He may read it on the show. 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: I really do think it's depressing that we all expect 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: things to just get worse in Minneapolis, and we expect 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 1: that this will spread to other cities. We should be 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: able to have a national conversation or at least have 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: some kind of understanding that we the American people all 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: want justice and that there needs to be a cooling 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: of passions and tempers here because a lot of innocent 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: people are going to get hurt otherwise. But instead, it's 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: just it seems so clear that the wave of mayhem 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: and anarchy is just going to continue to build up, 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: and the Democrat demagoguery around all this is just going 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: to get worse. But you know, these days, what you 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: see online is so already curated in gued because the 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: big tech sensors are making sure that you can only 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: say certain things, and everything that you do online is 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: public in a sense.

Kind of takes away the whole 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: no shit of what a personal computer or PC should be. 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Your activities, your data may no longer really be personal 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: right the bad guys can get to it.

They surrounded the police 43 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: station in Brooklyn Center. If you've seen the photos of it, 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: if you see what's going on here, it looks like 45 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: they're prepared for a protracted siege. You have law enforcement 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: officers that have nothing to do with the specific incident 47 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: of the shooting, the killing of Dante Wright, who are 48 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: being attacked by angry people in a mob. Antifa self 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: describe Antifa members now showing up. This is a litmatch 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: thrown into a tinderbox, sitting atop a big pool of gasoline. 51 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: This is a highly combustible situation right now, and everyone 52 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: needs to just take a step back and think about 53 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: what's really going on here. The city of Minneapolis has 54 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: already been through far too much, and the rest of 55 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: the country has dealt with the reverberations. As you recall, 56 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: last summer, there were b LM protests that broke out 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: across the country, and it needs to be said more 58 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: more people need to know this, need to hear this 59 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: that in a year of a pandemic where we had 60 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: lockdowns and we had people interacting less, far fewer people 61 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: than in living memory, going to bars and restaurants and 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: subways and being out in public places, so you should 63 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: expect that the violence rate in the country would be far, 64 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: far lower than in previous years. Instead, what we had 65 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: was a massive spike arise of murder and other violent 66 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: crimes and including rapes, sexual assaults, assault with a deadly 67 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: weapon arise across the country not seen in over twenty years. 68 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: The worst murder rate. They're expecting. They still compile the 69 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: numbers and they'll give us the official date. I believe 70 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: in September the worst murder rate since nineteen ninety five nationwide. 71 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: And there's one major factor in all of this. The 72 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 1: George Floyd police incident in Minneapolis, his death, the riots 73 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: that ensued afterwards, the undermining of police, the call through 74 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: defund police, and communities becoming less safe as a result. 75 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: People suffer because of these bad ideas. People suffer because 76 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: of these lies. We all need to understand this. We 77 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: need to be honest about it. I know right now 78 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: that there is that cheap virtue signaling going on all 79 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: over the place by people who live in safe communities, 80 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: who don't know from a firsthand experience, and who think 81 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: that standing in solidarity with rioters and looters is somehow 82 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: making anything better. It actually just makes everything worse. But 83 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: the ruling class and the elites, members of the Democrat Party, 84 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, corporate America, they are very clear and where 85 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: their sympathies lie. And there's also it seems very little 86 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: willingness to say to people, stop being reckless, stop saying 87 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: things that are not true. People with major platforms. Corey Bush, 88 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: member of Congress, tweeted this out about Officer Potter, who 89 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: has already resigned and who is now facing criminal culpability. 90 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: There have been about fifteen of these taser firearm mistake 91 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: shootings that have occurred over the last decade or so. 92 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: So this has happened before, and in most of the 93 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: cases there was no criminal charge, especially if the person 94 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: if no one was killed. In a couple of cases 95 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: there have been criminal charges. An Officer Potter may very 96 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: well get an involuntary manslaughter charge as a result, but 97 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: that's already in process. Right there. There is an accountability 98 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: that is going on here that will never be true 99 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: justice in the sense that you can't bring back Dante, 100 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: right there's nothing to bring him back to stop that 101 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: tragic accident from happening. But here's what Cory Bush Remember 102 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: the House representative said about all this that she would 103 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: rather she tweeted this. The twenty six year veteran cop, 104 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: former president of the police union doesn't know the difference 105 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: between a taser and a gun. And you say more 106 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: training would have fixed this. Nah, But I bet you 107 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: would have known the difference if Dante wasn't a black boy, 108 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: or if he was her loved one. And quote that's 109 00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: from a representative, Cory Bush. That is a sighting, unfair 110 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: and deeply unhelpful thing to say. Right now, there is 111 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: absolutely no evidence whatsoever of racial animus in this incident. 112 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: In fact, if anything, what we see on video is 113 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: someone who is clearly trying to do one thing, makes 114 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: an awful mistake that she is responsible for, and then 115 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: realizes the error that she's just committed and that the 116 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: tragedy that ensued, and knows that it's too late and 117 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: she can't take that bullet back. But this has happened 118 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: before the timing of this, I mean beyond just the 119 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: fact that it's a tragedy in and of itself, but 120 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: the timing of this right before we're expected to hear 121 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: about the George Floyd verdict. I mean it rather the 122 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Derek Chauvin verdict about the death of George Floyd, which 123 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: is next week. I mean the jury could be deliberating 124 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: as soon as next week. Right now, it would be 125 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 1: hard to think of a more tense situation. And people 126 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: who have platforms, people who have power here in the 127 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: national conversation, should use it responsibly. But we shouldn't expect 128 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: that to happen. Not with today's Democrat party. We've got 129 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: an open border, we've got out of control spending, we've 130 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: got real fears of inflation. People are starting to wise 131 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: up to the fact that the Faucii consensus is never 132 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: going to just let us go back to normal, that 133 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: they're not even really thinking there is such a thing 134 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: as everyone just stops wearing masks and lives their lives, 135 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: that they're not going to give up that control. People 136 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: are starting to see through this Biden administration and so 137 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: what do they want here? That's right, an issue of 138 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: racial justice according to left, to rally around to make 139 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: it seem like there is a righteous cause for the left, 140 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: when in this case and this reality, what they're going 141 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: to do is just create excuses for more destruction, violence, 142 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: and anarchy in the streets. What was better as a 143 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: result of BLM riots last year? What improved? Oh, they 144 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: got the main demand, which was defunding of police in 145 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: some cities, and crime sword and people died and misery spread. 146 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: It's very straightforward. The cops are not the problem, all right. 147 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: We have to be adults in America. We have to 148 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: be willing to say things that are obviously true. We 149 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: have to fight this effort to shut down your ability 150 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: to observe what you know to be true. There is 151 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: a war on observation going on right now. You can't 152 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: see what's actually true and not true about lockdowns and 153 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: vaccine policies and all the rest of it. Shut up 154 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: and do what you're told you can't see and come 155 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: to your own conclusions about how crime is getting worse 156 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: and how BLM activists by million dollar mansions for themselves 157 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: while they're actually supposed to be, you know, helping poor 158 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: communities and dealing with police relations. Right, you're not allowed 159 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: to notice these things. You're told what to think, and 160 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: if you disagree, you're shouted down. They're not even trying 161 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: to convince you of anything anymore. And you're certainly not 162 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: supposed to notice that BLM as a movement has blood 163 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: on its hands. You look at what's happened over the 164 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: last year, over the last twelve months, and because of 165 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: the defunding of police, because of the change in perception 166 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: about community police relations and the fact that law enforcement 167 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: does not feel backed up in their jobs, more people 168 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: are dead than one otherwise be more people have suffered. 169 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: And what exactly is gained by all this defund police 170 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: which I know Ben and Jerry's, the ice cream company, 171 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: has now said that they want to abolish police. Look, 172 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: they're a bunch of morons who have done far too 173 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: much to push type two diabetes on the country. Okay, 174 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: by the way, boycott them. Let me just throw that 175 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: out there right now. Donate that ice cream. If every 176 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: person who had a rational view of America in the country, 177 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: who was center right said I'm not going to buy 178 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: anymore Ben and Jerry's, they may actually feel that a 179 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: little bit. They may actually realize shut up and make 180 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: my you know, Oreo cookie swirl or whatever it is. 181 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: Whatever they make, I usually can't eat it because they 182 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: have gluten and a lot of their ice cream. That's 183 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: the truth. We need to take action or else this 184 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: stuff continues. Defund the police is moronic. It's a stupid 185 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: thing to say. There are bad people in this country. 186 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: There are bad, violent, destructive people of all races and backgrounds, 187 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: and we all need to be universally held to account 188 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: for our actions. We cannot break the law. If we 189 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: become a lawless society, the foundation upon which everything else 190 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: is built, all of our prosperity and all of good 191 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: fun stuff out there, and all the systems that we 192 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: benefit from every day, they all start to crumble if 193 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: we don't have rule of law and we are all 194 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: responsible as individuals, as human beings for our actions. There 195 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: is no license to loot or riot or attack. And 196 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: getting rid of cops is the dumbest thing I have 197 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: ever heard in a public policy debate. It's honestly the 198 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: stupidest thing I've ever heard. What are we going to do? Then? 199 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: We're going to start sending in social workers? Have they 200 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: thought this through? Do they think that unarmed social workers 201 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: are going to want to be involved in violent domestic disputes? 202 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: You're going to send in a social worker if somebody's 203 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: calling the police because they're worried that there could be 204 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: a drive by in their neighborhood. I'm glad that social 205 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: worker will be there to say, hey, let's all be 206 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: nice to each other while the bullets are flying over 207 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: their heads. Could it be any dumber? No, But this 208 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: is where the Democrat Party is now, reckless demagoguery, brainwashing 209 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: and stupidity on a national scale to pretend they care 210 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: so much about minority communities. You know, all these MSNBC 211 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: anchors who are millionaires, who live in very safe areas, 212 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: who send their kids to private school, they're the first 213 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: ones to tell you, Oh, but you know, we don't 214 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: need so much police. Really, they should spend a few 215 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: nights in the highest crime areas of major cities, especially 216 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: these days, and walk around the streets and see how 217 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: they feel about cops after that. I have a feeling 218 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: it would change their tunes. But it's just a bunch 219 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: of virtue signaling cowards, just reveling in their demagoguery. That's 220 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: what they do, and that's what they care about. The 221 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: full text of of of what of your requests and 222 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: h make sure that you know, we sit down and 223 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: and go through it and see how we can implement. 224 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't believe that officers need to necessarily h have weapons. Uh, 225 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: you know every time they they're they're making a traffic 226 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 1: stop or or engaged in h situations that don't necessarily 227 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: call for for weapons. We know that there are other 228 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: many other jurisdictions or even around the world where that is, 229 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, necessarily the case it's not needed. So that's 230 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: the mayor of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which, as I understand 231 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: it has been a place that's very much deteriorated of 232 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: the last ten or fifteen years and much higher crime. 233 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: And this is this is someone who has a public platform, 234 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: has public power and trust, who's saying something that is 235 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: just is just shockingly stupid, but also somewhat commonplace these 236 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: days to say things that no rational person would think 237 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: is a good idea. Yes, because we have we've had 238 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: a major surge in violent crime in the country last year. 239 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: Now's the time, in a country with hundreds of millions 240 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: of firearms in circulation already, now's the time to tell 241 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: cops do your jobs, but don't be armed. That's what 242 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: the guys saying. Yeah, for traffic stops, don't don't be armed. Um, 243 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: perhaps the this individual doesn't spend much time on the internet, 244 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: he would know that a New Mexico State Police officer, 245 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: darry And Jarrett, was murdered just over the weekend. You didn't. 246 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: You didn't hear a lot about this one. Not a 247 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: lot of solidarity marches, and not a lot of people 248 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: walking around trying to raise awareness about the risk that 249 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: law enforcements. Law enforcement takes. Omar Felix Queva had a 250 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: rifle and executed Officer darry and Jarrett at close range 251 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: during a routine daylight traffic stop. But sure, let's give 252 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: our cops even less of a chance anytime they pull 253 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: over somebody who has an outstanding warrant for a violent crime, like, oh, 254 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: that's right. As we've now found out, because the stories 255 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: are never accurate in the early hours about the victims. 256 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: When BLM decide that somebody is one of their hallowed victims, 257 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: one of the one of the martyrs of the movement, 258 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: the initial story worries are never really true about their background. 259 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: That that's always the case. There's there's this you know, 260 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: we at first it's usually the person's you know, a 261 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: family man, an honor student and everything else. And then 262 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: when we say, well, hold on a second, this person actually, 263 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: in the case of George Floyd, for example, held a 264 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: gun to a pregnant woman's belly during a home invasion. 265 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: They said, that doesn't matter. Well, it mattered when we 266 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: had all these photos of somebody, you know, either in 267 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: their high school graduation cap and gown, or when we're 268 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: being told that they were an honor student or a 269 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: family man, or a hard working person or whatever whatever 270 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: it is, that's all to be said. But then we 271 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: find out the person either resisted or rest, had a 272 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: long criminal history, had a violent criminal history. In the 273 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: case of Dante Right, the individual, this individual held a 274 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: gun to a woman and tried to rob eight hundred 275 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: dollars from her. Okay, that's that, you know, arm armed robbery. 276 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: But if you talk about this so you're you're it's 277 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: a problem and understand this. That doesn't change anything about 278 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: the culpa of the officer, Officer Potter, but it does 279 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: affect the narrative and the perception of how these events 280 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: affect society, of how people should view these these situations. 281 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: Same thing where you bring up, you know, resisting arrest, 282 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: it is possible to say, don't resist arrest, Comma, and 283 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: this officer made a terrible mistake. Those are both true statements. 284 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: You should not resist arrest, you should not violently fight 285 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: with cops when they're trying to rescue, and you, if 286 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: you're a cop, you gotta be able to discern, even 287 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: in very tense moments, between your taser or your fire 288 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: or or else. You shouldn't be a cop. It's that simple. 289 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: I remember when you know, when I was, when I 290 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: was overseas, it was just on all the basis. I 291 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: mean an a D. If you got an and I 292 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: mean an a D out on the range, accidental discharge, 293 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: an a D. You know, walk into the to the 294 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: dining hall or whatever, if you fire off around by 295 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: accident you or you were going home, basically you were done, 296 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: even if no one was hurt. So you know, that's 297 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: the It's a cardinal rule of firearms safety. And obviously 298 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: Officer Potters is paying, in our own way, a very 299 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: high price for this. But we're gonna we're gonna disarmed 300 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: It was defund police, now it's gonna be disarmed police. 301 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: Who's gonna want to take these jobs? I know there's 302 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot of law enforcement that listens to this show 303 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: all across the country, and I couldn't. I couldn't tell 304 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: them in good in good faith, Yeah, keep doing your job, 305 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: especially if you're in a relatively high crime area, you know, 306 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I have I have an uncle who is 307 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: a police officer in south central for fifteen years, police 308 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: officer in south central Los Angeles. I'm gonna tell him 309 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: to walk around without a firearm and to go up 310 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: to people and get involved in disputes and pull them 311 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: over and try to write them a ticket and try 312 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: to you know, one of the most dangerous things cops 313 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: do is in fact, traffic stops. But you see the 314 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: voices out there right now that get attention for the 315 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: Democrat media aren't people who actually know anything about law enforcement, 316 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: about you so force incidents. They're people that appeal to 317 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: the masses with their emotions, you know, they're They're the 318 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: people at MSNBC who just oh, they're just channeling all 319 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: this emotion right now, But then they say things that 320 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: end up hurting people when they're implemented. There are negative 321 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: consequences to bad ideas. Something we always have to remember. 322 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: This stuff is not without a cost. But the people 323 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: who bear the cost are not you know, wealthy upper 324 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: middle class journalists or well off or wealthy TV news 325 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: anchors or people who are making pr decisions at big corporations. No, 326 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: they don't pay the price. No. Instead, the people that 327 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: are the most likely to suffer from violent crimes in 328 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: the neighborhoods in the first place, their percentages just go up. 329 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: And when things get worse, and that sense of misery 330 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: and foreboding that exists. And I mean, I've I've spent, 331 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: because of my time the NYPD, considerable time in the 332 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: actual worst neighborhoods in New York City, and I can 333 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: tell you that it feels like a different place than 334 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: the wealthier or even just more run of the mill 335 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: parts in terms of crime of New York City. And 336 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: I wish some of these journos would do the same, 337 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 1: because maybe they would shut their mouths. There's so much 338 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: you're just not allowed to say about COVID and lockdowns. 339 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: It's very frustrating. As you know, it's been one of 340 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: the things that's made me particularly angry at the big 341 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: tech corporations. I mean, I think I'm one of the 342 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: most vocal anti fauci voices out there, and I know 343 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: there are some others, and I appreciate them. By the way, 344 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: I feel a real solidarity with them. But I've got 345 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: to tell you, the way that big tech has weighed 346 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: on this stuff, it's just appalling. It's awful the way 347 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: that they've shut down free and open exchange of ideas. 348 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: And you know that if you've tried to share your 349 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: political opinions in general, these days, it's really difficult to 350 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: have a civil conversation. You get attacked by trolls, you 351 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: get swarmed by lunatics. Well that's why there's caucus Room 352 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: dot com.

