Is anybody surprised that Kamala Harris isn't doing 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: a great job fixing our border by vegan Central America? 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: That it's a debacle? Pretty much? Is this a shock 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: to anyone? What has ever shown people who are who 8 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: are fixed or who are fixing their attention on results 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: and ability? What has ever shown them any inclination whatsoever 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris to get the job done, To just 11 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: be Harris and have people push her along and vote 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: for her and elevate her. Yeah, sure she can do that, 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: But to actually get results that shows a skill set 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: that shows inability beyond playing the system. This shouldn't be 15 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: surprising at all. Right, it's not surprising. We'll get more 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: into this in a second.

Listen, I've been to the border before, 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: I will go again. But when I'm in Guatemala dealing 39 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: with root causes, I think we should have a conversation 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: about what's going on in Guatemala. What a disaster Kamala 41 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: Harris is here. What a disaster. Everyone knows it, everyone 42 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: sees it, and they're being reminded of what was so 43 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: apparent when she wanted to be the next president instead 44 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: of vice president, an appointed position president of the United States. 45 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: With even Democrat voters, this isn't a Republican thing. Democrat 46 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: voters were like, I don't like her. Seems very staged, 47 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: very fake, obviously, so and here she is acting like 48 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: everybody else is crazy. She's the borders are who will 49 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: not go to the US Mexico border, And she's laughing 50 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: whenever she's whenever she's challenged on this. It's pretty easy. 51 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: Why not just say, you know what, I'll go to 52 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: the border tomorrow. Stop asking me this question. I'll go 53 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: to the border tomorrow because she won't go. She won't 54 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: go because there will be a press corps that travels 55 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: with her and they will have to cover the disaster 56 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: and she will be photographed there. We all understand what's 57 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: going on here. This is not actually that complicated, but 58 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: she keeps making it worse because her answers are absurd. 59 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: It's nonsensical. I mean, here she is telling everybody with 60 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: no trace of irony here with zero self awareness. Vice 61 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: President Harris, who thinks she's soon to be president. Harris 62 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: is out there telling people listen to this play too. 63 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: I also believe that if you want to fix a problem, 64 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: you have to go to where the problem exists. If 65 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: you want to address the needs of a people, you 66 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: must meet those people. You must spend time with those people, 67 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: because the only way we can actually fix the problem 68 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: is to understand the problem. The problem is at our border. 69 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: But she doesn't seem to understand, maybe because she refuses 70 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: to go Here's she just telling you, if you want 71 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: to fix it, you have to go to where it is, 72 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: exactly Kamala, and you refuse to do that, and then 73 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: you lecture us as though you are doing that, which 74 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: makes everyone think, is she just obduse? Is there some 75 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: kind of a disconnect. It's as though she does not 76 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: understand what is so obvious to everybody else. But she's 77 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: upsetting pretty much all sides on this border trip. I'm 78 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: sorry on this immigration Central America talk about the US 79 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: border without going their trip, and some of them are 80 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: upset that she's even willing to say with The Democrats 81 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: have to pretend they believe which is that people shouldn't 82 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: come into the country illegally. So, I mean, here, here's 83 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: a here's a left wing media host on the View, 84 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: the dumbest talk show on television, Play seven. But I 85 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: was a little surprised at the clumsiness of her language 86 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: because she said, you know, don't come, don't come, and 87 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: she was, I think, referring to illegal passage into the 88 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: United States as opposed to seeking legal asylum, which is 89 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: what Alexandrio Cassio Cortes is talking about. And of course 90 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: this country was founded on immigration, founded on people coming 91 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: here legally and seeking asylum. But using those terms, so 92 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: those words don't come, don't come, I think is pretty inflammatory, 93 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: and I think that's why she's getting so much pushback 94 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: because because of those words. I mean, the Supreme Court 95 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: just ruled this week that people that come here illegally 96 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: and stay here for twenty years still can't apply for 97 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: a green cart because of the circumstances by which they 98 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: came to this country. And so, of course you shouldn't 99 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: come here illegally. But our vice president could have done 100 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: I think a better job in terms of her language. Yeah, 101 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: this is a legal analyst on the View Sonny Houston, 102 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: who seems to not understand immigration law. She notes at 103 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: the end that yes, you cannot apply for legal status 104 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: in this country if you came here illegally, even twenty 105 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: years ago. We know a lot of people that didn't 106 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: come twenty years ago. They came, you know now, a 107 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: year ago, two months ago now. But the part that 108 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: keeps getting left out and AOC and the other far 109 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: left propagandists don't want you to pay any attention to 110 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: is that the people showing up now at the border 111 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: who are being apprehended, they are all breaking the law. 112 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: They are doing what is the equivalent of trespassing on 113 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: US sovereign territory over an international border. They refuse to 114 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: go through the ports of entry. They don't want to 115 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: have to wait, so they just show up and they walk, 116 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: they literally walk into America and say here I am, 117 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: give me asylum. And they're not actually people that overwhelmingly 118 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: are worthy of asylum. This is just the reality. I 119 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: want to be an economic migrant, I want to have 120 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: better opportunities for jobs is not an asylum claim. Lying 121 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: to the border patrol, by the way, is also a crime. 