1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Power and money. Let's talk a little palace intrigue tonight. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Let's dump on the media out there. Let's talk about 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: a state of the race for twenty twenty four or 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: is there going to be a right, So that's coming up, 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: But I'm right there, get money out of politics? You 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: ever said anything like that or thought things like that? 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: I certainly have. Get money out of politics. It's one 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: of those kind of no brainer things, right, How much 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: better would it be if we got money out of politics? Now, 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,959 Speaker 1: let's be clear about this. It's not your mommy's show, 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: it's your daddy's show. We have to live in reality. 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Money's part of politics. It has always been part of 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: politics and it always will be. Long before there was 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: a United States of America, Roman senators were being bought 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: off and buying other people off and being bribed right 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: down to tribe electing its new chief. Hey man, if 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: I give you a couple extra catt or will you 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: give me your vote? Money's part of politics. That's ugly. 19 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: That's the reality of it. Let's talk about what it 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: means because it has so much to do, so much 21 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: to do with why we are where we are as 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: a late stage republic. Joe Biden, for instance. We'll get 23 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: into all this stuff that happened in the House today. 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: But Joe Biden, for instance, why why why do his 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: family members keep getting these huge payoffs from other nations 26 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: and companies gas company in Ukraine, a country here, Chinese CCP. 27 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: Why what do you gain from that? Joe Biden doesn't 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: have any money. I've been a senator forever. Yes he's 29 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: got money, but at one hundred and sixty five grand 30 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: a year he's been making, that's not wealthy. So what 31 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: do they gain from that? Well, Joe Biden has access 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: to more money, your money, specifically my money. So money 33 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: always plays a part. You saw the House of Representatives. 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: They passed a bill banning men from competing against women 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: in sports. Okay, fine, it's not going anywhere. Obviously, it's 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: going to get shot down. Every single United States senator 37 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: will shoot it down. And even if they didn't, well 38 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: every single Democrat senator, probably half the Republicans, and even 39 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: if they didn't, Joe Biden would shoot it down. But 40 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: why is that? Have you wondered why that is? Why 41 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: is it that the entire Democrat Party is all of 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: a sudden rainbow warriors when all of them, from Obama 43 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: to Biden recently were against even the basic concept of 44 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: gay marriage on camera. No it can't happen. But now 45 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: now they don't why money? The gay lobby is a 46 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: rich lobby. They command dollars, They command campaign dollars. You 47 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: go out there and take a step against the LGBTQ 48 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: demon mob. If you're a Democrat, you might lose your 49 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: next election. Money matters. You do remember all the bud 50 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: Light stuff, right, all the bud Light stuff. Because we're 51 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: switching gears to our team. In case you forgot a 52 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: little snippet, GOP quietly backs off attacking bud Light. In fact, 53 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: the National Republican Cosion Congressional Committee put out and then 54 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: swiftly deleted, a direct attack on bud Light, whose parent 55 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: company donated nearly five hundred thousand to its candidates. And finally, 56 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: we were almost ready to make an example of this 57 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: gigantic corporation, and the low TGP looks at its campaign 58 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: donations and says, oh uh, guys, now what if we 59 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: lose campaign money? Guys? Oh my god, stop. This is 60 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: why I don't call myself a Republican. Weird How you 61 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: haven't heard anything about bud Light since Monday. I'm sure 62 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: it's just a coincidence that Jeff Miller is a bud 63 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Light lobbyist, the big boy bud Light lobbyist, good friends 64 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: with Kevin McCarthy, intern with Kevin McCarthy. You see, we 65 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: were getting ready for a nice little cultural win. Leave 66 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: one of these corporations dead on the side of the 67 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: road for again waterboarding us with all this trans filth, 68 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: and the GOP stepped in for money to stop to 69 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: all of it. Money always comes down to that, always does. 70 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: I remember that story I told you a long time ago. 71 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: I know we have a bunch of new viewers and 72 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: we're grateful for that. So let me tell you a 73 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: little story about me. So you know, I ran for office, 74 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: ran for Congress. I was fresh out of the Marines. 75 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: I had never been involved in politics. I got mad 76 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: about what Barack Obama was going to do to the country. 