4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: It's good to say the truth starting to trickle out,

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: not just about the lab leake theory, but also about

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: doctor Fouci himself. A conniving, sniveling on the one hand,

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: on the other hand, both side of his mouth talking democrat.

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: That's who doctor Fouci is. That's what we've been subjected

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: to for over a year. And finally people understand why

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I have found this guy to be such an odious

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: little lab coat tyrant. And the more we dig into

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: this and hear his babbling, nonsensical explanations, the more clear

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: it is. Some of us were right all along. We

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: knew who the doctor was. But I'll dive more into

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: this in a moment. I want to make sure that

16

00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: data always seems to be under the magnifying class by

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: big tech. There's anxiety of not having control of your

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: online data while it's being manipulated and sold to advertisers.

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: But now there's a new way with the ultimate privacy

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,520

Speaker 1: for your emails. Is it because China is so opaque?

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Is it because who was not sharing information? Why is

40
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: this so difficult? There are several reasons Willie Wi's difficult

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: I think one of the things is that we need

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: better access to all the information. I mean, it's obviously

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: in China's interest to find out exactly what it is,

44
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: and the is of the natural theory would be defined

45
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: that link, so you have to keep looking for it.

46
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you want openness and cooperation. One of

47
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: the ways you can get it is don't be accusatory.

48
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Try to get both a forensic, a scientific and an

49
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: investigational approach. I think the accusatory part about it is

50
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: only going to get them to pull back even more.

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: We've got to do it in a combination of diplomacy,

52
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: scientific forensic investigation, and do it in a way that

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: the people of good faith, not who want to do blame,

54
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: but people in good faith are really trying to find

55
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: out what the origin is. Whoever seeing a lot of

56
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't even want to describe it, a

57
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: lot of pointing of fingers and things like that. Keep

58
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: an open mind and go after the truth. Go after

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: the truth. He says, as if the Chinese Communist Party

60
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: could give a fauci about the truth. Give me a break, friends,

61
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: this is absurd, absurd, But he's a bureaucrat he's a democrat,

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: he's a collectivist, and he does not want people to

63
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: start asking questions. That's been the case all along. Don't

64
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: you see the pattern here, There's a very clear theme.

65
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: Doctor Anthony Fauci has no interest whatsoever in being questioned.

66
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: He is interested in giving pronouncements, and the moment anybody

67
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: has a second of doubt, he just falls back on

68
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: the science, as if that explains the whole situation, as

69
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: if there's no doubt in science. This whole process, the

70
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: scientific method, inquiry based upon fact and reason and experiment

71
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: and data, has been corrupted during this pandemic by bureaucrats

72
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: acting as monarchs, telling us what we can and cannot do,

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: where we can and can't go, who we can see,

74
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: how we can live, how we can breathe. And now

75
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: finally we're seeing yet another instance of how the Fauciites

76
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: were wrong, and worse than being wrong, they faked certainty

77
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: and lied lied to the public about the degree of

78
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: their knowledge and how right they were. Fauci won't criticize China.

79
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Why because he's somebody who believes that the scientific community

80
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: is effectively a global government of source. The scientific community

81
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: has the say in this. They determine, not even your

82
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 1: own government determines. They determine the expert consensus what happens

83
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: in the midst of a global pandemic. And they are

84
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: beyond reproach. In fact, they are above criticism, because that's

85
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: how important they are, how right, how smart, brilliant, even

86
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: the fauciite consensus makers are. They were wrong on pretty

87
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: much everything, friends everything. They were wrong on masks, by

88
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: their own admission, because at least at first they said

89
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: masks are dumb and don't protect you. Cloth masks are

90
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: a joke, essentially, and then they changed on that. So

91
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: they were definitely wrong. It's just a question of how

92
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: many times they were wrong about school closures. They were

93
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: wrong about the effects of lockdowns. They were wrong about

94
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: expanding fourteen days to slow the spread to fourteen months,

95
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: basically to slow the spread. The whole thing was a debacle,

96
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: and the very origins of the story itself, as you see,

97
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: were rife with lies and fraud and the instinct to suppress,

98
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: to shut down free inquiry, and to pretend that this

99
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: was effectively a settled issue. They loved this notion of

100
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: the settled science. But what we see is that the

101
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: same apparatus of suppression that insisted the lab leak theory

102
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: was a conspiracy theory. Have spent over a year shutting

103
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: down honest debate about masks and lockdown effectiveness. What's the

104
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: lesson we take from this? Authoritarian censorship is a bad idea,

105
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: even when its proponents wear lab coats. It's essential. And

106
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: what we're also taking from this is that Faucci was

107
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: a bigger fraud as pandemic hero than Cuomo or Newsom

108
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: or any of the idiot Democrat governors who thought that

109
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: by basically telling you to lock yourself in a closet

110
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: and wrap five plastic bags around your head because of

111
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: the virus the science, they were heroes for that, but

112
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: we know that they're morons. Fauci was supposed to be

113
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: better than that. Give it time, everybody will see the truth,

114
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: though some will never accept it. Fauci is awful. Fauci

115
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: is the worst of all the people that abused the

116
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: public's mind. Of all the people that created mass panic

117
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: and anxiety, unnecessarily none none were as pervasive as the

118
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: constant presence on your TV screen, the constantly quoted in

119
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: the media, doctor Fauci. How many little lab code authoritarians

120
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: work at the NIH. How many work at the CDC

121
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: A lot? So why is it the only one you've

122
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: really heard of or the only one you've ever seen,

123
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: is this little Anthony Fauci character. Because he was elevated

124
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: into something much more than just a bureaucrat who's supposed

125
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: to be reporting on numbers and advising politicians. He became

126
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: a symbol, a symbol for the lockdowners, a saint of sorts,

127
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: although I'm sure that many of the people we're talking

128
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: about here object to the very notion of saints. He

129
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: was elevated as the great King of the Lockdowners. And

130
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: now we see that it was all a mess, a fraud.

131
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: These emails are exposing more and more of who doctor

132
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: Fauci really is, and now people are talking about a

133
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: cover up. Now you are seeing that there was gain

134
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: of function research being done, that this is a real thing,

135
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: that it's not a conspiracy theory, and that there were

136
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: only and this is according to a piece in Vanity Fair,

137
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: three places in the world, one I believe in Houston,

138
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the Carolinas, and one in China, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

139
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: That we're doing a kind of research on bat coronaviruses

140
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: that could have led to an outbreak. And we find

141
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: out that while in the early day of this pandemic,

142
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: we were told that it was a biosafety level four facility,

143
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,119
Speaker 1: right the highest. In fact, the Wuhan Institute of Virology

144
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: had several wings that were about a dentist office level

145
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: of viral protection and viral safety protocols. Virus protocols. That's

146
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: important for us to know, isn't it. That's important for

147
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: us to see, And yet that information was hidden the

148
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: bureaucrats in the global health bureaucracy. These are really just

149
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: un people in lab coats. That really makes it clear, right,

150
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: these are un bureaucrats who work for you know, whether

151
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: it's the World Health Organization or even our own CDC.

152
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: They are collectivist bureaucrats, and they knew they had to

153
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: do a lot of what we call cya. The young

154
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: ones in the audience, you can ask your parents to

155
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: explain that one to you. I can't. I don't want

156
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: to say that one of the air CYA cover your something.

157
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: That's what they were doing make sure the public couldn't

158
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: figure out the real origins of this virus and to

159
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: think that it came from a bad and then there

160
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: was an intermediary species. Okay, maybe that's still true, but

161
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: they certainly did not know that to be true, and

162
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: they pretended they did because they didn't even want the

163
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: possibility to be out there that this came from research

164
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: that was funded in part by US dollars. If you

165
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: give money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, you are

166
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: funding the Wuhan Institute. That money is going into the

167
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: pockets of the people making decisions there. It doesn't really

168
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: made matter. Money is fungible, right, it doesn't really matter

169
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: if you were funding directly that research or something else.

170
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: I would not give money to plan Parenthood, even though

171
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: they say that they send people for outsourced mamograms or something, right,

172
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: because I don't want to fund planned Parenthood. I think

173
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: it should be defunded. Whole other conversation. But they funded

174
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a third party. US

175
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: dollars went to somebody, Peter Dajak, This guy very involved

176
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: in the early days of the messaging campaign around all this.

177
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: And it starts to stink to high heavens, friends, it

178
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: smells like cover up. It smells like information operation, not

179
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: just against the American people, against the world. Think of

180
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: what the implications are here, Yes, for the Chinese Communist Party,

181
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: but for the global scientific community, think about what this

182
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: would mean. A lot of people will go to pretty

183
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: extreme lengths to make sure that the truth about this

184
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: is whatever they want it to be. Our perception of

185
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: truth is whatever they decide it must be. Can't you

186
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: see how Fauci was doing just that in the early days.

187
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: The emails paint a disturbing picture, a disturbing picture of

188
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: doctor Fauchi from the very beginning, worrying that he had

189
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: been funding gain a function research and he knows it

190
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: to this day, but hasn't admitted. We have to get

191
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: Democrat counterparts that will actually use the committee hearings to

192
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: investigate this. But so far it's been such a partisan

193
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: support for doctor Fauchi that he can do no wrong.

194
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: But really there's a lot of evidence that he has

195
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: a great deal of conflict of interest and that if

196
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: it turns out this virus came from the Wuhan lab,

197
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: which it looks like it did, that there's a great

198
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: deal of culpability, and that he was a big supporter

199
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: of the funding. But he also was a big supporters

200
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: to this day of saying we can trust the Chinese

201
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: on this, we can trust the Chinese scientists, And I

202
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: think that's quite naive and really should preclude him from

203
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: the position that he's in. Senator rand Paul has been

204
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: correct time and again, and doctor Fauchi has been wrong

205
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: over and over again. That's the conclusion we should all

206
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: draw from what has happened over the course of this pandemic.

207
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: That's what the facts actually show us concern about gain

208
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: of function research funding. Now, I understand there will be

209
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: people who say, well, it was an accident. Even if

210
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: US taxpayer dollars were used at the Wuhan Institute of

211
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Virology and specifically allowed for and it was only a

212
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars, but allowed for some greater degree

213
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: of gain of function research, They'll say, well, it was

214
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: an accident, And I'd point out, okay, would we have

215
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: listened to the global health bureaucracy about this? Would anybody

216
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: have wanted to hear a damn thing that the little

217
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: lab coat tyrant Fouci had to say, the stalinist smurf

218
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: of the NIH. Would anybody have wanted to listen to

219
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: a thing he had to say about this if we

220
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: had known that we were only dearly with the virus

221
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: in the first place because of global health community bureaucrat

222
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: collaboration funded in part by US taxpayer dollars. Think about this.

223
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: If Fauci appeared on TV every night where your mask,

224
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: I saw your groceries, you know we're gonna we're gonna

225
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: hit a surge and then a plateau, and then a

226
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: surge and then maybe another plateau. Would would you have

227
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: listened to this guy? Would you have wanted to hear

228
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: what he had to say at all? If you had

229
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: known that he and his bureaucracy were involved in funding

230
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: the kind of research that led to this outbreak in

231
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: the first place. I think the answers no, I think

232
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: we all would have been saying, what the heck is

233
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: going on here? And now you're gonna put yourself in

234
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: this high and mighty position of telling us, all all

235
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: of us in America, how to live our lives down

236
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: to my new details. Well, can you hug your relatives,

237
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: can you go out into a public playground. That's the

238
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that the faucciites were making determinations about

239
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: and yet the very beginnings of this virus, not only

240
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: were they trying to hide it from us, but they

241
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: also may have been covering up some degree of complicity

242
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: in the outbreak in the first place. That is stunning,

243
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, it's stunning to normal people, to people

244
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: that think that wearing three masks while they go jogging alone,

245
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: even after being vaccinated, is a mark of intelligence instead

246
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: of the exact opposite of that. Faucci is someone that

247
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: they will They'll never give up that he was great.

