1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: your podcasts. I've told you all along you cannot trust 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: these bureaucracies. You cannot trust institutions in this country anymore 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: because so many of them have been overtaken by left 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: wing idealogues. That's the case when you talk about the 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: news media has been for a long time. It's also 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: now very apparent when you look at the major bureaucracies 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: out there, you look at what's going on with institutions 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: like the CDC right, So it's gone beyond just the 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: private sector wokeness. It's gone beyond college campuses and universities 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: that have Marxist running all over the place. Now what 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: should be nonpartisan government federal government institutions are provinces of 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: the left effectively and are working for progressive and woke 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: ideology in whatever way they can. This is a major challenge. 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: This is a threat to our freedoms and liberty. It's 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 1: when we have to take very seriously. But you also 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 1: have to focus on what's going on online these days, 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: and as you know, the Internet never forgets, and there's 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: never been a more important time to protect your Internet 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: activity than right now, given all the politicization and all 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: the ways that big tech are punishing people.

This is an institution. This is an 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: organization of the federal government that has been largely resigned 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: to putting out flu advisory notices. You know, once in 44 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: a while, they'll they'll be an ebola scare, or they'll 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: be a haunt of virus outbreak somewhere, and they'll they'll 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: call someone of the CDC for comment on the news. 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: But generally speaking, the CDC was something that you mostly 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: knew about because in zombie apocalypse movies or in some 49 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, some some sci fi thriller, the CDC would 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: make an appearance, right. I like the show The Rain, 51 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: for example, and the hero as a CDC scientist. It's 52 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: actually a good show. I think it holds up pretty 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: well for what it is. But now we see that, 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: just like all the other federal bureaucracies, the CDC is 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: involved in not just partisan politics, but in progressive politics, 56 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: in Marxist identity politics, and it doesn't want to step away. 57 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: As the COVID pandemic slowly fades, it's going to be 58 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: a long, painful extrication from the overlords that we have 59 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: now at the CDC telling us what we can do, 60 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: where we can shop, whether we can go and breathe 61 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: fresh air outside without some smelly rag across our face. Right, 62 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: That's not going to be an easy process in and 63 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: of itself, But the CDC wants to be involved in 64 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: the national conversation. That's why they have Rachelle will Lenski 65 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: as the director. Now, this is somebody who is a 66 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: progressive and a leftist. I mean she is, I assure you, 67 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: entirely in line with all of the political positions of 68 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: a primetime MSNBC host. And if you were to sit down, 69 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Robin will Lenski of the CDC, I'm sorry, Rochelle Wilenski 70 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: of the CDC is somebody who would believe and of 71 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: course a woman's right to choose, meaning terminate a pregnancy 72 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: for all nine months. She believes, I'm sure in all 73 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: of the whole panoply of transgender rights, even the ones 74 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: that are being created as I'm still sitting here speaking 75 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: to you, I'm sure she believes in giving puberty blocking 76 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: drugs to ten year olds who think that they're a 77 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: different gender than they are. Whatever it may be, find 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: a left wing issue, and the head of the CDC, 79 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: and I'm sure all the people around her too, because 80 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: these are science bureaucrats. Who do you think goes to 81 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: work for the CDC, people that are really going to 82 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: cure cancer, or people who want to be working in 83 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: the government. You went to med school for four years 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: into your residency, or you have a PhD in microbiology 85 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: and you want to go work at this at the 86 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: CDC so you can do what exactly if you're really good, 87 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: generally speaking, aren't you going to go to big pharma? 88 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: Aren't you gonna actually work at a place where they're 89 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: coming up with new drugs that save people's lives, sup 90 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: pointing the South folks as we all sit around worshiping 91 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Saint fauci As that this guy knows anything. But here 92 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: they are weighing in today, we're still in the midst 93 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: of this COVID pandemic. It's fading out, but there are 94 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: a lot of cases still and people are dying every day, 95 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: and you've had a real spike in cases in places 96 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: like New York in Michigan, which we'll talk about more later. 97 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: Yet they're immediately shifting focus because they don't want to 98 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: lose the ability to be front and center in the 99 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: public conversation. They're shifting focus here to racism. As an 100 00:05:53,839 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: urgent public health threat. Now, there a lot of ways 101 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: that we could tackle this conversation. You can get into this, 102 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: but let me just give you a sense of This 103 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: is the statement from Rachelle Wilenski, MDMPH, director of the 104 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here's what she writes. 105 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: The COVID nineteen pandemic has resulted in the depth of 106 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: over five hundred thousand Americans. Tens of millions have been infected, 107 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: and across the country people are suffering. Importantly, these painful, etc. Etc. Okay, 108 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: the disparities seen over the past year were not a 109 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: result of COVID nineteen. Instead, the pandemic illuminated inequities that 110 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: have existed for generations and revealed for all of America, 111 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: unknown but often unaddressed epidemic affecting impacting public health Racism. Wow, 112 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the real public health epidemic, I guess is in COVID, 113 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: the one that we're gonna have to struggle with for generations. 114 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: The real public health epidemic is racism. Think about this, 115 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: How is racism a public health epidemic? Where can we 116 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: can we isolate racism in a petri dish? Can we 117 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: actually do a test for you know, antibiotic resistance when 118 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: it comes to racism, and what are we really talking 119 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: about here. No, this is the transference of a supposed 120 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: institution of science which is really just a massive government 121 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: bureaucracy that's a tremendous amount of sloth, waste, and abuse, 122 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: and it's been catastrophically inept during the COVID pandemic. Let's 123 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: remind ourselves of that. Remember when in the early days 124 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: messed up all the testing, the CDC messed up the testing. 