Welcome to hold a 4 00:00:27,177 --> 00:00:29,737 Speaker 1: lot of I'm Buck Sexton. You would think that given 5 00:00:29,777 --> 00:00:33,337 Speaker 1: the crises that the country is going through right now, 6 00:00:33,937 --> 00:00:37,657 Speaker 1: the regime, the Biden administration, and the ruling elites would 7 00:00:37,657 --> 00:00:42,057 Speaker 1: be focused on things like helping people afford the price 8 00:00:42,057 --> 00:00:46,017 Speaker 1: of groceries of gas, dealing with the inflation that is 9 00:00:46,057 --> 00:00:48,817 Speaker 1: destroying any wage growth that's been out there in the 10 00:00:48,897 --> 00:00:53,337 Speaker 1: last year or so, and making everything less affordable for 11 00:00:53,377 --> 00:00:55,617 Speaker 1: people these days. On top of that, you have a 12 00:00:55,657 --> 00:00:58,457 Speaker 1: housing market that's looking to go pretty cold here soon, 13 00:00:58,697 --> 00:01:02,657 Speaker 1: considering how high rates on mortgages are going. There's a 14 00:01:02,657 --> 00:01:07,337 Speaker 1: lot of day to day problems kitchen table, financial checkbook 15 00:01:07,537 --> 00:01:11,057 Speaker 1: kind of problems that the Biden administration and could be tackling. 16 00:01:11,377 --> 00:01:14,977 Speaker 1: But what is the focus of the elites. What does 17 00:01:14,977 --> 00:01:17,417 Speaker 1: the regime actually look at? Wow, where are they spending 18 00:01:17,457 --> 00:01:19,777 Speaker 1: their time and energy? Look at that in just a moment. 19 00:01:19,857 --> 00:01:21,257 Speaker 1: First off, I just want to say, if you look 20 00:01:21,257 --> 00:01:24,337 Speaker 1: at the price of gas right now, four dollars and 21 00:01:24,697 --> 00:01:27,177 Speaker 1: ninety eight cents price of gas today, so still near 22 00:01:28,137 --> 00:01:30,617 Speaker 1: the all time highs. Something that's important to remember about 23 00:01:30,657 --> 00:01:33,177 Speaker 1: this is that gas isn't just about what goes into 24 00:01:33,257 --> 00:01:38,297 Speaker 1: your car to make it run. Gas also involves the 25 00:01:38,297 --> 00:01:40,977 Speaker 1: transport of all of the goods that you are buying 26 00:01:41,137 --> 00:01:45,417 Speaker 1: in stores, and in fact in the production of many 27 00:01:45,417 --> 00:01:49,297 Speaker 1: goods themselves. Petroleum is in a whole lot of things, plastics, 28 00:01:49,337 --> 00:01:53,017 Speaker 1: all kinds of different consumer products out there, which is 29 00:01:53,057 --> 00:01:55,137 Speaker 1: all getting more expensive because the price of gas is 30 00:01:55,137 --> 00:01:56,977 Speaker 1: more expen so people have less money, they have less 31 00:01:56,977 --> 00:01:59,017 Speaker 1: ability to pay for these things. And if you look 32 00:01:59,057 --> 00:02:00,937 Speaker 1: at the jump over the last I mean, here's a 33 00:02:01,057 --> 00:02:06,297 Speaker 1: chart showing the twelve month percentage change in major categories. 34 00:02:07,257 --> 00:02:10,857 Speaker 1: All items are up eight point six percent, food is 35 00:02:10,977 --> 00:02:15,657 Speaker 1: up ten percent, and energy is up thirty four point 36 00:02:15,697 --> 00:02:19,777 Speaker 1: six percent. So massive energy inflation underway right now, or 37 00:02:19,857 --> 00:02:22,897 Speaker 1: rather the price of energy going up, and that is 38 00:02:22,937 --> 00:02:25,377 Speaker 1: also affecting the overall economic picture in ways that we 39 00:02:25,417 --> 00:02:30,337 Speaker 1: can all see. So they told us last summer inflation 40 00:02:30,497 --> 00:02:33,817 Speaker 1: is not really a problem, don't worry about it. It's grandatory. 41 00:02:33,857 --> 00:02:35,857 Speaker 1: Now we know it's a very big problem. In fact, 42 00:02:36,457 --> 00:02:40,377 Speaker 1: it may be the primary issue that picks the Democrats 43 00:02:40,497 --> 00:02:45,257 Speaker 1: out of power for the midterm election. So that's one 44 00:02:45,377 --> 00:02:48,897 Speaker 1: component of all of this, And there's also how can 45 00:02:48,937 --> 00:02:52,217 Speaker 1: we trust these people now who actually get the job done? 46 00:02:52,257 --> 00:02:55,417 Speaker 1: What makes anyone think the same individuals that were so 47 00:02:55,497 --> 00:03:01,137 Speaker 1: wrong about inflation will be able to forestall or perhaps 48 00:03:01,177 --> 00:03:05,937 Speaker 1: even avert entirely a recession. Here's Joe Biden, for example, 49 00:03:06,017 --> 00:03:09,897 Speaker 1: dismissing a reporter who asked about the recessions that you 50 00:03:10,377 --> 00:03:16,377 Speaker 1: watch this not the majority of art, saying that, come on, 51 00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:19,097 Speaker 1: don't make things up. Okay, now you're sounding like a 52 00:03:19,097 --> 00:03:22,897 Speaker 1: Republican politician. I'm joking And how was a joke? But 53 00:03:23,057 --> 00:03:27,777 Speaker 1: all kid aside, No, I don't think it is. What 54 00:03:28,417 --> 00:03:30,897 Speaker 1: is this this thing that Biden does where he goes 55 00:03:31,177 --> 00:03:35,577 Speaker 1: a majority are not saying that a majority of who? 56 00:03:36,217 --> 00:03:38,857 Speaker 1: And how would he know? I mean, it's absurd the 57 00:03:38,857 --> 00:03:42,217 Speaker 1: way that this guy gets away with saying things that 58 00:03:42,377 --> 00:03:45,657 Speaker 1: no honest person could think would actually be true. But 59 00:03:45,737 --> 00:03:48,897 Speaker 1: he just simply doesn't care. It doesn't matter to him. 60 00:03:48,977 --> 00:03:51,777 Speaker 1: What matters to Joe Biden is that he has a 61 00:03:51,777 --> 00:03:56,897 Speaker 1: talking point to deploy to try and defray at some 62 00:03:57,017 --> 00:04:02,377 Speaker 1: level the absurdity of his administration's culpability in all this 63 00:04:02,457 --> 00:04:04,657 Speaker 1: and try to keep people from thinking that Joe Biden 64 00:04:05,537 --> 00:04:11,137 Speaker 1: is beyond his administration is beyond repair, and his cognision is, 65 00:04:11,177 --> 00:04:15,537 Speaker 1: without a doubt, in decline. So there's no real hope 66 00:04:15,577 --> 00:04:17,497 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be able to fix the economy anytimes. 