248
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: They'll never admit that this guy was a fraud, because

249
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: what would that say about their judgment? I mean, what

250
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: would it say about Nicole Wallace's intelligence Over at MSNBC, Well,

251
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: does anybody really have any questions about that? Here's what

252
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: she says about doctor Fauci's emails. Here's her take on it,

253
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: play ten. And that's what I was trying to do,

254
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: is to always tell the truth on the basis of

255
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: what the data is. And it was never deliberately something

256
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: against the president. In fact, he spoke about my emails.

257
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: You look at my emails. I never in the email

258
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: said anything derogatory about President Trump. Well, the true margat

259
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: someone is if they look good even when their personal

260
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: emails come out. So you fast sus test that very

261
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: few of us with food fast. Oh my gosh, doctor Facci,

262
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: you're just so amazing. Oh my gosh, it's so amazing.

263
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: You just like like our superhero fighting the virus. It's

264
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: like so good, unbelievable. Oh did did Fauci really? Did he?

265
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: Did he really tell the truth? In the beginning? What

266
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: is it about this guy that makes libs all sit

267
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: around and and just gleam with pride, with They really

268
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: look at this guy as though he's like the dad

269
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: they never had, or maybe the grandpa they never had.

270
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: And I just don't get it. I can't imagine going

271
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: through life thinking that this this guy who's been working

272
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: for a health bureauxy for so many decades. Have any

273
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: of these people ever showed up at a public hospital?

274
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: Have they ever dealt with, you know, the bureaucrats who

275
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: are making decisions in these places? You really, you really

276
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: think they're they're heroes and they always have your best

277
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: interests at heart. Album man, I a lot a lot

278
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: of cost cutting measures, a lot of you know, go

279
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: wait in the emergency room for eight hours while you're bleeding.

280
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, sorry, too bad. But they believe that doctor

281
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Fauci was unnecessary a savior. Actually, in all of this

282
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: he has been elevated to religious icon status, and he

283
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: is a tiny golden calf. Oh and the little golden

284
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: calf when he would bleat, often said the wrong thing.

285
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: But there were things he wouldn't say either, which I

286
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: think is so interesting. You will recall that he is

287
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: now claiming that he had no problem with Trump. He

288
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: was never an issue for the White House. It was

289
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: never political for him. The former White House Chief of

290
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: Staff under President Trump, Mark Meadows, brought this up recently.

291
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: This was somebody who was working with and dealing with

292
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Fauci every day. Here he is play nine. Well, I

293
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: can tell you that what needs to happen is Ranking

294
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: Member Jordan and his cynic counterparts need to have another

295
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: hearing where they actually bring back in doctor Fauci to

296
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: look at some of these key questions. Part of the

297
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: troubling thing that we're seeing with these emails that are

298
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: coming out is not only do they seem to correspond

299
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: with what President Trump said and what Secretary Pompeo said

300
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: in terms of the origins of the virus. But it

301
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: indicates that Fauci had knowledge, or at least a suspicion

302
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: of things not happening in an evolutionary manner very early on,

303
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: and he didn't share that with the task force. That's

304
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: very troubling and something that we do need to get

305
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: to the bottom up. Why wouldn't he share that suspicion

306
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: with the task force? Gee, I wonder why if you

307
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: listen to this show, you're somebody who likes real questions

308
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: asked and you want real answers. That has been the

309
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: opposite of what we've gotten from ninety five percent of

310
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: the corporate media in this country, of all media in

311
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: this country, they have just been little parrots, squawk squawk,

312
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: parrots of the consensus. Ah, Foucci want a cracker, That's right,

313
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: Foucci does want a cracker. Well, you know what I mean. Fouci,

314
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: he's just always looking for a pad on the head,

315
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: always looking for some one to tell him how great

316
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: he is. Vanity friends from the lab Code Tyrant was

317
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: a major component of the information operation that the American

318
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: people were subjected to for the last fifteen sixteen months.

319
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: That is what has really gone on here now that

320
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: we've hit the unofficial kick off to summer. The months

321
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: ahead are always a great reminder of how lucky we

322
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: are to be Americans. From time with friends and family,

323
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: backyard barbecues, road trips, ball games, hitting the beach or

324
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: the lake, you name it. It's also a great time

325
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: to show how proud we are to be Americans. And

326
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: part of the way we do that is by flying

327
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 1: the American flag in front of our homes. And not

328
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: just any American flag. I recommend one that you can

329
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: rest assured won't tangle around a pole or get mildewed,

330
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: torn or shredded quickly. That's why you have to check

331
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,080

00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: the possible cover up of the origins of COVID nineteen

351
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: and where we stand with the lab leak thesis. No

352
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: longer right to call this a conspiracy theory. It was

353
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: never right to call it a conspiracy theory. Our friend

354
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Shacktell, who's an investigative journalist, is with us right now.

355
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: He has been a critic of fauci, of lockdowns of

356
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: masks all along, so we greatly appreciate him for that. Jordan.

357
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: People should support your work on this. Where do they go?

358
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: You can find me at dosia dot substack dot com.

359
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: Now tell us, tell us what is most striking to

360
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: you about where we stand right now, with the release

361
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: of these emails, what is important for everybody to take

362
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: away from this. There's a lot of emails out there

363
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: from doctor Fauci. Yeah, because the lab leak stuff and

364
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: the gain of function stuff has been in the news

365
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: so much. It was interesting to see the sense of

366
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: urgency coming from the upper echelons of the US government

367
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: health bureaucracy, with the National Institutes of Health and then

368
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: Fauci's and i AI. Whenever this issue came up. It

369
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: seems like they wanted to have an immediate phone call um,

370
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: whether it was with the supposed journalists in the corporate press,

371
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: or you had Fauci's top colleagues and executives, and what

372
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: seems like they weren't dismissing that the Lableak thesis whatsoever.

373
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: They were just trying to seemingly coordinate their messaging over

374
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: the Lablak thesis. And then you know, around the same

375
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: time frame. What was interesting is that Fauci had publications

376
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: out and as colleagues had public public publications um completely

377
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: dismissing lab leak as if this was not even a possibility.

378
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: But the emails said a very different thing. So what

379
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: do you what does the evidence tell us right now

380
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: about what's what's most likely to have occurred here, and

381
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: also the degree of culpability of the of the Wuhan

382
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: Institute of Virology. When where does the data to borrow from?

383
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: Fauci point us right now, it seems it's not only

384
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology and you know, the Chinese

385
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: Communist Party, but there's also a significant piece that's missing

386
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: with concerning the US government's health institutions, collaboration and funding

387
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: of these agencies. And you know, whether or not it

388
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: happens with the endorsement of a particular presidential administration remains

389
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: pretty much unknown. You know, this gain of function stuff

390
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: is so weird because they put a pause to it

391
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: and then they resumed it, and then they were talking about,

392
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, these these bat viruses, and it's just very

393
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: strange that the timeline that you see here, and it

394
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: just leads to a lot more questions about what exactly

395
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: was going on there on the US side of things,

396
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: because I think we're never going to get the answers

397
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: from the Chinese Communists. You know, they're never gonna tell

398
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: us directly the truth of the matter. But we do

399
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 1: have other processes in the United States which we can

400
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: at least hold these bureaucrats to account. How do you

401
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: think we can get accountability here, Jordan? I mean, you know,

402
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Fauci is running around saying, let's not point fingers at China,

403
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: and now people are saying, well, it's not just China

404
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: we're concerned about here, but either's some that are saying

405
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: that he has misled to the point of perhaps even

406
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: perjuring himself when he's talked before Congress. What do you

407
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: think the accountability mechanisms can do here? And how do

408
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: we go forward given what we found out? That's the

409
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: interesting thing, And I think all the signs are pointing

410
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: to in early not an early retirement for Fauci, because

411
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: he's been a government bureaucrat for an amazing fifty six years.

412
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: But there has to be some kind of accountability mechanisms.

413
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: You can hope that, you know, at least GOP legislators

414
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: can really push this issue hard and hopefully find at

415
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: least some purple state dams to agree to attempt to

416
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: hold these people accountable. Start holding hearings, start asking these

417
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: people under oath, you know what they met when they

418
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: were talking about these emails, and of course these emails

419
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: were under freedom of information acts. So hopefully, you know,

420
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: these these people that represent US in Congress can get

421
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: additional emails about this issue and continue to you know,

422
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: do what they can to get more information to the public.

423
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: But the last thing I want right now, actually, even

424
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: though I've been you know, trying to get Faucci sidelined

425
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: and to retire for for eighteen months because of his

426
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: gross incompetence, I think Faucci especially needs to be held accountable.

427
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: What do you think are the one of the greatest

428
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: sins that Faucci has created here? There's so many things,

429
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: um it seems the common theme in the in the

430
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: emails was that Faucci was trying to protect the bureaucracy

431
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: from any critiques or even just he wanted to project

432
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: this sense onto the nation that he was kind of

433
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: like this all knowing scientists, you know, this the foremost

434
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: infectious disease expert that we kept hearing the corporate press

435
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: echoing and over again to try to sell that, you know,

436
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the US response to COVID nineteen was based on science,

437
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: whether it was social distancing masks, all these closures, and

438
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: the reality was that there was never any evidence for

439
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: any of this stuff. But Fauci was more um, you know,

440
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: as a as a really as a politician. He understood

441
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: the power of crafting a narrative that works, and he

442
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: used the media to his benefit to craft these narratives.

443
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: But largely every single thing, um, it seemed, every single

444
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: thing was a lie and it was based it was

445
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: based on nothing, you know, this six foot social distancing,

446
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of us, you know, you included especially,

447
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: have been saying this for a while, like, where is

448
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: the evidence. I'm not relying on Fauci's credentials, where's the evidence?

449
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: And you know, the emails kind of go to show

450
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: that they didn't. Really they were really too concerned with evidence.

451
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: They were just more concerned with being in a position

452
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: of authority. It seems to me, Jordan them that that

453
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of this was pushed by we we have

454
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: these you know, large, expensive, cumbersome health bureaucracies here in

455
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: America and a lot of places around the world, and

456
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: here we are. This was their moment, so to speak, right,

457
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: this is what we have them for. And really, at

458
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of this pandemic, if they had told us

459
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: the truth, it was going to be we don't really

460
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: know how to stop this from spreading. A lot of

461
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: you are going to get it, and it's going to

462
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: take us at least a year to get a vaccine

463
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: out there and start getting the people's arms. So do

464
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: your best. I mean that was actually where they were.

465
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: But they came up with this whole framework of mask

466
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: six foot six feet of distancing lights, all your groceries,

467
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, all these things we were being told. It's

468
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: it feels like they just came up with a plan

469
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: so they could have a plan. Yeah, it seemed like

470
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: they came up with a plan so they could be

471
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: seen and perceived as doing something you know, morally and

472
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: scientifically appropriate. And for actually it paid off. Like Faucci

473
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: won a one million dollar prize, he got a book deal,

474
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: he had a Disney crew following him around shooting a documentary.

475
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't even know if the White House knew about that,

476
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: which is kind of fascinating. But Faucci he won the

477
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: battle for you know, public of public perception. The problem

478
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: was just that the science wasn't on his side, and

479
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: he ended up screwing over you know, the entire country.

480
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: And I think his decisions impacted not only the United

481
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: States but the entire world who looked to him for guidance,

482
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: and he was really basically, you know, the equivalent of

483
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: a quack quack doctor. At the entire time. We're speaking

484
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: to Jordan Shacktel, investigative journalist who's been covering COVID from

485
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I would say a contrarian perspective

486
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: is fair, and I've been doing the same thing Jordan,

487
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: because to go against the consensus in any way, you're

488
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: considered some kind of you know, radical contrarian on all

489
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: this stuff. So I have to wonder what is the

490
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: role of Peter Dajak. I'm not sure I'm saying his

491
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: name right, But this guy, Peter Dajac and all this

492
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: who was the one who directed some of the funding

493
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: to the Wouhan Institute of Virology. What do we know

494
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: about this guy? Yeah, so it seems like he was

495
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: running some kind of like middleman operation between the US government.