Join the Buck Sexton Listeners group on 365 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: caucus room dot com that c au cus r oom 366 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: dot com to interact with other listeners just like you 367 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: Caucus room dot com. Let's talk about if you have 368 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: received the J and J vaccine. A lot of folks 369 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: are probably wondering what should I do, what should I 370 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: look out for. What's your advice to them? Well, the 371 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: first bit of advice is really don't worry very much because, 372 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: just as we've said, it's a very very rare event. 373 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: That's the first thing. The second thing, the bracket of 374 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: time when this occurs was between six and thirteen days, 375 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: so it's between one and two weeks. So if you've 376 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: got your vaccine several weeks ago, then it makes it 377 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: even less likely that you should have any concern at all. 378 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: If you've had it within a few days, just stay 379 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: heads up for symptoms severe headache, abdominal pain, chest pain, 380 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: things like that. But again underscoring Savannah, it is a 381 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: very very rare wind event, so you don't want people 382 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: who've just received the vaccine to be overly worried about this. 383 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: This is a rare occurrence. The pause is just as 384 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: an abundance of caution to really scope out the situation 385 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more close. The pause is an abundance 386 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: of caution. You know, you got to mitigate because there 387 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: could be a diminution of the parabellic upswing of the 388 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: hypotheses of the Isosceles triangle. And you know, I really 389 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: do feel like sometimes this guy is just broke it 390 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 1: into a few high school textbooks and wants to just 391 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: throw out a bunch of a bunch of science sounding jargon, 392 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: math and science jargon at us. You know, when you 393 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: have Savannah, you get the shot, and when the photosynthesis 394 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: kicks in and you have the oxo ribo nucleic acid 395 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: that is a part of the overall you know Dalwinnian 396 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: notion of it. Just just blabber right that. But people 397 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: go home, doctor Foucher, You're so smart. Doctor Foucher's so smart. 398 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: He's such a smart man. What are we doing? So 399 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: now it's don't worry. Yesterday was pause the vaccine. Now 400 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: it's don't worry. And I just want to say when 401 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: I tell you guys, because I'm thinking about this all 402 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: the time, and I know I get I get a 403 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: lot of feedback from you all, and I want the FEEDBA. 404 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: I want you to tell me what you think about 405 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: what we're doing here. You you are this show. This 406 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: show is for you, and I want to know what 407 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: you're thinking. So send us an email at Team Bucket, 408 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com, or send me a message on Facebook 409 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: or Instagram. Just type in Buck Sexton on what comes 410 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: up send a message. I see it. Producer Mark sees 411 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: it too, but I see it. And because on the vaccines, 412 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear, I'm not trying to 413 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, push any water, bully anyone in anything. People say, Buck, 414 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: why would you get the vaccine You've already had COVID? 415 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: And I say, I know, isn't it so stupid? The 416 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: only reason that I would get that. I'm scheduled to 417 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: get a vaccine in about sixty days, so in a while, 418 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: because I do it, I've got anybodies in my system, 419 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: I've already had the virus, and in a short period 420 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: of time, I'm going to introduce that same immune response 421 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: through this, you know, genetic coding response or whatever. I mean, 422 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: very just you know, very few people understand how these 423 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: vaccines actually work. This is not your standard. This isn't 424 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: putting just dead virus into your system. This is something else. 425 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: But the reason that I've said I would do it, 426 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to push anybody else here. I'm 427 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: just saying because I in New York, where I currently 428 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: live and my family is, and where I work, they 429 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: have already started to experiment with vaccine passports, and you know, 430 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: so I'm willing to take the risk more so so 431 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: I can live a normal I can live a normal life. 432 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: But I agree with some of you say, well, isn't 433 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: that a little bit? I mean, I'm so anti mask 434 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: as you know, outdoor masking moronic, zero reason to do that. 435 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: Indoor masking and limited circumstances at sometimes, you know, maybe, 436 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: but in general, I mean, I think mask mandates don't work. 437 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: I think mask mandates are a disaster. And I think 438 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: that masking is the initial knee bending that leads to 439 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: all this other madness in our society. I actually shared 440 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: this was actually this is great I shared on Twitter today. 441 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: If you haven't you probably you also all should be 442 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: following me on Twitter please if you're not already, And 443 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: it's this. It was almost exactly a year ago. It 444 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: was like a year and a week ago there was 445 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: a piece in the Washington Post. I'm just waiting for 446 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: this too. I'm just waiting for this to be taken 447 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: down or for social media companies to come after me. 448 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: This is the right below the democracy dies in darkness. 449 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: You know header in the Washington Post everyone wore flu 450 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: masks during the nineteen eighteen I'm sorry, everyone wore masks 451 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: during the nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That 452 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: was in the Washington Post a year ago. Everyone wore 453 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: masks during the nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. 454 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: That was the headline, not that they didn't work that well. Useless. 455 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: And you know what that line is. That line is 456 00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: taken from the considered this seminal work of history on 457 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: the Spanish flu pandemic of nineteen eighteen. The author just writes, Look, 458 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: they did this everywhere. Didn't do a damn thing, but 459 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: people were obsessed, and there was mask fashion, and there 460 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: was you know, mask all kinds of stuff. Right. Oh, 461 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, how do you where does your where should 462 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: you shave your mustache? A lot of mustaches back? Then? 463 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Where should you save shave your mustache so that it 464 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: doesn't affect your mask and all this stuff, and they 465 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: were useless, was the quote. Now, if I say that today, 466 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: I get kicked off social media and treated like a troglodyte. 467 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: But this was in the Washington Post, friends, a year ago. 468 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: And what's amazing is the sheeple out there, mate, mate, 469 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: they they see stuff like this. And when I point 470 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: this out to them, or I of course show them 471 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: the Fauci lines from a year ago, you know, you 472 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: know it may it may actually make you feel a 473 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: little better, but you know, when you're out into crowd, 474 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: you know it doesn't do anything to wear a mask. 475 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: They say, well, but the science has changed, Oh yeah, 476 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: how and then they point to some uh, some not 477 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: real world study they point to essentially sprang water through 478 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: a mask and saying, well, there's less vapor. So since 479 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: there's less vapor, there's there's you know, it's effective, it's 480 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: stopping the virus. And then then you show them all 481 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,239 Speaker 1: these CDC studies. There was a big one, I think 482 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: it was up in Canada because they say, well, doctors 483 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: to wear them, and you say, okay, Well, the CDC 484 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: study fromp in Canada about masks during flu season for 485 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: dentists specifically for for dental personnel. Showed the dentists who 486 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: wear masks during procedures versus those who don't. No change 487 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: in the transmission for those healthcare personnel during the flu season. 488 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: And it was a pretty big So that's a real 489 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: world study. And there's tons of this out there if 490 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: you want to see it. The Danish mask study. Oh well, 491 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: yeah that you know. Sure it didn't stop people from 492 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: getting it, but you could not give it to another 493 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: person if you have it on and they have it. 494 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: There's always there's always an excuse, right, there's always an excuse. 495 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: The CDC numbers on mask mandates within the margin of error. 496 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: That's how well the mandate works. But you can't bring 497 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: this up. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not letting this go 498 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: because friends, they're they're trying to change the wiring in 499 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: our brains with all this stuff. They are making you 500 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: a compliant little stooge. And I hate it. I resent 501 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: it every They do it to me too, because you'll say, well, buck, 502 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: do you wear a mask in New York? I have. 503 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: They will evict me from my home if I don't, 504 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: I will be kicked out of the grocery store. I 505 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: will I will get you know, even more dad bod 506 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: going on here without even being a dad. Because I 507 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: can't go to the gym, all these things will happen. 508 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: I have no I have no choice. And if they 509 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: call the police, the police will enforce against me. They 510 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: will arrest me. Right so I am. I'm not conceived 511 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: to their argument. I'm conceding to their superior force. I tried. 512 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: I went maskless for months and months and months. Then 513 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: I was told deal man, everyone's complaining about you. This 514 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: is getting out of control. Oh and by the way, 515 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: since I got the virus two months ago when I 516 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: was walking around with no mask on, was I ever infected? No? 517 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: Did I ever put anyone at risk? We know for 518 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: a fact scientifically no. I did not. Never, there was 519 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: no risk, zero risk. But you're not allowed see once again, 520 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to observe. There's a war on observation 521 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: right now that the Democrats and the left are waging. 522 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: You don't know what you're seeing, you don't know what's 523 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: really happening. You're not allowed to even say, hold on 524 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: a second, they're pausing a vaccine. If you had called 525 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: for a vaccine pause on your Facebook page two weeks ago. 526 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: If you had said, guys, I just I've read some 527 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: data on Johnson and Johnson, and you know something's going 528 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: on here. We gotta really look into this boom. Facebook 529 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: would lock you out, they'd shut you down, they take 530 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: your accountaway. Think of the effect that that has on 531 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: our conversation about this. This is the new public square. 532 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: They are the phone company, you know, circa nineteen fifty. 533 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: This is how people communicate, and they control it. The 534 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: biggest enemies of free speech and free expression in the 535 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: country right now are the most powerful platforms of communication 536 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: in the world. This is the great ironyore dealing with. 537 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: But the point I'm making about the vaccines is does 538 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: that change the thinking at all for the people that 539 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: believe that they have all this figured out? Does that 540 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: change the hubrists and the arrogant mentality of those who say, oh, 541 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: I just listen to the science, I just listen to Fauci. 542 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: How many times did those guys get to be wrong 543 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: before a normal person would say, maybe something's up here now. 544 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: I saw, for example, the Tucker monologue. Lass Tucker did 545 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: the monologue last not on this, and he kept saying, 546 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: why do they want us to wear masks after we're vaccinated. 547 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: He posed this question, and he didn't get to I 548 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: know what their answer is. Even after vaccination, there's a 549 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: tiny percentage of people who could still get infected, five 550 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: percent by the Fiser numbers, whatever it is. And so 551 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: if it saves just one life, this is the this 552 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: is the well spring of all the tyranny. If it 553 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: could theoretically save just one life, you have to deal 554 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: with this for our health policy. Faucism. The fauci i'd 555 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: consensus is the speed limit must now be ten miles 556 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: an hour. That is what has happened in this country, 557 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: where the speed limit now must be ten miles an hour. 558 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: And if you don't like it, you can't drive, you 559 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: can't leave your home, actually, and we'll arrest you if 560 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: you do anything else. It's not the country I want 561 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: to live in. It's not a country I'm going to 562 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: accept either. And the grubby little fingers of the states 563 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: authoritarian democrats here, they're not taking they're not taking their 564 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: hands off the wheels of power. They're not going to 565 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: do it. They want to control you. They want to 566 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: keep this going as long as possible. They like you compliant, 567 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: they like you scared, stay home, wear a mask, don't 568 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: see people, do what we tell you, get whatever shots 569 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: we tell you. Do you think that that upsets the 570 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: Nanni state leftists or is this a dream come true 571 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: in terms of the power they have. It could be 572 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: that possibly someone who's had COVID like myself, could they 573 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: be reinfected. They're very small numbers of it, but guess what, 574 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: almost none of them are really getting sick. You're not 575 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: reading stories of oh my goodness, thousands of people being reinfected, 576 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: they're in the hospital and they're dying. Those stories don't exist. 