67 00:04:17,577 --> 00:04:19,657 Speaker 1: No one actually think that's gonnappen. Lets they fix the economy, 68 00:04:19,737 --> 00:04:22,497 Speaker 1: just stop making things worse. I mean, that would be 69 00:04:22,537 --> 00:04:24,937 Speaker 1: a worthwhile goal for these Democrats to get out of 70 00:04:24,937 --> 00:04:29,457 Speaker 1: the way and to lessen the regulations and the desire 71 00:04:29,537 --> 00:04:33,257 Speaker 1: for taxation. In fact, over the weekend on CBS, Margaret Brennan, 72 00:04:33,297 --> 00:04:36,817 Speaker 1: who's an establishment journal asked a question of one of 73 00:04:36,897 --> 00:04:40,057 Speaker 1: Biden's advisors, and he started talking about raising taxes. She said, 74 00:04:40,057 --> 00:04:41,857 Speaker 1: that's not even gonna that's not going to help with 75 00:04:41,897 --> 00:04:43,657 Speaker 1: the price of milk. I mean, that's that's not something 76 00:04:43,657 --> 00:04:46,137 Speaker 1: that people that are struggling right now. A tax raise 77 00:04:46,257 --> 00:04:48,937 Speaker 1: on anyone. Oh, it's just on the rich. He isn't 78 00:04:48,937 --> 00:04:51,097 Speaker 1: going to help the people who are struggling, but is 79 00:04:51,177 --> 00:04:53,657 Speaker 1: helping the people who are struggling? Really what this is 80 00:04:53,697 --> 00:04:56,697 Speaker 1: all about, because on the one hand, all this economic 81 00:04:57,417 --> 00:05:00,737 Speaker 1: pain that is unfolding before us seems to be directly 82 00:05:00,777 --> 00:05:04,057 Speaker 1: tied to very bad decisions that Democrats made. But beyond that, 83 00:05:04,097 --> 00:05:06,537 Speaker 1: you also see how much focus there still is on 84 00:05:06,577 --> 00:05:11,777 Speaker 1: the COVID issue and their priority with regard to vaccinating children. 85 00:05:12,097 --> 00:05:16,937 Speaker 1: Here is the CDC Director, Rochelle Wilenski, who is announcing, 86 00:05:17,057 --> 00:05:21,657 Speaker 1: and this is a gleeful point for psychotic libs, announcing 87 00:05:21,657 --> 00:05:24,937 Speaker 1: that vaccines are available for six months six months to 88 00:05:25,217 --> 00:05:29,297 Speaker 1: five year old one COVID nineteen vaccines are now available 89 00:05:29,417 --> 00:05:33,537 Speaker 1: for children under five. With this recent authorization from FDA 90 00:05:33,697 --> 00:05:37,937 Speaker 1: and recommendation from CDC, nearly twenty million children are now 91 00:05:37,977 --> 00:05:42,177 Speaker 1: able to get vaccinated against COVID nineteen. I know many 92 00:05:42,257 --> 00:05:46,137 Speaker 1: parents with very young children have been anticipating this day. 93 00:05:46,537 --> 00:05:49,777 Speaker 1: We now know, based on rigorous scientific review, that the 94 00:05:49,857 --> 00:05:52,537 Speaker 1: vaccines available here in the United States can be used 95 00:05:52,577 --> 00:05:57,457 Speaker 1: safely and effectively in children under five. Vaccinating young children 96 00:05:57,537 --> 00:06:01,657 Speaker 1: is a critical opportunity to protect them against hospitalization and 97 00:06:01,857 --> 00:06:07,897 Speaker 1: death from COVID nineteen. Prevent death from COVID nineteen. How 98 00:06:07,937 --> 00:06:10,137 Speaker 1: many children have died under the age of five in 99 00:06:10,177 --> 00:06:12,937 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Rachel Olenski doesn't really want to answer that, 100 00:06:12,977 --> 00:06:17,097 Speaker 1: because the number is so small that statistically you say 101 00:06:17,137 --> 00:06:20,737 Speaker 1: It is like trying to prevent a lightning strike. But 102 00:06:21,577 --> 00:06:24,657 Speaker 1: they want a three dose vaccine regiment for these kids, 103 00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:27,617 Speaker 1: despite the fact that the efficacy, even by their own numbers, 104 00:06:27,617 --> 00:06:29,457 Speaker 1: the data there using is not high at all. MODERTA 105 00:06:29,537 --> 00:06:33,017 Speaker 1: vaccine was shown to be fifty one percent effective in 106 00:06:33,017 --> 00:06:35,577 Speaker 1: preventing illness in children in six months and two years old, 107 00:06:35,577 --> 00:06:40,057 Speaker 1: accord in the Washington Post, and thirty seven percent effective 108 00:06:40,097 --> 00:06:42,857 Speaker 1: in children two years old to five years old. So 109 00:06:43,137 --> 00:06:44,497 Speaker 1: what's going to happen soon here is you're going to 110 00:06:44,537 --> 00:06:47,137 Speaker 1: see in the blue states, blue areas, there's going to 111 00:06:47,177 --> 00:06:51,937 Speaker 1: be mandatory vaccination of very small children who, even if 112 00:06:51,977 --> 00:06:53,817 Speaker 1: they got by the way seventy five percent of them 113 00:06:53,937 --> 00:06:57,657 Speaker 1: this is CDC number I've already gotten COVID. They're going 114 00:06:57,697 --> 00:07:01,137 Speaker 1: to push the vaccine that is less than forty percent 115 00:07:01,137 --> 00:07:04,217 Speaker 1: effective on all these kids. Why because this is what 116 00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:08,737 Speaker 1: the regime wants. This is their emotional impulse. They have 117 00:07:08,817 --> 00:07:12,217 Speaker 1: to do this to protect the children. These are the 118 00:07:12,297 --> 00:07:15,937 Speaker 1: kind of things they focus on. Oh and also banning 119 00:07:17,017 --> 00:07:20,177 Speaker 1: conversion therapy. This White House has the time for that. 120 00:07:20,297 --> 00:07:23,017 Speaker 1: This is from Politico. President Joe Biden on Wednesday will 121 00:07:23,097 --> 00:07:26,697 Speaker 1: order his Health agency to begin effort to ban conversion 122 00:07:26,777 --> 00:07:31,977 Speaker 1: therapy and expand expand access to gender affirming treatment after 123 00:07:32,017 --> 00:07:35,257 Speaker 1: a slew of state attempts to limit transgender healthcare, particularly 124 00:07:35,297 --> 00:07:38,337 Speaker 1: for children. Interesting, a would say, gender affirming isn't one 125 00:07:38,337 --> 00:07:42,777 Speaker 1: actually gender denying order gender changing at least, but no, 126 00:07:42,857 --> 00:07:47,497 Speaker 1: they call it gender affirming. Now, a transition is actually 127 00:07:47,537 --> 00:07:49,977 Speaker 1: a return to what was always there. That's what they 128 00:07:49,977 --> 00:07:53,377 Speaker 1: want you to. Please notice the manipulation through language. This 129 00:07:53,417 --> 00:07:56,897 Speaker 1: is what they do all the time. So while the 130 00:07:57,017 --> 00:08:01,457 Speaker 1: country is suffering economically, Biden White House still pushing forward 131 00:08:01,497 --> 00:08:06,577 Speaker 1: with vaccines for kids that they don't need, with transgender 132 00:08:07,097 --> 00:08:11,137 Speaker 1: ideology for young children. And then also of course the 133 00:08:11,497 --> 00:08:14,817 Speaker 1: climate change lunacy from people like John Kerry. Here is 134 00:08:14,857 --> 00:08:18,737 Speaker 1: the climate czar saying, you know, we really need to 135 00:08:18,817 --> 00:08:24,017 Speaker 1: reinforce those green products. We need as a society to 136 00:08:24,217 --> 00:08:30,337 Speaker 1: be reinforcing in the marketplace the choices that will come 137 00:08:30,417 --> 00:08:35,617 Speaker 1: from green products and from green production schedules on the industry. 138 00:08:35,657 --> 00:08:38,417 Speaker 1: We have to make green steel. We're doing that now. 139 00:08:42,137 --> 00:08:45,577 Speaker 1: That's just it's amazing, isn't it. That's all that we 140 00:08:45,657 --> 00:08:47,337 Speaker 1: have on this for right now, except we've got our 141 00:08:47,337 --> 00:08:50,097 Speaker 1: friend David Marcus coming up next to talk about the 142 00:08:50,097 --> 00:08:52,857 Speaker 1: effort to vaccinate our kids.

