They travel in 7 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 4: two cars, one marked with the flag of the Humanitarian 8 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 4: Organization before they're hit by IDF airstrikes. 9 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: WCK in real time, we're able to verify that vehicle 10 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: was not connected to the organization in any way, which 11 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: means those tears for using that as a disguise for their. 12 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: Terror inside Gaza. 13 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 4: Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple areas of the enclave over the 14 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 4: past twenty four hours, killing dozens of Palestinian civilians. 15 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 5: Okay, So in spite of that, it's absolutely documented, undeniable 16 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 5: that Hamas guys were masquerading as. 17 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 3: Food belief guys. 18 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 5: NPR considers it completely impossible that they would impersonate journalists, 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 5: or at least that's what they're saying in this sence, 20 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 5: and those views are supported practically to a person by 21 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 5: the American left and a lot of the left in 22 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 5: a lot of the Western world. What the hell is 23 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 5: going on? To quote Eli Lake, who's a brilliant writer 24 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 5: in the West, the politics of the Gaza war feature 25 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 5: a strange marriage between political Islam and the twenty first 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 5: century Western left, for instance. 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: The Democratic Socialists of America. 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 5: This is Mumdani's crew simultaneously support making New York a 29 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 5: national hub for a transgender medicine and want to globalize 30 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 5: the intefada. 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a good point. 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 5: It support, It supports the bleeding edge of social progressive 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 5: values while throwing its full support behind the fanatic fascists 34 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 5: who filmed their mass murder of Jews and probably posted 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 5: the videos to telegram. And Lake in an absolutely fabulous 36 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 5: piece that will post I think you might get paywalled, 37 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 5: but maybe not, talks about how the what's called the 38 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 5: red Green alliance among people who think about this sort 39 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 5: of thing, how it came up, and it really came up, 40 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 5: and yes. 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: He was red in who's green here? 42 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 5: Reds is and communists in green, the color of Hamas 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 5: and radical Islam and various thank you for asking for 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 5: the clarification to hit for the room. Anyway, A lot 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 5: of this arose during Iran's Islamic Revolution, in nineteen seventy 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 5: eight and seventy nine, and he goes into and it's 47 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 5: so interesting the details of how Ayatola Komeni, who is 48 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 5: in exile in France, started giving all sorts of really 49 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 5: carefully controlled interviews to American and European media outlets, and 50 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 5: how they're on this pr campaign to convince the West 51 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 5: that he's a reasonable fellow. 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: In fact, he's really for democracy, and Lake is writing. 53 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 5: Anybody who spent ten minutes looking into Komaney knew that 54 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 5: he was a hardcore is Lomiest monster. You didn't even 55 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 5: have to try to figure it out. But the left 56 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 5: of American journalism, in Western journalism, and some folks like 57 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 5: in the Carter administration became completely convinced and touted in 58 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: the face of all of this that no, he was 59 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 5: actually a really good guy. Richard Falk, a Princeton professor 60 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 5: of international law who met with Gomany during. 61 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: His exile outside of Paris. 62 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 5: Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter's ambassador to the United Nations, told 63 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 5: reporters that the Iotola will eventually be regarded as a 64 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 5: saint like this folk, the Princeton professor, And because people 65 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 5: were saying there were some on the right who said, look, 66 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 5: this guy's a reactionary and a terrorist. And he said, 67 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 5: to suppose that Iotola Komani is disassembling seems almost beyond belief. 68 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: His political style is to express his real views. 69 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 5: Defiantly and without apology, regardless of consequences. 70 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. 71 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 5: Thus the depiction of him as a fanatical reactionary and 72 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 5: the bearer of crude prejudices seemed certainly and happily false. 73 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 5: And what is also encouraging is that as entourage of 74 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 5: close advisors is uniformly composed of moderate progressive individuals. 75 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: I know you and Eli Lake are about to explain 76 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: to me why. But is it just as simple as 77 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and my 78 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: enemy is mean the United States, So somebody who doesn't 79 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: like us is good. 80 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: To I like. 81 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 5: Right, There's more to it than that. But yeah, the 82 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 5: very short version of it is essentially, wait a minute, 83 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 5: you want to overthrow Western civilization. I want to overthrow 84 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 5: Western civilization. You want to impose Islamism, but I want 85 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 5: to impose Marxism. Well, I tell you what, how about 86 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 5: we work together and then when the civilization's overthrown will 87 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 5: peacefully cooperate and divide the spoils. Then, of course, like 88 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 5: in every revolution, they kill each other as fast as 89 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 5: they can. 90 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: But there's one more factor. You got jihad in my 91 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: queer studies. You got queer studies in my jihad. Two 92 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: great tastes. It tastes great together. Oh that's beautiful anyway. 