122 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: So people who say I am fleeing political violence when 123 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: really they're actually looking for a better job or they 124 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: want to live with other family members who are already 125 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: in the US are also breaking the law. This is lawlessness, 126 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: and Democrats don't get to have it both ways. They 127 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: don't get to have the state drag people, you know, 128 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: by the scruff of the neck out of church for 129 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: failing to dumble mask like a bunch of morons. The 130 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: fact that we have to do that, the fact they 131 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: ever told this that isn't an embarrassing They should be 132 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves. Fauci, that little fascist the worst. But 133 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: they want the state to drag you out for that 134 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: because it's the law. It's really an executive order, but 135 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: it's the law. And on this issue, though, all of 136 00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, immigration laws just don't count. Doesn't really matter anymore. 137 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: And keep in mind, we have a de facto open border, 138 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: we have coyotes, the cartel's making huge sums of money 139 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: over this. It's just an unsustainably lawless, reckless situation. And 140 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: AOC the radical left of the Democrat Party, which is 141 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: increasingly calling all the shots, is out there complaining that 142 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: the Biden policies aren't humane enough. Play five. Well, I 143 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: think the issue here, and first of all, you know, 144 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: I think this is not just about the Vice president. 145 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: This is about the Biden Administration's immigration policy writ large 146 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: is not working. It's wrong, and it's inhumane. Why what 147 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: is inhumane about it? If AOC wants every Latin American, 148 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: or for that matter, developing country all over the world 149 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: migrant just be able to come to America, she should 150 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: be honest about that and say that she wants full 151 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: on open borders and a dissolution of the current legal 152 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: immigration system that America has. That's the only honest position 153 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: that she could have, because otherwise she's just another person 154 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: who's complaining about a system that is failing, largely because 155 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: Democrats refuse to enforce the laws that are on the books, 156 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: and they keep saying it's inhumane. I just want to know, 157 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: do you want to pay for every person from all 158 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: over the world who wants to come to America in 159 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: whatever numbers they want to come to America? Do you 160 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: want to be responsible for their health care, for their education, 161 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: for the massive expansion of the welfare state that we 162 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: all know is going to happen, is already happening as 163 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: a result of a huge influx of illegal immigrants into 164 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: the country. Yes, illegal immigrants are more likely to need 165 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: state assistance, more likely to show up in an emergency 166 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: room demanding free healthcare, free health services. You know, there's 167 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: just so much dishonesty around this issue, and it's awful. 168 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: And then there's the other part of this too, which 169 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: is the so that the is the we're not humane 170 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: enough because you know, taking two million illegal immigrants into 171 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: America this year roughly, that's what the numbers are looking like. 172 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: You know, that's we're not nice enough as a people. 173 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: A million legal immigrants, two million illegal immigrants. Why not 174 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: twenty Ask AOC, ask a Democrat? Why not just let 175 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: anyone who wants to come into the country come into 176 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: the country. And they don't have an answer for you. 177 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: They'll say something like, well, you know, we have a 178 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: system and we have laws. No, but you don't want 179 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: the laws to be enforced. You oppose at every stage Democrats, 180 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: those laws to actually be implemented. So that's just dishonest. 181 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: You're just lying about what you really want here, which 182 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: is what they do all the time. Yes, AOC calls 183 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: him inhumane, and everyone seeing that the Biden administration doesn't 184 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: have any answers on immigration that it's willing to say 185 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: out loud, and that Kamala Harris is just flailing on 186 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: this trip and everyone seeing this is the person the 187 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 1: Democrats really want to make the next president of the 188 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: United States. Please, when you've lost CNN and you're Kamala Harris, 189 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: you know things are going badly. This is a CNN piece. 190 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: Unnamed White House insiders were left perplexed by the performance 191 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: of Vice President Kamala Harris on a recent trip to 192 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: Guatemala and Mexico to address the root causes of immigration 193 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: problems at the US southern border. Early in the administration, 194 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden assigned Harris the unenviable task. Oh yes, because 195 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: that's notice how they make it sound like it's not 196 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: Harris's fault. It's an unenviable task of ostensibly overseeing the 197 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: hot button political issue. Harris's team subsequently made clear her 198 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: focus would be on these systemic issues at play, focusing 199 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: on the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El 200 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: Salvador from which a majority of border migrants come. Harris 201 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: has been a lightning rod for criticism. Yeah, you don't say, okay, anyway, 202 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: I just even the White House is like, my gosh, 203 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: she's making a mess of this thing. But notice that 204 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: there's a trend here. It's important you see this. The 205 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: left has a ideological framework that applies to many issues, 206 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: and in this case, what you're seeing is this system, 207 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: the systemic causes component coming to the forefront all over again. Right. 208 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: It's just like what you see with the law enforcement 209 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: crisis across the country, or the lack of law enforcement 210 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: because we're undermining cops. We're undermining our law enforcement officers, 211 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: and so you have spiking murder rates. Instead of dealing 212 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: with the problem directly, more cops on the streets, more 213 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: prosecution of violent criminals, lock up violent criminals, longer, back 214 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: up our cops when they have to defend themselves and others. 215 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: Instead of going right to it, they want to take 216 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: some roundabout politically expedient route. Oh, let's hire more social workers. 