WEBVTT - Democrats Can't Deflect Border Disaster 

0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Buck

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>at buck Sexton dot com. Biden's national disaster at the

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>border keeps getting worse. We're seeing this play out now

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>across the country. We're seeing what this actually means in

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>the media, how this is all going. They don't want

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>you to know what's happening. They're trying to hide it

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.639
<v Speaker 1>from you. We'll get into that, but now we should

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>all remember that this was exactly what we said would happen.

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>This was anticipated, that people were expecting this. This is not,

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>in any meaningful way a surprise effect. It's just maybe

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the numbers are bigger than we anticipated. The way that

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this is happening so quickly in the Biden administration has

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>gone even beyond what they expected. But I don't think

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>they have a problem with a de facto opening in

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>our border. They don't want to call it an open

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>border where there's a giant opening. Show up as a

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>family unit and you get to stay. It's all you

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>have to do. Show up as a family unit, you're

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>going to get to stay. So they can talk about

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>single adult males as much as they want. But what's

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>happening is a flood of unaccompanied miners and family units,

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>and they both get to stay those two categories of

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>those who cross illegally at the border. And they don't

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>want you to see this. They don't want you to

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>know what's really happening. And that's part of the censorship

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Biden administration, which is a huge challenge right now,

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>given the journalists are in the Biden administration's pocket. But

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>censorship on social media sites is also a major challenge.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, the left wants to silence and remove any ideas,

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>any voices they don't agree with. Twitter and Facebook. We're

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be open platforms. I don't need their content

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>moderators acting like the op ed section of the New

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>York Times. So instead of letting social media sites revoke

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>your right to free speech, how about revoking their right

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>their access to your data. Now, you could just deactivate

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>all your social media accounts, but that gives the left

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>what they want in the first place. So instead of

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>doing that, I use express VPN all right. Express VPN

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>anonymizes a lot of what you do online by hiding

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>your IP address. That makes your activity a whole lot

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers, and Express

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>VPN couldn't be easier to set up. You just tap

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>one button on your phone or computer and you're protected.

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Express VPN also encrypts one hundred percent of your data

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>to protect you and hackers and internet protect you from

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>hackers and Internet bad guys. It's time to finally say

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>no to censorship and take back your online privacy. You

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 1>need this. I've got it on my phone, on my devices.

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a must. Go to Express vpn dot com slash buck.

<v Speaker 1>By visiting my special link, you'll get an extra three

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>months of Express VPN service for free. Again, that's Express

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>To protect your data today, tens of millions of dollars

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>of taxpayer money now going to hotels to house illegal

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>immigrants who have come across the border and now cannot

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>even be held in the overcrowded facilities at our southern border,

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>so you are paying for it. That's what's going on

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 1>right now. That's actually that the situation as it unfolds

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>before us right now. The Biden administration can say as

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>much as they want about this, but we know that

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty six million dollars has been contracted for hotel rooms

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>for twelve hundred migrant families because they just simply have

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>no space for them in these facilities. You got fourteen

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a day now going to the cartels. That's

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that's real money, even for the Mexican drug cartels. Fourteen

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a day. And why is this happening. They're

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to hide from the truth. They're trying to blame

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>this on other people. They're trying to tell you things

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>that you can see obviously are not true. So instead

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of just listening to me, instead of basing it on

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>my analysis or assessment from up here in New York City,

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and I know you're listening all across the country, we

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>could just go right to the source, couldn't we. Why

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>not ask some of the migrants who are coming across

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the border why they're coming, what changed in their perception,

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.559
<v Speaker 1>why the numbers are exploding. You know, Democrats can't figure

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>if it's better to pretend the numbers aren't that bad,

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>or they are so bad but it's Trump's fault, or

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>they change the excuse every day. Here's ABC News as

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Martha rabbits asking an illegal immigrant across the border, why

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>did you do this? Play one. We were there when

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a bus of fifty six asylum seekers arrived at Cassa Elitis,

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a Catholic charity shelter in Tucson, Men, pregnant women and

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>children stepping off the bus with only what they could carry.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.559
<v Speaker 1>This father, who asked did we not show his face,

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>traveled to Mexico from Brazil with his wife and three

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>young kids before crossing the border. What do you have

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>tried to do this when Donald Trump was president? Definitely?

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Definitely we had a chance. You know, the same violence

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>there's going on today was there or less here? We

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>used to watch the news and I definitely won't won't

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>do this. So did you come here because Joe Biden

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>was elected president? Basically? Basically the main thing was the

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>violence in my country. And the second thing I think

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>was Joe Biden. There's violence in this country and there's

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. So why do you want to leave violence?

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Why are you coming? Joe Biden? Would you have come

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>under Trump? Definitely not. Don't think I would have made it,

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have been able to come in. Now I know

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.799
<v Speaker 1>you can say this is only one voice. But okay,

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>we've got people showing up at the border wearing Biden

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>let us in T shirts. We have individuals who are

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>interviewing with the press, who are giving interviews to the press,

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and they're saying that it is because of Biden, And yeah,

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>do you what do you think the primary the primary

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>tool of distraction or putting the blame on somebody else? Right? Well,

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>who do you think they go to right away? Oh,

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 1>that's right, it's the Trump administration. Play seventeen. We will

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>not abandon our values and our principles. We will not

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>abandon the needs of vulnerable children. That is what this

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>is all about. We are executing on our plan. It

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>does take time. It is difficult. Our plan includes the

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>deployment of the Federal Emergency Management Administration FEMA to assist

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>HHS in building its capacity more rapidly to shelter the children.

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But it is taking time and it is difficult because

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the entire system was dismantled by the prior administration. There

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>was a system in place in both Republican and Democratic

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>administrations that was torn down during the Trump administration. And

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that is why the challenge is more acute than it

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>ever has been before. He's saying more here than he

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>intends to. Notice. We had a crisis onner the Trump

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>administration because of the system, as he puts it, it

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>was being exploited. So the Trump administration fixes it, and

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>now you have DHS Secretary majorcas here bemoaning the fact

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that it was fixed. Essentially, he says, oh, they tore

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>down the system. We have to start from scratch, right,

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>because the Democrats system is take as many unaccompanied miners

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>at the border, and you know, they keep saying what

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>about four year olds? A huge majority of the people

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>showing up the border are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, So they

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>got to stop saying what about three year olds? Okay,

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not heartless, No one's no one saying that three

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>year old should be left to freeze or to starve.

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>But they have taken what's going on here and misrepresented

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it to the American people from the very beginning. If

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you show up as an unccompanied miner or a family unit,

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you're overwhelmingly likely, I mean it's you know, eighty ninety

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>percent likely you're going to be released in the American interior.

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be able to stay unless they figure out

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that you're actually recycling that's the term they use children

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>posing as parents, part of a cartel or something like that,

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>or have a violent criminal history, they're going to let

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you in the United States. So what they're doing now

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>is they're saying, well, it's not an open border because

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>adult migrant males are If they show up solo, they'll

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>be turned away. Right, what is the surge comprised of

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 1>family units and unaccompanied miners. Why is that happening? Because

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>they're responding directly to the incentives of the system, and

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats do not want to change those incentives. They

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>fundamentally do not believe that it's a problem that people

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>are skipping the immigration line and coming into the country

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>by abusing the asylum process. They could apply for refugee

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>st us in their home countries, they are choosing not

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to do so. Why is that Because they don't want

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to wait, they don't want to have their claims adjudicated,

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>because a vast majority of the claims of asylum are

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 1>not accepted. So the whole point, we can all see

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. The whole point is just find a

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>way to get into America and then just disappear in

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the American interior, wait for amnesty. That's the whole game,

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>all right. For the overwhelming majority of people who are

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.319
<v Speaker 1>crossing illegally in the United States, it is illegal to cross,

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>not at a port of entry. They can keep pretending

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's no illegality here. They're wrong, And the overwhelming

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>majority of those people do not get final asylum because

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>they are not really asylum seekers. They want to come

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to America, which I understand, But we have an immigration

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>system for a reason. If Democrats want to allow this

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to continue, they should be honest with the American people

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and say, we believe if you show up as a

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>family member, you have a story about why you should

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>stay in the US because of violence or whatever, you

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>get to stay. Forget it. But do you think that

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.479
<v Speaker 1>anyone's going to go through the migration or the immigration

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>system in the rest of the world legally now to

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.959
<v Speaker 1>come into America. You'd be a fool waiting years and years,

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>go to Mexico, pay off the cartel, show up at

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the border, come into America with your family. It's that simple.

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>So Democrats can't say that even though that's the reality.

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>So what do they say, Well, they pretend that they're

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>telling migrants not to come. Play sixteen again. These are

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Democrats saying that the change in Biden administration policy is

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>fueling the crisis. How do you respond, I, respectfully, I

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>disagree with them. Let me just say that we have

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a number of work streams in place. As I mentioned,

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>we are dealing with the needs of the children now.

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>We are rebuilding orderly ways in which the children can

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>make their claims without having to take the perilous journey

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to the border, right, and we are elevating our messaging

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>so that the individuals do know that they cannot come

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>to the border the border is closed. What they argue

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.439
<v Speaker 1>is that the messaging isn't working and that despite that,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>children and maybe even families are coming because they think

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that if they get here the border will be open

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>for them. That's causing the surge. Dana Danna, We are

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>expelling families, we are expelling single adults. We have communicated

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and we will continue to communicate to the children. Do

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>not come expelling families at what percentage? Because I think

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>if you found out the number, you'd say, Okay, So

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>this guy's just a huge liar, right, this guy's misrepresenting

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>what's going on the border? Really, they expelling families? Why

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>are they all showing up? Why do they keep showing up? Right?

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>The immigration market here, so to speak, right there, the

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>free market of illegal immigration is speaking in the numbers

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>up one hundred and eighty percent year over year for

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the last month. Enormous spike in unaccompanied miners. I mean,

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 1>the fifteen thousand unacompanied miners that are currently in custody.

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>They're all going to be led into the United States.

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>They're all being placed in the US. Okay, we know that,

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and none of them are going to be deported. So

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not true. How many how many of the families?

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>What percentage your families? Someone should ask, Ah, But they're

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>hiding the data. They're playing games. These people are liars, folks.

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 1>This Democrat bid administration, which is really just Obama's administration

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>three point zero. They are lying about this to you.

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 1>They cannot deal with the truth. And let me ask

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>this question which they will never give real answer to.

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Why are they telling Why are they turning migrants away? Right?

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 1>They want to tell you they're doing that, But why

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>are they doing that? Do they believe that these migrants

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't people? That need help and aren't desperate and shouldn't

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>be so. So some people shouldn't be led into the

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>United States, even if they're perfectly law abiding, decent folks

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>who just want a better life, and you know, all

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the things we always hear. Why why is that the case?

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, if Democrats can't have it both ways, it

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>can't be anybody can basically gain the system and come

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.319
<v Speaker 1>into the country. But oh, also, we don't want people.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 1>We're sending people away who try to do that. Well,

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>which one is it? Do you want to tell people?

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Will Democrats tell people you cannot stay if they show

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.079
<v Speaker 1>up as a family unit right now at the border?

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 1>And if so, why they don't. They don't seem to

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:39.319
<v Speaker 1>agree with that notion, right, They just keep changing the rules.

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>They shift the ground of the debate every few minutes

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>so that way they can never really be pinned down

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and have to defend any one position. They know that

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 1>this is showing how inept and just what a joke

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>this Biden administration is. We're already at there. I told

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.719
<v Speaker 1>you so, part of the Biden presidency. That's where we are.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>We're seeing what is happening in real time before us

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>after all the talk about how Biden was going to

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>be a great uniter and bring us all together. I mean,

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>no one really actually believes that anymore, or they shouldn't. Adana,

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>we are in the midst of a pandemic. We are

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>dealing with crowded border patrol facilities. We are focused on

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>our operations and the needs of the children, and at

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the same time, we are working to provide access to

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>those border patrol facilities when we can do so in

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a safe manner. Good working on that because we cover

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the we cover the White House under a pandemic, and

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>we've feared out how to do it largely safely. Yeah. Sure,

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Look they are saying this is about safety in the

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>facilities and making the facilities, making the process better. What's

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>really going on here is that you're seeing the plans

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Left in real time. You're seeing how this

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>actually works in real life. When you convince folks that

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be able to stay in America even

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>if they cross illegally, even if they're not legitimate asylum seekers. Remember,

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>asylum is a very specific thing. It is for people

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>who we give safe harbor too, because they can't safely

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>live in their own country. That's not the same thing

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 1>as I would rather live in America than Honduras, or

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I would rather live in America than Brazil or Pakistan

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>or Thailand or wherever. It's not the same thing. And

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>yet these very fundamental issues are what the Democrats dance around.

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think Newt Gingrich say it very well,

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>which is that the Left is living they're living in

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a delusion. The problem is they're in charge, they're in

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the position of power right now, and they're trying to

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>make all the rest of us live in this delusion too.

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>We can see what's going on. What they're saying is

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>not true. What they're presenting to you is a lie.

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>We're all very aware of this. We know that in

0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>their hearts they like to believe that there's some way

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to let everybody who wants to come into a Erica

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>from a developing country, in particular, let anybody wants to

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>come in come in while still have rule of law

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and an immigration system that functions. They think that those

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>two things can coexist. They're wrong. This is a delusion.

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Newt Season Place Play thirteen. Well, okay, I think that

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the entire left is living in a fantasy world. When

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you have thousands and thousands of people, three thousand teenagers

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>in the convention Center in Dallas who have come in illegally,

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>when you have night after night of violence in Portland,

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>when you have rising crime rates almost everywhere in the country,

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and you have gasoline prices starting back up at some point,

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>normal everyday Americans are going to realize the gap between

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the fantasy world of Biden and Harris and the real

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>world of everyday Americans. And I think that that's going

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to be extraordinarily expensive for the Democrats in two twenty two,

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>because you basically have a fight between the American people

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and a democratic machine. And on almost every major issue now,

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 1>the American people are on one side and the machine

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>is on the other. And what exactly do we have

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to show for this Biden administration so far that anybody

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>could point to and say, you know what they're doing

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.159
<v Speaker 1>a really good job on and then just fill in

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the blank. Where are we seeing really excellent work from

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration? I remember all those laughable lies from

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty election cycle about the competent and moderate

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 1>elder statesman from Delaware, Joe Biden. You know you could

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>trust it old Joe from Scranton. He's not some radical

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>commie who smashes in the windows at Starbucks and comes

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>up with new prodowns every five minutes. I mean, this

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>guy's got more political longevity than a giant tortoise. In fact,

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>this is true. Biden's been around so long. When he

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.879
<v Speaker 1>first went to the United States Senate, we were figuring

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.439
<v Speaker 1>out how to end the war in Vietnam. That's the truth.

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how much damage could he really do as president?

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just look at our southern border and you

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 1>get the answer to that. We are two months in

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the Biden presidency. So far it's an utter debacle. There

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>are more illegal immigrant kids in cages quote that's what

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>they called it under Trump than ever before, over fifteen thousand.

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Right now, illegal crossings have skyrocketed to well over one

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.479
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand a month, no end in sight. Cartels are

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.919
<v Speaker 1>getting richer, and our immigration laws look like a big joke,

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.199
<v Speaker 1>all because a good old Joe. Migrants are showing up

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.640
<v Speaker 1>with Biden t shirts on. They've told journalists in interviews

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 1>that they're coming because Biden will let them in, and

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the response from Team Biden is nonsense. We see it

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 1>all all right. They swerve around the word crisis in

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>these press conferences like a drunk hippo on ice skates,

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 1>scary for everybody, and no one's buying it. And when

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't work, they'll try to blame everything on Trump.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 1>It's a pathetic display. I mean, the DNC is not

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>sending us their best. None of this is surprising, not

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the divisive left wing executive orders from day one, the

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 1>escalator authoritarian madness around masks, the stalled lockdown recovery, the

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 1>rising gas prices, or the growing sense that the stock

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>market's going to crash any day now. Biden is, as

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 1>so many on the rights set all along, a Democrat

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>figurehead with no talent other than showing up and saying

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever works. What we've got is the third term of

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the Obama administration. But with mister McGoo playing the role

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>of president. It's tough to know what's more frightening to

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:48.320
<v Speaker 1>declining hide and Biden press conferences or staircases. The border

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>crisis is just the most visible manifestation of this obvious reality.

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden was never up for this job, and we

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 1>can all see it. He has neither a vision for

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the nation's future nor the leadership skills to take us there.

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>He just spews the talking points and does what the

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.200
<v Speaker 1>handlers and advisers tell him to. He's supposed to be

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a great uniter, the healing leader for whom our nation

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>was crying out at this point. Feels like a victory

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>for the country whenever he doesn't wander on stage and

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>mumble some nonsense about the science. By the time the

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Democrats can't hold up this facade anymore, the media will

0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 1>be talking about how President Harris really needs to step

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>in and take the reins, and that's not too far off,

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know what they'll do. Then they'll scoff at

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.239
<v Speaker 1>anyone who points out this is exactly what we were

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:34.120
<v Speaker 1>expecting all along, just as they do now as they

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>mouth the preferred slogans of Biden's Marxist puppeteers. Exactly as

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I said he would. Many of us saw in advance,

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 1>when you've been vaccinated, or when you've gotten the disease naturally,

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that you are spreading it. If there were, it would

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 1>be all over the news. There are no news reports

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and no scientific studies saying that after vaccination that there's

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:02.719
<v Speaker 1>some sort of widespread contagion people vaccinated are spreading the disease.