93 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 5: So this brings us to the connection between something I 94 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 5: have been harping about for a very long time, as 95 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 5: has James Lindsay and other folks. If there is one 96 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 5: Western progressive who illuminates the emergence of the Red Green Alliance, 97 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 5: it is the French philosopher Michelle Fuco. Well I've mentioned 98 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 5: several times in nineteen seventy eight, fou Co was absolutely. 99 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: The peak of his influence. 100 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 5: He was the post modernist who is revolutionizing universities with 101 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 5: his withering critique of the Western Enlightenment and values that 102 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 5: underpin modern liberalism. Fuko was literally anti Enlightenment, and he 103 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 5: is the father of all critical theory. Okay, And I 104 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: think people have a tendency to think, all right, Getty 105 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 5: and Lindsay are paranoid or whatever, or their conspiracy theorists. 106 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 5: I had a friend in high school who was Indian. 107 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 5: His parents had emigrated from India and they were Hindus. 108 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 5: And in visiting his house and hanging out with his 109 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 5: family son, it became clear to me that there were 110 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 5: figures in Hinduism that were known and revered to billions 111 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 5: of people around the world, who I'd never heard of. 112 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 3: I would suggest to you my friends, and you are 113 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 3: my friends. 114 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: Fuko is that for the Neomarxists, for those who would 115 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 5: overthrow Western civilization. He is a godhead to them. And 116 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: you don't know his name, but trust me what I 117 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 5: tell you. It's incredibly important that you understand. So this 118 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: guy was incredibly influential in the universities in the seventies, 119 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 5: and in nineteen seventy eight he was commissioned by two 120 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 5: Italian newspapers to report on the Iranian Revolution. And like 121 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: one of those you know, leftist you know, Time magazine 122 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 5: guys who were visiting the Soviet Union in one of 123 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 5: their Potempkin villages back in the forties, say or fifties, 124 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 5: he couldn't stop gushing about how great the Itola was 125 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 5: and he was going to get rid of the oppression 126 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 5: of Western politics and Zabadabadu. So and this gets a 127 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 5: little complicated, but I'll get to the simple part. Fuco 128 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 5: was a major intellectual influence on the late Columbia University 129 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: of professor or Edward Sayd's Orientalism now a postcolonial ism 130 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 5: study Bible, which critiqued how Western imperial writers made Arabs, 131 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 5: Muslims and Easterners objects in their narratives and impose their 132 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 5: own agenda on their histories. Here is the great postmodernist 133 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 5: celebrating Iyatola Komane overthrowing the Western government, even though Komane 134 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: would would execute Fuco and his company the first chance 135 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,559 Speaker 5: they got. 136 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: But that was the birthplace of it cool. And until you. 137 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 5: Understand that postmodernism thing, you don't get critical theory. You 138 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 5: don't understand what DEI is and what it's trying to accomplish. 139 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 5: You don't understand queer theory, radical gender theory. All the 140 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 5: confused adolescent girls getting their healthy breasts removed because they're 141 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 5: momentarily confused by you know, adolescents and puberty and the 142 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: rest of it. This is all straight back to Fuco 143 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 5: and critical theory. Clearly, this theory is true in that 144 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 5: it is. 145 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: Happening. 146 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: I still don't get how you're not argued out of 147 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: that position very quickly. 148 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: If somebody says to. 149 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: You, you realize if you're in Iran, they would they 150 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: would murder you immediately. Well, yeah, so I guess I'd 151 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: better pick a different group to work with. 152 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 5: I mean, right, different philosophy. Here's the thing, and these 153 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 5: people are smart. I mean they're insane, but they're smart. 154 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 5: They convince you completely of their premise that Western society 155 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 5: what was that phrase, have made all other people objects 156 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 5: in their narratives and impose their own agenda on their histories. 157 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 5: The key philosophy of critical theory is that there is 158 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 5: no objective truth there don't even. 159 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: Seek it, it doesn't exist. 160 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 5: All there is is narratives, and narratives come from your culture, 161 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 5: and since Western culture is dominant, it has created a 162 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: narrative that says the Iyatola Komene is a monster, but 163 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 5: that's just because they're threatened by him, so they're racists, 164 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 5: they're othering him.