496
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: He actually I've never interacted with this guy in social

497
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: media and he's blocked me, and like every single platform

498
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: says like, oh, that's kind of weird. But he seemed

499
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: to be the intermediary between the Chinese communists and the

500
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: US health bureaucracy, especially when it came to like funding

501
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: this kind of this sketchy research, they preferred not to

502
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: do it directly. So he was like this like black

503
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: market type situation, NGO, very sketchy. There's so much sketchy

504
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: stuff going on in that in that world. Even though

505
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, these government health institutions have a history of

506
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: dangerous and reckless behavior, they seem to, you know, try

507
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: to find cutouts to avoid congressional scrutiny. And he seemed

508
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: to be an integral player in that mess. Of all

509
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: the decisions Jordan that have come down from the health

510
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: bureaucrats during this in retrospect, I mean, which is the

511
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: one that you find the most egregious, Whether it's the

512
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: suppression of the lab leak theory, the enormous about face

513
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: on masks, the lockdown mantra, all this stuff, which is

514
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: the one that, for you is just the most inexplicable

515
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: and destructive. Yeah, it just had to be the lockdowns

516
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: and the messaging about the lockdowns and the confidence they

517
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: expressed when they were really just weighing it the entire time.

518
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: And that's you know, the most discippointing thing is how

519
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: much damage they did to our global society because they

520
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: expressed false confidence and really had no idea what was

521
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, we've been talking about this for

522
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: so long that the lockdowns had never been tried before

523
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: on this scale in human history, and it was all

524
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: based on a you know, Chinese communist model out of Wuhan, China,

525
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: and it was so destructive and countries are still attempting

526
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: lockdowns to this day. Australia just went into another lockdown.

527
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: It's just the lockdowns I think have been by far

528
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: the most damaging because it shuts down the economy, it creates,

529
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, a paranoid society, and it's going to take

530
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: so many years to recover from that that. Yeah, it's

531
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: got to be the lockdowns. Do you think we're ever

532
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: going to really find out what happened with this virus

533
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: in the early days? I mean, do you think where

534
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: we're going to find out where it really came from

535
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: and what the Chinese Communist Party did to make sure

536
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: that the world didn't know where it started. I hope so.

537
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: And the role of social media in censoring these voices

538
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: who were trying to talk about this. You know, there

539
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: was a lot of legitimate expert virologists and you know,

540
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: other scientists in biological fields who are trying to identify,

541
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, if any of this stuff was genetically engineered

542
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And I think it's time to you know,

543
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: get these people back into the spot. Like Unfortunately, you know,

544
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: these these Facebook, Twitter, Instagram folks basically like censored these

545
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: people out of the conversation and marginalize them completely. So

546
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: we need to, you know, elevate the voices of actual

547
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: experts who can get to the bottom of this stuff.

548
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Shack tell everybody he's been on this for the

549
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: whole time, from begin one of the few voices willing

550
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: to be brave on this, because if you wanted to

551
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: be correct, you had to be willing to go against

552
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the Fauci consensus. Go to substack dot dot sia dot

553
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: com for Jordan's latest Jordan, thanks so much, man, appreciate it.

554
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Thanks book. There was an email on April sixteenth, an

555
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: email exchange between you and NIH director Francis Collins. The

556
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: email sent to you said, conspiracy theory gains MOMENTU and

557
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: this again was the idea of the lab league. Those emails, though,

558
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: as you can see on the screen, or I can

559
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: see on the screen, was all redacted between you and

560
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Francis Collins. Do you have to remember? Do you remember, John?

561
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: They only took about ten thousand emails from me. Of

562
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: course I remember, I remember all ten thousand of them.

563
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: Give me a break to be clear. You're saying you

564
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: don't remember, you can't tell us. But what was in

565
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: the body of that. I don't remember what's in that redacted?

566
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: But there I mean, the idea I think is quite

567
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: far fetched that the Chinese deliberately engineered something so that

568
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: they could kill themselves as well as other people. I

569
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: think that's a bit far out, John, That's not what

570
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: most of the people who are pushing the lab leak

571
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: theory believe happened. But see, this is a version of

572
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: what we've seen before from Fauci. Avoid the avoid the

573
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: main argument by by attacking these diversionary arguments. It's not

574
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: that the Chinese intentionally released this virus in their own

575
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: population first and then hope that because China has a

576
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: billion people, they were going to come out ahead of

577
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the world, right, I mean, that's actually

578
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: not the argument. Now, some people may be arguing that,

579
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: but what many of us are saying is China was

580
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: involved in doing this kind of research. It was a

581
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: place that the facilities, as we know, had already had

582
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: leaks in the past four leaks. I believe that after

583
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: the Stars scare, where you had about seven hundred plus

584
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: people die globally, but that was if you got stars,

585
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: you were in very very dire situation and the much

586
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: much higher mortality than what you had from COVID nineteen.

587
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: But the Stars situation created this sense of urgency for

588
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: the need to study these kinds of viruses. And so

589
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: what we're saying is that they were studying it and

590
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: then it got out and there was gain of function

591
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: research going on. So they weren't just they didn't just

592
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: collect viruses and look at them and try to understand them.

593
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: They collected viruses and were toying with them, changing them,

594
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: and then one of those viruses that does occur naturally

595
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: in nature got out of the lab and then spread

596
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: all over the world and killed millions of people. That's

597
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 1: the basis of the theory. But see what Fauci wants

598
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: to do is tell everybody, oh, they're they're just these

599
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: crazy people out there who were talking nonsense. There's just

600
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: all this absurd stuff. Why should anything really in these

601
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: emails be redacted? Think about that for a moment. This

602
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: isn't this isn't the CIA. They're not worried about sources

603
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: and methods. Why are there redactions in these emails from

604
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: the the nih you know, head of NAIAD, the National

605
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: Institive Allergy Infectious Disease, which is under the umbrella of

606
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: the National Institute of Health. M Well, Fauci's just full

607
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: of it. He's skating all over the place here, trying to,

608
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: as you know, I always say, evade accountability. Here he

609
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: is on something near and dear to my heart. It's

610
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: all talk about masks in these emails, and how Matt

611
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: basically mocking the notion that masks are going to save

612
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: you from COVID. I mean it's really not. It's just

613
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: which we all know, right, masks and they don't really

614
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: do anything. Can we finally? I love that we can

615
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: finally say that without everyone freaking out. I mean we

616
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: said they don't do anything. You know, you may you

617
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: may prevent yourself from you know, getting wet if you

618
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: go out in the rain by holding a coke can

619
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: over your head. But is that an effective means of

620
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: stopping you from getting wet in a rainstorm? But right,

621
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point it's just it's just dumb.

622
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't work well enough for anyone to care. I

623
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: think that's where we are with cloth masks against this

624
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: aerosolized virus. But here's vouch you on that point, specifically

625
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: Play twelve. Well, you know, John, let's get real here.

626
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: If you look at scientific information as it accumulates what

627
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: is going on in January and February, what you know

628
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: as a fact, as data guides what you tell people

629
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: and your policies. If March April may occur, you accumulate

630
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: a lot more information, and you modify and adjust your

631
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: opinion and your recommendation based on the current science and

632
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: current data. So, of course, if we knew back then

633
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: that a substantial amount of transmission was asymptomatic people, if

634
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: we knew then that the data show that masks outside

635
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: of a hospital setting are actually do work when we

636
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: didn't know it. Then if we realize all of those

637
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: things back then, of course, asking a question, would you

638
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: have done something different if you know what you know now?

639
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: Of course, people would have done that. That's so obvious.

640
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: Where's that data? Fouch on the masks working outside of

641
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: a hospital setting? Where where's that data? Oh? You mean

642
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: the lab studies with spray bottles? Yeah, laughable garbage. Criticizing

643
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: such things as the sixteen nineteen project, you know, which

644
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: tends to put that in date as something uniquely American.

645
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: There was a lot of slavery going on around the

646
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: world in the early sixteen hundreds. We fought the Civil

647
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: War in order to put our original sin behind us.

648
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: We passed the Voting Rights Act in nineteen sixty five

649
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: in order to further enfranchise minorities in our country. It's

650
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: been a long arc of trying to improve race relations

651
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: in this country. But I think trying to come completely

652
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: denigrade and downgrade American historical moments like seventeen seventy six,

653
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: seventeen eighty seven, nineteen sixty five critical moments is a mistake.

654
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: But I don't think the government's any better at prescribing

655
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: what ought to be taught than the universities themselves. But

656
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: they ought to be open to criticism about what they're doing.

657
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: So what exactly is Mitch McConnell saying about the solution.

658
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: Here he identifies when it comes to critical race theory,

659
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: much of the problem correctly. He understands that CRT seeks

660
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: to minimize, you know, the same way they accuse people

661
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: of minimizing the role of slavery in America from its origins,

662
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: and the sixteen nineteen Project does exactly that. We can say, well,

663
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: the other side minimizes that we had a civil war

664
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: in this country, a brutal, bloody civil war or that

665
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, wounded many times more

666
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: than that, grievously wounded, people lost eyes, legs, arms, and

667
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: we fought a war to end slavery in this country.

668
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: And then after that went through a century or so

669
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: of continued effort to make real the promise of equality

670
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: fought for by the Union in the Civil War. And

671
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: we're just told that by cr team at the sixty

672
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: nineteen project not enough, not enough, not even close, not acceptable.

673
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: America's a racist, bad place. Really. Mitch McConnell pointed out

674
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: that there was a lot of slavery going on in

675
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: the world of the sixteen hundreds. That's true. In fact,

676
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: one of the places with the longest reach when it

677
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: came to the slave trade were the Barbary states of

678
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: North Africa. This is something that is often not taught

679
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: at all in schools. In fact, talk about something that's

680
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: that is edited out of basic history for people. We

681
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: fought our first foreign war against the Barbary pirates right

682
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: to the shores of Tripoli because President Jefferson had had

683
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: enough of our people, Americans being enslaved by Muslim Arabs

684
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: in North Africa, taken off of ships, the men worked

685
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: to death and the women used in sexual slavery for

686
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: harems of wealthy Muslim Arabs in places like Tripoli and

687
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: what is presently today Algeria and Tunisia and Morocco. Right

688
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: that was going on for hundreds of years. Straight up slavery,

689
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: the Muslim slave trade of European Christians and American Christians

690
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: was what was happening. And they went as far as

691
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: These slaving raids or slave raids went as far as Iceland, Ireland,

692
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: all up and down the coasts of Italy and Spain.

693
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: They would seize white Christians and put them into into slavery,

694
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: and in fact, they often were worked in mines in

695
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: North Africa until they died. And they died rapidly because

696
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: of the absolutely horrific conditions, and the women were taken

697
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 1: in prize for sexual slavery in the Harems. That's what

698
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: was going on for hundreds of years. Friends. You don't

699
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: often hear about this, do you. This is not something

700
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: that's really taught very much, but it's true. All throughout

701
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: the sixteen hundreds, all throughout the seventeen hundreds, this was reality.

702
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: And the Ottoman Empire, which is often talked about by

703
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: leftist historians as this, you know, great and sophisticated and powerful.

704
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: It was powerful, and it did end up accumulating a

705
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: lot of other cultures knowledge and advancements. You'd call it

706
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation if you want, including the Byzantine Empire, the

707
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: Eastern Orthodox Christian Empire that came before it. But the

708
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire was built as a slave empire. Does anybody

709
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: want to try to go back in history and look

710
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: at this and come to a different conclusion, I welcome

711
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: them to try. Massive slave trade from the Muslim Ottomans.

712
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: The slave trade existed in Sub Saharan Africa at the

713
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: time of the Transatlantic slave trade, and in fact, as

714
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: we know, the white slave traders who would show up

715
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: along the West African coast of what is today the

716
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: coast of Well coast of West African, including places like

717
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: night Jeria and and some of the smaller African states

718
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: alongside it. They would use the existing slave network inside

719
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: of Africa, where tribes would enslave other tribes and then

720
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: they would be sold to the white Transatlantic slave traders

721
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: in what is unquestionably a horrific, inhumane, deeply immoral practice.