77 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: I ran for Congress and a kind of a purple district, 78 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: a blue district. There was an income a Democrat maybe 79 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: could be one decided to run for Congress out of nowhere, 80 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: and as you can imagine, I know you're gonna find 81 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: this shocking. Eye was far to the right as a 82 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: candidate far to the right, and the establishment, backed by 83 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: John McCain, put in a state senator against me. Of 84 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: course he was going to be a good boy, right, 85 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: and I blew his doors off. Well, then I'm done 86 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: with a primary, and now I need to raise money 87 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: because she, Gabrielle Giffords was my opponent. She had tons 88 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: of money, and she's attacking me on TV, and I 89 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: need to raise money. And all the standard GOP donors 90 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: froze me out, didn't give me a dime as I 91 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: sat there broke getting savaged on TV. This is not 92 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: Sarah Grapes, by the way, best thing that ever happened 93 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: to me. I'm just telling you how money works in politics. 94 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: I had endorsed John McCain's primary opponent against him, so 95 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: John McCain did not care for me at all. Then 96 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: I get a meeting with him in Washington, DC. Gotten 97 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: back there doing some other stuff. I get Wordy wants 98 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: to meet me. Okay, go meet sat down, talked with him. 99 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: He is a he was rest in peace, a military guy, crass, 100 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: straightforward in person, and because of that we ended up 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: getting along very well in that meeting. By the time 102 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: that meeting was over, John McCain decided that he liked me, 103 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: and it was still to this day one of the 104 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: most unbelievable things ever. We as a campaign we had 105 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: a PO box. Because you can't have the address of 106 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: the office, all these comming nutballs will come vandalize the place. 107 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: You have a p O box, and that's a place 108 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: where people can mail checks, mail campaign donations. Since we 109 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: would go every day, someone on my staff would go 110 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: every day and open up the PO boxing. Look and 111 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: there's never anything in there as a check for five bucks, 112 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: and you just screwed. Right after John McCain decided he 113 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: liked me, the most exciting part of the day was 114 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: running down to the PO box to see all the checks, 115 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: checks from everywhere. People I've never met, people I'd never 116 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: talked to, Like that light switch got turned on. It's 117 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: how politics works. It's an ugly bit of business, isn't it. 118 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: Why do you think this Jamal Boom? Why do you 119 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: think he is such a weird person anyway, one of 120 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: these loud, annoying communists. But why do you think he's 121 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: so so committed to protecting TikTok on TikTok? 122 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: You have been outspoken against a ban. Is there anything 123 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: that you could learn about what the Chinese have access to, 124 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: what they're doing with it, that would prompt you to 125 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: support a ban? 126 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 127 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't seen any evidence of Chinese espionage 128 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: or chin I haven't seen. There hasn't been like a 129 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: top secret congressional briefing on what China is doing with TikTok. 130 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: We've never had that. At the same time, Facebook in 131 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 3: real time ignored rushing interference in our twenty sixteen elections 132 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: like that happened. That's a fact. 133 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: I bet you if you look through the FEC, that's 134 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: where you go to find campaign donations, and all this 135 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: stuff is public. I bet you after the next election cycle, 136 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: or maybe even this past one, if you did some 137 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: digging through the FEC files, you would find some very 138 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: interesting campaign donations to a mister Jamal Bowman. That's why, 139 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you go on these pr tours. 140 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: That's the state of politics, and when you get to 141 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: a late stage republic, it gets ugly. But you know, 142 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: moving off of money, let's do keep in mind in 143 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: the end it's about power because power is what gets 144 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: you more money. And I have to laugh. I laugh 145 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: every time. You remember, after the midterms, we were all 146 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: expecting a red wave, myself included. Instead, we got a 147 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: red dribble, the little red drip, and it was horrible. 148 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: We were all down and out about it. I sucked. 149 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: And you remember the establishment types. I remember, like it 150 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: was yesterday, Mitch McConnell and those guys got up and 151 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: told you it's about candidate quality. It's definitely Canada quality. Guys. 152 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: We hear that all the time. Then what are they saying. 153 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: What are they saying is well, you guys keep nominating 154 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: these far right ichies. If you would just get some weak, 155 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: low TGP types, then they'd get elected. That's always what 156 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: they're saying when they talk about Canada quality, right, which 157 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: really makes me laugh. Because John Fatterman's a US Senator. 158 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 4: I called it this hearing of the US Senate sub 159 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: Committee and Food and Nutrition Special REPS, Organics and Research 160 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 4: to Order. I thank you for your leadership on this committee, 161 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 4: and I look forward to working with you to pass 162 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: a farm bill. We need to come together and stop 163 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 4: playing political games with Americans access to food. Americans like 164 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 4: chair about Chlory Jor from the nowth to the town 165 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 4: of Northeast in Pennsylvania tells me that his victim was skimming, 166 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 4: which was when somebody stole money and he relied from 167 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 4: its snap ebt.

