One of the frustrations I have with what 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats do is they engage in so much propaganda 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: and are so relentless that we forget what we've already learned. 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: And that's something that's going on right now, and I 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: want to dive into that today. There are things that 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: are clear to anybody who has an understanding of what 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,319 Speaker 1: has come before us, what has happened previously in this 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: country and in general. Democrats like to reject that. The 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: same way they believe they can create a utopia, they 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: also think they can create a new narrative of history 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: in order to get us there, right, So they just 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: change the facts from the past to control the facts 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: in the future.

What? 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: What figure from our past comes to mind? Everyone's already 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: saying it, that's right. I wish I could say it was, 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, the god that had a special fondness for 51 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: interns and and was just always trying to hold the 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: ladies of America close, holding real close. Maybe give a 53 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: little squeeze, just to know that they feel like he's there, 54 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, like like he's squeezing their hand. Obviously, that's 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: what That's what good old Bill Clinton would walt. He 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: just that's the only thing he'd squeeze. No, not him, 57 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, friends, that's who people are already thinking about 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden. Another guy who seemed like he was 59 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: weighing over his head, not up for the job, and 60 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: was able to create some of the things we're already 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,279 Speaker 1: seeing now. A sputtering economy, concerns about unemployment, kicking off inflation, 62 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: gas lines, our enemies thinking that we don't actually know 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: how to deal with them at home or abroad. Right, 64 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: there are so many things you look at with Carter 65 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: and Biden, and I know people are already taking it 66 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: to that next step of maybe, just maybe there's a 67 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Republican who will come in after this as our second 68 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: coming of Reagan. But for now, I just want to 69 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: say that what we are seeing to me from the 70 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Biden administration makes us ask the question, is this guy 71 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: actually captain obvious? Is this a guy Joe Biden who 72 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: seems to not know what all the rest of us know, 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: and then when he comes to the clear and obvious conclusion, 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: wants a pat on the head. Okay, it turns out 75 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: that when you are just talking about raising taxes and 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: spewing a lot of Marxist claptrap, hiring doesn't go as 77 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: well as people who are focused on only that in 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: the economy think it will. Right, you had a couple 79 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: of hundred thousand jobs outed in April instead of the 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: million jobs that dal Jones was expecting. It was at 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: least a half a million below most of the projections 82 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: that I saw, an enormous job's miss. Why would that happen? Well, 83 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: because it turns out that when you just talk about 84 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: raising taxes and spending trillions and trillions of dollars, different companies, 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: different businesses, say, how's that going to affect me? What's 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: going to happen here? Maybe I'm gonna ride this thing 87 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: out a little bit before I make any major decisions. 88 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you another example of the captain obvious administration here. 89 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: It seems that Biden is just figuring out now that 90 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: people won't work if you are paying them, won't work 91 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: if you're paying them more then they would make from working. 92 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: Biden is still pretending that this is not the case, 93 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: but it's pretty obvious using that word again. Play fourteen. 94 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: I know there's been a lot of discussions since Friday, 95 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: since Friday's report that people are being paid to stay 96 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: home rather than go to work. Well, we don't see 97 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: much evidence of that that is a major factor. We 98 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: don't see that. You look, it's easy to say the 99 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: line has been because of the generous unemployment benefits, that 100 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: it's a major factor in labor shortage. Americans want to work, 101 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: Americans want to work. Just talking points. That's where this 102 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: guy always falls into. It doesn't he's an idiot folks. 103 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: He's not a smart man. I know that. He's the 104 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: president of the United States, and the Democrats have created 105 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: this whole fiction around him. For why are we supposed 106 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: to be impressed by this guy again because he was 107 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Obama's vice president. Oh okay, that's really that's really a 108 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: game changer. This is not somebody who understands macro or microeconomics, 109 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: not somebody who's ever run a business. This is a 110 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: guy who has been delivering speeches written by other people 111 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: and spewing whatever is most popular in the moment as 112 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: a Democrat for longer than I've been alive. That's what 113 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: this guy is doing. That's all he knows how to do. 114 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: He's essentially a talking points machine that goes wherever the polls, 115 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: wherever the puppet tears around him tell him to go. 116 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: That's what Joe Biden does. It's not a leader, he's 117 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: not a thinker. Now he's the president. It's a remarkable 118 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: state of affairs. Why wouldn't people stay home if they 119 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: are receiving more pay from the government for doing nothing, 120 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: And who's to say they're doing nothing? Maybe they've got 121 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: a side hustle going. Maybe they're you know, doing some work, 122 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, under the table, or they're building out their 123 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: dream job or their dream business or whatever. Who knows. 124 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: But for a lot of folks who aren't making a 125 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: ton of money by showing up doing hourly shift work 126 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: at fast food restaurants or any number of places. For 127 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, it's a pretty clear it's a 128 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: pretty clear calculation, and it should be clear to anybody. 