I mean, there is no better symbol. 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: You've heard me talking about how special it is to 27 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: have an American flag flying in front of your home, 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: your dock, your boat for the last several weeks, and 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: not just any flag, but one that's actually made in America, 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: one that is manufactured with such a high level of 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: quality that it doesn't get tangled, torn or shredded like 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: others so easily do.

What 48 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: happens when you have people seeing for themselves, day in 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: and day out, what it means to undermine law enforcement, 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: to make the lives of police more difficult, that actually 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: put them and those day are supposed to serve and 52 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: protect at greater risk from violent crime. What actually happens? 53 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: Do people recognize the problem and address it or are 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: they somehow fools? Are they convinced of untrue narratives? Are 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: they able to be distracted by nonsense in the media, 56 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: Because as we know, the Democrat Party has embraced, embrace 57 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: this defund the police idiocy. And I don't say that lightly. 58 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm not just putting that out there so that I 59 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: can take a shot at the Left, which is always fun. 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: This is crazy, as I have said, it is the 61 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: dumbest idea the Democrats have had, or the dumbest slogan 62 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: they've had, since walls don't work, right, How could anyone 63 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: have said that out loud? How could any adult human 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: being have gone around saying walls don't work like saying 65 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: doors don't work. It's just so stupid that it's hard 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: to believe. But it gained a lot of traction, and 67 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: you'll remember with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez leading the charge. Abolish 68 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: ICE was another rallying cry of the left under the 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: Trump administration. Not reform, not make sure or that it's lean, 70 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: mean and streamlined or not mean, of course, because that 71 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: would be bad. But not make sure that it's more 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: effective in its mission. But defund it, get rid of it, 73 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: abolish it. Well, now we've had a year of defund 74 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: the police, and the numbers are all quite clear. Crime 75 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: surge increase this time versus last time. Year to year, 76 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: Portland homicides up five hundred and thirty three percent, shootings 77 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: up one hundred and twenty six percent. Atlanta homicides up 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent, shootings up forty percent. Philadelphia thirty seven 79 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: percent increase in homicides, twenty seven percent increase in shootings. 80 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: New York City thirteen percent, increase in homicides, sixty four 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: percent increase in shootings, Los Angeles twenty two percent, homicides 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: fifty one percent shootings in Chicago up five percent, homicides 83 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: up eighteen percent in shootings. This is just year to year, 84 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: year over year, folks, You're talking about, in some cases 85 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: massive increases. And Portland. Isn't it fascinating that Portland is 86 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: there at the very top of the increases. But Portland 87 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: has decided that they have They've gonna They're gonna lean 88 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: into this a little bit, all right. Portland tourism bosses 89 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: are slammed for taking out full page ad in the 90 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: New York Times admitting the riot hit city has an edge, 91 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: but locals still love it. I mean, this is real, 92 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: this is serious. I mean they actually did this full 93 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: page ad. Here's what it says. Remember, folks, this is 94 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: a place that has had a five x increase in 95 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: homicides year every year. This is in place where there 96 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: are it seems like nightly I maybe they're weekly riots 97 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: in downtown with Antifa cosplay, lunatics throwing molotov cocktails at cops, 98 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: doing all kinds of madness. And here's what folks in 99 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: Portland's It's It's amazing, isn't it. The tour there is embosses. 100 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the people who are in charge of getting 101 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: you to go visit. Here's what they say in this 102 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: full page New York Times ad. You've heard a lot 103 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: about us lately. It's been a while since you've heard 104 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: from us. Some of what you've heard about Portland is true, 105 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: some is not. What matters most is that we're true 106 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: to ourselves. There's a river that cuts through the middle 107 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: of our town. It divides the east and the west, 108 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: but it's bridged over and over again, twelve times, to 109 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: be specific. And that's kind of a great metaphor for 110 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: this city. We're a place of dualities that are never polarities, 111 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: two sides the same coin that keep landing right on 112 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: its edge. Anything can happen. We like it this way. 113 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: This is the kind of place where new ideas are welcome, 114 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: whether they're creative, cutting edge or curious at first glance. 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: You can speak up here, you can be yourself. We 116 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: have some of the loudest voices on the West Coast. Yes, 117 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: passion pushes the volume all the way up we've always 118 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: been like this. We wouldn't have it any other way. 119 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: Come see for yourself. These people are out of their minds. 