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just not true. What Fauci won't tell you is

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>that he's telling you a noble lie. He's lying to

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 1>you because he doesn't think we're smart enough to make decisions.

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 1>His fear is if the vaccinated quit wearing the mask,

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the unvaccinated will say, what the hell, I'm not wearing

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a mask either, So he lies to you to say, oh,

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the mask makes a difference, when in reality he knows better.

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>He's wearing two masks for theater. It's complete theater. He's immune,

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 1>he knows he's not going to get it, but he

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>is not being honest with the American public. I ran Paul,

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 1>this guy's amazing. I mean, he's you know, sometimes there's

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.880
<v Speaker 1>only a few people who will come out and just

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>say it, and ran Paul on this one. Right now.

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like I'm thankful. I'm thankful. I wish

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I could give the guy a high five that he's

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 1>calling out what's so obvious. Yeah, Fauci is that little tyrant,

0:21:55.000 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>that feckless bureaucrat is double masking because he, I mean,

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I think very clearly wants to show people how seriously

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 1>he takes the virus even though he's immune, so there's

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:12.960
<v Speaker 1>really no reason for him to do this. But then again,

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 1>there's no reason for people, including the journos all across

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream media, including Biden himself, to take photos of

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>themselves with a mask on and put that on their

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 1>social media profile, to put that on their Twitter or

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 1>their Facebook, except that this has become about tribal, political

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and ideological allegiance for a lot of people, not for everybody.

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Some people really believe in the magic of wearing masks

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to defend you from this, you know, in a meaningful way.

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>How many times have I told you that it's probably

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.919
<v Speaker 1>helps a tiny bit, but it's way overblown, and then

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you used to observe it. See what's going on masks.

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>You walk down the street in New York City, outside,

0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>you'll see ninety people wearing masks, just walk around. You

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>see it. That's outdoors. You can't go into any place

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 1>without a mask on right now. Indoors, you can't do it.

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 1>They won't let you in anywhere. Has that stopped the virus?

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Did it stop for the spread of the virus in

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>the wintertime in New York City? Now? Did not at all?

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>In fact, now they're saying there's a pretty high positivity

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>right here in New York. So this is not a

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 1>situation that we should allow to continue on without some

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>real pushback, without really figuring out what the heck is

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 1>going on here. Double masking when you are immune is theater, right.

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 1>You can say it's good theater, you can say you

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 1>like it, you can say you're happy about the situation

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:50.960
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, but it is theatrical. And this statement

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that he makes about how they they don't want people

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 1>who are vaccinated to stop masking is because the moment

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>that somebody could walk in. I mean, i'll tell you

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>this right now, and this is just the truth. If

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I could go into my gym, for example, and say,

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, blank off, when some mask shamer comes over,

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>blank off, I'm vaccinated, is there a decent chance that

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I probably would say that I'll just leave that out there.

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:21.360
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot of people would say, Okay, I'm

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>done with the stupid tyranny of these morons, And that

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>would mean the whole, the whole masking regime falls apart.

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.119
<v Speaker 1>It has to be mandatory for everyone. And notice that

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the only way they've been able to justify this is

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>somehow the science as we've gone along has almost magically

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.239
<v Speaker 1>been manipulated. It's just been perfect. At first it was

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>they're really good for protection. Then it was it's really

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 1>good at protecting you both ways, so from transmitting and

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>from receiving the virus in the air. And then it was, well, actually,

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's really just about you not transmitting it to

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:58.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody else, and then that created this whole Well, it's

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.200
<v Speaker 1>not about what you want, it's about the risk you're

0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>posing to other people, and that I just want to say, well,

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, other people could also avoid congregate settings, couldn't they.

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't want to. You don't want to

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:12.119
<v Speaker 1>be in a gym where people are unmasked. Don't go

0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 1>to the gym. What's so bad about that? No, Instead,

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody has to suffer because of the anxiety of a

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>few people. Everybody has to sufferer because of the belief

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:28.200
<v Speaker 1>that doctor Fauci's not lying to you about the science.

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to when I say lying to you

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.360
<v Speaker 1>about the science, these are all judgment calls. They're making

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>judgment calls, and right now, for public policy reasons, they're

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 1>telling people you have to ask even after you're vaccinated,

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and you're starting to see it pop up more and

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 1>more forever, masking is gaining traction. You know, if this

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 1>works so well, if this protects people so effectively, including

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 1>from the flu, including from other coronaviruses that are out there,

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>including from you know, why wait to see what the

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>next pandemic is like We could stop it in its tracks,

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 1>they say, which, of course is idiocy because you look

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 1>at what's happened in the last year. But we could

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>stop the next pandemic if only we mask up enough.

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>This has turned into a religious belief. That's what this is.

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's the same thing as as Bill when

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Bill Gates, as he did recently, says that to fight

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>climate change, he's going to eat less meat personally, that's

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a religious belief, all right, That's that's a question of

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:29.119
<v Speaker 1>individual virtue from action that no rational, no rational viewpoint

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 1>could ever say is going to make a change in anything. Right,

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a religious belief. And when you look at what

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the reality of our version of lockdowns, which remember we

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>never really locked down. I have to point this out

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 1>to people all the time. They act like, you know,

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.920
<v Speaker 1>these work from home people who's sitting on their couches

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>in you know, in Los Angeles, on the west side

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 1>of Los Angeles, you know, closer to the water, and

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>in Brooklyn and in Washington, DC. They've been worked from

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 1>home this whole time time and they act like they're

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 1>big heroes. The essential workers are still getting on subways,

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>getting into crowded places, going into buildings, and still getting sick.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:13.439
<v Speaker 1>They haven't. There's not actually a real lockdown. This is

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>what people don't understand. There's a partial lockdown. So we

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>get the downside of this, of all of this with

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the herd economy and people separated from each other, But

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the virus continues to spread because the number one place

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it spreads is in the home. And so as long

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>as you have some people who are out there subjecting

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 1>themselves to getting it, it continues to it continues to

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>move through the population. You know, well, why are we

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>not doing psurology testing anymore for antibodies than population? By

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the way, you notice that just why did that disappear?

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 1>We did it in June. It's not crazy. There used

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to be a real interest in this. How many people

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>have actually been infected? Well, maybe because folks would realize

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 1>this whole health policy stuff from Fauci and all the

0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:00.719
<v Speaker 1>rest of them and worked so well that I mean,

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 1>they say, what, thirty million Americans have gotten coronavirus? What

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.679
<v Speaker 1>if it was double or triple that they don't know.

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They tell us that forty percent of transmission occurs in

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:13.120
<v Speaker 1>asymptomatic people. So you got to assume there's a huge

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>number of asymptomatic people who had it never knew, and

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>they've been tested and they don't know, or they weren't

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 1>tested rather and they never found out. So the truth

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 1>is they can't allow their their little tyrannical grip off

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 1>your throat, off your face for one second, because then

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing falls apart. If there were a state

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that made outdoor mask wearing on safety grounds, because there

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 1>are places that say you can't actually mask unless it's

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a part of your job, you know, construction work or something.

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't actually mask up in public. People should be

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 1>able to see your face, know who you are. It's

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a safety issue. If there were a state that said

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that they would ban outdoor mask wearing on safety issues,

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and they would ban indoor mask wearing on health issues,

0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not good for you to be breathing in you know,

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 1>your own whatever, you're expelling all the time, and this

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>is not This is not good for a lot of folks,

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>not good for your anxiety levels, it's not good for

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>your mental health, it's not good for your understanding of

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>your relationship with the state, with the government. If if

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 1>there were a state, I don't care which one it

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>is that decided they do that, I would seriously consider

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>moving just based on that. I think it's that important

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 1>now to run the experiment to show that all this

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff they're just wrong. And they won't they won't back off,

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>they won't admit that what they've been telling this to

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>do does not work. Didn't work in America, didn't work

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in Europe, doesn't work. You know, if we were a

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 1>tiny island that could cut off all travel and that

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>force people into their homes for months on end, maybe

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>it would work. We didn't do anything even close to that.

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 1>So why pretend. Well, there are a lot of people

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 1>out there that are pretending for a bunch of different reasons.

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 1>One of them is Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. We gotta

0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>get into that in a second. We follow the CDC

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>guidelines any nursing home that did take a resident back.

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>We worked with them to make sure that they had

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 1>all the safety protocols. That was their choice. No one

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>was mandated, and we have shared all of the information

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that has been mandated by the federal government, which is

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot publicly. So I heard nursing home story, like everyone's,

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>is sad because this is where the spirius thrives and

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>has taken so many lives. And yet the Michigan experience

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 1>has I think been stronger than that of many other states.

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And so this is this is sadly politics pervading our

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>public health. Still, We're not going to get distracted. I'm

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 1>going to stay focused on getting my state through this

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>tough time and keep moving forward. As Governor, Gretchen Whitmer

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>of Michigan was the queen of the lockdowns. She was

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the governor who, right behind Cuomo and Newsom, was among

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the biggest advocates for lockdown, among the most the most

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 1>ardent people for masking and all these different mitigation measures.

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>As foul, she says, well, it turns out that she

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>might have her own nursing home disasters. You know, Cuomo

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>made the inexplicably stupid and lethal decision to send people

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 1>back into nursing homes when they when they had COVID,

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 1>which was if you were trying to find a way

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to bring up the death toll, that would have been

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a very good plan. If you were trying to find

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a mechanism to make make people more likely to get

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.160
<v Speaker 1>severely ill or die. As a governor, that was a

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 1>good place to start. Whitmer issued an order on April fifteenth,

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, that was very similar, very similar to the

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo order. And it has also come up that the

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>uh here this from the USA Today has come to

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>light the New York authorities number falling pressure from the

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Governor's office delivery uner account of the number of patients,

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and the patient numbers are more than forty percent higher

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 1>while deaths were seventy five percent higher. So what was

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the reality of the Whitmer decision here in Michigan? Again,

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>this piece in USA Today, did Michigan cover up nursing

0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 1>home COVID deaths like New York? Raises some interesting questions.

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.479
<v Speaker 1>Here's what they write, quote the public had a right

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to these grim facts, Yet it took a five month

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>long lawsuit by New York's Empire Center for Public Policy

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to discover some of the most important information. Governor Cuomo

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>simply wasn't transparent, and neither is this state of Michigan.

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Michigan is one of only two states where the governor

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is exempt from freedom of information laws, and the only

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>state where that exemption is written into statute. Thanks to

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 1>this exemption, the governor has no obligation to produce any

0:32:56.680 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>records whatsoever, despite making decisions affecting the lives of every Michigander.

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Michigan's one of only two states where the governor exempt

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>from freedom information laws. Governor Whitmer has used this veil

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>of secrecy to act with impunity. Her office has almost

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>single handedly dictated the state's COVID nineteen policies without disclosing

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the data she has used to make her decisions. After

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the Michigan Supreme Court struck down the statute, Governor Whitmer

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 1>relied on for her emergency authority. The Michigan Department of

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Health and Human Services became the vessel for COVID decision making.

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 1>While yet, while that department is subject to FOYA, it

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:34.400
<v Speaker 1>has not been any more transparent. The state continues to

0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>release information about the number of cases and debts, but

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 1>not the underlying records. This is unacceptable. The state is

0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>asking voters to simply accept its published data without the

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 1>chance to verify the records used to create them. The

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Quomo scandaled Democrats how dangerous it is to trust politicians.

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Access to information is essential. That's why we're suing the

0:33:55.960 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. And after the

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>state began adding additional death to its tally, one of

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 1>us requested the underlying data of these added deaths, and

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we're trying. They're trying to get into all this. It

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't take a lawsuit to figure this out, but that's

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 1>where they are. And Gretchen Whitmer's going to fight this.

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:16.799
<v Speaker 1>You know why. You're going to find out that that

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 1>while the governors were worried about their makeup, whether it

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>was Whitmer or Cuomo or Newsom, while they were on

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>TV trying to build their profile. Ever, Whitmer was talked about, Oh,

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe she'd be a good Democrat vice president, right, maybe

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe she somebody who should be in the mix here

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>That was being discussed a year ago. They were also

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:39.280
<v Speaker 1>concerned with how it was making them look, how concerned

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>were they with the actual governance of what was going on?

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:46.919
<v Speaker 1>How much were they focused on their job instead of

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 1>their optics? Right, Well, we can only know that if

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 1>we get the actual data, and it's become increasingly clear

0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:01.399
<v Speaker 1>that Governor Whittmer doesn't us to have that data. Why

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is that, Well, here's a guess more people died in

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 1>nursing homes from COVID. And it's especially after she gave

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a very similar order to Cuomo, right, because I'm sure

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:17.320
<v Speaker 1>she saw that, heard about that, or had a similar

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>reaction of you know, we've just got to because there

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:22.399
<v Speaker 1>was this panic about, oh, we've got to clear out

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the hospital capacity. Oh, the hospital capacity. We're going to

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>overwhelm the hospitals. It never actually happened. There was no

0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:32.280
<v Speaker 1>hospital system that collapsed in this country because we couldn't

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 1>get anybody care. But Whitmer knows that her political future

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 1>hangs in the balance here. And just as we've seen

0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 1>with so many other who are the people that were

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.279
<v Speaker 1>heroes during the pandemic and now look like villains. You'll

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 1>notice one thing in common about all of them. They're Democrats.

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo Newsome, Whitmer, who was a Republican in twenty twenty

0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was considered some kind of a COVID nineteen leader hero whatever,

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and now we see was actually awful. I can't think

0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>of a single one. Does anybody really believe that that's

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a surprise, or that's an accident, that's a coincidence. Nope.

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we all understand what's going on here. I

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>think we're all quite aware of the fact that the

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Party, while pretending to be the party of science

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 1>and pretending to be the people that care so much

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:32.480
<v Speaker 1>about the data and the facts, we're covering up a

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff because ultimately they didn't know what they

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 1>were doing. They made bad decisions in major states that

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 1>affected thousands and thousands of lives, may have cost in

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the aggregate thousands of lives. And now the most important

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:50.040
<v Speaker 1>thing to them is that they don't want to be

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 1>held accountable. Now, the most important thing is that they

0:36:53.520 --> 0:36:59.360
<v Speaker 1>would rather think about their reelection effort and maybe a

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.560
<v Speaker 1>cable news contributorship or something like that, instead of actually

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:05.480
<v Speaker 1>faced the music for what they did. I mean, Whitmer

0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:08.319
<v Speaker 1>was the one who decided you couldn't go from one

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>house to another that you owned during the pandemic. You

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>remember that you were not allowed to travel if you

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:15.480
<v Speaker 1>owned a lake house, let's say, and you were in

0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the city, not allowed to go to your lake house,

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 1>as if that was ever really enforceable. But that was

0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 1>the tyrannical mindset that she exemplified, and the media held

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 1>her up as some kind of a hero for this.

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>The media pretended that because of all this, she was

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a really good person, somebody that we should all listen to.

0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 1>She really knew what she was doing, she really knew

0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:36.800
<v Speaker 1>what was going on. Yeah, let's see what those nursing

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 1>home numbers look like. Let's let's see Governor Whitmer of

0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Michigan open up the books a little bit. Well from

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.319
<v Speaker 1>where I said, I want to see a deeper investigation

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 1>into whether or not these shootings and other similar crimes

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:52.080
<v Speaker 1>are racially motivated. It looks racially motivated to me. But

0:37:53.080 --> 0:37:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not a police officer. IM not investigating

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the crimes. What I have done, though, is I have

0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 1>actually said a letter to Director Ray, to Attorney General

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Garland asking for a deeper investigation into crimes that involve

0:38:07.200 --> 0:38:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Asian Americans to see how many crimes have actually been

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:13.040
<v Speaker 1>underreported as hate crimes. We know that crimes against Asian

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Americans that have been categorized as hate crimes have increased

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.240
<v Speaker 1>by over one hundred and fifty percent in our nation's

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 1>major cities. That's over thirty eight hundred additional crimes last year.

0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 1>But we also know that many of these crimes go

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 1>underreported as hate crimes, and I just classified as a

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:31.319
<v Speaker 1>mugging or harassment or vandalism when they really they were

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:35.879
<v Speaker 1>targeted at Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in particular. So

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 1>they're they're all this anti Asian hate crime crusade right

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>now in the medium, and you're going to see a

0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:45.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of numbers in statistics. Use one thing that I

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 1>will tell you is that the way that they will

0:38:48.960 --> 0:38:52.160
<v Speaker 1>present statistics, you know, you've got to look at the

0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:54.719
<v Speaker 1>You got to look at the overall numbers too. If

0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you see that there were there was a two hundred

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:00.879
<v Speaker 1>percent increase in hate crimes, let's say, in a city

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in America against Asian Americans, against anybody, But if you

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:05.759
<v Speaker 1>saw two hundred percent increase in hate crimes, you'd say,

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:07.279
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, we've got a we've got a real

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 1>problem that must be addressed immediately. You would still think

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you had a problem, but you might feel differently about

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the scope of it. If you found out that the

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the two hundred percent increase was from oh,

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know ten to you know, ten to thirty, right,

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Or if you found out that the two hundred percent

0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:33.759
<v Speaker 1>increase was from uh, you know, four to twelve, right,

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, whatever the case. Or you know, if there

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>was one hundred percent increase, I'll make it easy, you'll

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:40.279
<v Speaker 1>make it. We'll just make it a simple double. If

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 1>it went from four to eight, you'd say, Wow, that's

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot. That's a that's a big that's a

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.799
<v Speaker 1>big change. Right, that's a big change. Except that's not

0:39:51.840 --> 0:39:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of overall cases. So be aware of the

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:57.799
<v Speaker 1>way that that statistics are used. They do this with

0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the when they want to create a a media hysteria

0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:05.920
<v Speaker 1>around a general sweeping surge of hate crimes or something

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 1>like that, that's one of the things they'll do. They'll

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:11.360
<v Speaker 1>use the statistic that sounds like it is indicative of

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 1>a wave of a massive pattern shift, when really it

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>could just be anomalous to a certain period of time.