577 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: You'll read about a random, very rare person getting reinfected 578 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: or getting infected when they've been vaccinated. But the good 579 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: news is that even if you got infected from COVID, 580 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: after you've been vaccinated, you have some immunity, you have 581 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: partial immunity, and it lessens the degree or significance of 582 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: the disease. So almost everything out there's good news. This 583 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: is why I so much think doctor Fauci should be 584 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: voluntarily removed from TV because what he says is such 585 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: a disservice and such fear monitoring, and almost all of 586 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: what he says isn't even matched by the science of 587 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: his own institute. So really what we need to do 588 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: is here from a lot of different experts, and then 589 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: people need to realize that the risk factors are different 590 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: depending on your age. You mentioned that Johnson and Johnson 591 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: vaccine very very safe, and if you're over eighty, without question, 592 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: it's the only one you can get, take it. If 593 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: you're over seventy, take it, But it does depend on 594 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: your age. If you're under twenty five, the chance of 595 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: dying from this is one in a million. So your 596 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: risk factors do depend on whether you judge whether you 597 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: take a vaccine. It's not the same for everybody. Everything 598 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: Senator around Paul all is saying there is provably demonstrably true. 599 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: But do you ever do you ever hear this? I mean, 600 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: they've there have been teachers unions that as part of 601 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: their demands, and the teachers unions have just shown what 602 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: a disgraceful, disgusting mess they are in the past year. 603 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 1: Just just thuggish Democrat political machinery. It's all the teachers 604 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: unions are good for. But the truth here, with everything 605 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: that's going on, the truth of the situation is that 606 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: we can't have real conversations about risk we can't actually 607 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: have real discussions about who's at risk and who's not. 608 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: They wanted children, Teachers Union wanted children to get vaccinated. 609 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: Why kids, The kids are fine. But what they do 610 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: is they say that's not true. Kids can still get it. 611 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: And they'll point and they'll say, look, you know, one 612 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: hundred children have died believed to have died from COVID 613 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: in the United States. Okay, I mean that's one hundred 614 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: children out of a country three hundred and thirty million people. 615 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: There are viruses that you know, that are that are 616 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: floating around in the air all the time, that kids 617 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: can still get they can die. We have to accept 618 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: that there's not a zero mortality future from COVID. That's 619 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: not realistic. That's not going to happen, just like there's 620 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: not a zero mortality from flu future for the world. So, 621 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, the people that have pushed for all this stuff, 622 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: the lockdowners, you gotta understand what their next moves are 623 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: gonna be. We keep seeing these reports, Oh, the vaccines 624 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: are effective for six months. Okay, what happens then we're 625 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: gonna are we supposed to go through this every year? Oh? 626 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: And you know, you can't actually see people and do things. 627 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 1: You gotta get the second and then what about when 628 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: the booster, you know, doesn't work on the new variant 629 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: or something. I mean, you're just gonna We're all gonna 630 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,959 Speaker 1: go insane. I mean, we're all just gonna completely lose 631 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: our minds over this stuff over time. And I think 632 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people have. I believe that mass media 633 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: has combined to create, combined with mass hysteria, create the 634 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: environment we're currently living in. You've never had so many 635 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: hysterics able to reach out and talk to so many 636 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 1: other hysterics that at one point in human history speaking 637 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: of hysterics, here's CNN with their I guess he's still 638 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: unpaid as a contributor. But doctor Fauci, who really, you 639 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: know he's I know he's at the National Institute of 640 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: Allergy and Infectious Disease, but he really should just be 641 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: chirond as favorite CNN and MSNBC guest, because they're also 642 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: emotionally and professionally invested in this guy not being a 643 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: little tyrannical moron, which I think he is. But here's 644 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: CNN talking about what Tucker said on his monologue, which 645 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: I brought up before Place six TV personality Tucker Carlson 646 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: said on TV about vaccines in general. He said, if 647 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: the vaccine, if vaccines are effective, there's no reason for 648 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: people who have received the vaccine to wear masks or 649 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesn't work and they're 650 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: simply not telling you that. Let me repeat that again. 651 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling 652 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: you that. What do you have to say to Tucker Carlson. Yeah, 653 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: that's just the typical crazy conspiracy theory. Why would we 654 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: not tell people if it doesn't work? Look at the data. 655 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: The data are overwhelming. In the three vaccines that have 656 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: been approved for use in an emergency use authimization, the 657 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: Jay and Jay, the Fiser, and the Moderna. You had 658 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: thirty thousand, forty four thousand, and forty thousand people in 659 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: a clinical trial with an overwhelming signal of efficacy. So 660 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't have any idea what he's talking about. How 661 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: dangerous is it for a TV personality like that, who 662 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,479 Speaker 1: does have an audience of millions to speculate about something 663 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: like that. Well, it's certainly not helpful to the public 664 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: health of this nation or even globally. You know, I 665 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: don't want to get into arguments about Tucker Carlson, But 666 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: to me, it's just, you know, it's counter to what 667 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: we were trying to accomplish to protect the same in 668 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: the health of the American public. Why can't that little 669 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: fascists tell us when we can stop wearing masks? When 670 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: give us a date or give us the numbers, give 671 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: us the metrics. Why can't give up the control? Better 672 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: to attack Tucker Carlson for asking that was a question 673 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: that he brought up in the context of a fifteen 674 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: minute monologue where it's clear he's not anti vaccines and 675 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: he's not saying they don't work. He's just trying to 676 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,959 Speaker 1: work through a problem that we're not allowed to really 677 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: talk about because the lockdowners are authoritarians. You know. I'm 678 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: actually the process of trying to find an employee or 679 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: two to join some of my Freedom Hunt activities. And 680 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: it's a tough out there right now because you've got 681 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: people that don't necessarily know if they're could be able 682 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: to stay remote in their job. I mean, they like it, 683 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: maybe they don't. There's all this change that's currently going on, 684 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,919 Speaker 1: and I think we're just beginning to see how much 685 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: our work life balance has really shifted as a result 686 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: of these pandemic policies, but it's it's getting more complicated 687 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 1: all the time, and that just reminds me that when 688 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: you're running a business, HR issues can kill you.

President Joe Biden has 706 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: announced that he plans to pull US troops out of 707 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: Afghanistan by September eleventh of this year, clearly noting the 708 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: symbolism here of that day and an end to award 709 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: that has raged for twenty years we have been deployed 710 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. We've had US military in Afghanistan for twenty years. 711 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: And I remember I was in Afghanistan a decade ago. 712 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: The situation then was largely the same as the situation now, 713 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: except there were far more troops in the country at 714 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: that time. But the same things you'd hear about how 715 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 1: the Taliban is on the offensive, and the central government 716 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: is corrupt and weak in an effective and their forces 717 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: toe to toe without US support won't be able to 718 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: go won't be able to go up in battle against 719 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: the Taliban without losing. And I just remember thinking that 720 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 1: everyone that I knew who was handling that issue at 721 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: the highest levels, honestly of the intelligence community in the 722 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: US government, was very negative on the long term product 723 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: that was in twenty ten, very negative on the prospects 724 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan's future and felt like we could stay and 725 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: just keep holding it together, or eventually realized that enough 726 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: is enough. Well, the same voice is the very hawkish 727 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: Republican voices that you always hear on this point are 728 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: out there telling you, oh, we we shouldn't do it. 729 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: Here here he is the guy I've never seen. Lindsey 730 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: Graham has never seen a troop deployment or a war 731 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: that even't like. As far as I can tell, I 732 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: don't know what it is with this guy always looking 733 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: to bomb another country and show what it's wrong. So 734 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: it gets applause from the think tank set on K 735 00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: Street in DC. Here he is play eleven. Biden's become 736 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: an incredibly destabilizing American president. He took a border that 737 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: was pretty calm and turned it into chaos. The Mid 738 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: East had been transformed on Trump's watch, where the Arabs 739 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: were working with Israelis and had Iran in a box. 740 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: He's taken Iran and let him out of the box. 741 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: They're talking about enriching uranium at sixty percent now, which 742 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: is a direct threat to the existence of the state 743 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 1: of Israel. The Russians are challenging him in the Ukraine, 744 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: and now he is withdrawing forces in Afghanistan against sound 745 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: military advice. To all of you who are listening, you 746 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 1: remember where you're at. On September eleventh, two thousand and one, 747 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: our military told President Biden that if you withdraw all 748 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: of our forces, al Qaeda and ISIS will come roaring back. 749 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: Afghanistan would disintegrate into civil war, and we can avoid 750 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: all of that by having three to five thousand American 751 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: forces making sure that ISIS and al Kada never come 752 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: back to hurt us. He rejected that advice. Afghanistan is 753 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: going to tear rate pretty rapidly. Awkada and ISIS are 754 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: going to come back. He's paving the way for another 755 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,439 Speaker 1: nine eleven. Now, I want to be very clear that 756 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: I don't care that Joe Biden is a Democrat, and 757 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: I don't care that this may not be the most 758 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,959 Speaker 1: popular thing to say on conservative talk radio right now. 759 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: I think the war in Afghanistan needs to end. I 760 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 1: wanted Trump to end it. I wanted Trump to end 761 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: our military presence. He did not. I want Biden to 762 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: end our military presence. I'm not going to do this thing. 763 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: I'm not going to play this game of saying I 764 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: want other men and women down range fighting, you know, 765 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan when it politically suits me. No, you know 766 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: how I felt during the Trump years, I wanted the 767 00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: president to end our military involvement in Afghanistan. I am 768 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: going to stand on that same viewpoint now, all right there. 769 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 1: Otherwise what I am I'm just you know, look, I 770 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: know there's so many conservatives out there, is in the 771 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: media that's just all about I mean, just raising donor 772 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 1: money and like, you know, maga hats when it's popular, 773 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: and then you know, oh, they're all of a sudden, 774 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, they're hi ekei and free market pioneers when 775 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: they think that's popular, and then back to the maga 776 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: hat they say whatever they've got to say. You all 777 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: know that I want the war in Afghanistan, our involvement, 778 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: I should say, to end there. So I'm not going 779 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: to pretend that that's not what I wanted. If I 780 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: wanted it under Trump last year, I want it under 781 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 1: Biden now. So I'm not going to do this thing 782 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: and hit him for yet. Is the border a mess 783 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: because of Biden? One hundred percent? Everything else that I've 784 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 1: said about that stuff is that all stays, but I 785 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 1: do think the war in Afghanistan are part of the 786 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: war in Afghanistan needs to end, and I understand that 787 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 1: that is there's a very real possibility the Taliban will 788 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 1: end up taking over substantial control there. And I will 789 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: tell you right now that I will if there is 790 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: a terrorist attack plan from Afghan soil that involves the 791 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: Afghan regime, the Taliban, whatever part it may be, I 792 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: will advocate for a not a US military you know, 793 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 1: pinprick invasion, but scorched earth and whatever we gotta do, 794 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: however we gotta do it. Not not letting them take 795 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: another generation of Americans, you know, twenty years worth of 796 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: people who are serving in the military and wound them 797 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 1: and kill them. And we're trying to create democracy. No, no, no, 798 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 1: if they if they if they poke the dragon again, 799 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: we go back breathing whatever fire we have to. That 800 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: should be our attitude. It's the way it used to be. 801 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: So it's the old approach in America when we when 802 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: someone decides that they're going to attack us, we go back. 803 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: We hit them with everything we've got until they can't 804 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,760 Speaker 1: hit us anymore. And that's that. So that really should 805 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: be the attitude. I think it's not that we're going 806 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,879 Speaker 1: to go rebuild other people's countries for them, and that 807 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: has been the case for for a while. Now. Now 808 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: I understand people say it's a relatively small military presence. Yeah, 809 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: but maybe in three years it won't be relatively small. 810 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: Maybe the Taliban becomes ascended. In our three thousand troops 811 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 1: there's not enough. And now now we're going to get 812 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: deeper and deeper into it. You know, there is the 813 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 1: quagmire theory of how these things work. It's it's it's 814 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: not a lie. This can happen. Marco Ruby another, You've 815 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: got all these Republican foreign policy hawks, you know, making 816 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 1: sure that the raytheon stock stays where it is and 817 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: keeps going up. Here's Marco Rubio plate twelve. Well, that 818 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: was a decision that began under President Trump, and so 819 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: they've just what they've announced is that they're going to 820 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: stick with President Trump's decision with regards to Afghanistan. Look, 821 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: the outcome is going to be a terrible thing. The Taliban, 822 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: I believe, will eventually take over the country as they 823 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,400 Speaker 1: were in charge before, and it's not going to be 824 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 1: a good outcome. The flip side of it is that 825 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the pathway to a better future 826 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: in the near term ones. And you know, given all 827 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: the other needs we're facing around the world. You know, 828 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: once President Trump made that decision, I think the die 829 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,399 Speaker 1: was cast in that regarden. Do you think the US 830 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: has made enough progress on training the Afghan security force? 