We know that much because 185 00:11:14,137 --> 00:11:17,177 Speaker 1: of how excited they get at the recent announcement that 186 00:11:17,537 --> 00:11:19,577 Speaker 1: six month old to five year olds now can get 187 00:11:19,617 --> 00:11:25,697 Speaker 1: the Fiser or moderna three dose vaccine regiment. And this 188 00:11:26,177 --> 00:11:28,897 Speaker 1: is appalling on many levels. I mean, for one thing, 189 00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:31,057 Speaker 1: they're going to make this mandatory in a lot of 190 00:11:31,097 --> 00:11:35,377 Speaker 1: blue cities for schools. Almost certainly they've already made it 191 00:11:35,417 --> 00:11:38,017 Speaker 1: mandatory for a lot of summer camps all over the country, 192 00:11:38,337 --> 00:11:41,217 Speaker 1: so forcing kids to get shots that they clearly buy 193 00:11:41,257 --> 00:11:46,377 Speaker 1: the numbers do not need. But nonetheless the regime wants 194 00:11:46,377 --> 00:11:50,217 Speaker 1: what it wants. David Marcus near CROs Columns joins us now, David, 195 00:11:50,297 --> 00:11:54,617 Speaker 1: good to see it? Hey, Bud, what's with one to 196 00:11:54,657 --> 00:11:56,777 Speaker 1: get all the kids the shots? Man? When are they 197 00:11:56,777 --> 00:11:59,177 Speaker 1: gonna when are they gonna realize this is this is 198 00:11:59,217 --> 00:12:04,457 Speaker 1: crazy when these when these COVID stories pop up. Now, 199 00:12:04,617 --> 00:12:06,497 Speaker 1: the way it feels to me, it's like if you 200 00:12:06,537 --> 00:12:09,377 Speaker 1: ever go a while without wearing a suit, and then 201 00:12:09,417 --> 00:12:11,417 Speaker 1: you wear it and you're out and you reach in 202 00:12:11,497 --> 00:12:13,617 Speaker 1: the pocket and you know, you pull out like a 203 00:12:13,657 --> 00:12:16,617 Speaker 1: ticket stub and from four months ago, and you go, oh, 204 00:12:16,657 --> 00:12:18,737 Speaker 1: I forgot that I went to this thing. This is 205 00:12:18,777 --> 00:12:21,657 Speaker 1: this is how these stories feel to me now, like 206 00:12:21,697 --> 00:12:25,217 Speaker 1: this is over, guys, And we certainly don't need some 207 00:12:25,977 --> 00:12:30,297 Speaker 1: gigantic rush and push from the government to get these 208 00:12:30,297 --> 00:12:34,297 Speaker 1: shots in these kids arms. If there's parents, as CNN claims, 209 00:12:34,297 --> 00:12:37,017 Speaker 1: who are super excited about this, and The New York 210 00:12:37,017 --> 00:12:39,857 Speaker 1: Times claims, by all means, go talk to your pediatrician. 211 00:12:39,977 --> 00:12:43,577 Speaker 1: It's your kid. But the idea that the government is foisting, 212 00:12:43,577 --> 00:12:47,257 Speaker 1: as you say, a pretty needless facts and on these kids, 213 00:12:47,977 --> 00:12:52,257 Speaker 1: it's troubling and it is just regime power. I mean 214 00:12:52,257 --> 00:12:56,617 Speaker 1: when I also saw a story recently, I thought to myself, 215 00:12:56,617 --> 00:12:58,737 Speaker 1: this is straight out of the Just give it time. 216 00:12:58,737 --> 00:13:03,577 Speaker 1: It'll go from conspiracy theory to fact list that we 217 00:13:03,577 --> 00:13:05,857 Speaker 1: could have or the playbook perhaps, and that is the 218 00:13:06,297 --> 00:13:09,057 Speaker 1: there is. Now do you see this a study that 219 00:13:09,217 --> 00:13:12,337 Speaker 1: comes in from a National Institude of Health acknowledging that 220 00:13:12,497 --> 00:13:16,497 Speaker 1: COVID vaccines are linked to an increase in the menstrual 221 00:13:16,537 --> 00:13:20,977 Speaker 1: cycle length of women and also COVID nineteen vaccination was 222 00:13:20,977 --> 00:13:27,417 Speaker 1: shown to temporarily impair semen concentration and total motal sperm 223 00:13:27,497 --> 00:13:32,417 Speaker 1: count among semen donors. So it does actually mess with 224 00:13:32,497 --> 00:13:36,577 Speaker 1: your fertility systems male and female. I remember when saying 225 00:13:36,617 --> 00:13:39,137 Speaker 1: something like that would get you kicked off social media 226 00:13:39,177 --> 00:13:40,817 Speaker 1: and you were a hateful person or just want to 227 00:13:40,857 --> 00:13:45,657 Speaker 1: grandma to die? Were these male semen donors or female 228 00:13:45,737 --> 00:13:49,857 Speaker 1: semen donors? Buck, I was making an assumption there, of course, Yeah, 229 00:13:50,457 --> 00:13:53,097 Speaker 1: you really, Debby, you really shouldn't, right, Um No, I 230 00:13:53,097 --> 00:13:56,777 Speaker 1: mean that's these I say that because these are two 231 00:13:56,857 --> 00:14:01,897 Speaker 1: concepts equally based in science. Um no, it's it's it 232 00:14:02,017 --> 00:14:04,777 Speaker 1: is absurtain. It is troubling, and especially you know, just 233 00:14:04,817 --> 00:14:07,537 Speaker 1: coming back to the kids for a second last year 234 00:14:07,577 --> 00:14:11,217 Speaker 1: of the argument with the kids was they're pretty safe, 235 00:14:11,337 --> 00:14:13,977 Speaker 1: but you have to get them a shot for grandma 236 00:14:14,017 --> 00:14:16,497 Speaker 1: and grandpa and all of the you know, Taylor Lorenz 237 00:14:16,537 --> 00:14:22,017 Speaker 1: and all of the people at high risk. That's gone now, right, 238 00:14:22,057 --> 00:14:24,657 Speaker 1: that that's nonsense. This really does just have to be 239 00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:28,337 Speaker 1: a personal choice. And as you point out, look, of course, 240 00:14:28,417 --> 00:14:30,977 Speaker 1: of course we're going to find out that there were 241 00:14:31,057 --> 00:14:33,777 Speaker 1: more and more side effects and things we didn't expect. 