125 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: And also, who is telling you at the beginning, guys, 126 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: testing for this disease is just one of a hundred 127 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: steps to try to deal with this. But there was 128 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: such a focus on it because it was it turned 129 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: into it was Trump's fault that the tests in the 130 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: early days weren't coming out and the numbers that they 131 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: needed them to, meaning they weren't producing enough of these tests. Anyway, 132 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: the CDC has been an abject failure. They were they 133 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: didn't have the backbone, the institutional backbone to say, sorry, 134 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: lazy teachers, unions, the schools should be open, all of 135 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: them always, there's no reason to shut down K through 136 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: twelve education. Ever, in this country. The data never supported it, 137 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: It was never reasonable. CDC too cowardly to do that, 138 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: because do do you think that if you took a 139 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: poll of CDC employees, what ninety five percent of them 140 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: voted for Joe Biden. That's what I would guess about 141 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: ninety five percent. And if you wonder where I get 142 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: these statistics from, if you look at the federal government 143 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: and federal government bureaucrat donations in the Hillary Trump campaign, 144 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: guess what, over ninety percent went to Hillary Clinton. So 145 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: you've got a whole bunch of CNN watching leftists working 146 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: at the CDC, and now they want to get in 147 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: on the next big challenge, racism as a public health threat. 148 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: And you know they cite for they cite in this 149 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: health data about life expectancy, they cite that white Americans 150 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: live longer than black, black, and Hispanic Americans on average, 151 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: And so this is racism. It has to be racism, 152 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: they say, Right, what's so fascinating is do you think 153 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: that white Americans have the longest life expectancy because you know, 154 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: white supremacy. When they talk about racism, the only races 155 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: and they're fighting against, it's not black on Asian racism. 156 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: It's not hispanic on black racism or or anything else. 157 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: It's white supremacy. We all know that that's the only 158 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: racism that concerns the left in this country. There is 159 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: no other racism as far as they're concerned, even racism 160 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: among other races. They will tell you, and you know 161 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: this is true, is the result of white supremacy. So 162 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: white people are the are the reason for all racism 163 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: all over the world in fact, which is insane, but 164 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: that's what the left believes. Somehow, Asian Americans have a 165 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: a considerably higher life expectancy, I believe it's over eighty 166 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: than white Americans do. Which is interesting, isn't it? Because 167 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Asian Americans also have higher average household income than white 168 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: Americans do. But but the system of white supremacy cannot 169 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: be We can't say that this is an exaggerated construct 170 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: of the left. No, no, we all have to bow 171 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: before the terrors of the white supremacist system that exists 172 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: all over our country. Look, there's a tremendous amount uh, 173 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: there's a there's there's a tremendous amount of misinformation out 174 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: there about all of this. Right, there's a tremendous amount 175 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: of people who are sitting around saying, hold on a second, 176 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: maybe the CDC has actually got this right, and they 177 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: and they and then, as I said, they have to 178 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: they have to bow down to this notion that white 179 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: supremacy is influencing all of our institutions. It's it's in everything, 180 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: it's everywhere, it's all over the place. Maybe can we 181 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: can we have a conversation as to whether that's actually 182 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: exaggerated and that's harmful and that separates us and that 183 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: that pulls us apart? Right? Can can we have a 184 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: conversation about that? Or we're not allowed to. No, we're 185 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: just supposed to accept their premise. We're supposed to accept 186 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: their premise that even the health disparities from COVID are 187 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: a function of white supremacy and racism. Structure, structural racism, 188 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: white supremacy. These are the same things. They're used interchangeably 189 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: now they didn't used to be white supremacy. Used to 190 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: be guys with you know, neo Nazi tattoos and shaved 191 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: heads who were you know, really bad people. Now white 192 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: supremacy as well. There's disparate representation in the you know, 193 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: MIT electrical engineering program among different ethnic groups. So that 194 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: looks like white supremacy to me. I mean, it's it's 195 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: abused all the time. It's abused all the time as 196 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: a as just a concept now to silence people. And 197 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: then that brings me to the CDC. I've been worried 198 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: all along that the left has seen something here. The 199 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: left has seen that if you can terrify people based 200 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: upon their health, or if you can go for something 201 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: what's really perhaps the most personal thing for all of us, 202 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: our health, our ability to enjoy our day to day 203 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: lives and to stay alive. And this is a really 204 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: effective means of control. This is a really effective means 205 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: of getting people to do whatever you want them to do. 206 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: We've seen this during the pandemic. I've said they're going 207 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: to go from the public health emergency to the climate 208 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: change emergency. They're going to go from the They're going 209 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: to go from the public health emergency to the gun 210 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: violence emergency, which they've already done. And in fact, as 211 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, the CDC always wants to study gun violence 212 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: as that the CDC has a role in this, but 213 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: it's using a large federal bureaucracy under the guise of 214 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: health to control you and they say that this is 215 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: now all about racism, because then all these equity challenges 216 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: all across the country, it turns into listen to the science. 217 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: That's what they'll say, listen to the science. And as 218 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: we all know, that hasn't been true about their approach 219 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: to COVID, it's definitely not going to be true about 220 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: their approach to what they call now white supremacy, which 221 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: is it's almost hard, it's hard to define. It's whatever 222 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: the left decides it is, and now it's whatever the CDC, 223 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: the Centers for Disease Control decides it is. Perhaps we 224 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: should call it the Centers for Racism Control. Now you 225 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: got in this CDC statement put out by the director Wilenski, 226 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: very political. Obviously, if she's going to get that job 227 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: in the Bide administration, we will continue. Oh sorry, here 228 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: you go. As the nation's leading public health agency, CDC 229 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: has a critical role to play to address the impact 230 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: of racism on public health. To say that there's racism 231 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: in public health that they never will say who's committing 232 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: the public health racism. That's what I want to know. 233 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: I want to know who's actually doing the racism in 234 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: public health. Now, if they want to argue that there 235 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: is an economic disparity for health outcomes. That's absolutely true, 236 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: and we should look at how that happens, why that happens, 237 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: where that is. But if they're going to say that 238 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: the racism requires action by individuals, that is immoral. That's 239 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: what racism has to be premised on. That's what racism 240 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: has to be based on. So who's doing it? Are 241 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: doctors not treating minority patients because they're racist? Whose fault 242 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: is it? If one community drinks more sugary soda, for example, 243 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: and more foods that are likely to contribute to type 244 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: two diabetes than another, do all ethnic groups in this 245 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: country actually have the same risks from different diseases? It 246 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: actually turns out, if you look at the numbers, there 247 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: are some diseases that all of the world disparately affect 248 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: certain populations based on ethnicity. That's just a genetic reality. 