831 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I hope, so I don't have a tremendous 832 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: amount of I hope I'm wrong because of the implications, 833 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: but I don't have a lot of faith that the 834 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: current government Afghanistan will be able to survive or hold 835 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: on for long the Taliban. My personal opinion everything I 836 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: mean I know is I think the Taliban will have 837 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: an Afghan againstand control by the Taliban again, and that 838 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: not a good outcome. But it's a direction that we're headed, 839 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: and the previous administration agreed to that. The current administration 840 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 1: stuck with it, and that's where we're going. That's where 841 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 1: we should go. And I'll have to revisit this, you know, 842 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: maybe in a year, maybe in eighteen months, because I 843 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 1: think what Mark Rubio says here, he understands the basic 844 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: facts and storyline of this. The gods, the Senate form 845 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: relation committee. I mean he's he's pretty he's pretty knowledgeable 846 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: about this stuff. Yeah, the Taliban will be ascendant, and 847 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,359 Speaker 1: there's a chance of Taliban will take over much, not all, 848 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: but much of the country, and perhaps they will then 849 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: forward some kind of a power sharing agreement. But it's 850 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: not my problem. You know, We've we've gone through this, right, 851 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: we remember, we're rock. We try to build a better country, 852 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: and then they want you know now they want us out, 853 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: and then we had Isis and all this stuff, and 854 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: we're all told, oh, we're imperialless in American. Now we 855 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: we've done this, we try to go in and get 856 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 1: rid of the bad dictators and get rid of the 857 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: Jihatas and build nice societies. Nope, enough, I'm not I 858 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,799 Speaker 1: don't want anyone being sent on our behalf as the 859 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 1: American people, to go do this anymore. You know, what 860 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: we really need to be concerned about is if things 861 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: get really hot with China in the next five to 862 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: ten years, are we ready for that? All? Right, Afghanistan 863 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: is done. Well, we we've been through this. We've done 864 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: everything that we can do. Well, we'll still give them 865 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 1: aid and you know, the things you gotta remember there's 866 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,240 Speaker 1: also going to be support, back channel support and stuff 867 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 1: that you know, you can't talk about publicly that's going 868 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: to be going on where the US government's gonna be 869 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 1: helping the Afghan government. That's obviously going to happen, but 870 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: it's just no longer going to be our military presence 871 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 1: holding this whole place together. And people say, well, what 872 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: about South Korea and what about Germany? The Taliban isn't 873 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 1: about to take over Germany. I mean, there's not an 874 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: imminent threat of war in these countries. So those are 875 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: strategic military bases with host partner nations that actually want 876 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: us for the most part in country, and our troops 877 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: are not at any risk in Germany, or in South Korea, 878 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: or or in Japan. So that's a very different circumstance, 879 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: isn't it. If the Nazis were still running around Germany 880 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: controlling you know, the whole states, you know, the Nazis 881 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,959 Speaker 1: were running Bavaria as the Taliban is running parts of Afghanistan, 882 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: and then you'd have a more similar circumstance. But it's 883 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: time to go. And you know, like I said, I 884 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: know a lot of people change their stuff. I know 885 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: there you know, there are people who as radio hosts 886 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: were calling Trump an idiot and he's awful, and then 887 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: they were the big Trump cheerleaders, even they were pretending 888 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 1: they weren't. I thought we should have ended Afghanistan under Trump, 889 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 1: and this is the timeline that the Trump administration then 890 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: sent out. Biden's going to stay with it. I believe 891 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: this is the right move, and I think it will 892 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: get ugly. I think there will be cost to this, 893 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: but it's not I couldn't sit here and say, if 894 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: you made me Secretary of Defense, I could not sit 895 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: here and say to you the American people, including all 896 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 1: the people listening to this who are active and former military. 897 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 1: We've got people in the Special Operations community who listened 898 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: to the show. We have seals, we have sf we 899 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: have Marines who listened to this show. I could not 900 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 1: say to them, yeah, I want you to I want 901 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: you to stay in Afghanistan. I think this mission is 902 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 1: worth it. And I certainly couldn't say to any other ears, 903 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 1: I want to put your children in harm's way for 904 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: this mission set. And so if that's how I feel, 905 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 1: would I send my own son if I had one, 906 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 1: to secure Hellman Province at this point, if I were 907 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense, no, I would not, so come 908 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,760 Speaker 1: what may. That's how I feel about this, and I'm 909 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: not going to trash this policy because the Biden administration 910 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: is following through on it. Our troops, our national security 911 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: is more important than those kinds of games. There is 912 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 1: a process that the federal government can engage in right now. 913 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,760 Speaker 1: They can collect some of the data which was started 914 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: in the Obama administrations flowing the Trumpet administration use of force. 915 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,360 Speaker 1: They can make an assessment of use of force departments 916 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 1: that appear to have too much use of force. You 917 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: strength and consent decrease. You come in, you say these 918 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: people who have engaged in this behavior, you will lose 919 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,800 Speaker 1: all of your federal funding if these people are not fired. 920 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 1: This is a breakdown as to what this police department 921 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: does on a regular basis. You're only dealing with violent 922 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 1: crime fifteen percent of time, so you only need to 923 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: have fifteen percent of your force officers prepared for that. 924 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,479 Speaker 1: The rest of this is traffic stuff. Increase the number 925 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: of cops who handle traffic they don't necessarily have to 926 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 1: have guns. Increase the amount of social workers that you 927 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: have since you don't have cops negotiating domestic violence instances. 928 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: There are plans out there, there are things the federal 929 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: government can do. This is a lack of will on 930 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 1: the part of an administration, not a lack of ideas, 931 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: and not a lack of resources. That's all very dumb. 932 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,240 Speaker 1: The stuff that's being said there. This is Jason Johnson 933 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,800 Speaker 1: on MSNBC. The things that he's saying come from somebody 934 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: who does not know what the heck he's talking about, 935 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,320 Speaker 1: does not understand law enforcement, does not know the job. 936 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 1: But he's a journalist and he's saying the things that 937 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,120 Speaker 1: you're supposed to say. Now, if you're going to go 938 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: on TV, on MSNBC, for example, I mean, this is 939 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: just ignorance. Now, this is actually just parading of ignorance 940 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,760 Speaker 1: on TV. Oh, we'll just send unarmed cops to domestic 941 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 1: domestic violence or domestic disturbance calls. Does he know that one? 942 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,439 Speaker 1: That's one of the most common calls that police get. 943 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: But also domestic violence calls often result in violence against 944 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 1: police officers. Now, when I say often, as a percentage 945 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: of overall incidents of attacks on law enforcement, it's not 946 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: hard to see how this happens. Husband and wife are 947 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 1: fighting it's a terrible thing. Happens all over the countries, 948 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, and you know it's a terrible thing when 949 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,399 Speaker 1: it gets violent. I'm not talking about arguing over who 950 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: does the dishes. You know, some kind of spousal abuses occurred, 951 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 1: Tempers are flaring, emotions are running very high, and you know, 952 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 1: police are on the scene, and all of a sudden, 953 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,360 Speaker 1: the police might have to make an arrest, and maybe 954 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: that husband decides that he's gonna go for his legal 955 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 1: or illegal firearm, and you know, just prove some kind 956 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: of crazy point, right, I mean, you don't know this 957 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,839 Speaker 1: stuff happens. I mean, can you imagine who's gonna want 958 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: this job. You're gonna be an unarmed cop who's going 959 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,879 Speaker 1: into someone's home where there's a report of some kind 960 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 1: of a domestic dispute, and you're gonna hope that no 961 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,280 Speaker 1: one reaches for a meat cleaver when your back is turned. 962 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 1: Do you want that job? It's It's remarkable, isn't it. 963 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: It's remarkable. This is the stuff that's being said. Oh, 964 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 1: traffic stops. We just had a cop executed during a 965 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,400 Speaker 1: traffic stop. He had no idea that guy was going 966 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 1: to come out of the car with a rifle and 967 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,400 Speaker 1: shoot him and then in the shot the cop multiple 968 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 1: times in the ground tune really to execute him, make 969 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: sure he's dead. It's horrible. The cop was a routine 970 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: traffic stop, broad daylight side of the highway. But let's 971 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,399 Speaker 1: let's take the guns out of the CoP's hands then, 972 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: because I mean we're talking about what here with the 973 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 1: with the mix up of the taser and the firearm. 974 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 1: This has happened about fifteen times in the last twenty years. 975 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, whatever since whenever tasers really became in such 976 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 1: common usage. I think it's about ten or fifteen years ago. 977 00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: But so let's say in the last decade or so, 978 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 1: it's been fifteen times. This has happened millions and millions 979 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 1: and millions of police use of force incidents where they 980 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 1: had to wrestle somebody to the ground, they to do something. 981 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: This is a tragedy, but it's also at some level 982 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 1: a freak accident. It just it was somebody who panicked 983 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,279 Speaker 1: in the moment, a law enforce officer panicked and made 984 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: a terrible error. And now she's facing second degree manslaughter 985 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 1: charges for it. I mean, she's charged. I knew she 986 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,280 Speaker 1: was going to be maybe this was what everyone's expecting. 987 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 1: And I've seen now she is charged with secondary manslaughter, 988 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: and I think that they're probably going to get her. 989 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: She might even end up taking a plea because she 990 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,279 Speaker 1: faces up to ten years social My guess is she 991 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: might plead to a lesser offense and then she'll end 992 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 1: up maybe spending two or three years in prison. But 993 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 1: her life is ruined. I mean, her life is ruined, destroyed, 994 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,799 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to just focus on that because 995 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: I know also a life was lost here from Dante. Right, 996 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 1: he's dead, right, he doesn't get he doesn't get another 997 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: day ever, a free life. I understand. That's terrible tread 998 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 1: terrible tragedy. Right. It's one thing to resist arrest and 999 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,840 Speaker 1: be taser it's nothing to be shot and killed. We 1000 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 1: know these are very different circumstances, very different outcomes, and 1001 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 1: it's the whole thing is said, but we need to 1002 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 1: speak honestly about what's going on here and what would 1003 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: make the situation better. I mean, consenticrees for police departments. 1004 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 1: Every cop you talked, you would say, this is just 1005 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, if one police officer shoots himself in the 1006 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 1: knee because he mishandles his firearm. That doesn't mean we 1007 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: disarm all the cops. If one police officer, you know, 1008 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,480 Speaker 1: fumbled his gun and shot an innocent bystander, which is 1009 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 1: not all you know, it's a little bit different than 1010 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: this case because it was resisting arrest. But you know 1011 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: what I mean, that doesn't mean you're going to disarm 1012 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: all the cops. There's you know, cops are imperfect. They 1013 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 1: make mistakes too. We got seven hundred thousand law enforcement 1014 00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: officers in the country. We got about a little over 1015 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: a dozen that have actually mistaken their taser for a 1016 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 1: firearm over the course of years and years and years. 1017 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: This is not a systemic problem. This is not a 1018 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: problem that can be easily addressed because it is so 1019 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: infrequent and random that there's no training that's going to 1020 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,640 Speaker 1: deal with this. But so what do they do all 1021 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 1: the other stuff that the anti cop left wants to 1022 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 1: talk about now, they just start talking about that as 1023 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 1: though it would help this problem, when we all know 1024 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 1: it will do nothing. I got to talk to you 1025 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 1: in a second here about wokeness in the schools. There's 1026 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 1: just so much of it these days. They are not 1027 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: just brainwashing kids. I think this is really important. They're 1028 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: brainwashing adults, they're brainwashing the parents and the people who 1029 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: work at these institutions. And that's something that I'll return 1030 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 1: to here. But it's remarkable when you really get a 1031 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 1: view into these places, when you really understand what's going 1032 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: on at an elite schools, at very expensive private schools 1033 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: as well as in public schools. It's just utter madness. 1034 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 1: But you know the technology from there's all this convenient 1035 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 1: stuff that's going on right now, and public wi Fi 1036 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 1: is one of them. Right you go to places now, 1037 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 1: more and more stores, restaurants, just open spaces even will 1038 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,919 Speaker 1: have publicly accessible WiFi. But if you're using either your 1039 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: phone or your laptop to connect to them, what you're 1040 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: doing could be seen by somebody else if they've got 1041 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 1: the right technology, if they have the right kind of setup, 1042 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: and bad guys will actually do this to try to 1043 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: trick you to get access to your data, and that 1044 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of makes the whole personal computer thing feel not 1045 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: so personal, right Your data may be subject to this 1046 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of breach.