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 1>You have to look at it. Another thing is what

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you'd have to say when the narrative. What's this piece

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>here from Andrew Sullivan when the narrative replaces the news.

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Sullivan is a he's heterodoxy, can be a liberal

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>in many ways, but he also occasionally will call out

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the absurdities of liberalism. Guy started a blog a long

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:44.080
<v Speaker 1>time ago. He's created a very successful audience for himself,

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and what he writes here, this is one of the

0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 1>best pieces. This is the best piece I've read on

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta shooting massacre. And it's because it goes to

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:57.839
<v Speaker 1>the nature of our news media right now is such

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that it is all it is all commentary over reporting.

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Reporting is just the thing you do briefly so you

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>can start all commenting on it right away. And I'm

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about the most reputed news organizations. I'm talking about

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:14.279
<v Speaker 1>you name it. There are a lot of them out there,

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.000
<v Speaker 1>New York Times, Washington Post. This is what they do.

0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And here's how we go into this piece from Andrew Sullivan. Quote.

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>The massacres at three massage parlors in Atlanta last week,

0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:31.040
<v Speaker 1>leaving eight human beings dead, others injured, and their families scarred,

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 1>were horrifying. Read this deeply moving story about the son

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 1>of one of the women killed. To remind yourself of this.

0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:41.399
<v Speaker 1>It's brutal. The grief will spread and resonate some more.

0:41:42.040 --> 0:41:44.719
<v Speaker 1>But this story also has been deeply instructive about our

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 1>national discourse and the state of the American mainstream and

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:51.080
<v Speaker 1>elite media. This story's coverages proof if it seems to

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:54.640
<v Speaker 1>me that American journalists have officially abandoned the habit of

0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:58.880
<v Speaker 1>attempting any kind of objectivity in reporting these stories. We

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 1>are now in the enlightened and social justice world of

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 1>moral clarity and narrative shaping. Here's the truth. We do

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:08.600
<v Speaker 1>not yet know why this man did these horrible things.

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 1>It's probably complicated, or, as my therapist used to say, multidetermined.

0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:16.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why we have thorough investigation and trials in America.

0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:18.760
<v Speaker 1>We only have one solid piece of information as to motive,

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>which is the confession by the mass killer to law

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 1>enforcement that he was a religious fundamentalist who was determined

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:26.840
<v Speaker 1>to live up to chastity and repeatedly failed, as is

0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:29.440
<v Speaker 1>often the case like the nine to eleven bombers and

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the mass murderer at the Pulse nightclub. He took out

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 1>his angst on the source of what he saw as

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:37.640
<v Speaker 1>his temptation and committed mass murder. This is evil in

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the classic fundamentalist sense, a perversion of religion and sexual

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>repression into violence. We should not take the killer confession

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>as definitive. But we have yet to find I'm skipping

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:50.160
<v Speaker 1>down here a little bit, any credible evidence of anti

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Asian hatred or bigotry in this man's history. Maybe we will.

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:55.400
<v Speaker 1>We can't rule it out, but we do know his

0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:58.160
<v Speaker 1>roommates say they once asked him if he picked the

0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:00.759
<v Speaker 1>spons for sex because the women were Asian. He denied it.

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 1>He said they were just the safest way to have

0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>quick sex. And yet you know what's coming a company.

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:09.879
<v Speaker 1>One original piece on the known facts. The New York

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Times ran nine, that's right, nine separate stories about the

0:43:14.680 --> 0:43:16.880
<v Speaker 1>incident as part of the narrative that this was an

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:22.200
<v Speaker 1>anti Asian hate crime fueled by white supremacy and or misogyny.

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Not to be outdone, the Washington Post ran sixteen separate

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:29.560
<v Speaker 1>stories on the incident as an anti Asian white supremacist

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 1>hate crime, sixteen one story for the facts, sixteen on

0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:39.640
<v Speaker 1>how critical race theory would interpret the event regardless of

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the facts. End quote, And that's about That's about what

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you would expect. Now, I think that's really where we are.

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 1>You're at about a sixteen to one ratio. You're at

0:43:54.760 --> 0:43:59.759
<v Speaker 1>about a sixteen to one ratio of time spent reporting

0:43:59.800 --> 0:44:02.120
<v Speaker 1>on an incident like this. We're porting on what actually

0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:08.800
<v Speaker 1>happened versus the time that would be spent, say, talking

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>about how this is Donald Trump's fault. And that happened

0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot too. It was remarkable you had, on the

0:44:14.480 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 1>one hand, a mass shooting with a shooter in custody.

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 1>He's already admitted it. We know this is the guy.

0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, he told everybody what his motive is. And

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:28.839
<v Speaker 1>in no way do we know that he liked Donald Trump,

0:44:28.920 --> 0:44:31.000
<v Speaker 1>listened to Donald Trump, had anything to do with Donald Trump.

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 1>We don't even know if he was politically interested or

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.839
<v Speaker 1>motivated at all. There are there are people that think

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of themselves as serious public intellectuals who are spending their

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:44.319
<v Speaker 1>time writing about how this is Donald Trump's fault. That's

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:46.839
<v Speaker 1>what we're supposed to take from this is this is

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:50.799
<v Speaker 1>a Trump problem. That's what they tell us. What is

0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the basis for this? What is the uh the foundation

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of this? Well, this is now what the media marketplace demands.

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you're going to be awoke liberal, if

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be somebody on the left who really

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:09.200
<v Speaker 1>believes all this stuff, believes in all this stuff, you

0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:13.400
<v Speaker 1>have to push the agenda. And that means any opportunity

0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you have to take things that occur and fit them

0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 1>into the agenda that you have. You need to take

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:23.840
<v Speaker 1>things that are occurring and use them for this purpose,

0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:27.880
<v Speaker 1>even if it doesn't line up. What's the most important

0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:29.279
<v Speaker 1>thing that you get the facts right, or that you

0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:32.279
<v Speaker 1>support the narrative. If you're a leftist, if you're a

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:35.319
<v Speaker 1>social justice warrior, the narrative is the most important thing.

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's the whole reason for this Andrew Sullivan piece.

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd also say he points out, I think rather correctly

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that mass shooters and mass killers, when they're in custody,

0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they tend to want to tell people why they did

0:45:47.040 --> 0:45:51.160
<v Speaker 1>these things, and we don't usually see them lying about it.

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:53.480
<v Speaker 1>They usually will tell you, I shot these people because

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm a fundamentalist, lunatic who kills people because whatever it

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 1>may be. And in this instance, we're supposed to think

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that this guy is lying about it. Why. I mean,

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that somebody who would murder eight innocent people,

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>including two non Asian individuals, who get left out of

0:46:12.239 --> 0:46:14.719
<v Speaker 1>much of the news coverage of this is somebody who's

0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 1>trustworthy in any respect. Obviously, this guy is a moral monster,

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:21.239
<v Speaker 1>but there's no reason to believe he would lie about

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 1>about his motivation. He's already caught. I mean, he's probably

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:25.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be facing the death penalty if he doesn't spend

0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the rest of his life in a criminal mental facility.

0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:33.719
<v Speaker 1>So why all the news reporting on how this is

0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:37.799
<v Speaker 1>about white supremacy and anti Asian bias? A lot of

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:40.800
<v Speaker 1>news reporting on that. I also saw over the weekend

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that there was a sixty eight year old Sri Lankan

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:51.359
<v Speaker 1>immigrant on a train in Manhattan who was attacked while

0:46:51.440 --> 0:46:56.239
<v Speaker 1>the guy was shouting anti Asian slurs. And it was

0:46:56.280 --> 0:46:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a he was a black man wearing a pink hoodie,

0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:03.160
<v Speaker 1>pink hood sweatshirt with a fedora on. And there's very

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 1>prominent photos that have been released by the NYPD. And

0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:10.359
<v Speaker 1>now that's just one assault, that's one attack, but it's

0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>clearly an anti I mean, if you're punching someone and

0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:15.440
<v Speaker 1>yelling anti Asian slurs, the guy just punched him for

0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:19.440
<v Speaker 1>no no, no altercation, nothing before, and just punched him.

0:47:19.520 --> 0:47:24.399
<v Speaker 1>If you're doing that, chances are it's a hate crime. Right,

0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 1>If you're actually just punching somebody because you see them

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:30.359
<v Speaker 1>and say I hate you because blank and you're hitting them,

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:32.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a hate crime. There have been a lot of

0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:36.719
<v Speaker 1>incidents like this, and a disproportionate number of them, at

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:40.720
<v Speaker 1>least twenty seven percent by the numbers, overall of attacks

0:47:40.719 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>on Asian Americans come from black Americans. Yet the media

0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't grapple with this and how it affects the white

0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:51.560
<v Speaker 1>supremacy and Donald Trump is responsible for calling it the

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Wuhan virus at all. They don't deal with that at all.

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:59.080
<v Speaker 1>What do they say, Oh, well, white the legacy and

0:47:59.080 --> 0:48:04.879
<v Speaker 1>a history of white supremacy is what has caused these

0:48:04.960 --> 0:48:08.400
<v Speaker 1>kinds of racial tensions to exist in the first place. Therefore,

0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:12.080
<v Speaker 1>even and this is real analysis you'll find online, even

0:48:11.520 --> 0:48:15.040
<v Speaker 1>when a black man attacks an Asian man for no

0:48:15.120 --> 0:48:19.680
<v Speaker 1>reason and screams anti Asian slurs, it is evidence to

0:48:19.760 --> 0:48:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the left of white supremacy. This is real, Bill. They

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>will say this, They will make that case. So be

0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 1>aware of the fact that you're being misled. And we've

0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>increasingly entered this world where what you can readily and

0:48:38.000 --> 0:48:42.319
<v Speaker 1>easily observe is no longer acceptable to be set out loud.

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:45.320
<v Speaker 1>What you can see quite clearly is true or untrue

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:50.319
<v Speaker 1>is risky to say, to share. To believe there is

0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a narrative, you are to accept it. And if the

0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:58.440
<v Speaker 1>narrative is that Donald Trump has created white supremacist a

0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 1>wave of white supremacists tacks on Asian Americans, even if

0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the evidence does not in any meaningful way support that,

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you better say that or else. This is Joe Biden's America.

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:12.520
<v Speaker 1>We're now folks. That's how it goes. In the shadow

0:49:12.640 --> 0:49:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of this great American rescue package. Is so proud that

0:49:16.440 --> 0:49:19.640
<v Speaker 1>we've got that done in the Senate, in Congress, and

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:22.959
<v Speaker 1>out the door. But it shouldn't have been this hard.

0:49:23.080 --> 0:49:26.360
<v Speaker 1>It's been another reminder that we need to eliminate the filibuster.

0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:30.560
<v Speaker 1>So many important issues to tackle, from protecting voting rights,

0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:36.280
<v Speaker 1>addressing climate change, expanding healthcare access, criminal justice reform, immigration reform,

0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and so much more. It shouldn't be this hard, But

0:49:39.320 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the filibuster is standing in the way, and it's time

0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:45.320
<v Speaker 1>for the filibuster to go. So I think patience is

0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:48.480
<v Speaker 1>where I'm finn on. The last few Democrats that are

0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:52.120
<v Speaker 1>still not quite there uneliminated the filibuster. So the sooner

0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:53.759
<v Speaker 1>we can do it, the sooner we can move on

0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:57.239
<v Speaker 1>with advancing a progressive agenda, not just for California but

0:49:57.360 --> 0:50:00.680
<v Speaker 1>for the nation. They tell you Democrats wouldn't actually and

0:50:00.719 --> 0:50:04.360
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't actually elimitate the filibuster. That's that's the storyline

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:06.759
<v Speaker 1>out there. They're not really going to do it. No,

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I think they will do it. Why wouldn't they do it?

0:50:09.360 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I have a very different feeling than a lot of

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:15.919
<v Speaker 1>other people on this. We believe, including Republicans, we believe

0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that Democrats have an interest in playing fair. We think

0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that the Democrat approach this is going to be well,

0:50:22.239 --> 0:50:25.920
<v Speaker 1>we've set a precedent here, we need to, you know,

0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:28.480
<v Speaker 1>stay with what we've said we would do in the past.

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Is that really the belief? No, right, No one really

0:50:32.400 --> 0:50:36.520
<v Speaker 1>thinks that's the case. The Democrats are unwilling to abuse

0:50:37.440 --> 0:50:39.720
<v Speaker 1>their power. No one really thinks that Democrats are unwilling

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to go with an absolutist approach if they can get

0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:48.680
<v Speaker 1>away with it, right, So what's really going on here? Why?

0:50:48.800 --> 0:50:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Why are we sitting around acting like this isn't a

0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:55.160
<v Speaker 1>very realistic thing. I mean, that's Senator Alex Padilla, who's

0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 1>just telling everybody, yeah, that the filibuster is the problem.

0:50:58.640 --> 0:51:00.880
<v Speaker 1>If you want to really progress of agenda, I mean,

0:51:00.880 --> 0:51:05.600
<v Speaker 1>if you want to transformationally progressive agenda, this is what

0:51:05.640 --> 0:51:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you gotta do. They got rid of it for judicial

0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 1>nominees under Obama. I mean, can anyone else see the

0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:14.480
<v Speaker 1>incrementalism at work here? Can anyone else see the frog

0:51:14.719 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>slowly boiling at the temperature of the progressive absolutism keeps

0:51:19.480 --> 0:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>getting turned up up up, filibuster standing in the way, Yeah, no, no,

0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:28.200
<v Speaker 1>no surprise. Anything that stands in the way of complete

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 1>democrat control, they will find some excuse, They will find

0:51:32.080 --> 0:51:36.560
<v Speaker 1>some rationale to tell you is a problem, and anyone

0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:40.640
<v Speaker 1>who points out their unprincipled actions will in turn be

0:51:40.719 --> 0:51:45.359
<v Speaker 1>called unprincipled. That's actually that's how this goes. That's the

0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:52.200
<v Speaker 1>way this operates. Let's see now what Tom Cotton, what

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Tom Cotton, Senator has to say about this. I mean

0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that just the fact that they're calling it filibuster reform

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:01.879
<v Speaker 1>strikes me as just absurd. Right now, no one really

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:06.080
<v Speaker 1>believes this is a reform of the this is filibuster elimination.

0:52:06.280 --> 0:52:10.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're trying to do. That's what they believe

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:15.439
<v Speaker 1>is going on here, and that's what they want. So

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:19.759
<v Speaker 1>why reform? How how are you reforming something? You know,

0:52:19.840 --> 0:52:22.640
<v Speaker 1>if you if you say you don't want three pointers

0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 1>in basketball anymore, and you're going to get rid of

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:28.799
<v Speaker 1>the three point line because NBA games have turned into

0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a three point shooting contest, which I think is the

0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 1>whole other conversation we could have. You're not doing three

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:37.719
<v Speaker 1>point shooting reform, you're eliminating three point shooting, reforming it

0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to be something else. You're saying it's gone. That's the

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:44.640
<v Speaker 1>situation we find ourselves in here with the filibuster, because

0:52:44.680 --> 0:52:50.400
<v Speaker 1>it's the only procedural, real procedural hurdle to Democrats enacting

0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:53.200
<v Speaker 1>exactly the agenda they want with no one able to

0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:59.000
<v Speaker 1>even a little bit stand in their way. And here

0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:01.920
<v Speaker 1>is Tom Cotton on this play nine. There's something to

0:53:01.960 --> 0:53:06.319
<v Speaker 1>be said for compromise and bipartisanship and respect for the

0:53:06.440 --> 0:53:08.880
<v Speaker 1>rights of the minority in the Senate. These rules have

0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:11.319
<v Speaker 1>been in place since the beginning of our republic, and

0:53:11.320 --> 0:53:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats are engaged in pretty highly situational ethics. You know,

0:53:14.200 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>just four years ago, twenty seven Democrats still in the

0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Senate wrote a letter urging Mitch mcconullin Chuck Schumer to

0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:22.359
<v Speaker 1>maintain these rules. Now, most of those senators have flip

0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:26.560
<v Speaker 1>blops simply because they have the barest of majorities. Republicans

0:53:26.560 --> 0:53:29.440
<v Speaker 1>refuse to change those rules four years ago because we

0:53:29.480 --> 0:53:32.520
<v Speaker 1>respect these traditions in the Senate and we know they've

0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:38.080
<v Speaker 1>helped forge durable bipartisan consensus legislation. Yep, that's how the

0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Democrats play this. That's what they do. That's the way

0:53:42.680 --> 0:53:46.319
<v Speaker 1>this is going to go. And you know this right,

0:53:46.680 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 1>remember Frank Herbert. When I am weaker than you, I

0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:51.160
<v Speaker 1>ask for freedom because that is according to your principles.