249 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: Some people, some groups, ethnic groups, national groups are more 250 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: susceptible to certain diseases. I mean, one that comes to 251 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: mind is sickle cell anemia, for example. So there actually 252 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: are some health disparities that are just there that aren't 253 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: the result of racism. It's worth noting that. But how 254 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: do they expect. How's the CDC going to say that 255 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: we should tackle as well. You see an example of 256 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: it in Vermont. This is from Scientific American Vermont to 257 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: give minority residents priority for COVID vaccines. This was just 258 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: just recently. States have tribe with limited success to get 259 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: vaccines to people of color who have been disproportionately killed 260 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: hospitalized by the virus. Starting Thursday, Vermont explicitly gave black 261 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: adults and people from other minority communities priority status for vaccinations. 262 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: It follows Montana, which in January announced that Native Americans 263 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: other people of color, because they're at higher risk of 264 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: complications from COVID nineteen, would be allowed to receive the vaccine. 265 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: All Black, Indigenous residents and other people of color who 266 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: are permanent Vermont residence and sixteen or older are eligible 267 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: for the vaccine. Okay, so we're actually now prioritizing people 268 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: for life saving for what we all understand as a 269 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: life saving vaccine based upon skin color that is happening 270 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: in America today. You think that this is the beginning 271 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: of this, or you think that this is just a 272 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: one off, You think that they're going to do more 273 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: of this, or they're going to do less of this 274 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: going forward. Right this. When I say this, I mean 275 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: using race as a means of making distinctions about health 276 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: that really matter, distinctions about public health authorities and state 277 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: resources and ways that really matter. You know, what, would 278 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: it have been fair? I mean I had to help 279 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: my family members. I had to help my parents get vaccinated. 280 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: They're both seniors or my mom's close to being a senior. 281 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: I had to help them get appointments and figure out 282 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: and it was not easy for them at all. Would 283 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: I resent the idea that people who are younger than 284 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: my parents but are of a of a preferred by 285 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: the CDC racial category would go ahead of them, even 286 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: though the risk, as we know, is first and foremost 287 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: determined by age. Yeah, I think that that's a problem. 288 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: I think that's racism. But that's not the way that 289 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: the left sees us at all. They are pulling us apart. 290 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: They are Marxist identity politics obsessed. That's what's happening now 291 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: across the country, and that's what's happening with the CDC's 292 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: involvement in all of this. And you know they're they're 293 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: they're doing things at CDC like here's here's how they're 294 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: tackling this. Right, let's ask about they really doing. We're 295 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: expanding our internal agency efforts to foster greater diversity and 296 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: create an inclusive and affirming environment that's going to save 297 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: a lot of lives. Yeah, I'm sure the CDC is 298 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: going to be really successful in that. We're launching a 299 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: new web portal, Racism and Health as part of our 300 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: ongoing commitment to serve as a catalyst for public and 301 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: scientific discourse around racism and health and to be accountable 302 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: for our progress. Oh, I'm sure they're going to be 303 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: really accountable. Here's how they finish off this statement. Confronting 304 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: the impact of racism will not be easy. I know 305 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: we can meet this challenge. I know we can create 306 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: an America where all people have the opportunity to live 307 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: a healthy lifestyle when we each take responsibility and work together. 308 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: I am committed to this work. I certainly hope you 309 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: will lean in and join me. This is all just 310 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: this is all just the same stuff that you see, 311 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: the kind of you know, Marxist equity babble that you 312 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: see from college and university admissions offices. I mean, they're 313 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: they're really pushing very hard. This notion that America is 314 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: this really evil racist country and that there is no 315 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: in fact equal protection under the law. The law has 316 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: to be making constant distinctions between people based upon race. 317 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: This is an enormous moral regression. This is absolutely wrong. 318 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: This is absolutely going in the wrong direction. And it 319 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: started with smaller things like, oh, a little bit of 320 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: affirmative action in school is a little bit of firmative 321 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: action and hiring. Now you've got states that are saying, oh, 322 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: you're a black or Latino, you get priority access to 323 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: a vaccine over other people, including other people who are 324 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: at high risk because of their age and comorbidities. Because equity. 325 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: It's actually happening in this country right now in America. 326 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: The Biden administrations, of course pushing all this stuff as 327 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: much as they possibly can. That's right, rich old white 328 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: guy Joe Biden is trying to convince America he's so 329 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: concerned with equity. Sure he is. It's a fraud, friends, 330 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: but unfortunately it's when we're going to have to fight 331 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: back against because this is just the beginning. The CDC 332 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: as a woke agency is a reality. You really got 333 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 1: to fight to get to the truth. These days, the 334 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: media is lying to you all the time, more than ever, 335 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: but it is worse. I just want to say that 336 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: it's worse than it's ever been. And also, people are 337 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: more politically locked into their beliefs and they've ever been before. 338 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: People are more certain that whatever they're whatever they're saying 339 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: is the only proper way of and I'm talking about 340 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: even the words they use, but just their positions as well. 341 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: We are in a polarized and ossified political environment unlike 342 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: anything that's ever been before in my lifetime. It's existed 343 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: in the past, but it's gotten worse. It keeps getting worse. 344 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: And you see this even over the gun control issue, 345 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: in the way that Joe Biden is talking about gun 346 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: control and you say, hold on a second, why is 347 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: he coming up with this stuff? And he's had so 348 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: much time with all these different advisers and people that 349 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: are actually writing these speeches and the legislation in Congress, 350 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: and he lies about stuff, and we're supposed to think 351 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: that that's not a big problem, like it's not an 352 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: issue that when it comes to a constitutionally protected right, 353 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: you have the President of the United States saying things 354 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: that are just not true. And then if you bring 355 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: that up, people yell at you like you're a bad person. 356 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: The truth will get you in trouble. Well, the good 357 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: news is there are other people out there like you 358 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: who share your beliefs and you know this. But if 359 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: you've tried to share your political opinions on social media lately, 360 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: it's hard to have a civil conversation.