Then the dollars going bye bye 185 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: as being the world's reserve currency at some point in time. 186 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: And what are you going to do about what it? 187 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: Can you do about it? You're just a citizen. I'm 188 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: just a citizen. What are we going to do? Well, 189 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: no matter what they do, they can't destroy the value 190 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: of my gold and silver. They can't destroy the value 191 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: of your gold and silver. Things you can touch and feel. 192 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: That's the value we need to be accumulating.

You recently, 201 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 5: relatively recently left CNN and clear they kind of pushed 202 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 5: you out as they as they announced they were. 203 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: I've embraced the f wor Dan fired. You got fired. 204 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: Why do you think you got fired? I don't know, Really, 205 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: you really don't know. I really truly don't know. 206 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 2: I think we were doing really fantastic journalism at CNN 207 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: for the nine years that I was there. 208 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: Fantastic journalism. Absolutely. See what Steve has to say about that. 209 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: Joining me now, Steve krackour editor of Fourth Watch Media, 210 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: an author of the book Uncovered. Hey, Steve, Brian doesn't 211 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: know why he was fired. Man, he was just out 212 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: there bringing the journalism every single day and they let 213 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: him go. I don't know why they would do that 214 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: to such a such a man of integrity. 215 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess if he continued on and said, I 216 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 6: don't know why I was fired, and yet Don Lemon 217 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 6: and Jim Acosta and Breonna Keeler and so many others 218 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 6: have not been that, then I can understand where he's 219 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 6: coming from, because I do think that in some ways 220 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 6: Brian was a bit of a fall guy for the 221 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 6: old administration. You know, Brian was most connected to the 222 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 6: Jeff Zucker administration, the Jeff Zucker era, which is gone 223 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 6: now there's new bosses. They've been there for about a year, 224 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 6: and Brian is really one of the only notable names 225 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 6: who is no longer there. You know, a couple contributors 226 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 6: here and there that John Harwood's up the world, but 227 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 6: there's a lot of people from that old era that 228 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 6: were doing good journalism then not really doing great journalism now, 229 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 6: and they remain at CNN. Brian though you know, he's 230 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 6: there talking to Dan Abram's over on News Nation. 231 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: Okay, help me understand, Steve, because I had heard same 232 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: things you were hearing when Brian got the acts and 233 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: before he got the acts, that there was new management 234 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: now and they're gonna clean now, so we're gonna look 235 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: at this, We're gonna just totally revamp the whole network. 236 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: And like you pointed out, that loser Don Lemon is 237 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: still there. He might be one of the dumbest people 238 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: walking the planet and he can't quit screwing up and 239 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: he still has a show. Why has there not been 240 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: more turnover? 241 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 7: Yeah? 242 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 6: I Don Lemon got his butt handed to him by 243 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 6: vivag Ramaswami this week in what felt like the nail 244 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 6: in the coffin to me, although I've said that multiple times, 245 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 6: and Don Lemon just remains is like the guy who 246 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 6: just cannot lose a job, apparently, although he has been 247 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 6: relegated from the primetime area to the morning show that 248 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 6: no one's watching, and he's just one of three hosts there. 249 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 6: So he's been slightly getting demoted and demoted and eventually 250 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 6: will be out the door. I'm very confident of that, 251 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 6: but not happening yet. Yeah, it's been a year here. 252 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 6: I think the cynic in me would say that it 253 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 6: is very hard to turn over a news network, and 254 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 6: so you've got to do it strategically and slowly, and 255 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 6: a couple of years down the road, we'll say, oh, 256 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 6: remember CNN looks completely different now. 257 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: But no, you're right. 258 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 6: As of this moment, it's like the Titanic and they're 259 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 6: literally just rearranging the deck chairs. It's like, oh, let's 260 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 6: take this person and pair them with this person. They're 261 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 6: the same people. It's not a lot changing there. And 262 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 6: so as Donald Trump begins another run. And we know 263 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 6: that Donald Trump era was so bad for the journalistic 264 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 6: standards of CNN, I don't see it changing massively yet. 265 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: I hope it does. I really do bad for the standards, 266 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: good for ratings though. He was interesting because they could 267 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: not be You know what else I found interesting was 268 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: the media's response to the Fox News dominion suit. Well, 269 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: here was some of it. I'm sorry, this is going 270 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: to be difficult to say with a straight face. 271 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 5: This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. 