0:53:51.160 --> 0:53:52.879
<v Speaker 1>When I am stronger than you, I take away your

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:55.200
<v Speaker 1>freedom because that is according to my principles. The Frank

0:53:55.239 --> 0:54:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Herbert quote. That is if you want you know one

0:54:01.120 --> 0:54:07.200
<v Speaker 1>sentence explanation of the modern Democrat party, that's it. There

0:54:07.280 --> 0:54:09.000
<v Speaker 1>is no principle that can stand in the way. There

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:11.560
<v Speaker 1>is nothing that will stop them from doing what they

0:54:11.600 --> 0:54:16.000
<v Speaker 1>want to do when it comes to institutions, when it

0:54:16.000 --> 0:54:19.719
<v Speaker 1>comes to fairness, nothing like that. It's just do they

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:22.360
<v Speaker 1>have the ability, Do they have the raw exercise of

0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:26.879
<v Speaker 1>power at their disposal. If the answer is yes, that

0:54:27.000 --> 0:54:31.240
<v Speaker 1>is what they will do. And this is all about

0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:33.520
<v Speaker 1>getting to that place for them. This is all about

0:54:33.560 --> 0:54:37.440
<v Speaker 1>putting themselves in that circumstance, that situation where no one's

0:54:37.520 --> 0:54:42.160
<v Speaker 1>really able, no one's really able to tell them that

0:54:42.200 --> 0:54:44.480
<v Speaker 1>they can't or to stop them. Forget about telling them

0:54:44.520 --> 0:54:48.399
<v Speaker 1>to stop them from enacting things like amnesty, things like

0:54:48.760 --> 0:54:52.439
<v Speaker 1>some crazy climate change reform or a trillion dollar infrastructure

0:54:52.480 --> 0:54:56.319
<v Speaker 1>bill or HR one. These would all be things that

0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:58.239
<v Speaker 1>if they get through, they would have massive impact on

0:54:58.320 --> 0:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the country, and beyond that might prevent Republicans from actually

0:55:03.000 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 1>being able to win elections in the future. This is

0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:09.040
<v Speaker 1>what's at stake. And you know, there's a part of

0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:11.000
<v Speaker 1>me that that looks around and says, where are the

0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Republicans on all this, who's making the counter case here,

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:18.640
<v Speaker 1>who's fighting back effectively against us. I'm not saying there's

0:55:18.640 --> 0:55:23.520
<v Speaker 1>nobody who's doing it, but not a lot of feelings

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of optimism right now from within the GOP ranks about

0:55:26.120 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 1>how to stop this stuff. And I think that that's

0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that sense of dread about the policies that are coming

0:55:33.560 --> 0:55:37.160
<v Speaker 1>is somewhat warranted. So we got to wake up America.

0:55:37.200 --> 0:55:39.239
<v Speaker 1>We gotta get ready for this stuff. You know that

0:55:39.280 --> 0:55:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a huge part of the way the left is going

0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to continue to argue about the border is just about racism, right,

0:55:45.600 --> 0:55:48.080
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what They're going to really turn this into

0:55:48.080 --> 0:55:52.080
<v Speaker 1>a discussion about racism because the actual functions of border

0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:55.680
<v Speaker 1>patrol and immigrations and customs enforcement, what's happening on our

0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:59.640
<v Speaker 1>border is not allowed to be considered or not allowed

0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to be taught about openly and honestly. So they're going

0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to try to create a feeling of fear around the

0:56:06.680 --> 0:56:10.200
<v Speaker 1>general public. If you oppose this, if you think what's

0:56:10.200 --> 0:56:12.000
<v Speaker 1>going on in the border is a problem in any way,

0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you're racist. It's intellectually dishonest, it's not true, but it's

0:56:17.000 --> 0:56:21.680
<v Speaker 1>very effective. It's a very effective means of making people

0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:24.439
<v Speaker 1>get back in line on this. It's it's a way

0:56:24.480 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>of shutting down open and honest conversation about what's really

0:56:28.280 --> 0:56:31.840
<v Speaker 1>happening at the southern border. And it's it's a reminder

0:56:31.880 --> 0:56:34.800
<v Speaker 1>too that anything that you say about this stuff online,

0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 1>anything that anybody is saying, they want you to be

0:56:37.520 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 1>worried about it, and I mean this for you too.

0:56:39.719 --> 0:56:42.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, the cancel culture is not limited to people

0:56:42.960 --> 0:56:45.480
<v Speaker 1>like me who are in the public eye and do

0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:49.719
<v Speaker 1>commentary and share their opinions for a living income, after anybody,

0:56:50.040 --> 0:56:53.799
<v Speaker 1>and the websites that you go to, the places that

0:56:54.280 --> 0:56:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you're sharing your thoughts online, all this leaves a digital footprint,

0:56:59.320 --> 0:57:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and you never know what's going to happen in the

0:57:01.120 --> 0:57:04.080
<v Speaker 1>future with these big tech companies that may decide that

0:57:04.160 --> 0:57:06.160
<v Speaker 1>this information. First of all, it could just end up

0:57:06.200 --> 0:57:10.000
<v Speaker 1>getting released publicly. There's hacks that can happen. But do

0:57:10.040 --> 0:57:14.399
<v Speaker 1>you trust Google and Facebook and Twitter to have all

0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:16.600
<v Speaker 1>this data on you? Why give it to them for free?

0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:21.120
<v Speaker 1>You can anonymize your connection and serve the Internet freely

0:57:21.440 --> 0:57:23.480

0:57:23.480 --> 0:57:25.960
<v Speaker 1>search history or your viewing habits, and you know the

0:57:25.960 --> 0:57:28.120
<v Speaker 1>possible cancelation that can come along with it. You know,

0:57:28.160 --> 0:57:31.040
<v Speaker 1>too many NRA dot com visits or something, and all

0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden you find yourself in trouble. Right you

0:57:32.720 --> 0:57:35.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to deal with that. There's never been a

0:57:35.560 --> 0:57:38.960

<v Speaker 1>got Senator Marsha Blackburne joining us now from the great

0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:35.960
<v Speaker 1>state of Tennessee. She was just down at our southern border.

0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Senator blackburn thanks for being with us. I am absolutely

0:58:39.320 --> 0:58:43.000
<v Speaker 1>delighted to join you and so pleased to kind of

0:58:43.280 --> 0:58:45.400
<v Speaker 1>give you some of the details that we saw on

0:58:45.440 --> 0:58:48.959
<v Speaker 1>the border, because you know, the Biden administration just isn't

0:58:49.040 --> 0:58:52.200
<v Speaker 1>letting out any of the facts and figures on this well,

0:58:52.200 --> 0:58:53.880
<v Speaker 1>we just want to give the floor to you to

0:58:53.960 --> 0:58:56.640
<v Speaker 1>tell us some of the observation, some of the ground

0:58:56.640 --> 0:58:59.720
<v Speaker 1>truth you picked up. We know there's a crisis. We

0:58:59.800 --> 0:59:03.120
<v Speaker 1>know the numbers are very large of those coming across

0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the border and being helping the facilities. Beyond that, there

0:59:06.240 --> 0:59:08.920
<v Speaker 1>seems to be a lot of dispute as to more

0:59:08.920 --> 0:59:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of the specifics of the processing and the fact. So

0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:14.000
<v Speaker 1>tell us what you actually saw firsthand. Well, one of

0:59:14.040 --> 0:59:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the things that we saw firstand is that the cartels

0:59:17.320 --> 0:59:22.360
<v Speaker 1>have become very sophisticated. And I think it is important

0:59:22.400 --> 0:59:26.640
<v Speaker 1>for everyone to realize these are not individuals just on

0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:30.600
<v Speaker 1>their own picking up and saying we are heading to

0:59:31.480 --> 0:59:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the USA. These are individuals who are contracting with a

0:59:38.240 --> 0:59:42.680
<v Speaker 1>coyote who's a part of a cartel. The cartel then

0:59:42.800 --> 0:59:47.480
<v Speaker 1>charges a fee. As these individuals begin to make their

0:59:48.240 --> 0:59:53.080
<v Speaker 1>they are issued cartel issue clothing, you know, like we

0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:59.840
<v Speaker 1>our military issues clothing or a business issues a certain

1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>clothing items. The cartel has backpacks and carpet shoes and

1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature that they are issuing to these

1:00:09.480 --> 1:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>migrants that are trying to come in illegally. Now they

1:00:14.240 --> 1:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>also have to wear a band on their wrists, like

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you know when you go to a concert and they

1:00:20.480 --> 1:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>banned you to show that you have paid and you

1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have certain access. Well, the cartels will band these migrants

1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to show that they have paid their fee or that

1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>they are going to have to work out their fee

1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>once they get to America, and that is where you

1:00:41.160 --> 1:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>get these labor gangs and sex trafficking rings and gangs

1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:52.959
<v Speaker 1>by basically this indentured servitude that they are practicing. And

1:00:53.320 --> 1:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>yesterday when we were down in Panell County with Sheriff Lamb,

1:00:58.560 --> 1:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Mark Lamb, we had the opportunity to go out and

1:01:02.280 --> 1:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of walk that track where you have a reservation

1:01:07.840 --> 1:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that fronts the Mexican side and then on the north

1:01:12.600 --> 1:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>fronts the US territory, and that reservation straddles the border,

1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and what you have the migrants doing. The cartels will

1:01:25.680 --> 1:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>bring these individuals through those reservations and then they walk

1:01:30.520 --> 1:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the way up to getting to the

1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:38.479
<v Speaker 1>point that they can pop on I eight or ten

1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and then take off. The other thing that has started

1:01:44.680 --> 1:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>to happen is that you have El Chapos cartel which

1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>is basically running the Arizona border. You know, yeah, the

1:01:55.680 --> 1:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>similar cartel, and they are in charge of Arizona well

1:02:02.200 --> 1:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent of all the street drugs that are coming

1:02:06.040 --> 1:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>in the country are run by El Chopos cartel through Arizona,

1:02:13.400 --> 1:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and I eight and I ten have basically become the

1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Fentnyl Freeway this year because the use of fentnyl and

1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>meth is up so drastically. They even have started. The

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>cartels have a concoction that they have some of the

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>migrants to drink, and it's a liquid that has meth

1:02:39.200 --> 1:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and heroin in it. And this is kind of how

1:02:42.360 --> 1:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>they kind of, I guess, keep them motivated or awake

1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>or alert or something to make this journey. So these

1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>are some of the things that we saw first ten

1:02:57.200 --> 1:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>we also had the opportunity down in Coachy's County with

1:03:01.200 --> 1:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff Danals to walk along the border wall, and I

1:03:06.320 --> 1:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>have to tell you it is this is where you

1:03:09.600 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>can see how we have an environmental crisis, a humanitarian crisis,

1:03:15.520 --> 1:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a drug crisis. Because they've already cut the roads into

1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the mountain side, they've already trenched out to finish this

1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>border wall, and of course the Biden administration said halt

1:03:28.360 --> 1:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>everything immediately, no further work at all, period, full stop,

1:03:34.600 --> 1:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and the equipment and Also, the border wall components are

1:03:42.400 --> 1:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>all sitting there in the yard in Coaches County waiting

1:03:48.040 --> 1:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to be used. And now what is going to happen

1:03:51.080 --> 1:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>if they don't get the rock laid, the concrete laid,

1:03:55.560 --> 1:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>finished some of this before you get to the monsoon,

1:04:00.440 --> 1:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you are going to have a great, big miss is

1:04:04.000 --> 1:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be an environmental disaster as well. And there

1:04:09.920 --> 1:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>are just gaping holes in the wall, if you will

1:04:14.040 --> 1:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that where there is work that is needing to be finished.

1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>We're speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. She was

1:04:21.640 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>just down at the border and Senator Blackburn, there's already

1:04:25.480 --> 1:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>some reporting about, let's just say, a lack of transparency

1:04:31.320 --> 1:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>for the actual facilities where these migrants who are crossing

1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in the country illegally are being held. You're a United

1:04:37.720 --> 1:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>States senator. One would think that you would you would

1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>be able to get transparency and access into these facilities.

1:04:44.400 --> 1:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>What can you tell us about that? I mean, is

1:04:46.360 --> 1:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>there an effort to prevent people from being able to

1:04:48.480 --> 1:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>see what's going on? I think that there is an effort.

1:04:52.640 --> 1:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, you know, when the local sheriffs are saying, hey,

1:04:57.120 --> 1:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>come on down here, we're going to show you exactly

1:05:00.120 --> 1:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>leave what is going on, and we're going to give

1:05:03.120 --> 1:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you a full picture of what is happening because the

1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>federal government won't do it. What we do know is

1:05:11.200 --> 1:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that ICE is not showing up at some of these

1:05:13.880 --> 1:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>county jails in order to pick these migrants up, and

1:05:19.440 --> 1:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>they're leaving it to the sheriffs to tend to this.

1:05:23.400 --> 1:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>We know that the sheriffs are saying and the ranchers

1:05:27.040 --> 1:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and the property owners are saying, hey, look, you know

1:05:31.720 --> 1:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we have them on our property. I talked to a

1:05:34.920 --> 1:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>lady who said, you know, they had walked out and

1:05:38.840 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>there was a backpack. You know, people can identify these

1:05:42.200 --> 1:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>things because, as I said, it's cartel issued clothing. So

1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>they see a backpack from one of the migrants, it's

1:05:50.200 --> 1:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>in the backyard, and they have small children in their family.

1:05:55.360 --> 1:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Another one said, you know, we have them try to

1:05:58.520 --> 1:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>transit through our rant. It prohibits us from doing some

1:06:03.240 --> 1:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of the ranch work that we would like to do.

1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>People have to be careful about locking up all of

1:06:09.400 --> 1:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>their vehicles, all of their tools. These are American citizens

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and their property rights are being so infringed, and the

1:06:20.440 --> 1:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>federal government is not showing up to help. You have

1:06:24.000 --> 1:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>these local counties where taxpayers are footing the bill for

1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this local taxpayers because the federal government

1:06:33.440 --> 1:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>does not show up to pick up those migrant criminal

1:06:39.000 --> 1:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>illegal aliens that should be being held. And by the way,

1:06:44.360 --> 1:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you have all of these sheriffs that will tell you,

1:06:46.680 --> 1:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>and you have border patrol, which are you know, God

1:06:50.600 --> 1:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>love them. They're just working their fingers to the bone

1:06:54.120 --> 1:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>down there, and they will tell you. Look, you know,

1:06:58.920 --> 1:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>we have people from all over the world. The word

1:07:02.720 --> 1:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>is out, the border is open. If you're going to come, now,

1:07:06.120 --> 1:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it's the time to come, Senator Blackburn, if we'll let

1:07:09.240 --> 1:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you go, we're speaking Senator Blackburn of Tennessee for everybody

1:07:12.560 --> 1:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>joining us. Do you see this getting any better? It

1:07:15.760 --> 1:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>seems as though the Biden administration's focus on this is

1:07:19.600 --> 1:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to make the process more streamline for those who cross

1:07:23.320 --> 1:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>over and to add extra capacity. But that doesn't seem

1:07:26.960 --> 1:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>likely to stop the flow. Oh, no, that is going

1:07:30.760 --> 1:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to increase the flow. You are exactly right about that.

1:07:35.800 --> 1:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>It is if they start adding capacity, what does it

1:07:39.240 --> 1:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>do It increases the flow because what you're doing is

1:07:44.080 --> 1:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>emboldening the cartels. And by the way, cartels are big business.

1:07:50.280 --> 1:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>They make more money off of trafficking humans than they

1:07:53.480 --> 1:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>do drugs right now. And the labor thangs, the gangs,

1:08:00.720 --> 1:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the MS thirteen gangs, the sex trafficking. These are people

1:08:05.760 --> 1:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>from all over the globe that are coming. So this

1:08:09.680 --> 1:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>is one we have to secure this border. It's fine.

1:08:12.200 --> 1:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>The Biden administration really needs to get their act together

1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>on this. This is about keeping the American people safe.

1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:25.599
<v Speaker 1>When somebody's coming in this country illegally, we don't know

1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:28.639
<v Speaker 1>what kind of biologics they're bringing, what kind of weapons

1:08:28.680 --> 1:08:32.599
<v Speaker 1>they're bringing, what drugs they are bringing, or if they're

1:08:32.680 --> 1:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>COVID positive. We don't have answers to any of those questions.

1:08:39.000 --> 1:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Senator Marsha Blackburne of Tennessee, always appreciate you joining a senator.

1:08:43.320 --> 1:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for your time. Good talking to you.