217 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: Let's defund the police, which actually caused the problem. I mean, 218 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: look at it. You can line these two issues up. 219 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: You can line up the border, and you can line 220 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: up defund the police and the crime surge in this country, 221 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: and you see a tremendous commonality here. It's very obvious, right, 222 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: how does it all start. Biden administration comes in. Biden 223 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: administration comes in, gets rid of remade in Mexico, speaks 224 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: very differently about the border, doesn't want to do interior 225 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: enforcement everybody. It's wide open, okay. Biden administration in twenty 226 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: twenty is supportive in the campaign of the BLM movement, 227 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: then comes into office, all the focuses on the January 228 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: sixth insurrection and not on the riots that occurred then 229 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: and the violence that's occurring now because of the undermining 230 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: of cops. So Biden's worldview. The Democrat Party essentially because 231 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: Biden just does what his handlers say, is responsible for 232 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: the creation of a problem, right, making something substantially worse, 233 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: and then instead of addressing it in the obvious way 234 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: in the border, securing the border, turning people away, deporting 235 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: those immediately who do not show up for their hearings, 236 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: deporting those immediately who are on the list to be deported, 237 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: and turning away people that have false asylum claims that 238 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: are obviously false, raising the credible fear standard to a 239 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: point where it actually means something. Instead of doing any 240 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: of that, they want to deal with the root cause 241 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: of migration in Central America, which on it in a 242 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: best case, is gonna maybe help the problem a little 243 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: bit in a number of years if they put a 244 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: lot of resources in time into it. Doesn't that sound 245 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: just like their approach to law enforcement and defund the 246 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: police adding social workers. You've got shootings and murders spiking 247 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: fifty percent, sixty percent, seventy percent in cities across the 248 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: country year over year. And instead of saying, let's stop 249 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: the bad guys from shooting people, let's put more cops 250 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: on the street, let's back them up, let's deal with 251 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: the problem, the Democrats want to deal with. Oh, the 252 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: root sys systematic or systemic causes of this, that's what 253 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: we have to do. Let's have more social workers, Let's 254 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: have you know, more after school programs or what. Okay, 255 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe we could even say that some of 256 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: those things are are reasonable ideas or of the long run, 257 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: although I think the social workers instead of cops thing 258 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: is just insane. But anyway, you know, because they're already 259 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: are social workers. And I got news for you. Social 260 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: workers don't want to respond to a domestic violence call. 261 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: They don't not without a cop there. You know, psychiatric 262 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: personnel don't want to respond to an emotionally disturbed person 263 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: call not without a cop there. But you see how 264 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: they do the same thing. The same fundamental fallacies apply. 265 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: Democrats have a worldview that is wrong when it comes 266 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: to cause an effect, that is wrong when it comes 267 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: to history, that is wrong when it comes to who 268 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who's 269 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: breaking the law, who's supporting the law. And this means 270 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: that they're just making wrong choices over and over again 271 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: on the border, a law enforcement on any number of issues, right, 272 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: and this is you see what I mean. Though they 273 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: cause the problem, then they won't address it directly because 274 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: the indirect approach allows them to pander to their base 275 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: and have this social justice first approach to something that's 276 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: really a law enforcement issue in both cases, the border 277 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: and the murder rate spike in this country, And then 278 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: when they really want to just push something that's nonsensical, 279 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: they go back to the historical the historical framework for something. Okay, well, 280 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: maybe we want to stop Central Americans from coming into 281 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: America illegally by the hundreds of thousands a month, but 282 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: it's really our fault. You see, it's our fault that 283 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: people are leaving Central America. America's fault, your fault, my 284 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: fault because of US history in the region. You knew 285 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: this was coming. Joy and Reid said over on MSNBC 286 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: the following you got to hear at play six. There 287 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: are seven countries in Central America. There's another dozen countries 288 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: in two sort of territories in South America. We'reking at 289 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty three million people in South America. 290 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: It's something like what forty four million people in Central America. 291 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: The United States southern border with Mexico is not the 292 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: only important issue that matters to the world. Those seven 293 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: countries have a long history with the United States, much 294 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 1: of it troubling. The United States used much of Central 295 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: America as essentially a giant plantation. Google the United Fruit Company. 296 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: We have a long, sordid, torrid history with this region. 297 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: The history does not begin at the border where people 298 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: are showing up. That is not the only important thing 299 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: that matters. There's a whole history that long proceeds people 300 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: arriving at the border between Mexico and the United States. 301 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad that she has Google and could do a 302 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: quick search of the United Fruit Company and the history 303 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: of n America before she went on air to pretendially 304 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: knows something about these issues. But I will just say this, 305 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: we want a secure border. I don't care what the 306 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: US was doing in Central America in the nineteen eighties. 