722
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Many well, I can't even tell you the numbers, there'd

723
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: be estimates, but large percentage of those those enslaved Africans

724
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: died in that in transit, held in just the most

725
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: disgraceful conditions imaginable. So this is just to say that

726
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: these are horrific things. They should not have been done,

727
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: but human beings have been terrible to each other for

728
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: a long time. This is not new and this is

729
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: not unique to America. So if we're really going to

730
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: talk about this, if we're going to discuss the history

731
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 1: of slavery and depression, let's really discuss it through history

732
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: and all over the world, the Aztec Empire, you'll often

733
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: hear about how the conquest of the America's involved the

734
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: terrible treatment of the indigenous population here, right, and now

735
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: you have this new new term that is meant to

736
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: bring greater attention to indigenous populations bipoc, right, black indigenous

737
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: people and people of color. Well, the indigenous population in

738
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: the Americas was when you're talking about the Aztec Empire,

739
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: for example, they were not only engaged in massive slavery,

740
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: enslaving tribes and treating people like property, but also massive

741
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: human sacrifice. So we're going to talk about morality. You

742
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: start to look at what's going on here in places.

743
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: And remember we're talking about fifteen hundreds, were talking about

744
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: sixteen hundreds. We're talking about periods of time here that

745
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: are roughly equivalent. You could go back into slavery in

746
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: the Bible and the Jews in Egypt, and right, there's

747
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 1: a reason why throughout history when you look for slavery

748
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: you find the Roman Empire built on slavery. This, you know,

749
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: human oppression of other humans has been a constant in

750
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: this country. We actually had, thanks to the Constitution or

751
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: the Declaration of independence, thanks to the basic framework of

752
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: our government, we had the beginnings of the end of

753
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: human bondage and slavery put in place here. It wasn't

754
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: as fast as we wanted it to be. It wasn't

755
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: as fast as it should have been, right, And that's

756
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: it's understandable that we can go back and say that

757
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: we wish this had moved along much more quickly than

758
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: it did. But to ignore that process and to pretend

759
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: that there haven't been tremendous sacrifices made by many people

760
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: outside of the minority community. Isn't it fascinating how you

761
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: never get to say in this country, you're told, under

762
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: critical race theory and the sixteen nineteen Project view of America,

763
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: you're told that there's a degree of guilt that you

764
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: have just by nature of being white. If you're white,

765
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: you're part of the oppressive class in America. This is

766
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: central to critical race theory. This is central to the

767
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: teachings of the deconstructionists like Derita, these far left intellectuals.

768
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, really, if you go back and see you

769
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: can trace critical race theory to those who believe in

770
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: who are putting forward moral relativism and the fashionable Marxist

771
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: philosophies of European professors and European intellectuals from the nineteen

772
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: sixties and the nineteen seventies. That's where we get all

773
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: this critical race theory teaching. It's really the beginnings of

774
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: the origins of it, and then critical race theory just

775
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: tries to codify it into law. Critical race theory takes

776
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: it a step further and says, well, we're going to

777
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: explicitly pursue political power as a component of this, and

778
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: that that's where we currently are. But you'll notice that

779
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: it's it's never something you can say, well, you know

780
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: my ancestors, my ancestors fought in the Union. You know

781
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: I lost, and some of my some of my ancestors

782
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: died fighting to end slavery. So do I get if

783
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: I get the downside of being white in America today

784
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: under the description of race relations forwarded by critical race theory,

785
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 1: Do I get to make a case that, well, my ancestors, actually,

786
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: some of them gave their lives fighting against the practice

787
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: of slavery? Does that know? No, of course, And then

788
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: you get into why am I even being held to

789
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: any standard based upon my ancestors. You should not hold

790
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: the son guilty for the sins of the father. You

791
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: certainly shouldn't hold somebody guilty for the sins of their

792
00:50:54,320 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: great great great grandfathers and yet to crt grapple with

793
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: any of this. No, it is racial Marxism. It is

794
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: meant to tear this country apart and elevate the few

795
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: at the expense of the many, elevate those who run

796
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: the apparatus under the pretense that they're helping those who

797
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: are oppressed, but really they just want to be the

798
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: ones doing the oppressing. Right Otherwise, explain to me what

799
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and all these prominent Democrats,

800
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: what do they think they're really accomplishing with this the end,

801
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: it's just about power. It's certainly not about an accurate

802
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: reading of history. That's fine, I'm all for an accurate

803
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: reading of history. I'm not for the politicized, an exaggerated

804
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: version of specific points in history meant to justify abuse

805
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: of constitutional rights and equality under the law. Today, our

806
00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: view is that it's going to take time workers to

807
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: regain confidence in the safety of the workplace, re established childcare,

808
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: school and commuting arrangements, and finish getting vaccinated and even

809
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: when individuals get their first dose. We've seen a huge

810
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: increase in that. As I started the briefing talking about

811
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: it's about a five to six week cycle, so we

812
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: have expected that to have an impact. At the same time,

813
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: as we look at all of the data, we know

814
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: that our economy is growing faster than any time and

815
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: then any time in the last forty years. We're creating

816
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: an average of five hundred thousand jobs a month, up

817
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: from sixty thousand a month before the President took office,

818
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: and we're continuing to put in place policies and measures.

819
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: Every decision that this White House has made, I would argue,

820
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: has made the job situation worse. Every decision that the

821
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: White House has put into places. There's a lot that

822
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: you can point to and say, well, the economy, you know,

823
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: is going to run at a certain paces. You know,

824
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: there's only so much damage in a certain period of

825
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: time that the Biden presidency can do to the economy.

826
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: And given that they've come into a period here in

827
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: America's history where we just went through a virus and

828
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: lockdown created recession instead of one that's actually a cyclical

829
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: economic recession, sure there's going to be a lot of

830
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: wind at the back of the economy right now, but

831
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: it's like we've got people on a sail. It's like

832
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: we have an amazing sailboat, and the sail is finally

833
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: down and sure, it's it's going in the right direction.

834
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: It's it's getting you know, it's it's picking up speed.

835
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: But the people that are actually on deck, the Biden

836
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: administration officials that are making decisions here, they're doing everything

837
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: to slow down and mess up that process. They want

838
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: to spend more money than they should, they want to

839
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: raise taxes, they want to regulate things. They want to

840
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: focus on punishing businesses and punishing prosperity, and it's just

841
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: it's maddening to watch. But on the worker shortage, they

842
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: don't seem to understand the role that a big part

843
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: of the Biden rescue Package was right, was that they

844
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: were supposed to be all of this. The Biden rescue

845
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: Package sent all these checks to people and in some cases,

846
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: you're going to be making more money to stay home.

847
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: That has had an effect. That's why a number of

848
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: states have said they're not going to do that anymore.

849
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: They're they're not going to be distributing those extra unemployment funds.

850
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: They've said enough is enough. And this idea that workers

851
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: aren't confident in the safety of the workplace, Yeah, there

852
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 1: are a lot of people out there that are still

853
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: paranoid about COVID. I get it. But if you've been

854
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: vaccinated and you won't go into your you won't go

855
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: into your office and you're supposed to, You've got to wonder, okay, well,

856
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: at what point do you think it is is going

857
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: to be safe? When does the mentality changer? Oh? One

858
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: thing I thought so interesting on vaccinations. I meant to

859
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: get to this. You know, I've been telling you along

860
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 1: that A big problem here for me with the way

861
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: that the public health bureaucrats have approached all of this

862
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: has been to suggest that they have data and facts

863
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: on their side for all these decisions. And there's nothing arbitrary.

864
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: There's no policy judgment involved here. It's just this is

865
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: what it is. We're telling you what the decision is.

866
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: It's like parents speaking to children. Because I said so,

867
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the actual ahead of the CDC. Rochelle

868
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: Wallenski being asked about the vaccination goal for the Biden

869
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 1: administration of seventy percent. Why is that the goal? Play six?

870
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: We keep hearing that we need to reach seventy percent.

871
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Why is the seventy percent number so effective? Important? Rather? Important?

872
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: You know, we want to get the majority of America vaccinated,

873
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: and after we get to seventy percent, my goal is

874
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: going to be to get to eighty percent. I think

875
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: what we really understand is that this virus is an

876
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: opportunist and it will go to places where people are

877
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: not vaccinated. And so you are safe if you are vaccinated.

878
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: You are not safe if you are not vaccinated. And

879
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: my job is to keep America safe. So we will

880
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: work to get to seventy percent on June fourth, and

881
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: then we will continue to work to get beyond that.

882
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: So why is it seventy or that's just the they

883
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: just came up with that number. Now I'm not saying

884
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: that's not a worthy goal or that's not you know,

885
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: a milestone of progress. I am saying that they often

886
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 1: just sort of pick something or they say this is

887
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: this is what the goal is. This is when it's safe.

888
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 1: Safe when you're talking about a virus like this has

889
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: always been a relative term. It's always been a relative term.

890
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no such thing as perfect safety.

891
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: And in fact, a lot I think a big part

892
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: of the wrongness, if you will all along here from

893
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: the public Health bureaucrats has been to create this belief

894
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: that if you listen to them, you're going to be really,

895
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: really safe, and if you don't, you're reckless, when that's

896
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: just not true. I did all the stuff that they

897
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: made me do. I didn't want to do it, but

898
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: all the mask and all this stuff, and it took

899
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: me a year to get COVID. And I sit here

900
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: and say, so, all those times that I was masked

901
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: up and all this stuff that I did it, what

902
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: was the point of it. There was no point I

903
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: got COVID anyway. So why was I being put through

904
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: all that? Oh, and the hopes that maybe I wouldn't

905
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: get it? Well, given the kind of things that I

906
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: was doing in the life that I was leading, going

907
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: into offices, going in stores, and being around people, even

908
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: with all the restrictions, what they were what they were

909
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: promising me, which was that i'd I'd be protected. That's

910
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: the implicit promise. That's just not true. They couldn't protect me,

911
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: They couldn't protect any of us, but they act like

912
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: they could and made decisions based upon that false promise.

913
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, why is it seventy percent? Well, because it'll

914
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: be eighty percent after at seventy percent, just like with

915
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: so many other things, making it up as they go along.

916
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: Does it make sense that the same company who controls

917
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: half of all online retail also passively eavesdrops on your

918
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: private conversations at home? What about the idea that a

919
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: single company controls ninety percent of Internet searches, runs your

920
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: email service, and gets to track everything you do on

921
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: your smartphone. Big tech is more powerful than most countries are,

922
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: and they profit by exploiting your personal data. It's time

923
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: to put a layer of protection between your online activity

928
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: and data. Mind but when you run Express VPN on

929
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: your device, the software hides your IP address, something big

931

947
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: United States Senate have chosen to view through a political lens,

948
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: a massive security breach on the US Capitol. I did

949
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: some research this morning, and I discovered that the legislation

950
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: to create the nine to eleven Commission in two thousand

951
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: and two passed the US Senate by a vote of

952
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: ninety to eight. That's a lot of Democrats, that's a

953
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of Republicans. Imagine if the nine to eleven legislation

954
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: failed to pass because Republicans didn't want to embarrass President Bush.

955
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: For example, because nine to eleven happened on his watch.

956
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: This needs to be viewed as a security issue. It

957
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: was an attack on the cradle of our democracy during

958
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: a constitutional function, and it demonstrates that there are major

959
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: gaps in the jurisdiction and the command and control relationships

960
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: between the Capitol Police, the National Guard, the Secret Service,

961
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: and a host of other law enforcement organizations. Jay Johnson saying,

962
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: imagine if the nine to eleven legislation failed to pass

963
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and and explicitly comparing nine to eleven to January sixth

964
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: as as attacks on our democracy. Let's get some perspective

965
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: here from our friend Pedro Gonzalez, who is now associate

966
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: editor at Chronicles magazine. Pedro, great to have you, Hey,

967
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: book always going to be here. There's just a part

968
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: of me that wants to throw my hands up in

969
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: the air and shout profanity when they do this, Pedro,

970
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 1: But I know that's not that's not really helpful, right,

971
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: So so take us through, Oh it might feel good,

972
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: take us through your sense of how they expect anybody

973
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: to take them seriously when they're going to compare the

974
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, the the the destruction of multiple buildings, uh skyscrapers,

975
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the deaths of almost three thousand people, an attack on

976
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: us by al Qaeda which intended to eradicate American civilization

977
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: if it could with what happened on January sixth, a

978
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: riot where people were taking selfies inside the Capitol and

979
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: talking to Capitol Hill police and dressed up with you,

980
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: dressed up as qan On Shaman. How does this happen?