242 00:14:33,897 --> 00:14:37,457 Speaker 1: That's just that's just life. I mean, that's the operation 243 00:14:37,497 --> 00:14:40,817 Speaker 1: More Speed was wonderful and needed and a great job 244 00:14:40,857 --> 00:14:44,297 Speaker 1: by President Trump. But there's a reason that vaccines usually 245 00:14:44,337 --> 00:14:50,017 Speaker 1: take as long as they usually take. Yeah, and if 246 00:14:50,057 --> 00:14:51,657 Speaker 1: you said that at the time, by the way, because 247 00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:55,177 Speaker 1: I remember, because I was saying it, everyone shouted at 248 00:14:55,177 --> 00:14:58,137 Speaker 1: you and said, how dare you? And this is genius 249 00:14:58,257 --> 00:15:01,217 Speaker 1: and we're gonna beat this thing if we only take 250 00:15:01,257 --> 00:15:04,777 Speaker 1: the virus seriously and follow the science and we know 251 00:15:04,857 --> 00:15:09,057 Speaker 1: what works. And I mean, David, my sense of humanity, 252 00:15:09,417 --> 00:15:12,737 Speaker 1: at least in in the context of America, but my 253 00:15:12,817 --> 00:15:17,417 Speaker 1: sense of the masses willingness to go along with cheer 254 00:15:18,257 --> 00:15:23,497 Speaker 1: bullcrap if certain people from powerful positions say it enough times, 255 00:15:24,137 --> 00:15:26,657 Speaker 1: I can never forget all the stupid things that people 256 00:15:26,937 --> 00:15:29,857 Speaker 1: not only were willing to do then, but still kind 257 00:15:29,857 --> 00:15:33,457 Speaker 1: of walk around like zombies, acting like it was the 258 00:15:33,537 --> 00:15:35,377 Speaker 1: right thing to do all along, even though we know 259 00:15:35,417 --> 00:15:41,057 Speaker 1: it clearly wasn't. Yeah, you know, it is shocking and troubling. 260 00:15:41,217 --> 00:15:45,657 Speaker 1: I do, in part blame the Internet for two reasons. One, 261 00:15:46,817 --> 00:15:50,537 Speaker 1: it really did succeed in siloing information, where only one 262 00:15:50,577 --> 00:15:53,697 Speaker 1: side's information was able to get out there right through censorship. 263 00:15:54,417 --> 00:15:57,497 Speaker 1: The other though, is that I don't think we could 264 00:15:57,537 --> 00:16:01,337 Speaker 1: have locked down twenty years ago. I don't think without Zoom. 265 00:16:01,537 --> 00:16:05,537 Speaker 1: I don't think without all of these technological advancements, you 266 00:16:05,577 --> 00:16:08,897 Speaker 1: know that where the Internet allowed everyone to work remotely, 267 00:16:09,257 --> 00:16:12,817 Speaker 1: that that even have been feasible. And I think those 268 00:16:12,817 --> 00:16:16,097 Speaker 1: are things that Americans should think about because we are 269 00:16:16,217 --> 00:16:20,937 Speaker 1: kind of getting pushed into these little autonomous zones where 270 00:16:20,977 --> 00:16:23,017 Speaker 1: we just look at our screens and it's kind of 271 00:16:23,017 --> 00:16:27,137 Speaker 1: a scary way to live. David here is a Fauci 272 00:16:27,457 --> 00:16:33,017 Speaker 1: this past weekend talking about masking up indoorstill watch. Hopefully 273 00:16:33,177 --> 00:16:36,177 Speaker 1: the more people that get vaccinated and boosted, and the 274 00:16:36,217 --> 00:16:39,537 Speaker 1: more people to realize the importance of when you have 275 00:16:39,577 --> 00:16:42,657 Speaker 1: a high level of viral dynamics that when you're in 276 00:16:42,697 --> 00:16:47,097 Speaker 1: an indoor setting, you should wear a mask. Even though 277 00:16:47,657 --> 00:16:50,457 Speaker 1: the whole world, including the United States and the UK, 278 00:16:51,617 --> 00:16:55,817 Speaker 1: just worn out and tired by this outbreak, it isn't 279 00:16:55,857 --> 00:16:59,577 Speaker 1: over yet. People need to realize it is never going 280 00:16:59,617 --> 00:17:02,057 Speaker 1: to go back to zero. That's not the nature of 281 00:17:02,097 --> 00:17:06,577 Speaker 1: this virus. I mean, he's telling basically people that want 282 00:17:06,577 --> 00:17:09,777 Speaker 1: to really believe the science forever mask it's forever now. 283 00:17:10,497 --> 00:17:13,497 Speaker 1: And this guy's like five minutes away from saying, if 284 00:17:13,497 --> 00:17:15,777 Speaker 1: you're going to have an opencast, good funeral, make sure 285 00:17:15,817 --> 00:17:18,577 Speaker 1: that the you know deceased is wearing a mask. I mean, 286 00:17:19,057 --> 00:17:22,177 Speaker 1: that's about That's about where we are here, you know, 287 00:17:22,217 --> 00:17:26,017 Speaker 1: because symbolically that will encourage others to or something like 288 00:17:26,337 --> 00:17:29,737 Speaker 1: it's always hopefully with this guy, well we don't know, 289 00:17:29,857 --> 00:17:33,057 Speaker 1: you know, Hopefully someday we'll all be able to, like, 290 00:17:33,217 --> 00:17:36,657 Speaker 1: you know, go do normal things again. I really hope 291 00:17:36,657 --> 00:17:38,697 Speaker 1: we're done with him. I really think it's time for 292 00:17:38,777 --> 00:17:41,137 Speaker 1: him to retire with his millions and millions of dollars 293 00:17:41,137 --> 00:17:43,417 Speaker 1: and just you know, go wherever he wants to go. 294 00:17:45,057 --> 00:17:47,057 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think he should be fired. I mean, 295 00:17:47,097 --> 00:17:50,617 Speaker 1: I think the Fauci deserves whatever public humiliation that can 296 00:17:50,657 --> 00:17:53,817 Speaker 1: be offered by people who are in a position of 297 00:17:53,857 --> 00:17:55,897 Speaker 1: authority to fire. Obviously, Biden will never do that to 298 00:17:56,017 --> 00:17:59,617 Speaker 1: worship this clown because of the political ramifications for them 299 00:17:59,617 --> 00:18:02,177 Speaker 1: if admitting that he was wrong all along. But I 300 00:18:02,217 --> 00:18:04,337 Speaker 1: think the damage that's been done, I mean, David, there 301 00:18:04,377 --> 00:18:07,617 Speaker 1: will be there will be parents who are and you 302 00:18:07,657 --> 00:18:09,057 Speaker 1: and I both know this, and you know you live 303 00:18:09,097 --> 00:18:10,977 Speaker 1: in parts of New Work where this stuff, I'm sure 304 00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:13,777 Speaker 1: is really common. They'll be parents who will come out 305 00:18:14,257 --> 00:18:17,217 Speaker 1: and they'll be showing photos of their little kid, you know, 306 00:18:17,217 --> 00:18:19,697 Speaker 1: three year old getting vaccinated, two year olds getting vaccinated, 307 00:18:19,737 --> 