Most people don't know. And you walk 379 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: into a store and you buy a gun, you have 380 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: a background check, but you go to a gun show, 381 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: you can buy whatever you want, no background check? Not true? 382 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: Does anybody care anymore when things are not true when 383 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden says them, or when a Democrat says them, 384 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: or oh, I know, we can apply the Don Lemon standard, 385 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: which is well Trump lied so much that no lies 386 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: matter anymore. Now I don't I don't agree with that. 387 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: I don't agree with any of that, but that's the 388 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: standard they're trying to apply now to cover up for Amtrak. 389 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: Joe Yo here, I am them. I'm just gonna you know, 390 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say the stuff. And you know, I'm 391 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: no joke, friends, you know, just kind a little breathy, 392 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: a little a little bit of stop and start listen 393 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: to me. I'm so earnest, such a such a straight shooter, 394 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: not like a gun shooter, like a different kind of shooter. 395 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: It's not true that you can go to a gun 396 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: show and buy a gun without a background check. As 397 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: a matter of policy, that's not the case. If you're 398 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: a federally licensed firearms dealer at a gun show, you 399 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: will run a background check. So when Joe Biden says 400 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: that you can just go to a gun show and 401 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: buy one, that's not true. There are some wiggle room 402 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: in the law for hobbyists and enthusiasts who aren't engaged 403 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: in selling guns as a as their business who are 404 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: at a gun show, but the overwhelming majority turns out 405 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: of people that go to gun shows and buy a 406 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: gun will actually have to pass a background check. There's 407 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: a whole other part of this argument too that I 408 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: think is worth noting, and that's a lot of really 409 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: bad people can pass background checks. If somebody has a 410 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: criminal background, they're going to know that and they're very 411 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: likely to ignore whatever the gun laws are if they 412 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: want to get a gun. But a lot of other people, 413 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: including people that have severe mental illness or are going 414 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: to go on some kind of a shooting spree, they 415 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: when you look at it, they would pass They do 416 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: pass background checks. A lot of the time. So I 417 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: understand that there are a lot of security measures. I'm 418 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: not one of these people that's going to pretend that 419 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: there's no need for things that aren't one hundred percent effective, right, 420 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what the left does with vaccines. Now, 421 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: well it's not one hundred percent, so you still have 422 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: to mask up what that's crazy? Sorry, not one hundred percent? 423 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: All right, they're playing games here. Yes, vaccines are incredibly 424 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: effective at preventing the virus from being spread as well 425 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: as individuals from getting it. It's not perfect. I understand 426 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: that you can make a case that background checks are 427 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: are going to work sometimes, and they do work sometimes 428 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: in stopping people from getting farms. But let's also not 429 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: overstate the fact that a lot of mass shooters pass 430 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: background checks. So you know, you're you're throwing a bunch 431 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: of things at this in the hopes that it's going 432 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: to reduce violence in a meaningful way. And what you 433 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: really get with the background check stuff, for the most part, 434 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: is going to be the if it saves just one 435 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: life mentality, which is not how we make policy. If 436 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: it saves one life is the base is for a 437 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: truly tyrannical government, because think of all the ways anyone 438 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: who's going to argue with me on this one. The 439 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: speed limits should be ten miles an hour. We would 440 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: save tens of thousands of lives a year. It's true, 441 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: ten mile an hour. What you have to go so fast? 442 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: What your business wouldn't function anymore? Too bad? It'll save lives. 443 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: We don't do that, do we? Although I worry these 444 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: days that the mentality in the era of COVID has 445 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: changed so much that people would say, yeah, actually, you know, 446 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: we probably should have a ten mile a ten mile 447 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: per hour speed limit. You know, I think we actually 448 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: should have that. So the gun show thing is not true. 449 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: But more importantly, you get to the underlying philosophy of 450 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his underlying philosophy of the Constitution. Here's 451 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: what he says, play too their phony arguments suggesting that 452 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: these are Second Amendment rights at stake for what we're 453 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: talking about. But no amendment, no amendment to the Constitution 454 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: is absolute. Isn't that so interesting? Because the only amendment 455 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: to the Constitution, and this is just obvious, the only 456 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: amendment to the Constitution that Democrats believe is absolute is 457 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: the right to an abortion, which is not in an amendment, 458 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: nor is it in the Constitution, but there can be 459 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: no restrictions on it whatsoever, no limitations whatsoever. They will 460 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: fight any number of things that have come forward, that 461 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: including making abortion centers have doctors with admitting privileges at 462 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: a hospital. Democrats, they left, will fight against that like crazy, 463 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: including saying that you need to have a surgical grade 464 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: medical center to be performing abortions. Democrats will fight against that. 465 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: So even what we would call safety measures for abortions, 466 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: never mind stopping of abortions, they will do everything they 467 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: can to stop. They'll do everything they can to shut 468 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: that down, and unfortunately they're very successful in it. They 469 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: are abortion absolutists. That is true of Democrats, that is 470 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: true of the left. So that's one thing they do 471 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: believe in. And it's just ironic that the only amendment 472 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: that they believe is absolute is the one that doesn't exist, 473 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: or the only constitutional right, which is the right to 474 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: an abortion, which does not exist. And they can continue 475 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: with this lie as long as they want, but it's absurd. 