129 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: It should be obvious. Word of the day. What happens 130 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: when you spend trillions of dollars? What happens when you 131 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: spend trillions of dollars? You know, if you were in 132 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: economics one O one class, you'd have people who were saying, well, 133 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: you are debasing your currency. Your debasing your currency. We 134 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: are led to believe somehow that's not happening. Meanwhile, lumber 135 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: cost for home building is up, what is it, three 136 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: hunder four percent something like that, way way up. Looks 137 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: like the stock market right now, which was very high 138 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: coming into this administration, might have stalled out. And the 139 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, as a piece from earlier today, if 140 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: inflation is coming, here's what to do about it. Remember, 141 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: once inflation hits and everybody sees it too late, too late, 142 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: to really make it go away, you're going to suffer 143 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: the consequences of it. But I think we're already seeing it. 144 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: It's just the government and the people in charge of 145 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: the levers at the FED are hiding this. Food prices 146 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: going up, home building prices going up. Lumber has already 147 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: told you there are a number of things where it's 148 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: hard to hide what's really going on here. And then 149 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: there's just the overall trajectory of the economy. All Joe 150 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: Biden had to do, all the Democrats had to do 151 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: this year for us to have a booming economy was 152 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: stay the heck out of the way. That's all they 153 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: had to do. Just get out of the way. And 154 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: by get out of the way, I mean also stop 155 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: all the neuroses and all the craziness with continued lockdowns 156 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: and your mask obsession and all this stuff. Just let 157 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: businesses go do their business and let the American people 158 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: come back to their lives and their work. But no, 159 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: Democrats want They want to meddle, they want to control, 160 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: they want to dictate, and they want to spend. So 161 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: there are these these intersecting levels of obviousness that we 162 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: are seeing right now. And yes, we have. We have 163 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: gas lines, we have inflation feed years, we have a 164 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: stalled economic recovery. We have a Biden administration that is 165 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: not a surprise to any of us who were paying 166 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: attention and have been paying attention with the Democrat Party 167 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: has become. And also what Joe Biden was saying during 168 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: the campaign, and yes, the recovery is stumbling. Why is 169 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: that happening because of Joe Biden's policies. This couldn't be 170 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: any easier. You have an economy that is going through 171 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: an artificial government mandated recession because of COVID and made 172 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: it worse with the lockdowns than it would have otherwise been. Yes, 173 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: there would have been some restriction on uneconomic activity from 174 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: people who were scared and not going out as much, 175 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: but a lot of this was a function of government 176 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: policy and it was arbitrary. As we'd own it was 177 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: dumb in so many cases. Florida did not shut down. 178 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Its economy is better off, has been better off than 179 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: states like California, in New York, Texas. You've sort of 180 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: come to the party a little late with Florida, but 181 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: you're doing better than obviously other states are. But all 182 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: you have to do if you're this administration is stop 183 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: messing things up. But no, they think they're helping. This 184 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: is the classic trap of the authoritarian democrat mindset. They 185 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: believe they're making things better when all the indicators we 186 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: can see are that dumbass Democrats with Biden leading the pack, 187 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: are making everything worse. They are making it worse. They 188 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: are extending and prolonging the pain of lockdowns. They are 189 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: making people concerned about the value of the dollar, and 190 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: about what taxes and not just corporate taxes, but all 191 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: kinds of different changes to the irs code are going 192 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: to do to our economy. This is what we face now. 193 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: We can all see it, and it was all obvious 194 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: from the beginning to anybody who pays attention, who knows 195 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: history and believes that one plus one equals two. Turns 196 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: out that shutting down infrastructure projects like the Keystone XEL 197 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: pipeline for ideological reasons is a really shortsighted and stupid 198 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: thing to do. Turns out that spending trillions of dollars 199 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: sounds great to the people that are going to get 200 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: all kinds of goodies from it, but to the overall economy, 201 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: it's a disaster. When you pay people more to stay 202 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: home than to work. Guess what they do. I mean, 203 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: this does any of the surprise? Oh, when you defund police, 204 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: turns out you get a lot more violence on the streets. Gee, 205 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: who could have seen that coming? Oh that's right, absolutely everybody. 206 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: This stuff is obvious to anyone who is not delusional. 207 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: But the Democrats are the party of delusion. We don't 208 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a 209 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: major driver in people not rejoining the workforce. We actually 210 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: see the data, and our analysis shows that lack of 211 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: vaccination the lower rate, which is why I refer to 212 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: the data in the week that it was taken. It 213 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: has an impact, childcare has an impact, Schools reopening has 214 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: an impact. But there's also the need to pay a 215 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: livable working wage, and that's one of the reasons the 216 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: President will talk about that this afternoon. But as Bank 217 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: of America economists who are cited in a Bloomberg story stage, 218 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: anybody making less than thirty two thousand dollars a year 219 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: is better financially just taking the unemployment benefit. So is 220 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: the White House creating an incentive just to stay home? Well, again, 221 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: the majority of economists internally and acts externally of the 222 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: White House. Don't feel that unemployment insurance something that was 223 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: done at a time where to help unemployed people get 224 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: through a very difficult economic downturn during a pandemic is 225 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: a is the a major driver in our unemployment data. 226 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: Notice how the absurd mediocrity Jen Saki Bomb immediately does 227 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: this appeal to authority instead of engaging with the question 228 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: that Peter Doocey a Fox News who it's a great 229 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: it's a great gig, folks, to be the one person 230 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: in the West Wing, and I know there's probably a 231 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: few others. I don't know if one America's over there 232 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: these days or anyone else. But to basically be the 233 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: one guy with real access who gets to be a journalist, 234 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: isn't that amazing? You get to ask real questions, You 235 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: get to push for information and hold the administration into account, 236 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: speak truth to power. Right, these are things that all 237 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: journalists say they do when really they show up in 238 