1:08:45.520 --> 1:08:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Take care. There's this thing happening in the Republican Party

1:08:48.400 --> 1:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>right now where I feel like they're trying to outraceist

1:08:51.680 --> 1:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>one another. And then they claim when people criticize those

1:08:55.760 --> 1:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>comments that they're being canceled, you know, into crime, cancel culture,

1:09:00.000 --> 1:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and then they fundraise off of it. It's this weird

1:09:02.080 --> 1:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>cycle of saying the racist thing, denying the thing you

1:09:05.280 --> 1:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>said is racist, and then fundraising off of that when

1:09:07.880 --> 1:09:10.479
<v Speaker 1>you're criticized by everyone else. And I think everybody heard

1:09:10.479 --> 1:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>what he said, We know what he means, we know

1:09:12.120 --> 1:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>what that expression comes from. And I find it ghastly

1:09:16.400 --> 1:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that he would invoke that at a hearing when they

1:09:20.280 --> 1:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we're talking that day about anti Asian hatred and the

1:09:23.960 --> 1:09:27.639
<v Speaker 1>fact that eight people were killed this week because of

1:09:28.000 --> 1:09:32.639
<v Speaker 1>potentially white supremacy and white supremacist violence. And so that's

1:09:32.680 --> 1:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the issue. The issue is not an expression from Texas

1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:41.479
<v Speaker 1>in which you invoke lynching. Oh gosh, here we have

1:09:41.640 --> 1:09:47.639
<v Speaker 1>again more, it's it's white supremacist violence in Atlanta. Even

1:09:47.680 --> 1:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>though we've gone over the day day is that the

1:09:50.280 --> 1:09:52.479
<v Speaker 1>information that we have is that it is not, in fact,

1:09:53.160 --> 1:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>was not motivated by white supremacist violence. White supremacy is

1:09:59.160 --> 1:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>being If you watch MSNBC, if you are an avid

1:10:02.960 --> 1:10:06.439
<v Speaker 1>CNN watcher, this is you would think the biggest problem

1:10:06.439 --> 1:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>in America, worst than COVID, I mean, the worst thing

1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>in America today, the most dangerous, lethal, and frightening thing

1:10:16.960 --> 1:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that we deal with in this country is if you

1:10:18.760 --> 1:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>watch MSNBC, CNN, read The New York Times, it is

1:10:21.320 --> 1:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy remarkable, And you'd have to wonder as well,

1:10:25.960 --> 1:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>is the country so much more racist now than it

1:10:30.880 --> 1:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>was twenty years ago when white supremacy as a term

1:10:35.040 --> 1:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>was reserved for actual white supremacists. What's really changed the

1:10:39.760 --> 1:10:42.599
<v Speaker 1>way they describe America on the left or the actual

1:10:42.840 --> 1:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the actual situation in this country? Have we gotten much

1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:50.519
<v Speaker 1>more racist? Is that really their belief? I'd be very

1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>curious to hear how that makes any sense. But you

1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>should just be prepared for a future in which the argument, increasingly,

1:10:58.120 --> 1:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>especially around the immigration, becomes an argument about race and

1:11:01.760 --> 1:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>racism from the left perspective. That's what they'll do. That's

1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the likely place that they will take it because they

1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>feel very comfortable, They feel very powerful in that part

1:11:13.160 --> 1:11:17.639
<v Speaker 1>of the discussion. You know, lecturing anybody who's on the

1:11:17.760 --> 1:11:21.439
<v Speaker 1>right of American politics about race is so easy and

1:11:21.720 --> 1:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>puts people who are a Republican, doesn't matter what your

1:11:24.880 --> 1:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>racist is a Republican if you're in the part of

1:11:26.600 --> 1:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the GOP, if you're a conservative, you're on the defensive

1:11:29.400 --> 1:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the moment the issue of racism comes up. That's the

1:11:31.640 --> 1:11:33.719
<v Speaker 1>way that this has all been set up. That's the game,

1:11:34.520 --> 1:11:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and you can be prepared for a lot more of

1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:42.639
<v Speaker 1>that kind of discussion. Here here is ilhan Omar talking

1:11:42.640 --> 1:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>about the border searche play eleven. It means understanding that

1:11:47.280 --> 1:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>searches happen. And you know, this, this conversation around the

1:11:52.920 --> 1:11:57.080
<v Speaker 1>hysteria that is happening with the Republicans right now is

1:11:57.120 --> 1:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>centered around, you know, the eating political points. It's not

1:12:01.720 --> 1:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>about the safety of Americans. It's not about adhering to

1:12:07.240 --> 1:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>international law and allowing people to seek asylum. It's not

1:12:11.160 --> 1:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>about coming to the table and working with us UM

1:12:14.520 --> 1:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>in regards to immigration policy. Because if any of those

1:12:18.920 --> 1:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>things were true, you would hear hysteria from them in

1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>regards to the northern border. You would hear hysteria from

1:12:25.720 --> 1:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>them around you know, folks who become undocumented because they

1:12:29.439 --> 1:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>overstay their visas. And so it shows you really that

1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>this this conversation, it's about maligning and you know, I

1:12:40.400 --> 1:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>think creating a tortuous space that often becomes dangerous and

1:12:46.400 --> 1:12:50.639
<v Speaker 1>violent for those that are the least fortunate in our

1:12:50.720 --> 1:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>immigration population. The northern border. I mean, that's really the

1:12:56.400 --> 1:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>argument here, that we're supposed to worry about the northern border.

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if we had one hundred thousand people a

1:13:02.160 --> 1:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>month crossing into the country from Canada, and they were

1:13:06.760 --> 1:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>coming from all over the world. I can assure a

1:13:08.800 --> 1:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>representative OMAR that that would also get a lot of attention.

1:13:13.360 --> 1:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>And I can assure representative of OMAR that there are

1:13:16.760 --> 1:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>people who really do believe that this is a rule

1:13:19.400 --> 1:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>of law issue, and that you know, if you're a

1:13:23.880 --> 1:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>bad person for wanting to stand up for our immigration

1:13:28.479 --> 1:13:30.599
<v Speaker 1>system and for the laws around it, and I want

1:13:30.640 --> 1:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>actually stand up for it. I know there are problems

1:13:32.280 --> 1:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with it everything else, but just having an immigration system

1:13:34.920 --> 1:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>instead of laws about who can come here and when,

1:13:37.240 --> 1:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>how they can stay, and how long they can stay

1:13:38.840 --> 1:13:43.639
<v Speaker 1>and everything else, if you're a bad person for being

1:13:43.720 --> 1:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>upset when those laws are broken or thinking that that's

1:13:47.160 --> 1:13:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a problem. Why do we have immigration laws? I mean,

1:13:51.040 --> 1:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you have to really get into the underlying mentality here,

1:13:56.320 --> 1:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and in the moment you do that, you recognize these

1:13:58.840 --> 1:14:05.519
<v Speaker 1>democrats or just nuts, well, actually they're doing exactly what

1:14:05.560 --> 1:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>they think is most likely to benefit their political power

1:14:08.640 --> 1:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and give them the most benefits. So in a sense

1:14:11.760 --> 1:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>it makes perfect sense. I get what they're doing. I'm

1:14:14.920 --> 1:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>not surprised by any this. In fact, you know I

1:14:18.600 --> 1:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>wrote a book about, you know, in advance before the pandemic,

1:14:22.200 --> 1:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the Socialism Survival Guide, and I wrote it for Stansbury Research.

1:14:26.080 --> 1:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>And in the book, I said, you know, open borders,

1:14:29.360 --> 1:14:32.439
<v Speaker 1>sovereignty is for suckers. That was the title of my

1:14:32.520 --> 1:14:36.439
<v Speaker 1>immigration chapter. I wrote that in twenty nineteen. We're seeing

1:14:36.520 --> 1:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly that play out right now. This is what the

1:14:41.040 --> 1:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Democrats want. They're getting what they want. The problem for

1:14:44.120 --> 1:14:46.680
<v Speaker 1>them is just that the American people are figuring it

1:14:46.720 --> 1:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>out sooner than the Democrats anticipated and seeing it for

1:14:51.080 --> 1:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>what it really is. That's what upsets them. Our buddy

1:14:53.880 --> 1:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Gerderski back with us now. He is a writer,

1:14:58.280 --> 1:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>political analyst. He's the author of They're Not Listening How

1:15:02.200 --> 1:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the Elites Created a Populist Revolution. Mister Kurdski, good to

1:15:05.640 --> 1:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>have you. Let's start with this. I want to get

1:15:07.400 --> 1:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you on something that caught at least the attention of

1:15:09.960 --> 1:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>conservatives over the weekend, Christinome. Whenever I talk about how

1:15:14.720 --> 1:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Ronda Santists has done an amazing job, rohnds sand has

1:15:17.800 --> 1:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>done a great job in Florida, I got all these

1:15:20.080 --> 1:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>people that say, what about Christinome right away? And what

1:15:23.280 --> 1:15:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I want to say to them, is well, I mean

1:15:25.680 --> 1:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>she's the governor of South Dakota, which you know has

1:15:28.760 --> 1:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the population of San Jose, California, and has a population

1:15:33.520 --> 1:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>density of like Inner Mongolia or something. Right. I mean,

1:15:37.320 --> 1:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's a little bit of a different

1:15:39.280 --> 1:15:43.719
<v Speaker 1>situation than Rhonda Santists with Miami and Tampa and Orlando,

1:15:43.840 --> 1:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you got the list. You know it's

1:15:46.280 --> 1:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a different situation. And yet now we see she

1:15:50.800 --> 1:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>won't sign. She was all excited to sign a ban

1:15:54.600 --> 1:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on transgender males in female sports, but she's sending it

1:16:00.640 --> 1:16:02.439
<v Speaker 1>back now all of a sudden. I'm seeing people say

1:16:02.439 --> 1:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>this is just because she's caving to pressure groups. What

1:16:04.800 --> 1:16:07.639
<v Speaker 1>are you seeing? No, this is one hundred percent because

1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>she's caving. I mean, one of the biggest opponents of

1:16:10.200 --> 1:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>this bill is one of her biggest donors in the

1:16:12.760 --> 1:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Chamber of Commerce, Christine nom Here's theme of Christime. I

1:16:15.360 --> 1:16:18.639
<v Speaker 1>get it. She's beautiful, she's articulate. We want a woman,

1:16:18.720 --> 1:16:21.559
<v Speaker 1>we want to diversify the party. It's not her. It's

1:16:21.600 --> 1:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>just not her. She's not gonna be the one to

1:16:23.479 --> 1:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>sit there and do it. She was a she was

1:16:25.800 --> 1:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a moderate House member she's a moderate governor. Yea, she

1:16:29.880 --> 1:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>handled the COVID shut down fine, but that is not

1:16:33.040 --> 1:16:34.519
<v Speaker 1>enough to sit there and say, oh, you should be

1:16:34.520 --> 1:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a future presidential Candida, especially being the governor of South Dakota,

1:16:40.320 --> 1:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the states that is one of the least

1:16:42.520 --> 1:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>impactful when it comes to electoral college. No, she's this

1:16:48.200 --> 1:16:51.280
<v Speaker 1>is this is totally typical of her. And listen, here's

1:16:51.280 --> 1:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>what Republicans have to reconcile with the Chamber of Commerce,

1:16:54.280 --> 1:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>big business. They are four two of the biggest things

1:16:56.720 --> 1:16:59.839
<v Speaker 1>that we were against right now, critical race theory in government,

1:17:00.000 --> 1:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in business, and there for transgender girls playing boys trenches

1:17:05.000 --> 1:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>or boys rather playing girls sports. They are one hundred

1:17:08.320 --> 1:17:11.519
<v Speaker 1>percent for both of those things. So any conversation that

1:17:11.560 --> 1:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we are going to have to sit there and roll

1:17:13.040 --> 1:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>back those or use government force to roll those things back,

1:17:15.880 --> 1:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it has to come at the expense of the donor class.

1:17:18.040 --> 1:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Christian Noman is not going to be that person. She's

1:17:19.840 --> 1:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>immensely weak on that issue. And she's a total total

1:17:23.080 --> 1:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>swamp preacher. I don't caram tell me, she says there

1:17:25.200 --> 1:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and says in Maca. She's a total swamp preacher. When

1:17:27.320 --> 1:17:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you think of her, you should just basically think of

1:17:29.000 --> 1:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>lish Chaney. Wow, Liz Cheney, but a little different. But

1:17:33.920 --> 1:17:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Liz Chaney, okay, with blue with nicer eyes. I mean,

1:17:37.680 --> 1:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that's basically the same exact thing. She's not. She's note

1:17:40.840 --> 1:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>there's no difference on real hardcore policy whatever. She was

1:17:43.840 --> 1:17:46.599
<v Speaker 1>the first governor when Trump said I'm gonna like governors

1:17:46.640 --> 1:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>decide if they want refugees or not refugees, she was

1:17:49.200 --> 1:17:50.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the first governors to say, no, let's have

1:17:51.040 --> 1:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Somemalis come to South Dakota. She is she's not good

1:17:54.280 --> 1:17:56.439
<v Speaker 1>on policy. She never has been going on policy. We

1:17:56.479 --> 1:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't expect to be going on policy. She shouldn't be

1:17:58.840 --> 1:18:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on a presidential ticket. I get it. She's a beautiful,

1:18:01.160 --> 1:18:03.479
<v Speaker 1>articular woman. That is not enough to make you somebody

1:18:03.720 --> 1:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>we should be, you know, praising to Santez. I can

1:18:06.760 --> 1:18:08.920
<v Speaker 1>name fifteen good issues top of my head that he's

1:18:08.920 --> 1:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>been great on. Now let's let's actually get your your

1:18:12.200 --> 1:18:15.520
<v Speaker 1>take on the the me since we're bringing up to Santis.

1:18:15.560 --> 1:18:19.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, over the weekend, there was this spring break

1:18:19.360 --> 1:18:21.519
<v Speaker 1>thing in South Beach. I mean, a spring break is

1:18:21.520 --> 1:18:24.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously for a general, but there's a there's a spring

1:18:24.160 --> 1:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>break celebration in South Beach, and they were saying in

1:18:26.840 --> 1:18:29.360
<v Speaker 1>some of the outlets, I saw, oh, there's a COVID

1:18:29.400 --> 1:18:32.840
<v Speaker 1>curfew going into effect. My two brothers live in South

1:18:32.880 --> 1:18:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Beach right now. Okay, I've got two brothers on the

1:18:34.720 --> 1:18:37.639
<v Speaker 1>ground in South Beach. They said it was absolute madness

1:18:37.680 --> 1:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>on the streets, violence, chaos, fights breaking out, you know,

1:18:42.160 --> 1:18:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and everyone was very aware that this was completely out

1:18:44.360 --> 1:18:47.559
<v Speaker 1>of control. Had nothing to do with COVID policy, right,

1:18:47.600 --> 1:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>And if they had Black Lives Matter sign, no one

1:18:50.000 --> 1:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>would have cared. Only difference that they were. They were

1:18:52.760 --> 1:18:54.640
<v Speaker 1>missing a Black Lives Matter sign while they were doing

1:18:54.680 --> 1:18:56.880
<v Speaker 1>all those things. If they had, If they did have

1:18:57.000 --> 1:18:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that though, the media would not care whatsoever. Listen they

1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>are the media is absolutely doing any possibly can to

1:19:02.880 --> 1:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>make sure Ron de Sands is not the president in

1:19:04.640 --> 1:19:08.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four. Um, they know that he's an immensely

1:19:08.160 --> 1:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>popular governor of a state large enough to be its

1:19:10.800 --> 1:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>own country. That the shutdown, that Democrat politicians in safe

1:19:15.960 --> 1:19:19.160
<v Speaker 1>democratic states like New York and California are facing tough

1:19:19.200 --> 1:19:22.920
<v Speaker 1>reelection battles like they ever should have, and Desanders should

1:19:22.920 --> 1:19:25.519
<v Speaker 1>be the one, um, you know, having to having to

1:19:25.560 --> 1:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>fight for his life. But he's not. And they know

1:19:28.040 --> 1:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that because everything they've they've prescribed over the last year

1:19:32.040 --> 1:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>plus because of COVID has been an utter failure. De

1:19:34.720 --> 1:19:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Sants has become a hero to the to the to

1:19:36.880 --> 1:19:39.479
<v Speaker 1>the right wing of the party, not just over lockdowns,

1:19:39.479 --> 1:19:41.479
<v Speaker 1>but over a million other issues. As I said, so

1:19:41.520 --> 1:19:44.920
<v Speaker 1>they're highlighting is like a bunch of like black teenagers

1:19:44.920 --> 1:19:48.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty year olds fighting in Miami. I mean, seriously,

1:19:48.720 --> 1:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>if we if we look at what the violence was

1:19:51.240 --> 1:19:56.200
<v Speaker 1>like in Portland or in Minneapolis or anywhere else, or

1:19:56.360 --> 1:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the events happening in Washington, DC in Shune last June,

1:20:00.280 --> 1:20:03.240
<v Speaker 1>where it was Black Lives Matter activists not wearing masks,

1:20:03.320 --> 1:20:06.959
<v Speaker 1>dancing to like the Cupid Shuffle on the street, thousands

1:20:06.960 --> 1:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of them not wearing masks and doing all those things

1:20:09.640 --> 1:20:12.439
<v Speaker 1>leading up to violence. The media did not sit there

1:20:12.479 --> 1:20:16.439
<v Speaker 1>and say the mayor Bowser should resign. You know, they said,

1:20:16.439 --> 1:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>this is you know, people are feeling their their their

1:20:19.439 --> 1:20:21.720
<v Speaker 1>moment right now. Please give me a break. I mean

1:20:21.920 --> 1:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>that's why. Yeah, it was a bunch of teenagers or

1:20:24.280 --> 1:20:26.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty year olds, probably a lot of them drunk, doing

1:20:26.680 --> 1:20:29.559
<v Speaker 1>stupid things. It's nothing to do with the governor, the governor.