307 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: I want a secure border. I don't care what the 308 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: US was doing when it comes to agricultural policy a 309 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: century ago. I want to secure border. We've been to 310 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: the border. We've been to the border. You haven't been 311 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: to the border, and I haven't been to Europe as well, 312 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: So then you do see the cool flexity. Listen, I've 313 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: been to the border before. I will go again. But 314 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: when I'm in Guatemala dealing with root causes, I think 315 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: we should have a conversation about what's going on in 316 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: Guatemala or so, can you commit right now that you 317 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: will indeed visit the US Mexico border until you do 318 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: it soon, Jeremy, let me tell you something, But yes, 319 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 1: I will, and I have before. Yeah, she's really on 320 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: top of the issue, folks, she really gets it. You know. 321 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: It's funny too, is that is that the Democrats they 322 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: can't get on the same sheet of music. About this 323 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: because while some are pretending, you know, the the Biden administration, 324 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: because at the national level, they know that fifty one 325 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: percent of the American people are not down with an 326 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: open border. They're not and so they have to play 327 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: this game. But those Democrats who get to be the 328 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: far lefties because they either have a congressional district or 329 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: even a state that's so blue that people are absurd 330 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: and don't understand cause and effect and don't know anything 331 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: about what's really happening at the border. You got people 332 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: like Bernie Sanders running around saying, you know, we should 333 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: actually make it even easier for people to come into 334 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: America illegally. Play eight. You said, the wall is symbolic 335 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: and it represents so wouldn't it be proper to tear 336 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: that symbol down in order to achieve that it? Maybe, 337 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: but you know, it's how much its gonna cost the 338 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: tearer down? Should you do that tearing down? I don't know. 339 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: Maybe the answer is yes, that's something that's something you're 340 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: willing to consider. Yeah, you're willing will tearing down exhibiting 341 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: fencing between us. But again, if it's going to cost 342 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: me billions of dollars to tear it down. Our rather 343 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: investment maybe and the needs for childcare in this country. 344 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: But it's something you know, we can look at. It's 345 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: something we can look at. Why would you look at that? 346 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: What possible purpose could there be in tearing down a 347 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: section of border wall that to a man to a person, 348 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: border patrol will tell you walls fences help make their 349 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: job easier. I've never heard anybody in border patrol say 350 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: anything different. Of all the people I have to talk 351 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: to you in border patrol, in in you know, customs 352 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: and Immigration enforcement, never heard anybody say anything different than that. 353 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: Who's a actual employee and civil servant of those organizations. 354 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll hear political people say something different. So why 355 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: would you tear down some of the wall. Well, because 356 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: you're trying to play kate the radical left wing open 357 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: borders base. That's why. That's the only reason why. There's 358 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: no other reason that you could give. And if you're 359 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: somebody who really believes that we shouldn't we shouldn't be 360 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: able to have sovereignty, why is America? I always want 361 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: to ask these internationalist libs Marxists this question. Why is 362 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: it that America is the only country in the world 363 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: that anybody wants to go to that is not allowed 364 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: to determine who comes and who goes. Try to just 365 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: show up sometime in a country that requires a visa 366 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: for a US entry and say no, but I really 367 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: want to be here. I think I have a better 368 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: chance at a job here. I want to be here. 369 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: Try to do that, You're going to be put on 370 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: a plane, sent back home and probably detained for many hours, 371 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: maybe a day or two in uncomfortable additions, and told 372 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: you know you're not coming in. That's what's going to happen. 373 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Are all those countries racist? Is it always racism that 374 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: results in people not wanting an open border because the 375 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: rest of the world is allowed to have borders. Somehow 376 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: America is not allowed to have borders. Why is that interesting, 377 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: isn't it? And as we all know, if it were 378 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: about safety, there are plenty of places in Mexico where 379 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: Central Americans would have much eat and much easier time 380 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: linguistically and culturally and are perfectly safe. There are a 381 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: lot of parts of Mexico, plenty of states in Mexico 382 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: that people have low crime rates, and it's not you know, 383 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: I know there are bad parts of Mexicans too. They're 384 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: bad parts of the US. Maybe you go go check 385 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: out what it's like these days in some parts of 386 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: Baltimore or the South side of Chicago, or there are 387 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: parts of the US with really high crime rates too. 388 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: But this is not about what's true, folks, This is 389 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: not about what's really going on. This is about feelings. 390 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: You see, Democrats are always motivated by how they feel 391 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: on these issues and how it makes them feel about themselves. 392 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. That's why the virtue signaling 393 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: impulse is so powerful among the Libs. That's why they 394 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: believe so strongly in all of this. AOC is among 395 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: the She's really it's like, it's like idiot leftists who 396 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: just graduated college created a pseudo Marxist member of Congress 397 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: and like, you know, on a computer and then built 398 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: one you know, like like like like they they created 399 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: the perfect distillation of faculty lounge left wing idiocy and 400 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: made it made an actual person based upon those upon 401 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: those parameters, you get a see and here she is 402 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: telling everybody because again part of this is there's a 403 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: liberal guilt, like we have to take in as many 404 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: people from the third world as possible. Into America illegally. 