476 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: And then you have something else that I thought about 477 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: where Biden pulled the fire in a crowded theater line. 478 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: It's remarkable. Democrats keep doing this. I mean a lot 479 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: of politicians and Republicans will do this too. Sometimes fire 480 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: in a crowded theater comes from a Supreme Court decision 481 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: Shank v. United States, where the Supreme Court wrongly held 482 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: that a person passing out flyers, a socialist pacifist who 483 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: was opposed to the First World War, passing out flyers 484 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: against the draft and against Woodrow Wilson, who was a 485 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: tyrant by the way, against Woodrow Wilson's desire to enter 486 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: the US in the First World War, clearly protected political 487 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: speech that that was quote, the equivalent of yelling fire 488 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: in a crowded theater. So Democrats think this is clever. 489 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: Biden thinks this is clever to say, well, there are 490 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: limitations on rights like yelling fire in a crowded theater, 491 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: and he actually cites a a pseudo intellectual justification for 492 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: the tyrannical shutdown of speech, because that's what that actually 493 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: refers to. But you just never you never expect democrats 494 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: when they speak, when they speak about the Constitution, I 495 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: will just say this, it's a little bit like when 496 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Democrat politicians speak about the Bible. You can they're always 497 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 1: they're always a little uncomfortable. There's always a little bit, 498 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, a little blue collar Joe here. 499 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, doing my thing, and you know, 500 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: I get kind of folks see and uh, you know what, 501 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: Gil little breath here and I know something, you know, 502 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: four score and on the seventh day, and the thing, 503 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: you know, they just kind of mutter off into nonsense 504 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: because ultimately Democrats believe that the Constitution is a question 505 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: of utility. They actually don't think that they're you know, 506 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: they don't think that there are universal truths that the 507 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: Founding fathers saw in those documents and in the document 508 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: the Constitution, and in the Bill of Rights that are 509 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: more important than whatever the Democrat agenda of the moment 510 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: may be. Shared principle doesn't matter. Look at how we've 511 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: switched from a country that wants equality to a country 512 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: that now wants equity, which is just this is just 513 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: a pathway to Marxism. If this means the same ends, 514 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: you get what the state says, you can have as 515 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: much as possible. Make that true. Not the state will 516 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: treat you and another person equally under the law. You 517 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: have the same recourse to the law. You will have 518 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: the same protections under law, and then it's let the 519 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 1: best man win. We have a great society because we 520 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: are willing to have an unequal society. We are not 521 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: equal in terms of talents. We are not equal in 522 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: terms of hard work, of intelligence, of beauty, of health, 523 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: of all kinds of things. It's not fair. Life is 524 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: never going to be fair. But a government that tries 525 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: to create a utopian society by having absolute control, we 526 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: see what this does, and it results in misery. It 527 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: results in the shared shared misery. As a Churchill and 528 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: it is always a Churchill quote, there's always a Churchill 529 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: quote when you need one. Capitalism is the unequal sharing 530 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: of blessings, and socialism is the unequal sharing of misery, 531 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: or rather the equal sharing of misery. You can't mess 532 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: up your Churchill quoth. That's not good. But here we 533 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: have one of these times where you see very clearly 534 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: the Democrat agenda laid before you, and on guns, on health, 535 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: on all of these things. It doesn't matter what argument 536 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: we make. They've decided they want these things. They have 537 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: an emotional impulse to get it, to get it done, 538 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: and that's why you just you see that it all 539 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: all the facts and figures that you can put forward. 540 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: It falls on deaf ears, doesn't matter, it's already decided 541 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: in their minds. So it's very, very challenging to see 542 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: this as anything other than a power grab when you 543 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: actually get into the facts and figures with Democrats on 544 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: gun control, and it's not going to save us, meaning 545 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: it's not going to save a lot of lives, it's 546 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: not going to deal with the enormous gun violence surge 547 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: last year. The gun violence surge was the result of 548 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: undermining law enforcement and emboldening criminals, which was all part 549 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: of a left wing narrative that America is a racist 550 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: place and the cops are racist, and that there's a 551 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: justification for the destruction of businesses and rioting in neighborhoods 552 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: because of that, that's what led to the worst murder 553 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: rates we've seen in this country in over twenty years. 554 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: But no, instead, we're going to talk about ghost guns. 555 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about how we can have some 556 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: change made to to guns at gun shows. I mean 557 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: all this stuff. Oh, we've got a new ATF director 558 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: who doesn't like the Second Amendment. Okay, that's really going 559 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: to help, right, This is garbage thinking. But the Biden 560 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: administrations you've seen there there's a lot of not just 561 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: bad policy approaches, but bad faith in the way they 562 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: talk about this and the way they view the other side. 563 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: This all again with the disdainful narrative of everyone who 564 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump was somehow a part of the 565 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: January sixth insurrection, which wasn't an insurrection. And the more 566 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: we found out about it, the more we realized it was. 567 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: You know, it was a mob that got out of control, 568 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: didn't actually kill any cops, and is being treated like 569 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: it was some kind of militia effort to overthrow the 570 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: United States government when it was really a bunch of 571 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: misled losers who did something very very stupid and very foolish. 572 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: But that was the beginning narrative, you see, because the 573 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: Democrats now they view you and me through that lens. 574 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: So they're not going to listen to us on guns, 575 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: they're not gonna listen to us on COVID, not listen 576 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: to us on anything. We just get pushed aside, swept 577 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: away one of those January six insurrection supporters. Even though 578 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,479 Speaker 1: we've been condemning that thing the whole time, it doesn't matter, 579 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: they don't care. President said ago quote, you go to it, 580 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: you could buy whatever you want, no background check. Is 581 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: there a special exemption in federal law that he was 582 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: referring to? Or just do FLA dealers not have to 583 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: do background checks when our kind a gun show? All? 584 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: Are you asking me if he was referring it's okay? 585 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: Were you asking me if he was referring to like 586 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: a specific circumstance or I'm sorry to tell me a 587 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: little bit more about your question. I mean, is it 588 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: the president's belief that you do not have to undergo 589 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: a background check when you are a gay gun show? No, 590 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: it's not his belief. He believes that gun that background 591 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: checks should be universal, right, he says, no background check. Well, 592 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: we know what his position is, right, so let me 593 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: reiterate that, which is that gut background checks or something 594 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: that should be universal. They're supported by more than eighty 595 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: percent of the public. He's supported legislation, advocated for that, 596 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: and advocated against loopholes as well. So that's his position, 597 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: and I appreciate you asking for the clarification. Yeah, Well 598 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: that's really interesting. Jen Saki. Another sake bomb dropped here 599 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: because he said very clearly, we all heard Joe Biden 600 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 1: before he said that you can go to a back 601 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: you can go to a gun show no background check. 