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: the West Wing and they give Biden the equivalent of 239 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: a foot massage every day. I mean, it should be 240 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: embarrassing to them, but they know that this is what 241 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: is necessary for their careers and also for the ideologically 242 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: this is where they are, This is what they actually 243 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: believe should happen. Right. So, while this is a total 244 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: abdication of journalistic integrity, yeah, it's also deeply boring from 245 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: the journos. As I said, the only member of the 246 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: White House Press Corps whoever asks a real question seems 247 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: to be Doucy for Fox News. And you can almost 248 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: hear the groans coming from the supposed guardians of our 249 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: democracy who sit around them. These legacy media journalists might 250 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: as well be wearing Harris Biden twenty twenty four hats 251 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: while they sit in the West Wing. I mean, their 252 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: fourth est state cosplay, we speak truth to power is 253 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: pathetic and grown inducing. It really is. It's just awful. 254 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: They're all they're pandering for a pat on the head 255 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: from Saki Bomb and they just gush at her every utterance. Oh, 256 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: it's amazing. Finally have somebody who speaks truth from that podium. Sure, yeah, 257 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: that's what's really going on here, oh my, And that 258 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: they can engage on the clear math. It's a math question. 259 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: How much does somebody make forty hours a week for 260 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: fifty two weeks of work? How much does somebody or 261 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: over the course of a few weeks. How much does 262 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: somebody make with the state and federal unemployment benefits that 263 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: they are currently getting thanks to the Biden administrations enormous 264 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: spending decisions. Okay, that's why you have restaurants and other 265 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: businesses who are saying, we have an employee shortage, and 266 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: to say, you just have to pay them more. Okay, 267 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: then your hamburger is going to start costing more. They're 268 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to pass this on to customers. This is 269 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: just how it works. We all know it's It's remarkable, though, 270 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: isn't it. The people who know the least about how 271 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: to run a business are the ones making the most 272 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: decisions now in the government about businesses. Not good friends, 273 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: not good a major drag on the kinds of hiring 274 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: and productivity we should be seeing. And then there's this 275 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: Colonial pipeline situation. There are gas lines already. The Colonial 276 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: pipeline was hit, the largest pipeline in North America and 277 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: was hit with a cyber attack ransomware. They think it 278 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: might originate from Russia. Now Russia was so scary into Trump, 279 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,239 Speaker 1: but now we're gonna have a very different tone about Russia. Right. 280 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: We need to we need to talk to them, and 281 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: we need to figure things out. But here is Biden 282 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: yesterday addressing this. Because this people are waiting in lines. 283 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: I mean, they're showing up at gas stations. I've been 284 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: seeing the video of this on social media. They're shown 285 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: up at gas stations told there's no gas. This happened 286 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: to me a few times when I was in West 287 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Africa a long time ago. We're show up at a 288 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: gas station they said there's no gas. Not something you 289 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: expect to happen in Virginia, South Carolina. You know you don't. 290 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: They don't expect to be driving around saying, hold on 291 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: a second, you got no gas here? What's going on? 292 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: Play clip one. Over the weekend, at my direction to 293 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: the Department of Transportation, issued in evergency order to loosen 294 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: restrictions on truck drivers in order to allow more fuel 295 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: to be transported by a tanker. We're prepared to take 296 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: additional steps depending on how quickly the company is able 297 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: to bring US pipeline back to full operational capacity. The 298 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Federal Bureau of Investigation has determined Colonials network was infected 299 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: by ransomware and it's a criminal act. Obviously, FBI released 300 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: details of the attack so others can take steps to 301 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: prevent being effective. My administration takes issue, this takes us 302 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: very seriously. We have efforts underway with the FBI and 303 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: DOJ Department Justice to disrupt and prosecute ransomware criminals, and 304 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: my administration will be pursuing a global effort of ransomware 305 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: attacks by transnational criminals who often use global money laundering 306 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: networks to carry them out. No, they don't have time, 307 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: they don't have resources to track down global money laundering 308 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: and ransomware attacks against critical US infrastructure. They have insurrectionists 309 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: to find. Why we need to go find all the insurrections. 310 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: That's what the FBI is focused on. Oh and the CIA, 311 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: as you know, is focused on other things these days 312 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: too than getting the best people. Another CIA video came 313 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: out that was pretty remarkable on recruiting who they're trying 314 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: to recruit. But on the Colonial pipeline cyber attack, nobody 315 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: really takes Joe Biden seriously when he says there will 316 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: be consequences for this, Well, maybe he should have a 317 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: government that focuses on what is important and what is necessary, 318 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: like cyber infrastructure protection. And this is within the National 319 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: Security Room. Right, So I'm not just picking one random 320 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: issue and saying why not this when it's something else. No, 321 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: how much have you heard Biden talk about climate change 322 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: is an existential threat versus how much have you heard 323 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: him talk about the need for not only pipeline cybersecurity, 324 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: more pipelines. Oh no, that's right, he xed out the 325 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: keystone XL. I am a former CIA analyst. You might 326 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: know that if you listen to the show, you're following 327 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 1: him at work. But it's been a long time, and 328 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I haven't been the agency in years, going on a 329 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: decade now, because I've been doing radio for almost ten years, 330 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: so I can tell you what it was like then, 331 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: and that it's clearly just continued in this trend of 332 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: wokeness that so many other corporations and entities and government 333 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: agencies have. But just when you thought maybe they would 334 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a change in their approach, 335 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: the official CIA YouTube account put out this video. This 336 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: is a recruitment