Speaker 1: Didn't take long, did it for Joe Biden and his
Speaker 1: many handlers to try to address the criticism of his both,
Speaker 1: as Ted Cruz has said, boring and radical speech well
Speaker 1: described there, I must say, but now we have to
Speaker 1: deal with the aftermath in terms of the policies and
Speaker 1: the lies. There's a lot of stuff that's being said
Speaker 1: right now by this Bide administration that cannot go without response.
Speaker 1: Biden gave an interview to I don't know, one of
Speaker 1: those silly morning shows that also does news. You know.
Speaker 1: One minute, it's like, hey, here's how to make the
Speaker 1: best you know, summer goat cheese salad, and then it's all,
Speaker 1: we're serious newspeople. He had one of those interviews sit
Speaker 1: down the show that they used to have Matt Lauer
Speaker 1: on before everybody found out what that guy was like.
Speaker 1: We'll get into all of this in a moment, but
Speaker 1: as you know, the Biden team wants to spend I
Speaker 1: think we have to refer to it that way because
Speaker 1: he's just shuffling around, muttering and saying whatever they tell
Speaker 1: him to. The Biden team wants six trillion dollars of spending.
Speaker 1: That's in addition to the current federal budget, and that
Speaker 1: means there's gonna be a lot of pressure on the
Speaker 1: currency and things are gonna get rocky in the economy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Nobody does. But I want you to prepare today. And
Speaker 1: that's why I want you to know. You can get
Speaker 1: gold and silver, real gold and silver you can hold
Speaker 1: in your hands, delivered to your door, or you can
Speaker 1: have it placed right into your I array or four
Speaker 1: oh one k tax free and penalty free. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about real gold and silver in your hands or your
Speaker 1: retirement accounts. Gold and silver hold their value. That's why
Speaker 1: you should have them, especially when markets decline or fail.
Speaker 1: The Oxford Gold Group is the industry leader in precious medals.
Speaker 1: They are for gold and silver at the lowest prices
Speaker 1: on the market. It's the company I trust to put
Speaker 1: gold and silver into both my hands and my ira.
Speaker 1: I get my gold from Oxford Gold Group. You should too.
Speaker 1: They'll beat any competitor's price on gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
Speaker 1: Call them now eight three three six hundred gold and
Speaker 1: request your free Precious Medals Investment Guide eight three three
Speaker 1: six hundred gold. The Oxford Gold Group, speak with them today,
Speaker 1: eight three three six hundred gold. It was all about
Speaker 1: the science until it wasn't mask up, save lives, mask up.
Speaker 1: It's what Fauci and the CDC says. Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: they told us. It was just about the data. It
Speaker 1: wasn't ideological, it wasn't about control. No, none of those things.
Speaker 1: We're told, none of that matters, none of that is important. Sure. Sure,
Speaker 1: Then you have Joe Biden, who just gave an interview
Speaker 1: in which he made it very clear that this was
Speaker 1: never really just about the science. No, it was symbolism.
Speaker 1: It was so much more. And they have completely rearranged
Speaker 1: society's thought processes when it comes to risk, when it
Speaker 1: comes to understanding what is reasonable, we have been by
Speaker 1: the Democrats in they're desperate and unfortunately somewhat successful bid
Speaker 1: to increase their power to authoritarian status. We have been
Speaker 1: brainwashed as a society into thinking the unreasonable is reasonable,
Speaker 1: into thinking the absurd is normal. Into making Joe Biden
Speaker 1: the president. I mean, I know you and I aren't
Speaker 1: responsible for that, but he is the president, and now
Speaker 1: he's vaccinated. The CDC has made it very clear because
Speaker 1: it is blaringly obvious. I mean, I don't give them
Speaker 1: any credit for this. Outdoor mat asking was stupid all along,
Speaker 1: we all know it. But now at least they're saying, look,
Speaker 1: if you're vaccinated, you're outdoors, there's no reason for you
Speaker 1: to be wearing a mask. It's really absurd. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: apparently knows more than the CDC. Play six the CDC
Speaker 1: guidance this week about outdoor mask with a lot of
Speaker 1: folks excited that they can now shed these masks if
Speaker 1: they've been double vaccinated. Are you going to be one
Speaker 1: of these folks? Now we're no longer going to see
Speaker 1: the President of the United States outside with the mask on. Sure, sure,
Speaker 1: I mean, but what I'm gonna do though, because the
Speaker 1: likelihood of my being able to be outside that people
Speaker 1: not come up to me is not very very high.
Speaker 1: So it's like, look, you and I took our masks off.
Speaker 1: I come in because look at the distance we are.
Speaker 1: But if we were in fact sitting there talking to
Speaker 1: one they are close, I'd have my mask on, and
Speaker 1: I'm act you'd have a mask, even though we've both
Speaker 1: been vaccinated. And so it's it's a small precaution to
Speaker 1: take that has a profound an impact. It's a patriotic responsibility,
Speaker 1: for God's sake. It's making sure that your wife, your children,
Speaker 1: you're a fact that they haven't been vaccinated, making sure
Speaker 1: that they're not going to get sick. It's not a
Speaker 1: patriotic responsibility for vaccinated people to continue to wear a mask,
Speaker 1: especially when they're talking to other vaccinated people. You moron. Look,
Speaker 1: we've all known that Joe Biden is not a bright guy.
Speaker 1: Everyone's known that for a very long time. But this
Speaker 1: is who the Democrats put forward. This is who they
Speaker 1: were able to fool in a pandemic year enough Americans
Speaker 1: into just craving, you know, normalcy centrism, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: And Trump was, you know, worse than Hitler and created
Speaker 1: COVID and with all of that, they were able to
Speaker 1: put this complete buffoon forward into the Oval office. And
Speaker 1: what he's saying is sheer ludacy. This is just crazy
Speaker 1: time now. But I knew we would get here because
Speaker 1: what I've been telling you all along. The mask is
Speaker 1: a politico religious symbol for the left. That's why you
Speaker 1: now have the President of the United States openly defying
Speaker 1: the CDC at this stage of the pandemic on this
Speaker 1: and insisting that it is your patriotic duty. I want
Speaker 1: to tell Biden to go something himself and it rhymes
Speaker 1: with my name. This is outrageous. This is what the
Speaker 1: left has done. This is where we are now. People
Speaker 1: are that incapable of processing things for themselves, that incapable
Speaker 1: of understanding what is a fair and realistic policy about
Speaker 1: these mitigation measures, as Fauci calls them, that we have
Speaker 1: to accept this degree of sheer stupidity. This is dumb.
Speaker 1: But you see they've gotten used to this. They like
Speaker 1: that you all comply because you have to. But now
Speaker 1: that it's getting closer to maybe you don't have to
Speaker 1: do they still want you to comply. The mask shamers
Speaker 1: the most annoying, nagging pains in the butt you've ever
Speaker 1: come across, and you're like, where you miss? Where you miss? Yeah? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's done. Such a great job shutting down the
Speaker 1: pandemic all over the world, hasn't it. Remember when they
Speaker 1: were blaming Trump for all of this. It's like they
Speaker 1: don't have access to newspapers or the Internet to see
Speaker 1: how has this gone in Europe? How has this gone
Speaker 1: in Brazil? How's it going in India? Now, all those
Speaker 1: countries were wearing masks, countries in Europe and then of
Speaker 1: course Brazil and India, they were all masked up. In fact,
Speaker 1: as recently as last December. As you know, we were
Speaker 1: told that India beat the pandemic according to doctors in India,
Speaker 1: the experts, because they all massed up so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now where is it the places in a catastrophe. India's
Speaker 1: going through what we were told could happen here, which
Speaker 1: is hospital capacity, overwhelmed, people not able to get medical care.
Speaker 1: It's a horrible situation. You know. Maybe overreliance on masks
Speaker 1: as a policy, Maybe the almost fetishization of masks as
Speaker 1: the primary, most important tool to stop this because it's
Speaker 1: the only one the CDC could really come up with
Speaker 1: it first. Maybe that actually led to a lot of
Speaker 1: bad ideas and bad policy that made this worst. Anyone
Speaker 1: ever think about that? Oh no, sure, that's not the case.
Speaker 1: It's not like people constantly touching and rearranging their dirty
Speaker 1: mask might actually help transmit this disease, which is what
Speaker 1: was said at the very beginning, if you remember. But
Speaker 1: I don't even want to get into a how effective
Speaker 1: are masks debate or discussion right now, all right, because
Speaker 1: remember they've convinced themselves that it's okay that we went
Speaker 1: from foul mocking masks too. It's a patriotic duty to
Speaker 1: wear them in a month or two. So you know,
Speaker 1: a hundred years of medicine and science forgotten in a
Speaker 1: month based on what panic, panic, oh, asymptomatic spread. That
Speaker 1: changes things, because now you know, no, no, no, we
Speaker 1: can all smell the nonsense. We could smell this bs.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't really have the capacity
Speaker 1: to think for themselves. And when Joe Biden says something
Speaker 1: like masking up is a patriotic duty, they stand to
Speaker 1: attention and they salute and say, sir, yes, sir, Commander Chief,
Speaker 1: I will double mask, even after vaccinated and standing alone
Speaker 1: in a field, sir, because I love my country. No,
Speaker 1: that's not what you're actually telling anybody when you do that.
Speaker 1: What you're saying is that you are a sheep and
Speaker 1: that you will allow yourself to be shorn of all
Speaker 1: dignity because the people in charge tell you that's what
Speaker 1: has to happen. This is where we are. Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: masking up as a patriotic duty in direct contradiction the
Speaker 1: circumstance of masking outside while vaccine he's doing. Yesterday, he
Speaker 1: was out, he gave some speech. The guy spent thirty
Speaker 1: seconds looking for a mask to wear outside. Symbolism is
Speaker 1: not science yet, jackass Biden. But Democrats haven't achieved what
Speaker 1: they want yet with all this. Yeah, they beat Trump,
Speaker 1: but they're not done. They've got to keep you compliant.
Speaker 1: They've got to keep you willing to take orders. What
Speaker 1: do you mean, You start to breathe fresh air, You
Speaker 1: start to see what it's like to be outside and
Speaker 1: be around fellow human beings. Maybe you don't want, you know,
Speaker 1: Joe and Kamala in charge of everything. Maybe people start
Speaker 1: to recognize that are government is run by imbeciles and buffoons.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be interesting? But that doesn't help you. See,
Speaker 1: that doesn't help their power grab. It's a patriotic responsibility,
Speaker 1: for God's sakes. Notice that he even becomes sanctimonious about it.
Speaker 1: He becomes smarmy for God, for God's sakes, Patriot, No,
Speaker 1: it's not you, idiot, unbelievable. This guy's the President United States.
Speaker 1: I'll tell this right now, My God, I miss Donald Trump. God.
Speaker 1: Kids in K through twelve schools obviously are not going
Speaker 1: to be able to get the vaccine by the fall.
Speaker 1: Should all schools in this country be opened this fall
Speaker 1: for five day, five day a week in person learning regardless,
Speaker 1: based on the science of the CDC, they should probably
Speaker 1: all be open. There's not overwhelming evidence there's much of
Speaker 1: a transmission among these people. Young people should probably be open. Wow,
Speaker 1: what a profile encourage Joe Biden is year. Notice that
Speaker 1: they say they invoke this burst on the science. Just
Speaker 1: saying based on the science doesn't mean that you're actually
Speaker 1: basing it on science. We all know that. You know.
Speaker 1: This reminds me of a of a really snyde rhetorical
Speaker 1: trick that G. Noam Chomsky, whoever I believe recently passed away,
Speaker 1: used to use in debates with William F. Buckley, who
Speaker 1: would say, turning to the facts, let's let's turn to
Speaker 1: the facts. He would say, let's turn to the facts,
Speaker 1: which is always a backhanded way of saying. You know,
Speaker 1: what you're saying is not factual. What I'm saying is factual. Right,
Speaker 1: Chomsky is wildly overrated intellectual. But anyway, the truth here
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden and the CDC guidance and all the
Speaker 1: stuff that we're seeing is that the Democrats are in
Speaker 1: a panic at the notion of one having to re
Speaker 1: enter normal society because they've convinced themselves that all you
Speaker 1: have to do to be a really good, brave person
Speaker 1: is put hashtag BLM on your Facebook page and not
Speaker 1: go outside very much and double mask all the time,
Speaker 1: you know, just be a good compliant, a good compliant
Speaker 1: member of the Democrat apparatus. Like we're all a bunch
Speaker 1: of guinea pigs, you know, We're all just in our
Speaker 1: cages hoping that you know, someone comes along and puts
Speaker 1: enough water in our little feeders and tells us that
Speaker 1: we're being good. It's disgraceful the way the Democrats have
Speaker 1: politicized this whole pandemic, the way that they've pushed for
Speaker 1: rules that are far in excess one of their of
Speaker 1: really any government's authority. I mean, I'm sorry, I don't
Speaker 1: believe that a government has the right to tell you
Speaker 1: that you have to stifle your breathing outside by yourself,
Speaker 1: because they say so. I mean, it's not even really enforceable.
Speaker 1: But they counted on the social enforcers out there. They
Speaker 1: counted on people that were where is your mask and
Speaker 1: you're out jogging by yourself? People should be so ashamed.