272 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: We are hopeful that are just sorry. 273 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 8: I know that there are a lot of people that 274 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 8: wanted this process to take place in court because outside 275 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 8: the you know, the media define case, this was also 276 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 8: a really to some extent, a trial built about made 277 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 8: about democracy and democracy at large and elections. So you know, 278 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 8: this is going to avert all of that. It's going 279 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 8: to say Fox, I think a lot more added embarrassment. 280 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: Steve, you know, call me a nutball, but I can't 281 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: help but wonder these people seem to be taking a 282 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: lot of glee in a news organization being held to 283 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: account by a private corporation for things they've told on 284 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: the air, for things they said on the air. The 285 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: CNN does realize they lie for a living right about everyone. 286 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: You're absolutely right, and forgive me for a second to 287 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 6: just go back Jake Tapper, solid journalist, not a good actor. 288 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: That is just embarrassing. 289 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 6: And then Oliver Darcy, I mean I completely forgot about him. 290 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 6: I mean he's like significantly worse from Brian Selter. As 291 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 6: we're going through all the people, he's still there. He's 292 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 6: their media guy. Now, I mean, it's just ah and 293 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 6: you're knowing his way through a terrible segment that you 294 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 6: know clearly someone put together for him about theocracy, Like 295 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 6: give me a break. Yeah, No, these people the CNNs 296 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 6: of the world. But beyond that, New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, 297 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 6: everyone who's taking glee in what's happening here, this giant 298 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 6: seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars settlement. They do 299 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 6: not seem to understand the chilling effect that this will 300 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 6: have on them. Now, in some cases it will be 301 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 6: just the reverse, So it'll be people on the right 302 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 6: who feel that they were smeared correctly, lies were told 303 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 6: about them, will become much more litigious and will sue 304 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 6: them for all sorts of reasons, just like we saw 305 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 6: in Nick Sandman and the Covington High School case, suing 306 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 6: places like CNN and coming to a settlement, just like 307 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 6: is happening here. Not so much money. We don't know 308 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 6: how much money it was settled for. So this is 309 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 6: going to continue to happen. And I don't think they 310 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 6: clearly understand that this is bad not just for the 311 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 6: Fox News is of the world. It's bad for them, 312 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 6: it's bad for the First Amendment, and they're just their 313 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 6: hatred of Fox, their hatred of anything on the right 314 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 6: these days, overcomes them with emotion, and they just cannot 315 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 6: see the reality of what this will do for their industry. 316 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: BuzzFeed News is no longer with us, apparently. I saw 317 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: that headline today. What do we make of that. I 318 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever read BuzzFeed News. Maybe that's the problem. 319 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I have to say, I think this is really 320 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 6: an interesting moment here. BuzzFeed was one of two outlets, 321 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 6: BuzzFeed and Business Insider, that have made it a point 322 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 6: that they are now publishing articles using artificial intelligence AI. 323 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 6: BuzzFeed News shuts down today, Insider announces today they're cutting 324 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 6: staff by ten percent. I don't think these are unrelated. 325 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 6: I think that there is a real shift that's happening 326 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 6: where if you're a good journalist or let's say, an 327 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 6: interesting commentator, if you've got unique points of view, or 328 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 6: you're bringing something exclusive to the table, you've got great sources, 329 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 6: you should be fined as AI becomes the norm in 330 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 6: our society. But if you're a bad journalist, if you're boring, 331 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 6: if you bring nothing to this table except aggregation, you 332 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 6: will probably lose your job. And I think that's what's 333 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 6: happening here with BuzzFeed Insider, and it's only the beginning. 