00:18:22,617 Speaker 1: and say, now I can finally take my child to 308 00:18:22,657 --> 00:18:26,257 Speaker 1: the park because they're safe, like maniac. And they think 309 00:18:26,257 --> 00:18:28,537 Speaker 1: that they're heroes for doing this. They're they're engaged in 310 00:18:28,617 --> 00:18:33,857 Speaker 1: child abuse. Actually those people exist. I mean, look, it 311 00:18:33,937 --> 00:18:36,617 Speaker 1: took a lot longer than you and I wanted, but 312 00:18:36,697 --> 00:18:40,337 Speaker 1: I think those people are in the minority. Now, it's 313 00:18:40,337 --> 00:18:44,657 Speaker 1: an angry, loud minority. And like I said, it took 314 00:18:44,697 --> 00:18:46,937 Speaker 1: way too long. But look, people are going to make 315 00:18:46,937 --> 00:18:48,977 Speaker 1: their own choices. But I think for the vast majority 316 00:18:48,977 --> 00:18:51,177 Speaker 1: of Americans, there's no great rush to go get your 317 00:18:51,177 --> 00:18:53,897 Speaker 1: six month old vaccinated for COVID. And I think that's 318 00:18:53,937 --> 00:18:57,537 Speaker 1: just the simple fact of the matter. I certainly hope not. 319 00:18:57,697 --> 00:19:00,057 Speaker 1: David Marcus, I was good to see you, sir, You 320 00:19:00,177 --> 00:19:05,257 Speaker 1: too much? All right? Coming up? The international body that 321 00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:11,617 Speaker 1: regulates aquatic competition for women has some new guidelines about 322 00:19:11,657 --> 00:19:16,897 Speaker 1: whether trendswomen can compete against women in aquatic sport. We'll 323 00:19:16,897 --> 00:19:21,017 Speaker 1: discuss with t and aloe in a moment. Let's talk 324 00:19:21,057 --> 00:19:22,777 Speaker 1: about protecting your home for a minute. You know that 325 00:19:22,817 --> 00:19:24,937 Speaker 1: I'm skeptical by nature, So when I first heard about 326 00:19:24,977 --> 00:19:27,137 Speaker 1: home tattle theft and the idea that thieves can literally 327 00:19:27,137 --> 00:19:30,177 Speaker 1: steal your home, I was like, really, can some cybercriminal 328 00:19:30,217 --> 00:19:32,217 Speaker 1: really forge my name off the tittle of my home 329 00:19:32,217 --> 00:19:34,737 Speaker 1: and takeover as the new owner. Turns out, yeah, he can. 330 00:19:35,057 --> 00:19:37,257 Speaker 1: Not as rare as you'd think.

That's hometetlelock dot com. 343 00:20:12,817 --> 00:20:17,777 Speaker 1: It is a policy that we need to introduce in 344 00:20:17,897 --> 00:20:25,537 Speaker 1: order to protect the competitive fairness of our event. President 345 00:20:25,617 --> 00:20:30,337 Speaker 1: of FENA, the organization that oversees international aquatic sports competition, 346 00:20:31,057 --> 00:20:34,977 Speaker 1: after the announcement that they would no longer allow those 347 00:20:35,017 --> 00:20:39,577 Speaker 1: who had gone through puberty as males to compete against 348 00:20:39,697 --> 00:20:44,977 Speaker 1: women in aquatic sports. Anyone who transitioned before puberty, however, 349 00:20:45,017 --> 00:20:49,017 Speaker 1: it seems under this policy may in fact be allowed. ESPN, 350 00:20:49,577 --> 00:20:52,257 Speaker 1: in an artcle wrote that swimming's world governing body, FENA, 351 00:20:52,537 --> 00:20:56,537 Speaker 1: voted to restrictive participation on Sunday of transgender athletes in 352 00:20:56,617 --> 00:20:59,657 Speaker 1: elite women's competitions and create a working group to establish 353 00:20:59,977 --> 00:21:03,417 Speaker 1: an open category for them in some events as part 354 00:21:03,417 --> 00:21:05,777 Speaker 1: of its new policy. Joining me now is commentary writer 355 00:21:05,817 --> 00:21:09,137 Speaker 1: at The Washington Examiner, l Tina. Good to see him. 356 00:21:10,537 --> 00:21:16,737 Speaker 1: Hi back, So what's your initial reaction to this policy? 357 00:21:16,817 --> 00:21:21,297 Speaker 1: Step in the right direction, obviously a step in the 358 00:21:21,417 --> 00:21:23,977 Speaker 1: right direction, but one telling that it did come from 359 00:21:24,017 --> 00:21:29,217 Speaker 1: an international body, one that's not, you know, behold into 360 00:21:29,257 --> 00:21:33,377 Speaker 1: the same special interest that have sort of taken American 361 00:21:33,497 --> 00:21:38,617 Speaker 1: into a lesser extent. You're a British politic by storm, 362 00:21:38,657 --> 00:21:41,377 Speaker 1: you know you've seen the same debate play out across 363 00:21:41,457 --> 00:21:45,937 Speaker 1: the pond with regards to do we have all liberal 364 00:21:45,977 --> 00:21:51,297 Speaker 1: political power to the transgender lobby and globally, No, you're 365 00:21:51,337 --> 00:21:53,857 Speaker 1: not going to have that same energy because I think 366 00:21:53,857 --> 00:21:56,577 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, even more you know, left 367 00:21:56,657 --> 00:22:00,977 Speaker 1: leaning other European countries, see that this is fundamentally about fairness. 368 00:22:01,017 --> 00:22:04,217 Speaker 1: If it weren't about fairness, the number one places we're 369 00:22:04,217 --> 00:22:07,817 Speaker 1: pushing back wouldn't be women's sports, which is about equality 370 00:22:08,017 --> 00:22:11,497 Speaker 1: and safety, especially when it comes to direct contact report 371 00:22:11,977 --> 00:22:16,457 Speaker 1: and also things like do we how transgender women in 372 00:22:16,537 --> 00:22:20,337 Speaker 1: biological women's prisons? So yeah, this is good that it's 373 00:22:20,337 --> 00:22:26,217 Speaker 1: coming from from an international organization, but telling that American 374 00:22:26,377 --> 00:22:31,057 Speaker 1: organizations aren't the ones to start this. And so what 375 00:22:31,337 --> 00:22:35,777 Speaker 1: as we understand, the policy would mean that you could 376 00:22:35,817 --> 00:22:40,897 Speaker 1: compete if you were, say transgender, but had become you 377 00:22:41,017 --> 00:22:45,537 Speaker 1: had done your transition in a prepubescent stage. Is that? 378 00:22:45,857 --> 00:22:47,577 Speaker 1: Is that? What the that what seems to be the 379 00:22:47,577 --> 00:22:51,057 Speaker 1: categorizations that are set up by this. So yeah, so 380 00:22:51,097 --> 00:22:53,417 Speaker 1: they're clearly trying to tell a line where they won't 381 00:22:53,457 --> 00:22:57,137 Speaker 1: be accused of transphobia, because the main concern with puberty 382 00:22:57,577 --> 00:23:00,617 Speaker 1: isn't just the presence of hormones, right because Leah Thomas 383 00:23:00,657 --> 00:23:04,497 Speaker 1: has been on transitional hormones for a few years. It's 384 00:23:04,537 --> 00:23:08,497 Speaker 1: also about things like bone density and bone size. Those 385 00:23:08,497 --> 00:23:12,657 Speaker 1: are things that happened during puberty, and they're effectively irreversible. 