Speaker 1: What a what a bunch of cowards? Really, the whole
Speaker 1: thing was so dumb. And you know these people, the
Speaker 1: airline stewards or whatever or attendance or whatever they call them,
Speaker 1: now running around you know, excuse me, sir, put your
Speaker 1: mask on. Put your mask on. Okay, So if I
Speaker 1: do I have a time limit, if I'm having a
Speaker 1: diet coke with my mask down, is there a time
Speaker 1: limit or we all realize I'm just breathing air, like
Speaker 1: we're all breathing air and this is dumb. Okay, Okay, good,
Speaker 1: I'm glad we established that. You know, Biden is also
Speaker 1: coming under some pressure because it's clear that he didn't
Speaker 1: really want to talk about what happened, what's happening at
Speaker 1: the border based on what he said in the speech,
Speaker 1: that was really very little that he wanted to say
Speaker 1: other than amnesty. That's there their solution to the illegal
Speaker 1: immigration challenge crisis. All of the above is to incentivize,
Speaker 1: to reward the first wave, and to incentivize a second
Speaker 1: massive wave. And at that point you just say, well,
Speaker 1: why even pretend that we have immigration law? What's the
Speaker 1: point Biden is out there? Oh and just on the
Speaker 1: schools thing, I just wanted to point out, they never
Speaker 1: should have been closed. And I will never forgive Fauci
Speaker 1: and the Democrats for being such little cowards that they
Speaker 1: actually shut down schools. What they've done to children is appalling.
Speaker 1: They weren't keeping them safe. It was all for the
Speaker 1: teachers unions. We all know that. But here's Biden on
Speaker 1: the migrant surge. This is this is a little bit
Speaker 1: of of a longer clip, but I wanted you to
Speaker 1: hear it. And actually, you know, producer Mark, maybe we
Speaker 1: can pause midway so I can react to some of it.
Speaker 1: Play four. Does it demand urgent action now? Is what's
Speaker 1: happening at the southern border? Is it a crisis? It
Speaker 1: is getting urgent action now. For example, a month ago,
Speaker 1: we had thousands of young kids in custody in places
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be and controlled by the border patrol. We
Speaker 1: have now cut that down dramatically. Here. Look, here's what happened,
Speaker 1: the failure to have a real train position. The two
Speaker 1: departments that didn't you give us access to virtually anything
Speaker 1: were the Immigration and the Defense Department. So we didn't
Speaker 1: find out they had fired a whole lot of people,
Speaker 1: that they were understaffed considerably. In April alone, this president,
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy thousand people migrants apprehended at the border.
Speaker 1: It's a twenty year record. They're twenty two thousand unaccompanied
Speaker 1: children in our country right now. That's a record that
Speaker 1: settles to most folks like a crisis. Well, look it's
Speaker 1: way down now. We've now gotten control. For example, we
Speaker 1: have They didn't plan for which it comes every year,
Speaker 1: this flow, whether it's twenty two ten. They didn't have
Speaker 1: the beds that were available. They didn't plan for the overflow.
Speaker 1: They didn't plan for the Department of Health and Human
Speaker 1: Services to have places to take the kid from from
Speaker 1: the border patrol and putt them in beds where there
Speaker 1: were security and there were people that could take care
Speaker 1: of them. So there's a significant it can change right now,
Speaker 1: significant change in the circumstances for children coming to and
Speaker 1: at the border. What a slimy liar. This is a crisis.
Speaker 1: This is a total mess. It is lawlessness. It's the
Speaker 1: infiltration not only of massive number of illegal immigrants in
Speaker 1: the United States, but of narcotics into our communities. It's
Speaker 1: easier for the cartels than it has been in perhaps
Speaker 1: decades to just run large amounts of lethal fentanyl and
Speaker 1: other drugs into the United States, poisoning our communities, leading
Speaker 1: to drug gang violence. We just had the biggest increase
Speaker 1: on record of homicides in one year. Most of those
Speaker 1: homicides you can trace to drug related activity, gang related activity,
Speaker 1: and it's all coming from south the border. It's all
Speaker 1: coming from the cartels. So what is not a crisis
Speaker 1: about this? That's what you have to ask. But notice
Speaker 1: Biden and his usual, you know, his usual unctious, dishonest
Speaker 1: salesman routine. Here is Oh, but it was the Knows
Speaker 1: administration before. I don't have enough beds where numbers are
Speaker 1: way down. No, they're not way down, and they're not
Speaker 1: going to go down. Because Biden knows he doesn't have
Speaker 1: the Democrat base supporting any real effort to instill consequences.
Speaker 1: There has to be a downside of crossing the border.
Speaker 1: From a government perspective, the government has to say, no,
Speaker 1: you will not benefit from this, No, this is not acceptable. Okay,
Speaker 1: otherwise they're going to keep doing it. And that's the
Speaker 1: very basically, the very straightforward situation here. And then there's
Speaker 1: also remember about separating families and all that play three.
Speaker 1: During the campaign, you pledge to reunite hundreds of children
Speaker 1: who have been separated from their parents by the previous administration,
Speaker 1: according to our reporting, And in your first one hundred days,
Speaker 1: and not one child has been reunited. I don't think
Speaker 1: how is that. I don't think that's true, but that
Speaker 1: could be what we have times we have united children
Speaker 1: with their families as they've come across the border. But
Speaker 1: one of the things is we don't know yet where
Speaker 1: those kids are, and we're trying like hell to figure
Speaker 1: out what happened. It's almost like being a sleuth, and
Speaker 1: we're still continuing to try like hell to find out
Speaker 1: where they are. You've said to migrants, don't come. He said,
Speaker 1: don't come. You're very clear, or would you tell parents
Speaker 1: in Central American Mexico don't send your kids? Absolutely? And look,
Speaker 1: here's the deal. So don't send your kids. That's the best.
Speaker 1: Do not send your kids, period. They're most they're in
Speaker 1: jeopardy going making that thousand mile trek. And so what
Speaker 1: we're doing now is we're going back to those count
Speaker 1: in question where most of us coming from, and saying, look,
Speaker 1: who you can apply from your country. You don't have
Speaker 1: to make this trick. They don't want to apply moron.
Speaker 1: They want to just get in, and you're letting them.
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening. But the Democrats think they benefit
Speaker 1: from the border crisis. We all know it, so in
Speaker 1: their minds, it's really not a crisis. All right. Producers
Speaker 1: here pointed out that no, Noam Chomsky is still alive.
Speaker 1: My bad, everybody, sorry about the whoops, false alarm. He's
Speaker 1: still run around spreading his warmed over Marxism to whoever
Speaker 1: will listen. Howard Zinn died a few years ago, another
Speaker 1: very left wing Marxist author and provocateur. But yeah, Noam
Speaker 1: Chomsky's alive. So I don't know why I thought that,
Speaker 1: But we don't need to get into that right now.
Speaker 1: Let's see, we have a bunch, oh, the law enforcement
Speaker 1: situation and what's happening across the country. I want to
Speaker 1: drill down into that for a moment here, because this
Speaker 1: is really turning into a question of attitudes toward cops.
Speaker 1: That's what's really so essential in all of this attitude
Speaker 1: toward police and why that is so damaging and leading
Speaker 1: to such an enormous spike in violent crime across the
Speaker 1: country has been for many, many months. So we'll get
Speaker 1: into that in just a moment. But as you know,
Speaker 1: reopen is happening. In some places it's coming very quickly,
Speaker 1: and others it's lagging a little bit. But it is
Speaker 1: going to happen, and it's going to be great for
Speaker 1: small businesses to finally have the boot of the government,
Speaker 1: you know, off their backs. It's going to be great
Speaker 1: for small businesses to be able to expand and get
Speaker 1: up and running again. But I want to help you
Speaker 1: in whatever way that I can. So for all the
Speaker 1: folks out there who are running their own business, running
Speaker 1: a business really at whatever level, you gotta get Bambi, okay,
Speaker 1: because when you're running a business, hr issues can kill you.

Speaker 1: in the United States in homicides in one year on record.
Speaker 1: That's what the headline should be for twenty twenty. The
Speaker 1: official numbers aren't in yet. This is why you haven't
Speaker 1: seen more of it. The official data from the FBI
Speaker 1: comes out in September four, twenty twenty. So what we're
Speaker 1: relying on our preliminary figures, but the preliminary figures are
Speaker 1: only going to be most likely a little lower than
Speaker 1: the final numbers. And you're looking at an estimate of
Speaker 1: a thirty to thirty five, maybe even thirty seven percent
Speaker 1: increase in homicides nationwide in twenty twenty. Why is that happening?
Speaker 1: People who say it's COVID need to explain how that's possible.
Speaker 1: You have far fewer people on the streets, in public places,
Speaker 1: public accommodations, interacting with each other, unprecedented in the history
Speaker 1: really of modern history of America. Right, You've never had
Speaker 1: so little contact with your fellow human beings. And yet
Speaker 1: we think that there's that's an explanation for why there
Speaker 1: are more people killing other people. Really, now, if you
Speaker 1: look at the actual spike in homicides, what you see
Speaker 1: is that it really got going right around the killing
Speaker 1: of George Floyd and the b LM movements resurgence BLM
Speaker 1: two point zero. That's what coincided with the big spike
Speaker 1: in shootings and homicides and cities across the country. And
Speaker 1: it's very important to remember that homicides are just the
Speaker 1: most egregious and visible and quantifiable manifestation of criminality out there. Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you got to hide a body, so
Speaker 1: to speak. If you're the local government. People know when
Speaker 1: someone dies, so it's tough to cover this stuff up.
Speaker 1: They still do sometimes, but it's tough to cover it up.
Speaker 1: And also it's the most serious crime, and so people
Speaker 1: tend to pay a lot of attention to it. This
Speaker 1: is happening because the Democrats have this no shit, it's
Speaker 1: it's this unreasonable, this this absurd idea that cops are racists,
Speaker 1: that American police law enforcement are shooting unarmed black men
Speaker 1: for reasons that are never specified other than systemic racism. Right,
Speaker 1: that this is which they can't even really define, and
Speaker 1: they do this and they get away with it, and
Speaker 1: it's it's so it's a central issue in America today.
Speaker 1: The central issue of law enforcement, according to Democrats, is
Speaker 1: police shooting unarmed black men. This is psychotic. It does happen,
Speaker 1: It is very rare, and when it does happen, and
Speaker 1: it shouldn't happen, the police are generally overwhelmingly prosecuted to
Speaker 1: the fullest extent of the law. This is not the
Speaker 1: crisis they pretend it is right, It is aberrant, it
Speaker 1: is rare, it is highly unusual. Wool. But this has
Speaker 1: become a manipulation. What they do is they manipulate the
Speaker 1: scope of it. They take something that exists and pretend
Speaker 1: that it is it is a much bigger problem, and
Speaker 1: think about it this way. You know, if if I
Speaker 1: just just to come up with an example off the
Speaker 1: top of your head, you know, if you were really
Speaker 1: upset in the office one day and you you dropped there,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the one of the curse words
Speaker 1: you can't say on radio, if you really upset the office,
Speaker 1: you said that, and your boss called you into the
Speaker 1: office and said, you know, your language in general is
Speaker 1: entirely unacceptable, and I think we're gonna have to suspend
Speaker 1: you for two weeks because you're always cursing. You're always cursing.
Speaker 1: And you say, well, hold on a second, it only
Speaker 1: happened one time. That's a big difference. What do you
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't happen all the time. No, you're always
Speaker 1: doing it. You're always doing it. You're you're systemically cursing.
Speaker 1: That's what the left does here. They inflate and exaggerate
Speaker 1: the scope, the scale of the problem in order to
Speaker 1: achieve a political agenda, and the political agenda is to
Speaker 1: make law enforcement the scapegoat for all of society's problems,
Speaker 1: particularly high crime rates in predominantly minority communities in major cities.
Speaker 1: It's the cops fault. That's what the transference here, that's
Speaker 1: what the the political goal is. We don't we don't
Speaker 1: talk about any you know, we don't talk about failing
Speaker 1: schools or broken families, or or focus on addiction or
Speaker 1: any number of very real challenges and problems that, by
Speaker 1: the way, all Americans have, but do often reach epidemic
Speaker 1: levels in poor areas of minority communities in this country. No,
Speaker 1: we don't talk about that. It's the cops fault. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this at some level is almost like you have,
Speaker 1: you know, very very high levels of heart disease and
Speaker 1: heart failure in this country for people at younger and
Speaker 1: younger ages. And yeah, I'm sure there are ems techs
Speaker 1: who show up sometimes to deal with a heart attack
Speaker 1: victim and they mess up, maybe they're on their phone
Speaker 1: and they shouldn't be, and someone dies who shouldn't. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's rare and the reason for heart attacks in
Speaker 1: general America is not ems they're not causing this, right,
Speaker 1: and criminality in any community is not being caused by
Speaker 1: law enforcement. But this is we have to have a
Speaker 1: fundamental shift in attitudes here. Otherwise we can just keep
Speaker 1: seeing what's happening. I mean, you just had two hundred
Speaker 1: cops in Seattle walk off the job because they feel
Speaker 1: there is an anti police climate, and you know what
Speaker 1: they're right there is. Remember they set up the Chop
Speaker 1: the Capitol Hill occupy protest or the CHAZ the Capitol
Speaker 1: Hill Autonomous Zone, and it resulted, I mean, the whole
Speaker 1: thing was a mess. It was a disgrace. But the
Speaker 1: cops were told don't go in there. Could you imagine
Speaker 1: think about what that does to your authority on the
Speaker 1: streets in your city. When the mayors, the Democrat bureaucrats
Speaker 1: say we're actually going to respect this group of loons
Speaker 1: who say they've established a place that's that's outside the
Speaker 1: writ of government, so to speak of local government here,
Speaker 1: think about what that does. Now. You may have seen
Speaker 1: this or heard this already. There is a student I
Speaker 1: don't know the young man's name, or i'd give him
Speaker 1: credit at Cyprus College in California. I never heard of
Speaker 1: the school either. But he's on a zoom call. This
Speaker 1: this has been leaked out there. He's on a zoom
Speaker 1: call with a professor, and I want you to hear this,
Speaker 1: this whole exchange, because he's clearly they're having some kind
Speaker 1: of a class discussion over zoom. And the issue is
Speaker 1: whether police should be portrayed in children's shows and essentially
Speaker 1: whether cops are the good guys. I mean, I remember
Speaker 1: growing up, and you know, my parents even taught me,
Speaker 1: if you know, if you ever get separated from us,
Speaker 1: or you know, you're ever scared or whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: go find a cop, find a fireman. They'll take care
Speaker 1: of you, they'll protect you. And you and I both
Speaker 1: know as I say that, when whether you have kids
Speaker 1: or not, or whether this is for you or your children,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in trouble in America and you
Speaker 1: go to a cop or a firefighter or you know,
Speaker 1: any any number. First of all, I think if you
Speaker 1: just go to your fellow American usually they're going to
Speaker 1: try to help you. But if you go to a
Speaker 1: cop or a firefighter, you're gonna you've got a ninety
Speaker 1: nine point nine nine nine chance, especially if you're a kid,
Speaker 1: that they're going to try to help you out and
Speaker 1: take care of you, make sure you're safe. That's America.