and pr video. But here's the kind 337 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: of stuff that that they're now promoting at the Central 338 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency, which I'll tell you because I'm honest about 339 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: this stuff. There's a lot of paperwork and Latte's at 340 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: the CIA, you know, there's there's a lot of sitting 341 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: in meetings, and you got a lot got a lot 342 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: of people with soft, stubby fingers, worried more about their overtime, 343 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: and you know how soon they can get on the 344 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: highway to get back home to you know, they're they're 345 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: sixty sixty minute drive to get in or whatever. I mean. 346 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: It's it's not as glamorous and sexy as the James 347 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: Bond stuff. I can you already knew that, but I'm 348 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: just telling you there is some really interesting stuff that 349 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: goes on there there. If you want to do cool 350 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: stuff in the CIA, it is possible, but you will 351 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: constantly be surrounded by people that don't want that. I 352 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: think that excellence is suspect. That's the best way I 353 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: can put it to you, And that being mission first 354 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: in a real way is something that makes people uncomfortable. 355 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: You're supposed to go along with the bureaucracy, and because 356 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: it is a bureaucracy, you have a lot of authoritarian 357 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: leftists who spend all their time policing Hatch Act violations. 358 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: Oh you said you like Ronald Reagan as a joke 359 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: in a meeting you're not allowed to do that, you know, 360 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: and just generally harassing you. So that that's really the 361 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: mentality that you see in a lot of the ages. 362 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: It's just true. There are leftists that run the CIA, 363 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: leftists that run the State Department. And I'm sorry, but 364 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: it's the truth. And actually no, I'm not sorry. The 365 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: leftist mentality is inherently not as patriotic as it should be, 366 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: and in many cases anti patriotic. And I know that's 367 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: tough to hear because there are a lot of these 368 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: federal agencies and institutions where you'd think, shouldn't we have 369 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: superpatriots working there? We should, but we don't. A lot 370 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: of people that believe in critical race theory, a lot 371 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: of people that focus on diversity and inclusion as the 372 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: primary mission. You know, you've seen some of the stuff 373 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: even in the United States military now hurting military combat 374 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: readiness because of a politically correct agenda. And you know, 375 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: they'll trot out someone, they'll get some four star or 376 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: some retired four star. Even worse, we're just politicians and 377 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: they're all just trying to get on the board of raytheon. 378 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: So do you think that they're really worried about whether 379 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna win the next war, or they worried about 380 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: their stock options and being corporate friendly. These are speak 381 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: speaking the truth. Friends. I know some people don't want 382 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: to hear it. A lot of you are nodding your 383 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: heads though, especially if you actually served. You're saying, yep, 384 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 1: a lot of politicians with stars on their shoulders, just 385 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: the way it is, and the same things. It's even 386 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: more true at the Agency. It's even more true at 387 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: the CIA. You got a bunch of leftists running around 388 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: who view the CIA as because it has a reputation 389 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: for a kind of intellectual elitism, which is largely undeserved. Again, 390 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm telling you the truth about these places. 391 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: It's very hard to get a job at the CIA. 392 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: And I was stunned by how much mediocrity there was. 393 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: There there was there were also there were pockets of excellence. 394 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: So and there are people. And I have to say 395 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: this because I don't want you to get the wrong impression. 396 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: You know, ten percent of that building do ninety percent 397 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: of the work and of the reason why you can 398 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: sleep safely at night, so to speak. And I don't 399 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: just mean CIA, I mean the whole Intel community. And 400 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: anybody working in it. More broadly, you know, it's one 401 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: in ten people that are just there to do the 402 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: job and stop the bad guys and beat our opponents. 403 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: And then it's i'd say six out of ten who 404 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: are just showing up, do what they're told, get a paycheck. 405 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: And then three out of ten are Bernie Sanders loving 406 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: leftists who think that the intelligence community is racist unless 407 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: it focuses first and foremost on diversity inclusion. I mean, 408 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: it's a big chunk, a big chunk. And you see 409 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: this from the latest Humans of CIA video put out 410 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: from their official CIA account. This is a guy who's 411 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: an agency librarian, which is a thing. There is a 412 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: library in the CIA. Here's what he talks about his 413 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: view of being a member of the CIA mission. I 414 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: always struggled with the idea that I might not be 415 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: able to discuss my personal life at work. Imagine my 416 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: surprise when I was taking my oath at CIA and 417 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: I noticed a rainbow on then Director Brennan's lanyard, which 418 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: I later learned was designed by Angel, one of the 419 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: many employee resource groups here at the agency. I remember 420 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: being stunned. Since then, however, I've learned that far beyond 421 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: the resource groups. Inclusion is a core value here. Officers 422 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: from the top down work hard to ensure that every 423 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: single person, whatever their gender, gender identity, race, disability, or 424 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: sexual orientation, can bring their entire self to work every day. Yeah, 425 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: that's what's really important here, talking about bringing your gender 426 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: identity to work with you every day, not stopping the 427 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: Chinese from dominating the globe, or stopping the Russians from 428 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: shutting down our pipelines stealing all of our intellectual property. 429 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just wondering, at what point is it 430 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: too much? Can we all agree that we just that 431 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: it is human nature and it is in fact a 432 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: moral position to in certain jobs. I'm not going to 433 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: say all jobs, because people will fight with me over that. Fine, 434 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: In some jobs, you really just want the person who 435 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: has the greatest competency. You want the greatest competency possible. 