1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:31.479
<v Speaker 1>It was not like the governor was there saying, you know,

1:20:32.160 --> 1:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone chug a keg, I mean everyone needs to relax.

1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:38.439
<v Speaker 1>Speaking to Ryan Grdusky, he's the author of They're Not

1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Listening and a political analyst and writer. Ryan, Now let's

1:20:42.360 --> 1:20:45.479
<v Speaker 1>talking about immigration because I'm I'm feeling like people aren't

1:20:45.479 --> 1:20:48.680
<v Speaker 1>really getting the message that the Democrats are not that

1:20:48.720 --> 1:20:53.440
<v Speaker 1>they're not aligned on the fundamental issue here of stopping

1:20:53.600 --> 1:20:57.320
<v Speaker 1>this policy from allowing people to gain the immigration system.

1:20:57.600 --> 1:21:00.439
<v Speaker 1>They just don't like the optics of overcrowded facilities and

1:21:00.600 --> 1:21:03.879
<v Speaker 1>people uh doing this in a way where it's obvious

1:21:03.920 --> 1:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. They have It seems to be the

1:21:05.880 --> 1:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrats just want to make this less obvious. And to

1:21:07.960 --> 1:21:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the Chamber of Commerce, which you brought up before, there

1:21:11.400 --> 1:21:13.559
<v Speaker 1>are a Republican and there are there are you know,

1:21:13.720 --> 1:21:17.519
<v Speaker 1>swamp interests that do want to see this continue. I

1:21:17.560 --> 1:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>think people have this assumption that like it's a crisis,

1:21:20.320 --> 1:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, we all wanted to be dealt with the

1:21:21.720 --> 1:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>same way. There are a lot of people that would say, oh, well,

1:21:23.880 --> 1:21:26.479
<v Speaker 1>do we have enough enough beds and enough facilities for

1:21:26.479 --> 1:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody who's coming. Well, then the crisis is over. Sure,

1:21:28.840 --> 1:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>we're just processing people now. The most indicative thing was

1:21:31.840 --> 1:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>that there was two votes for an amnesty. Last week.

1:21:35.120 --> 1:21:40.640
<v Speaker 1>You had you had thirty Republicans join join every Democrat

1:21:40.720 --> 1:21:44.880
<v Speaker 1>for a farm workers amnesty, which was explicitly created to

1:21:45.160 --> 1:21:49.360
<v Speaker 1>not punish businesses that hired illegal labor, to explicitly make

1:21:49.360 --> 1:21:51.880
<v Speaker 1>sure that wages were depressed in the farm ministry, and

1:21:51.920 --> 1:21:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that they never had to recognize this is this is outrageous.

1:21:55.840 --> 1:21:57.360
<v Speaker 1>And then there was another bill on the dock, a

1:21:57.439 --> 1:22:00.360
<v Speaker 1>dream amnesty, which had nine Republicans join us. So I

1:22:00.400 --> 1:22:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think that and Senator Rick Scott, who is the head

1:22:03.000 --> 1:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of the NRSC has been floating, he's been asking other

1:22:05.280 --> 1:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>senators to join a legalization bill for illegal aliens. No,

1:22:08.840 --> 1:22:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that they do get it at all. Um,

1:22:11.920 --> 1:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they don't think they understood, you know,

1:22:13.920 --> 1:22:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the most Republican elective donors in the base whatsoever. But

1:22:17.240 --> 1:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats they're not. This is not a question of

1:22:20.080 --> 1:22:23.080
<v Speaker 1>two sides trying to figure out a humanitarian way to

1:22:23.120 --> 1:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>deal with a crisis and tom and to you know,

1:22:27.400 --> 1:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>protect the border. This is one side that is literally

1:22:30.240 --> 1:22:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like we shouldn't have a border anyone who gets gets

1:22:33.880 --> 1:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>into America should become should be allowed to live here,

1:22:36.320 --> 1:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>They should be allowed to vote here because they vote

1:22:39.000 --> 1:22:42.840
<v Speaker 1>seventy thirty Democrat. You know, as I saw this over

1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:45.439
<v Speaker 1>and over and over again in twenty sixteen, Trump won

1:22:45.560 --> 1:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a plurality of the vote with people who vote who

1:22:48.000 --> 1:22:50.360
<v Speaker 1>were born in America where he lost the boat were

1:22:50.400 --> 1:22:53.599
<v Speaker 1>born born people. They know it's a countdown to how

1:22:53.880 --> 1:22:55.600
<v Speaker 1>how long until it gets how many more people do

1:22:55.720 --> 1:22:59.919
<v Speaker 1>they get Arizona, permanent, Blue Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida,

1:23:00.320 --> 1:23:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's Democratic presidents the whole countributst California. They know

1:23:04.360 --> 1:23:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that is a countdown. That's why people like you know,

1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, you know, these were all people

1:23:12.720 --> 1:23:17.000
<v Speaker 1>who were against mass amnesty and mass immigration less than

1:23:17.040 --> 1:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago. Hillary Clinton used to be talking about,

1:23:19.680 --> 1:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders talked about it. They only change their opinion

1:23:23.920 --> 1:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>once they saw the vote totals and say, we can

1:23:25.840 --> 1:23:28.880
<v Speaker 1>make sure that we have the entire Southwest and southern

1:23:28.880 --> 1:23:32.000
<v Speaker 1>part of the United States Democrat forever, will have Democrat

1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>presidents from here on out. It's about power, and it's

1:23:34.800 --> 1:23:36.920
<v Speaker 1>about and also, by the way, they're all corporates too.

1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>They all have corporate donors or whatsoever. It's not like

1:23:39.080 --> 1:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>corporations only don't go into Republicans. They're all basically giving

1:23:41.880 --> 1:23:45.719
<v Speaker 1>to both parties. So they're feeding off their Democratic donors

1:23:45.760 --> 1:23:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and they know they can get the vote and get

1:23:47.960 --> 1:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it for long enough and they will whole power forever.

1:23:50.400 --> 1:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>One thing I think is fascinating, and we're speaking to

1:23:52.680 --> 1:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Gurdusky, a political writer and an analyst. Ryan, is

1:23:57.439 --> 1:24:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that the Mayorkas line on this, for example, what what

1:24:01.120 --> 1:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and the White House will have Jensak and others come forward,

1:24:04.280 --> 1:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and they keep saying the border is not open. We

1:24:08.000 --> 1:24:10.640
<v Speaker 1>turn people away. And I always want to ask, okay,

1:24:11.000 --> 1:24:13.599
<v Speaker 1>why do you turn people away? You know, in one

1:24:13.720 --> 1:24:16.719
<v Speaker 1>breath it's these are four year olds who are swimming

1:24:16.720 --> 1:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>across the Rio grand and we have an obligation and

1:24:19.360 --> 1:24:22.599
<v Speaker 1>a humanitarian But then when people see what's actually happening

1:24:22.640 --> 1:24:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in the facilities, the numbers of people, the Democrats turn

1:24:25.160 --> 1:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>around and say, oh no, but don't worry, we're actually

1:24:26.880 --> 1:24:30.400
<v Speaker 1>sending most people away. And it's well, first of all,

1:24:30.439 --> 1:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>what's the percentage? And second of all, based on the

1:24:32.840 --> 1:24:36.559
<v Speaker 1>way the Democrat party views this, why why do they

1:24:36.560 --> 1:24:38.759
<v Speaker 1>send that him? I mean, I know why. I believe

1:24:38.760 --> 1:24:40.400
<v Speaker 1>in rule of law. I believe that we have an

1:24:40.400 --> 1:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>immigration system that must be respected. They don't really believe

1:24:44.120 --> 1:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that though, So it seems to me like there's just

1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:48.439
<v Speaker 1>a disingenuous when they try to when they try to

1:24:48.439 --> 1:24:51.360
<v Speaker 1>calm the issue down by saying, oh, don't worry, we're

1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>still deporting people. Well, why why would Democrats do that

1:24:55.760 --> 1:24:57.360
<v Speaker 1>based on the logic of their position? Do you see

1:24:57.360 --> 1:24:59.559
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying? Well, you know, they are turning people

1:24:59.560 --> 1:25:04.599
<v Speaker 1>away on the under President Trump's Healthcare Act, the title

1:25:06.000 --> 1:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>forty two issue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's it's so.

1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:11.320
<v Speaker 1>But he what he did change was he's on two things.

1:25:11.400 --> 1:25:14.559
<v Speaker 1>One he's been saying, well, we'll take your children, so

1:25:14.760 --> 1:25:17.439
<v Speaker 1>you're you know, fifteen thousand kids per month is well

1:25:17.520 --> 1:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>respecting this month. So we'll take your children. Your children

1:25:21.240 --> 1:25:24.120
<v Speaker 1>have to wait and we'll reunite you eventually. And the

1:25:24.120 --> 1:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>other thing keeps saying is we'll stand by, stand by,

1:25:26.920 --> 1:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and we'll get to you. And he said a thout

1:25:28.840 --> 1:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the entire campaign he said it as president. Um he says,

1:25:31.960 --> 1:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>we're working on making the system more just. So it's

1:25:35.760 --> 1:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>just basically a waiting game because they know he's gonna

1:25:38.240 --> 1:25:40.120
<v Speaker 1>do it. And just I mean, it was this Sunday

1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that ABC reporter or Martha Rodd Raddits talked to one

1:25:43.760 --> 1:25:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of the migrants and said, did you come here because

1:25:46.360 --> 1:25:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Biden is president? He said yes, I wouldn't have come

1:25:48.600 --> 1:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>under Trump. It is an attitude thing when they perceive

1:25:52.160 --> 1:25:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and trust in the coyotes and the human smugglers, tell

1:25:55.160 --> 1:25:57.880
<v Speaker 1>them this president is going to be easy on you.

1:25:57.880 --> 1:26:01.120
<v Speaker 1>You can get in and you know, you know. At

1:26:01.120 --> 1:26:04.360
<v Speaker 1>this point, it's just two things baff on my mind. One,

1:26:04.760 --> 1:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why. I don't understand the optics, and

1:26:07.920 --> 1:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't store they have been hit harder that Democrat

1:26:10.880 --> 1:26:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that this Democratic president made American troops reserve as sleep

1:26:14.479 --> 1:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>on a concrete cold floor in a parking lot in WASHINGTONDC.

1:26:18.479 --> 1:26:21.759
<v Speaker 1>But he's paying eighty six million dollars to a month

1:26:21.880 --> 1:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>just that they're in house illegal aliens and hotels. And

1:26:25.120 --> 1:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>then the other thing I understand is who keeps paying

1:26:27.360 --> 1:26:31.479
<v Speaker 1>for these Biden twenty twenty t shirts that these migrants

1:26:31.479 --> 1:26:34.400
<v Speaker 1>are wearing. I just I would love to know how

1:26:34.439 --> 1:26:37.280
<v Speaker 1>all these migroups are wearing Biden t shirts. I mean,

1:26:37.520 --> 1:26:39.840
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't the Biden campaign shipping me is off to

1:26:40.200 --> 1:26:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the Central America. So those two things sit there and

1:26:44.120 --> 1:26:47.080
<v Speaker 1>question my mind. But fundamentally they don't view I mean

1:26:47.400 --> 1:26:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Polosis said that, you know, illegal aliens are like

1:26:50.280 --> 1:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>the founding Fathers. They don't view these people in any

1:26:54.760 --> 1:26:57.160
<v Speaker 1>context where they are breaking the wall. They don't believe

1:26:57.160 --> 1:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>this is a lot. That's what I meant to get

1:26:58.720 --> 1:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to though, about why they're turning people away. They don't

1:27:01.280 --> 1:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>really think they should have to turn people away. They

1:27:03.520 --> 1:27:06.280
<v Speaker 1>just say this. I mean, the Democrat mindset to the

1:27:06.280 --> 1:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Party believes that immigrants there is only positive from

1:27:11.040 --> 1:27:13.959
<v Speaker 1>taking an immigrants, if you speak, they're better than Americans

1:27:13.960 --> 1:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>in every way, Yeah, they're better than Americans. And if

1:27:16.120 --> 1:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you have any problem with people crossing into the country illegally,

1:27:19.240 --> 1:27:23.160
<v Speaker 1>any problem with overwhelming assimilation in this country, with taking

1:27:23.400 --> 1:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we're already taken a million a year. I legally we're

1:27:25.200 --> 1:27:27.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna take now you know, maybe a half a million

1:27:27.400 --> 1:27:29.080
<v Speaker 1>through this process of the border. Who knows what the

1:27:29.160 --> 1:27:31.920
<v Speaker 1>number is actually going to be. And if you have

1:27:31.960 --> 1:27:36.280
<v Speaker 1>any problem that you're a bad person illegally. Yeah, now,

1:27:36.320 --> 1:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it'll be It'll be unbelievable, the high numbers because of

1:27:42.240 --> 1:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>what Biden has done in his administration, and they just

1:27:45.280 --> 1:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>they don't have Mimericas is completely incapable of handling this situation.

1:27:49.880 --> 1:27:56.439
<v Speaker 1>And you're seeing a splintering of both Democrats on the

1:27:56.479 --> 1:28:00.919
<v Speaker 1>border Gonzala representatives Gonzalez Andeculiar who are this a crisis?

1:28:01.160 --> 1:28:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mansion is now calling this a crisis. They realize

1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:09.360
<v Speaker 1>these numbers. Immigration, the oh predictive polster. It was a

1:28:09.360 --> 1:28:12.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty good poster for the state of Arizona. Immigration is

1:28:12.080 --> 1:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>now the number one issue in Arizona, not COVID, not jobs. Immigration.

1:28:16.920 --> 1:28:18.880
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be and it's gonna be very, very,

1:28:19.040 --> 1:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>very bad for Demiraia. I was gonna say, is this

1:28:20.800 --> 1:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna cost them in the mid terms? Your estimation rusby

1:28:23.040 --> 1:28:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Ryan gr Dusky political analysts ahead, Ryan, They're gonna lose

1:28:25.920 --> 1:28:28.439
<v Speaker 1>the House one hundred percent. I don't see any which way.

1:28:28.560 --> 1:28:30.160
<v Speaker 1>The only way that they can hope that the House

1:28:30.320 --> 1:28:33.559
<v Speaker 1>managed to change is if the Pennsylvania Supreme Court gets

1:28:33.600 --> 1:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>involved to jerry mander Pennsylvania for the Democrats. But and

1:28:37.479 --> 1:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and and they jerry mander in New York. But other

1:28:40.360 --> 1:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>than that they're losing the House. I mean, it's just

1:28:43.640 --> 1:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it's all but guaranteed for the Democrats at this point.

1:28:46.760 --> 1:28:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Their numbers are so bad. Uh, it's you know, the

1:28:50.080 --> 1:28:52.760
<v Speaker 1>first mid term of a presidential cycle, it's always bad

1:28:52.800 --> 1:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>for them. But on immigration, it's going to be a

1:28:54.600 --> 1:28:57.719
<v Speaker 1>complete disaster. And what Americans don't like is they don't

1:28:57.800 --> 1:29:01.040
<v Speaker 1>like when you when you're for critical on the laws

1:29:01.080 --> 1:29:04.519
<v Speaker 1>you passed the fact that Americans kids still cannot go

1:29:04.560 --> 1:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to school because the New York the New York, but

1:29:07.120 --> 1:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the public teachers unions across the country, including New York,

1:29:10.160 --> 1:29:13.479
<v Speaker 1>they still cannot go to school. But illegal alien migrant

1:29:13.560 --> 1:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>children they get to go to school. They get to

1:29:16.200 --> 1:29:20.360
<v Speaker 1>go in person schooling. So they just they cannot live

1:29:20.360 --> 1:29:23.160
<v Speaker 1>with a hypocrisy of this administration. I hope they pay

1:29:23.200 --> 1:29:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a big price for this one. But we'll see Ryan

1:29:25.400 --> 1:29:28.360
<v Speaker 1>or dusk everybody. Ryan, thanks so much for joining man.

1:29:28.400 --> 1:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Great to have you. Thank you so to the extent

1:29:31.280 --> 1:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that we can help solve some of the problems at home.