981
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: How do we get to the point where the establishment

982
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: and the elites think this is a reasonable comparison. I

983
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: don't know that they actually think that, and I think

984
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: it might actually be irrelevant if they really do. In

985
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: other words, people like AOC might really actually think that

986
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: what she lived through is the equivalent of combat experience,

987
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: And then there are others who are saying that but

988
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: they don't really believe it. But in other case, the

989
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: outcome is the same. You're seeing this kind of failanx

990
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: that is closing in on opposition towards this commission, and

991
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: the reality of this commission, I think is that it's

992
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: going to justify a kind of Patriot Act two point

993
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: z federal agenda in the sense that well, okay, because

994
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I think calling it a commission is kind of funny,

995
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: because they're already there's already a conclusion. I think, like,

996
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: so they're basically building a commission around a conclusion, because

997
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: the purpose of the commission, of course is to investigate it.

998
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: But they I mean like they already know what they

999
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: want to find, right, they just want to I guess,

1000
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: add some window dressing to it. But I think that

1001
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: the real and very clear threat is that this commission

1002
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: will be used to justify the expansion the size and

1003
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: scope of the federal government in what we're going to

1004
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: be told is domestic counterinsurgency, counter extremism. So what does

1005
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: that mean? In practice? It means, well, maybe the FBI

1006
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: needs a bigger purview of what they're allowed to do

1007
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: and how they're allowed to infringe on your privacy. Maybe

1008
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: they need more control of a cryptocurrency because you know,

1009
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: like guys that were involved in the people that were

1010
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: around the events of January sixth, traffic and crypto, so

1011
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a decentralized currency and that's very dangerous.

1012
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: It's associated with white supremacies. So this is something that

1013
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: we need to kill in the cradle, or we need

1014
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: to step up the posts. Post Office their efforts to

1015
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: you thought the postman was reading your mail. He's actually

1016
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,919
Speaker 1: checking your social media. I didn't even know that there's

1017
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: a barely there's a US postal like law enforcement arm

1018
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: and this is what they're actually doing. They're trawling through

1019
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: social media and leaked documents and the intercept show that

1020
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: they take an interest in everything from pro Trump postings

1021
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: to anti lockdown postings on social media. And I think

1022
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: this is the direction that this will go in. We

1023
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: need to step up these efforts to root out extremism,

1024
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 1: which really just means the federal government will have more

1025
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: control of your life and be able to infringe on

1026
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: what little rights you still have left even more on

1027
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: the grounds that this is about fighting extremism and specifically

1028
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and I think that's really the point of

1029
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: Like you ask, how did we get here in a

1030
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of rational way, Well, there's nothing rational about it.

1031
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: They're using the cudgel of white supremacy, the scarecrow of

1032
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: that to beat opposition into silence, and it's working. It's amazing, Pedro,

1033
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: because this is really, in a sense, just creating a

1034
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: new approach to the same weaponization of the apparatus. Right

1035
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: that there's a new lie here, but it reminds me

1036
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: a lot of what we went through with the Russia

1037
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: collusion situation. Right, Russia collusion for four years of the

1038
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: Trump presidency was used in order to justify outright journalism hostility.

1039
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the profession of journalism effectively viewed itself as

1040
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: an opposition to Donald Trump, and they used the Russia,

1041
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the Russia lie of Trump worked with the Russians to

1042
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: steal the election. And by the way, they said the

1043
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: election was stolen, as we all know, that was a

1044
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: that was a prominent theme all along. Hillary Clinton herself said,

1045
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the Russians hacked our democracy. So it's interesting that they

1046
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: seem to be accusing. And now, of course it's oh,

1047
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: the white supremacist insurrection that could come back at any

1048
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: moment in time. There are real problems that this country

1049
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: has and things that need to be dealt with, but

1050
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: they focus in on these largely fanciful There's always a

1051
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: some grain or some basis of truth in this. Just

1052
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: like Soviet propaganda, there was always some flimsy basis for

1053
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: most of it, and that it was wildly exaggerated. This

1054
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: seems to be the playbook now, instead of battling with

1055
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: us on you know, the best way to grow jobs

1056
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: in instead of battling with us on what US foreign

1057
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: policy should really look like going forward. It's the other

1058
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: side is evil and must be stopped at any cost,

1059
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: the other side being conservatives. Any buy that stands. Athward

1060
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: Biden says, what are you doing, you crazy old man? Right, No,

1061
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. And again, the specter of white supremacy

1062
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: is paralyzing for a lot of people. They don't know

1063
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: how to react to it except but to acquiesce, like, okay, well,

1064
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: we can agree to a commission, but promise that you'll

1065
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: limit the scope to actual extremists, Like that's a total

1066
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Like you've already lost if you've already if that's where

1067
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: you're at mentally, when you've already give it up and

1068
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: you're it's not going to end well for you or

1069
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: for the people that you're representing. And I think about

1070
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: how right now, I think we might have spoken about

1071
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: this before, that the Pentagon is actually doing this right now,

1072
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: where under the pretext of combating extremism in their own ranks,

1073
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: this is really funny. They're actually looking to work with

1074
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a private company to circumnavigate First Amendment rights and surveil

1075
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: their troops, and that's where it starts. But then of

1076
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: course it expands and goes on to everyone else. And

1077
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: it's really interesting that you're seeing, like you said, the

1078
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: like even the foreign policy apparatus, like the Pentagon is

1079
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: increasingly turning its eye toward domestic affairs. And the attitude

1080
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: of the bureaucracy in the Pentagon and elsewhere is that

1081
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: they're they're dealing with what is essentially a low intensity

1082
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: insurgency within the United States, which is what we've been

1083
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: dealing with in the Middle East, where you know, we

1084
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: need people patrolling all the time, we have to win

1085
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: hearts and minds. Like that's basically what you're seeing in

1086
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the United States, and like you said, it's it's being

1087
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: framed as a response to this real existential, nation ending

1088
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: threat of white supremacy. There's a really interesting analogy here

1089
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: that I think is it's it's specifically about gun violence.

1090
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: There is a study publishing a Journal of Interpersonal Violence

1091
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: pretty recently, and the authors of this study concluded that

1092
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: mass shootings are actually not like that common, Like you're

1093
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: you're more likely to to like get eaten by a

1094
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: shark then end up into mass shooting something along like

1095
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: something really you know, really rare along those lines. And

1096
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: the authors, so the question that they have to answer,

1097
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: considering that that was their conclusion, well, why does it

1098
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: seem the opposite, like why do people why are so

1099
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: many people terrified of getting caught in a mass shooting?

1100
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: And these authors concluded that they called the social construction

1101
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: of violence that like surprise, They concluded that media basically

1102
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: creates this false representation of an issue, and in this

1103
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: case mass shootings, that that's literally what they attributed it

1104
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: to was because the media has made people believe that

1105
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: mass shootings are a much larger problem than they actually are,

1106
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: and that the social construction of violence in the case

1107
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: of mass shootings, I think it applies to everything else,

1108
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: like white supremacy. Like the reason that people really think

1109
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: that white supremacy is an existential threat is because that

1110
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: is what the media has told them, That's what academia

1111
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: has told. The guy that's in charge of implementing this

1112
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: counter extremism pro grant for the Pentagon, his name is

1113
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: Bishop Garrison. He has explicitly connected his support to the

1114
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,799
Speaker 1: sixty nineteen project to what he's doing with the Pentagon

1115
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: now and and and he has written in his name

1116
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: that white supremacy is a nation ending threat that needs

1117
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: to be dealt with as such. Speaking of Pedro Gonzalez,

1118
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: he is assistant editor at Chronicles magazine. Pedro, just switching

1119
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: gears for a second here. I saw a tweet from

1120
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: you on this, and I wanted to give you an

1121
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to expand on an on air because I agree

1122
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: with your sentiment. And we keep hearing about and in

1123
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the White House has even had to address the labor shortage,

1124
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: and this I always want to say, well, there's there's

1125
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: a labor shortage if you view this as something that

1126
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 1: you know that that cannot be addressed by something called

1127
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: higher wages, which which is usually how you could address

1128
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: a labor shortage. And I worry that Republicans here once again,

1129
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: because they're just so they're so into the corporate donor

1130
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: class pro business narrative of things, don't see this as

1131
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be like, yeah, this is why we

1132
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: need secure borders, because when businesses can't get people to

1133
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: come in paying what they pay, they're gonna have to

1134
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: pay people more to get them to come in. That's

1135
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: actually what we want to happen, we won't wages to rise, right,

1136
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: And I think when you have this discussion, you should

1137
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: start by saying, let's separate how we feel about the

1138
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits in terms of ideology, Like if you're a conservative,

1139
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: like you have these kind of reflexive responses, right, and

1140
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: that's understandable, but let's try to separate how we feel

1141
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: about the unemployment benefits for just for a moment. Basically,

1142
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 1: because the GOP, at the same time that it's telling

1143
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: people that it's a working class party, it opposes these

1144
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits. It also opposes raising the minimum wage. It

1145
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: also opposes private sector unionization. It also doesn't want to

1146
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: stem the tide of legal immigration. The GOOP loves legal immigration. Right.

1147
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Do you see the problem here? We're working class, but

1148
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: we we totally reject every way to help the actual

1149
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: working class. And all the things I just outlined, whether

1150
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: you like I said, whether you agree with them or not,

1151
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: and maybe there are like two that you agree with

1152
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and like three that you doubt, but all of these

1153
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 1: things are proven ways to basically increase people's lot. The

1154
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: GOP opposes all of them, and they're doing that at

1155
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: the same time they're telling you we're working class party.

1156
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: And if you're opposed to the minimum wage and unionization,

1157
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,839
Speaker 1: then what's the alternative, Well, restricting immigration as much as possible,

1158
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: which increases which creates a tight labor market. Right, so

1159
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: that like that that should be a good thing. But

1160
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,680
Speaker 1: of course we were in this weird position where we

1161
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: haven't decreased levels of immigration. Actually at COVID actually kind

1162
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: of did that for us, ironically, And what we have

1163
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 1: what people are calling an artificially type labor market because

1164
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits, the enhanced unemployment benefits are allowing people to subsist.

1165
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: And so people, like I said, because that's in their

1166
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: eyes artificial somehow it's not okay. But I've spoken, And

1167
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: of course there's always going to be moochers like people

1168
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: that will just not work and they'll scrape by on

1169
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: the benefits, which won't help them very much for long

1170
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: because inflation and all that. But I've also spoken to

1171
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: people who worked in Amazon warehouses and they were able

1172
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: to get by on unemployment, put themselves through vocational like

1173
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,719
Speaker 1: get a vocational training for a for a much better career,

1174
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: and like I interviewed a couple of I'm going to

1175
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: write about this. But that's that's what they did with

1176
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: their benefits. They got training, they got new skills, h

1177
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: and they're going to move on to a much much

1178
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: better job that allows them to actually have a life

1179
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: and not work three dead end jobs at one time.

1180
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: And the answer that I got from the one guy

1181
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: was not going back to the Amazon warehouse, Like and

1182
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: if I can basically get by on benefits until I

1183
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: get the skills that I need to get a better job,

1184
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm going to do. And like he's

1185
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,799
Speaker 1: not eating lobster every night, like it's actually pretty difficult

1186
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: to get by and like payrette and stuff. But at

1187
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: the same time that he's doing that, he's in the evenings,

1188
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: he's getting vocational training. It's something to do with engineering,

1189
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 1: and he's like he's going to be set when this

1190
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: is done. And but that was the thing that really

1191
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: stuck with me was he said, I'm not going back

1192
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,600
Speaker 1: to the warehouse. And but of course Republicans are not

1193
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: considering this at all, Like as far as they're concerned,

1194
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 1: people like that, well they're lazy, you like, how dare

1195
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: you not want to go slave away in Jeff Bezos's warehouse?