Excellent piece on woke schools written 1067 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: by a fellow named Paul Rossi and it is put 1068 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 1: on the Barry Weiss substack and it's I refuse to 1069 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 1: stand by while my students are indoctrinated. Not just some 1070 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 1: backstory here. The school and question that we're about to 1071 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: talk about is a rival school to the grammar school 1072 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 1: that I went to. I went to a private Catholic 1073 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: school in New York City, and this is also a 1074 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 1: private Catholic school in New York City. One that is 1075 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 1: I used to play them in sports. I had friends 1076 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 1: from this school, so I know this place a bit. 1077 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 1: I haven't really spent much time in the actual school, 1078 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 1: but I know this school a bit and that this 1079 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 1: has happened. Now, I can just tell you this isn't 1080 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 1: a one off. What I'm about to talk to you 1081 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 1: about here written by this this math teacher at the 1082 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,320 Speaker 1: Grace Church School in New York City, Paul Rossy. This 1083 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 1: has occurred in private schools across New York City, across 1084 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 1: the country, elite schools now, because the people that you 1085 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 1: know that think of themselves as elite educators and many 1086 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 1: of the very wealthy parents are already on board for 1087 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,160 Speaker 1: the stuff. But they they have become ultra woke. So 1088 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 1: while they're running these institutions, it's a fascinating situation. They're 1089 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: running these institutions that are often costing let's say forty 1090 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 1: fifty sixty thousand dollars a year grammar school. Folks, I 1091 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 1: know this is some parts of the country. You're like, what, 1092 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars a year for the first grade. Yes, 1093 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 1: that exists in New York, in Los Angeles, maybe a 1094 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: handful of other places, maybe San Francisco, DC's got some 1095 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,920 Speaker 1: you know Sidwell friends, where the Obama children went. I mean, 1096 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 1: there's some schools that are forty fifty thousand dollars there 1097 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: a year for grammar school. So you're basically paying what 1098 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: you used to think you'd pay to go to Harvard. 1099 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 1: I mean, now those places are closer to seventy grand 1100 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: when you add in basic living expenses. Anyway, I want 1101 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: to read you from this piece because this takes you 1102 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 1: through the real mentality of the woke left in a 1103 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 1: way that you need to be familiar with. They're so 1104 01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,200 Speaker 1: there's so much cognitive dissonance at work here. There's so 1105 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:06,120 Speaker 1: much absurdity. They will tell you you're allowed to have 1106 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,120 Speaker 1: your opinion, you know, the administrator at a school like this, 1107 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: and then Comma in the next breath say, but your 1108 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 1: opinion is basically violence and there may be professional consequences 1109 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 1: against you for it. This is really I mean, this 1110 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 1: would be like saying, if we're having a first Amendment, 1111 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: a real you know, old school First Amendment debate about 1112 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:24,959 Speaker 1: the government, it would be like if the government showed 1113 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 1: up and said, we're shutting down your you know, oh, 1114 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 1: you're allowed to have your opinions about this you know, 1115 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: political issue. You're totally allowed. But we're now going to 1116 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 1: seize and shut down your printing press and close your newspaper. 1117 01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 1: But but you're allowed to have your opinion. We're just 1118 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna shut it down and punish you and make sure 1119 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: you can't have your opinion. I know that's crazy, but 1120 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,960 Speaker 1: that's where this is. Now, that's actually the circumstance in 1121 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 1: which we find ourselves with this. So let me read 1122 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 1: you from something excellent. Peace. Barry Weiss, who was supposed 1123 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 1: to get some conservative voices, not even balanced, just voices 1124 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 1: the New York Times editorial page. She left because the 1125 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: idiot woke. You know, twenty two to forty year olds 1126 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 1: at the New York Times who work in the newsroom, 1127 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,919 Speaker 1: who work as you know, assistant assignment editors or blah 1128 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: blah whatever. The different journo jobs are these days. They 1129 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,880 Speaker 1: are insane. I mean, they're not normal. They don't view 1130 01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: the world the way a normal person does. They really 1131 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 1: think they're in some you know, jihad against conservatism and 1132 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 1: free speech as a moral obligation, insofar as they actually 1133 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,919 Speaker 1: believe in any kind of morality. Here's what the piece. 1134 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: Here's what the piece goes. I refuse to stand by 1135 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 1: while my students are indoctrinated. Children are afraid to challenge 1136 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 1: the repressive ideology that rules our schools. That's why I am. 1137 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Here's what he writes. I'm a teacher at Grace Church 1138 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 1: High School in Manhattan. Ten years ago. I changed careers 1139 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 1: when I discovered how rewarding it is to help young 1140 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 1: people explore the truth and beauty of mathematics. I love 1141 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,000 Speaker 1: my work as a teacher. My first obligation is to 1142 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: my students. But right now my school is asking me 1143 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 1: to embrace anti racism training and pedagogy that I believe 1144 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 1: is deeply harmful to them and to any person who 1145 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: seeks to nurture the virtues of curiosity, empathy, and understanding. 1146 01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: Anti racist training sounds righteous, but it is the opposite 1147 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 1: of truth in advertising. It requires teachers like myself to 1148 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 1: treat students differently on the basis of race. Furthermore, in 1149 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,880 Speaker 1: order to maintain a united front for our students, teachers 1150 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: at GRACE are directed to confine our doubts about this 1151 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 1: pedagog ooh about this framework. A pedagogical framework, that's the word. 1152 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 1: I was looking for. Two conversations with an in house 1153 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 1: office of community engagement, for whom every significant objection leads 1154 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 1: to a foregone conclusion. Any doubting students are likewise challenged 1155 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 1: to reframe their views to conform us orthodoxy. It really 1156 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: is very maoist, it is. It is very Soviet in 1157 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 1: its approach. This is they're telling you that they want 1158 01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 1: to have an open dialogue, but then they tell you 1159 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 1: that what you're supposed to think as part of that 1160 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 1: dialogue at supposedly open dialogue. And then when you say, well, 1161 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that, they say, right, we're going 1162 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 1: to challenge you to think about why you do agree 1163 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 1: with it. There is no room for disagreement, they see. 1164 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: This is the point. This is the point. This is 1165 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: why they take this approach. Your fighting back or your 1166 01:06:55,120 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 1: disagreement with what they claim is evidence of further they're 1167 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 1: guilt of what you've done. You see what I'm saying 1168 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 1: this is it's very similar to you know which trials. 1169 01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 1: We always think of Salem witch trials this country. People 1170 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,040 Speaker 1: don't realize that around the time of the Thirty Years 1171 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: War there were witch trial crazes throughout Europe and thousands 1172 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 1: and thousands of women were burned at the stake, drowned. 1173 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 1: And one of the ways they would always approach in 1174 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 1: this trial was that the objection to being called a 1175 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 1: witch was proof of being a witch. And this is 1176 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,000 Speaker 1: just like the framework set up in this country for 1177 01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 1: racism and white supremacy. Objections to being called or to 1178 01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 1: something being described as racism or white supremacy is a 1179 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:49,880 Speaker 1: priori not based on actual observation or based on fact, 1180 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 1: but just based on assumed wisdom, on assumed truth. You 1181 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 1: must in fact be a racist or white supremacist because 1182 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 1: you don't agree that you're a racist or white supremacist. 1183 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 1: This is very dangerous but very prevalent thinking. Here's what 1184 01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 1: this guy Rossi, Paul Rossi at the Grace Church School 1185 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 1: in New York, continues with my school. This is the quote. 1186 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:23,080 Speaker 1: My school, like so many others, induces students via shame 1187 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: and sophistry to identify primarily with their race before their 1188 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,759 Speaker 1: individual identities are fully formed. Students are pressured to conform 1189 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:36,839 Speaker 1: their opinions to those broadly associated with their race and gender, 1190 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,840 Speaker 1: and to minimize or dismiss individual experiences that don't match 1191 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: those assumptions. The morally compromised status of oppressor is assigned 1192 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 1: to one group of students based on their immutable characteristics. 1193 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:55,600 Speaker 1: In the meantime, dependency, resentment, and moral superiority are cultivated 1194 01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 1: in students considered oppressed. End quote. Resentment and moral superiority 1195 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: cultivated in the oppressed groups. This is the kind of 1196 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,880 Speaker 1: stuff that's you're not allowed to really say out loud, 1197 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,400 Speaker 1: are you? But he's writing it. He's saying it. Have 1198 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,520 Speaker 1: you ever observed that? And some of your own experiences 1199 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 1: with the wokeness with anti racism training, with corporate diversity seminars, 1200 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 1: He writes that resentment and moral superiority are cultivated in 1201 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: the oppressed. And when you hear things like this and 1202 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 1: you and you, they have that ring of immediate truth 1203 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,760 Speaker 1: you say to yourself, isn't an astonishing thing when the 1204 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 1: truth can be said aloud or can be written as 1205 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 1: is the case. All of this, he writes quote is 1206 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 1: done in the name of equity, but it is the 1207 01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 1: opposite of fair in reality. All of this reinforces the 1208 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 1: worst impulses we have as human beings, are tendency toward tribe, 1209 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,840 Speaker 1: bism and sectarianism that a truly liberal education is meant 1210 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:08,599 Speaker 1: to transcend. Recently, this is amazing. I raised questions about 1211 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:12,799 Speaker 1: this ideology at a mandatory white's only student and faculty 1212 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: zoom meeting. Such racially segregated sessions are now commonplace at 1213 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,439 Speaker 1: my school. It was a bait and switch self care 1214 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:27,840 Speaker 1: seminar that labeled objectivity, individualism, fear of open conflict, and 1215 01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:33,600 Speaker 1: even a right to comfort as characteristics of white supremacy. 1216 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 1: I doubted that these human attributes, many of them virtues 1217 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: reframed as vices, should be racialized in this way in 1218 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,920 Speaker 1: the zoom chat. I also question whether one must define 1219 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: oneself in terms of a racial identity at all. My 1220 01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: goal was to model for students that they should feel 1221 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,640 Speaker 1: safe to question ideological assertions if they felt moved to 1222 01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 1: do so. It seemed like my questions broke the ice. 1223 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 1: Students and even a few teachers offered a broad range 1224 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,599 Speaker 1: of questions and observations. Many students said it was a 1225 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 1: more productive and substantive discussion than they expected. However, when 1226 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,799 Speaker 1: my questions were shared outside this forum, violating the school 1227 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 1: norm of confidentiality, I was informed by the head of 1228 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,679 Speaker 1: the high school that my philosophical challenges had caused harm 1229 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,719 Speaker 1: to students, given that these topics were life and death 1230 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 1: matters about people's flesh and blood and bone. I was 1231 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,639 Speaker 1: reprimanded for acting like an independent agent of a set 1232 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,639 Speaker 1: of principles or ideas or beliefs, and I was told 1233 01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 1: that by doing so, I failed to serve the greater 1234 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:51,600 Speaker 1: good and the higher truth. He further informed me that 1235 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:56,479 Speaker 1: I had created dissonance for vulnerable and unformed thinkers and 1236 01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 1: neurological disturbance in students, beings, and systems. The school's director 1237 01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:06,040 Speaker 1: of studies added that my remark could even be constant, 1238 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 1: could even constitute harassment. End quote. Yes, the weird pseudo scientific, 1239 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:22,320 Speaker 1: almost Marxist twanged, this is about harm to flesh and 1240 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 1: blood because of these students, you know racial racial differences, 1241 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 1: and you can't talk about this. And by the way, 1242 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,680 Speaker 1: if you do talk about this, if you don't embrace 1243 01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:41,640 Speaker 1: this sectarian struggle that they're they're putting forward. It's also harassment. 1244 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: One somebody who's in a position of authority of you 1245 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:48,679 Speaker 1: at a job starts using the phrase constitutes harassment. That's 1246 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 1: the we might fire ass warning. Right, That's what that is. 1247 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Once you start using phrases like hostile workplace or harassment, 1248 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:04,679 Speaker 1: that's yearing up to take action against you. And that's 1249 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: that's not a that's not something that just you can 1250 01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 1: you can take as as idol chatter. That's something that 1251 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,599 Speaker 1: could be acted upon and could have severe consequences for somebody. 1252 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: And it clearly is meant to send a message to 1253 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,080 Speaker 1: this fellow. I'm gonna come back with more here of this. 1254 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,240 Speaker 1: It's on Barry Weiss's substack, So Barry Weiss dot substack 1255 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 1: dot com. Paul Rossy, math teacher here in New York 1256 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 1: and the truth about wokens it gets even crazier, folks. 1257 01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,840 Speaker 1: So we're talking about this, uh, this piece from a 1258 01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:35,760 Speaker 1: New York City high school in New York City, will 1259 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:39,879 Speaker 1: Grammar School math teacher at an elite school. The costs 1260 01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: about sixty thousand dollars a year. Elite really just meaning 1261 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,160 Speaker 1: it's very very expensive. So it's it's a school for 1262 01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,400 Speaker 1: rich people, really or close to rich people. Although I 1263 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 1: know these schools and they usually will take in what 1264 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,240 Speaker 1: they call in New York City prep for Prep, that 1265 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 1: was the name of the program, and it's underprivileged minority 1266 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: students or you know, low income minority students who go 1267 01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,559 Speaker 1: to these schools for free. There's usually a small number 1268 01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,760 Speaker 1: of them in each class, and so that's how these 1269 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 1: schools cover themselves like, oh, we've got diversity. You know, 1270 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 1: we've got forty students and it is usually small, forty 1271 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,000 Speaker 1: fifty students a class, but we've got you know, three 1272 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 1: or four minority students who are going for free. And 1273 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: then they do all this talk about wokeness and diversity. 