602 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: That was no background check, that was the quote. Not 603 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: pretty much always a background check, but maybe under some 604 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: circumstances you might be able to get a FIM without 605 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: a background check. That's not what he said. So when 606 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: she says, we know his position, okay, but what he 607 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: said isn't true, and it should matter what the President 608 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: of the United States says on a policy issue like this, 609 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: where the facts are really what we are talking about. 610 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: The facts are really what's at issue here. Vice President 611 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: Harris is also out there on the push for gun control. 612 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: Here she is played nine. Over the course of my career, 613 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: I have seen gun violence up close. I've looked at 614 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: autopsy photographs. I've seen with my own two eyes what 615 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,479 Speaker 1: a bullet can do to the human body. I've held 616 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: hands with the hands of parents who have lost a child. 617 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: I have seen children who are traumatized by the loss 618 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: of a parent or sibling. And I have fought my 619 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: entire career to end this violence and to pass reasonable 620 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: gun safety laws. Time and again, as progress has stalled, 621 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: we've all asked, what are we waiting for? Because we 622 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 1: aren't waiting for a tragedy. I know that we've had 623 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: more tragedy than we can bear. We aren't waiting for 624 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: solutions either, because the solutions exist, They already exist. People 625 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: on both sides of the aisle want action. Real people 626 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: on both sides of the aisle want action. Okay, what 627 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: action do we supposedly want? The panning of ghost guns? 628 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: Is the banning of ghost guns? I'm just wondering if 629 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: we went down this list, Let's let's take a look 630 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: at a city like oh Chicago, which had a massive 631 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: increase in shootings last year, and it's already far too 632 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: violent as a city. With the banning of ghost guns, 633 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: or the background check provision changes that they want, or 634 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: anything that Biden's talking about, classifying modifications to a pistol, 635 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: so that'll be a short barrel rifle and you'll have 636 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: to register it under the National Firearms Act. Would any 637 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: of that stop a single one of the shootings in 638 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: Chicago last year? Let's just take that as a as 639 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: as one point here. Would any of them do that? 640 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't have the answer. I bet the answer is 641 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: less than one percent of those shootings would have been 642 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: affected by those things. But this is the action we 643 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: have to take. This is what we have to do. 644 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: It's about so much more than that. There's a fundamental 645 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: philosophical difference between the left and the right on the 646 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: issue of guns. They think that guns are a little 647 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: private rebellion in the hands of individual American citizens and 648 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: they cannot abide it. And we think that that little 649 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: private rebellion that each one of us has by essentially 650 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: having the opportunity to tell the state there is a 651 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: line that you shall not cross. There is a break 652 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: against tyranny. There's a bulwark against tyranny that as an 653 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: individual hands, which is the right to bear arms. That's 654 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: very important to this country. You know, advanced sophisticated democracies 655 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: in the past, with a high standard of living and 656 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: have gone fully tyrannical. They did not have an armed population. 657 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: We have an armed population, and we wanted to stay 658 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: that way. Democrats want to create registries and harass lawful 659 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: gun owners and every way they can change the culture, 660 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: change everything about the gun ownership reality in this country 661 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: so that they put it on a glide path to eradication. 662 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: That's what's really separating the two sides. Sarsani time, Our 663 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: friend David Harsani from National Review dot com is joining 664 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: us right now to talk about guns and maybe even 665 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: some Hunter Biden stuff if we've got the time, David, 666 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: great to have you. Let's jump right to this man. 667 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: This seems to me like it is absolutely as predictable 668 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: as anything could be the Biden administration. We're a few 669 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: months in and we're having it's the same gun control 670 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: debate we had under the Obama administration. Time and again. 671 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 1: They never give up. I'll give them credit for that. Yeah, 672 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that about that the other day, 673 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: about how I'm constantly I feel like I'm writing the 674 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: same thing over and over again. But it's really not 675 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: my fault because they keep coming back with the same 676 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: exact arguments, the same exact policy proposals. Actually they're getting 677 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 1: a little worse. Like Biden said a lot of ridiculous 678 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: things the other day that are completely false. I mean, 679 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: their lies about gun shows, you know, not having to 680 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: have a background check when you buy guns at gun shows, 681 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: about are fifteens about everything. So I'm not sure exactly 682 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: why they're doing this, because it seems unlikely the legislation 683 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: will pass, but it definitely will rile up gun owners. 684 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: Will probably see another huge spiking gun owner you know, 685 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: people buying guns. If if the manufacturers can keep up 686 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: with it, I'm not sure. And what do you think 687 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: they really hope to accomplish by this? I mean, if 688 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: we were we were able to sit in in a 689 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: meeting in the Oval, let's say, with Kamala and Joe 690 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: and you know the ron Klain. Is this to drive 691 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: up the Democrat bases enthusiasm for this administration and just 692 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: to drive up donations or do you think that they 693 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: really believe that they're gonna because I mean my thing is, 694 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: even if they got these things, no one who understands 695 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: the numbers and the statistics thinks that a change in 696 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: ghost guns is going to bring down the violence rate 697 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: or you'd be able to show how this is actually 698 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: saving lives. So what do they think they accomplish with this? Well? 699 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: I think it's two things. First of all, I think 700 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure from left wing groups to 701 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: do