1196
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: And again, I think that the stark hypocrisy of this

1197
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: is they're saying that at the same time that they're

1198
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,600
Speaker 1: telling people that they're the working class party. Pedro Gonzalez,

1199
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Chronicles Magazine Assistant Editor, Pedro, thank you so much. Thank you. No,

1200
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing because we were talking about how important it

1201
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: was for everyone to get vaccinated, what a big deal

1202
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: it was to get vaccinated, so I thought that was

1203
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: all built in already, But getting that shot really was

1204
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: an amazing feeling. It hits you did cry. I cry it,

1205
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: you know movies. I didn't cry at the at the shot,

1206
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,520
Speaker 1: but you know, it was a moment where where you realize, Okay,

1207
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: this is it. And it wasn't so much because I

1208
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: felt that I'm at a high risk because we're being

1209
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 1: careful and I'm healthy and I'm young and although but

1210
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's knowing that each of us,

1211
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 1: doing our part is getting through this, because we don't

1212
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: get through this unless the vast majority of the population

1213
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: gets that first shot and then a few months later

1214
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: gets that second shot. That's how we get through it.

1215
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,640
Speaker 1: And it's something that everyone can do. And we're just

1216
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:36,839
Speaker 1: seeing Canadians come out in such strong numbers all across

1217
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: the country to say, yeah, I want this COVID thing

1218
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: to end. I want to get back to normal. And

1219
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 1: the way to do that is to make sure everyone,

1220
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: even that crusty old uncle who resists or that friend

1221
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: who skeptical, encourage them, convinced them, tell them that they

1222
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: need to get to get vaccinated, because this is how

1223
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: we get through it. How the heck did this guy

1224
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: become I'm Minister of Canada, Canada? What's going on? I

1225
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: like Canadians, They're great people. It's like America Junior up there?

1226
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: What this guy is really your I know of our

1227
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: president is Biden's. Here are our brothers and sisters up

1228
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: to the up to the north. They probably are saying

1229
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: to themselves, are you're really gonna you're really gonna poke

1230
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: fun at us at least our guys of sound mind,

1231
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: which is I guess technically true. But they never take

1232
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: into account here A huge and this is just what

1233
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: made me think about this right now. A huge part

1234
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: of this is what about those who have recovered. Increasingly,

1235
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: the data seems seems to show that if you've had

1236
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: the virus, you're immune, perhaps forever, certainly for a long time.

1237
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 1: Certainly as long as what they're expecting the vaccines to

1238
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: give you immunity for it. So why don't they ever

1239
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: talk about that? No, you must get the shot. Shut

1240
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: up and listen. M I don't know about that. It's

1241
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: not going to be uniformed throughout the country, John, because

1242
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: if you look at the map the percentage of people

1243
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: in different states that have reached a certain level of

1244
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: vaccinated people certain percentage that if you have a very

1245
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: high percentage of people vaccinated, you're not going to see

1246
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: a substantial blit. You may see a little, but not

1247
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: anything that even resembles a serge. What my concern is

1248
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: is in those states in which you have relatively few

1249
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: compared to others, people have vaccinated. When you're below fifty

1250
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: percent of the people being vaccinated, that's when you're going

1251
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: to have a problem. I think given the country as

1252
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: a whole, the fact that we have now about fifty

1253
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: percent of adults fully vaccinated and about sixty two percent

1254
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 1: of adults having received at least one dose as a nation,

1255
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: I feel fairly certain you're not going to see the

1256
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of surges we've seen in the past. What I

1257
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: am concerned about those states in which the level of

1258
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: vaccination is low, that you may continue to see higher

1259
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 1: levels of cases as we get into the summit. You could,

1260
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: you know here and there and the percentages, and I'm

1261
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: worried about the plateau, and you don't have enough masks on,

1262
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: so the droplets may come out of your mask. And

1263
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: you know, what will it take for us to be

1264
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: free of this faucci? I think we're only free of

1265
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: him when we decide that we can't take it anymore,

1266
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: that we've just we've reached the point of fauci no return.

1267
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 1: We just have to say that this guy should never

1268
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: he for me. He triggers me at some level, not

1269
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: that I'm somebody who really can get triggered, but he

1270
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 1: does that. I view this guy as he upsets me

1271
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 1: the second I have to hear his his crap. And

1272
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 1: here he is saying, you know, he doesn't think there's

1273
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,600
Speaker 1: going to be surges like we saw. Gee, that's a

1274
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 1: really smart thing to say. You don't think that we're

1275
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: going to see a massive wave of the pandemic again,

1276
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: even after we've gotten over half the population vaccinated. I'm

1277
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: glad to hear that. You'll note that he doesn't as

1278
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: I've been saying, he doesn't even take into account the

1279
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 1: amount of naturally derived immunity that exists in this country.

1280
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: He doesn't take that into account at all. And that's

1281
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: a huge number of people. Now, a lot of them

1282
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: have also gotten vaccinated, so they'll be included, they'll be

1283
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 1: double protected in a sense in the vaccination numbers. But

1284
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people. They're people like me

1285
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: who had COVID for sure, and based on all the

1286
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: signs we know, are immune. And they want me to

1287
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: get a shot that does have some side effects for

1288
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: some people. And they can't explain to me why scientifically

1289
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: that's actually going to make me better off than what

1290
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,600
Speaker 1: I currently have. They don't even try to explain this,

1291
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: I don't. They just say do it, do it, do

1292
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: it well. These are the same people that told us

1293
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 1: the lab League theory was absurd. These are the same

1294
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: people that have been wrong at so many critical moments

1295
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: throughout the course of this pandemic. And we're to forget that,

1296
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: We're to act like we haven't seen that. They can

1297
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: be tremendously wrong, I mean catastrophically wrong at various points

1298
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: in this So I certainly have not forgotten this. I

1299
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,959
Speaker 1: haven't let this go. I want more of a discussion

1300
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: about naturally derived immunity from COVID nineteen and I want

1301
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 1: that factored into all this public health measures and all

1302
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: the rest of it. All right, Moving to voter rights legislation,

1303
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:47,560
Speaker 1: this is fascinating. Democrats on this point are so shameless.

1304
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 1: We still now have this. It's a narrative that anything

1305
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: that Republicans try to do, even if they make, even

1306
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: if they make more votes, happen as a result of

1307
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: their laws, if they make it easier for people to vote,

1308
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:12,560
Speaker 1: but any restrictions intended to stop illegal or even accidentally

1309
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: incorrect voting, which does also happen. Democrats jump on it

1310
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: right away as an attack on our democracy. This is

1311
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,799
Speaker 1: one of their favorite phrases. An attack. Remember the Russian hacking,

1312
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: an attack on our democracy January sixth an attack on

1313
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: our democracy. Georgia's voter protection laws or whatever Voter Integrity

1314
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: Act an attack. You know how we know what I'm

1315
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna say. Here is Jensaki, the red haired propagandist in

1316
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: chief of this White House. Here she is played too.

1317
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 1: I would say that first he believes that the Texas

1318
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: legislation is a part of a concerted attack on our

1319
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: democracy being advanced at as we have seen not just

1320
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: in Texas, as you well know, but in states across

1321
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:07,440
Speaker 1: the country on the basis of the same repeatedly disproven

1322
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 1: lies that led to the assault on our nation's capital

1323
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: on January sixth. So that is of course of great

1324
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 1: concern to the President. He thinks that must stop. It

1325
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: must be easier, not harder, for all eligible voters to vote,

1326
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: to register and cast their ballots. We need to move

1327
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: forward and not backward. And the fact of the matter

1328
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: is that the Texas legislation would make it harder to

1329
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: vote in a state where it is already too hard

1330
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: for many people to vote. But it's not the only

1331
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: state where we're seeing this troubling trend. But this is

1332
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he asked his vice She

1333
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: asked for it, but he certainly was thrilled to have

1334
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: her leading the effort on voting rights moving forward, given

1335
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,719
Speaker 1: this as a huge priority to him and huge priority

1336
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 1: to her as well. Ah, did you say that this

1337
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 1: was important? This was the anatomy of the left authoritarian

1338
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: propaganda displayed for all. But you have to you have

1339
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: to pay close attention you have to understand how and

1340
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: why they do what they do. Notice that the attack

1341
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: on our democracy that this voter read, that these voting

1342
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 1: laws that they're they're trying to pass here, voter integrity

1343
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 1: acts across the states across the country, they are tied

1344
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: into the January sixth attack on our on our democracy

1345
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: because people, this is what she's saying. This is and

1346
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: this is important because there were people in the January

1347
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: sixth riot, which they call an insurrection and which they

1348
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: say as an attack on our democracy because they didn't

1349
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:48,520
Speaker 1: believe the election outcome and that that it was legitimate.

1350
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: And because these voter integrity laws that are being passed

1351
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: in red states across the country are rooted in the

1352
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:04,640
Speaker 1: concern that there could be cheating in an election, and

1353
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 1: they want to make it harder for there to be

1354
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: cheating an election. The people that are supporting laws like

1355
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 1: what's passed in Georgia and Texas are basically the same

1356
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: and are constituting the same attack on our democracy as

1357
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: the January sixth insurrection. You see, this is what they do.

1358
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: This is how they weaponize the January sixth narrative against

1359
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: everybody across the country who stands in the way of

1360
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. I know it's unseemly, it's grotesque what

1361
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: they're doing, but I want you to be very clear

1362
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,680
Speaker 1: on how they do it and what they're doing, because unfortunately,

1363
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: this stuff is effective. Unfortunately, it certainly fires up the

1364
01:24:54,520 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: left wing base, and it goes even beyond that to

1365
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: be something that makes it harder for you to be

1366
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: a conservative without having to deal with those kinds of attacks,

1367
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: having to deal with being lumped in with the January

1368
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: sixth insurrectionists, right, and just that the snide, the nasty

1369
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: tone they take about all this as well. I mean,

1370
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: here's Brooklyn. Brooklyn elitist Chris Hayes over at MSNBC on

1371
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: auditing the results in Arizona Play thirteen. Now, what is

1372
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: going on in Arizona with the ballot recount almost seems

1373
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: like cosplay. It's like a children's summer camp where they

1374
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: get to pretend to be wizards and witches. At Hogwarts.

1375
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of MAGA volunteers pretending to be

1376
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: conducting a recounter, an audit and counting ballots. But here's

1377
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: the thing, they're doing it with actual ballots. Those are

1378
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: the ballots because the Arizona Republicans use the power they

1379
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: have over the machinery of the state to actually turn

1380
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 1: them over to a private company and volunteers. And so

1381
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: this is attacking the most fundamental, crucial cornerstone of a

1382
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: functioning democracy, the audit. Notice what he did here, The

1383
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: audit is attacking or a crucial fundamental cornerstone of our democracy.

1384
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that a fascinating psychological operation he's running here, a

1385
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: SSIOP audits are a crucial cornerstone of our democracy, of

1386
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:34,839
Speaker 1: our democratic process of voting in elections. That's the reason

1387
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 1: we have audits. But now you'll notice that actually doing

1388
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,919
Speaker 1: what is within the system they pretend is an attack

1389
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: on the system. By actually checking to make sure that

1390
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 1: the result is what we've been told the result is,

1391
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 1: we are undermining the results. Oh it's like I've said

1392
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 1: all along. This would be like a using the other

1393
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: team of cheating in football when their coach throws a

1394
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: challenge flag. Throwing a challenge flag is not cheating. Those

1395
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: are the rules. You are not breaking the rules by

1396
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: doing so. But you see it's propaganda. You see, this

1397
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: is storytelling from the left. Oh, they're assaulting our democracy

1398
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: by checking the work of our democracy. Not allowed, not allowed.