334 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 6: I mean, this is a really perilous time for the 335 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 6: bad to marginally good journalists that make up so much 336 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 6: of the industry these days. The laziness they're going to 337 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 6: get just completely weeded out. 338 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: Steve this Pentagon leaguers story. I don't trust anything anymore, 339 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: and that's because I've been lied to by all these 340 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: entities for so long. So I don't trust anything. I 341 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: don't trust that this was the guy. Maybe he was 342 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: the guy, I don't know. I just don't trust it. 343 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: I don't trust that he was working alone. Maybe he was, 344 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: but I don't know. And that's really the damage that's 345 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: done when you lose trust in all these institutions. I 346 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: don't trust the Pentagon, I don't trust the media. I 347 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: don't trust anyone. Yeah. 348 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 6: I think what's really most interesting to me and makes 349 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 6: me not trust the media the places like the New 350 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 6: York Times and the Washington Post that used to really 351 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 6: relish when they got a leak. I compared this in 352 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 6: Fourth Watch the other day to Politico's exclusive reporting that 353 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 6: was thanks to the leak out of the Supreme Court, 354 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 6: which was the Dobbs decision. Now I'm very curious who 355 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 6: that Dobs leaker was, but I get the instinct by 356 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 6: the media to keep that silent, so to you know, basically, 357 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 6: you know, go to bad in protecting the leaker, because 358 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 6: that's sort of a journalistic tenant. This is the opposite 359 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 6: effect the New York Times and the Washington Post where 360 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 6: the Keystone cops in trying to track down this person. 361 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 6: They're sitting there behind their laptops like these social media salutes, 362 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 6: trying to figure out, like crack the case. That is 363 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 6: completely bizarre because at the bare minimum, we know, thanks 364 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 6: to reporting in places like the New York Times, that 365 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 6: what was in those leak documents show that the Biden 366 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 6: administration was not being truthful with the American people about 367 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 6: what's happening in Ukraine, what's happening across in South Korea, 368 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 6: in Israel, and so we know that there is actual information, 369 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 6: actual value that we learned from these leaks, and yet 370 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 6: they want to track down the leaker and come up 371 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 6: with the identity in conjunction with the FBI. That's a 372 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 6: really weird time and it should raise eyebrows of everybody 373 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 6: about where the press is aligned these days. 374 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: Well, the system only exists to protect itself. Steve, thank you, brother, 375 00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Hey, Jesse, thanks speaking of the Pentagon 376 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: to address a couple of military things and something else 377 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: that's probably going to be a little bit uncomfortable. Before 378 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: we get to that, let's get to this. I have 379 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: had some rough phone calls and text messages, especially in 380 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: last year or two, with veteran friends of mine. This 381 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: is a time, because of a lot of things, the 382 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: Afghanistan pull out and the direction of the military's gone, 383 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: where veterans who were already struggling are now uniquely disillusioned 384 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: with the country itself, the military country itself, and with themselves, 385 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: with their lot in life, their purpose in life. It's 386 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: a very very difficult time right now for these guys. 387 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: We need to make sure we're reaching out. We need 388 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: to make sure we're helping whenever we can and if 389 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: they need it. We need to make sure we're getting 390 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: these guys into Bouldercrest. Boldercrest is taking these guys in, 391 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: guys who are struggling with that transition from military man 392 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: to civilian, and they're bringing them back. Saving lives is 393 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: what they're doing a bolder crest. They're saving lives. We 394 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: need to support them in that mission. Our veterans deserve that. 395 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Do they not Go to Bouldercrest dot org and donate. 396 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Please give whatever you can give Bouldercrest dot org. We'll 397 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: be back. We'll get to the Afghanistan stuff in just 398 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: a second. I just feel obligated to say something that 399 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: might be a little bit hard to hear. Ah. Obviously, 400 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: you remember the Trump indictment in New York City, and 401 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm getting a sense of something. In fact, I got 402 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: a sense of it right away, almost right away, as 403 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: soon as the indictment was announced. Then he got indicted. 404 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: I'm getting a sense of something. I'm getting a sense 405 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: that the right is under the impression that this is 406 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: so ridiculous that it's going to go away and not 407 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: going in and it's not going anywhere. And don't get 408 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: me wrong, it is beyond ridiculous. It is beyond unjust 409 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: and wrong. What they're doing to Trump, ridiculous charges. The 410 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: whole thing is absurd. So it is ridiculous. But Donald 411 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: Trump was in very serious trouble, legal trouble, not because 412 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: he did anything wrong, because we have parts of this 413 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: nation now, new York City being one of those, that 414 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: are wholly controlled by communists at every level. This is 415 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: why I warned you a long time before he was 416 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: indicted in New York. I came on here and I 417 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: warned you Trump's in very serious trouble in New York. 418 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: And why did I tell you that? Because at no 419 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: level when you're in New York City, you're in Manhattan. 