Speaker 1: That's the country we actually live in, right, That's not
Speaker 1: somehow what the left thinks. They think that, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: hands up, don't shoot. You don't know, you know, you're
Speaker 1: a kid. It could be dangerous. Those cops, they're so dangerous.
Speaker 1: And you know who were being held up as heroes
Speaker 1: in our society. I mean, I'll just tell you this
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, Lebron James is not a hero.
Speaker 1: Lebron James is a skilled athlete and an idiot. But
Speaker 1: people look up to him. They look up to him
Speaker 1: because he can dribble a basketball and jump high and shoot.
Speaker 1: But I don't care what he has to say about
Speaker 1: law enforcement or cops, and nobody else with a brain
Speaker 1: should either cops. If we're going to create heroes in
Speaker 1: our society, I'd much rather have it be police than
Speaker 1: basketball players or baseball players, or hockey players or anybody
Speaker 1: else for that matter. All Right, if we're going to
Speaker 1: choose who we tell kids to look up to, it's
Speaker 1: people who are doing public service, putting themselves in the line,
Speaker 1: keeping our communities safe. Same thing with the United States military.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, we still at least Democrats
Speaker 1: have to have to pay lip service to this in
Speaker 1: a lot of cases because the Democrat left. I know,
Speaker 1: they're Democrats who are military and support the military, but
Speaker 1: the far left of the Democrat Party despises our military.
Speaker 1: It's just a fact. But here's how a conversation goes
Speaker 1: at Cyprus College in California between a students professor. I
Speaker 1: want you, I want you to really listen for the
Speaker 1: disdain in the female professor's voice when they're talking about
Speaker 1: whether cops are the good guys? Play one. All right,
Speaker 1: So you brought up the police and your speech a
Speaker 1: few times. Um, so what is your like, what is
Speaker 1: your main concern? Since I mean, honestly, the whole reason police,
Speaker 1: I mean it is systemic. The issue is systemic because
Speaker 1: the whole reason we have police departments in the first place,
Speaker 1: where did it stem from? What's our history? Going back
Speaker 1: to what Jeremy was talking about, where it was, what
Speaker 1: does it step from? It stems from people in the
Speaker 1: South wanting to capture runaway slaves. Maybe they shouldn't be heroes,
Speaker 1: maybe they don't go along on a kid's show. So
Speaker 1: I disagree with the what Jeremy said about it because
Speaker 1: I think cops are heroes and they have to have
Speaker 1: a difficult job. But we have to have all of them,
Speaker 1: not I mean, i'd say a good majority of them.
Speaker 1: You have bad people in every business and every yet
Speaker 1: we wait a police officers have committed atrocious crimes and
Speaker 1: have gotten away with it and have never been convicted
Speaker 1: of any of it. And I think a person who
Speaker 1: has family members who are police officers, Yes, I understand,
Speaker 1: and this is what I believe. This is my opinion,
Speaker 1: and this is, you know, not popular to say, but
Speaker 1: I do support our police, and we have bad people,
Speaker 1: and the people that do bad things should be brought
Speaker 1: to justice. I agree with that. But I think that
Speaker 1: say I'm say it again, they haven't. Well, I agree
Speaker 1: with you on that point if they should, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so what is your bottom line point? You're saying police
Speaker 1: officers should be revered viewed as heroes along shows with
Speaker 1: children that I think they are heroes in a sense
Speaker 1: because they come to your need and they come and
Speaker 1: help you, and they have a problem just like every
Speaker 1: other business. But we should fix that. But I think
Speaker 1: they're they're heroes, well looking at it as a business
Speaker 1: because they're actually supposed to protect and serve. Police do
Speaker 1: not come from the enforcement of slavery. By the way,
Speaker 1: I just you know this is it's right along the
Speaker 1: lines with the sixteen nineteen projects saying that the American
Speaker 1: colonies were founded to protect slavery. This is they are
Speaker 1: always that the Left is desperate to rewrite history to
Speaker 1: create a false moral high ground. There there are there
Speaker 1: were constables and sheriffs, which actually comes from the English
Speaker 1: Shire reeve for the person who was in charge of
Speaker 1: of of the defense of a township. Um, it goes
Speaker 1: back to the thirteen hundreds. There have been gendarmes in
Speaker 1: France paid by the state for hundreds of years. Okay,
Speaker 1: this the idea that cops. But they spread this and
Speaker 1: then people say it, and then they say, well, well
Speaker 1: there was an elevation of law and ford and and
Speaker 1: what is really the point then are they saying that
Speaker 1: so law enforcement comes from the protection of slavery. It's
Speaker 1: just to undermine the whole system. We should have no cops.
Speaker 1: This is crazy. So remember the left also left also
Speaker 1: wants to disarm you while they're also undermining police and
Speaker 1: abolishing and disbanding and defunding police. Yeah, these people are
Speaker 1: civilizational arsenists. They just they're out of their minds. But
Speaker 1: the ones who are pushing at the most, the ones
Speaker 1: who go on TV, you know, they live in safe neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Still they don't feel the brunt of this, and they
Speaker 1: convince people who are underprivileged, who do live in high
Speaker 1: crime areas that there's nothing about the community that needs
Speaker 1: to be addressed or dealt with. It's the cops fault,
Speaker 1: which is in and of itself a seductive lie. People
Speaker 1: suffer as a result of this. Thousands more people, a
Speaker 1: lot of the minorities murdered, raped, assaulted, robbed last year,
Speaker 1: in excess of any normal year, stretching back for twenty years,
Speaker 1: the numbers were far higher. And it's in large part
Speaker 1: because the left lies about cops, about the history of cops,
Speaker 1: about what cops do, about the percentage of cops that
Speaker 1: are bad. But you know, with the media and the
Speaker 1: corporations all scared on this one and all telling lies too,
Speaker 1: it's very hard to get the truth out there. Senator
Speaker 1: Tim Scott said last night that America is not a
Speaker 1: racist country. Do you agree with that. And what do
Speaker 1: you make of his warning against fighting discrimination with more discrimination.
Speaker 1: I believe that we need to First of all, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think America is a racist country, but we
Speaker 1: also do have to speak truth about the history of
Speaker 1: racism in our country and it's and its existence today.
Speaker 1: And I applaud the President for always having the ability
Speaker 1: and the curve, frankly, to speak the truth about it.
Speaker 1: He spoke what we know from the intelligence community. One
Speaker 1: of the greatest threats to our national security is domestic
Speaker 1: terrorism manifested by white supremacist and so these are issues
Speaker 1: that we must confront. And it doesn't it does not
Speaker 1: help to heal our country, to unify us as a people,
Speaker 1: to ignore the realities of that. And I think the
Speaker 1: President has been outstanding and a real national leader we
Speaker 1: know on the issue of saying, let's confront the realities
Speaker 1: and let's deal with it, knowing we all have so
Speaker 1: much more in common than what separates us. And the
Speaker 1: idea is that we want to unify the country, but
Speaker 1: not without speaking truth and requiring accountability as appropriate deal
Speaker 1: with it. How defunding cops that's idiocy and people die.
Speaker 1: We get really fuzzy don't we when it comes to
Speaker 1: deal with the racism in America that I in what way?
Speaker 1: What does Kamala Harris think we should do? We have
Speaker 1: affirmative action, do we need more affirmative action? That is
Speaker 1: that the plan? Because the answers the Democrats do believe that,
Speaker 1: by the way, as well as reparations and other things
Speaker 1: that are highly unpopular when they're actually put to the
Speaker 1: general American population. So what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 1: If we're going to talk about law enforcement, maybe we
Speaker 1: should be able to have honest discussions abou where law
Speaker 1: enforcement is failing and where the problem lies elsewhere, with
Speaker 1: community dysfunction, with the lack of intact families, with a
Speaker 1: lack of focus on education, with substance abuse. You can
Speaker 1: find this all across the country, and you can tie
Speaker 1: these things to criminality across all groups, across all you know,
Speaker 1: whether whatever ethnicity we're talking about, there are people who
Speaker 1: find themselves in desperate circumstances, who are in high crime neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: We should look at why is this happening and how
Speaker 1: do we fix it? Instead of just passing the blame
Speaker 1: to police. And I'm just going to say this, the
Speaker 1: idea that the intelli the intelligence community is ruined. And
Speaker 1: I used to work at the CIA. The CIA has
Speaker 1: become a joke. When I went to the CIA, we
Speaker 1: had an enemy al Qaeda and the jihadists, and we
Speaker 1: had a unified intelligence community in dealing with them. At least,
Speaker 1: I will say that now these places, it's basically like
Speaker 1: a federal jobs program for middling bureaucrats and the woke.
Speaker 1: The amount of LGBTQ plus indoctrination and transgender ideology courses
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that my friends who are still
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community have to deal with is mind blowing.
Speaker 1: I want them figuring out how to fine spies and
Speaker 1: kill terrorists, and they're sitting through classes on pronoun usage.
Speaker 1: I kid you not. So this whole invocation of the
Speaker 1: intelligence community, our intelligence community is a broken joke. And
Speaker 1: I know of what I speak, and I'm sorry for
Speaker 1: the good patriots who still work in it, but they
Speaker 1: know this is the truth as well. Could the stock
Speaker 1: market be on the verge of historic gains? Well, yes,

Speaker 1: who's a senior writer, an American greatness. Pedro always good
Speaker 1: to have you, Hey, Buck, gonna be here. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this, but the the wokeness, stupidity,
Speaker 1: the virtue signaling insanity in the last well forever, but
Speaker 1: certainly the last couple of days has gotten so out
Speaker 1: of control that even some liberals, even some leftists, can
Speaker 1: I can tell our feeling like this won't be that
Speaker 1: easy to defend. Before we get into some more substantive things.
Speaker 1: Did you see that Jeopardy contestants want a guy to
Speaker 1: apologize because he held up three fingers because he had
Speaker 1: won three times. This is where we are now. What
Speaker 1: is the esoteric meaning of three fingers? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've been following white supremacy. They said it was a
Speaker 1: white supremacist as a symbol. That that's what we're told, right,
Speaker 1: that's incredible. I mean, it's not incredible, but it's incredible.
Speaker 1: It's they're very creative, very they have very active imaginations. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I try not to follow this stuff. He
Speaker 1: held up. I mean, you see the New York Post.
Speaker 1: He actually held up to his chest three fingers because
Speaker 1: he had won three times. This guy, I mean, do
Speaker 1: you look at him. He looks like a you know,
Speaker 1: a guy who would have been working at like, you know,
Speaker 1: the the Genius Bar or something from like the late nineties,
Speaker 1: early two thousands. And he's a white supremacist now because
Speaker 1: he held up three fingers. That's what they're saying. That
Speaker 1: is incredible. I need to have a look at what
Speaker 1: the blue check barks are saying on Twitter because I
Speaker 1: would like to read the theory about this, because it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a like popcorn right, like reading
Speaker 1: about these like esoteric theories of what constitutes crypto white supremacy.
Speaker 1: And you're right, this poor guy was just having a
Speaker 1: great day one three times in a row, and now
Speaker 1: he is a white supremacist. Maybe the FBI is going
Speaker 1: to look into it. They're going to, like or maybe
Speaker 1: the post Office is going to check your social media
Speaker 1: posts see if there's anything going on here. There's a
Speaker 1: bigger you know, there's a bigger problem here though other
Speaker 1: than just the how the left, we know the left
Speaker 1: is insane. I mean, these people are completely nuts, and
Speaker 1: I'm really, I really believe that being a left wing
Speaker 1: Democrat today it indicates a degree of emotional and psychological instability.