436 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: He say, what's an example of this. You are going 437 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: to find out in a week whether your spouse survives 438 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: a very serious brain surgery because of an aneurysm. Do 439 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: you care if the brain surgeon is somebody who got 440 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: the job because of diversity and inclusion, or do you 441 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: want somebody who got the job because that person had 442 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: the highest possible MCATs, the highest ratings as a resident, 443 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: and then you know, in their specialty, and you know, 444 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: what do you want? And I would put to you 445 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: that the the CRT lunatics would say it's it's racism. 446 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: If you don't agree that we still should take into 447 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: account a person's gender, identity, skin or anything else in 448 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: this process, or you know that it's an ism of 449 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: some kind, racism, sexism, transphobia. I don't care. I'm telling 450 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: you if if it is the true and objective belief 451 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: that a person who is a transgender female living a 452 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: polyamorous lifestyle from you know where, from and the name 453 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: any country in the world, if that individual is the 454 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: best brain surgeon for my loved one, I swear to 455 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: you on all that is holy, that is who I 456 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: would want operating on my spouse. But what I don't 457 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: want is you know, uh, you know the super genius 458 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: doctor named you know John, you know John Smith or 459 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: something to be pushed aside because you know, we we 460 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: gotta have a we gotta have more inclusive brain surgery 461 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: residencies here at the hospital, and no like that. That's 462 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: and that's a central that's a central fight, a central 463 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: challenge now in society, and people white liberals on this 464 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: issue are enormous frauds because they look at you right 465 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: beyond this they no, no, it's not that's not right. 466 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. I think it's not true 467 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: that you can have the absolute best while changing standards 468 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: for diversity and inclusion reasons. They will fight you on this, 469 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: but this is this forces you to believe something that 470 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: is illogical. If all that matters is competency, that's the 471 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: end of the sentence, that's the end of the conversation. 472 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: If competency plus diversity and inclusion is what matters, you 473 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: can't say that all that matters is competency. Is this 474 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: is just a simple function of logic. But as we 475 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: see with so many other things with democrats and leftists, 476 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: logic is the enemy reason. Truth is in fact the 477 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: enemy of building the society that they think is more equitable. 478 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: And that's how you have at the CIA, people who 479 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: are are announcing how proud they are of the fact 480 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: that the CIA is now recruiting people with an eye 481 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: to making sure that they have a broad representation of 482 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: of gender identities, and and that there's a I always 483 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: want to know what is the proper what is the 484 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: proper balance of racial and ethnic diversity in a federal 485 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: institution like the CIA, because quotas, remember quotas are not allowed, 486 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: because then that's too it's too clear that you're going 487 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: to make decisions to hit those numbers. You can't have quotas. 488 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: But so then what's what's the proper amount of diversity? 489 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: And people who say this is just a principle that 490 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: doesn't influence hiring decisions are either ignorant or wrong. They 491 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: absolutely influence hiring decisions. And I've seen I've had conversations. 492 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: I have conversations actually with a person who was in 493 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: the federal government who was trying to get rid of 494 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: an employee, but that employee fell in a protected category 495 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: and it's basically impossible. And that person told me if 496 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: I had done the things that the person in the 497 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: protected category had as a federal employee, oh my butt 498 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: would have been terminated a long time ago. This is 499 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: the reality of what is going on. And I'm bringing 500 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: it up because you know, you may think that, okay, 501 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: we could we can sacrifice the CIA and the intelligence 502 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: community to the PC gods and still be okay as 503 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: a country. You feel that way about the military, because 504 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: that's happening too. You feel that way about, as I said, 505 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: brain surgeons, modern medicine, where the difference between the very 506 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: best and just okay is actually the difference between life 507 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: and death. I think that this is where we have 508 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: to really push back and understand what kind of a 509 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: country we want to live in, what kind of a 510 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: society we want going forward? Do we want a place 511 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: that rewards competency regardless of race, gender, identity, or any 512 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: other characteristic, which is gonna it's gonna mean that, yes, 513 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: you're you're going to have people who are from minority groups, 514 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: from different people who are who are trans, people who 515 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: are members of the LGBTQ community, who are at the 516 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: absolute top of their fields. And we'll know, everybody will 517 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: know that there's no other considerations involved, and so we 518 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: can all understand, we can all agree that competency is 519 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: the driving factor, or we can have one where the 520 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: Left gets to play their social engineering games and people suffer. 521 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: National security suffers, military readiness suffers. We see there's plenty 522 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: of evidence about this. They don't fight back, they don't 523 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: fight this, this critique with evidence, though they fight it 524 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: with slanders. You're a racist, you're bigot, your misogynist, you're 525 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: a transphope, whatever it may be. They just attack people 526 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: to silence them. Feels pretty Stalinist. And if you look 527 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: at the history of the Soviet Union, for example, you'll 528 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: see that Stalin's fixation on power at the expense of 529 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: those who were competent below him led to some pretty 530 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: disastrous stuff when the Soviets were actually facing a determined 531 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: enemy like the Germans got. When you hollow out your 532 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: officer corps because you're executing everybody all the time, turns 533 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: out your competency takes a nosedive. And that was a 534 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: major problem that Stalin faced, certainly in the Well and 535 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: honestly both World Wars, but he wasn't in charge in 536 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: the first one. So that's something to keep in mind 537 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: as well, that competency