420 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: If you start at the bottom rung of political power, 421 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: at no point when you start climbing that ladder will 422 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: you win counter anyone who will or even can stop 423 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: the communists at the bottom from tearing Trump apart. If 424 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: you're sitting there telling me, oh, you didn't do anything wrong, Okay, 425 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: that's not the point. You don't understand. Why are you 426 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: telling me that I know he didn't do anything wrong. 427 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: That means nothing, not in a communist run area that 428 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: wants to burn him. Set aside what he did or 429 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: didn't do, that doesn't matter. I need you to tell 430 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: me who's going to stop it. You know Congress can't 431 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: stop it, right, Alvin Bragg is going to have a 432 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: change of heart. Is that what you think? Do you 433 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: think the full blown communist Letitia James, the State Age 434 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: of New York. Do you think she's going to step 435 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: in and stop it, Kathy Hokel. Governor Eric Adams the 436 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: mayor who's going to stop it? 437 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 9: Oh, Jesse. 438 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: But if it goes to trial, he'll be fine. Do 439 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: you have any idea the percentage of Democrats versus Republicans 440 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: in Manhattan where that trial going to be held over 441 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: eighty percent Democrats. Do you know that Democrats in this 442 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: country do genuinely believe Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler? You 443 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: think a jury of twelve is going to be made 444 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: up of anyone but communist afforaticks who've been dying to 445 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: throw Trump against the wall forever. Donald Trump is in 446 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: serious legal trouble and we haven't even gotten to the 447 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: DOJ where he'll be tried in DC, maybe even Georgia 448 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: as well. Atlanta is the same thing here. I'm not 449 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: saying this to scare you. I'm saying this because I 450 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,239 Speaker 1: really feel like our side kind of shrugged shoulders and 451 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: moved on here and just kind of thought, oh wow, 452 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: these charges are crazy. And even some of the liberals 453 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: are saying charges are crazy. That's ridiculous. I think Donald 454 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: Trump's going to jail. I do, and that's a freaking 455 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: horrible place to be, but I do. It's late stage republic. 456 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: That's the way it goes in a late stage republic. 457 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: You can tell we're in a late stage republic. The 458 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: evidence is everywhere. You can tell by military accountability. We've 459 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: had this discussion before on the show. Historically, if you're 460 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: a military commander of any kind and you have a 461 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: failure on the battlefield, there are severe consequences. Resign fired. 462 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: Some societies, they'll torture you and kill you, not even 463 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: for malicious things, just a bad mistake. Many societies throughout history, 464 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: you'll die for school ups. Well, we just had a 465 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: report on Afghanistan, you know, the twenty year war, thousands 466 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: of lives, thousands of nimed, who knows how many dollars 467 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: at this point in time, that ended in a horrific, 468 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: embarrassing failure with thirteen of our warriors killed needlessly. And 469 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: then we responded to that by drone striking ten innocent people, 470 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: six of whom were children. Well, they decided they were 471 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: going to do a big write up to a big 472 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: report on that, and surely somebody is going to resigned, 473 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: get fired, right heads, half the role, maybe even some 474 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: prison time for somebody. Someone's going to go to prison, surely, right, Well, No, 475 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: in a normal country, yes, but not in a late 476 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: stage republic. 477 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 10: And he inherited a deal struck between the previous administration 478 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 10: and the Taliban that called for the complete removal of 479 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 10: all US troops by May of twenty twenty one, or 480 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 10: else the Taliban, which had stopped its attacks while a 481 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 10: deal was in place, we'd go back to war against 482 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 10: the United States. That stuff belonged to the Afghans. And 483 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 10: so this idea, this argument is just ludicrous that we 484 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 10: left millions of dollars of stuff in Afghanistan. We didn't. 485 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 10: And so for all this talk of chaos, I just 486 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 10: didn't see it, not for my purchase. 487 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: Yep.