386 00:23:12,737 --> 00:23:17,377 Speaker 1: You know, there are some some statistics of transgender adults 387 00:23:17,537 --> 00:23:22,417 Speaker 1: winding up with you know, chronic conditions like osteoporosis or 388 00:23:22,497 --> 00:23:27,577 Speaker 1: like diabetes as a result of those transitional hormones. But still, 389 00:23:28,097 --> 00:23:32,817 Speaker 1: any male or any this gendered or biological man who 390 00:23:32,857 --> 00:23:35,737 Speaker 1: has gone through male puberty, even if they are on 391 00:23:36,057 --> 00:23:40,497 Speaker 1: those female affirming hormones, I think that's the correct language, 392 00:23:40,537 --> 00:23:44,657 Speaker 1: will still have the increased male bone density. And so 393 00:23:44,817 --> 00:23:47,937 Speaker 1: by saying that it's either PAN or stage two or 394 00:23:47,937 --> 00:23:51,617 Speaker 1: age twelve, whichever comes later, they're obviously trying to create 395 00:23:51,657 --> 00:23:54,697 Speaker 1: a carve out one that probably won't mean much in practice, 396 00:23:54,857 --> 00:24:00,617 Speaker 1: because luckily, most doctors do not allow children to start 397 00:24:00,617 --> 00:24:04,577 Speaker 1: transitioning medically from age twelve. Hopefully it stays that way, 398 00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:07,817 Speaker 1: but they're clearly trying to have their all their basis 399 00:24:07,817 --> 00:24:09,737 Speaker 1: covered so that they can't just be accused of just 400 00:24:10,097 --> 00:24:12,777 Speaker 1: blanket transphobia. But the fact is, when we were talking 401 00:24:12,817 --> 00:24:16,257 Speaker 1: about the realities of biological sex in something that is 402 00:24:16,297 --> 00:24:20,337 Speaker 1: supposed to be an objective competition like athletic there's really 403 00:24:20,377 --> 00:24:25,137 Speaker 1: no way of dividing between these two. Do you think 404 00:24:25,137 --> 00:24:29,377 Speaker 1: that this is going to result in other organizations changing 405 00:24:30,257 --> 00:24:33,497 Speaker 1: their policies. I mean, here's a statement for from Australian 406 00:24:33,537 --> 00:24:37,097 Speaker 1: Olympic gold medalist Kate Campbell, who spoke in support of 407 00:24:37,137 --> 00:24:41,137 Speaker 1: the FENA ruling. She said, we see you, value and 408 00:24:41,177 --> 00:24:43,417 Speaker 1: accept you. My role, however, is a stand up here. 409 00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:46,857 Speaker 1: Having asked our world governing body FENA to investigate, deliberate 410 00:24:47,137 --> 00:24:50,777 Speaker 1: and uphold the cornerstone of fairness in elite women's competition, 411 00:24:51,497 --> 00:24:54,097 Speaker 1: seems a little bit like they're saying, you're definitely a 412 00:24:54,137 --> 00:24:58,457 Speaker 1: woman if you're a trans woman, but you also definitely 413 00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:02,337 Speaker 1: have an advantage if you are a transwoman against biological 414 00:25:02,377 --> 00:25:05,617 Speaker 1: women in swimming, which I do think raises the question 415 00:25:06,337 --> 00:25:10,537 Speaker 1: who are they really a woman? No, not going to 416 00:25:10,577 --> 00:25:14,937 Speaker 1: want to grapple with the philosophical you know, cognitive dissonances 417 00:25:14,937 --> 00:25:17,017 Speaker 1: that I think the rest of us see is all there, 418 00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:20,377 Speaker 1: and that these things should be more open areas for 419 00:25:20,497 --> 00:25:24,537 Speaker 1: discourse rather than settled back, because that's not the way 420 00:25:24,577 --> 00:25:27,057 Speaker 1: that this question has ever been approached right, acting as 421 00:25:27,097 --> 00:25:29,417 Speaker 1: though there's any absolute in one direction or the other. 422 00:25:29,897 --> 00:25:32,857 Speaker 1: But I'm still choosing to find the promise in this 423 00:25:33,017 --> 00:25:35,417 Speaker 1: because the fact remains that it will be up to 424 00:25:36,377 --> 00:25:40,257 Speaker 1: you know, these mainstays of each individual sport, Like, for instance, 425 00:25:40,257 --> 00:25:44,377 Speaker 1: in tennis, you do have Martina Navabrella, someone who's very 426 00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:47,617 Speaker 1: important to the legacy of the sport, saying that no, 427 00:25:47,897 --> 00:25:52,497 Speaker 1: it is not fair to have a biological male who 428 00:25:52,537 --> 00:25:57,497 Speaker 1: prevents his female competing against the biological women because the 429 00:25:57,577 --> 00:26:02,057 Speaker 1: two sexes and the two genders are physiologically created differently. 430 00:26:02,457 --> 00:26:05,377 Speaker 1: It does require the people with the most power to 431 00:26:05,457 --> 00:26:08,417 Speaker 1: say it. It's and its sports have always been like this, 432 00:26:08,937 --> 00:26:11,257 Speaker 1: and it's why it was such a show of strength 433 00:26:11,617 --> 00:26:16,537 Speaker 1: when you had top global tennis players like naomiosoft Funds 434 00:26:16,657 --> 00:26:20,057 Speaker 1: Arna Williams speaking out over the disappearance of Penshui in 435 00:26:20,137 --> 00:26:24,577 Speaker 1: China versus the absolute craven behavior that we see from 436 00:26:24,617 --> 00:26:27,377 Speaker 1: the NBA and the NFL. You know, you've taught people 437 00:26:27,417 --> 00:26:30,417 Speaker 1: like Lebron who refused everyone call out anything except for 438 00:26:30,737 --> 00:26:35,337 Speaker 1: something sexy and good, like on the blee so the 439 00:26:36,177 --> 00:26:41,417 Speaker 1: Athlete Allies Athlete Allies an organization that fights to include 440 00:26:41,417 --> 00:26:45,457 Speaker 1: trans athletes in sports, and tweeted out bena's new eligibility 441 00:26:45,457 --> 00:26:52,777 Speaker 1: criteria for transgender athletes and athletes with intersex variations is discriminatory, harmful, unscientific, 442 00:26:53,097 --> 00:26:55,697 Speaker 1: and not online with the twenty twenty one IOC principles. 