120 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is their version of yeah, okay, so 121 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: sometimes things get a little crazy, but yeah, this is 122 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: them trying to tell you that it used to be 123 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: the keep Portland weird slogan, which I know Austin also 124 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: uses keep Portland weird. Now it's keep Portland and anarcart anarchic, 125 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: tough word to say, anarchic mess with lawlessness and absurdity 126 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: and insanity on the streets. That's what's actually happening. And 127 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: it's just how many places can we look at? How 128 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: many places can we point to where we immediately can 129 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: see the numbers, but also just the perception has rapidly 130 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: deteriorated as a result. Now is where we get into 131 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: why and how this plays out of New York City 132 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 1: as a result of the defund the police narrative, which 133 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: it's not just a narrative too, it's really a political framework. 134 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: Everyone needs to remember that this is not This is 135 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: not the same as when AOC was am I gaslight 136 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: We said totally got rid of immigrations, the costumes and 137 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: firescement because like they're look so bad and they're so mean. 138 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: She was saying stupid stuff like that, but not quite 139 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: in those words. But there was never actually a movement 140 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: to do it. There were cities, including New York that 141 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: defunded police, that took money out of the budget, which 142 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: resulted in a dramatic change in the deployment of law 143 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: enforcement resources. Same thing in Minneapolis. So here's just another example, 144 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: just just data points for you. A survey of roughly 145 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: two hundred police departments finds that retirements are up forty 146 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: five percent and resignations are up eighteen percent when compared 147 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: with the previous year. So this is not one police department, 148 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: because what they keep doing is saying, oh, that's just 149 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: one city, that doesn't represent the whole. When you start 150 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: to aggregate the day to the trend is even more clear. 151 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: What you see in one city here, one city there 152 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: is even more apparent when you add in a whole 153 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: bunch of data sets for major metropolitan areas across the 154 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: United States. So two hundred police departments and a forty 155 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: five percent retirement increase, do you think that all of 156 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: a sudden there was a big bulge in the age 157 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: bracket here of people that wanted to get out all 158 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden or was it just that they realized, 159 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: better go now before my pensions in jeopardy because of 160 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: some BS investigation, not just from a lethal force incident. 161 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: You got to remember that. Oh no, there's so much more. 162 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: Under this Biden Justice Department, they're going to be trying 163 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: to find police departments to do a full shall we say, 164 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: a full audit in the name of critical race theory 165 00:09:53,559 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: and finding racism. They're gonna go deep diving looking for 166 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: systemic racism, looking for evidence that someone who works for 167 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: a certain police department passed along racially insensitive email or 168 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: text message at some point, and then they'll say, ah, 169 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: we need federal oversight of this department. Now, we need 170 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: to actually put you in a consent decree situation, that's 171 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: what they call it. So understand that it's not just 172 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: the lethal force incidents. It's people just trying to do 173 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: it's guys doing desk jobs too. And you could say, well, 174 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: if you haven't done anything, this is a very Soviet 175 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: secret police mentality. But if you haven't done anything, you 176 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: have nothing to fear. It's actually also not true, as 177 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: somebody who worked in a very large police department and 178 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: was around for some internal investigations that occurred. Not of me. 179 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: I kept I kept a clean a clean sheet, folks. 180 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: I kept it all good, but I was aware of 181 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: and occasionally, let's just say, far too close for comfort 182 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: to some internal affairs situations, and it can ruin people's careers, 183 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: even when they're found innocent. The process at some level 184 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: is the punishment. So you have to remember that as well. 185 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: It's more than just Okay, we have some people who 186 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: are who are bad apples, we have to find them. No, 187 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: you're you're going to put all the apples in a 188 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: very confined and uncomfortable bin or barrel, whateverever you put apples. 189 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: So this is why it's important to understand the overall 190 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: trend among law enforcement agencies across the country. And this 191 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: is happening because they know that they don't have political 192 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: backing to do their jobs. And when the state's use 193 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: of force is always going to be undermined by the 194 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: whims of the mob, and that's what's really happening here. 195 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: You're going to constantly have law enforcement feeling like they 196 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: can't really do their jobs because it is a tough job. 197 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: It's not being a public school at Mini straighter who 198 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: has to zoom into a meeting once a day. It's 199 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: actually challenging, and there are real risks to being a 200 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: law enforcement But you would know it from the way 201 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: that it's talked about by the leftists. They always always 202 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: seem to take the side of the criminal. This is 203 