Speaker 1: And I know if that sounds like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get a rise out of people, but I really think
Speaker 1: it's true. You know, the same way that that I
Speaker 1: would have I would have argued that being a Bolshevik
Speaker 1: in you know, the nineteen twenties, to be a real
Speaker 1: you know, died in the wool, real hardcore Bolshevik, would
Speaker 1: have meant that you probably were nuts. Um. But here's
Speaker 1: here's the problem. They do these things. The left does
Speaker 1: this stuff, Pedro. And I know you've written about some
Speaker 1: of the concerns of conservatism this week and what doesn't
Speaker 1: actually conserve. They do this and we either ignore it
Speaker 1: or outrage for a day, but they keep doing it
Speaker 1: and eventually they crack our hall. Eventually what was crazy
Speaker 1: a year or two ago, or even five years ago
Speaker 1: or whatever is being taught in schools. That's where we
Speaker 1: are as a society. Right, No, that's exactly right. There's
Speaker 1: this great study published recently by a guy named Richard
Speaker 1: Hanania in his sub stack, and the question he asks
Speaker 1: and tries to answer is why is everything liberal? And
Speaker 1: basically in a country that's evenly divided between people who
Speaker 1: are conservative and liberal will say roughly divided. It seems
Speaker 1: like everything is liberal everything as in the institutions like academia,
Speaker 1: the federal government, the courts. Why is you know, why
Speaker 1: isn't it kind of split roughly down the middle? Conservative
Speaker 1: loveer Well, he looks at a lot of data and
Speaker 1: basically the conclusion that it comes to is liberals care more.
Speaker 1: And we make fun of this because we make fun
Speaker 1: of this because, like you said, we kind of assist
Speaker 1: see it with a kind of mental illness in a
Speaker 1: very loose sense of the term. These people are kind
Speaker 1: of unstable and politics it's like a surrogate for all
Speaker 1: these different things that they don't have in their lives,
Speaker 1: which I mean, maybe that makes us feel good about ourselves.
Speaker 1: But they're eating our lunch because they care so much,
Speaker 1: because they're willing to to get out on the streets
Speaker 1: in March, and sure they have protection from like the
Speaker 1: local bureaucracies and local days and stuff like that, but
Speaker 1: still they care more, like they're willing to risk more,
Speaker 1: they're willing to be more engaged, they're willing to be
Speaker 1: militant about all these nutty things that they have in mind,
Speaker 1: and they win over time. They win and every whatever
Speaker 1: you look at like they take, they capture institutions simply
Speaker 1: because they care more. And I think that that is
Speaker 1: something that I think this kind of seems like a
Speaker 1: flaw that's built into conservatism, that we think that because
Speaker 1: we don't care as much, somehow we're like that put like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, we lost, but we lost with grace and grit,
Speaker 1: and so we're better than them. Although they're the ones
Speaker 1: that are now educating our children, they're the ones that
Speaker 1: are now instituting new codes of morality and speech and
Speaker 1: things like that. At least we have our our dignity,
Speaker 1: our principles, our principle. Yeah, our children, our children are
Speaker 1: being taught transgender ideology at the age of seven or
Speaker 1: eight now, but we have our principles on the right.
Speaker 1: Pedro's piece, and American greatness is conserving Conservatism is conserving defeat.
Speaker 1: To be conservative in America today is to preserve an
Speaker 1: order that has lost its legitimacy. And the right thing
Speaker 1: is not to conserve but destroy it and institute something else. Well,
Speaker 1: let's let's get into what does the something else look like.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure and I've actually been thinking about this
Speaker 1: a lot, because I think that that's actually the question
Speaker 1: that everyone asks. Okay, Pedro, you want to go full
Speaker 1: letting and you know, burn this thing down and been
Speaker 1: built something better. So let's start from first principles. And
Speaker 1: actually I've I've kind of come to the conclusion that
Speaker 1: I think, I think action, that you can derive principles
Speaker 1: from action. So what do I mean by that, Well,
Speaker 1: without thinking about first principles, like these abstract concepts like
Speaker 1: a quality or liberty or freedom whatever, here's what I want.
Speaker 1: A world in which I don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: my children being brainwashed into mutilating themselves into cass. Like
Speaker 1: I have a son, he's ten months old. I have
Speaker 1: black hair, I'm Hispanic, my wife is German. Both of
Speaker 1: us have immigrant backgrounds, and our son has blonde hair
Speaker 1: it's going to settle into I think it like a
Speaker 1: nice brown. And he has gray eyes that look like
Speaker 1: they're going to stay that color, and light skin. In
Speaker 1: other words, my Sonmak's white, and I am actually terrified
Speaker 1: that he's going to grow up in a world that's
Speaker 1: going to tell him that he's evil, and that that
Speaker 1: that if he you know, if he wants absolution, he
Speaker 1: should castrate himself spiritually or literally because he's a white
Speaker 1: male or he looks like a white male, and like this.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is actually a cop out. I
Speaker 1: really think that this is I think this is settling
Speaker 1: for good enough that the world that I want to
Speaker 1: build is one where that that thought it just doesn't
Speaker 1: occur to anyone, and in fact it's intolerable. Like the
Speaker 1: people that would want to do that to him, they
Speaker 1: just don't get to be in society. They don't get it.
Speaker 1: In other words, I'm for canceling the existing regime and
Speaker 1: all the people that hold it up and putting them
Speaker 1: kind of in the position where we are where they're
Speaker 1: kind of on the outside. Were speaking, we're speaking of
Speaker 1: Pedro Gonzalez. He's got a piece you should all check
Speaker 1: out out on an American Greatness amgreatness dot com. Conserving
Speaker 1: conservatism is conserving defeat Pedro. I don't I didn't want
Speaker 1: to interrupt your flow there. I know you've got more,
Speaker 1: I think, but you're you're illustrating what I think a
Speaker 1: lot of us on the right have felt for a while,
Speaker 1: and especially those of us who are willing to speak
Speaker 1: the truth about the good, the bad and the ugly
Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. What got done? What didn't you know?
Speaker 1: It was a lot of he fights, he fights, Okay,
Speaker 1: he fights the media. But look where we are now
Speaker 1: policy wise, and look what the movement has left, a
Speaker 1: unified Democrat government with you know, quasi senile Joe Biden
Speaker 1: as the puppet of the radical left. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Uh,
Speaker 1: Sometimes people don't mean that's because I heard that too.
Speaker 1: If you you know, we need this man because he fights.
Speaker 1: And this is a reference. Dulyssie says Grant. I think, um,
Speaker 1: which is like half true. Like you say, if we
Speaker 1: fight the wrong things, like we fight the media, we
Speaker 1: fight like fake news. Like basically it's like when we
Speaker 1: say fight, we're really just kind of talking about, like
Speaker 1: will we express our outrage. That's not fighting. That's that's again,
Speaker 1: that's like a controlled loss. And and I'll give one
Speaker 1: example of what I think conservatives. When I say conservatives,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the kind of the intellectual conservatives, the
Speaker 1: one that give people ideas or tell them how they
Speaker 1: should think. And you can find these people at like
Speaker 1: National Review. And there was an article in National Review
Speaker 1: that makes the argument that trans rights are actually a
Speaker 1: conservative issue, and so I criticize this in my piece
Speaker 1: saying like, look, I don't think anyone should be physically
Speaker 1: abused because they're you know, because whatever they're sexual identity
Speaker 1: or their their gender identity. Because I also associate transgenderism
Speaker 1: with actually actual mental illness, which was until recently accepted
Speaker 1: gender dysphoria. Right, So I don't think that you should
Speaker 1: be mean to these people. I think, in fact you should.
Speaker 1: You should be compassionate towards them and help them get
Speaker 1: the kind of psychiatric care they need, because suicide rates
Speaker 1: are really high among these people, right, so we should
Speaker 1: be compassionate towards them. Well, No, the conservative position and
Speaker 1: National Review is that we should fight for trans rights
Speaker 1: like what that and that is, in the view of
Speaker 1: the authors there, the way that we responsibly shepherd the
Speaker 1: country into a new order. I'm sorry, but an order
Speaker 1: in which it's normal for like miners to chemically or
Speaker 1: physically castrate themselves, that's not an order that's worth preserving.
Speaker 1: Like if that's what conservatism is standing for, responsible whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call this, Like, we'll it'll just be
Speaker 1: fiscally responsible, right, limited government, we'll do We'll do all
Speaker 1: this crazy stuff, but we'll do it with fiscal responsibility
Speaker 1: that's not worth preserving. And the bending of the knee
Speaker 1: pedro to corporations, the the almost maniacal fixation on tax cuts.
Speaker 1: The these are things that when we see what how
Speaker 1: they play out, and we've had a pretty good view
Speaker 1: of it in just the last four or five years,
Speaker 1: that the GOP will expend enormous energy in order to
Speaker 1: get tax cuts, including for corporations. Now that corporations turn around,
Speaker 1: just to give a sense of why this is such
Speaker 1: a problem and are really the the shock troops and
Speaker 1: in many ways more powerful in shaping public opinion and
Speaker 1: public discourse. I mean, I think it's obvious now given
Speaker 1: what the social media companies are doing. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: getting violations and restrictions and all kinds of things every
Speaker 1: day for what I do on social media. All I
Speaker 1: do is disagree with policy positions. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: actually breaking any laws or rule or rules of you know,
Speaker 1: normal discourse. But we it feels like the GOP needs
Speaker 1: a wake up call here. I mean, you describe in
Speaker 1: your pieces surrender across the board. Yeah. Yeah, And of
Speaker 1: course they'll say it's not it's not surrender. It's kind
Speaker 1: of but I mean it is, it is surrender. They're
Speaker 1: just they're just again they're losing with Grace and Grid.
Speaker 1: Like I think that the transgender sports issue, m here's
Speaker 1: a different way to think about it. Oftentimes, where publicans
Speaker 1: are saying is actually, there's nothing wrong with transgenderism. Um,
Speaker 1: we just want sports to be free of unfair biological competition.
Speaker 1: So it's like, no, no, we want the bread and circuses.
Speaker 1: We just want to keep it free and fair. And
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with this other issue of like the
Speaker 1: biological sexes and being eradicated. It's see, I hope you see.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that we fight the wrong battles here,
Speaker 1: and oftentimes we begin fighting by accepting a premise established
Speaker 1: by the left, like transgender rights are humanitarian rights and
Speaker 1: they're here to stay. And conservatives will start there, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're right, but please keep men out of women's soccer
Speaker 1: or something like that like that. That's how conservatives will
Speaker 1: tell you, no, no no, no, we're fighting. We're actually fighting.
Speaker 1: No you're not. You already actually lost, and now you're
Speaker 1: just kind of occupying this moderate position of shadowing democrats
Speaker 1: along the arc of history toward progress. I just always
Speaker 1: one step behind them. I want to come back here
Speaker 1: in a second with Pedro Gonzalez. He's a writer and
Speaker 1: American Greatness his Peace, which we're discussing right now. Conserving
Speaker 1: conservatism is conserving defeat. We'll be back with Pedro on
Speaker 1: one sec. We're back with our friend Pedro Gonzalez, senior
Speaker 1: writer at American Greatness and his Peace. Conserving conservatism is
Speaker 1: conserving defeat. Pedro, I want to just tell the audience
Speaker 1: of one of the lines or one of the parts
Speaker 1: of your piece here. Transgenderism is only the latest failure
Speaker 1: of conservatism and the GOP, which has surrendered, surrendered on
Speaker 1: everything including immigration, criminal justice, and reparations, even as it
Speaker 1: continues to welcome the influence of progressive corporations to their states,
Speaker 1: influence that in time will reduce red states to a
Speaker 1: shade of purple and then blue. Further conservative complaints that
Speaker 1: a new order can't be legislated, or that anyone to
Speaker 1: their right isn't against them so much as the times
Speaker 1: betray a poverty of vision. So here's my thing. This
Speaker 1: is very apparent that the right just doesn't really want
Speaker 1: to wield power. It always feels like when when the
Speaker 1: conservatives or people who are ostensibly on the right Republicans
Speaker 1: are in charge, it's well, well, let's not you know,
Speaker 1: let's not go let's not go too far with what
Speaker 1: we actually want to do here, and said we were
Speaker 1: going to do before we had power. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: And the example that I use is today, there's a
Speaker 1: recent study that showed that one in six adults born
Speaker 1: between nineteen ninety seven and two thousand and two identify
Speaker 1: as something other than heterosexual. And the point I make
Speaker 1: is that that's not organic. People that that cohort did
Speaker 1: not just suddenly decide that one and six of them
Speaker 1: were like non binary or like, you know, like they
Speaker 1: didn't develop these weird gender identities just out of thin air.
Speaker 1: This is the result of the tenacity and the sheer
Speaker 1: force of will of the left to impose this view
Speaker 1: on people through media, through academia, through legislation like they
Speaker 1: made they willed this to happen. In other words, the
Speaker 1: left has done and they have done the thing and
Speaker 1: they continue to do the thing that conservatives says you
Speaker 1: can't do. Either you can't do or it's like wrong
Speaker 1: to do. And the left is doing it all the time.
Speaker 1: Like if if you think that this happened organically, you're nuts.
Speaker 1: It didn't like this, this is the product of left
Speaker 1: wing tenacity. Well, I mean, one example of this I
Speaker 1: would note for everyone is is that when there was
Speaker 1: a completely standard in terms of its publication process and
Speaker 1: peer review peer review, people say it sounds like it's
Speaker 1: fancier than it is. It usually just means a bunch
Speaker 1: of left wing automatons and academia are rubber stamping whatever.