Article seven 415 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 5: of the National Intelligence Law of China is. 416 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 3: The Chinese communists on their own.

But anyway, here's article seven of the National 428 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 5: Intelligence Law of China. 429 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 3: Quote. 430 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 5: Any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with 431 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 5: the state intelligence work in accordance. 432 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: With the law, and keep the secrets of the. 433 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 5: National intelligence work from becoming known to the public. They 434 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 5: are bound by law to report anything that Chinese communists 435 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 5: want to know. 436 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 3: Well, we're fools, we are, we want we freaking are. 437 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: That's very maddening, I know, don't you know? We've said enough? 438 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 3: When when. 439 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 5: The pooh hits the fan in whatever shape or array 440 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 5: of flung poo results, everybody will say, how did that happen? 441 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 5: I don't will I be some some sort of grimly satisfied. 442 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 5: Now I want to just be horrified. No, just horrified 443 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 5: on a cheerier note. Love this, Andy Kessler, writing in 444 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 5: the Journal Javier Malay's gift for Pope Leo. On June 445 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 5: the seventh, the new Pope, the Chicago Guy, met with 446 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 5: Argentine President Javier Malay at the Vatican. Malay gave the 447 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 5: Pope a historical document from sixteen forty two cool a 448 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 5: hand woven Vicunya poncho. 449 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: Oh that's a Guargetine. Oh did you got your machine 450 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: woven vicunya? 451 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 5: Please throw it in the trash. You're hand woven gorgeous. 452 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: And he also gave him Friedrich Hayek's book from nineteen 453 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 5: eighty eight, The Fatal Conceit, The Errors of Socialism. The 454 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 5: book costs less than nineteen dollars on Amazon, but it 455 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 5: was the most valuable gift, says Kessler. And he explains 456 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 5: with some just fabulous quotes from the book, which I 457 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 5: need to read. I've read quotes from it in my 458 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 5: whole life. But Hiek's fatal conceit is that quote. Man 459 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 5: is able to shape the world around him according to 460 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 5: his wishes. That is the fatal conceit of humans. It's 461 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 5: a hearty defense of free markets and of classical liberalism. 462 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 5: And Kesler mentions that his friend and colleague Matthew Henessy 463 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 5: got taken to task by Vice President Van for defending 464 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 5: free markets on these pages. In twenty twenty five, Hayak 465 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 5: pounds home the point that markets are about price discovery, 466 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 5: wealth creation. Quote is determined not by objective physical facts 467 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 5: known to any one mind, but by the separate differing 468 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 5: information of millions, which is precipitated in prices that serve 469 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 5: to guide further decisions. Catch that by buying and selling 470 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 5: in free markets to determined prices, you and I and 471 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 5: millions who are connected but only by signals resulting from 472 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 5: long and infinitely ramified chains of trade, we drive the economy, 473 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 5: and we do it better than self selecting know it alls. 474 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 3: Who really know nothing. And he gave that book to 475 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 3: the Pope. 476 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: He did because he thinks the pope or popes tend 477 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: to lean a little too socialist. 478 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 5: Yes, indeed, I think that was his purpose. Let me 479 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 5: hit you with one or two more quotes from Hayek. 480 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 5: This is maybe my favorite. One's initial surprise at finding 481 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 5: that intelligent people tend to be socialists diminishes when one realizes, 482 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 5: of course, that intelligent people will tend to overvalue intelligence. 483 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 2: Ah. 484 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 5: The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men 485 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 5: how little they really know about what they imagine they 486 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 5: can design. Planners are ill informed. Quote to the naive 487 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 5: mind that can conceive of order only is the product 488 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 5: of deliberate arrangement. It might seem absurd that order and 489 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 5: economic growth can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions, 490 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 5: he notes, And he notes that the fallacy because quote 491 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 5: decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account 492 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 5: man by millions of people who don't even know. 493 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 3: They're doing it.