1:29:35.320 --> 1:29:40.559
<v Speaker 1>And instead of canceling that investment, which the Trump administration canceled,

1:29:40.600 --> 1:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the investment that we had to do just that. I

1:29:44.680 --> 1:29:48.360
<v Speaker 1>wish you could see the impact of what USAID can

1:29:48.400 --> 1:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>do to help children in those countries. So that is

1:29:52.120 --> 1:29:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to back up again and say that Biden administration has

1:29:57.920 --> 1:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>this under control. It will take its change, and it'll

1:30:03.120 --> 1:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>take some time, but it is values based, humanitarian and

1:30:08.439 --> 1:30:12.759
<v Speaker 1>its aspects pragmatic and how with a plan to get

1:30:12.800 --> 1:30:18.040
<v Speaker 1>things done and not just a diversionary tactic on the

1:30:18.080 --> 1:30:20.919
<v Speaker 1>part of the Republicans because they are bankrupt of ideas

1:30:20.960 --> 1:30:23.519
<v Speaker 1>on how to improve the lives of American people. They

1:30:23.600 --> 1:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>run to the border. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi here folks telling you, oh,

1:30:27.200 --> 1:30:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it's all gonna be fine, just you know, give it time,

1:30:30.160 --> 1:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and something mutter muttered, Yeah, y's you know what I

1:30:34.360 --> 1:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>really care about as the children. You know, Nancy always

1:30:38.360 --> 1:30:43.479
<v Speaker 1>always finds their way to talk about the children. You know,

1:30:43.720 --> 1:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>this is I've never heard a politician that, when she

1:30:46.439 --> 1:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a good argument, is faster to make it

1:30:48.720 --> 1:30:52.880
<v Speaker 1>about how she really just wants to help the children. Sure, yeah, Nancy,

1:30:53.040 --> 1:30:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Nancy cares a whole whole heck of a lot. They've

1:30:55.600 --> 1:30:57.840
<v Speaker 1>created a terrible situation in the border. We can all

1:30:57.840 --> 1:31:00.559
<v Speaker 1>see it, we all know what's going on, and yet

1:31:01.000 --> 1:31:03.519
<v Speaker 1>what are we actually figuring out about all of this.

1:31:03.600 --> 1:31:05.720
<v Speaker 1>What are we actually learning about all of this? It's

1:31:05.760 --> 1:31:08.519
<v Speaker 1>only going to get worse, it's not going to get better.

1:31:09.439 --> 1:31:11.559
<v Speaker 1>How is it going to get better when their their

1:31:11.720 --> 1:31:15.439
<v Speaker 1>goal is to make the process easier and more comfortable

1:31:15.439 --> 1:31:18.600
<v Speaker 1>for the migrants who were crossing, and to make it

1:31:18.680 --> 1:31:21.919
<v Speaker 1>so that they're more likely to be in a comfortable,

1:31:22.160 --> 1:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>more a better facility. I mean, they're spending eighty million

1:31:24.439 --> 1:31:27.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars on they're spending eighty million dollars to taking it.

1:31:27.080 --> 1:31:30.439
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of money to put migrants in hotels,

1:31:31.360 --> 1:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>in hotels that that's where we are now. Show up

1:31:36.320 --> 1:31:39.479
<v Speaker 1>in America, break, you know, come in illegally, try to

1:31:39.520 --> 1:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>game the system. We'll put you up in a hotel

1:31:41.560 --> 1:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll let you go and do whatever you

1:31:43.200 --> 1:31:46.280
<v Speaker 1>want to do. That's the Democrat version of having this

1:31:46.320 --> 1:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>issue in hand. And you can't ignore the politics of us.

1:31:50.400 --> 1:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't ignore what this is going to mean over

1:31:52.040 --> 1:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>long term. If if foreign born people voted more frequently

1:31:57.439 --> 1:32:00.880
<v Speaker 1>for Republicans and Democrats, Nancy Pelos would be standing at

1:32:00.880 --> 1:32:04.479
<v Speaker 1>the border waving, waving border patrol after people saying, you know,

1:32:04.520 --> 1:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>go get him, arrest him. You know, if foreign born

1:32:07.240 --> 1:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>individuals in general who come into the country illegally were

1:32:12.600 --> 1:32:16.839
<v Speaker 1>not inclined, especially after an amnesty, to vote in favor

1:32:17.360 --> 1:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of Democrats, they would have a very different view of

1:32:19.960 --> 1:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>this situation. We all know it. I mean, you think

1:32:23.320 --> 1:32:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi really cares about what's going on in Central America.

1:32:27.320 --> 1:32:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi doesn't care about what's going on in you know,

1:32:30.120 --> 1:32:33.720
<v Speaker 1>poor parts of Oakland, not far from her district, right,

1:32:33.800 --> 1:32:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi lives in a mansion, and it's all about

1:32:37.040 --> 1:32:40.280
<v Speaker 1>her and her power. And you know she's not. She's

1:32:40.280 --> 1:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>not some really kind, thoughtful person that wants to help

1:32:43.439 --> 1:32:46.479
<v Speaker 1>all the impoverished masses of the world because she's so

1:32:46.520 --> 1:32:52.479
<v Speaker 1>sweet and loving. It's because it consolidates her power. The

1:32:52.640 --> 1:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call

1:33:00.160 --> 1:33:05.800

1:33:11.400 --> 1:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>big week weekend, I guess in the world of sports.

1:33:15.280 --> 1:33:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious, more curious if you haven't even a clue

1:33:18.320 --> 1:33:25.440
<v Speaker 1>what event is going on? Yeah, it's the Spring Olympics, obviously.

1:33:26.280 --> 1:33:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean kind of march madness. Maybe you've heard of it.

1:33:29.840 --> 1:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, yes, yes, March madness. That's a thing. That's

1:33:33.160 --> 1:33:36.479
<v Speaker 1>a thing. So that was Rutgers doing. By the way,

1:33:36.920 --> 1:33:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Rutgers lost less night in heartbreaking fashion. Actually, they had

1:33:41.439 --> 1:33:43.519
<v Speaker 1>a chance to go to the Sweet sixteen. I don't

1:33:43.520 --> 1:33:44.920
<v Speaker 1>know if the first time ever, the first time in

1:33:44.960 --> 1:33:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a long time. They were up late and then ended

1:33:47.840 --> 1:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>up losing and it was a heartbreaker for sure. Yeah,

1:33:52.479 --> 1:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot of upsets. Is fifteen seed. Oral

1:33:55.400 --> 1:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Roberts is in the Sweet sixteen. Oral Roberts is a college. Yeah,

1:34:00.320 --> 1:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>they thought it was a tooth I thought it was

1:34:01.600 --> 1:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a toothpaste. Yes, that's what everyone says as well. And

1:34:04.760 --> 1:34:08.200
<v Speaker 1>there they'll be facing Arkansas in the next round, which

1:34:08.200 --> 1:34:12.479
<v Speaker 1>is funny. Oral robertson Arkansas. M you know Bill Clinton's

1:34:12.520 --> 1:34:17.240
<v Speaker 1>home mm hmm okay, I got, I got yeah, alright, alright, alright,

1:34:17.360 --> 1:34:19.680
<v Speaker 1>produce some mocks. Settled down. I figured I would make

1:34:19.680 --> 1:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a political joke. Yeah, I so I tried to get

1:34:24.200 --> 1:34:27.639
<v Speaker 1>the snow the snow Princess, and I watched and uh,

1:34:27.680 --> 1:34:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's I was. I was in charge of

1:34:29.720 --> 1:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Tolula this weekend again. She toulu is actually with me

1:34:31.960 --> 1:34:35.200
<v Speaker 1>now the French bulldog. For anybody who doesn't know, Debrah

1:34:35.280 --> 1:34:38.240
<v Speaker 1>is the girlfriend to Lula is the French bulldog. And

1:34:38.240 --> 1:34:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and we tried to watch a new show. It was

1:34:40.280 --> 1:34:44.559
<v Speaker 1>called zero zero zero on Amazon. It's okay, we're kind

1:34:44.600 --> 1:34:46.519
<v Speaker 1>of getting it. But but she she was it was

1:34:46.560 --> 1:34:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a little intense. It's like drug cartels, a lot of violence,

1:34:49.720 --> 1:34:51.519
<v Speaker 1>so she wanted to switch. I said, all right, so

1:34:51.560 --> 1:34:55.120
<v Speaker 1>let's just find something we can both watch. And of course,

1:34:55.160 --> 1:34:58.960
<v Speaker 1>because you know, a happy snow princess, happy life. I

1:34:59.120 --> 1:35:03.160
<v Speaker 1>we find some movie on It was on Netflix, and

1:35:03.200 --> 1:35:05.800
<v Speaker 1>it has one of the women from Sex in the

1:35:05.840 --> 1:35:08.439
<v Speaker 1>City in it. And I can't really explain it other

1:35:08.479 --> 1:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>than it's kind of a thriller about a really pretty

1:35:13.200 --> 1:35:18.360
<v Speaker 1>babysitter who's like twenty, who is kind of crazy and

1:35:18.600 --> 1:35:22.519
<v Speaker 1>like has a split personality thing. Anyway, and we watched

1:35:22.520 --> 1:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>this thing, and I will tell you it got It

1:35:25.120 --> 1:35:27.280
<v Speaker 1>started out like it was a gonna be that bad.

1:35:27.360 --> 1:35:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I just wanted to lie on the couch, you know,

1:35:29.520 --> 1:35:32.120
<v Speaker 1>drink my tea, be with the girlfriend and the French

1:35:32.160 --> 1:35:34.559
<v Speaker 1>bulldog and be happy. I didn't really care where we're

1:35:34.560 --> 1:35:37.320
<v Speaker 1>watching and this wasn't her choice, but this was We

1:35:37.400 --> 1:35:39.439
<v Speaker 1>tried to find that sweet spot for what a guy

1:35:39.439 --> 1:35:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and a gal could watch together. And I figured, all right,

1:35:41.760 --> 1:35:44.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, well this this will have to do. And

1:35:44.960 --> 1:35:48.280
<v Speaker 1>we turned this thing on and people, remember, people paid

1:35:48.320 --> 1:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>money for this. Okay, it's called Oh my gosh, I

1:35:51.200 --> 1:35:55.040
<v Speaker 1>can't I can't even remember what this thing is called.

1:35:55.360 --> 1:35:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Um you know what I've got a while we're here,

1:35:58.920 --> 1:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got to look it up. It's Kristin Davis from

1:36:03.000 --> 1:36:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Sex in the City. And it's so so deadly illusions,

1:36:11.280 --> 1:36:14.760
<v Speaker 1>deadly illusions. It's called Producer Mark. I'm not it is

1:36:14.800 --> 1:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>so bad. It is so so bad. I mean, just

1:36:19.000 --> 1:36:22.599
<v Speaker 1>from your description, I'm wondering why you even chose it. Well,

1:36:22.640 --> 1:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, it looked like a thriller, and

1:36:25.080 --> 1:36:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you know it wasn't gonna be. I mean, at one

1:36:27.800 --> 1:36:31.479
<v Speaker 1>point they actually they do the voiceover thing kind of

1:36:31.520 --> 1:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>where they make her voice sound all distorted and scary

1:36:34.080 --> 1:36:36.759
<v Speaker 1>when she's going crazy. It's but it was great because

1:36:36.840 --> 1:36:38.679
<v Speaker 1>it got to that point. The reason I'm talking about

1:36:38.680 --> 1:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it got to that point as a movie where

1:36:41.200 --> 1:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>it was so bad that I was actually laughing out loud.

1:36:44.040 --> 1:36:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Like it. It jumped the shark to the point where

1:36:46.400 --> 1:36:48.519
<v Speaker 1>it became hilarious. Toward the end, You're like, this is

1:36:48.560 --> 1:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the worst thing I've ever seen, Like this is now

1:36:51.560 --> 1:36:54.879
<v Speaker 1>it's like a bunch of bad you know, college actors

1:36:54.960 --> 1:36:56.960
<v Speaker 1>or something got together to make a whole movie. Or

1:36:57.000 --> 1:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just so bad so and it's on a It

1:36:59.439 --> 1:37:01.639
<v Speaker 1>was on Netflix. I'm sure they probably you know, spend

1:37:01.640 --> 1:37:03.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty million dollars to make this piece of trash. It

1:37:04.000 --> 1:37:09.400
<v Speaker 1>was a Netflix original. Yeah, wow, mm hmm. They're they're

1:37:09.479 --> 1:37:11.920
<v Speaker 1>very hit or miss with the Netflix, very hit or miss,

1:37:12.800 --> 1:37:15.080
<v Speaker 1>very hit or miss. There's so much somebody likes it.

1:37:15.120 --> 1:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>There's gotta be somebody out there that enjoyed that movie. Well,

1:37:18.160 --> 1:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of ladies will just watch it

1:37:20.040 --> 1:37:23.240
<v Speaker 1>for the Sex and the City lady Kristin Davis, because

1:37:23.240 --> 1:37:26.160
<v Speaker 1>she has quite a following from from that show. Um,

1:37:26.360 --> 1:37:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and she's a bit you know, she's probably in her

1:37:27.800 --> 1:37:30.559
<v Speaker 1>fifties now, she's a little bit older than she was

1:37:30.560 --> 1:37:33.200
<v Speaker 1>back in the Sex and the City days. Um, some

1:37:33.280 --> 1:37:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of the gentlemen watching this would probably like them. She's

1:37:38.000 --> 1:37:40.519
<v Speaker 1>playing college age, but she you know, like twenty I

1:37:40.520 --> 1:37:42.599
<v Speaker 1>think she says or twenty one. She is in the show,

1:37:42.640 --> 1:37:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he's probably like twenty seven or something.

1:37:45.720 --> 1:37:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Some of the dudes out there might enjoy that aspect

1:37:49.439 --> 1:37:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of the movie because she is um. You know, people

1:37:52.920 --> 1:37:56.640
<v Speaker 1>might pize. Some people would think I'm not saying me obviously,

1:37:56.800 --> 1:37:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I only have eyes for one, but some people may

1:37:59.760 --> 1:38:04.600
<v Speaker 1>think that she's esthetically pleasing so of some of the

1:38:04.640 --> 1:38:07.080
<v Speaker 1>guys out there. So I'm just saying it didn't seem

1:38:07.120 --> 1:38:08.880
<v Speaker 1>like it was gonna be one of the world. I mean,

1:38:09.240 --> 1:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, I

1:38:11.240 --> 1:38:12.960
<v Speaker 1>will say that, but it was so bad that it

1:38:13.000 --> 1:38:17.160
<v Speaker 1>was funny. It's bad in the way that leperkn five

1:38:17.439 --> 1:38:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Leperkon in the Hood is bad. For those who are wondering,

1:38:20.280 --> 1:38:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a real movie. By the way, the LEPrecon actually

1:38:23.880 --> 1:38:26.799
<v Speaker 1>at one point is in a hip hop club smoking

1:38:27.000 --> 1:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a I believe, smoking a blunt in the bathroom. That's

1:38:29.760 --> 1:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a thing that happens. I mean, it's a really bad movie,

1:38:33.000 --> 1:38:37.320
<v Speaker 1>but you know, sometimes sometimes so bad it's good, is

1:38:37.360 --> 1:38:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the thing. That's all I'm trying to say. Is it

1:38:39.280 --> 1:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>like Jack and Jill bad? What is that? Oh? The

1:38:42.040 --> 1:38:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Adam Sandler movie where he plays his own twin sister.

1:38:45.680 --> 1:38:50.000
<v Speaker 1>M No, but Adam Adam Sandler, you know when from

1:38:50.360 --> 1:38:53.760
<v Speaker 1>went from greatness in the comedy world too. There are

1:38:53.800 --> 1:38:55.600
<v Speaker 1>movies that I think even he would admit that he

1:38:55.680 --> 1:39:00.240
<v Speaker 1>wished that he could probably erase from existence. I think

1:39:00.240 --> 1:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that's a real thing. Some of them are really, really,

1:39:03.680 --> 1:39:07.400
<v Speaker 1>really bad. I try to just remember the one from that, Yeah,

1:39:07.400 --> 1:39:09.840
<v Speaker 1>just You're just the best one of all time? Is

1:39:11.479 --> 1:39:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Adam Sendler movie? What is it? I don't know how

1:39:14.320 --> 1:39:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I choose here. I'm always a partial, a big daddy

1:39:17.720 --> 1:39:19.680
<v Speaker 1>because I love that. When I was a kid, I

1:39:19.800 --> 1:39:23.080
<v Speaker 1>go Happy Gilmore. That's a solid choice. I could say

1:39:23.080 --> 1:39:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the water Boils. I really love that one, Like I

1:39:25.920 --> 1:39:28.479
<v Speaker 1>feel like, the most quotable, the most outrageous, the one

1:39:28.520 --> 1:39:30.920
<v Speaker 1>that really sticks in your mind the most, you know,

1:39:31.080 --> 1:39:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean it had Bob Barker for having sakes. Is

1:39:33.479 --> 1:39:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Happy Gilmore and that big guy who's like, and I'll

1:39:37.479 --> 1:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>see you in the parking lot. Remember that? Yeah, so

1:40:47.439 --> 1:40:50.519
<v Speaker 1>and I think if you the more people. Our issue

1:40:50.640 --> 1:40:53.080
<v Speaker 1>is not do people like this show. Our issue is

1:40:53.080 --> 1:40:55.240
<v Speaker 1>just getting more and more people to know about this

1:40:55.320 --> 1:40:58.360
<v Speaker 1>show across the country because then this becomes their show.

1:40:58.960 --> 1:41:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't. But I don't have a five million dollars

1:41:01.479 --> 1:41:03.400
<v Speaker 1>or even a one million dollar marketing But I have

1:41:03.439 --> 1:41:05.519
<v Speaker 1>no marketing budget. I mean, I just do a show.