You can't make your own dog food. 516 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: That they make dog food and they kill everything in it, 517 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: so there's no nutrition left in it. It's all dead. 518 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: That's why you need rough Greens. You don't have to 519 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: change food. Your dog likes his food.

What we decided to do 536 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 13: is not call attention to it, because when you call 537 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 13: attention to it, then the questions are asked. And I 538 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 13: really believe that you can do more good under the 539 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 13: rain heart. What else do you have to relabel or 540 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 13: non label like that? 541 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 14: I think, I think really uh CRT social motion. 542 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: We just have to avoid that words, you know, the labels. 543 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: We could still do the content, just label. 544 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 12: I get people that say, I don't like that to 545 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 12: my child, and the child is transgender in the book, 546 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 12: and you know I should have been asked permission for that. 547 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 12: I'm like, no, yeah, ask permission if we can read 548 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 12: a nice piece of literature, that should practices to families. 549 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 12: So we have all gender bathrooms, you know, yeah, even 550 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 12: the elementary level. 551 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: I gu said. 552 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 12: Sometimes I get parents that aren't thrilled with some of 553 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 12: the decisions we make. But but that's that's what we 554 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 12: believe in, or you know, really about equity for all kids. 555 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: Man, those blue areas that had to be I must 556 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: have been New York City, I bet, or maybe San Francisco, 557 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: I bet it was. Let's ask Casey about it. Joining 558 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: me now, Casey hendrickson Radio host on the Great ninety 559 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: five point three and see Casey, which part of California 560 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: was that? 561 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 15: Yeah, tell me about it, Red state Indiana. Right, this 562 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 15: is the thing. This is everywhere. We need people to 563 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 15: understand that, Jesse, This is everywhere in the country. And yes, 564 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 15: they start off in those blue urban areas, but then 565 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 15: they start to expand out into the suburbs, and then 566 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 15: they find the elite school districts, and then they weasel 567 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 15: their way into the elite school districts in there. You know, 568 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 15: two of those school districts that were in that video 569 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 15: are in my listening audience. And we had been talking 570 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 15: about this for years. And the weird thing about this 571 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 15: is that there's actually, you know, really one or two 572 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 15: school districts in the area that these all seem to 573 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 15: permeate from. It's almost like the Belichick coaching branch in 574 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,479 Speaker 15: the NFL, you know, had all of these coaches. Now 575 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 15: they're all head coaches around the league. It's pretty much 576 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 15: the same thing. So pen Harris Madison starts teaching critical 577 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 15: race theory, they of course deny it. We have the 578 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 15: lesson plans that are directly from the CRT handbook. They 579 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 15: then deny it teachers then admit, yeah, we're totally teaching 580 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 15: critical race theory in the classroom. Here's my senior thesis 581 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 15: at IUSB on how to do that without the parents 582 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 15: knowing about it. IUSB deletes that thesis so nobody can 583 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 15: read it anymore. And then they go to these other 584 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 15: school districts and they take over those school districts. They 585 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 15: become principals, they become superintendent's assistant superintendents. 586 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: And this is how this all spreads. 587 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 15: You know, it's funny because that came out and we 588 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 15: were obviously pushing it out there in the audience because 589 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 15: there's two of those districts that are in our listening audience, 590 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 15: and you still get people after watching the video going, nah, 591 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 15: they usued a statement saying they don't teach critical race theory, 592 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 15: so it's totally not happening. 593 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: It's a myth, it's a conspiracy theory. I'm like, it's 594 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: right there. 595 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 15: You know the school district that admits to you that 596 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 15: they manufacture it, they manipulate the data, and they lie 597 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 15: to you about it. 598 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: Now they just lied to you again. You fell for 599 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: it again, Casey, What is being done? What can we 600 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: do with something being done. I'd like Indiana to stay 601 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: nice and read yeah. 602 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 15: Well, And here's the thing. The Indiana Republican Party isn't red. Okay, 603 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 15: Our party here in Saint Joseph County and in Elkhart 604 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 15: County very red, but the Indiana Republican Party is very purple. 605 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: And here's the thing. 606 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 15: I blame the Republican governors, including former Vice President Mike Pence, 607 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 15: for most of this. If you go back multiple gubernatorial administrations, 608 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 15: who did they put in as the chief executive for 609 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 15: Indiana schools? Some teachers union, you know, a favored leftist 610 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 15: person who pushed out these indoctrinating policies. 