443 00:26:55,897 --> 00:26:57,817 Speaker 1: If we truly want to protect women sports, you must 444 00:26:57,817 --> 00:27:00,577 Speaker 1: include all women. So, I mean, there are organizations that 445 00:27:00,577 --> 00:27:03,577 Speaker 1: are saying these are women just like any other women, 446 00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:08,017 Speaker 1: and it is bigoted to pretend otherwise, like there are 447 00:27:08,137 --> 00:27:11,857 Speaker 1: there are full on fantasy land people out there. Yeah, 448 00:27:11,897 --> 00:27:14,377 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a hill that the ACLU and 449 00:27:14,457 --> 00:27:17,417 Speaker 1: the Human Rights Campaign have been dying on for years, 450 00:27:17,457 --> 00:27:20,257 Speaker 1: even though I mean, you can correct me on the 451 00:27:20,337 --> 00:27:24,057 Speaker 1: exact time, but if I recall correctly a book, it 452 00:27:24,097 --> 00:27:26,977 Speaker 1: was not even a decade ago that women were taken 453 00:27:26,977 --> 00:27:29,817 Speaker 1: out of competition if they did you know, genetic or 454 00:27:29,857 --> 00:27:32,417 Speaker 1: hormonal testing, and they were found to have too much 455 00:27:32,497 --> 00:27:37,737 Speaker 1: to stosterone present and they weren't even clinically diagnosed as intersects. Right, 456 00:27:38,137 --> 00:27:41,297 Speaker 1: you have female competitors who have been disqualified because they 457 00:27:41,297 --> 00:27:44,537 Speaker 1: have the presence of too much male hormones. So and 458 00:27:44,657 --> 00:27:47,057 Speaker 1: that was again in my living memory and I'm not 459 00:27:47,137 --> 00:27:51,497 Speaker 1: that old. So we are. You have the radical group 460 00:27:51,537 --> 00:27:55,217 Speaker 1: of activists trying to reinvent the wheel with regards to science, 461 00:27:55,697 --> 00:27:59,857 Speaker 1: things that are verifiable facts, and not doing so about 462 00:28:00,097 --> 00:28:03,177 Speaker 1: who can play in the peewee league against you know, 463 00:28:03,377 --> 00:28:08,297 Speaker 1: you're four year old, But who is eligible for Olympic medals? 464 00:28:08,297 --> 00:28:12,177 Speaker 1: Who is eligible for end see double A scholarships that 465 00:28:12,337 --> 00:28:18,577 Speaker 1: wind up becoming massive opportunities for educational gender equality. That's 466 00:28:18,657 --> 00:28:21,537 Speaker 1: what they're trying to dictate. And I think that they 467 00:28:21,617 --> 00:28:23,897 Speaker 1: might have gone a little bit too far. I think 468 00:28:23,897 --> 00:28:27,137 Speaker 1: if you don't have Leah Thomas seen as an actual 469 00:28:27,217 --> 00:28:30,937 Speaker 1: contender for the next round of Olympic Games, for the 470 00:28:31,017 --> 00:28:35,377 Speaker 1: twenty four Olympic Games, I don't know if you have 471 00:28:35,537 --> 00:28:39,017 Speaker 1: this declaration. So maybe it's just they overshop their hand 472 00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:40,617 Speaker 1: and now there has to be a pushback, and you 473 00:28:40,657 --> 00:28:42,537 Speaker 1: and I should see this is a good thing, even 474 00:28:42,577 --> 00:28:46,057 Speaker 1: if it is couched in a little more liberal, squishy 475 00:28:46,177 --> 00:28:50,337 Speaker 1: language of inclusivity. Whatever gets the job done, whatever reflects 476 00:28:50,377 --> 00:28:55,817 Speaker 1: the most truth and science, that is what's best. Dana. 477 00:28:55,977 --> 00:28:59,177 Speaker 1: I always appreciate seeing you. Thanks so much, Thank you, 478 00:28:59,257 --> 00:29:04,497 Speaker 1: Buff all right, coming up, does the left actually want 479 00:29:04,537 --> 00:29:07,257 Speaker 1: to use the government to censor speech online more than 480 00:29:07,297 --> 00:29:10,777 Speaker 1: we had ever anticipated before. Our friend and Wine Garden 481 00:29:10,857 --> 00:29:13,137 Speaker 1: from Real Clear Investigation is going to join to answer 482 00:29:13,177 --> 00:29:21,057 Speaker 1: that question. Stick around. Each morning, the President of the 483 00:29:21,097 --> 00:29:24,137 Speaker 1: United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most 484 00:29:24,177 --> 00:29:27,537 Speaker 1: important issues facing the country. It's called the President's Daily 485 00:29:27,577 --> 00:29:32,017 Speaker 1: Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, 486 00:29:32,017 --> 00:29:34,817 Speaker 1: now you can hear your very own PDB in the 487 00:29:34,857 --> 00:29:37,817 Speaker 1: form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, 488 00:29:38,097 --> 00:29:42,017 Speaker 1: a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern, 489 00:29:42,097 --> 00:29:44,257 Speaker 1: I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most 490 00:29:44,257 --> 00:29:47,817 Speaker 1: important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence 491 00:29:47,817 --> 00:29:57,417 Speaker 1: and analysis you need to start your morning. It's going 492 00:29:57,497 --> 00:30:01,697 Speaker 1: to pause. There's been a mischaracterations from outside outside forces, 493 00:30:01,977 --> 00:30:03,377 Speaker 1: and so in that word we're going to do is 494 00:30:03,657 --> 00:30:05,497 Speaker 1: we're going to pause it and we're going to do 495 00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,137 Speaker 1: an assessment. But the work does. The work doesn't stop. 496 00:30:08,137 --> 00:30:10,217 Speaker 1: We're still going to continue the work. The dh AS 497 00:30:10,297 --> 00:30:14,297 Speaker 1: is still going to continue to ard. So they told 498 00:30:14,417 --> 00:30:16,657 Speaker 1: us just last month that they were going to stop 499 00:30:16,697 --> 00:30:22,177 Speaker 1: the disinformation Governance Board the DGB because it sounded like 500 00:30:22,217 --> 00:30:25,137 Speaker 1: a ministry of truth and that freaks people out, understandably, 501 00:30:25,377 --> 00:30:29,697 Speaker 1: So yeah, they decided that that wasn't going to fly. 502 00:30:30,697 --> 00:30:34,937 Speaker 1: But then it seems that they still had the urge 503 00:30:35,137 --> 00:30:40,017 Speaker 1: to police speech online using government resources. So maybe now 504 00:30:40,057 --> 00:30:41,697 Speaker 1: they're trying to be more clever about it, because there's 505 00:30:41,697 --> 00:30:47,537 Speaker 1: some talk of a two point oh Disinformation Governance Board effort. 