405 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: We're already were already taken refugees, We're already taken a 406 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: million league immigrants. We have to just make it so 407 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: that whoever wants to show up and can get here 408 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: on foot can come into the country because we owe 409 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: it to them. We the American people, owe it to them. 410 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: And remember, you know your tax dollars will go to 411 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: support these individuals, and those taxes are taken from you 412 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: by force by the state, and that AOC and the 413 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: rest of Democrats ultimately will support men with guns showing 414 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: up to your home to drag you away and lock 415 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: you in a cell if you refuse to pay those 416 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: taxes to support the massive welfare state and the monetary 417 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: policies necessary for the Biden administration to do what it 418 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: wants with the incredible spending increases that we're seeing. So 419 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: you're not given a choice in any of them. And 420 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: they will support men with guns locking you up if 421 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: because the law is the law. Right, the laws the law, 422 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: say the authoritarian Democrats until they don't like the law, 423 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: and then you know, when it's immigration time at come on, 424 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: laws don't count. And we say that's hypocritical, and they 425 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: say exactly, this is about power. We don't care that 426 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: it's hypocritical. Don't you see that It doesn't sting them, 427 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't upset them. They don't have any principles, so 428 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: telling them they're unprincipled has no effect. So that's how 429 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: you get where we are right now. And it's also 430 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: why there's so much virtue signaling among the left when 431 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: it comes to the immigration issue, AOC citing how we 432 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: owe it to these migrants crossing into America illegally because 433 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 1: America has done so much bad climate change stuff that 434 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: the climate change has made it bad in Central America, 435 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: and so that's why they're fleeing. So it's really our fault. 436 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: Plate ten. This is also climate policy that is impacting 437 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: the global South disproportionately. Even though these farmers and these 438 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: folks in Central and South America contributed to climate change 439 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: the least in terms of their carbon emissions, they are 440 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: experiencing the ravages the most right now and first, and 441 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: so US climate policy has contributed to this. US foreign policy, 442 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: US economic and trade policy has helped contribute to conditions 443 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: that that people are fleeing just not true. I mean 444 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: and want to say it's not true. It's it's absurd. 445 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: Central America is getting the worst of the climate change 446 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: brunch right now. Really, this is an argument that a 447 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: person is making who expects to be treated like she 448 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: knows anything and has and it has even a baseline 449 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: of necessary intelligence to wax philosophical on these issues. Really, 450 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: apparently it's our climate policy that's making people leave from 451 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,719 Speaker 1: Central America. I just want to know. Was it our 452 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: climate policy that was making things so rough in Central 453 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: America in the nineteen eighties? Oh? No, that would be 454 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: our foreign policy. Somehow, It's always our fault, right, And 455 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: it's not the communists. It's not the Sandinista's fault. What 456 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: happened the nineteen eight It's not the Soviet Union's fault. No, No, 457 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: it's all our fault. It's amazing how this sell this 458 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: constant desire for self purification through showy victimhood. Oh we 459 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: were so bad, Look what America did. I'm not one 460 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: of those bad people, though, is central to the Democrat ethos. 461 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: It's just pathetic afterwhile, isn't it. The amount of impact 462 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: you and I have had on Central America's climate is zero. 463 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it. It's absurd. This 464 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: is crazy person talk. Oh, it's what AOC is talking about. Though, Yes, 465 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: we have to look at root causes, but there's a 466 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: crisis at the border right now today. You have to 467 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: address that today while you look at the root causes 468 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: down the road. I think also part of leading is 469 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: optics and showing that and showing what you care about 470 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: and what your goals are and going into the border 471 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: would have made a big difference. This has been a 472 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: discussion for weeks. I'm not sure why it hasn't happened. 473 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: It's a lot of easier you've said, been done, but 474 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: perhaps should have been a priority. Perhaps, yeah, yeah, when 475 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: you've lost Mikah, when people who will say anything on 476 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: TV as long as NBC Universal keeps sending those big 477 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: paychecks to them, when you have got somebody will say 478 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: anything on TV and knows that her job is to 479 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: just constantly pump up and praise Biden, Harris, all of them, 480 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: and she's saying, yeah, maybe maybe it should have been 481 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: a priority. I also think it's funny too easier said 482 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: than done. No, it's actually really easy. As the vice president, 483 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: this is US soil. If everybody was saying, if there 484 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: was a huge crisis. You know, in in Topeka, Kansas. 485 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: We're all worried about Topeka. Don't you think that the 486 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: vice president would be expected to go there. No, we're 487 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: not even asking her to go to a foreign country. 488 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: When we say the border, it just means go down 489 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: to a part of America that is close to another country. 490 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: This is not hard. So I think it's funny, and 491 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: she goes, oh, it's easier said than done. No, it's 492 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: actually easier done than said. For Kamala Harris, you just go, 493 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: just go. It's not not challenging at all. But I'm sorry, 494 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: I just, oh, my gosh, it's so pathetic. This administration 495 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: is such a joke, such a joke. You know, there 496 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: were things about the Trump administration stylistically and in terms 497 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: of you know that my big beef, and I don't 498 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: want to be a broken record on this, My big 499 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: beef was a lot of the personnel decisions, and notably 500 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: the my kids are going to be my top advisor's decision. 501 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: That was a huge mistake from the very beginning, totally wrong, 502 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: totally gross, and people just didn't want to say. I 503 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: said it on this show, and I got a lot 504 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: of heat for it from folks. But I was right, 505 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: and you know I was right. And if you think 506 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm If you think I wasn't right, go ask anybody 507 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: who worked in this White House what it meant to 508 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: have Jared Kushner have full determination on who got access 509 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: to the President of the United States and who did. 510 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: Not a liberal, folks, a liberal, would you want Joe 511 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: Biden or Kamala Harris to basically be the de facto 512 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: chief of staff under the Biden under a Trump administration? No, 513 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: So I was telling the truth and I wanted to 514 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: do something about it. But so much easier for people 515 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: in the media just run around maga. Yeah, you know 516 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: conservative media. No what, no one everybody wanted to cheer 517 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: for the good stuff. Nobody wanted to be the coach 518 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: at halftime that's said, I want this team to win. Therefore, 519 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: here's what Trump needs to do. People didn't want to 520 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: hear it, and we lost this last election. Ah, you 521 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: can tell me, oh, bak, you know they cheated or 522 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: they who's the president now? Right? I still focus in 523 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: on results first and foremost. We deal with reality. Friends. 