Speaker 1: You know. It's not like peer review is a guarantee
Speaker 1: of anything. But it went through the normal process. It
Speaker 1: was at Brown University, which is the most left wing
Speaker 1: lunatic institution really in the country in some ways, I mean,
Speaker 1: one of them. And it was about the enormous obvious
Speaker 1: data that shows that transgenderism it is contagious in a
Speaker 1: sense ideologically speaking among children, that when one child comes
Speaker 1: out and is transgender, there's a you know, one thousand
Speaker 1: percent spike in the chances of there being other children
Speaker 1: who are transgender. They pulled you can't even find that
Speaker 1: article anymore. They've pulled it off the internet, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And this is case in point. The left does everything
Speaker 1: that that conservatives say you can't do because it's impossible
Speaker 1: or because it's it's somehow like unethical. Uh. My view
Speaker 1: is like, well, you're you're losing, so what right do
Speaker 1: you actually have to say that? I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: basically how I talk to conservatives who will say, hold on,
Speaker 1: like you're being a little bit too like leninistic or something.
Speaker 1: It's my position is like, I'm sorry, what have you conserved?
Speaker 1: What have you actually preserved in this country? Like you've
Speaker 1: lost on everything? On immigration? Who did the nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: six Immigration and Reforming Control Act, the one that resulted
Speaker 1: in the massive amnesty and actually incentivized immigration. Because of
Speaker 1: how catastrophically right that was the Reagan administration. I've told
Speaker 1: everybody about this. Reagan got totally swindled on immigrant keep
Speaker 1: going right, and on criminal justice reform, which administration fundamentally
Speaker 1: changed our federal criminal immigration system, criminal immigration system, our
Speaker 1: federal prison system to allow like the worst kinds of
Speaker 1: felons to get out of prison early. It was the
Speaker 1: Trump administration and right now, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: watched the Biden's Congressional address and Tim Scot's red ball
Speaker 1: to it, but noticeably, in Tim Scott's rebuttle, there was
Speaker 1: exactly one short passing sentence but immigration, and it was
Speaker 1: totally insubstantial. And I don't think that's a coincidence because
Speaker 1: right now you've got Republicans like Cornin who were in
Speaker 1: talks with Democrats about securing an amnesty deal, and you've
Speaker 1: got George W. Bush calling for the party to do
Speaker 1: the same. Like Republicans lose on everything, and the conservative
Speaker 1: movement defends their loss as somehow like, you know, the
Speaker 1: principal position, we gotta have you, We gotta have you
Speaker 1: back to talk about what the what the fight back
Speaker 1: looks like. Yeah, so let's let's plan for that sometime
Speaker 1: in the days ahead. Pedro Gonzalez. Everybody at American Greatness
Speaker 1: go to aam greatness dot com reads peace conserving Conservatism
Speaker 1: is conserving defeat. Pedro, talk to you again soon, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Going to get into the raid
Speaker 1: on rue Giuliani's home and office here in just a second.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing the way the deep state goes
Speaker 1: after people. You can never be too prepared for it,
Speaker 1: you know, and you've got to prepare in your own
Speaker 1: ways too. I mean, maybe the deep state doesn't come
Speaker 1: for you. But life is uncertain and you want to
Speaker 1: make sure that you and your family have a plan.
Speaker 1: You're buying a home, having babies, building wealth. These days,

Speaker 1: and Will dot Com slash buck. And the reality is
Speaker 1: that that warrant is completely illegal. The only way you
Speaker 1: can get a search war is if you can show
Speaker 1: that there's some evidence that the person is going to
Speaker 1: destroy the evidence or is going to run away with
Speaker 1: the evidence. Well, I've had it for two years and
Speaker 1: I haven't destroyed it. And they also got it from
Speaker 1: the eye cloud, so there was no there was no
Speaker 1: justification for that warrant. It is an illegal, unconstitutional warrant,
Speaker 1: one of many that this Department of Injustice tragically has done.
Speaker 1: And it breaks my heart because I belonged to the
Speaker 1: Justice Department, and I think I had a record It's
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot better than theirs. Rudy Juliani
Speaker 1: here telling everybody last night on Tucker's Show what he
Speaker 1: really thinks was going on when they raided. They had
Speaker 1: federal agents raid his home and his office and take
Speaker 1: all of his electronics. The left is ruthless. I keep
Speaker 1: telling you that, and I know it maybe sounds to
Speaker 1: people like that's it's political goal or it's just a
Speaker 1: my team they're a team thing. No, I'm serious. The
Speaker 1: left is ruthless. Absolutely. They will do things that our
Speaker 1: side politically will refrain from doing, will balk at it
Speaker 1: doesn't want a part of because they are just more
Speaker 1: dedicated to winning than we are. They don't care about principles,
Speaker 1: they don't care about fair play or at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you know when they're when they're closing
Speaker 1: their eyes to go to sleep at night, it's not
Speaker 1: did I cheat to get what my side wants? It's
Speaker 1: did I get what I want? Nothing else matters. And
Speaker 1: going after Rudy Giuliani in this way, think about it, friends,
Speaker 1: for a fairer violation. That's really what we're talking about here,
Speaker 1: a Foreign Agent Registration Act violation. This is a barely enforced,
Speaker 1: generally unserious his statute that usually results in a fine
Speaker 1: and everyone knows it goes. But see, this is the problem.
Speaker 1: I always say, you can't leave laws open that are
Speaker 1: subject to interpretation, and that are so subject as this is,
Speaker 1: to politicization. You just you can't do it because the
Speaker 1: left will use it as a weapon. The left will
Speaker 1: use the laws as a tool to get what they
Speaker 1: want and to crush the people who try to stand
Speaker 1: in their way. You might say, buck, Rudy Giuliani's a fighter.
Speaker 1: He's he's an a dept lawyer. He was the US
Speaker 1: attorney he took on the mob. I've had dinner with Rudy.
Speaker 1: I've heard him tell the stories about you know, going
Speaker 1: after you know, Jimmy two toes and Frankie lunch meets
Speaker 1: and you know whoever, right, I've I've heard him telling
Speaker 1: me this stuff. And he was America's mayor, and you
Speaker 1: know he was there on nine to eleven after the
Speaker 1: towers fell and directing the emergency response. Guy was a
Speaker 1: presidential candidate. Counselor to the lawyer, he can handle this, right.
Speaker 1: Even if he can, the message is still sent. How
Speaker 1: many other young, ambitious lawyers, people in private, private business
Speaker 1: all across the country, whether it's you know, finance or
Speaker 1: running a corporation. How many of them do you think?
Speaker 1: See what the Democrats are willing to do to a
Speaker 1: rudy Giuliana. You see the fact that he is formidable
Speaker 1: and can fight back, and has name recognition and has connections.
Speaker 1: That all is part of the messaging. It's will do this,
Speaker 1: will hound and humiliate this guy. What do you think
Speaker 1: we'd do to you? That's part of the messaging that
Speaker 1: you have to remember. The process is the punishment. They
Speaker 1: go into his home, they go into his office, they
Speaker 1: seize his stuff, and then they didn't even need to,
Speaker 1: as he points out, they've already gotten everything from the cloud.
Speaker 1: They're doing this over a Farrah registration. This is not
Speaker 1: far from if all of a sudden there were IRS
Speaker 1: audits and FBI agents, you know, busting into people's homes
Speaker 1: to get all their tax forms, you know, gott to
Speaker 1: pile up the W two's and the ten ninety nine.
Speaker 1: And it just so happened that they're major critics of
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Oh wow, why are some of Biden's
Speaker 1: most implacable critics all of a sudden getting audited. You know,
Speaker 1: this happened with Bill Clinton. This was a tactic. The
Speaker 1: Democrats have done this kind of thing for a long time.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden the irs is really going after people,
Speaker 1: or if you're Danish TSUSA, the Southern District of New
Speaker 1: York isn't just going to let you pay a fine
Speaker 1: and say, hey, don't write another check that you shouldn't
Speaker 1: write to a political campaign that lost by you forty
Speaker 1: points anyway or thirty points or whatever it was, don't
Speaker 1: do that. No, they wanted to lock him up as
Speaker 1: a felon in prison for a couple of years. That's
Speaker 1: how they play the game. They send a message. You think,
Speaker 1: I see what happens to someone like a Denise to
Speaker 1: SUSA that doesn't get processed in my brain is oh wow.
Speaker 1: As I continue to build my influence, as I continue
Speaker 1: to be able to reach people all across the country
Speaker 1: and have millions of listeners and readers and viewers, whether
Speaker 1: I'm on Fox or radio or The First or podcast
Speaker 1: or whatever, I don't have to think about what they
Speaker 1: did to Denise. They would do to me too. Of course,
Speaker 1: they would for the most minor violation, for the most
Speaker 1: you know, extreme and draconian interpretation possible. They will come
Speaker 1: after me, and I know they will, and so I
Speaker 1: have to be very aware of it. They go after
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani. You say, well, I'm I'm just a private citizen.
Speaker 1: No such thing. When the Democrat authoritarians have their way,
Speaker 1: you do what they say, or else they will come
Speaker 1: after you. Oh, I know what they're saying now. Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: he didn't know about this. Joe Biden, he didn't know. Sure,
Speaker 1: sure he didn't. Here he's talking to MSNBC, and here's
Speaker 1: what he says. Play fourteen. Are you aware of that
Speaker 1: reign before it happened? I give him my word, I
Speaker 1: was not. I made a pledge I would not interfere
Speaker 1: in any way order or try to stop any investigation
Speaker 1: the Justice Department had in a way. I learned about
Speaker 1: that last night when the rest of the world learned
Speaker 1: about it. My word, I had no idea this was underway.
Speaker 1: Have you been briefed on any other investigations involving and
Speaker 1: I'm not asking to be brief. I'm not asking to brief.
Speaker 1: That's the Justice Department's independent judgment. This last administration politicized
Speaker 1: the Justice parton so badly, so many of them quit,
Speaker 1: So many left because that's not the role as not
Speaker 1: the role of the president to say who should be prosecuted.
Speaker 1: When they should be prosecuted who should be not prosecuted.
Speaker 1: That's not the role of the president. The Justice Department
Speaker 1: is the people's lawyer, not the president's lawyer. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so much here that it's hard to process all
Speaker 1: the bullcrap that Biden is tossing out there. Let's let's
Speaker 1: take this in reverse order from what he says. A
Speaker 1: few things. First of all, the notion here that Trump
Speaker 1: politicized the DOJ. There was a special counsel and an
Speaker 1: entirely fraudulent BS Russia collusion investigation for almost all of
Speaker 1: Trump's first term, spurred on by DOJ deep state democrat hacks.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about politicizing the department? Is this
Speaker 1: guy out of his mind? Well, actually, yes, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is kind of out of his mind. That's that's true.
Speaker 1: You know, they lie about this constantly. They one of
Speaker 1: the favorite tactics of the status authoritarian democrats. And you
Speaker 1: must always remember this. One of the favorite tactics they
Speaker 1: have is to accuse the other side of what they
Speaker 1: themselves are doing. That is right out of the the
Speaker 1: center of the playbook, to accuse others of what they
Speaker 1: themselves do. But as for whether I believe Biden was
Speaker 1: aware of the raid in advance. I know that he
Speaker 1: would lie about this, so don't don't get me wrong
Speaker 1: on that one. I'm not sure he was aware because
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who's really running the country right now,
Speaker 1: who's really running the Democrat Party. It's not Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's an idiot. We all know it. He can
Speaker 1: trust the Obama apparatus around him, and the various Democrats
Speaker 1: who are holdovers from the eight years of Obamaism, and
Speaker 1: the deep state authoritarians that are civil servants at the
Speaker 1: senior levels of places like the DOJ. They do the
Speaker 1: dirty work for him, right, So it's not does the
Speaker 1: puppet have to know what the move against Rudy Giuliani is. No,
Speaker 1: the puppet masters will take care of it. That was
Speaker 1: not surprising that Biden perhaps did not know. It's not
Speaker 1: surprising that he might have been kept in the dark
Speaker 1: about this, because he's kept in the dark about a
Speaker 1: lot of things. It's amazing this guy still goes out there,
Speaker 1: shuffles around, looks for his mask and everything else. It's
Speaker 1: really you know, it's like the low IQ crypt keepers
Speaker 1: running the country. It's just madness. It's just insane. I
Speaker 1: used to struggle with imposter syndrome, but at thirty six,
Speaker 1: I refuse to internalize misguided, patriarchal ideas of what a
Speaker 1: woman can or should be. I am tired of feeling
Speaker 1: like I'm supposed to apologize for the space I occupy
Speaker 1: rather than intoxicate people with my effort, my brilliance. I
Speaker 1: am proud of me, full stop. My parents left everything
Speaker 1: they knew and loved to expose me to opportunities they
Speaker 1: never had Because of them, I stand here today a
Speaker 1: proud first generation latina An officer at CIA. I mean, folks,
Speaker 1: I know you probably thought that that was going to
Speaker 1: result in someone saying, oh, you know, I work at
Speaker 1: Woke Inc. Or I work at you know, the admissions
Speaker 1: committee of Brown University or Wesleyan or something. You know.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's think about this. What that was a
Speaker 1: CIA official CIA PSA that's not been circulating on the internet.
Speaker 1: What does any of that have to do with anything?
Speaker 1: What suffering from imposter syndrome? I mean, what is this
Speaker 1: some kind of CIA therapy session? Like? What is this?
Speaker 1: But I could see it even in my time. They're
Speaker 1: just across the federal government more broadly, I could see it.
Speaker 1: You know, you have the mentality of most people who
Speaker 1: go into bureaucracy is they want to be told what
Speaker 1: to do. They want to be a part of the collective.