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: something that if you just pay attention to the way 204 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: they cover the news, if you watch MSNBC and CNN 205 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: just for a few shows, for a few nights, you'll 206 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: see that the two greatest threats we are in a 207 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: period of a surge of violence, of homicides, of shootings 208 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: in America. This is beyond dispute. This is a matter 209 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: of facts and figures. It is known, it is clear. Well, then, 210 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: why is it that when you turn on these other channels, 211 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: or when you click on the New York Times, the 212 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Washkin Post, and those are just the top of the 213 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: heap of the leftist trash sites that are out there 214 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: right There are so many of them. I can't name 215 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: them all. But why is it that when you click 216 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: on them you'll see a fixation on the insurrection and 217 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: if they can some story about a cop somewhere who 218 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: had to use lethal force, and they'll leave out it's 219 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: one of their favorite tactics. They'll leave out key data 220 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: points that make it seem in the early hours like 221 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: this must have been another another one of those racist 222 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: police killings of an unarmed black man. That's the narrative, 223 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: that's the story that they go for. You're observing it 224 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: because it's there. Always remember this, whether you're looking fifty 225 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: years back in the Soviet Union or you're thinking about 226 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: America today. When the people who seek to control you 227 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: insist that you cannot observe what is around you, you 228 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: are in a fight for reality. And that's what's actually 229 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: happening in the country today about law enforcement. And there 230 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: are very powerful forces that are a rayed against this. 231 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: There are a lot of folks out there who don't 232 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: believe that it really matters. I know that it's a 233 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: harsh thing to say, but it's a true thing to say. 234 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter the cops are leaving their departments. They 235 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: view this as a necessary transformation. And I understand that 236 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: you're thinking this is crazy. They can't know they do. 237 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: They view this as a necessary process of transition. Because 238 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: there is even on the left and I've spoken to 239 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: leftists about this and abolish the police idea, but they 240 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: can't get there right away. They know the public's not 241 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: quite with them. They went with defund even though it's 242 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: very vague, very open ended, because they even in the 243 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: aftermath of the George Floyd incident, they knew that abolish 244 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: the police just sounded like a criminals dream come true. 245 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: And this is insane, but that is something that they 246 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: do believe they can achieve. And you'd say, well, what 247 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: do they want in place of it? Social workers, community 248 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: violence interrupters. Do you think I just made up that phrase, 249 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: by the way, because I didn't. That's a thing that 250 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: they actually talk about on the left, violence interrupters in 251 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: some places, even a program they've tried to institute. Yeah, 252 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: I know of some violence interrupters. There's the men and 253 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: women who carry badges in guns for their local and 254 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: state police departments and stop people from doing bad things, 255 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: including bad people from doing bad things. You know, there 256 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: are the mistakes that any of us could have made. 257 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: And then there is always in society a very very 258 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: small percentage of a truly malevolent criminal element that seeks 259 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: to prey upon everyone else. And we can either have 260 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: it be rule of the strong. I know a lot 261 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: of you are gonna say, well, buck, I've got four 262 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: rs and I've got my EO TEX and I'm all 263 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: ready to go. And you know, but we actually don't 264 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: want to have to be our own police force day 265 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: in and day out, at least not right now. We're 266 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: not ready for that. We're not prepared for it, certainly 267 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: not in major cities. And remember for everyone who thinks 268 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: that that would work out in some theoretical sense, because well, 269 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: you'd have people that would step in and they would 270 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: stop violence from occurring. Okay, but without a police force, 271 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you who's going to handle ninety 272 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, five percent, ninety nine percent. I'm making up 273 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: this number. But as you know, almost all of what 274 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: law enforcements doing day in and day out is not 275 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: about violent crime. It's about property crime. It's about you know, 276 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: traffic accidents and just things like that. So this is 277 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: where rule of law does come in. Yes, of course, 278 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: having firearms to defend yourself and your family is a 279 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: is a basic right, not just a constitution right, a 280 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: natural law right. But we do need people to you know, 281 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: we need people to direct the traffic. I don't know 282 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's I think that's going to have 283 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: to continue on for quite some time. But I want 284 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: to dive into the New York City mayor race and 285 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: why this matters so much when it comes to defund 286 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: the police and what it could mean for the whole country. 287 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: But first, I don't know if you've ever had this 288 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: experience I have, and it's where you have a problem, 289 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: like I got an order from something from something that 290 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: I bought online and it was wrong. They had a 291 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: problem with it, and I was able to use a 292 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: text messaging service, Podium, to tell them what the problem was, 293 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: give them my order number. They got a fixed, I 294 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: got the new order shipped, and I was good to go. 295 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: It took less than a minute. I mean maybe forty 296 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: five seconds too for the whole transaction. No calling, no talking, 297 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: no nothing.