1274 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,559 Speaker 1: But so we've already had this guy get in trouble, right. 1275 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: This is a math teacher in New York. He got 1276 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: in trouble for at a whites only zoom session mandated 1277 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 1: by the school because they separate people out by race 1278 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,720 Speaker 1: in the faculty to have discussions, which is crazy, but 1279 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 1: they do this. Now. He raised that he didn't like 1280 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,560 Speaker 1: some of the teaching that was going on, the indoctrination, 1281 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,840 Speaker 1: and he was told that it might be harassment. The 1282 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 1: head of the school, his boss says, all this stuff, 1283 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 1: it gets worse. Back into this piece quote, the head 1284 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,559 Speaker 1: of the school ordered all high school advisors to read 1285 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:59,759 Speaker 1: a public reprimand of my conduct out loud to every 1286 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 1: student in this school. It was a surreal experience walking 1287 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,800 Speaker 1: the halls alone and hearing the words emitting from each classroom. 1288 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: Events from last week compel us to underscore some aspects 1289 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,160 Speaker 1: of our mission and share some thoughts about our community. 1290 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,680 Speaker 1: The statement began at independent schools, with their history of 1291 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:24,760 Speaker 1: predominantly white populations. Racism colludes with other forms of bias, sexism, classism, ableism, 1292 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 1: and so much more to undermine our stated ideals, and 1293 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 1: we must work hard to undo this history. Then, he writes, 1294 01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 1: students from low income families experience culture shock at our school, 1295 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: Racist incidents happen, and bias can influence relationships. All true, 1296 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: but addressing such problems with a call to undo history 1297 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 1: lacks any kind of limiting principle and pairs any allegation 1298 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:53,559 Speaker 1: of bigotry with a priori guilt. My own contract for 1299 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,519 Speaker 1: next year requires me to participate in restorative practices designed 1300 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 1: by the Office of Community Engagement in order to heal 1301 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 1: my relationship with students of color and other students in 1302 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:09,599 Speaker 1: my classes. The details of these practices remain unspecified until 1303 01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,960 Speaker 1: I agree to sign. I asked my uncomfortable questions in 1304 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,519 Speaker 1: a self care meeting because I felt the duty to 1305 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 1: my students. I wanted to be a voice for the 1306 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,240 Speaker 1: many students of different backgrounds who have approached me over 1307 01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 1: the course of the past several years to express their 1308 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 1: frustration with indoctrination at our school, but are afraid to 1309 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 1: speak up. They report that in their classes and other 1310 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 1: discussions they must never challenge any of the premises of 1311 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:39,759 Speaker 1: anti racist teachings, which are deeply informed by critical race theory. 1312 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,120 Speaker 1: These concerns are confirmed for me when I attend grade 1313 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 1: level in all school meetings about race or gender issues. 1314 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,799 Speaker 1: It's just madness. That's the end of the quote. Therefo 1315 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,400 Speaker 1: It's just madness, you know, he goes on. I don't 1316 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,479 Speaker 1: have time to get into everything in this piece. Like 1317 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 1: I said, I'll share it on Facebook and on Twitter, 1318 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,599 Speaker 1: so you can find that a buck Sexton and we'll 1319 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:02,000 Speaker 1: do a right up if it. We'll put something up 1320 01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:08,479 Speaker 1: on bucksexon dot com. But everything in this piece that 1321 01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 1: they write about here. You've heard of similar things in 1322 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 1: other places. This is becoming mainstream. The indoctrination is utter 1323 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,799 Speaker 1: madness and it needs to stop. People need to understand 1324 01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 1: that this is completely unacceptable and they are taking what 1325 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:29,640 Speaker 1: it really is, a stalinist approach to this. This is 1326 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 1: the accepted way to think about things, and if you disagree, 1327 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 1: we will punish you until you agree that any concerns 1328 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 1: you have would just be more evidence of what you know, 1329 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 1: white supremacy really is. That's what they're saying. Crazy. Jack 1330 01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 1: Pusso but formerly a naval intelligence officer and now with 1331 01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: One America News joints. He is following the Derek Chauvin 1332 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 1: trial in Minneapolis and all the situations unfolding in the 1333 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,320 Speaker 1: Minneapolis area right now with riots, than the looting, and 1334 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 1: then the craziness that's happening. Jack, Great to have you 1335 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: back on the show. Hey, Buck, it's great to be here. 1336 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,800 Speaker 1: Wit we did. We were talking last time. I think 1337 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,560 Speaker 1: I was on about what would happen in the aftermath 1338 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 1: of the trial, and yet the trial is still going, 1339 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 1: but the riots have already begun. It's it's really a 1340 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 1: tinder box, Jack. We all know that it was a 1341 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:27,080 Speaker 1: tense situation, preparations in downtown Minneapolis at the courthouse, and 1342 01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,479 Speaker 1: just anything that thought would be a high priority target 1343 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,919 Speaker 1: for these riots. It looks like a war zone already. 1344 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 1: And then you add to it this this shooting of Dante, right, 1345 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,720 Speaker 1: the riots that have been happening there. Let's drill down 1346 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: because because my understanding is that that there have been 1347 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:49,280 Speaker 1: some pretty big bombshells and just the last twenty four 1348 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 1: to forty eight hours in the Chauvin trial, which as 1349 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: we know, is going to have an enormous effect on 1350 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,360 Speaker 1: what happens in Minneapolis over the next week or so. Yeah, Buck, 1351 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,719 Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. So what happened so far is that 1352 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:08,080 Speaker 1: this week, early Monday, the prosecution rested their case in chief, 1353 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:12,240 Speaker 1: and so then what happens is the defense begins to 1354 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,759 Speaker 1: put up their side in chief of the defense in chief. 1355 01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 1: Up until that point, we'd only really heard from one 1356 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,560 Speaker 1: side of the case, that being the prosecution side of 1357 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 1: the state side, which is being sort of quarterbacked like 1358 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:28,160 Speaker 1: Keith Ellison. Now it's the defense's turn. They're coming forward 1359 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:32,879 Speaker 1: with their witnesses, their medical experts, their user force experts. 1360 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,040 Speaker 1: If you heard yesterday, we're hearing today, and interestingly enough, 1361 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 1: very interesting I think for a lot of people to 1362 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,599 Speaker 1: note is that in that car go all the way 1363 01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 1: back to May twenty fifth or twenty twenty, the day 1364 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,680 Speaker 1: in question, there were three people in that car. It 1365 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 1: was George Floyd, Maurice Hall, and Swanda Hill. The prosecution 1366 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 1: did not call the two passengers in the car up 1367 01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 1: to testify. It was in fact the defense that brought 1368 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: forward the two passengers who were with Floyd during that 1369 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 1: day and during the time when the police first arrived. 1370 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,760 Speaker 1: That's not usually the type of thing you would see 1371 01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 1: in a case like this. Now, what do you take 1372 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:17,599 Speaker 1: from that? Jack? Well, So it's very interesting because Maurice Hall, 1373 01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 1: of course, had already been fingered by George Floyd's girlfriend 1374 01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,760 Speaker 1: as being the man who had sold him drugs in 1375 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,880 Speaker 1: the past. He said he was a drug dealer or 1376 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 1: someone she had given him an ultimatum about even spending 1377 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,759 Speaker 1: time with. She didn't like this guy, didn't want George 1378 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 1: to be around him. Right, he comes up and takes 1379 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 1: the fifth He says he will not testify because under 1380 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota law. His lawyer also brought this up as well, 1381 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,439 Speaker 1: that if he sold him drugs sold Floyd drugs that 1382 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:53,720 Speaker 1: contributed to Floyd's death mixed with methamphetamine which he was 1383 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 1: telling people where percocetses or street counterfeit drugs. Under that scenario, 1384 01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,519 Speaker 1: under the law, that's considered third degree murder, so that 1385 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: actually could he could be held liable for the murder 1386 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,760 Speaker 1: of George Floyd. And of course he has a Fifth 1387 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Amendment rights to not incriminate himself. He took the stand today, 1388 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,040 Speaker 1: took the fifth and the judge said that he would 1389 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,200 Speaker 1: allow that he would not compel the testimony, and so 1390 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:23,320 Speaker 1: he did not testify. Then Swanda Hill yesterday testified and 1391 01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 1: gave some very interesting testimonies to the jury that I 1392 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 1: don't think has been heard yet. And she stated that 1393 01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 1: while they were in the car, so Buck, you remember, 1394 01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: this whole thing started with a counterfeit twenty dollars bill, right, 1395 01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,360 Speaker 1: And when George Floyd left that store, the Cup Foods 1396 01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,479 Speaker 1: convenience store workers then came out and said that they 1397 01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 1: were asking him, hey, can you just give us the 1398 01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,439 Speaker 1: twenty dollars so we can square this up, give us 1399 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 1: a real twenty right, And they never really explained why 1400 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,200 Speaker 1: it was that until they called police that George Floyd 1401 01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,480 Speaker 1: simply didn't just drive away right, you know, the scene, 1402 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 1: not stay there. Shawanda Hill and heard that question for 1403 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: us yesterday when she got up and testified very strangely 1404 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:10,000 Speaker 1: that George Floyd suddenly fell asleep, almost passed out, seemingly 1405 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 1: in the driver's seat of that vehicle while it was 1406 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,160 Speaker 1: sitting outside the convenience store. She said that she took 1407 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 1: a phone call and then she turned over and George 1408 01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 1: was asleep, and said that she couldn't rouse him, the 1409 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 1: workers of the store couldn't rouse him, and it was 1410 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 1: only later when police finally arrived, that he was able 1411 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: to get up. Now, also, due to issues and self 1412 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 1: incrimination of the Fifth Amendment, the judge didn't allow questioning 1413 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 1: of whether or not she had viewed George Floyd using drugs, 1414 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,040 Speaker 1: whether she had supplied him with drugs, etc. However, that's 1415 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:45,639 Speaker 1: something that really speaks to the defenses connotation of their 1416 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,400 Speaker 1: argument that Floyd was, as we know, of course from 1417 01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,400 Speaker 1: the tox scholar report, was using fentanyl and that may 1418 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,000 Speaker 1: have ingested a large amount of fentanyl mixed with methamphetamine, 1419 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 1: combined with his already heightened medical condition, which of course 1420 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,600 Speaker 1: we've heard from every medical examiner has said that this 1421 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:06,799 Speaker 1: guy definitely had medical what you would consider a cardiac disease, 1422 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 1: ninety percent oclusion on one side, seventy five percent the 1423 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:11,920 Speaker 1: other side of his heart. This guy was a guy 1424 01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: who did not have a health and heart and for 1425 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: him to take that amount of fentanyl, plus we know 1426 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,000 Speaker 1: later when police arrived, he then shoot some other fentanyl 1427 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:24,280 Speaker 1: pills to try to potentially try to hide them. They 1428 01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: or later found much later in the police squad card 1429 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 1: that all of these things may have contributed to this. 1430 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,680 Speaker 1: And so it kind of answered that key question of 1431 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 1: why he stayed there and why he didn't simply leave. 1432 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,160 Speaker 1: He was not conscious for that entire period, which is 1433 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 1: new information to the journey. Okay, so we're talking to 1434 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:45,400 Speaker 1: Jack Posobik of One America News, and Jack, the use 1435 01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,720 Speaker 1: of force issue has been central here. I want you 1436 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,640 Speaker 1: to tell me what the most recent expert for the 1437 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 1: defense says about the putting the knee on the neck 1438 01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 1: and what's where are we on that. Yes, see, this 1439 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 1: expert from the defense who came up, he's positively testify 1440 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:04,960 Speaker 1: that using a prone position is something that's absolutely considered 1441 01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,400 Speaker 1: a standard for police practice, especially when a suspect is 1442 01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:12,760 Speaker 1: resisting arrest and using what he referred to as aggressive 1443 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,840 Speaker 1: resistance by Floyd. Again plots from ever from the full 1444 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,560 Speaker 1: video that came out, not just the nine minutes but 1445 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 1: the full video. Floyd was was resisting multiple officers who 1446 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:24,920 Speaker 1: were trying who were asking him to sit in the 1447 01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: back of a police car. He refused to do that, 1448 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,519 Speaker 1: he fought them off. Then when they laid him on 1449 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 1: the ground ere he actually requested to be laid on 1450 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:35,559 Speaker 1: the ground. He kicked several times at the officers. And 1451 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,879 Speaker 1: so police are trained, and this is what the expert testified. 1452 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 1: They are trained and when they are dealing with that 1453 01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,320 Speaker 1: type of active aggressive resistance, that holding someone in the 1454 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: prone position is not only supported from an objective standard, 1455 01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 1: but also recommended not just for the safety the officers, 1456 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,280 Speaker 1: but for the safety of the suspect because if they 1457 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:01,519 Speaker 1: may be experiencing intoxication, drugs, or other means, and that 1458 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: they may become a harm to themselves. This is actually 1459 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 1: something that's trained to police officers and certainly would have 1460 01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 1: been consistent with the training that showed them received. How 1461 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 1: could we be in this place where we're told by 1462 01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,719 Speaker 1: some law enforcement experts who appearing that this would never 1463 01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: be a restraint that would be allowed to be used. 1464 01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,320 Speaker 1: But others are saying no, this is actually right from 1465 01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:25,439 Speaker 1: the training manual right. And so you've really got a 1466 01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:29,679 Speaker 1: situation where because the way these policies are written, they've 1467 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,320 Speaker 1: been rewritten so many times after various use of force 1468 01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:37,720 Speaker 1: cases throughout the country that it's something where it can 1469 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,880 Speaker 1: become There's a lot of holes in this. It's very complicated. 