Speaker 1: They want to be a cog in the machine, the
Speaker 1: much bigger machinery all around them. They want to work
Speaker 1: at a very you know, self styled pace. They don't
Speaker 1: want to be held accountable. I mean, the only thing
Speaker 1: that bureaucrats hate more accountability is hard work. And you
Speaker 1: just see the way these institutions, I mean, the CIA
Speaker 1: should have first of all, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: gotten in a way to out there now as the
Speaker 1: whole intelligence community really is guilty of this. But they're all,
Speaker 1: you know, out there and and everybody, all the former
Speaker 1: heads of these institutions all want to go out now
Speaker 1: and be celebrities. Most of them are boring. People think, oh,
Speaker 1: you were the deputy director of the CIA or something,
Speaker 1: or the you know, the director CIA, you must be
Speaker 1: really brilliant. No, they're they're they're often you know, just jokers,
Speaker 1: people that manage to maneuver. And a lot of them
Speaker 1: are lawyers that knew somebody in the White House, the
Speaker 1: administration and they've just been processing process for a very
Speaker 1: long time. So I'm just trying to tell you the
Speaker 1: intelligence community. You know, we spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: on the on the right talking about the infiltration of
Speaker 1: really progressive brainwashing ideology into the military. It's going on
Speaker 1: at the CIA and these other players, you know, CIA, DA, NSA, NCTC,
Speaker 1: you know, the n GA. I think they might have
Speaker 1: even renamed that. I can't even keep up with all
Speaker 1: of them. Now, there's all these different agencies, you know,
Speaker 1: this is what you see. I mean, the State Department's
Speaker 1: got a bunch of commies in it, so you can
Speaker 1: assume that that's already true, that's been true for a
Speaker 1: long time. But you go down the list, these are
Speaker 1: our intelligence agencies, and this woke you know, feel good,
Speaker 1: you know, diversity, multiculturalism, obsession is all throughout them. And
Speaker 1: I see her and think, I just want the CIA,
Speaker 1: and I want the intelligence community to keep us safe
Speaker 1: but also give us an advantage over our enemies and
Speaker 1: our competitors. That's what I want. I mean, I want
Speaker 1: the intelligence community to have a mission and to be
Speaker 1: steely eyed in its pursuit and to know exactly what
Speaker 1: it's doing why it's doing it, And it has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with, you know, teaching everybody that there should
Speaker 1: be thirty seven pronouns. You know, it has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with with pushing diversity, multiculturalism and all this other stuff. Buddy. See,
Speaker 1: it started on the campuses, and then it migrated and
Speaker 1: it got into you know, started on the campuses in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and it was all throughout academia, and then it was
Speaker 1: in corporations and at the very top reaches of the
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy. And it has metastasized wokeness as metastasize. You know,
Speaker 1: there's this company called base Camp that has put out
Speaker 1: a statement. They do software. They do some kind of
Speaker 1: computer software. It doesn't even really matter, and they put
Speaker 1: out a statement essentially saying, we make software. This is
Speaker 1: not a political company. I don't care about your politics.
Speaker 1: I don't want you talking about your politics on company time.
Speaker 1: We're not taking public stances on political issues. We make software.
Speaker 1: Do that really well, be a professional. Now. I love
Speaker 1: this ethos and I think this is the way we
Speaker 1: can actually get back to a more normal day to
Speaker 1: day America. I think this is a way you can
Speaker 1: you can push back on the cancelation frenzy that's been
Speaker 1: going on now for years. But I also know this company,
Speaker 1: base Camp. It's it's based in California. Oh man, They're
Speaker 1: gonna come after them with everything they've got. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to. Uh, you know the way that they went
Speaker 1: into Rue Giuliani's home and did the raid to send
Speaker 1: a message. You know that, By the way, that's the
Speaker 1: Biden administration's version of you know, wrapping a dead fish
Speaker 1: in a newspaper and leaving it at Giuliani's front door,
Speaker 1: you know this, or putting a putting a severed horse
Speaker 1: head in somebody's bed. This is That's what the that's
Speaker 1: the thuggishness of the Biden administration. You're gonna see. You're
Speaker 1: gonna see this base Camp company come under a withering
Speaker 1: assault from the wokemaniacs. I mean, you're going to see
Speaker 1: this Biden administration. I'm sorry, You're You're gonna see this
Speaker 1: base Camp company rather just completely surround by the lunatic left.
Speaker 1: I mean, I almost I want to bring up how
Speaker 1: good I think this ethos is they're trying to spread,
Speaker 1: But I also don't want to get them in trouble,
Speaker 1: you know, So it's a but then with the other
Speaker 1: side of it, we need to come to their aid.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know if I could use
Speaker 1: their software, but I feel like I might have to
Speaker 1: go buy some. This is why I always tell you
Speaker 1: all the sponsors. You hear on this program. You you
Speaker 1: asked me, what can I do to help conservatism? It's
Speaker 1: not just me and this show, which it certainly is.
Speaker 1: By going to our sponsors, you vote with your dollars
Speaker 1: to keep this show on the air, But it's also
Speaker 1: those companies because their affiliation with a conservative talk radio
Speaker 1: show and podcast shows that they at least stand with
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, if not with conservative values. So you
Speaker 1: want to take action. Support the companies that I tell
Speaker 1: you about on this show, support our sponsors, and I
Speaker 1: mean no apologies for being as explicit about that as
Speaker 1: I am. That's a way that all of you can
Speaker 1: help today. Right now, I am getting so frustrated with
Speaker 1: all the ways that I'm being shut down and shut
Speaker 1: out from social media just for being a conservative. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, this is going on all the time. The
Speaker 1: left wants to silence and remove any voices they don't
Speaker 1: agree with. I mean, Twitter and Facebook are supposed to
Speaker 1: be open platforms. That's a joke. They're coming after conservatives
Speaker 1: all the time. So instead of letting social media continue

Speaker 1: have you. Good to talk to you, Buck Sex. So
Speaker 1: you got a piece and plan to end police shooting
Speaker 1: speed before you tell us what some of the aspects
Speaker 1: of your plan are. It is truly remarkable that I
Speaker 1: keep telling people and whether it's on radio or on
Speaker 1: social media, the United States had a nationwide increase last
Speaker 1: year of thirty seven percent when it comes to homicides,
Speaker 1: which is mind blowing. I mean, it is priests in
Speaker 1: murder well since they've been giving records at least fifty years.
Speaker 1: And this is not a statistic that's on the tip
Speaker 1: of everyone's tongue. I mean, and we had we had
Speaker 1: Biden in the speech this week talking about police reform.
Speaker 1: I want to be like, has everyone lost their minds? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So the Democrats this is this is always UM one
Speaker 1: of their one of their desired outcomes. In addition to
Speaker 1: transfer and control of everything to the federal government, the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is is UM staunchly pro criminal UM. As
Speaker 1: I described in mugs taking mostly in New York City.
Speaker 1: UM through the era of the last time, all these
Speaker 1: exact same policies were tried the sixties and the seventies,
Speaker 1: um the eighties until the blessed Sainted Juliani came in
Speaker 1: and suddenly murder started to go down dramatically, dramatically, dramatically,
Speaker 1: to the point that I think by the end of
Speaker 1: Bloomberg there were like three hundred murders per year. It
Speaker 1: was something astonishing like that when it had been in
Speaker 1: the thousands. In fact, I knew very well Biden's chief
Speaker 1: crime guy on the Judicial Senate Judiciary Committee when I
Speaker 1: worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee in the I guess
Speaker 1: early two thousands, and he admitted to me he did
Speaker 1: in crime policy that it was at least a quarter.
Speaker 1: It may have been a third, but let's say a
Speaker 1: quarter of the decline in murder across the nation came
Speaker 1: exclusively from New York City. It went from around twenty
Speaker 1: two hundred and to about three hundred. Yeah. Yeah, with
Speaker 1: Bloomberg continuing, Juliani's policies principally, camp Stat certainly got guns
Speaker 1: off the streets. I mean the low level I'm enforcement.
Speaker 1: The beauty part of that is not just what I
Speaker 1: think is most famous about at the broken windows policy,
Speaker 1: when people see disorder around them and people you know,
Speaker 1: crapping on the sidewalks, unbroken windows. They feel like this
Speaker 1: is a wall of zone and what the heck, I'll
Speaker 1: just mug this little old lady. So violent crime tends
Speaker 1: to tends to increase with um not enforcing quality of
Speaker 1: life crimes. Um. Yeah, sure that is absolutely true. But
Speaker 1: the other the other big advantage of enforcing say, turnstyle
Speaker 1: jumpers or crapping on the street, UM is that um,
Speaker 1: young young possible criminals who might have gone out with
Speaker 1: a gun that night will say, m I think I
Speaker 1: won't bring my gun because I could be turnstyle jumping.
Speaker 1: I'll get nabbed and then I'm gonna lose my gun.
Speaker 1: And so the quality of life crime enforcement vastly reduced
Speaker 1: guns from the street. You know, liberals pretend to care
Speaker 1: about guns. Guns. You want to get guns off the street,
Speaker 1: start start prosecuting spitting on the sidewalk and crapping on
Speaker 1: the sidewalk and jumping turnstile. No, I've I've predicted in
Speaker 1: in muggs that as soon as Democrats got controls the
Speaker 1: levers again, it's like you know, a husband and wife
Speaker 1: fighting over the temperature. As soon as you look away,
Speaker 1: sud believe our conditioning comes on same thing with the
Speaker 1: Democrats and crime. You look away, they get control. We're
Speaker 1: throwing criminals out of prison, out of jail. I mean,
Speaker 1: we talked about at the beginning of COVID, what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just emblematic, it's it's not It actually is kind
Speaker 1: of a big thing, releasing prisoners from jail because of COVID.
Speaker 1: As they're telling the rest of us to turn our
Speaker 1: homes into our jails. Don't leave home, don't leave home,
Speaker 1: don't leave home. Oh but criminals, gosh, the last thing
Speaker 1: we want to do is keep them quarantine. And some
Speaker 1: of them did end up. There were a number who
Speaker 1: went out and committed serious crimes and attacks people. By
Speaker 1: the way, just just in New York a loan that happened,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it happened other places across the country.
Speaker 1: But to that end, and we're speaking to Ant, call
Speaker 1: with everybody. Go to her latest Read her latest column
Speaker 1: at acolter dot com on Ant's plan to end police shootings,
Speaker 1: which involves obeying police commands, not resisting arrest. Things like that.
Speaker 1: I will I will second the notion that these are
Speaker 1: good ideas to do when you're dealing with law enforcement.
Speaker 1: But and this is across the country. You know, New
Speaker 1: York is the biggest city and the one that has
Speaker 1: you know that the numbers, as you pointed out, had
Speaker 1: the steepest decline in murders. And it's just mind blowing
Speaker 1: still what was able to happen here over the course
Speaker 1: of about ten to fifteen years. But I was just
Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas recently, and I met with a friend
Speaker 1: there who's on the city council, and she said, the
Speaker 1: people here are coming. This is in Texas. They're completely nuts.
Speaker 1: They defunded police one hundred and fifty million dollars. Guess
Speaker 1: what the murder rate doubled. There are people all the
Speaker 1: you know human uh you know, refuse stuff going on
Speaker 1: in the streets all over the place. People you know,
Speaker 1: relieving themselves outside. They have more. So it's remember, murders
Speaker 1: are just the statistic. It's hardest for them to hide
Speaker 1: and scare people. But there's always everything that's the that's
Speaker 1: what's above the water. Then there's all this stuff, the arrest,
Speaker 1: the iceberg below and and this is played out now
Speaker 1: in Chicago, Saint Louis Atlanta, Portland, Seattle. And and how
Speaker 1: is the Democrats don't pay a price for this? How
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden in charge? Well, Trump didn't make it
Speaker 1: easy to vote for him. Um, we have to be
Speaker 1: we have to be clear eyed about whose fault the
Speaker 1: presidential election was. I was furious when he was trying
Speaker 1: to cave in the early days. I said, where is Trump?
Speaker 1: Where this was in June, after the night of the
Speaker 1: Purge here in New York. And you were spot on
Speaker 1: on this one, I remember, and I was telling everybody
Speaker 1: criminal justice reform. Now now we get to hear about
Speaker 1: Jared's criminal justice reform. So you know, he has a
Speaker 1: few more people being nice to him at the half
Speaker 1: million dollars a year Entry Country Club. Give me a break, right,
Speaker 1: And as we're finding out now is what is sending
Speaker 1: the Democrats ratings the lowest is their fixation on race
Speaker 1: and phrasing everything in terms of race. And there have
Speaker 1: been a number of surveys and studies. Whatever the policy is,
Speaker 1: their decision is, well, we're going to pitch this in
Speaker 1: terms of you know how it it pursues racial justice.
Speaker 1: It's about race that is driving the Democrats ratings and
Speaker 1: public approval into the dirt. So I think it was
Speaker 1: a fantastic idea for a conservative network to keep attacking
Speaker 1: Joe Biden for supporting busting or rather opposing busting. Opposing busting,
Speaker 1: that was what Kamala you will recall, attacked him for it.
Speaker 1: I think it was the first debate, and then after
Speaker 1: the debate she admits she opposed the policy too. Why
Speaker 1: because busting was hated by everyone, black people, white people, everyone,
Speaker 1: everyone hated it. And that's going to be that's going
Speaker 1: to be conservative media's big attack on Joe bidenhing. There
Speaker 1: was also the attack on Biden for the crime Bill
Speaker 1: which was now which was not smart given what was
Speaker 1: going on to the Commember Biden. I mean that is
Speaker 1: worthy of attack that I went to Washington not long
Speaker 1: after that. But the attack is it was an utterly
Speaker 1: useless bill that just funded a bunch of social service
Speaker 1: workers and um, you know the violence against women Acts,
Speaker 1: which my law firm got declared unconstitutional because it was
Speaker 1: um magnificent ruling. There are plenty of reasons for and
Speaker 1: a way to attack him. Um, But I know, I
Speaker 1: do not think this will play out well for the Democrats.