1399
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: And what makes this even more outrageous is that they,

1400
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 1: the left, the Democrats, spend four years challenging and undermining

1401
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: through a special counsel, through a legal mechanism based on lies,

1402
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: based on fabricated evidence from the FBI, based on absurd

1403
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: rumors treated as truth by the intelligence community. They use

1404
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 1: the process as a weapon to create a special counsel

1405
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: against Donald Trump for four years, and now they're going

1406
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: to lecture us on attacks on democracy. Now they're going

1407
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: to act like we're the ones that need to learn

1408
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: a lesson here. I'm sorry, it's just too much after

1409
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,640
Speaker 1: a while, it's really just too much to take. I mean,

1410
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: I won't let them get away with it, but I

1411
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,879
Speaker 1: do have to. I do have to just gather myself

1412
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: here because it's so outrageous, it's so dishonest. But the

1413
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,679
Speaker 1: press corps in this country in general, journalism in general,

1414
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 1: has turned into partisan hackery openly. I mean, they viewed

1415
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: themselves as on a team working for a goal, and

1416
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: the goal is the destruction and the eradication of conservatism

1417
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 1: in American of the Republican Party. If they could outlaw

1418
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: the GOP, they would, and I don't want to say

1419
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: that out loud too many times because it might give

1420
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 1: them some ideas. But how would they do it. Well,

1421
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: They'd say that the GOP was part of was the

1422
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: party of the insurrection, and that Donald Trump was the

1423
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 1: leader of the GOP who called for the insurrection, and

1424
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:13,640
Speaker 1: that it is an attack on our democracy itself, and

1425
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: the only way to have true accountability would be to

1426
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: forever ban the GOP in American public life. I don't

1427
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 1: think they'll be able to do that, but I can

1428
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: tell you this, and I think you know it's true.

1429
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 1: If they could, they would, And in many ways that's

1430
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,719
Speaker 1: terrifying enough. That's right. It's day seventy since Kamala Harris

1431
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,679
Speaker 1: was appointed. The borders are but she's yet to visit

1432
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:40,839
Speaker 1: the border. She's yet to hold a formal press conference.

1433
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: She's going to the Central American countries, but not to

1434
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: solve the crisis on our border. She's going to those

1435
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: countries for a photo op, to stand next to world leaders,

1436
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: to have to plaster out there when she decides to

1437
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: run for president, and to bust up and increase her

1438
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:00,000
Speaker 1: foreign policy chops. This is a trip that's about Kamala Harris.

1439
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: It's not a trip about the children at the border,

1440
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: make no mistake. It is indeed about Harris's political aspirations.

1441
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 1: And that's why she knows that she doesn't want to

1442
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 1: be tasked or I should say, saddled with the reputational

1443
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: damage of not being able to fix the border. As

1444
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: the borders are, and as I've been telling you all along,

1445
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 1: Democrats have no interest in actually fixing the border. That

1446
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: is not what they seek to do. They like this

1447
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: situation of a de facto open border. They like the

1448
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 1: continuation of the lawlessness down there. They just see this

1449
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: as running up the scoreboard for Democrat votes and future

1450
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 1: Democrat political victories. So they're not going to change it.

1451
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 1: They just ended the remain in Mexico policy officially this week. Now,

1452
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:03,839
Speaker 1: what reasonable person can say that the remaind in Mexico

1453
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: policy wasn't a good idea if you actually want people

1454
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: to stop gaming our system pretending that they're going to

1455
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 1: get asylum when they're really not. But they know this

1456
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 1: is a way to get into America, to get into

1457
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: the American interior, and then there will be no further enforcement,

1458
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 1: and so from there it's all over. They know that

1459
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 1: they're aware of that, and that's the whole point, right,

1460
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 1: they know what's going to happen here. But I just

1461
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: think it's funny that, yeah, Kamala's going down to Central America.

1462
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: You know, she's stepping out on the world stage. Now,

1463
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 1: that's right, man, I wonder what the I got to

1464
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: check what the Vegas odds are on Kamala Harris takes

1465
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 1: over for Joe Biden before the end of his first term.

1466
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: I've got to think they. I think I feel like

1467
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 1: if I were if I were the odds maker on

1468
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: this one, or if I were the one that got

1469
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 1: to put out the estimate on this, I would say

1470
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 1: that you'd get I'd give you. I'd give you two

1471
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: to one odds, just because, yes, maybe Biden does want

1472
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 1: to finish out his first term. But I think it's

1473
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 1: two to one odds. That's that's fair, that Kamala so

1474
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,799
Speaker 1: so two to one in favor of Joe Biden finishing

1475
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: out his first term. But that still means there's a

1476
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:24,760
Speaker 1: really good chance that Kamala Harris takes over before the

1477
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 1: first term. And then what would be the odds that

1478
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:30,800
Speaker 1: I say that she that she stands and runs for

1479
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 1: the second term, so Joe doesn't, you know. So there's

1480
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 1: she takes over, so she becomes the president before the

1481
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: end of Joe's first term. And then there's she runs

1482
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 1: a campaign, uh you know, or she runs basically in

1483
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 1: the campaign season. Well, no, actually, I scrap all that.

1484
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 1: I think she is going to take over. I was

1485
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: trying to separate out let's say, having her take over

1486
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 1: next year from at the very end. But now I

1487
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: think the move here is Joe Biden steps down in

1488
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three at the end of twenty twenty three,

1489
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty four, Kamala Harris is the

1490
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:12,760
Speaker 1: president running for reelection as an incumbent. I think that's

1491
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: the move that they probably pull here. But yeah, Kamala

1492
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 1: with a border with so many other things, she she

1493
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,799
Speaker 1: just gets to be Kamala. She doesn't have to show results,

1494
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 1: she doesn't have to have any any strategic genius at

1495
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 1: work here. She just has to show up. And she

1496
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:35,720
Speaker 1: could even she could even have failures, doesn't matter. As

1497
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: long as she's Kamala Harris and the Democrat apparatus is

1498
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: behind her. She's she's in a position where she may

1499
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: become president of the United States. I think we have

1500
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: to get used to that thought that she will be president.

1501
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 1: How long I don't know, but she's gonna end up

1502
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 1: being president the United States. And as we talked about

1503
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: yesterday in the show, I mean Barack Obama has already

1504
01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 1: said this administration is a lot of the people from

1505
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: his innistration pushing the same ideas, pursuing the same goals.

1506
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,559
Speaker 1: So we really just have a third term of Obamaism here,

1507
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: which is this this American Marxist approach to governance. Right,

1508
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 1: That's that's where it all got going. You go back

1509
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,719
Speaker 1: to two thousand and eight and Biden continues to carry

1510
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,360
Speaker 1: that torch and he's just going to hand it off

1511
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 1: to Kamala and this is now almost on autopilot for

1512
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:30,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats. We have to shake things up. We have

1513
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 1: to be the ones that make the case and hold

1514
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: up a mirror to reality here such that we can

1515
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 1: take power away from these Democrat Marxists. That's what has

1516
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 1: to happen here. Otherwise I think they've got the whole

1517
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: they've got the whole game plan. We just have to

1518
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,559
Speaker 1: be honest enough with ourselves that we can see it too.

1519
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 1: And it definitely involves a president Kamala Soon. Critics slam

1520
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: Champagne socialist AOC the Eco someone from Queens for not

1521
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:07,799
Speaker 1: helping her grandmother after she posted photos of her Puerto

1522
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: Rican home ravaged by Hurricane Maria and blamed Trump. This

1523
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: is a classic moment in socialist mentality. My friends, So

1524
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:26,600
Speaker 1: AOC makes one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a

1525
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 1: year as a member of Congress, and she has she

1526
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:35,639
Speaker 1: owns a seventy thousand dollars Tesla, very very nice car,

1527
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:41,719
Speaker 1: electric car, and she rents two apartments, including in a

1528
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: luxury Washington, DC building. I just want to note that

1529
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:49,679
Speaker 1: this is all from the Daily Mail, and yet she's

1530
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:55,480
Speaker 1: complaining about the situation of her grandmother in Puerto Rico,

1531
01:35:56,200 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 1: saying that her home is in disrepair. She tweeted out

1532
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 1: just over a week ago, Abuela fell ill I believe

1533
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 1: is Spanish for grandmother. I went to Puerto Rico to

1534
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,799
Speaker 1: see her my first time in a year because of COVID.

1535
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:16,559
Speaker 1: This is her home. Hurricane Maria relief hasn't arrived. Trump

1536
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 1: blocked relief money for Puerto Rico. People are being forced

1537
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 1: to flee ancestral homes and developers are taking them. Let

1538
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 1: me just tell you something. If you're making, by the way,

1539
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: her congressional salary, I mean, lord only knows what she

1540
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 1: has in terms of book deal money. And this is

1541
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 1: somebody who's making lots of cash and already has created

1542
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 1: AOC of queens. Claims to be from the Bronx, really

1543
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 1: from Westchester, as we know. But AOC has plenty of

1544
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 1: resources to help her elderly grandmother in Puerto Rico. But no,

1545
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 1: she wants to be able to drive around in a

1546
01:36:54,880 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars electric sports car, while then tweeting out

1547
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 1: about how the federal government did not do enough to

1548
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 1: make her grandmother's home with peeling paint from the ceiling

1549
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:11,519
Speaker 1: and a state of disrepair, did not do enough to

1550
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 1: make her grandmother's home nicer. I gotta tell you something.

1551
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 1: This is a window into the socialist, leftist mindset in America.

1552
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: It's all about making other people pay the bills. It's

1553
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: all about making other people deal with the bad policies,

1554
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 1: with the sacrifices that are required, whereas you yourself get

1555
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 1: to live in relative splendor. You get to just enjoy

1556
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: all the all the best parts of America. You don't.

1557
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about whether or not your

1558
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: own family members are being taken care of. You get

1559
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 1: to just be living it, living it up, and family

1560
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 1: members of yours you can put aside and suggest that

1561
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:02,680
Speaker 1: the federal government should bailing them out. Oh okay, it's

1562
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 1: always somebody else's problem to fix, and it's always your

1563
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 1: money to take, right. This is why hypocrisy is central

1564
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 1: to the Democrat ethos and mindset. They believe that their

1565
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:21,439
Speaker 1: support of certain policies gives them license to act in

1566
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: very different ways personally. They believe that because they want

1567
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 1: to redistribute the wealth of others, they themselves are absolved

1568
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 1: of the guilt of accruing, of hoarding a lot of

1569
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 1: resources themselves. You know this is amazing though, because she

1570
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 1: AOC shared this and to attack Trump. It's Trump's fault.

1571
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 1: Biden has now been in office how many months, but

1572
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: we're still talking about how Trump didn't get money to

1573
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico to her grandmother to fix the ceiling in

1574
01:38:55,640 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: her house. As if that's the role of the federal GOVERNMNT.

1575
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 1: I mean, as if that's something that we now are

1576
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: supposed to accept is standard? Yeah, your house, your grandparents'

1577
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 1: house has a problem with the ceiling, the federal government

1578
01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 1: will fix it or send a check so that somebody

1579
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 1: else can. No, this is not the way it's supposed

1580
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:22,719
Speaker 1: to be. But for the Champagne socialist, the Limousine liberals

1581
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: of the left, this is the mindset. It's one of

1582
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 1: the reasons it's so appealing to be a leftist, whether

1583
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 1: you're in New York City or anywhere else across the country.

1584
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 1: You get all the benefits, you get all the social

1585
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: clout of being a social justice warrior. But of course

1586
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:42,639
Speaker 1: that term is only used ironically because there's nothing warrior

1587
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: like about these individuals. They don't take risks, they don't

1588
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,679
Speaker 1: show discipline. There's no honor in what they do. This

1589
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:54,480
Speaker 1: is all about vanity and virtue signaling. How could anyone

1590
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 1: show a photo of their grandparents' home in disrepair and

1591
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: think that this in some way impugning the federal government. Oh,

1592
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:08,599
Speaker 1: the federal government didn't do enough, you see. I think

1593
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: that it's one thing if you want to complain about

1594
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:14,560
Speaker 1: government resources or the distribution of funds from a relief program,

1595
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:19,759
Speaker 1: but that should come after you, as a young, wealthy,

1596
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 1: influential person in the case of AOC, a very influential

1597
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure quite wealthy. Olough don't know her net wealth,

1598
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: net worth rather individual until you have taken care of

1599
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 1: those in your own family. But this is common among leftists.