524 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: We're not liberals. We don't create an alternate universe. We 525 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: deal with reality. Joe Biden is the president. There were 526 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: things that could have been done differently that would have 527 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: changed that, including fighting against the way that the Democrats 528 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: were changing elections using the pandemic as an excuse to 529 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: change elections in the actual height of the election season. 530 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: But there were aspects of the Trump administration that, as 531 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, I felt the need to sometimes criticize. Overall, 532 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: I think the agenda was very powerful, and I think 533 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: that's what we're going to return to, hopefully with a 534 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: I believe a descentist twenty twenty four run with Trump's backing, 535 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,479 Speaker 1: and that's that's a winning a winning ticket, I believe. 536 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: But we knew with Trump that there were some aspects 537 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: of this that we're gonna be. You know, it's gonna 538 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: be a little bit of a show. You know, it's 539 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: gonna be a little rough around the edges sometimes. It 540 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: was also gonna be very amusing, and it was. And 541 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: the way that he took it to the media was incredible. 542 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: And finally people really understand that journalism is a fraud 543 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: in this country. As a profession. It doesn't really exist. 544 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: There are some people who can do journalism, but it's 545 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: not it's not a profession anymore. It does not if 546 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: you believe the journalism is people actually speaking without political 547 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: impetus and pushing agendas. But what's funny to me is 548 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: that this Biden administration, given what we were promised and 549 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: now what we're seeing, it's pretty hilarious, isn't it. They 550 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: didn't say, yeah, Biden's gonna be too old and we're 551 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: not really gonna hear that much from him, but you 552 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: know it's it's gonna be uh, he's gonna be a 553 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: that relies on the advisor. No, we were told that 554 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: Biden and Harris, we're gonna do a great job. Biden 555 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: and Harris, We're going to restore our democracy, our faith 556 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: in government. They're gonna get all these amazing things done. 557 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: They're gonna do all this great stuff. Like what I 558 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: mean the people that are saying, look at the vaccines. 559 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the operation warp speed of the Trump administration 560 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: got a record time vaccine program done, and then the 561 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: Biden administration inherited a vaccine distribution plan and just played 562 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: out the plan. Yeah. I'm sure they made some adjustments 563 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: anybody would have, but that's it. I mean, this is 564 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: like saying, oh, Biden, you know, funded the military. Yeah, okay, 565 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: we kind of expect that. You know, what's the what's 566 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: the difficult decision that's been made here? What is the 567 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: choice that that Biden Harris has made that has resulted 568 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: in a better America for a vast majority of the 569 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: people who live here. They don't have it even you're 570 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: starting to hear that the Democrats are getting frustrated because 571 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: they can't get what they want. Here's here's a little 572 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer talking about the GOP and negotiations over infrastructure 573 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: bill play eleven. Well, look, we have to we're proposing 574 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: we're pursuing a two path proposal. On the one hand, 575 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: there's bipartisan negotiations and those are continuing the first world 576 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: between President Biden and Senator Capitau with just Republicans. Those 577 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: seem to be running into a brick wall. But a 578 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: bipartisan group led by Senator Cinema and I think Senator 579 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: Portman as the lead Republican, are trying to put something 580 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: together that might be closer to what the President needs 581 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: and sore. That's good, but that's not going to be 582 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: the only answer. We all know as a caucus, we 583 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: will not be able to do all the things that 584 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 1: the country needs in a totally bipartisan in a bipartisan way. 585 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: And so at the same time, we are pursuing the 586 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: pursuit of reconciliation, and that is going on at the 587 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: same time. And it may well be that part of 588 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: the bill that will pass will be bipartisan and part 589 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: of it will be through reconciliation. But we're not going 590 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: to sacrifice the bigness and boldness in this bill. We 591 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: will just pursue two paths and at some point they 592 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: will join. Get ready for the partisan steamroller. Friends, whatever 593 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: they can do, even if they have to abuse the 594 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: process to use the process, the Democrats will. Fellow New Yorkers, 595 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: it's time to move on to unmask ourselves and our kids. 596 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: That is the piece in the New York Post opinion 597 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: section from our friend Carol Markowitz, who has been a 598 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: warrior for the truth during this pandemic the whole time. Carol, 599 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: great to have you as always, Thank you, Buck, thanks 600 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: for having me. I gotta tell you the people that 601 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: are still walking around with masks on this this is 602 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: now and I mean this, it's an anxiety disorder. Yeah, 603 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: this is a mental this is now mental illness. And 604 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: I know they don't want to believe that because they 605 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: believe the science, and they believe the science the whole time. 606 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, And those of us who were 607 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: saying all along that anyone who's vaccinated really should have 608 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: no concern about whether someone else is vaccinated or not, 609 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: we never should have, like, let this get conceded to 610 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: the other side as an argument because it's absurd. And 611 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: now there's all these problems. I mean, Carol, did you 612 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: just give us a sense of some of the where 613 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: are some of the places where? I mean, this is 614 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 1: true in New York, but it's true in Los Angeles, 615 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: it's true in a lot of cities across the country. 