something, so they decide to, you know, pretend they're 702 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: doing something ghost guns. You know, when you're when you're 703 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: going the executive order route, there's only so much you 704 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: can do. It's unconstitutional to limit people, you know, AAR 705 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 1: fifteens or whatever. So they're trying to sort of nibble 706 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: at the edges to allow people to get excited about 707 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: them doing something. The second part is if they do something, 708 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: if they somehow get something through the point. You know, 709 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: AAR fifteens are used in only a small fraction of 710 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: murders in the United States. But if they get something through, 711 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 1: it's incrementalism, and then they want to take your guns. 712 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: I have zero doubt about that. And they're just trying 713 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: to figure out ways in which they can move forward, constantly, 714 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: move forward. I am. You know, I'm against any like 715 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what I'm forward, but I'm against any 716 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: legislation that moves forward more gun control. We have forty 717 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: thousand gun laws on the books. We don't need anymore. 718 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: We need enforcement of gun laws we have. We need 719 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: someone to investigate Hunter Biden, see why he had a 720 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: weapon and why he led on his background check form 721 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: and a gun was stored out in a garbage near 722 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: a school, for instance. Well, can you, David, we dive 723 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: into that, because I actually haven't covered that yet on 724 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: the show, and so I want this audience to know 725 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: exactly what you're and we're going to talk about Hunter 726 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: Biden in general and all the stuff that's come out, 727 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: But tell everybody what happened with a Hunter Biden gun situation. Well, 728 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, when you buy a gun, you signed a 729 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: background check. A lot of people don't know that because 730 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: Democrats always lie about it, but you know, eight ninety 731 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: nine percent of people buy guns have to go through 732 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,439 Speaker 1: a background check. Every gun has gone through a background check, 733 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: and Hunter Biden has a I believe it was just 734 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: some kind of semi automatic gun that he bought at 735 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,439 Speaker 1: a gun shop. But he lied on his background check 736 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: form because he said that he wasn't I don't know 737 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: how it's phrased, but it's diding drugs, right, Yeah, using 738 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: drugs that he wasn't doing crack so um and he was, 739 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: which is fine, I mean not fine. But maybe he's 740 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 1: getting over it, maybe he's in rehab. I don't know 741 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: what he is. But he lied on his form, which 742 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: is I believe it might I think it's a felony. 743 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: So he's lying to the FBI. So a lot of 744 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: people lie on those forms, and there are very few 745 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 1: prosecutions let's go after people lying on those forums. Let's 746 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: go after let's tighten up the system. Like in Charleston, 747 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: the local police hadn't informed the FBI that there was criminality, 748 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: you know, but that shooter had done drugs as well. 749 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,359 Speaker 1: So anyway, so I think, you know, there are plenty 750 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: of laws in the books. We need to tighten those up. 751 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm all for, you know, going after people who lying 752 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 1: on background checks, but we don't need any more laws. 753 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 1: And what was the disposing of the gun hunter Biden 754 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: near a school or something? What's that? I don't know 755 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: the particulars exactly, but something like I think it feels 756 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: like this is just how it feels like after reading 757 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: it to me. Or what seems like is that his girlfriend, 758 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: I guess it is, felt that he was a danger 759 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: to himself or a danger to others and took the 760 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: gun and just threw it out in a nearby garbage 761 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 1: which happened to be across the street from a school, 762 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: which is and you can it's it's I'm not sure 763 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: in Delaware what the laws are, but you're not supposed 764 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: to throw out guns in in that way. Yeah, that's 765 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: that's not a safe I mean, if you're not supposed 766 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: to dispose of your any biotics in the trash, you know, 767 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: or or any prescripture. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed 768 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 1: to throw a glock in the trash and just hope 769 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: that nobody finds it. But um, I'm speaking of David 770 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: Harsani of National View here and David on the Hunter 771 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: Biden stuff. So so here's my thing, and I think 772 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: you will you alluded to this, this feeling, or just 773 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: just a couple of moments ago. Yeah, addiction is a 774 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: very very serious crippling thing, and it ruins families, and 775 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: it is quite sad. I think it's perfectly fine. I 776 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: think it's actually just being fair minded to say that, Yeah, 777 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is an addict, and that's something that we 778 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: can sympathize with. Hunter Biden is also a really narcissistic, spoiled, 779 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: destructive scumbag. And and if if he were Donald Trump's son, 780 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: or even any Republican son for that matter, he wouldn't 781 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 1: be going on a book tour right now where Jimmy 782 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: Kimmel is basically giving him a BackRub on TV. Yeah. 783 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean I never, or very rarely were write about 784 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,760 Speaker 1: stories that have to do with like infidelity or drug 785 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: use of politicians, like I just don't do it because 786 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: we don't really know what the situation is all usually, 787 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: but here's the thing. This is the This is now 788 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 1: the president's son, the vice president son who only made 789 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: a you know, who made fifty k for a Ukrainian 790 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: energy firm because of his last name. And we're not 791 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: allowed to talk about this sort of thing because it 792 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: makes the president look bad and it's just insane. I mean, if, 793 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: like you said, if this was Don Junior or any 794 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,959 Speaker 1: of Trump's kids, it would be all over the front 795 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: pages of every newspaper. He's a bad guy. I'm sorry. 796 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: You know, the things he's done are immoral. It's not 797 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 1: just the drug use that I know addicts and I 798 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: know that people make mistakes and etc. But that's not 799 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 1: the case here. He doesn't seem to have any much 800 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: remorse about him. But moreover, he is benefiting from it still. 