1470 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,880 Speaker 1: There's a ton of bureaucracy. Buck you. I know you 1471 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 1: dealt with this when you're in the intel community. I 1472 01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 1: dealt with is certainly in military and in the IC 1473 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 1: where you can any good jag can find a piece 1474 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: of policy that they can point to and says that 1475 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,920 Speaker 1: you broke it because the policy is that large. What 1476 01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: it really does come down to is the training and 1477 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,479 Speaker 1: it comes down to what would be accepted actresses of 1478 01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,719 Speaker 1: the officers. Now, Jack, what can you tell us about 1479 01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,479 Speaker 1: the expected timeline here and where this is all heading. 1480 01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: I mean, from what I've read, we could have the 1481 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,400 Speaker 1: jury going into deliberations as soon as next week. Is 1482 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 1: that's still where things stand, that's correct, borrowing any significant 1483 01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:23,000 Speaker 1: delays this week, which quite frankly the defense has been 1484 01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 1: rather quick. He actually went through six witnesses yesterday, whereas 1485 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:30,120 Speaker 1: the you know, the prosecution would take one witness and 1486 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,439 Speaker 1: seemingly one witness per day almost or just a couple 1487 01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:36,759 Speaker 1: of witnesses per day. They're currently scheduled. The judge thinks 1488 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 1: that starting Monday, the joury will go into deliberations. He 1489 01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:42,840 Speaker 1: actually pointed out at one point they should probably pack 1490 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 1: a bag because they will. Now this is something that's interesting. 1491 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 1: They will be sequestered throughout their deliberations. So that means 1492 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 1: when they're deliberating, they're in court, when they're not, they're 1493 01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 1: going to be sequestered, probably in a hotel somewhere somewhere, 1494 01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 1: whe they're kept away from media, they're kept away from 1495 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,880 Speaker 1: from all They're not going to be given you know, 1496 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,559 Speaker 1: the ability to text, you know, their friends and family, 1497 01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,960 Speaker 1: that type of thing, full sea questration. And so then 1498 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 1: we may Now that being said, I talked to numerous 1499 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 1: terranies about this. They said, you know what, you can 1500 01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,280 Speaker 1: really only guess a jury maybe ten to twenty percent 1501 01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 1: of the time. So juries come back from verdicts that 1502 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,840 Speaker 1: nobody could see gummy in many cases. So this and 1503 01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 1: then same goes for the length of deliberations. This could 1504 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 1: be something where it's over very quickly, could be something 1505 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 1: where it's over very over a very lengthy period, could 1506 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:34,719 Speaker 1: be a couple of days. I have heard through sort 1507 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,639 Speaker 1: of through the grape vine that some prosecutors and some 1508 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:43,880 Speaker 1: lawyers in the Minneapolis area have reached out to the 1509 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 1: Minnesota National Guard in order to make them know that 1510 01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,720 Speaker 1: there is a probability that there could be a hung jury. Now, 1511 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,519 Speaker 1: hung jury means they that the joury simply votes and 1512 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 1: votes and votes, and as of course we need we 1513 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,160 Speaker 1: need twelve to either quit or find guilty. If they 1514 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 1: cannot get to those twelve votes, then it could come 1515 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 1: to a situation where there is a hung jury. There 1516 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,760 Speaker 1: is a significant disagreement. If I passed it there and 1517 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 1: not even give me a blockage if they are not 1518 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,760 Speaker 1: all out of my pass in which case that would 1519 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,640 Speaker 1: go back to the judge and say, look, we have 1520 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:15,439 Speaker 1: not been able to decide this and it is a 1521 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,880 Speaker 1: very close case. It is a very close question on 1522 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:22,000 Speaker 1: a number of these issues. Jad the prone factor contributed 1523 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,800 Speaker 1: to his death. If so, how much, and wasn't enough 1524 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,479 Speaker 1: to include one of these charges either murder or manslaughter. 1525 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,280 Speaker 1: That's really what this jury is going to have to question. Jack. 1526 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 1: And before we let you go, it's Jack Posobic of 1527 01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 1: One America News. We're speaking to hear about the Derek 1528 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,760 Speaker 1: Schouven trial. Do we have any sense I know that 1529 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 1: self described Antifa or just antifa the media says self 1530 01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 1: described Antifa has already shown up in the area. We 1531 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:51,479 Speaker 1: have all this this sense of a combustible environment because 1532 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,960 Speaker 1: of what's already happened with Dante, right, and it's ten 1533 01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,200 Speaker 1: miles away. That shooting was ten miles away from his 1534 01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:01,680 Speaker 1: court house, so it's right nearby. And if is there 1535 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,600 Speaker 1: such a thing that there will be a verdict that 1536 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 1: will stop riots or is the expectation that there will 1537 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,800 Speaker 1: likely be riots at the verdict no matter what you know, 1538 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Having studied Antifa, I'm actually putting 1539 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:18,040 Speaker 1: out a book on Antifa very soon. They will use 1540 01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 1: either either scenario to justify more riots. It's it's quite 1541 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,280 Speaker 1: simple think of it. If he has found that guilty, 1542 01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 1: they will say the system is corrupt and so you 1543 01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,639 Speaker 1: must riot. If he's found guilty, they'll say the police 1544 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 1: or murderers, so you must riot. So they've put themselves 1545 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:36,800 Speaker 1: in a position where either outcome is will support their 1546 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,599 Speaker 1: their ends, because they have a predetermined plan to riot, 1547 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:44,479 Speaker 1: to support actual sedition, actual insurrection in the United States, 1548 01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 1: and they view the entire United States system as a 1549 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 1: form of social fascism. They would say that that the 1550 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,919 Speaker 1: church is fascism. It would say that banks are fascism, 1551 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,680 Speaker 1: that law itself is fascism. And so this goes back 1552 01:29:55,680 --> 01:30:01,599 Speaker 1: to Stalin and so this in this encompassing you could say, 1553 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,799 Speaker 1: ideology that goes to say papology. They will use anything, 1554 01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:09,679 Speaker 1: any excuse to justify their means. Jack Psobic one American News. 1555 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,599 Speaker 1: Jack always great to have him, and thanks so much. 1556 01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:15,720 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Buck, thanks so much. And now they've got 1557 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 1: this humanitarian crisis, national security crisis down there which is 1558 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,640 Speaker 1: desperately in need of a solution. One of the things 1559 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:24,840 Speaker 1: they could do, it's been a lot of talk about infrastructure. 1560 01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,400 Speaker 1: The administration's talking about infrastructure. Build one important piece of 1561 01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: infrastructures to finish the building the border wall. That would 1562 01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,719 Speaker 1: be really important, and it's already been fund that Congress 1563 01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,400 Speaker 1: has appropriated money for that. The administration has chosen not 1564 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,439 Speaker 1: to take those dollars and to finish building out the wall. 1565 01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,280 Speaker 1: We heard from border patrol how important the wall is. 1566 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:50,000 Speaker 1: Finish the wall. Senator John Thune says, Now, let me 1567 01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 1: tell you I'm I'm pro wall because I have actually 1568 01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:56,800 Speaker 1: spoken to border border Patrol. I've seen the wall. I 1569 01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:00,080 Speaker 1: understand how this would help. It is not a to 1570 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,360 Speaker 1: see you, not even close. And with what we see 1571 01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 1: going on right now, I gotta tell you the wall 1572 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:11,080 Speaker 1: would help, but it wouldn't help with the primary problem. 1573 01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,800 Speaker 1: The wall would help with the secondary problem at our border. 1574 01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:20,280 Speaker 1: Let me explain. We'll start with the secondary. The secondary 1575 01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:25,760 Speaker 1: issue is that because you have border patrol so overwhelmed 1576 01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,639 Speaker 1: with people coming to the border, they are stretched thin, 1577 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 1: and therefore cartels and just people who aren't even going 1578 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:35,960 Speaker 1: to try to go through the asylum system at all, 1579 01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,400 Speaker 1: but just want to take a run and run into 1580 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,639 Speaker 1: the US approach. But particularly for the drug cartels, that's 1581 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: the best thing, right because they're not showing up and 1582 01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,280 Speaker 1: turning themselves in. They want to get their illegal contraband 1583 01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 1: in the country. So for the cartels, the wall is helpful. 1584 01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: It's helpful to deal with the cartels to have a wall, 1585 01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 1: because then you can greater concentrate your border patrol forces 1586 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:02,880 Speaker 1: that you do have in areas where there's high traffic crossings, 1587 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,479 Speaker 1: and you can actually cut down on some of that. 1588 01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop it. You can cut down on 1589 01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 1: some of that. But the primary issue here is not people. 1590 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 1: Everyone has to understand this, and I think that this 1591 01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 1: is getting lost in some of the coverage of what's 1592 01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 1: Diviiden administration crisis at our border, which is a tremendous crisis. 1593 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:26,759 Speaker 1: The problem is that people aren't trying to sneak into 1594 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,080 Speaker 1: the US. Who are the unaccompanied miners and the family 1595 01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,040 Speaker 1: units and others who were showing up. They are very 1596 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 1: much flagging down. They walk to the border, the actual 1597 01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,760 Speaker 1: physical border that separates the United States from Mexicach. In 1598 01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:44,680 Speaker 1: some places there is no border. It's just land and 1599 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 1: you just walk and you've crossed over into territory. They 1600 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,880 Speaker 1: walk and they say, hey, I'm here, take me. I 1601 01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:57,080 Speaker 1: want to claim asylum. A wall does nothing to stop that, right, 1602 01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:58,920 Speaker 1: because the best thing that a wall does for you 1603 01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:02,360 Speaker 1: is slow down people who are trying to have no 1604 01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 1: contact with law enforcement and are just hoping to run 1605 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,799 Speaker 1: into the I mean literally run into the United States. 1606 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:12,920 Speaker 1: So a wall, you see them, you say, oh, they're 1607 01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,519 Speaker 1: trying to cross it illegally, and you stop them, You 1608 01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:18,599 Speaker 1: grab them, and then you can put them in process 1609 01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:20,880 Speaker 1: and then and then deport them if they're for the 1610 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 1: illegal crossing a wall. With the policies the Biden administration 1611 01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:29,640 Speaker 1: is using, doesn't do that much because people just show up. 1612 01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 1: Let's say, let's say that I was at an area 1613 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:35,080 Speaker 1: of wall of the border where there is a wall, 1614 01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:37,760 Speaker 1: and I show up and I say, and I'm there, 1615 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 1: and I'm part of a family, and I show up 1616 01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 1: with my wife and my child. Well, we can get 1617 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:47,000 Speaker 1: over that wall or find a place where the wall ends, 1618 01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,840 Speaker 1: because the wall is not contiguous anywhere. We just go 1619 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 1: to the edge of the wall and yeah, the cameras 1620 01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,720 Speaker 1: and the and the censors will let border patrol know 1621 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 1: and they'll be waiting there for me. And you know 1622 01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,120 Speaker 1: what my approach would be if I was I'd say, great, hey, 1623 01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 1: border patrol, I want to claim asylum. Let's start that 1624 01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,000 Speaker 1: whole process. And they take me in, they feed me, 1625 01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,439 Speaker 1: and they start fingerprinting and doing all these things. You see, 1626 01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:13,639 Speaker 1: the wall does not stop this. And I think everyone 1627 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,479 Speaker 1: needs to understand that the wall does not end this. 1628 01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,360 Speaker 1: So while I'm pro wall, don't get me wrong, the 1629 01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,240 Speaker 1: wall should be finished. The wall is a good thing, 1630 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 1: it's not enough. It's about political will, it's about rule 1631 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:30,360 Speaker 1: of law. It's about enforcing what's already on the books, 1632 01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:35,040 Speaker 1: and the Biden administration will not do that.

I mean, 1707 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,080 Speaker 1: the fact that it hasn't been made into a series 1708 01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,720 Speaker 1: or a movie, at least not a really well known one. 1709 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,559 Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing to me because it's such an 1710 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 1: incredible story. I mean, the most really the most powerful 1711 01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:48,120 Speaker 1: military force in the world invades this island and it's 1712 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:52,040 Speaker 1: just an absolute fight to the death for months between 1713 01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:56,759 Speaker 1: a pretty small band of Christian Nights, really a vestige 1714 01:38:56,760 --> 01:39:02,360 Speaker 1: of the Crusades, the Knights of Knights hospitaller and and 1715 01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:05,760 Speaker 1: they managed to spoiler alert, They managed to hold out 1716 01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:10,479 Speaker 1: against this which were unbelievable odds and change the course 1717 01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:13,360 Speaker 1: of the Mediterranean, change the course of Christendom and of 1718 01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:16,880 Speaker 1: world history in the process. Because what people don't often 1719 01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:21,080 Speaker 1: know is that the Ottomans were the Ottomans were thinking 1720 01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,640 Speaker 1: about how to get all the way to Rome, to 1721 01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:27,360 Speaker 1: the Vatican to take the seat of Christianity itself. At 1722 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:29,400 Speaker 1: the time, that was the plan. They had already taken 1723 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 1: Constantinople turned into an instantful. The next stop for them 1724 01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:35,880 Speaker 1: was going to be Rome. They were going to have 1725 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:41,799 Speaker 1: an invasion of mainland Italy and take the crown jewel 1726 01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:47,120 Speaker 1: of the Roman Catholicism and then from there strike into 1727 01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:50,360 Speaker 1: the heart of Europe itself. And you got to think 1728 01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 1: from the Ottoman perspective, they had control of all of 1729 01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:56,400 Speaker 1: Asia minor of what we now think of as the 1730 01:39:56,479 --> 01:40:04,080 Speaker 1: Near East North Africa, tremendous empire, and they were stopped 1731 01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,400 Speaker 1: by this one bent one of the most amazing.

One of my favorite 1741 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,639 Speaker 1: parts has been watching your relationship with each other evolved 1742 01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:36,760 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. I used to think 1743 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,040 Speaker 1: producer Mark was borderline insubordinate because he would undermine Buck occasionally. 1744 01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 1: Once I learned how young Mark was, I understood better. Anyway. 1745 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan. See you're a salty little fellow, 1746 01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,160 Speaker 1: mister Mark.

I do think you'll be 1749 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:55,960 Speaker 1: a big part of filling the gaping hole in radio 1750 01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:58,760 Speaker 1: that was left by Rush's death. Buck, I thought of 1751 01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:00,960 Speaker 1: you as an air apparent long before Rush got sick. 1752 01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,439 Speaker 1: And even share that opinion with others. One thing you 1753 01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 1: have that many others don't is genuine natural humor, which 1754 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:09,880 Speaker 1: is woman throughout the show never seems gimmicky or forced. 1755 01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:13,080 Speaker 1: I take your call the patronized sponsor.