But 326 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: the New York City mayor's race is a microcosm of 327 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: what the national conversation is turning into right now around 328 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: law enforcement issues. And so that's why it matters to 329 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: see who comes out on top. Now there is there. 330 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: There are a handful of Republicans in the race, Mateo 331 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: and Curtis Sleepan. Now Curtis everyone that I know who 332 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: knows Curtis, I've interviewed him, I don't know him well, 333 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: says he's a really good guy, understands how to clean 334 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: up the city, would be very tough on crime. And remember, 335 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: tough on crime means protective and supportive of the ninety 336 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of people who just want to 337 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: live in their neighborhood safely. Right, Tough on crime is 338 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: a good thing. I know Democrats sometimes need hear that, 339 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: but it's unfortunately an eight to one advantage in New 340 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: York City. By registration, the Democrats greatly outnumber and out 341 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 1: vote Republicans, and that's why it's probably going to be 342 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: one of these Democrat candidates. You've got Eric Adams, Sean Donovan. So, 343 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: Eric Adam is a former police captain and he's the 344 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: borough president for Brooklyn. Shawn Donovan a former federal Housing secretary. 345 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: Katherine Garcia former city sanitation commissioner. Raymond McGuire he's a 346 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: wealthy Wall Street guy Wall Street executive. Diane Morales a 347 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: nonprofit executive. She's got no shot. Scott Stringer, the city comptroller. 348 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: He's had a recent scandal. I think he's got no shot. 349 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: Maya Wiley a radical leftist supported by AOC who was 350 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: a counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio, which should mean 351 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: that that alone should block her from even being in contention. 352 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: And then Andrew Yang, the most famous of all these 353 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: candidates because of his presidential run. Interesting to see how 354 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: this is shaking out. Remember, New York's got a little 355 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: over eight million people lost lost some pretty substantial population 356 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: in the last eighteen months or so. But here's here's 357 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: how this all breaks down. Yang is the universal basic 358 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: income guy who also wants to be pretty business friendly 359 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: and bring tourism back to New York. Other than that, 360 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't really seem to have a strong core of 361 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: beliefs on anything. It's kind of just whatever he thinks 362 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: he's supposed to say in the moment. Scott Stringer kind 363 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: of a typical left wing Democrat machine politician. Mcguires. He's smart. 364 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he was a very successful Wall Street executive. 365 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: He's less less frightening as a candidate to me than 366 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: many of the many of the others. Catherine Garcia, sanitation commissioner. Okay, 367 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: she look garbage pickup. They cut the sanitation budget New 368 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: York by a lot over one hundred million dollars, I believe, 369 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: and so the streets have been filthy and smelling and 370 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: its gross. Yeah, I know a lot of your Yeah. 371 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: Buck moved the Florida moved the taxes. Although California, you 372 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: better not be pointing any fingers about bad governance right now, 373 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: because I know, I know what's going on in Los 374 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Angeles and San Francisco. I got a lot of friends 375 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: in those places. I'm just saying, so you're you're in 376 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: this with me, California. Don't don't start getting don't start 377 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: getting up at it with me. And then there's Eric Adams, 378 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: who is the number one in the polling right now, 379 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Borough President. Here's why this is important, why 380 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: this matters for all of you, right not to force 381 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: you to think about a mayor election that doesn't really 382 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: affect you directly because most of you listening to this 383 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: or all across the country and not living in New 384 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: York City. But the only reason Eric Adams is leading 385 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: is because he's the guy who seems as a Democrat 386 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: to be the toughest on crime and the moment, and 387 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: that really means the most supportive of law enforcement. He 388 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: is somebody who would even consider bringing back some of 389 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: the special tactic tactics and procedures teams that the NYPD 390 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: got rid of, the Plane Closed Unit, for example, which 391 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: was a very effective anti crime unit. So he's he's 392 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: somebody who is supportive enough of law enforcement that you 393 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: feel like the city would have a fighting chance. So 394 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Eric Adams may in fact be the guy. But then 395 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: you look down the list, I don't think it's gonna 396 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: be Yang Yang's not. You know, He's just he has 397 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: some star power because he created a brand for himself 398 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: in the last Democratic election. But I don't see it. 399 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: Then you have mya wily and my Wiley didn't really 400 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: get all that much attention until recently. But she's someone 401 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: who has the backing of AOC SO the radical left. 402 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: She's the there's a lot of leftists in this race, 403 00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: but she's the the chosen the the chosen front for 404 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: the radical left. And she's somebody who wants to continue 405 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: with budget cuts to the NYPD. She's somebody who really 406 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: believes that this current trend of undermining law enforcement, cutting 407 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: back their fund and cutting back on their budgets is 408 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: the best thing for New York. Now that's fascinating because 409 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: she is the classic liberal, the ultimate liberal in so 410 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: many ways, because she lives in an almost three million 411 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: dollar mansion in Brooklyn and pays dues to an association, 412 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 1: a neighborhood association that has private security. Oh wait a second, 413 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: You mean the lady who wants to defund police for 414 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: eight million other people, not including the wealthy and the 415 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: elites who have private security and all the rest of it. 416 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: But those folks, those folks, it's too bad. But she 417 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: wants to have of her own private security force to 418 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: make sure that you know, no one graffiti's up her 419 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: neighborhood or breaks her window. Or does much worse stuff 420 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: than that on her front lawn. And you know, we 421 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: are all very aware of this hypocrisy. And while it 422 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: won't be represented in the way that the media covers 423 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: it as some major repudiation, no matter what, the media 424 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: will never admit the defund the police was a reckless thing, 425 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: pushed by people not affected by the bad outcome here, 426 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: pushed by people who knew that they would continue to 427 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: be safe, and then beyond that, who are dishonest about 428 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: the outcome, right, who won't even tell you the truth. 429 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: Why was defund the police such a disaster? Well, they 430 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: don't want to say. They certainly don't want to look 431 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: at the data. They don't want to look at what 432 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: ended up happening in city after city. So the radical 433 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: left wing Canada, if maya wiley because they have ranked 434 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: voting in New York, so it's gonna be it's tough 435 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: to say who's gonna win because your first if you 436 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: don't get to fifty percent with all these different candidates, 437 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: then it goes into a ranked system and then they 438 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: keep dropping. They do a recount, but they drop the 439 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: bottom ranked person of all the rankings. So you rank 440 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: one through five and so you know, the fifth tier 441 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: candidate goes, and then the fourth tier candidate, and then 442 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: they retabulate all the votes based upon the ranking system. 443 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: If Maya Wiley wins the New York City mayor's race, 444 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right, New York City is done for 445 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: the next five to ten years. It's over. You're gonna 446 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: see people anybody who is either who is in a 447 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: position to leave, is gonna say I'm out now. I 448 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: know a lot of people can't. They got family there, 449 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: they got people, they got to take care of. Their 450 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: job is there. So that's the thing Democrats, you know, 451 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: they turn it into like a Shawshank situation. They're like, 452 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: what do you mean, why won't you leave? And you're like, well, 453 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: because of all the the bars and the gates that 454 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: it's not it's not that easy to leave, right. They 455 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: want to keep you there. But like Andy Dufrain, I'm 456 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna be breaking out of the tunnel and having the 457 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: thunder and lightning flash light on my face if and 458 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be either to the Florida or to somewhere 459 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: because I can't handle having a defund the police radical 460 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: running the city of New York. It's just too insane 461 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: after what the city's been through. But if she loses 462 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: and Eric Adams wins, it's because people have started to 463 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: have enough and we may be at the turning of 464 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: the tide. We may be at the point where people 465 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: start to see the reality of what has really happened here. 466 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: All right, Critical race theory. This is fascinating to me 467 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: because for a long time, critical race theory was something 468 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: I wrote. I think I mentioned this to you before 469 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: I wrote on my senior thesis was effectively about critical 470 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: race theory and how it applies to campus college campus 471 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: speech codes. This is when I was an undergraduate and 472 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: political science, and that the basis for speech codes was essentially, 473 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: there's there are disparities in society because of structural racism. 474 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: So while we can all agree that there should be 475 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: free speech Comma, there really shouldn't be free speech because 476 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: some people are more able to be hurt with words 477 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: than others, and some people are more likely to be 478 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: oppressed with words than other people are. And see, that's 479 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: that's how they applied the critical race theory framework, that 480 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: racial Marxism of CRT and the way that it was applied. 