1600
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 1: They don't do what is necessary to support the people

1601
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 1: around them. They don't take the action, so to speak,

1602
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 1: in their own day to day lives. They're not going

1603
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 1: to show up to the soup kitchen, They're not going

1604
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: to volunteer their own time unless there's a camera crew present.

1605
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:53,799
Speaker 1: But they want to make sure that the government takes

1606
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: from you to give to others. They want to make

1607
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 1: sure that there's a redistributive mechanism, always backed by force,

1608
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:04,720
Speaker 1: because that's what government is. Force so that they can

1609
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: feel good about themselves. They can acquire not only material things,

1610
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: but also power, use it, and everyone else is just

1611
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:15,759
Speaker 1: supposed to go along, because otherwise you're a bad person

1612
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 1: who doesn't care about Abuela AOC's grandmother. In this case,

1613
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:25,799
Speaker 1: showing this was really much more than I think AOC

1614
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 1: intended to. But it is a continuing lesson for all

1615
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: the rest of us that if you have two apartments

1616
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:36,480
Speaker 1: and a tesla and your grandmother is living in poverty.

1617
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: You should probably tend to your grandmother instead of using

1618
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 1: it as an opportunity to try to blame Donald Trump.

1619
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 1: Probably take a moment and say, hold on a second,

1620
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: maybe there's more going on here than just another opportunity

1621
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 1: to cheap shot somebody over politics. Here, she goes. I

1622
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:00,920
Speaker 1: want to be clear, while the Trump administration AOC rights

1623
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,960
Speaker 1: had a major role, it wasn't just them. La junta,

1624
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: local policies, et cetera were all in the same page,

1625
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 1: policies that pushed out local families to turn this around,

1626
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 1: and we need audits and get recovery, to relief to

1627
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 1: people asap without onerous strings. It's it's remarkable to me also,

1628
01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 1: just this notion that so now the government, the government

1629
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:25,799
Speaker 1: has to replace people's houses if there's a big enough storm.

1630
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a more basic philosophical question. I

1631
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,679
Speaker 1: think a lot of people realize. So now the government's

1632
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 1: supposed to but if your house burns down and you

1633
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 1: don't have insurance, your house burned down. But if there's

1634
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 1: a major storm, then the government has to replace homes.

1635
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 1: What are the limits of that. I do think it's

1636
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 1: an interesting policy discussion, but it's not one that we're

1637
01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: going to have under this Biden administration because it's just

1638
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 1: open the money spig at friends, and just blast that

1639
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: cash all over the place. Whatever the Democrats want to

1640
01:42:55,360 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 1: spend it on. Shod over at folks. It's time for

Speaker 1: to to just relax, to relax as much as possible.

1674
01:44:55,920 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into Roll Call here day. First up, Hey,

1675
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 1: buck love today's opening monologue. You couldn't be more humble

1676
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: which isn't surprising. My friend. Don't worry you guys, Prucer

1677
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 1: Marcus here to keep me humble. But thank you. Dave.

1678
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 1: My freshman year at you are a guy named Dave

1679
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 1: Matthews started playing at a local club called the flood

1680
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 1: Zone with a three dollars cover and the place was empty.

1681
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 1: I knew he was gonna be big time. It's no

1682
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:23,719
Speaker 1: matter what you've done. When you started filling in for Glenn,

1683
01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: it was obvious you aren't at trajectory for greatness, and

1684
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 1: you've achieved that. It's awesome and my boys will be

1685
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:31,479
Speaker 1: lifetime listeners on whatever platform exists over the years. Well, Dave,

1686
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I really really do appreciate that.

1687
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: And that's awesome. Man. You have seen Dave Matthews in

1688
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,000
Speaker 1: the early days, Prucer Mark, you've seen Dave live? Right?

1689
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 1: I have not? Actually, you like cold Play, so you'd

1690
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,559
Speaker 1: like Dave Matthews. Yeah, I like Dave Matthews. I just

1691
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to go to a concert. Yeah,

1692
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 1: that would be cool. I've never seen a band live

1693
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 1: before they got really big, have you? They're like, did

1694
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 1: you ever did you go see like the Backstreet Boys

1695
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 1: when they were doing a you know, a thing in

1696
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,719
Speaker 1: a mall somewhere. I'd be I was not even thought

1697
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:04,719
Speaker 1: of when the Backstreet Boys were doing stuff at malls.

1698
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Yeah. But have you ever seen a

1699
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:10,599
Speaker 1: band that then got big afterwards? No? Not to not

1700
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 1: to mind. Actually I might have seen somebody open for

1701
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: like the Chili Peppers or someone, but I forget off

1702
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 1: the top of my head who it was. It's nobody

1703
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,680
Speaker 1: that I like that much. But I know they're bigger now. Man.

1704
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 1: It's funny. I haven't thought of the Red Hot Chili

1705
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,679
Speaker 1: Peppers in a while. I love that band. That band

1706
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 1: was always like on my playlists. Always they were they.

1707
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: I never went through a phase where they were the

1708
01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:33,759
Speaker 1: band I listened to the most, but they were always

1709
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: in the mix, you know what I mean, literally on

1710
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: the mix. They are probably a close second to Coldplay

1711
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 1: for me. Really amazing live. Have you ever seen them live? No?

1712
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: But I'm sure they would be. They would be great.

1713
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. I could LEGITIMI say I'm a Red

1714
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 1: Hot Chili Peppers fan, so as am I. Yeah, I

1715
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 1: didn't realize they remember too. Look at you. Pretty pretty

1716
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,720
Speaker 1: solid choices from you, you know, Yeah, not not not

1717
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: coming out here with the Venga Boys or um. I

1718
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:03,200
Speaker 1: would trying to think of like a band that will

1719
01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: upset you. Britney Spears, well, I mean pretty look if

1720
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 1: you were, if you were a young lady, I would

1721
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 1: say Britney Spears would be you know, my Britney Spears.

1722
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying from me to path of them as

1723
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:17,800
Speaker 1: my favorite. My sister loves Britney Spears, which I totally get.

1724
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,679
Speaker 1: But she loves She's She's a lawyer, and I feel

1725
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 1: like any day now she's gonna file an emotion to

1726
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 1: get Britney out of her conservator ship or whatever it's called,

1727
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:29,440
Speaker 1: where she can't make her own, you know, legal decisions

1728
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 1: and economic decisions. So yeah, I watched the there was

1729
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 1: a documentary on that. Yeah, that's really interesting. Free Britney. Yeah,

1730
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 1: totally all right, Lauren bucking Mark, I remember sitting in

1731
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 1: a grocery store parking lot at Christmas time listening to

1732
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,879
Speaker 1: Rush saying goodbye to all of us. I'm a Rush baby,

1733
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 1: tears streaming down my face. I could not believe the

1734
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:50,559
Speaker 1: world was losing his voice, that I was losing my

1735
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:52,640
Speaker 1: noon date with a man that had always made me

1736
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: laugh and brought comfort. When I thought of who should

1737
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 1: replace him, I told my husband it should be Buck.

1738
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 1: Thrilled to have my noon date back with someone who

1739
01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: makes me laugh and provides a touch tone in this

1740
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:06,679
Speaker 1: crazy world. Shields high and may they protect the golden

1741
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 1: EIB microphone. Lauren. That is very kind of you. I

1742
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: really appreciate that, and it's a it's a tremendous honor

1743
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: that you would even think of me in that way.

1744
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,800
Speaker 1: And Yeah, I'm gonna do Clay and I are going

1745
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:21,600
Speaker 1: to do a great show together. I can assure you

1746
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 1: of that. You'll have a lot of my perspective on

1747
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 1: things every day twelve to three, and there will be

1748
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:30,719
Speaker 1: Clay is going to bring a lot to the table too,

1749
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 1: and hasn't been joking around at least for those in

1750
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:35,920
Speaker 1: the audience that do like somebody to have some knowledge

1751
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 1: of professional sports, will certainly bring that because I'm I'm

1752
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: so out of it. I mean, I pretend to be

1753
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: a little more out of it than I am sometimes

1754
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 1: to joke around with producer Mark on professional sports. But

1755
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:48,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you other than the Super Bowl or

1756
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 1: a tennis match, professional tennis match, I have not watched

1757
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:57,519
Speaker 1: a sporting event start to finish. I don't know, five years,

1758
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 1: maybe ten years not watch one to finish, so it's

1759
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 1: absolutely insane to me. But we're different people. Yeah, yeah,

1760
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,760
Speaker 1: I know, David, all the best and congratulations on the

1761
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 1: show was encouraging to hear. I want to add while

1762
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm at it. In sixth grade, I took algebra before school,

1763
01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: so during school math, I was supposed to do my

1764
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:21,000
Speaker 1: homework in the back of the class. I didn't like homework,

1765
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 1: so I would listen to Rush on the teacher's old

1766
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: battery operator transistor radio, hiding under the table, pretending I'm

1767
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 1: doing my homework. Even in sixth grade, Rush would make

1768
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:32,799
Speaker 1: me laugh so much that I almost gave myself away

1769
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 1: once forgetting where I was where I was and started laughing. Well, David,

1770
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:41,040
Speaker 1: that's a great story, man, that's really funny. I wish

1771
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like I would. I would

1772
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 1: have gotten so distracted if I had had the ability

1773
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,479
Speaker 1: to listen to radio or podcasts in my classrooms, especially

1774
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: in high school. I went through a phase in high

1775
01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:53,120
Speaker 1: school where I just didn't really care that much about

1776
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 1: school work. I mean, I cared enough to get it done,

1777
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I didn't. I didn't want. I didn't

1778
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,720
Speaker 1: have a desire to excel. I had the desire to

1779
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 1: do what I needed to do to get where I

1780
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,640
Speaker 1: needed to get. So it would have been bad, I

1781
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: think if I had had distractions like the radio. But anyway, yeah,

1782
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a very cool story, David, Matt.

1783
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 1: Congratulations Team Buck on your new career opportunity. Congrats to

1784
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:23,559
Speaker 1: Clay Travis. Also, there are two X Files movies. Both

1785
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:26,640
Speaker 1: are pretty good films, with the first being better than

1786
01:50:26,640 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 1: the second. The first is true to the series alien plotline,

1787
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: while the second is more Earth based. You would find

1788
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 1: them entertaining. Buck, Producer Mark, if you watch the series,

1789
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 1: you might have a different opinion. Prucer Mark, what do

1790
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: we think? I don't think there's anything that could ever

1791
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 1: make me watch that movie again. That's how bad it was.

1792
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 1: And I was with people who said who liked the

1793
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,160
Speaker 1: X Files, like the series and watch it and still

1794
01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:52,679
Speaker 1: said the movie was trash. So to each their own.

1795
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:56,000
Speaker 1: But I will never watch that movie again. It's okay, Matt.

1796
01:50:56,040 --> 01:50:58,719
Speaker 1: I just want to say, Producer Mark likes the Entourage movie,

1797
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:02,000
Speaker 1: so he's clearly has some flaws. I didn't say I

1798
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 1: like to be Entourage movie. I'm saying it wasn't terrible.

1799
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: It was okay. I mean that is that is so

1800
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: generous for what maybe the worst, the worst thing I've

1801
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 1: ever seen. It was a bad movie in terms of

1802
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,679
Speaker 1: being a movie. It was bad, but I wouldn't say

1803
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't entertained at all enough. And one more here, Buck,

1804
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm so thrilled bit of fan since you began. I

1805

Speaker 1: was there every Saturday on your first radio show. I

1806
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:30,840
Speaker 1: was there when Glenn Interview you had said you will

1807
01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: be a star. I was there for your first time

1808
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 1: filling in for Russia. Couldn't be prouder. I'm seventy five,

1809
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:38,080
Speaker 1: could be your grandma. Congrats well and thank you for

1812
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,639
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing. Thank you so much for listening today, folks.

1813
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:48,960
Speaker 1: A few more weeks here at this time. Then we