Speaker 1: I sort of don't want to be saying it on radio,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to give the game away. But no,
Speaker 1: people don't like crime. The media are doing their damn
Speaker 1: just to hide it. But you can't hide crime. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had last year the highest rate of murders that
Speaker 1: the country's seen in over twenty years. Which it's these
Speaker 1: are This isn't you know a little bit around the
Speaker 1: edges of something. This is a sea change. We're speaking
Speaker 1: to an Coulter. Everybody go to Ank Coulter dot com.
Speaker 1: Take a while to catch them all again. I mean
Speaker 1: part of what helps not to give you know, Bloomberg
Speaker 1: his due for pursuing the Giuliani crime policies. And I
Speaker 1: hope Andrew Yang is paying attention to this or whoever
Speaker 1: becomes the next mayorum. By the way, the election, m
Speaker 1: when is it. It's like June twenty second or something.
Speaker 1: It's coming up. It's coming up fast. Make sure you
Speaker 1: got listeners know. I don't want another twelve percent of
Speaker 1: New York City voting in the mayoral well Democratic primary
Speaker 1: are the only one that matters, and then ending up
Speaker 1: with some boob that's going to you know, turn New
Speaker 1: York City inte. I hate when people say he has
Speaker 1: to be better than Deblasio. False. Actually Deblasio is awful,
Speaker 1: but it could be worse. There's always worse, Bluli False.
Speaker 1: You know that some of the lunatic socialists that are
Speaker 1: running around now in the city counciled other places. I mean,
Speaker 1: it could definitely, it could definitely be worse. I mean,
Speaker 1: but what I was starting to say is, and again
Speaker 1: not to take anything away from Bloomberg, each year it
Speaker 1: gets better and better, just as under someone like the
Speaker 1: blosgo under. I'm sorry, but m Ed Koch and then
Speaker 1: Dingan's it gets worse and worse each year because because
Speaker 1: you know, the criminals you caught last year are still
Speaker 1: in prison. Yay, they're off the street. It's gonna take
Speaker 1: now that de Blasigo has released them all, it's gonna
Speaker 1: take a while to catch them all again. And what
Speaker 1: is it that what is it going to take for
Speaker 1: people to also realize that the border you know, I
Speaker 1: was just down there and we have all the border
Speaker 1: patrol by the way, they everyone agrees with your assessment
Speaker 1: that the number. They actually laugh when people say many
Speaker 1: members of boarder patrol I spoke to. Yeah, they said,
Speaker 1: I've been here for twenty years. They'd say it's been
Speaker 1: eleven million illegal immigrants for twenty years. Meanwhile, we're catching
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand a month. Okay, yeah, someone
Speaker 1: explained that math. But but beyond that, you know, we
Speaker 1: had another number that doesn't get enough attention, over eighty
Speaker 1: thousand overdoses the United States last year. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know it was a pandemic year, and that's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why I so opposed to lockdowns, because
Speaker 1: it was going to exacerbate this. But those drugs are
Speaker 1: all coming through the seams left in our southern border.
Speaker 1: People are dying of overdoses in New York and New
Speaker 1: Jersey and Ohio and Michigan and wherever because of the
Speaker 1: drug mules coming across the southern border. Because our border
Speaker 1: patrol is giving everybody diapers in formula and trying to
Speaker 1: process them and put them on buses and planes to
Speaker 1: their family members who are also illegal, that's what's going on. Well,
Speaker 1: one other reason for that is America got together and
Speaker 1: voted to put a completely preposterous human being in the
Speaker 1: presidency on the basis of a promise made at every
Speaker 1: single rally for eighteen months that he would build a wall,
Speaker 1: and we did not get a wall. The American people
Speaker 1: are smarter than politicians. There are a few things, and
Speaker 1: very few as as strongly expressed as the public's position
Speaker 1: on a wide open border. They have been begging for
Speaker 1: a wall for forty years, and the politicians campaign on
Speaker 1: it and oh, no, we have something better than a wall.
Speaker 1: We'll put drones down. They vote for it, and then
Speaker 1: they don't fund it, and then it doesn't get built.
Speaker 1: They will not give us a wall. Trump wouldn't give
Speaker 1: us a wall. That's why he lost the election, in
Speaker 1: addition to many other betrayals, but that, of course was
Speaker 1: the biggest one. There was nothing more associated with his campaign.
Speaker 1: There's a reason we wanted a wall. You don't have
Speaker 1: to pay unemployment, you don't have to worry about border
Speaker 1: Asians getting killed, you don't have to worry about them
Speaker 1: getting in fights and lawsuits. A wall just sits there
Speaker 1: day and night, and Americans get to decide who comes
Speaker 1: in and who doesn't come in, and let drugs come in,
Speaker 1: and and what dread diseases come in. As Trump said accurately,
Speaker 1: I mean the one thing is probably going to learn
Speaker 1: from him. The one thing is this is these are
Speaker 1: popular issues, run on them. But then this is what
Speaker 1: will be different than the Trump don't betray your voters.
Speaker 1: Got to tell you that though the drone issue. The
Speaker 1: drone issue came up when I was talking to border
Speaker 1: patrol and they said there was all this stuff about
Speaker 1: the predator drones at the border, and everyone thought this
Speaker 1: was They said the footage was being uploaded a day later.
Speaker 1: So basically, these guys they're not actually controlling it at
Speaker 1: the border. They weren't actually getting real time updates, and
Speaker 1: so a day later they'd find out, oh, that's where
Speaker 1: they ran the drugs through. Not exactly, not exactly, a
Speaker 1: highly highly effective system, just you know, working. What's the point,
Speaker 1: I mean, unless we're gonna drop bombs on them, and
Speaker 1: I'm not recommending that. I don't think anyone else is. UM.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch them breaking the wall, whether
Speaker 1: it's in meal time or even more absurdly, as you say,
Speaker 1: twenty four hours later. Um, what they're going to keep
Speaker 1: rushing back in the rush to this part of the border,
Speaker 1: rush to this part of the board. No build the wall,
Speaker 1: and you know, all respect they're my favorite, probably will
Speaker 1: other than policeman and my favorite law enforcement officers, but
Speaker 1: the border guards. But they're not they're not, you know,
Speaker 1: experts on how to keep people out. A wall does
Speaker 1: make many of their jobs obsolete. So just keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. And could everybody go to adculter dot com
Speaker 1: for her latest column and always a pleasure, great to
Speaker 1: have you, good to talk to you about sex and
Speaker 1: blah blah. I was disappointed that he said America is
Speaker 1: not a racist country without also talking about the systemic
Speaker 1: racism that is plaguing this country. I mean, why was
Speaker 1: he chosen to give this rebuttal? He was chosen because
Speaker 1: he is the only black Republican senator. He is that person.
Speaker 1: He is the person that Republicans want to put out
Speaker 1: front because of the problem of racism in this country.
Speaker 1: And he knows that. And so I was sort of
Speaker 1: disappointed that he was used in this way. Ah. You see,
Speaker 1: this is the logic of the left, really, the illogic
Speaker 1: on display from the view the dumbest talk show in
Speaker 1: daytime or any time for that matter. But so it's
Speaker 1: a problem that Senator Tim Scott speaks because he was chosen,
Speaker 1: she says, this host because he's black, but we all
Speaker 1: know that if you had, you know, Lindsey Graham give
Speaker 1: the response, if you had a white senator, particularly a
Speaker 1: white male senator on the Republican side, give the response
Speaker 1: to Biden, it would be well, his opinion doesn't count
Speaker 1: on this issue. He hasn't lived the reality of racism,
Speaker 1: so they'll dismiss it. It's heads they win, tails you lose.
Speaker 1: And this is how Democrats always do it. The real
Speaker 1: takeaway from this week, and from Senator Tim Scott's rebuttal
Speaker 1: to the Biden joint address, is how vicious and yes, racist,
Speaker 1: so many leftists actually are. The fact that Uncle Tim
Speaker 1: the a reference of course to Uncle Tom, was trending
Speaker 1: on Twitter for almost twelve hours. It wasn't trending from
Speaker 1: conservatives posting and friends, we all know it. This is
Speaker 1: what the left does. They smear people if they're black
Speaker 1: and don't say the things the left demands. You know,
Speaker 1: that strikes me as racist. It strikes me as making
Speaker 1: judgments about people based upon skin color, attacking them based
Speaker 1: upon skin color because they won't do what the left
Speaker 1: tells them to do. Can you imagine, just think about this,
Speaker 1: imagine for a moment that Senator Senator Scott was not
Speaker 1: giving this speech. Imagine you had a white Republican in
Speaker 1: a during a Democrat administration, or even here, here's a
Speaker 1: better way to line this up. If you had Donald
Speaker 1: Trump tell a black Democrat senator that he didn't understand
Speaker 1: race relations or he was wrong about race relations in America,
Speaker 1: it would have been a medium meltdown. It would have
Speaker 1: been the Chernobyl of race relations stories in America. I mean,
Speaker 1: they would have completely lost their minds. What we have
Speaker 1: here is Joe Biden telling Senator Tim Scott, a black
Speaker 1: man from the South, what the truth of race relations are.
Speaker 1: Do you think Joe Biden, old white man Biden from
Speaker 1: Delaware is is somehow attuned to this like he Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has better insight into race relations in America than
Speaker 1: Tim Scott. Now now we could. My position is that
Speaker 1: it actually doesn't matter what your race is. You should have,
Speaker 1: you know, equal space in the public square to address
Speaker 1: important issues, including issues of race. I actually don't believe
Speaker 1: this lived experienced rhetoric that's always being thrown out at
Speaker 1: people to make some inion's worth more than others. I
Speaker 1: think the argument should stand on its own. The stories,
Speaker 1: the reality should stand up on its own without people
Speaker 1: having to do this balancing act all the time. But
Speaker 1: imagine Joe Biden lecturing, I'm sorry, imagine Donald Trump lecturing
Speaker 1: a black Democrats on race relations. That's exactly what the
Speaker 1: Democrats have done with the Biden administration and Senator Scott
Speaker 1: do et Patria. That is the slogan of my high school,
Speaker 1: Regius High School in New York City, perhaps now best known,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for all, as the school that produced none other
Speaker 1: than doctor Anthony Fauci. You know, here's the thing you
Speaker 1: got to mitigate with the mask to prevent a plateau.
Speaker 1: But you know, you could have a diminution of the
Speaker 1: ascendancy of the third order effect of a differential magnitude
Speaker 1: of using a cloth versus the aerosolies and ninety you know,
Speaker 1: all the all the jargon that Fauci throws at you
Speaker 1: so that he can say absurd and self contradictory things
Speaker 1: and still have people go, oh, yes, doctor Fauci is
Speaker 1: so smart. And he went to Regis High School, which
Speaker 1: is in Manhattan. It's on the Upper East Side, but
Speaker 1: it's not one of those fancy Upper east Side kids schools.
Speaker 1: It actually draws from all over the five boroughs. In fact,
Speaker 1: my classmates are came from as far out as Wappinger's Falls,
Speaker 1: that's right, commuting each way from Wappinger's Falls. I had
Speaker 1: classmates from all over the south shore of Long Island,
Speaker 1: from out of Nassau County. I had people from all
Speaker 1: the five boroughs, a lot of folks from Staten Island.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update host Colin
Speaker 1: Jost was my classmate at Regis and he did a
Speaker 1: whole movie on Netflix about Staten Island, if memory serves. So,
Speaker 1: Regis is a place. It's very interesting, and it's because
Speaker 1: it's a scholarship school. Now why am I telling you
Speaker 1: about this, Well, it's under assault for you guessed it
Speaker 1: critical race theory. And it's a shame because here's what's
Speaker 1: been so fascinating about Regis, which has been around since
Speaker 1: I think about nineteen oh five. So this is a
Speaker 1: school that's over one hundred years old. It's always been
Speaker 1: tuition free. So it's a private school, Jesuit affiliated, but
Speaker 1: not actually run. It's not a parochial school. It's not
Speaker 1: run by the church. It's a private school where you pay.
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty dollars a year, at least when
Speaker 1: I was there, twenty dollars a year for laboratory fees
Speaker 1: and student fees. And that's it. It's a tuition free
Speaker 1: private school. There's only nothing like it in the country.
Speaker 1: I believe Regis Philbin, the TV host, was named for
Speaker 1: the school because his dad went there. But Regis, from
Speaker 1: what I remember in an interview, didn't actually get into Regis,
Speaker 1: which has got to be tough to than carry the name.
Speaker 1: But anyway, he had quite a career. I'm sure he's fine.