He included an image of large 523 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 7: pharmaceutical companies that have donated to the Academy's children's health programs. 524 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 3: Now researchers are weighing in listen to your doctor. 525 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 7: It's clear that the Academy of Pediatrics recommendations are based 526 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 7: on very good science. 527 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 3: Less than a quarter, I'm surprised it's a high. 528 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: Actually, less than a quarter of adults got a booster 529 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,239 Speaker 2: last year, under ten percent of children. So more than 530 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 2: ninety percent of children did not get the booster last 531 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: year before RFK Junior ever. 532 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 3: Came on the scene. 533 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: Uh So, as I've seen it now this is a 534 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: from Fox the report we're hearing now, but as I've 535 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 2: seen it presented in the mainstream news, it's, you know, 536 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: just another RFK junior is crazy and whatever, and all 537 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 2: the parents out there whose kids aren't going to get 538 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: the boosters they so desperately want, even though more than 539 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 2: nine out of ten parents did not get their kid. 540 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: Although even that report. 541 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 5: It just said, you know, that stocked with people who've 542 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 5: spread vaccine misinformation in the past. I would I need 543 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 5: to know what you're talking about, because the federal government 544 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 5: and the CDC and the nih and Anthony Fauci and 545 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 5: the President himself spread information over misinformation over and over 546 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 5: and over again. 547 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: That's an extent. What are you talking about. 548 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just so surprised there was any 549 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 2: COVID in the news whatsoever. Now, you who did you 550 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: Judy got a COVID test? Is that what you said 551 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: the other day?

Yeah. Yeah, well then, as now, 560 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 3: now as then. A lot of it's nonsense, inconsistent nonsense. 561 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 2: Was there ever a kid that died from COVID who 562 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 2: didn't have other problems, even one in the whole country? 563 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 5: I'm not sure there were vanishingly small number. I don't 564 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 5: remember if it was none or just every death of 565 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 5: a child, obviously is a tragedy that was vanishing clean nobody. 566 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, in the third biggest country on Earth. 567 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: Right, what an odd thing. We all need to keep 568 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 2: this in mind for the next crisis that comes along. 569 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: That you can be incredibly misled by both the media 570 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 2: and your government. 571 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, so true, And it's a shame they've blown whatever 572 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,479 Speaker 5: credibility they had, which leads to more crackpots getting more 573 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 5: attention and further clouding the water. So it's more and 574 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 5: more difficult to figure out what's true. 575 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: That is the net result. Yeah, which is bad for 576 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 3: all of us. That sucko is what that is. So 577 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 3: I uh, for various reasons. 578 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 5: My doctor hit me with a pregnozone prescription and it's 579 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 5: totally screwed up my sleep. 580 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 3: Last night. 581 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 5: I was awake for two solid hours, my mind just 582 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,239 Speaker 5: racing in the middle of the night last night. 583 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 3: Hey damn ye, no doubt. 584 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Yeah, didn't make you a raven to 585 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 2: see hungry That's what I always had with pregnant zone. 586 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 3: No, actually, my stomach's kind of upset right now. 587 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 5: But anyway, So two things occupied my two hours of 588 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 5: like high speed thinking. 589 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 3: Number one, I wrote and rewrote and like combed through and. 590 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 5: Perfected the first class of a college class in basic 591 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 5: economics that focuses on how laws and regulations and prices 592 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 5: cause people to change their behavior. 593 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 3: Logical economics.