Actually, 1792 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm a fifteen years old and just about to be 1793 01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 1: a freshman in high school. Yeah, he just sounds like 1794 01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 1: he's fifteen. He smokes a packer Marlborough reads every day. 1795 01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,280 Speaker 1: That's why. That's why my voice is like, hey, it's 1796 01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:12,080 Speaker 1: producer Bark. Prucer Bark. All of a sudden sounds like great, yeah, 1797 01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,800 Speaker 1: that's right, So there we go. Oh oh and and 1798 01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,960 Speaker 1: but Bratt on a on a serious note, it means 1799 01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,400 Speaker 1: so much to our sponsors because every single time you 1800 01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:24,360 Speaker 1: act on one of our one of our call to 1801 01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,360 Speaker 1: actions for a sponsor, every single one they see it. 1802 01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:29,840 Speaker 1: So every person out there everything, oh it doesn't matter. 1803 01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:31,680 Speaker 1: You know, do I need to do I need to 1804 01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:33,519 Speaker 1: get a black rifle?

Every single time you do and 1807 01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:42,839 Speaker 1: you use our promo code, you are sending a message 1808 01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:46,600 Speaker 1: to that sponsor that you support this show and you 1809 01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,000 Speaker 1: and you're purchasing their products and you keep our show 1810 01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,759 Speaker 1: on the air. It's like, I mean, it's it's like voting. 1811 01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, every single vote counts. Don't ever think, oh, well, 1812 01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:56,920 Speaker 1: there's all these other people listening the Bucks action.

But if you can, 1817 01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you you know. I mean, the coffee 1818 01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:09,760 Speaker 1: is an obvious one. But there are so many of 1819 01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 1: these sponsors we have. You know, I talk to you 1820 01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,040 Speaker 1: about inflation. I mean, I own real gold and silver. 1821 01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:16,759 Speaker 1: I wish I could own a lot more, but I've 1822 01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,160 Speaker 1: built up some gold and silver that I have and 1823 01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,000 Speaker 1: I get it from the Oxford Gold Group. But that's true. 1824 01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I am concerned about inflation. I'm taking these 1825 01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:28,760 Speaker 1: actions myself. I bought a house through our sponsor. Done 1826 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:30,519 Speaker 1: for your real estate. In fact, I've now worked with 1827 01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:33,320 Speaker 1: my brothers to buy more than one house, to set 1828 01:44:33,400 --> 01:44:35,799 Speaker 1: up a real estate portfolio to help for my retirement. 1829 01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:39,280 Speaker 1: I've done all that. That's all true. So you know, 1830 01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:41,160 Speaker 1: I mean everything I tell you about this stuff is true. 1831 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,320 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, you know these are sponsors 1832 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:45,960 Speaker 1: that I use, that I that I trust, and that 1833 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:48,840 Speaker 1: when you use them as well, you're voting to keep 1834 01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,120 Speaker 1: the show on the air, and especially these days with 1835 01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:54,600 Speaker 1: all the corporate targeting and stuff that's going on, you know, 1836 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,639 Speaker 1: it really matters that you support our sponsors. So please 1837 01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 1: I ask you to really some thought to that, and 1838 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, don't if you're listening on podcasts, don't fast 1839 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,040 Speaker 1: forward through the commercials. And if you're listening me to 1840 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,760 Speaker 1: a live read on radio, please give it some thought. 1841 01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:12,519 Speaker 1: And we appreciate every single one of you who does. 1842 01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,720 Speaker 1: By the way, we really do. Chris, Hey there, bucking Mark. 1843 01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:17,160 Speaker 1: I just want to throw it out there that, yes, 1844 01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:19,920 Speaker 1: Ted Lasser was a very good show. The wife and 1845 01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,320 Speaker 1: I watched it together. It was hilarious pretty much from 1846 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,240 Speaker 1: beginning to end. And also Brooklyn nine nine is great 1847 01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:29,080 Speaker 1: as well. Toward the later seasons it gets a little 1848 01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:31,920 Speaker 1: less interesting and hilarious, but still funny. And on all 1849 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:36,560 Speaker 1: the LEPRECN movies, they were amazingly cheesy and great for 1850 01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:38,679 Speaker 1: what they were. But the main thing we can't forget 1851 01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,120 Speaker 1: is that the very first LEPERCN movie introduced us to 1852 01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:47,880 Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston. Keep Fighting the Good Fight, Fellows, Chris, absolutely 1853 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:53,519 Speaker 1: true little known fact Jennifer Aniston of Friends Stardom, her 1854 01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 1: first on screen role in a movie was lepre con one. 1855 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,720 Speaker 1: Did you know that? Producer Mark didn't? And then she 1856 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:02,560 Speaker 1: went on to star in one of the worst that 1857 01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:04,880 Speaker 1: comes ever. I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that. 1858 01:46:05,280 --> 01:46:08,000 Speaker 1: I just I'm just, you know, I'm just gonna let 1859 01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,720 Speaker 1: that sadness sit inside me and act like you don't 1860 01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:14,400 Speaker 1: understand that Friends is a great show. I mean, you're 1861 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,720 Speaker 1: not even You're not even taking the like slightly more 1862 01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:20,040 Speaker 1: acceptable position that Seinfeld's a better show than Friends. You're 1863 01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:23,000 Speaker 1: saying Friends is bad. Yeah, well, Seinfeld blows it out 1864 01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,000 Speaker 1: of the water, Like s I felt an example of 1865 01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:28,200 Speaker 1: what a good TV show is and Friends is an 1866 01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,080 Speaker 1: example of boring writing. See, I can't even get like, 1867 01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:33,880 Speaker 1: I can't even get the proper level of outrage going 1868 01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:35,640 Speaker 1: here because I agree with you it Seinfeld is a 1869 01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,720 Speaker 1: great show. It's not that. It's just that your denigration 1870 01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:42,120 Speaker 1: of Friends, I don't even say. Whenever it's on my 1871 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:44,479 Speaker 1: eyes glass over, I'm like, this is supposed to be funny. 1872 01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:46,920 Speaker 1: I don't get it. But yeah, it is true that 1873 01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:50,040 Speaker 1: that Jennifer Aniston, you know, wearing a crop top with 1874 01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:52,080 Speaker 1: her hair kind of bobbed and everything back in the 1875 01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,800 Speaker 1: day was. You know, she was running around going, oh gosh, 1876 01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:56,720 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I don't know what's going on here, and 1877 01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, oh jeez, I don't know. I don't know. 1878 01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:02,240 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta talking where stuff that she does. Yeah, 1879 01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:04,000 Speaker 1: she's like, oh gush, guy, he's I don't know what's 1880 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,880 Speaker 1: going on. Oh I gesha and little and a lepricaan 1881 01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:10,559 Speaker 1: Oh hey, lassie, I am the lea. He's running around 1882 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,840 Speaker 1: and you know he's a very mean little lepricaon he bites, 1883 01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:17,240 Speaker 1: he's he's a trickster and he kills people. He's a 1884 01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:20,800 Speaker 1: mean little LEPrecon. So not all of them are are 1885 01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:23,040 Speaker 1: your frosted lucky charm. It's long. I'm telling I'm surprised 1886 01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 1: you haven't made faucion yet. Like that seems like a 1887 01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,840 Speaker 1: slam dunk for you. Yeah. Well, I think I referred 1888 01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:29,720 Speaker 1: to him as the lab coated LEPrecon, at least in 1889 01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:31,960 Speaker 1: writing pieces that I've done. So yeah, we'll have to 1890 01:47:32,040 --> 01:47:33,800 Speaker 1: hear your impression of him another. But the problem is 1891 01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:37,280 Speaker 1: he's an eat and a lepricon. You know, pot of gold, 1892 01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:41,080 Speaker 1: you gotta mitigate your pot of gold. Um, you know 1893 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:43,920 Speaker 1: the problem with with the with fauci as lepricon is it. 1894 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:47,000 Speaker 1: Usually people think of them is as the nice kind 1895 01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, but no, they're actually mischievous and can be evil. 1896 01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,920 Speaker 1: Roll call. Continuing here with Bear. Hello Buck, long time 1897 01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:57,720 Speaker 1: listener from the old Weekend on the Blaze days. Wow, 1898 01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:02,360 Speaker 1: Bear is original Saturday's suad O s s. You should 1899 01:48:02,360 --> 01:48:04,760 Speaker 1: have grown over the years. I love to see people succeed, Bear, 1900 01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:06,840 Speaker 1: I really appreciate that, and it's awesome you've been with 1901 01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:09,200 Speaker 1: me from those early days. Man, it's Bear. We're gonna 1902 01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:13,120 Speaker 1: bet we're gonna be at next next February. It'll be 1903 01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:16,439 Speaker 1: ten years of me doing radio next February. Ten years. Man, 1904 01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,840 Speaker 1: Who are there any books, articles, or sources you can 1905 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,120 Speaker 1: recommend about Vladimir Putin? I'm interested in learning about his 1906 01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,840 Speaker 1: life and career, but I don't really know where to start, 1907 01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:29,320 Speaker 1: and I obviously don't know which sources contain verified information 1908 01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:33,559 Speaker 1: instead of propaganda. The man is obviously brilliant, if brutal 1909 01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:35,439 Speaker 1: and murderers, and it seems to me he truly loves 1910 01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:38,240 Speaker 1: his country. Definitely an interesting guy, and I feel I 1911 01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:41,240 Speaker 1: should know far more about him than I do. Bear 1912 01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:44,439 Speaker 1: a great question, and let me try to approach and 1913 01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:46,200 Speaker 1: answer it this way. I actually don't know of a 1914 01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,559 Speaker 1: great Putin biography, so I can start with that. There's 1915 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,519 Speaker 1: a ton about him on the internet, and I'm trying 1916 01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,639 Speaker 1: to think of what the best profiles are that I've 1917 01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:57,200 Speaker 1: read of him. You know, I think there's some pretty 1918 01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,479 Speaker 1: there's actually been some pretty good stuff on Putin. I 1919 01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:03,040 Speaker 1: believe in the New Yorker. New Yorker magazine was very liberal, 1920 01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:04,800 Speaker 1: very left wing magazine, don't get me wrong, but I 1921 01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,000 Speaker 1: think they've done some good Putin profiles. I'm actually right 1922 01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:12,479 Speaker 1: now just finishing up a biography of Stalin by Robert's Service, 1923 01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:16,880 Speaker 1: which if you've never read about Stalin before, the Service 1924 01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:21,680 Speaker 1: biography is very digestible, very readable, moves quickly. There's a 1925 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,000 Speaker 1: lot of Stalan biographies, and I'm actually moving to my 1926 01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:27,920 Speaker 1: next book right now because Stalin in some ways my 1927 01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:31,680 Speaker 1: next book that's related in a sense, because Stalin actively 1928 01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:37,759 Speaker 1: read about and patterned himself in some ways after Ivan 1929 01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:43,040 Speaker 1: the Terrible, who was the sixteenth century monarch of Muscovy, 1930 01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:46,960 Speaker 1: not not technically Russia, but Muscovin included the city of Moscow, 1931 01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:51,120 Speaker 1: and it was a prince, a principality or a state 1932 01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:55,559 Speaker 1: of Russian ethnic Russians, but at that point in time 1933 01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:58,519 Speaker 1: it was actually the Polish and and what would now 1934 01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:01,920 Speaker 1: be the Baltic States were were regional powers, and Muscovie 1935 01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:06,280 Speaker 1: had lost a lot of its territory to the Tatars, 1936 01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:10,160 Speaker 1: who were Mongols. The Mongol Horde had invaded and taken 1937 01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:13,600 Speaker 1: large pieces of what is now Russia and had and 1938 01:50:14,160 --> 01:50:20,679 Speaker 1: formerly the Soviet Union was Muslim Tatars had taken control. Anyway, 1939 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:26,240 Speaker 1: Ivan the Terrible is the basis for some of I mean, 1940 01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 1: from what I'm already have read, is the basis for 1941 01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:34,680 Speaker 1: some of the most heinous ideas throughout modern history. Created 1942 01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:38,479 Speaker 1: what essentially would be an early version of the SS. 1943 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:42,759 Speaker 1: They addressed all in black, they rode only black horses, 1944 01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:47,920 Speaker 1: and they could they could kill, rape, mutilate, murder anyone, 1945 01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,639 Speaker 1: it will, completely above the law, his own personal police force, 1946 01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:54,400 Speaker 1: and not really policing, of course, just essentially a band 1947 01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:58,160 Speaker 1: of state enabled thugs. And he also fed his rivals 1948 01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:01,680 Speaker 1: to packs of dogs, which you will see if you 1949 01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:05,000 Speaker 1: see the Game of Throne series comes up with Ramsey Bolton, 1950 01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:09,120 Speaker 1: who's the psychopath, the most evil character perhaps in the 1951 01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:12,960 Speaker 1: whole series, which I believe is taken by George R. 1952 01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:17,080 Speaker 1: Martin directly from the truth, the true story of Ivan 1953 01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:19,760 Speaker 1: the Terrible. So that's a long way of saying I 1954 01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:23,200 Speaker 1: got good Stalin biographies and I'm in the Terrible biographies 1955 01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,960 Speaker 1: for you. But can't say no a great Putin biography, 1956 01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,680 Speaker 1: So Bear, I will look into that and thank you 1957 01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:29,320 Speaker 1: for being with me as long as you've had as 1958 01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,839 Speaker 1: long as you have my friend appreciated, all right, Everybody 1959 01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:32,599 Speaker 1: shields high
