WEBVTT - THE FIRST: The Oracle 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:05.520 We're gonna talk about the two biggest issues out there 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.559 right now with all the distractions. Tonight, we're gonna look 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.600 back on some COVID stuff. Tonight, we're gonna talk about 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:13.039 some of the illegal immigration. 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:25.360 Oh man, it's a spicy show. And I'm right it 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.440 could be hard to keep the big deal. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.600 The big deal. Isn't that a great phrase? By the way, 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.199 You know where I heard that phrase? His little rewind 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.760 before we go into me being an oracle and the 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.839 debt and all kinds of other stuff going on right now. 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.479 You know where I heard that phrase. A long time ago. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.680 I was running for Congress in Arizona. I lost twice, 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.280 but I ran for Congress in Arizona twice. I was 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.400 a Republican nominee, so I won the primary and then 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.360 lost the general election. And Pete Sessions, I actually think 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.280 he's still around. But Pete Sessions is one of those 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.840 salty old gopeers. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:58.520 In the house. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.840 Back then, was ourard in Congress, and he was going 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.880 to fly out there and help me try to raise 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.440 some money and campaign and win my congressional race. And 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.520 when I sat down with Pete, he's asking how the 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:10.560 race going, whatnot? 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:11.880 And He said to me. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:13.800 Jesse, you just make sure you're keeping a big deal, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:18.360 the big deal, And I said, all right, I will, 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.320 but I don't know exactly what do you mean? What 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.720 are you talking about? So I've been even clarified. Here's 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:28.240 what it means. It's easy in life, whether you're running 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:33.680 for Congress, whether you're just living your normal life, husband, father, kid, whatever, employee, 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:40.880 it's easy to get distracted by the small stuff, especially today, 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.160 when there are distractions everywhere, aren't there? And I'm not 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.400 doing the back in my day thing. I'm really not. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.920 But there are there distractions everywhere. Sure, they're in our 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.360 hands at all times, always a distraction. I was talking 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.040 to my son the other day, one of the times 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.920 where we let him have his phone. I had a 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.560 five minute conversation with me and hear dat gun word. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.920 He's on his phone. I took it away again. We 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.920 have to keep the big deal. The big deal. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:12.440 Well, the big deal is the United States of America. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.280 For you and me, it is a big deal because 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.919 not just because we love the country and we're patriots. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.639 It's a big deal because. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.000 The United States of America is the country in which 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:24.399 we live. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.600 I know that's a dumb down point. Just stay with me. 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.960 And we need the country where we live, where my 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.680 sons live, where hopefully the grandsons I have one day, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.280 or granddaughters, you know what I'm talking about, where they 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.880 will live and their kids will live, and their kids 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.280 will live. We need the United States of America to 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.520 stay together and stay prosperous and stay free, don't we 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.519 That's what we need. So what are the big deals 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.040 they're going to end the United States of America. Let 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.840 me ask you something. What you've talked about today with friends, family, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:00.840 political people. Are they things that are critical for the 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:07.440 United States of America? Are they distractions? Even if they're important, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.760 Are they distractions? We spend a lot of time on distractions. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.519 There are two things that will end the United States 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.200 of America. We are the most blessed by God country 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.240 in the history of the world. I really believe that, 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.400 not just because of our freedoms are natural resources, a 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.280 big ocean on each side. We're even geographically blessed. This 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.680 is crazy, how blessed we are. There are only two 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.919 things that can sink a country with a twenty twenty 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:40.480 one trillion dollar economy, illegal immigration and debt. Illegal immigration 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:46.440 and debt. The boat taking on water is the only 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.840 thing that can bring this boat down. And this is 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.960 not something I've just come too recently. I realized people 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.480 are just now starting to wake up and see that 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.200 we're going to pay one point seven trillion in debt 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.440 interest alone next and they're doing the math and the 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.040 numbers aren't adding up. I'm not Johnny come lately to this. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.280 I've been screaming about it for ages. I really lost 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.640 my mind during COVID when I watched what was happening. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:16.400 Then the GOP lined up for the last four years 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.920 four years and voted yes, and voted yes, and voted yes, 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:27.360 and voted yes on multiple massive spending bills. Truth is, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.880 no one cares, and no one's gonna care until the 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.119 whole house of cards come crashing down and everyone's gonna 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.600 look around and they're gonna say, well, how this happened, 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:37.719 How this happened. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.480 Well, here's the hard truth of it. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.160 Talk about making you uncomfortable, here's the hard truth of it. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.760 When that happens, you and I will both have to 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:49.600 go look in the mirror and say that's on me. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:55.680 I never demanded better, so I never got mattered you 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.719 get what you get. Don't throw a fit. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.080 Then. I had so much hair back then. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:10.799 Anyway, Look, our debt situation just because of entitlements alone, 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.480 set aside for an aid and stuff like that, just 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:19.760 entitlements alone, pre COVID, our debt situation was going to 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:24.920 doom us doom us because it grows exponentially, the more 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.560 people are retiring, the more they're taking from it, that 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.800 we're not getting the production into it that we were 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:30.520 taking from it. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.680 It was just it was always going to it was 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:33.520 that it. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.080 I'll put it to you this way. Actually, it's the 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.320 best way I could describe it, the entitlement situation in 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.080 this country alone. It was the car at the top 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.240 of the hill facing down the road and there was 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.400 a cliff at the end of the road. And what 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:52.760 happened was we didn't, you know, start the car, but 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.920 we threw it in neutral and the. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.400 Car was already rolling. It was already heading down the cliff. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.520 And what we needed at the time, and this is 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.440 for years, this is you know, probably predates you, predates me. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.760 But what we needed is we needed. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.080 An adult to recognize it and have the courage to 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:17.320 hop in the moving car press the break, put it 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.679 in park, throw on the emergency brake, or even better, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.360 get in the car, start it, put it in reverse, 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.400 and get it back up to the top of the hill. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.400 Let's get away from that cliff. That's what we needed. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.839 That's what we've needed forever. We've never had even one 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.360 adult even attempt to do so, not in the Democrat 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.200 Party and not in the Republican Party. All they've ever done, 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:47.480 Republican presidents, Democrat presidents, Democrat senators, Republican senator, that doesn't. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.080 Matter who they are. 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.000 All they've done is spend and spend and spend and 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:51.880 spend and spend. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.040 So each and. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.880 Every person, instead of hopping in the car to throw 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.520 it in reverse and back it up, every person is 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.520 actually up in the car, started the car and then 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:08.520 gassed it faster and faster and faster, more, more, more, more, spending, more, spending, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.120 more spending, And then COVID come. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.880 This was pre COVID, and then COVID. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.840 Comes and we take everything that has us jetting towards 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.559 that crift cliff, and we just punched the gas even more. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.320 It's like we gave us a juice and nitrous heading 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.200 right for it. Now Republicans, boy, stemy money, steamy money, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.920 shut down the economy, another stimulus check. Here's another tree 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.000 in here, here's another tree in there. And then and 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.440 this shows you how insane these people are in DC. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.200 After all that insane COVID spending, we we're just hammering 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.120 the gas and printing money and blowing it out of 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:49.760 the water. Well, nobody slowed down. They didn't slow down. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.520 COVID's long gone. That ever really was here, that bad, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:08:00.240 COVID's long gone. All the lockdown stuff long gone. Yet 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.920 the deficits, the debt, it's all going up at pretty 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.720 much at the same pace. So we got in during 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:13.800 COVID and hammered the car with nitrous and once COVID left, 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.160 we still haven't stopped. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.600 And now the cliff is coming. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.720 What I said about the interest on the debt next 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.600 year should be staggering to every person watching. So allow 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.480 me to explain it in this way very quickly, as 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.880 in next year, the interest on the debt is probably 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.800 going to be the largest item in the budget, and 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.760 very shortly after that, probably the next year it will 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:47.000 be by far the largest item in the budget, and 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.320 very very shortly after that. You're not going to be 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.720 able to make the interest payments. Now, let me ask 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:55.480 you something, just. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.199 So we can lay all this out here so we're 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.400 all on the same page. If you. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.120 Take out a home loan, you get a mortgage, buy 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.400 a home, and let's say it's an interest only loan. Okay, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.959 I didn't have enough money to pay on the principle, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:13.280 I get it. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:18.760 I've had one myself. What happens when you stop paying 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.800 your payments, if let's say you don't have the money. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:27.440 What happens? Yeah, as a nation, here's how it works. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:33.520 When we start missing interest payments, other nations around the 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:39.000 world will stop buying our debt. That will take away 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.880 our ability to spend more than we make. Everything stops 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.720 like that. And that is maybe the best case scenario, 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.520 because the worst case scenario is probably the more likely one. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.240 Warren Buffett actually talks about it here. I'll show you 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.719 in a second. The more likely scenario is this, all 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.080 these dirt balls in DC, Republican and Democrat, when that 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.440 debt crisis gets here, they're going to look out at 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.160 the population of this country like hungry wolves look at 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.160 a wounded baby deer crawling across the prairie. And they're 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.120 going to come for you, and they're going to come 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.600 for me. And when I say come for us, I'm 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.720 talking about our money. They're going to print us into death, 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.760 and they're going to tax us into death. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.360 And it is coming. Don't just take it from this oracle. 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.200 Listen to the oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:33.679 I would say, with president fiscal policies, I think that 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.560 something has to give, and I think that the higher 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:44.760 taxes are quite likely. They may decide that someday they 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.560 don't want the fiscal deficit to be this larger because 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.600 that has some important consequences, and they may not want 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.400 to decrease spending a lot, and they may decide they'll 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.720 take a larger percentage of what we earn and we'll 0:10:58.720 --> 0:10:59.120 pay it. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.480 How could we get here? That's really the question, isn't it. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.200 How could we take all these blessings from God, this 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:18.000 prosperous nation, all this freedom of this stuff. How could 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:22.520 we be so careless and irresponsible with it that now. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:27.000 Here we are. I mean, we're dead beats. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.920 We've buried ourselves financially so badly. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:34.960 We're dead beats. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.680 Look, I'm sorry to put it that way, that hurts 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.280 to say about. You know me, I'm an American citizen, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.600 the country I love. But that uncle you have who 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.240 just got his fourth car repode and he's always borrowing 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.840 money from somebody, and he's maxed out three credit cards 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.200 and he's living on the street right now, what do 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:55.920 you call him? 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.040 You call him a dead beat because. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.840 He took any blessing, every blessing he ever had, and 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.040 he squandered it all, and he borrowed endless amounts of money, 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.280 just ruined us. And look, part of this is the 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.880 morons we have running this country. And they're morons, and 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.160 most Americans don't actually know they're morons. It's not that 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.880 you can't get people to criticize the government or politicians. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.160 That's always easy. This guy's an idiot, that guy sucks, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.560 that's easy. But what people don't really really grasp most 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.920 Americans you will, but the normies out there, what they 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:32.480 won't grasp is this that these highly highly educated people 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.760 Harvard and Nario and all these things, they are actually 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.360 because the education system is broken in communist and awful, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:44.240 our most educated people are actually the dumbest people on 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.560 the planet. And these are the people who run the 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.600 monetary system. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.400 The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.320 our own money. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.520 Why does the government even borrow? 0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:02.520 Well, the uh so, the I mean again, some of 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.080 this stuff gets some of the language that some of 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.120 the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.280 government definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.560 Which is why the government definitely prints money, and then 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.960 it lends that money by selling bonds. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.320 Is that what they do? They they. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:30.040 They yeah, they they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.000 since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:36.000 lend them the money. Yeah. So a lot of times, 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.280 a lot of times, at least to my year with MMT, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.120 the language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.840 but there is no question that the government prints money 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:54.240 and then it uses that money to uh so, Yeah, 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.400 I guess I'm just I don't I can't really talk. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.079 I don't. I don't get it. I don't know what 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.680 they're talking about, like because it's it's like, the government 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.240 clearly prints money, it does it all the time, and 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.439 it clearly borrows. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this net 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.480 and depth of conversation so I don't think there's anything 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:12.240 confusing there. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.480 What else do I have to say is the people 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:26.240 who run the financial system and now are elites, the 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.280 ones who should be trying to save us, you know, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.760 if they had any sense of honor or duty or obligation. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.360 When you're the Treasury Secretary, the head of the Fed, 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.480 the President, Senate, you should be meeting right now to 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.960 try to save America, try to save our way of life, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.720 to make hard decisions, hard cuts. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.680 This has to go, this has to go. Oh my goodness, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.000 we have to get rid of this. We got to do. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.960 That's what they should be doing. But now when we 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.560 need them the most. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.960 They've just become, all of them become mouthpieces for the regime, 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.400 trying to convince everyone that the boat isn't actually seeing thinking. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.120 Janet Yellen, I mean, she's basically given up at this 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.560 point in time. Here she is out here now with 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.280 everyone suffering, grocery prices up forty percent, and the Treasury 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.560 secretaries now just out there telling you how great everything is. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.160 I think we've got a good, strong economy, we've got 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.800 very strong domestic demand. Consumers, you're holding up some low 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:28.680 income consumers or perhaps exhausting their buffers of saving that they. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.920 Build up during the pandemic. We're seeing a little bit 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:37.920 more distress at the household level there, but generally households 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.120 are in very good financial shape or financial system is 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.200 generally quite strong. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:49.920 Yeah. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.280 Anyway, take care of yourself, all right, and now's the 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:54.760 time to cut some costs. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:56.120 All that may have. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:01.240 Made you uncomfortable, but I am right speaking of cutting costs, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.040 not just the government, You and me. It's time to 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.000 tighten the belt and prepare ourselves for some rocky times. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.040 Getting rid of your time share would be a good idea. 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.320 No, Jasey, I'd love to easy. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.200 For you to say no, It's easy for all of 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.800 us to say because of lone Star transfer. The only 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.440 people who think they're stuck in their timeshare are people 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.520 who have not found out about lone Star transfer. They 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.600 are a family business that will legally and permanently get 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.640 you out of your time share. They've been doing this 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:36.160 for ages. Over twenty thousand timeshare owners are legally and 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.120 permanently out of their time share because of lone Star transfer. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:40.720 What do they do? 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.360 They made a phone call, Just call loan start transfer. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.480 Stop calling the timeshare companies. Stop be emailing them. They're 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.320 going to try to keep you there for life and 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.640 call lone star transfer eight four four three one zero 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.640 two six four six We'll be back. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.239 Are you an NYU student? No, I'm not. Why are 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:10.360 you guys wearing masks? 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:10.520 Like? 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.120 If you guys, are you know, proud of what you're 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:12.720 standing for? 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.960 How come so many people are hiding their faces? 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.800 I think that's a good question and a different interpretation 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.920 of wearing masks than I'm used to we I find 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.879 that this crowd skews more like pandemic and COVID conscious. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.560 So that's the reason that I mean, personally, that's why. 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:32.280 I'miring a mask. 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.000 I get sick, and I think a lot of my 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:35.719 friends do too. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:42.040 U huh, put their nose sticking out the top of it. 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:43.400 Just try to me now. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.280 Tracy Bean's editor in chief Uncovered DC. She really does 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.040 some really really sharp work when she digs into something. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.560 Get Ready and Tracy, I love the I love the 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.120 mass theater. It's just so weird because I never bought 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:57.639 into it, you know, I we never bought into it 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.000 in the beginning, but it's still going on for people, 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.560 and it's just you know, like looking at psychosis in 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:03.160 real time. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.160 I can't. I can't, I can't figure it out. 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.840 That was hysterical. I almost wasn't able to contain myself, like, 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.239 tell me you have no idea about anything? Without telling me? 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.760 That was crazy. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.320 Okay, Tracy, what should I make of all all the 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:23.360 masks stuff we see there? 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.480 Honestly, I'm a cynical person, as you will know. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.359 I looked at it and just thought, Okay, they're just 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.800 using this to disguise themselves. No one wants to get 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.399 exposed as being some dirty, comming nutball, so they're just 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:34.560 using the mask thing. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:35.320 It's not more. 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.480 Complicated than that, right, I mean they're using these things 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.119 to knock over convenience stores in Philadelphia. 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.280 Well, I think from the organization standpoint at the top, 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.080 they're telling them that maybe, But truthfully, we all know 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.600 there's a double entendre to the mask. I mean, it's 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.800 obviously for she's not even a student. She's wearing a 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.360 mask below her nose. She has no idea what she's doing. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.920 She's completely programmed. She's like a zombie. But there are 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.119 people out there that are using scarves and things like 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.040 that as mess just like Fauci told us was okay, 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.280 and they're doing it to hide their faces and then 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:10.320 other people see them. 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.960 Like, oh, COVID, it's so crazy. I still can't get 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:14.280 over it. 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.200 That reminds me I never did get into the cool 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:18.280 face scarf thing. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:19.440 And that's sense, all right, Tracey. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.680 I want to talk about actually the COVID stuff, speaking 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.679 of a Fauci and everything else, because you wrote something 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.879 that was really, really good. I thought it was a 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.879 great read. It's something it's hard for me to do. 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.919 But the good that came from COVID and the lockdowns 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.439 and all the insanity, all that stuff still makes me 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.560 want to kill somebody, and there were good things that 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:40.119 came from it. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.520 Please, the floor is yours? 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.680 Great, awesome Listen. We can live our lives every single 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.159 day being absolutely infuriated and angry and full of rage, 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.359 or we can try something different because the rage really 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.480 hasn't worked. I've been doing it for twenty years. I'm finished, Jesse, 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:59.120 I'm done with the rage. So on that same tack, 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.280 I was like, what good came of this? Plenty number one? 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.920 You know, we heard a lot about kids being stuck 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.240 at home with their parents, parents being stuck at home, 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.439 working with kids, or being with their kids. But in 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.919 a lot of families that was wildly beneficial for the 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.280 family union. I know in my case, I got to 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.240 spend a ton more time with my kids than I 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.359 ever would have been able to spend before, and because 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.760 I'm a good parent, that worked out in our favor, 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.560 and I'm sure in many families across the country. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:26.840 That was the case. 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.560 We also got to see what was going on in 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:33.159 our children's schools, the way that they sneakily, you know, 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.440 they put in you know, DEI and all kinds of 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.120 other stuff into the curriculum that we never ever would 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.600 have seen before. We were able to see it and 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.359 take action to take more initiative to fix our kids' 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.720 education if they're attending public schools. A lot of people 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.080 saw what was going on and said, we can't fix this. 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.840 I'm taking my kids out of school and homeschooling them. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:58.439 Homeschooling took a huge, you know trajectory forward during the 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:02.480 pandemic and now still and that also led to parents 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:06.200 and adults being like, why am I driving an hour 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.320 to work each day, sitting in traffic, frustrated and angry 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:13.040 when I can do something else, or they picked up 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.399 hobbies that they've forgotten about or whatever. And you know, 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.600 this work from home thing is not going away. Just look, 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.400 there's buildings closing down everywhere. Nobody wants to go sit 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.920 in an office anymore. And that led to people taking 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.880 a bigger initiative on their health. After the pandemic junk 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:32.600 food phase got over with, people realized, Okay, can't trust 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.720 my doctors anymore, can't trust my hospitals anymore. 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:36.880 What can I do? 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:38.880 Let me see what I can do to make myself 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:40.040 well on the inside. 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:41.359 And they started doing that. 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:45.879 That means more spirituality, more religious practice, eating healthier, cutting 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.480 process foods from their diets, et cetera, so on and 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.479 so forth. So there was a multi pronged positive that 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:52.120 came out of it. 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:57.120 Wow. Look, I wouldn't say all of us have cut 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:58.680