481 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: So now we look at what's going on today, And 482 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people have found out, especially because they've 483 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: been home during during zoom teaching sessions for their kids. 484 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: A lot of people have found out, what kind of 485 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: stuff are we being taught? Or are kids being taught? Well, 486 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: we the American people, but our children, what are they 487 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: being taught? And they see this critical race theory garbage, 488 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: this divisive, victimology, oppress or obsessed garbage that is so 489 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: destructive to the fabric of this country. When people believe 490 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: this stuff and notice that there's never there's never a 491 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: fix other than put the critical race theorists and their 492 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: allies in charge. Give them more power. That's the only answer. 493 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: There's no actual We just want that. Just give us this, 494 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: just pass this legislation, change this rule, or even here's 495 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: a system we could all agree on. It's let us 496 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: make the decisions. Give us power. Oh, isn't that so convenient. 497 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: But there's a defensiveness now about CRT. People are seeing 498 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: what it is, and so on the other side, now 499 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: people are also starting to say, oh, they're figuring this out, 500 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: and that's why you have this constant and shifting, this 501 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: constant maneuvering going on in the media, where one minute 502 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: it's oh, that's not CRT. The next minute it's, oh, well, 503 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: this person who's criticizing it, they don't have a degree 504 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: in critical race theory, so they can't talk about they 505 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: don't have a PhD in CRT. And then it's CRTs 506 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: isn't even really a thing, it's not even really being 507 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: taught in schools. Oh, this is all just in your imagination. 508 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: They're lying, they're gas lighting, they're misdirecting all over the place. 509 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. I'm sorry, not Chuck Schumer, Chuck Todd. There's 510 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: a different awful Chuck. There's some bad chucks out there. 511 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: Had a show, you know, one of those morning shows 512 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: that are Sunday shows that only people who work in 513 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: politics watch, and I do it so I can trash 514 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: it the next days. It's supposed to set the Democrat 515 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: narrative for the week, and it's just left wing talking 516 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: points garbage. Here's Chuck Todd on on parental criticism of 517 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: CRT play eleven. You mentioned critical race a couple of times. 518 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: This is a parent led backlash at the grassroots level, 519 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: but it's manufactured. No, it's completely and then and then 520 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: sort of elected essentials lit. The fire was lit. I disagree. 521 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: I think it started because parents have had it with 522 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: the education barocracy after COVID. They're fed up with it. 523 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: They tend to trust Democrats when it comes to education funding, 524 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: but they trust Republicans on education accountability. I think that 525 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: what the backlash you're seeing on critical race theory in 526 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: schools is another example of parents trying to hold educators accountable. 527 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: It's coordinated, it's aggressive, it's intentional rights. This is part 528 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: of the tribalism play. The critical race theory is yet 529 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: another tool in the in the in the racial tribal 530 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: boogeyman's toolbox to drive and inflame tribalism, which Republicans think 531 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: things helps them in elections. This is this is this 532 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: is Trump two point zero. This is is a continuation 533 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: of this right. Critical race theory is is an arcadean 534 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: sort of ideal. Why is it front center right now? 535 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: The same reason that Mitch McConnell attacks Stacy Abrams when 536 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: she came out and the voting bill. It is racial, 537 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: it is tribalism. We've seen it grow under Trump, and 538 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: this is part and partial of it. And they think 539 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: this helps ignite their base. There's no way this is 540 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: not grassroots, and Brad, you know this is organized and 541 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: is being paid for and absolutely is grassroots. So that 542 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: individual on that panel is just saying so many either 543 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: stupid or false things, depending on which one we're talking about. 544 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: It's just not true. I mean, I have emails all 545 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: over from all over the country from parents who are horrified. 546 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: Schools that I know in New York City, schools that 547 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: I went to in New York City are teaching critical 548 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: race theory and the parents are telling me about it. 549 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: They're sending me the actual teaching materials. But but let's 550 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: before we get into the gas lighting of there really 551 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: is no CRT. Before we go down that pathway, let's 552 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: start with this another important thought here. Notice that the 553 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: way the way that they set this up, the way 554 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: that this is being discussed, if you criticize CRT, you're 555 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: being a racist. If you criticize CRT, you're being racist. 