611 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: That's what's happened. 612 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 15: The Republican Party in Indiana needs to learn that they're 613 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 15: not going to be able to go along and get 614 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 15: along with crazy people in the teachers union because it's 615 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 15: not going to buy you any favors and it's hurting 616 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 15: our kids. So they are obviously they're being slipped into 617 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 15: the classroom via curriculum. It's obviously not branded as CRT. 618 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 15: That's their big plausible deniability, right, it's not CRT. We 619 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 15: don't teach tea that's the college course. What they do 620 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 15: is they take the CRT handbooks and they pluck lessons 621 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 15: from those handbooks out and they find their way into 622 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 15: the classroom an elementary school, middle school, high school, and 623 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 15: it's just a lesson from CRT right they start very 624 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 15: very young. Social Emotional Learning is another one where they 625 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 15: take tenants of CRT and they put it in Social 626 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,760 Speaker 15: and Emotional Learning DEI, which is you know, faculty training. 627 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: It's in there. 628 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 15: I got a call two years ago, and this was 629 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 15: in the middle of the summer, right before the school 630 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 15: season started, and I had an executive. I won't say 631 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 15: who they were or their position because we don't want 632 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 15: reprisals here. They called me up and they said, we 633 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 15: were at orientation for this entire school district and the 634 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 15: orientation for the whole school district is critical race theory 635 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 15: and had to implement it in the classroom. But of 636 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 15: course you got to be hush hush about it. There 637 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 15: was almost a mass exodus of principles in that school district, 638 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 15: upping and quitting at that orientation. They called me up 639 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 15: and they said, you know, we huddled together and we 640 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 15: said we can't we can't leave because if we leave, 641 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 15: they'll replace us with people who believe in this, They'll 642 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 15: put them in those schools, to put those people in 643 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 15: those classrooms, and then your kids have no buffer. I 644 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 15: do want parents to know this too, Jesse, that there 645 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 15: are a lot of faculty members at these schools who 646 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 15: are on your side. They're fighting against this in every 647 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 15: way that they possibly can without losing their jobs, and 648 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 15: they have to keep this kind of on the quiet, 649 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 15: but they are doing it. 650 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 1: You have more friends than you realize. What are parents 651 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: supposed to do? Casey? I got kids, man, I got sons, 652 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: and I would like them to not come home and 653 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: one day with a bunch of rings in their face 654 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: and tell me their women. What are parents supposed to do? 655 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 15: Yeah, this is the issue, right, And I think that 656 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 15: this is where COVID was a blessing because people like 657 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 15: you and me who are in this business, who've been 658 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 15: talking about problems in schools for a long time. Yeah, 659 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 15: sometimes you had some examples where it really highlighted that. 660 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 15: Other times we were looked upon as being crazy, insane people. 661 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 15: But then what happened during COVID is parents saw what 662 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 15: they were being taught. They had no excuse anymore to 663 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 15: not know what was happening in the classroom, and as 664 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 15: more of those parents were starting to realize what the 665 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 15: reading matter or ill was, what the lesson plans were, 666 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 15: how terrible the modern iteration of math is, they decided 667 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 15: that enough is enough, and so they started run for 668 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 15: a school board. So that's that's honestly, that's what has 669 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 15: to happen. And parents need to They got to put 670 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 15: their kids ahead of themselves. They got to put their 671 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 15: kids ahead of you know, just going along to get 672 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 15: along in the community. 673 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: And I get it. 674 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 15: People love the teachers that their kids have grown up with, 675 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 15: and some of those teachers are teachers that maybe you 676 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 15: had as a parent when you went through that school district. 677 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 15: But there comes a point in time where you have 678 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 15: to say, is that more important than making sure that 679 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 15: my kid is getting a proper education and not being 680 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 15: indoctrinated and turning turning the classroom into a politicized, you know, institution. Really, 681 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 15: any classroom that has a BLM flag or a rainbow 682 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 15: flag in it or anything like that, that teachers automatically unqualified 683 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,280 Speaker 15: to be around kids as far as I'm concerned. 684 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: All Right, man, all right, finally, Casey, I do have 685 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: to ask you, as much as I love Indiana.