616 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: They're these like remnants of faucism. What's still out there? Yeah, So, 617 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: you know, people say to me all the time, like 618 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: why do you care about other people masking? Why? Why 619 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: do I care that you know eighty percent of my 620 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 1: neighborhood still walking around outside post facts in masks. Well, 621 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: the reason I care is because it continues to affect me. 622 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: Last weekend, I took my middle son to a roller 623 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 1: skating birthday party and Prospect Park, and the rules make 624 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: no sense. To pick up your skates, you need to 625 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: wear a mask. To put on your skates, you can 626 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: take off your mask, but when you're skating in the 627 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: spacious rink with very few people in it, you need 628 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: to put the mask back on. And we got told 629 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 1: twice by the security guard to adjust our mask, even 630 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: though his own mask was below his nose because it 631 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: was ninety three degrees outside. And then the kicker of 632 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: all this is when it's time to have food and cake. 633 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: It's a really tight area where there's like five birthday 634 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: parties going on, and everybody's on top of each other 635 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: and we're all eating and blowing out candles and singing 636 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: Happy Birthday. And literally, if you had to design where 637 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: masking would ever make sense, it would be in that area. 638 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: But obviously post backs and you know, in June twenty 639 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: twenty one, we shouldn't be masking anywhere, But if anywhere, 640 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: it would be there, and there you don't have to mask, 641 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: so none of it makes any sense. It's completely mind boggling, 642 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: And so I care. I care that so many people 643 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: are still masking because it affects me still have these 644 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: rules because all these people are still masking. Yeah, there's 645 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: these these remnants, you know, in my building, for example, 646 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: where I am in New York City for everybody listening there, 647 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean I live in a building there are hundreds 648 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,439 Speaker 1: and hundreds of residents, so just to give you it's 649 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 1: it's a very large building with a ton of people 650 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: coming in and out all the time. And I've basically 651 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: started the mask insurrection. Yeah, I will not tell everybody. Yes, 652 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm the one who has pulled down the mask signs 653 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: in the gym. I'm the one who never wears a 654 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: mask in the gym. And now others are finally joining along. 655 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: They come in, they see me because they don't want 656 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: to wear a mask. No one wants to wear a 657 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: mask when they work out. And these are some of 658 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: these guys. I mean they're actually like and girls. They're 659 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 1: like really good shape, and they're like twenty five or thirty, 660 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're vaccinated. The idea that they should 661 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: be on the treadmill like heaving into this cloth over 662 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: their mouth is completely insane, and that anyone demands this 663 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: of other people is insane. And they still do it 664 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: in a lot of places. In my lobby, they have 665 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: a big man required indoors. Now I don't comply. But 666 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: there's this weird tension because the people that still think 667 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: this stuff needs to be happening. They they don't want 668 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: to be told that they're silly and kind of dumb. 669 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: They want to still live in this fantasy land that 670 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: they're the normal ones. And by the way, airplanes still 671 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: require it. Cabs ubers any uber anywhere in the country. 672 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: If you're listening to this in in Nebraska right now, 673 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: if you're listening is wherever you are, uber still requires 674 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: you to mask up. Why, Yeah, yeah, it makes no sense, 675 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,919 Speaker 1: and especially you know in situations like airplanes. Again, yeah, 676 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: we all wear our masks, you know, sitting in into 677 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: part on airplanes, and then we all take off our 678 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: masks to eat and drink because that somehow makes sense, 679 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: and then put the masks right back on because you know, 680 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: the aerosols we just we just spit all over the place. 681 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: Aren't going to affect each other. None of it makes sense. 682 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: None of it's made sense for a long time. And 683 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: I have to say that, like in the winter and 684 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: in the fall and last spring, I made my kids 685 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: mask outside because I didn't want to get yelled at 686 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 1: by anybody. I didn't I didn't want to get it 687 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,760 Speaker 1: into altercation on the street while I'm with my children. 688 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: But now I'm like, bring it, bring it on, let's 689 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: let's let's have a fight in June twenty twenty one 690 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: about masking on the street because I'm not having it anymore. 691 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. And I'm I'm starting 692 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: to get to the point now where you know, my 693 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: my local grocery store, because I like, you know, the 694 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: I like, you know, fancy coconut waters and things like that. 695 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: You know, So I go into a grocery store. There's 696 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: two that but but but they both actually those kind 697 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: of more standard grocery store and the more sort of 698 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: health food you know, vegan friendly alternative grocery store I 699 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: go to. They both require masks, and I mean, I 700 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: don't want to see that. What I think is so 701 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: unfair is that the way that they always move around 702 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: the discussion so you can never get accountability. Like if 703 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: I go in there without a mask on and and 704 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: somebody tells me and I cause a problem, you know 705 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: that I'll be dragged if I like bring this to 706 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: social media. But people say it's not the fault of 707 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: the employees, I'm like, well, whose fault is it, like, 708 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, show me the person making the decision, right, Yeah, 709 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it has this kind 710 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: of you know, just taking the mask got off and 711 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: waiting for somebody to say something to you, because that's 712 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: the only way we really get out of this. I 713 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: think so many people. Yeah, you know, we started this 714 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: conversation with how many people are just have anxiety about 715 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: removing their masks, and how many people are afraid. But 716 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: I also think there's some large subset of people who 717 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: are just following the crowd, and they don't want to 718 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: stick out, and they don't want to have an argument. 