556 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: That is so convenient, isn't it? Or you're you're being 557 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: it's racial. I believe you referred to it as a 558 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: racial tribalism was the quote used there? If But think 559 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: about this all right, an entire ideology that's meant to 560 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: give an excuse to any leftist to call anything or 561 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: any one racist. The defense of it is criticizing that 562 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: ideology is itself racist? Oh isn't that so helpful? Oh 563 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: isn't that so convenient? Yes, criticizing the very ideology of 564 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: CRT is a racist act. What could be more perfect 565 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: than that? What could be more obvious than that? Right, 566 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: of course, it's completely insane, it's absurd. But this is 567 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: what we are dealing with in the realm of CRT. 568 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: This is what is actually happening across the country. They 569 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: are all these different defenses of it and all these 570 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: different justifications for it, because no one defense will withstand scrutiny, 571 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: no person. And this is why Chris Rufo when he 572 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: was challenged, are challenging rather Joy Reid and saying, let 573 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: me come on your show. She said no, of course, 574 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: and said that it was a white man's demand. I 575 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: believe was the quote or the demand of a white man, 576 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: which is I mean, I thought it was a really 577 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: ugly thing to say. I really but not surprised MSNBC. 578 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: I mean, she's a minority anchor and MSNBC, and she's 579 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: going to always have much greater leeway, and that's putting 580 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: it mildly than somebody who was not in those categories 581 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: demographic categories at MSNBC. We all know there's a difference 582 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: in standards, a double standard. But she trashes Chris Ruffo, 583 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 1: who has done you know, what his work has and 584 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: by the way, he's done great work, and I'm a 585 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: supporter of what he's done, to be very clear, but 586 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: it's pretty straightforward. He's just found in schools, in government 587 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 1: of facilities and agencies, he's found critical race theory teaching 588 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: and shown it to the public. And what did the 589 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: Democrats And as you say, oh, that's not really CRT 590 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: or that's just a one offer, that's just always trying 591 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: to minimize. And now they realize the minimization game isn't working. 592 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: People are starting to see this for what it really is, 593 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: so then they try the outright gas lighting, which is 594 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: an extreme of minimization meant to unbalance. Hold on a second. 595 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: We went from oh, it's not that much to there's none. 596 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: How does that happen? They do the same thing with 597 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: voter fraud. By the way, Democrats will always what's the 598 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: first thing we hear from democrats? There is no voter fraud. 599 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: And then eventually they're in a position where somebody will 600 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: fact check them and say, well, people go to prison 601 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: for it. There definitely is voter fraud. They go, oh, fine, 602 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: they would say there is no voter fraud because a 603 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: lot of people hear them and going, well, I guess 604 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: there is no voter fraud. There is no CRT teaching 605 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: in a systematic way in America. It's a lie, but 606 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: a lot of people will hear that and they'll just 607 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: say yeah, you know, and then the person that brings 608 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: it up, the person that wants to address CRT is 609 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: the problem. You see, They're they're lying because they're the 610 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: ones talking about this. I'm I'm continuing to wonder how 611 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: long they can they can keep this up and keep 612 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: up this pretense that this is somehow a right wing 613 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: this is a right wing thing. They've seized. The left 614 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: has seized control of our classrooms. They're indoctrining kids all 615 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: across the country. And when we say, hey, this is 616 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: what's going on there, what are you talking about? Why 617 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: are you so focused on this? Why are you making 618 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: such a big deal of it? Right, It's kind of 619 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: like the toxic relationships some of you may have had 620 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: toxic relationships in the past. I have had a couple 621 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: of myself, not terribly toxic, but I've had you know, 622 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm almost forty years old and I've I've had my 623 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: share of relationships. And you know, it's it's one of 624 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: those things where you could say, hey, you know, we 625 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: were supposed to have dinner with my family and you 626 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: were you know, you're like forty five minutes late, and 627 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: you really only told me ten minutes before you arrived, 628 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: and you know, could you And it's you know, you 629 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: didn't clean the dishes last night, And this is a 630 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: way of avoiding the subject at hand, and it just 631 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: destroys all trust because you're not operating on a plane 632 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: of rational thought and reasonableness. That's what democrats are doing. 633 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: On critical race theory. We say, hold on a second, 634 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 1: look what's going on here. They say, that's not what's 635 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: going on. We said, no, we think it is. How 636 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: dare you bring this up? It's manufactured. This is the 637 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: game that they play. You know something I do every 638 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: day now is I invest I'm a stock investor.