1:41:06.200 --> 1:41:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So we do a show and people spread the word

1:41:09.040 --> 1:41:11.640
<v Speaker 1>about it. And what the reason we keep growing is

1:41:11.640 --> 1:41:13.639
<v Speaker 1>because our ratings in every market we're in, our ratings

1:41:13.680 --> 1:41:16.400
<v Speaker 1>are really strong. People listen, right, and we thank all

1:41:16.400 --> 1:41:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of our affiliates for carrying the show, and also everybody

1:41:21.400 --> 1:41:24.280
<v Speaker 1>who's listening on digital, whether it's in the iHeartRadio app

1:41:24.520 --> 1:41:29.439
<v Speaker 1>or to the podcast. So Richard, right, I enjoy the

1:41:29.439 --> 1:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>show every day, no exceptions. I utilize the podcast for convenience.

1:41:33.439 --> 1:41:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I listen in the early afternoons when I used to

1:41:35.760 --> 1:41:38.280
<v Speaker 1>listen to Rush. I encourage others to listen to pass

1:41:38.320 --> 1:41:41.479
<v Speaker 1>along the buck web page when I have the opportunity. Well, Richard,

1:41:41.520 --> 1:41:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that is so helpful and we really do appreciate it,

1:41:43.640 --> 1:41:45.760
<v Speaker 1>so thank you very much for that. I live in

1:41:45.760 --> 1:41:48.879
<v Speaker 1>the mountains of North Carolina, west of the Marxist enclave

1:41:48.960 --> 1:41:52.200
<v Speaker 1>known as Asheville. This is a conservative area in a

1:41:52.320 --> 1:41:56.080
<v Speaker 1>very purple state, a substantial arts scene, and more breweries

1:41:56.120 --> 1:41:59.200
<v Speaker 1>per capita than any location in the US, not far

1:41:59.280 --> 1:42:02.840
<v Speaker 1>from the National Mark and minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

1:42:03.240 --> 1:42:05.080
<v Speaker 1>If Team back wants to make a trip to this

1:42:05.160 --> 1:42:09.360
<v Speaker 1>version of God's Country, I can guarantee you great scenery, hiking, angling,

1:42:09.479 --> 1:42:13.559
<v Speaker 1>and good barbecue with relative anonymity. Definitely better than what

1:42:13.560 --> 1:42:16.759
<v Speaker 1>you've endured on the coast. Have you tried Brunswick stew

1:42:17.360 --> 1:42:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Some folks may recognize your voice, but even your great

1:42:20.240 --> 1:42:24.200
<v Speaker 1>hair will not disclose your identity. You should give hockey

1:42:24.280 --> 1:42:27.320
<v Speaker 1>viewing a try. Mark is correct. However, watch the Blackhawks,

1:42:27.400 --> 1:42:29.120
<v Speaker 1>not the New York teams. Keep up the good work,

1:42:29.439 --> 1:42:31.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, Mark to you first the Blackhawks. What's going

1:42:31.800 --> 1:42:35.320
<v Speaker 1>on here? I mean, Chicago was a dynasty for a while,

1:42:35.360 --> 1:42:37.600
<v Speaker 1>but they're in a bit of a rebuild. They're not

1:42:37.640 --> 1:42:40.800
<v Speaker 1>so good anymore. So okay, not the team, how big

1:42:40.800 --> 1:42:45.200
<v Speaker 1>it like like a Bulls, Lakers, Patriots kind of dynasty.

1:42:45.200 --> 1:42:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Are not quite there. I mean, hockey is so different

1:42:48.880 --> 1:42:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like you're never gonna get that dominant

1:42:51.040 --> 1:42:52.840
<v Speaker 1>team like you would in basketball that will win five

1:42:52.880 --> 1:42:55.719
<v Speaker 1>in a row, but you'll win three championships in seven years.

1:42:56.439 --> 1:42:59.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a hockey dynasty, fair enough? All right? Well that's

1:43:00.040 --> 1:43:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Richards by the way, I looked at did you see

1:43:02.080 --> 1:43:06.599
<v Speaker 1>what Yankees tickets are going for, like way way deep

1:43:06.800 --> 1:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>in you know, upper upper deck territory or whatever, because

1:43:11.240 --> 1:43:13.720
<v Speaker 1>of all the distancing and everything else. The tickets on

1:43:13.960 --> 1:43:15.720
<v Speaker 1>like four hundred dollars for like a bad for a

1:43:15.760 --> 1:43:17.800
<v Speaker 1>bad seat. Well, I'm guessing you're looking at like the

1:43:17.840 --> 1:43:21.320
<v Speaker 1>secondary market, not directly from the Yankees. Yeah, yeah, of course,

1:43:21.360 --> 1:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's only twenty percent capacity, right, So I'm just

1:43:25.040 --> 1:43:27.000
<v Speaker 1>saying it's yeah, yeah, no, I know, but I'm just

1:43:27.040 --> 1:43:29.640
<v Speaker 1>saying it. People they think they can get for it.

1:43:29.760 --> 1:43:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can sit, you know up where like

1:43:32.360 --> 1:43:34.320
<v Speaker 1>buzzards are going to be ten feet above your head,

1:43:34.360 --> 1:43:37.599
<v Speaker 1>like that part of the upper deck, and you're paying

1:43:37.600 --> 1:43:39.439
<v Speaker 1>four hundred dollars or something like that a ticket for

1:43:39.439 --> 1:43:41.559
<v Speaker 1>the Yankee stadium right now, which to me is just nuts.

1:43:41.840 --> 1:43:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I will wait until it's more affordable and bigger capacity

1:43:44.680 --> 1:43:46.800
<v Speaker 1>to go to a Mets game. I wouldn't I'm not

1:43:46.800 --> 1:43:48.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely not going to a Yankee game in the middle

1:43:48.400 --> 1:43:51.080
<v Speaker 1>of a pandemic. I definitely don't think you're gonna pay

1:43:51.080 --> 1:43:52.560
<v Speaker 1>four hundred dollars to go see a Yankee game in

1:43:52.560 --> 1:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the middle of pandemic. It's not worth it for me.

1:43:54.160 --> 1:43:56.599
<v Speaker 1>It'll reduce capacities to the yank What would what would

1:43:56.640 --> 1:43:58.600
<v Speaker 1>your New York Baseball Mets think about that? You know

1:43:58.640 --> 1:44:00.640
<v Speaker 1>they would be very sad. Exactly. Well, if I'm going

1:44:00.680 --> 1:44:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to spend money and take the time and you know,

1:44:03.200 --> 1:44:05.400
<v Speaker 1>go through all the process that is going to a

1:44:05.560 --> 1:44:07.600
<v Speaker 1>sporting event right now, I'm going to do it for

1:44:07.640 --> 1:44:10.439
<v Speaker 1>the Mets. Fair enough, and Richard, as for the Mountain

1:44:10.439 --> 1:44:13.479
<v Speaker 1>of North Carolina, sounds great, although interesting that you say

1:44:13.479 --> 1:44:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that Asheville is a Marxist enclave. I thought I thought

1:44:16.320 --> 1:44:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Asheville wouldn't be that left wing. But you know, what

1:44:19.320 --> 1:44:21.400
<v Speaker 1>do I know? Learning about this stuff all the time?

1:44:22.280 --> 1:44:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Mark not to be confused with producer Mark. First listening

1:44:24.800 --> 1:44:27.639
<v Speaker 1>out in Panama City after Hurricane Michael in twenty eighteen,

1:44:28.160 --> 1:44:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you seem to make a lot of sense talking about

1:44:29.840 --> 1:44:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian drone shootdown. Later, hearing you talking about your

1:44:33.880 --> 1:44:35.439
<v Speaker 1>time in Iraq, I knew we'd had some of the

1:44:35.479 --> 1:44:38.040
<v Speaker 1>same experiences. Anyway, you're doing the Lord's work fighting back

1:44:38.040 --> 1:44:41.960
<v Speaker 1>against COVID silliness. Silliness. You keep talking up Florida. How

1:44:42.000 --> 1:44:44.519
<v Speaker 1>about visiting Georgia sometime where I live now. It's going

1:44:44.560 --> 1:44:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to need a lot of work to keep it from

1:44:45.920 --> 1:44:49.120
<v Speaker 1>going blue. Our governor is quietly keeping the economy open

1:44:49.120 --> 1:44:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and running things fairly well. It's not going to go

1:44:51.880 --> 1:44:54.559
<v Speaker 1>well if it goes south. But no one's talking about this.

1:44:54.760 --> 1:44:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Love producer, Mark, and try listening to some Dua Lippa.

1:44:59.040 --> 1:45:03.519
<v Speaker 1>She's not bad. What does Dua Lippa Dua Lipa? Oh,

1:45:03.560 --> 1:45:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a current pop artists. Really, Yes, I had never

1:45:07.840 --> 1:45:12.559
<v Speaker 1>heard of that before. All right, so it's a female singer. Yeah, no,

1:45:12.720 --> 1:45:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I get that. I mean I figured that was probably

1:45:14.600 --> 1:45:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the case. But do you do you celebrate du Alipa's

1:45:18.520 --> 1:45:20.600
<v Speaker 1>whole catalog? Oh? I mean I know a couple of

1:45:20.640 --> 1:45:22.720
<v Speaker 1>her songs, but you know, I'm not really a fan

1:45:22.760 --> 1:45:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of anyone that's new and current. Yeah, that makes that

1:45:25.960 --> 1:45:30.880
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Um. And then as for Georgia, I always

1:45:30.880 --> 1:45:33.200
<v Speaker 1>tell you guys, I love Savannah. I think Savannah as

1:45:33.240 --> 1:45:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a gem of a of a town. That's really the

1:45:36.800 --> 1:45:39.960
<v Speaker 1>only place in Georgia I've been in recent years. I

1:45:40.080 --> 1:45:43.640
<v Speaker 1>haven't been to Georgia much. I was in Atlanta for

1:45:43.920 --> 1:45:49.519
<v Speaker 1>one night maybe four years ago, and barely got any

1:45:49.600 --> 1:45:52.559
<v Speaker 1>real Atlanta time in and then uh yeah, and then

1:45:52.600 --> 1:45:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I've had I've been to Savannah. I think I've been

1:45:55.640 --> 1:45:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to Savannah two or three times the last four years.

1:45:59.240 --> 1:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>So I really, I really do enjoy Savanna a lot though.

1:46:01.520 --> 1:46:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Great food, great people, such a pretty town. And I

1:46:05.720 --> 1:46:08.320
<v Speaker 1>like all the ghost story Laura and all that as well.

1:46:08.360 --> 1:46:12.479
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of fun. You know, Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans,

1:46:12.680 --> 1:46:16.559
<v Speaker 1>those are three of my favorite places in that part

1:46:16.640 --> 1:46:19.320
<v Speaker 1>of the Jed. I know that's covering a lot of territory,

1:46:19.400 --> 1:46:21.240
<v Speaker 1>but in that part of the country. So have you

1:46:21.280 --> 1:46:25.120
<v Speaker 1>ever been their producer, Mark? Those those places to Savannah, Georgia. No,

1:46:25.400 --> 1:46:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I have been to near Augusta, yeah, Georgia, but I

1:46:29.240 --> 1:46:33.040
<v Speaker 1>haven't been anywhere to Savannah. No. Yeah, here we already

1:46:33.040 --> 1:46:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a Gustia big hitter. The Llama flowing robes remember that. No, Yes, okay,

1:46:40.280 --> 1:46:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I get it. Yeah, I'm just saying, all right, Jim Bucker, producer, Mark,

1:46:45.479 --> 1:46:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I catch you on iHeartRadio on KFBX nine seventy and Fairbanks, Alaska.

1:46:50.720 --> 1:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Whoo up in Alaska, baby, that's how we like it.

1:46:54.160 --> 1:46:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You and Tucker Carlson are the two voices I go

1:46:56.160 --> 1:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to these days. I miss I missed the greatest of

1:46:59.000 --> 1:47:01.680
<v Speaker 1>all time, rogh. But you you carry the baton admirably

1:47:02.280 --> 1:47:06.679
<v Speaker 1>public speaking courses almost without fail. This scourage distracting filler

1:47:06.760 --> 1:47:10.879
<v Speaker 1>words like uh and um while speaking. It's becoming increasingly

1:47:10.920 --> 1:47:14.599
<v Speaker 1>difficult to listen to Saki's press conference when practically every

1:47:14.640 --> 1:47:17.640
<v Speaker 1>other word is uh and um. My impression is that

1:47:17.760 --> 1:47:19.439
<v Speaker 1>she's either lying or just making it up as she

1:47:19.520 --> 1:47:23.320
<v Speaker 1>goes rhetorically. How do people this an app get to

1:47:23.400 --> 1:47:27.639
<v Speaker 1>these positions? Shields high, Jim, I, and I don't say

1:47:27.680 --> 1:47:30.879
<v Speaker 1>this to be to be mean. I honestly don't understand

1:47:30.920 --> 1:47:34.120
<v Speaker 1>how Jen Saki is the White House Press secretary. U.

1:47:35.160 --> 1:47:36.880
<v Speaker 1>See I just didn't numb, but I but see that

1:47:37.040 --> 1:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was a I need to pause to think, Um, that

1:47:39.800 --> 1:47:42.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a filler word um quite the same way. I

1:47:42.400 --> 1:47:44.760
<v Speaker 1>really did have to um for a minute there. I

1:47:44.800 --> 1:47:46.559
<v Speaker 1>don't have an answer as to how she has that job.

1:47:46.760 --> 1:47:53.519
<v Speaker 1>It strikes me as strange that she's in that role.

1:47:54.080 --> 1:47:59.880
<v Speaker 1>She was the State Department spokeswoman before, so yeah, now

1:48:00.200 --> 1:48:03.960
<v Speaker 1>she's the White House White House Press secretary. So you know,

1:48:04.000 --> 1:48:05.519
<v Speaker 1>there was a really interesting article I saw of the

1:48:05.520 --> 1:48:07.240
<v Speaker 1>weekend about all the people that were in the Biden

1:48:07.280 --> 1:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean in the Obama administration, who now have become

1:48:12.680 --> 1:48:16.320
<v Speaker 1>really rich as a result of what they got. See,

1:48:16.400 --> 1:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I just did another Now I'm very aware of it,

1:48:18.240 --> 1:48:20.920
<v Speaker 1>as a result of what they got in terms of

1:48:21.240 --> 1:48:25.280
<v Speaker 1>corporate connections and board seats and speaker feeds and all

1:48:25.320 --> 1:48:27.880
<v Speaker 1>these things after being in the after being in the

1:48:27.920 --> 1:48:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Obama White House or tied to the Obama administration. So

1:48:31.520 --> 1:48:34.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a big it's big business, big money for folks.

1:48:35.160 --> 1:48:40.280
<v Speaker 1>That's Jensaki also went from almost no, according to this

1:48:40.400 --> 1:48:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the financial disclosures, almost no net assets, net worth. What's

1:48:44.160 --> 1:48:46.519
<v Speaker 1>it was something like fifty you know, thirty to fifty

1:48:46.840 --> 1:48:49.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty to one hundred grand in total assets, I think

1:48:49.200 --> 1:48:50.519
<v Speaker 1>is what she listed when she went to work at

1:48:50.560 --> 1:48:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the State Department. So and look, I've been there before.

1:48:53.320 --> 1:48:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I was. I remember being thirty years old. I think

1:48:55.160 --> 1:48:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I had like two grand in my name. But now

1:48:59.200 --> 1:49:01.960
<v Speaker 1>she's worth a few million dollars, I think. So I said, oh, okay,

1:49:02.520 --> 1:49:04.720
<v Speaker 1>that''s a good night, nice career move, go work at

1:49:04.760 --> 1:49:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the work at the White House. Chrissy writes, question, who's

1:49:07.880 --> 1:49:10.000
<v Speaker 1>really running the White House? What a mess? In sixty

1:49:10.080 --> 1:49:13.240
<v Speaker 1>days our country has become. This is brutal, especially when

1:49:13.280 --> 1:49:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Harris removes Biden Chrissy. I say it on bucksxton dot

1:49:16.880 --> 1:49:18.920
<v Speaker 1>com today, Go check it out. I mean, this is

1:49:18.960 --> 1:49:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the I Told you so part of the Biden presidency.

1:49:22.760 --> 1:49:24.760
<v Speaker 1>This is where we said, yeah, this is what's going

1:49:24.800 --> 1:49:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to happen. And it's happening as we said it would.

1:49:27.320 --> 1:49:30.880
<v Speaker 1>And the Democrats just don't care. They have their guy.

1:49:31.040 --> 1:49:33.960
<v Speaker 1>They think they're getting their way to them. That is

1:49:34.080 --> 1:49:38.120
<v Speaker 1>ultimately what matters. Everything else. Everything else really just feels

1:49:38.160 --> 1:49:40.240
<v Speaker 1>like noise to them. So I think we should all

1:49:40.320 --> 1:49:45.880
<v Speaker 1>be very clear eyed about that. And this is about power, folks,

1:49:45.960 --> 1:49:48.320
<v Speaker 1>this is about control. We're gonna have another great show

1:49:48.400 --> 1:49:50.360
<v Speaker 1>for you to barn every day this week until then

1:49:51.040 --> 1:49:51.599