801 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: Now he is a book um and he's and he's 802 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 1: playing himself as the victim where you know, a major 803 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: media institutions aren't investigating what he was up to in China, 804 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and et cetera. They would just not be 805 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: the same for any other president's son. I mean, any 806 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 1: at least any Republicans. It's remarkable as well, David, to 807 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: see Chris Hayes, for example, over at MSNBC. Who's he's 808 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: I guess if you're like a Brooklyn Liberal, you know, 809 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: he's your, He is your your, your great champion of 810 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: progressive causes. I don't know. I've never understood how this 811 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: guy is someone that people listen to about anything, but 812 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: that's me. Uh. He had some tweet about you know, 813 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: maybe maybe is it possible that Hunter Biden's laptop was 814 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: actually real? And I look at that and I honestly 815 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 1: can't come to a conclusion. I can't analyze with certainty 816 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: in my own head. Is he just really not smart 817 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: and so he he doesn't believe that the laptop was 818 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 1: it's clearly real. There's more information that's come out about it. 819 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: It's obviously Hunter Biden's laptop. If it wasn't, they would 820 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: have been able to bunk it right away. Or is 821 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: this now kind of a game? I mean, is gas 822 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: lighting on something like this for people who have large 823 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: platforms and the media on the left part of the 824 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,800 Speaker 1: fun I don't know. I think that many times people 825 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 1: convinced themselves of things like the Russians are you know, 826 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: the Russians planted Hunters laptop with the New York Post. 827 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: I sty'll see people say stuff like that, it's just 828 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 1: in saying that story. Those stories had far more journalistic integrity, 829 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: and the people who did them at far more journalistic 830 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 1: integrity the most stories you see on MSNBC about Russia 831 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: or whatever else. So I don't I don't know what 832 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: the answer to that is, but it's it's increasingly clear 833 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: now we you and I knew this, and we talked 834 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: about it at the time, that those stories were censored 835 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 1: on purpose to help one, you know, one candidate when 836 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: the presidency it's corrupt, the media erupt. I refuse to 837 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: say things as a matter of course, even if it 838 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: will benefit my my you know, I'm a registered Republican, 839 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,720 Speaker 1: even from will benefit the Republican Party, it'll I refuse 840 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,720 Speaker 1: to say things that make me feel like I'm a moron. 841 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: And I don't see that among very prominent people on 842 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,760 Speaker 1: the left. I mean, I went on on Ontario recently 843 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: because on Joe Scarborough show on MSNBC in the morning, 844 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 1: he went on this whole thing about how you know, 845 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 1: vaccine denialism is for moron Trump supporters, and like they're 846 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of you know, toothless rubes who are drinking 847 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: their you know, Budweiser at Nascar. I mean it is 848 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: just he clearly makes us about anybody who was a 849 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,720 Speaker 1: question about or vaccine hesitancy is some idiot Trump supporter, 850 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: when I mean, in reality, the biggest vaccine hesitancy bulge 851 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 1: in the demographics is among minorities. But you know, it's 852 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 1: like he's not embarrassed to say something that's just so 853 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: very stupid because it serves the purpose in the moment. Yeah, 854 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,399 Speaker 1: I mean, it depends. So I think that a lot 855 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: of people on the left who are smart, you know, 856 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: as far as our IQ goes, or will do anything 857 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: because they feel like Republicans are evil and anything is 858 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 1: fine to say as long as it, you know, helps 859 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: them achieve the goals that they want. I think there 860 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: are other people like Joe Scarborough who's just not very 861 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: bright to begin with, but also it will say anything 862 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: for ratings and will say anything that people want to 863 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: hear wherever he is. I mean, when he was running 864 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 1: in Florida, you know, he pretended to be this one 865 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 1: type of person, and now he's up in wherever what 866 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 1: is it in New Jersey or wherever ms MSNBC films. 867 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 1: He pretends to be whatever is good there. When Trump, 868 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 1: when Trump was bringing him ratings, he said whatever Trump 869 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 1: wanted to hear. And now that you know, Trump was 870 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: unpopularly said, so he'll say whatever he wants. But so 871 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,279 Speaker 1: it depends where you're talking about. But I think there's 872 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: a lot of ends justify the means stuff there, and 873 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,280 Speaker 1: people sort of are in bubbles and they repeat things 874 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,879 Speaker 1: and they start to believe them, or if they don't, 875 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: if they just want you know, it's propaganda. It's basically 876 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: a propaganda work. So they just keep repeating it. And 877 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: you know, I can't bore into the souls of some 878 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: of these people to know if they actually believe what 879 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: they're saying. I'm embarrassed for them. Quite often, Like Jennifer 880 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 1: Rubins of the World, I just think it's a sort 881 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: of emotionally driven hatred of certain kind of people. Or 882 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: Tom Nichols at The Atlantic, I think he just hates 883 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: the aesthetic of people who wear America shirts or too 884 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 1: flag wavy, you know what I mean, Or people who 885 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 1: live in places that he doesn't visit. So I think 886 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: that's a problem too. So I think it's a bunch 887 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,359 Speaker 1: of different sorts of sort of you know, they're different 888 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,919 Speaker 1: sorts of trends going on. Is this Biden administration at 889 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:40,280 Speaker 1: this stage more left wing even than what we saw 890 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,399 Speaker 1: in the first year of the Obama administration in two 891 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: thousand and nine. First, Buck, I just want to say, 892 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,360 Speaker 1: I love that you let you team me up to 893 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: go after my least favorite people in the media. So 894 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 1: I just wanted to quickly say I appreciate that. But 895 00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: moving forward, let to displace my anger on this show. 896 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: So the second thing is yes, I mean, obviously I 897 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 1: think the party the policy wise, they're far left. I 898 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: mean they're they're far left of Obama. And this is 899 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: just accelerated in ways that are incredible. So today I 900 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,479 Speaker 1: saw Joe Biden is going to have a study group 901 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: to look into packing the courts. I mean, you know, 902 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,840 Speaker 1: why would he do that. It's not popular among the 903 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: normal people. It's not probably even popular among most Democrats. 904 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 1: It's popular on the far left. Because the far left 905 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: is the loudest, the most activist, the most you know, 906 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 1: the people who raise the money the people are out 907 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: there marching and he has to placate them. So I 908 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,759 Speaker 1: think that. I think Joe Biden's not left or right. 909 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: I think Joe Biden is wherever he thinks the Democratic 910 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 1: Party is. It's been that way his whole life, from 911 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three when he was posing up to segregation 912 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 1: as to now. But I think that yeah, I mean, 913 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 1: policy wise, it's it's it's incredible the language they use, 914 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: the racial identitarian sort of things that he says, the 915 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: anti gun rhetoric. You know, it's just all far, far 916 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,880 Speaker 1: to the left. So I don't know how that's going 917 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: to work out for them in the elections. But I mean, 918 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: like this gun thing, what was the point of that, 919 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: just to rile up right wingers and make yourself look 920 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 1: even farther to the left. I don't know. I don't 921 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. David Arsani, everybody Nashreview dot com 922 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,280 Speaker 1: go check out his peace there and David always a pleasure. 923 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:18,439 Speaker 1: Thank you.