Kristen Cinema standing strong with the filibuster. I 666 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I know you're gonna some of you're 667 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: gonna yell at me, and I maybe deserve it. But 668 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: do you know Cinemas, I don't know. She's She's not 669 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: the worst. She's not the worst of the Libs. Okay, 670 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: she's okay. I think she's all right of the of 671 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: the lib If you have to pick a Democrat senator, 672 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 1: I think she'd be at the at the upper end 673 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: of Democrats center. So that means she's wrong. You know, 674 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: she votes the wrong way or she takes the wrong position, 675 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: you know, ninety five percent of the time, because most 676 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: of the Democrats, it's one hundred percent. They never surprise you. 677 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: So to be the best of the worst in a 678 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: sense as a Democrat is to be a Kristin Cinema 679 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: who at least says you know what, The filibuster is 680 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: something that we gotta keep. The filibuster is worth having. 681 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: We have more to lose than gain by ending the filibuster. 682 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: This was in the Washington Post. Here's here's what she writes. 683 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: And that's right. I'm actually going to quote a little 684 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: bit from Kristen. By the way, it's so hard. We 685 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 1: gotta come together as a nation. We gotta come together 686 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: as a country and decide whether it's Kirstin or Kristen. Okay, 687 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: we can't have both these names, folks. We're a civilized nation. 688 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: It's Kirsten or Kristen. I can't do both, all right. 689 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: Everyday Arizona, she writes, are focused on questions that matter 690 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: most in their daily life. Is my job secure? Can 691 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: I expand my business? Okay, YadA, YadA, YadA. Arizons expect 692 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: me to do what I promised when I ran for 693 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: the House in the Senate, to be independent like Arizona, 694 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: and to work with anyone to achieve lasting results. That means, 695 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: rather than temporary victories designed to be destined to be reversed, 696 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: undermining the certainty that America's families and employers depend on 697 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: the best way to achieve durable, lasting results by partisan cooperation. 698 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: That's right, by partisan cooperation. It's no secret that I 699 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: opposed limiting the Senate sixty vote threshold. I held the 700 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,959 Speaker 1: same view during three terms the US House, and said 701 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: the same Afterwads elected the Senate in twenty eighteen. If 702 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: anyone expected me to reverse my position because my party 703 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: now controls the Senate, they should know that my approach 704 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: legislating in Congress is a saying, whether in the minority 705 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: or the majority, Folks, she's defending the filibuster, and she's 706 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: doing so at least making an argument based upon principle. 707 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: Defending the filibuster with an argument based on principle, It's amazing, 708 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: isn't it. Look I call balls and strikes when Democrats 709 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: do the right thing. I don't trash it just because 710 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: it's a Democrat. I don't disagree with it just because 711 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 1: a Democrat. I say, all right, looks like we got something, 712 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: looks like we've you know, got to point this one 713 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: out and say, okay, you know, maybe they needed John 714 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: McCain on their side once in a while, you know, 715 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: is it? That? Isn't that nice? That's basically what this is. 716 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: Because Democrats leftist Democrats are seething over this, furious over this, 717 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: and no surprise because it means that basically, there's not 718 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: going to be there's not going to be a steamroller 719 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: of legislation coming out from a Democrat party. So now 720 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: we're just gonna you can expect pretty much for at 721 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: least the rest of this year Democrats status quo. Yeah, 722 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: knowing regulations, too much, spending, high taxes, some more, you know, 723 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: dumb statements on whether it's foreign policy or energy or whatever. 724 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: But they're not there's not a if this holds, I 725 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: know some are you gonna yell me bock, but she 726 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: could change her mind. I know there's still pressure and 727 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: maybe she's just raising the price of her changing her 728 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: mind when this op ed. But if she holds, and 729 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: this current balance in the Senate stays where it is 730 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: on this issue of the filibuster, there's not going to 731 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 1: be an Obama care level legislative event in Biden's first 732 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: terms is not going to happen. Now that paradoxically, and 733 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: this is where we really get into some four dchess 734 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 1: that may be helpful to Democrats, it would be it 735 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: would be bad for the country for them to get 736 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: through a massive like a massive amnesty for example, that 737 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: would that would be very bad for the country, I believe. 738 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: But because they can't do that, what are they going 739 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: to be saying going in the midterms? Obstruction? Obstruction, obstruction, 740 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna say things aren't that bad. That's them. 741 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: The Democrat version of good is we're not in a 742 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, in a giant war or a horrible depression. 743 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: Vote for us again. But that's what I think you're 744 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: going to see. And that's uh, that's gonna be very 745 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 1: interesting how this how this dynamic ends up playing out 746 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: going into the midterm elections, which are going to be 747 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 1: here before you know it, folks, it's already June.