has long term implications in a society, 538 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: and by the time we figure out, oh, well, you 539 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: mean the Chinese, you're just building the most effective intelligence 540 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: in the terry apparatus possible and not sitting around giving 541 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: people diversity lectures be too late. When the Left figures 542 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: that out, I think these whether the people that are 543 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: complaining that he's going to be on Center Live. I 544 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: think what's going on now is like they want someone 545 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: to be one hundred percent compliant to whatever ideology they're 546 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: a part of the idea, and any deviation of that 547 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: is problematic. Whether it's because they think like I saw 548 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: an article that said Elon Musk donated one hundred and 549 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars to some charity and they called him 550 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: a cheap skate. It's hilarious. How hilarious is that? We wait, 551 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: dill they see when I'm a billionaire, get ready with 552 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: this cheap skate? No, my brother, but it's it was. 553 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: It was such a article. It's just a poorly written 554 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: knucklehead article. Yeah, it's again like you say, no one 555 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: can be wokenough. You know, I'm torn because I like 556 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: a warrior for a good cause, but I'm really in 557 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: the tactics. You're not gonna nag people into behaving right 558 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: in a way. That's you know, in fact, if you 559 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: continue with this tone, even if you're right, you'll be 560 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: very hard to hear. You can never be woke enough. 561 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: I think that's important for everyone to know and to 562 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: hear you can never be woken off. You can never 563 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: be enough of a fauci i, you can never align 564 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: yourself enough with the goals of the left to be 565 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: truly secure, because it is all about power, it's not 566 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: about principle. And if you have to be fed into 567 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: the machinery, if the cancel culture would chipper, you know 568 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: has has space for you, it's going to be a 569 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: rough day. And I see this all over the place 570 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: now in the media where people are They're no longer funny, 571 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: they're no longer dynamic, they're no longer interesting because they 572 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: can't be because they're so worried all the time. And 573 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: when you bring this up, you'll have shrill, idiot leftists 574 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: who you know, throw around their credentials from some who 575 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: gives a crap undergrad institution or maybe even columbial journalism school, 576 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,479 Speaker 1: as though that indicates they have some wisdom or something 577 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: special to add to the conversation, who say that there 578 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: is no cancel culture, there's only accountability culture. They'll say 579 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: these stupid, smug things, as if once again what is 580 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: obvious is in fact not even true to them. I mean, 581 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: I think these things are any human being who's paying 582 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: attention can figure out that there's something really stifling and 583 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: bad going on in America today, and it is coming 584 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: from the left. They want censorship, they want big tech 585 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: doing their dirty work. They want to ruin people's lives 586 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 1: as part of just their intoxication with power in our 587 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: culture and then our politics. And you have the people 588 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: that are on that side. We'll look at you and say, oh, 589 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't even know what you're talking about. That's not 590 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: even happening. You just don't want to be held accountable 591 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: for anything. And this is why Elon Musk hosting Saturday 592 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: Night Live, which is a garbage show with untalented people, 593 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: just is I would watch it if it were good. 594 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: I used to watch The Daily Show back in the 595 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: day when John Stewart hosted, even though he was a 596 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: small leftist propagandist, but he was good at it. Snls 597 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: not even good at being a bunch of woe cry babies. 598 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: They were lucky that Elon spent five minutes with them. 599 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: More and more people figuring out that what I've been 600 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: saying for a while about the need to go back 601 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: to normal is critical, including even some Democrats, some leftists 602 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: these days, and going back to normal as individuals but 603 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: also as businesses is essential.

We can't mandate people do certain things, 626 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: but we could certainly give them the best advice possible. 627 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: And the guidance that the photograment has put out is 628 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: for your safety, wearing a mask, getting vaccinated crucial. If 629 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: you haven't done either, or if you're not doing either 630 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: one of those two, you're in real trouble. But if 631 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: you've been vaccinated, you're obviously far safer. We still want 632 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: you to be as safe as possible. That's why the 633 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: indoor policy should still be masking. But clearly, if you've 634 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: been vaccinated fully and you're with folks who are also vaccinated, John, 635 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: the risk does diminish dramatically. But again, to be safe, 636 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: you could end up being a carrier not know it. 637 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: And if somebody hasn't been vaccinated or doesn't wear a mask, 638 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: guess what, there's still that potential of getting COVID. AJJS secretary, 639 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: But Sarah is just another blathering buffoon here. You know, 640 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: we never have government officials from the Biden administration even 641 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: talking about how many people have already got COVID, how 642 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: many people have been vaccinated, and so what they're insisting 643 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: on is that you have at least two hundred million people. 644 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,959 Speaker 1: It's probably more like two hundred and fifty million people 645 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: at this point should have no concerns whatsoever about this virus. 646 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: They could still get it. I understand it's possible, but 647 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: it's just unreasonable to continue to live in fear of this. Right, 648 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: just do the numbers. Thirty percent of the country is 649 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: fully vaccinated right now, a little over thirty percent, so 650 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: that's one hundred million people. Now I can't tell you 651 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: how many of those who have been infected are also 652 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: those who have been vaccinated. There's going to be some crossover, 653 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: but you've had at least one hundred and fifty million 654 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: people who have had the virus, so you gotta be 655 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: at half the country has no reasonable one hundred and 656 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: fifty million people has no reasonable fear, should have no 657 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: reasonable fear of this whatsoever. It's probably more like two 658 00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: hundred million. So two thirds of the country is basically fine. 659 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: This is just back of the envelope math. But you 660 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: can do it yourself. They tell you that thirty four 661 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,959 Speaker 1: percent I think is the number I saw this week 662 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: are vaccinated, and they will tell you that or they're 663 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: they're by their own figures, thirty million infections. They're catching 664 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 1: maybe one in five. That's one hundred and fifty million 665 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: infections over the course of the pandemic. So you're at 666 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: one hundred million vaccinations, one hundred and fifty million infections. 