719 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: They don't want anybody to say, hey, why aren't you 720 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: wearing your mask, and so they're wearing it. So those 721 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: of us who are open to having the conversation and 722 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: open to having the argument, we should lead the way 723 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: on this. Speaking to Carol Markowitch, she's got a great 724 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: piece in the New York Post, the editorial page in 725 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: the New York Post, and she talks about what it 726 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: was like taking her son to a party outside roller 727 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: skating and sure enough, you have to wear a mask 728 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: or in the ring, you have to wear a mask. 729 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: Which yeah, which is completely bonkers. But you know, Carol, I, 730 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: you know, I have to say that as as far 731 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, there needs to be a repudiation of fauciism. 732 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: And this is what this is why, because I've had 733 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: people say, oh, you're too upset about this or something 734 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: I said, and I'm like, I don't think I'm upset enough. Actually, 735 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,479 Speaker 1: because we're while while the reductions are happening, and people 736 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: who live in Florida are like, oh great, um, I 737 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: was just in Miami. There are still plenty of places 738 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: that do the whole the you know, the mask theater 739 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: of you got to wear it when you go to 740 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: the hostess stand in the restaurant, but then you can 741 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 1: take it like there. It is not a mask free zone. 742 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: People are are wrong when they say that it is 743 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: actually still and we have to repudiate that this. There 744 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 1: are a few things it did not work, and this 745 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: is still considered a controversial thing to say, but mask mandates, 746 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: mask policies did not work anywhere near as advertised. That's 747 00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: one part of this. And the second part of this 748 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: is that you know, they they've just begun to begun 749 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: to see and we've talked about before natural immunity and 750 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: how this doesn't really ever get discussed. The Cleveland Clinic, 751 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: not right wing crazydoc dot com. The Cleveland Clinic just 752 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,479 Speaker 1: did a study of over fifty thousand people and sure enough, 753 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: those who are vaccinated natural vaccinated versus those who are 754 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: have natural immunity, same level of protection for them. What 755 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: a shot. And this is another fight we need to have. 756 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 1: It's not over. Yeah, absolutely, you know I have to 757 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: My column in Today's New York Post is about New 758 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: Yorker's please take off your masks. But I had another 759 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 1: one two days ago on Monday, where I talked about 760 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: how we must confront where Fauchi went wrong. He has 761 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: to answer questions. We lived under his insane guidance for 762 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: fifteen months and we did really crazy things over and 763 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: over again, and we need him to answer questions. And 764 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: yet we have this media who's asking him like, Wow, 765 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: how are you so amazing? And that's you know, that's 766 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: what we get from our press. But we really need 767 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: some answers. And one of the things I need answered 768 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: from him is he did not think that the masks 769 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: could contain the virus because the virus is too small, 770 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: and he was talking about medical masks at the time, 771 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: and then we all moved collectively to cloth masks. So 772 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: did the virus grow is without how the cloth masks 773 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 1: were able to contain it according to his you know calculations. 774 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: I want to hear it from him. I don't want 775 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: to hear it from amateur you know doctors on Twitter. 776 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: I want doctor Fautre to answer what changed his mind 777 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: on masks specifically. It's it's just it's something that there 778 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: will be so much of a of a fight over 779 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: because it did become a cultural and political symbol, as 780 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: we all now know. It did become a sign of 781 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: Democrat tribal allegiance and anti trumpism and all these things. 782 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: And when you add all that together, that I mean 783 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: it is it is my belief that mask wearing as 784 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 1: people did it in this country, which is, you know, 785 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: put a cloth mask onto take it off sometimes, yet 786 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 1: sometimes they whatever touching all the time, had zero appreciable 787 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: effect whatsoever on the spread of COVID. That is my 788 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: honest belief. And it has been really all along. Although 789 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: I was open in the beginning to okay, maybe like 790 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: maybe this will actually really work the way we're told 791 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 1: and if we let this go, for everybody who's like, Buck, 792 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: why are you still on this, You're going to be 793 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 1: wearing masks on planes for the next two or three 794 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 1: years minimum, folks at least. Yeah, because they must have 795 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,760 Speaker 1: places where it still goes on to perpetuate this fantasy 796 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: that what they did was worthwhile. Right, absolutely right, And 797 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,720 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I don't understand the wanting 798 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 1: to not talk about this anymore, like or just saying like, Okay, 799 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: it's over, forget it, Like I can't forget it. I 800 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: can't forget the fact that my five year old today 801 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: is still in school masks my kid. You know, I 802 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: have three kids eleven, eight, and five. They're all masked 803 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: in school. They're all masked at recess. And it's crazy. 804 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: And we continue to do this, and I have no 805 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 1: faith that we won't continue to do this in the fall. 806 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 1: Where do you think where do you think we should 807 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: we should draw the line on restaurants here, Carol, because 808 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 1: there are some places that yeah, there are some places 809 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,720 Speaker 1: that are doing this separate on the honor system based 810 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: on vaccine passports, but they're actually not legally allowed to 811 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 1: demand but they're kind of like intimidating people into self 812 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: segregating by vax status in restaurants here in New York. 813 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'm just telling everybody. I may 814 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: end up causing a scene somewhere, like I might be 815 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,720 Speaker 1: some like right wing talk radio host goes viral because 816 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to lose my mind on these people. I'm 817 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna say who's in charge. I want the manager, like 818 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: I want the owner.