Speaker 1: So here's what was written by Jack Fowler, who's the
Speaker 1: believe the publisher of National Review. Regis High School seems
Speaker 1: ashamed of its legacy and purpose. So let me just
Speaker 1: tell you some of what he writes here, and then
Speaker 1: I'll get into how critical race theory is destroying every
Speaker 1: institution that it's in and will continue to do so
Speaker 1: until we say so. Whatever school your kids are in,
Speaker 1: whatever company you work for, if CRT spreads, it is
Speaker 1: an intellectual cancer and it will destroy that place. Critical
Speaker 1: race theory will ruin anything it touches, anything it infiltrates,
Speaker 1: and Regis is yet another example. Here's what Fouler writes
Speaker 1: in National Review, there's a lot of trouble of foot
Speaker 1: at my alma mater, and it seems worth sharing. Maybe
Speaker 1: that should be more trouble because prestigious Regius High School
Speaker 1: has been in the news of late with its president
Speaker 1: being fired over charges of sexual misconduct. A Jesuit run institution,
Speaker 1: and yes, the high school of one Anthony Fauci. Regis
Speaker 1: is not prestigious because of my particular alumnus status, nor
Speaker 1: because of cost. It's tuition free since it's founding in
Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen. Sorry I think I said nineteen o five,
Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen. Simply it is regularly ranked as one of
Speaker 1: the best Catholic high school, as the best Catholic high
Speaker 1: school actually in America. So Regis is considered in whatever
Speaker 1: rankings there are the best Catholic school you can go
Speaker 1: to for high school. It got that status because it
Speaker 1: was a determined fire hose of classical education that graduated
Speaker 1: young men who were put to so many a test
Speaker 1: that they could think and analyze as adults for God
Speaker 1: and country, as the blunt school motto stated. But now Regis,
Speaker 1: like many to school, seems ashamed of its legacy and purpose,
Speaker 1: maybe even of Dao and at Patrier and has become
Speaker 1: quick to genuflact and lie prostrate before the gods of
Speaker 1: critical race theory. Yeah, ruining the place, absolutely ruining it.
Speaker 1: So here's what happened. There's a letter that has been
Speaker 1: circulating that claims that Regis is essentially becoming overrun with
Speaker 1: critical race. There there are multiple letters. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not keeping that close tabs on this, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I'm not somebody who's a particularly active alumni
Speaker 1: of any or alumnus I guess of any institution that
Speaker 1: I've gone to, I feel like I did my time.
Speaker 1: I paid them, I do. I have sent regious money
Speaker 1: and I donate in one way or another to their
Speaker 1: annual fund. Reminds me, I've actually got to take a
Speaker 1: family out to lunch as a as a prize. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, lunch with buck Who. It's a prize. Believe
Speaker 1: it or not. It's a good way to raise money
Speaker 1: for the school. But there's there are letters going around
Speaker 1: now because parents are sick of the critical race theory
Speaker 1: that is being indoctrinated that their kids are being indoctrinated with.
Speaker 1: They write, enough, this is not what our son signed
Speaker 1: up for. What you're doing is wrong and bad. That's
Speaker 1: the basic overview that he gives here. And you're hearing
Speaker 1: this now as so many school because we have this
Speaker 1: Biden administration. There's the moral panic of oh no, the
Speaker 1: Trump administration. Trump did all these terrible things, and so
Speaker 1: people feel more than ever like there has to be
Speaker 1: some kind of penance done now. And that means critical
Speaker 1: race theory, which just understand it, it's Marxism with race
Speaker 1: instead of class as the separating indices, if you will.
Speaker 1: It's it's race based Marxism is what critical race theory is.
Speaker 1: In fact, the founders of it, you can go back
Speaker 1: to Herbert Marks, were Marxists, and it's essentially saying a
Speaker 1: society that does not allow for racial balancing in the
Speaker 1: law and just in every aspect of society will, because
Speaker 1: of structural racism, always be perpetuating more racism. So it's
Speaker 1: up to some people in positions of power to balance
Speaker 1: that out. What does that really mean, Well, it means
Speaker 1: you're gonna be making value judgments about people by the
Speaker 1: color of their skin. It means an end to equal
Speaker 1: protection under the law and its replacement with equity protection
Speaker 1: under the law, So that's another one. That's another thing
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. So the ends in fact have
Speaker 1: to be the same, not the opportunities to get there.
Speaker 1: And one reason why Regis has been a little bit
Speaker 1: resistant to this is its classical tradition as a Jesuit
Speaker 1: institution here in New York City and a pretty celebrated one.
Speaker 1: I feel fortunate that I went to school there. It
Speaker 1: is a nerd factory and there are no girls, so
Speaker 1: there were some big downsides to it, but overall, I
Speaker 1: had a good I had a good experience there and
Speaker 1: I learned a lot, and I learned what it was
Speaker 1: like to be around individuals who were highly driven and
Speaker 1: didn't have a safety net, you know, didn't have some
Speaker 1: medical practice they were going to inherit from mom and dad,
Speaker 1: or didn't have some you know, business that they could
Speaker 1: just go work for. It was a lot of kids
Speaker 1: when I was there. The average income, I remember they
Speaker 1: sent this out to the incoming freshman class. The average
Speaker 1: income was about fifty five thousand dollars a year for
Speaker 1: a Regis family. I think it was something maybe it
Speaker 1: was sixty five thousand dollars a year, but it was
Speaker 1: a solidly now that was in the year two thousand,
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry the year nineteen ninety six rather, But
Speaker 1: it was a solidly middle class institution in terms of
Speaker 1: the socioeconomics of the people who go there. There was
Speaker 1: also some diversity in the class, for sure, but it
Speaker 1: tended to be diversity of Asian American students. There were
Speaker 1: a lot of Korean Americans and Filipino Americans in my class,
Speaker 1: and there were not that many African Americans and Hispanic
Speaker 1: Americans as a percentage of the overall class compared to
Speaker 1: the greater tri state population. Ah See, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. That's where critical race theory steps in
Speaker 1: and says, this is inherently a racist institution because there
Speaker 1: aren't enough Black and Latino students in it. Now, Regis
Speaker 1: is not responsible for all of society. They merely have
Speaker 1: very high standards for admission, which they can uphold because
Speaker 1: they give a free education to all the students who go.
Speaker 1: It's the only free private school I think in the
Speaker 1: country that isn't a consti conservatorium or conservatory. Rather that
Speaker 1: isn't music or has some other like Juilliard is a
Speaker 1: free school. But Juilliard's also a college level institution, and
Speaker 1: it's for music and acting and other things. So critical
Speaker 1: race theory has infiltrated Regis. Here's what this letter is
Speaker 1: that's out there now. And I remember I'm telling you
Speaker 1: about this because this is a place that I know well.
Speaker 1: It's being taught at your kids parochial school too. It's
Speaker 1: being taught at your kids public or private school. It's
Speaker 1: in the boardroom wherever you work, whether they're open, I'm
Speaker 1: out it or not. It's happening. And it is going
Speaker 1: to corrupt and corrode these plays until we meet it
Speaker 1: head on. So this is a problem for all of
Speaker 1: us now in America. Here's what this letter from the
Speaker 1: alumni is. This is an open letter from a group
Speaker 1: of concerned alumni and parents. Up until July eighth of
Speaker 1: last year, we were thankful that REGIS remained faithful to
Speaker 1: its mission of academic excellence and fostering a spirit of generosity,
Speaker 1: and had resisted the fashionable racism inherent in critical race
Speaker 1: theory that has been embraced by other educational institutions. We
Speaker 1: felt confident that the academic rigor and focus on a
Speaker 1: critical thinking that REGIS has instilled in its graduates for
Speaker 1: over a century, made REGIS immune to the anti rational,
Speaker 1: anti liberal, anti meritocratic, neo racist ideology that is critical
Speaker 1: race theory. Regis Is reckoning came last summer when an
Speaker 1: anonymous group created an Instagram page called blacket Regis in
Speaker 1: response to a letter Regis emailed to the entire community
Speaker 1: on June third of twenty twenty. Many of the stories
Speaker 1: on Blackett Regis are awful. We want to be clear
Speaker 1: that racial harassment and discrimination are unacceptable. However, the blackett
Speaker 1: Regis site does not simply draw attention to incidents it
Speaker 1: prescribes as the remedy the adoption of critical race theory ideology.
Speaker 1: The first letter is anonymous and states the mission of
Speaker 1: this project is to highlight the experience of black students.
Speaker 1: The second letter was signed by over six hundred Regis
Speaker 1: and Reach alumni and faculty. It is also full of
Speaker 1: CRT jargon and its condemnations of condemnation of Regis's behavior,
Speaker 1: and it calls the reasonable and measure June third letter
Speaker 1: from Regis a slap in the face from an institution
Speaker 1: that prides itself on forming men for others. So a
Speaker 1: big part of this is that Regis has already been
Speaker 1: doing something called the Reach program for years where they
Speaker 1: take in it's predominantly black and Latino students that are
Speaker 1: in the Reach program, and they are not as academically
Speaker 1: prepared as some of their peers, so they do extra
Speaker 1: tutoring and outreach to them. Not enough, unacceptable, And so
Speaker 1: you have now demands for critical race theory, demands for
Speaker 1: changes in curriculum, demands for the end of one of
Speaker 1: the only pure meritocracies and academia that exists in the
Speaker 1: entire United States. And if we don't say enough is enough,
Speaker 1: if we don't say excellence is its own goal here,
Speaker 1: and we're not going to change it based on the
Speaker 1: demands of some whiny babies, we're gonna lose it. Meritocracy
Speaker 1: itself is under assault here, friends, not just at this
Speaker 1: one high school, all across the country. We fight it
Speaker 1: or the Marxists win. All right, Producer Mark, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to check in with you, buddy before we sign
Speaker 1: off for the weekend, and we'll get to a deep
Speaker 1: roll call I had. I had a lot of guests
Speaker 1: today and so we cut things short a little bit.
Speaker 1: But what do you got planned? Anything fun? And exciting.
Speaker 1: Nothing fun and exciting. I'm going to be moving in
Speaker 1: two or three weeks. It's just making sure everything's in
Speaker 1: a cardboard box. Come and move it for me. There
Speaker 1: we go. That'll be that'll be fun times. Man, did
Speaker 1: you see that there's now a function on Netflix where
Speaker 1: it just will play something you don't even have to choose.
Speaker 1: It'll just play something that it thinks you like. And
Speaker 1: I think this is how civilization ends. We've now become
Speaker 1: so lazy that we won't even scroll to find the
Speaker 1: show among the curated suggestions that Netflix already makes. We
Speaker 1: have to have Netflix for those who subscribe to it,
Speaker 1: pick the show for us and just play it. I mean,
Speaker 1: some people like the randomness there. They used to have
Speaker 1: this thing that would help you pick a show, like
Speaker 1: you just choose comedy and like something like another generic
Speaker 1: you know, title for it, and it would choose something
Speaker 1: for you. Now they're just choosing it. I mean I
Speaker 1: don't mind it, because there are there are hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousand of things on Netflix. It's hard to find something
Speaker 1: you want to watch. What is your show? These days?
Speaker 1: I have a lot of them. We just we're about
Speaker 1: to finish Winter Captain and the Winter Winter Soldier. That's
Speaker 1: a new Marvel thing. Not not to beat a dead horse,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna beat it. Yeah, so she'll watch Captain
Speaker 1: America's stuff with you, sure, missus Marks, but she's not
Speaker 1: going to try the Boys on Amazon Prime. You have
Speaker 1: to explare just to be fair. I haven't asked, but
Speaker 1: by the way you described it, it is incredibly violent
Speaker 1: and doesn't sound like something Upper Alley. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's incredible, it's I'm just going by how you
Speaker 1: I know it's graphic, mm it's but it's like silly
Speaker 1: violence almost, do you know what I'm saying. It's a
Speaker 1: little bit like, uh, like in Big Trouble and Little
Speaker 1: China when the guy actually explodes, you know, like, is
Speaker 1: that violence? I mean, it's gross because his guts fly everywhere,
Speaker 1: but he exploded like that doesn't really compare it to Deadpool.
Speaker 1: It's very much like Deadpool. All right, then maybe she
Speaker 1: would like it. Maybe we would try Deadpool before. The
Speaker 1: extreme violence is generally presented in almost a semi comedic,
Speaker 1: like a dark comedy way. It is very Deadpool esque.
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm hoping, I dude, I'm I've I've
Speaker 1: let I've let it go for a while. I've let
Speaker 1: it go for a while. But I'm hoping you're going
Speaker 1: to try out this suggestion at some point and you
Speaker 1: just tell you missus Mark, you tell her, you tell
Speaker 1: Ariel to blame me if it's bad. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the easiest way to go about this, Yeah, because then
Speaker 1: I get no blame. Yeah, I'm I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: something I can watch with the snow Princess. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've got I'm finishing off Pole Dark. I'm on season
Speaker 1: five now, which is on Amazon Prime. Great show, by
Speaker 1: the way, you can watch that with your whole family.
Speaker 1: There's no naughty, naughty stuff, no naughty fun fun time,
Speaker 1: and uh you know, but it's a very very good show,
Speaker 1: very well done. Um. I don't really have I tried Goliath.
Speaker 1: I think it tries too hard. I couldn't really get
Speaker 1: behind Goliath, so that didn't really excite me. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about I've told you ten times to watch
Speaker 1: ted Lesso and you still haven't done it. I don't
Speaker 1: have the iTunes thing that you need. Yes you do.
Speaker 1: You just bought a brand new TV. I'm pretty sure, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. If it doesn't have the Apple TV app.
Speaker 1: I would be shocked, like the ability to download it.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, we'll see. I will take your suggestions,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, because I'm a team player. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try this ted Lasso show and see how. Hey it's
Speaker 1: not just me. Everyone says it's great, So there you go. Well,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark is going to come back with some stories
Speaker 1: for us on Monday. To be sure, make sure you
Speaker 1: send us your thoughts for the upcoming roll call on Monday.
Speaker 1: Send us an email Teambucket, iHeartMedia dot com, or Facebook
Speaker 1: dot com. Slashbuck Sexton also follow me on Instagram if
Speaker 1: you're not already. I'm working on the Malta Part two
Speaker 1: this weekend, folks, so hopefully next week it'll be out