667 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: At least fifty million more people with natural immunity than 668 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: have infections. So we're getting to a big chunk of 669 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: the country that doesn't have to worry about this anymore, 670 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: but they want us all to worry about it. All 671 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: of you have to mask, all of you to do 672 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:45,919 Speaker 1: these things. You know, it's just it's not working, it's 673 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: not smart, and they want to continue this. You think 674 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: that vaccine passports have gone away. No, the HHS SECT 675 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: remember this Health and Human Services. This is an agency 676 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: that has weight to throw around on this issue. AJJ Secretary. 677 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: But Sarah is saying that, you know, maybe we do 678 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: have to ban people from buildings who have not gotten 679 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: the shot play eight. How do we get to a 680 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: point where we get everyone to be as safe as possible? 681 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: You know, it was always difficult to get people on 682 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: motorcycles to wear helmets for their own safety. It was 683 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: tough at times to get people to wear seat belts 684 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: for their own safety. What we're simply saying is the 685 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: best guidance from those who are the experts in healthcare 686 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 1: is be as safe as possible by wearing a mask, 687 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: even if you're vaccinated. But yeah, if you're vaccinated, you're 688 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: around people who are vaccinated, Clearly you're going to be 689 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: far better off. It's a matter of just it's a 690 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: matter of being using common sense. John and I can't 691 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: tell you more than that, other than we want every 692 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: American to be safe, and we want every American to 693 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: get vaccinated. And the more we do that, the more 694 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: we can say every American can stop having to worry 695 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: about wearing a mask. So is it a choice? Are 696 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: you making us? Because you're making us, but you're pretending 697 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: it's a choice. And is it based on Dana or 698 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: is it based on your unreasonable fear in your desire 699 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: for control? Which one is it? Be? Sarah, That's what 700 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: you really should ask the Biden administration. They can't have 701 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: it both ways. You know, we're just encouraging you to 702 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: be safer. No, you're not. You're making us You try 703 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: to get on an airplane right now without a mask, 704 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: they will remove you, and they will ban you from 705 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: that airline forever, they say, and they'll point to the 706 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: federal government. You know who's really responsible for this too? 707 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: Our businesses afraid of being fined or being sued, or 708 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: do businesses really want to harass every customer who comes 709 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: in to wear a mask? At this point, which one is? It? 710 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: Just wondering. They don't have an answer for you. It's 711 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: stunning to watch this play out, and they've ignored all 712 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: they've ignored all of what we saw over the wintertime. Remember, 713 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: why do we go to two masks in January? Why 714 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 1: did that really happen? If you believe it happened because 715 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: they did some new, really high end testing on double masking, 716 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: you're just not very smart. Why did they do it? 717 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: We all know, you know you're listening to this show 718 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 1: because masks were not working the way they told us 719 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: they would. That's it. It's obvious. They can yell at 720 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: me and say everything else they want. What they're gonna 721 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: do now is say that you know there was a 722 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: time when they would tell us that masks were more 723 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: effective than even the vaccine. Remember the CDC director said 724 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 1: that I would even say that this mask is more 725 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: effective than a vaccine. Redfield. The guy was a moron, 726 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: but he said that in front of Congress, no less, 727 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: which is idiotic. Yeah, do I think that, you know, 728 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: masks may end up preventing something like you know, or 729 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 1: maybe useful in one percent of case reduction or something 730 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: along the lines that we've actually seen from mask mandates. 731 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 1: That's what they think, and that's within the margin of errors. 732 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: You know, maybe is it worth it to harass the 733 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 1: entire country and put us all through this for No, 734 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: it is not. It's not. That's the problem. See that 735 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: that's the difference in approach to all this. You know. 736 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: They say, oh, well, you don't listen. I had to 737 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: mask up in New York here all the time, did 738 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: it didn't. Didn't end up with anything other than me 739 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,959 Speaker 1: getting COVID. I got COVID. So oh, but it's gonna 740 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: protect you, it's gonna protect you. No, it didn't. It didn't. 741 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: And there's a reason why this was not policy for 742 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: dealing with dealing with respiratory viruses until until twenty twenty 743 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: we all know that too, right, it's so obvious that 744 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: nobody thought this was obvious until like five minutes ago. Yeah, 745 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,720 Speaker 1: think it through, folks, we all know. We all see 746 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: even on this issue. Lemon and Cuomo over at CNN. 747 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: Oh wait, I gotta tell you this is great. You 748 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: know CNN has lost as of I think it was 749 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 1: last Friday, the most recent for this past Friday's ratings 750 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 1: plus two thirds of their audience from January. You just 751 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: you can't watch these complete frauds who have nothing interesting 752 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: to say, who have no insights to offer whatsoever. I mean, 753 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,720 Speaker 1: they're just what they would call them the UK newsreaders, really, 754 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: and they read off the prompter, They ask a couple 755 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: of dumb questions, they tell the audience what they think 756 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,879 Speaker 1: they want to hear. It's not interesting. I mean, it's 757 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: deeply boring to watch people try to prop up the 758 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: Biden administration. I think that is clear. I think that's ombious. 759 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing. That is what is playing 760 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 1: out before US year. And so even Democrats are at 761 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: least going to MSNBC. They want the real, unadulterated leftist 762 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: radical perspective on America. Right, they want the actual activist 763 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: socialist left ethos reflected in their news which they get 764 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,240 Speaker 1: from MSNBC. It's crazy, but at least there's an honesty 765 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: to it, whereas it CNN there's still oh, we're just journalists, 766 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: we're just journals. We're just providing you with the truth. 767 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: In any moment. Now there could be another insurrection. You 768 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: gotta be scared, mask up and get ready for the insurrection. 769 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: It's just bad content. It's not worth listening. You don't 770 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: learn anything. It's certainly not true. But that's what they 771 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: do over there, plenty of it. Lemon and Cuomo agreeing 772 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:32,280 Speaker 1: though that this whole keep doing all the dumbass stuff 773 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 1: we have to do, even after you're fully vaccinated. This 774 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,879 Speaker 1: is a big problem. You don't say play six. If 775 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: you were going to say, I believe in the science 776 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: and the scientists, then now on this side of the pandemic, 777 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,439 Speaker 1: then you must believe in the science and scientists as well. 778 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: I agree, saying to you, if you're fully vaccinated, you 779 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 1: don't have to wear a mask outside. If you want 780 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: to travel, you can wear a mask, follow the protocols. 781 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: But it is ninety nine point nine nine or whatever 782 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: percent chances that you won't get you won't get COVID, 783 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: then you should trust in that science as well and 784 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 1: get back to your life. I could walk out of 785 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: here and get hit by a bus. I want to 786 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: live my life. I want to see my loved ones. 787 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: So can we get back to some semblance of normalcy? 788 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 1: And we cannot be afraid to go back into normal 789 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: with you? But I willie help me argue one to 790 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: five logic. I'll argue one point for your mom. Okay, 791 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:33,479 Speaker 1: this messaging about the vaccine has not been good enough. 792 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: They still make you feel like it's not like every 793 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: other vaccine that you've ever had in your life, where 794 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,280 Speaker 1: you may still get it. You should still wear a mask. 795 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: You still have enough to be contagious, you can still 796 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: spread it. You know. I get white people like your 797 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: mom and my mom. Yeah, did not feel the confidence 798 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,880 Speaker 1: that we were supposed to have in getting this vaccine messaging. 799 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 1: And I still don't think they're allowing the numbers and 800 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: the science to rule, and they're giving people with vaccines 801 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: even more latitude, especially now that you have people who 802 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,720 Speaker 1: don't want to get it. I know, I just trashed 803 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,399 Speaker 1: CNN and they deserve it. But what they said here 804 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 1: is pretty much correct. So I'm just gonna know. I 805 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: always tell you credit words due. Yes, yes, this is idiocy. 806 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: Let's call it what is. Let's be clear about this. 807 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: Let's not use the terminology they want. This notion that 808 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: you're supposed to keep on doing this stuff where you're 809 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: always are you afraid of getting measles? Well, you've had 810 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: the MMR vaccination most likely if you went to public school, 811 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: you certainly had to get You walk around afraid of 812 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: getting measles? No? No, And I understand that what the 813 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: lockdown left would say, it's oh, but there's not a 814 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: lot of measles out there, and everything goes yeah, but 815 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: that's because people who get the shot don't get measles. 816 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: It's because it works. That's how we got to this place. 817 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: So on an individual basis, yes, you don't really have 818 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: to worry. And yes, on an individual basis, or if 819 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: you if you look at the number breakthrough infections are 820 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 1: not substantial enough to continue to perpetuate this. So it 821 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: is a reasonable cost to incur to have breakthrough infections 822 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: that the vaccinated in order to get more people who 823 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,240 Speaker 1: are willing to get the shot to go back to life. Faster. 824 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: But here's the other problem that they won't really talk 825 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: to you about, and they won't say it. The left 826 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: is not willing, the Democrats, the Biden administration is not 827 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 1: willing to let this go. For those of you who 828 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 1: don't ever want to get vaccinated, I know there are 829 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,280 Speaker 1: a lot of you, and there's a sound argument, especially 830 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: for those who are infected or at low risk, why 831 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: should I get You want to get vaccinated, go get vaccent. 832 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: Why should I have to get vaccinated? You know that 833 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 1: this goes right to the heart of the issue. They're 834 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: not going to just let it go, not under this 835 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: Biden administration. So this fight will continue on in that way. 836 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 1: If they really wanted people though to get this they 837 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 1: get this shot and get it over with, they would say, okay, 838 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 1: if you at the shot, you'll go. But then they 839 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: lose control because a lot of people who won't get 840 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 1: the shot will say, well, I've been vaccinated, and that 841 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: would happen. I'm telling you, I think that on balance, 842 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: it would be better if those people. It would be 843 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: better if people believe that they had their normal lives back. 844 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 1: It'd also be more scientific and more reasonable to have 845 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: the normal lives back post vaccination, and then we can 846 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,359 Speaker 1: deal with Okay, if you don't want to get shot, 847 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: let's see what ends up happening. I think a lot 848 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: of I think it's greatly overstated that we have to 849 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: worry about people from this virus who aren't in the 850 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: high risk category. That's really what this comes down to. 851 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: You know, if we get ninety percent of seniors sixty 852 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 1: five and over vaccinated, this thing is done. For all 853 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: intents and purposes. We should not even thinking about this anymore. 854 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 1: It's like the flu. It's manageable. We go about our lives. 855 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 1: That's a reasonable perspective on this, instead of we have 856 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: the fauciite insanity which they're always gonna keep moving the 857 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 1: goal post. It's never gonna end, folks, unless we make 858 00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 1: it in