506 00:30:47,897 --> 00:30:50,937 Speaker 1: What's really going on here? Talk to our friend Ben Weingarten, 507 00:30:51,057 --> 00:30:56,257 Speaker 1: a deputy editor of investigations at Real Clear Investigations. Ben, 508 00:30:56,257 --> 00:30:59,977 Speaker 1: what's up? Man? As gen Buck always a pleasure, always 509 00:31:00,017 --> 00:31:03,777 Speaker 1: fun to talk about these fantastic topics like our government 510 00:31:04,097 --> 00:31:07,537 Speaker 1: being as orwellian as it possibly can be. Yeah, I mean, 511 00:31:07,617 --> 00:31:10,617 Speaker 1: here is just the announcement of this new White House 512 00:31:10,697 --> 00:31:14,737 Speaker 1: task force that sunds to some people like DGB two 513 00:31:14,817 --> 00:31:19,977 Speaker 1: point zero. The President signed a Presidential memorandum officially establishing 514 00:31:19,977 --> 00:31:24,097 Speaker 1: this task force, advancing the Biden Harris Administration's commitment to 515 00:31:24,177 --> 00:31:27,857 Speaker 1: prevent and address all forms of gender based violence wherever 516 00:31:27,937 --> 00:31:31,937 Speaker 1: it occurs. This task Force will address the pervasive problem 517 00:31:31,977 --> 00:31:36,657 Speaker 1: of online harassment and abuse, which disproportionately targets women, girls, 518 00:31:36,697 --> 00:31:45,457 Speaker 1: and LGBTQI plus people, lgbtq I plus people. That was 519 00:31:45,497 --> 00:31:47,577 Speaker 1: the longest version of the acronym I've ever heard. But 520 00:31:47,617 --> 00:31:50,777 Speaker 1: as an asside, or rather back to topic at hand, 521 00:31:50,817 --> 00:31:55,177 Speaker 1: from the aside, what are they talking about? Yeah, the 522 00:31:55,217 --> 00:31:57,897 Speaker 1: first thing that comes to mind when I think about this, well, 523 00:31:57,937 --> 00:32:01,497 Speaker 1: two things. One, when they say gender based violence, what 524 00:32:01,577 --> 00:32:07,417 Speaker 1: they mean is rhetoric that challenges the radical sexual identity 525 00:32:07,457 --> 00:32:11,817 Speaker 1: agenda or gender identity agenda that the Left is pushing 526 00:32:12,017 --> 00:32:16,937 Speaker 1: full borewidth, and that this administration in particular is incredibly 527 00:32:16,977 --> 00:32:21,537 Speaker 1: aggressive with in terms of promoting quote unquote gender affirming care, 528 00:32:21,897 --> 00:32:26,497 Speaker 1: including for minors, and they're pushing back on states via 529 00:32:26,577 --> 00:32:30,937 Speaker 1: the DOJ, threatening them to the extent States step in 530 00:32:30,977 --> 00:32:32,537 Speaker 1: and say, wait a minute, this is a little bit 531 00:32:32,537 --> 00:32:37,137 Speaker 1: crazy for children to be potentially mutilating themselves above and 532 00:32:37,177 --> 00:32:39,577 Speaker 1: beyond the wishes of their parents, and when they're obviously 533 00:32:39,657 --> 00:32:42,697 Speaker 1: under eighteen. But setting that aside, one thing is a 534 00:32:42,817 --> 00:32:45,777 Speaker 1: gender based violence. But they're talking about speech, and they 535 00:32:45,817 --> 00:32:49,457 Speaker 1: equate speech with violence here, But then they're perfectly okay 536 00:32:49,497 --> 00:32:52,057 Speaker 1: with actual violence out on the streets when it's in 537 00:32:52,097 --> 00:32:55,897 Speaker 1: service of their agenda. The second aspect of this is 538 00:32:56,217 --> 00:32:59,257 Speaker 1: This is about silencing the likes of lives of TikTok 539 00:32:59,537 --> 00:33:02,617 Speaker 1: and anyone else who dares holds up a mirror to 540 00:33:02,977 --> 00:33:06,897 Speaker 1: what the left actually believes on these issues. With taxpayer 541 00:33:06,897 --> 00:33:10,337 Speaker 1: funded drag Queen Story Hour at your local school or 542 00:33:10,377 --> 00:33:14,577 Speaker 1: in your public library and the like. This is absolutely 543 00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:19,417 Speaker 1: just a cudgel, just a means to get into policing 544 00:33:19,457 --> 00:33:23,057 Speaker 1: speech that frankly, already the social media platforms are policing. 545 00:33:23,097 --> 00:33:25,577 Speaker 1: I mean they silence everyone and their mother when it 546 00:33:25,577 --> 00:33:28,977 Speaker 1: comes to quote unquote misgendering someone. If you call Rachel 547 00:33:29,057 --> 00:33:32,617 Speaker 1: Leavin a man on Twitter, you're liable to get banned. 548 00:33:32,937 --> 00:33:35,017 Speaker 1: So that's what I see this task for us as 549 00:33:35,057 --> 00:33:40,177 Speaker 1: being just another incarnation of is let's find another way 550 00:33:40,497 --> 00:33:44,057 Speaker 1: to silence people on a subject who don't go along 551 00:33:44,137 --> 00:33:48,257 Speaker 1: with our chosen narrative. Then, in your piece on real 552 00:33:48,297 --> 00:33:52,137 Speaker 1: clear investigations, you're at the memo called for DHS respond 553 00:33:52,137 --> 00:33:55,737 Speaker 1: to disinformation in areas where there are clear objective facts, 554 00:33:55,737 --> 00:34:01,337 Speaker 1: such as medical evidence regarding COVID and factual information about 555 00:34:01,337 --> 00:34:06,377 Speaker 1: election administration and security. So basically you've got free speech 556 00:34:06,417 --> 00:34:09,257 Speaker 1: as long as doesn't coincide with the most important and 557 00:34:09,377 --> 00:34:12,977 Speaker 1: contentious topics of national debate at any given time that 558 00:34:13,057 --> 00:34:18,457 Speaker 1: Democrats want to dominate, right in a nutshell, Yes, and 559 00:34:18,577 --> 00:34:21,537 Speaker 1: of course when you're talking about elections. The way that 560 00:34:21,657 --> 00:34:23,617 Speaker 1: the courts have looked at this, and I think it's 561 00:34:23,617 --> 00:34:25,057 Speaker 1: the right way to look at it's the way the 562 00:34:25,057 --> 00:34:28,297 Speaker 1: founders looked at it, is that political speech is the 563 00:34:28,377 --> 00:34:33,417 Speaker 1: core of protected speech, and what you're quoting from. There 564 00:34:33,457 --> 00:34:38,057 Speaker 1: are some of the planning documents around no No promin 565 00:34:38,377 --> 00:34:44,257 Speaker 1: around the DGB that Senators Grassley and Holly obtained from 566 00:34:44,337 --> 00:34:49,537 Speaker 1: a whistleblower, and of course Secretary Alejandro Maorcas of DHS 567 00:34:49,897 --> 00:34:51,817 Speaker 1: talked about the fact that you know, the DGB isn't 568 00:34:51,937 --> 00:34:57,017 Speaker 1: focused on domestic issues and domestic dissenting voices. It only 569 00:34:57,057 --> 00:35:01,657 Speaker 1: cares about quote unquote irregular migration and Russian disinformation on 570 00:35:01,697 --> 00:35:04,297 Speaker 1: the eve of the elections. But actually, in fact, in 571 00:35:04,337 --> 00:35:07,537 Speaker 1: the very planning documents, the very memo that served as 572 00:35:07,577 --> 00:35:11,377 Speaker 1: the basis of the recommendation to create the EGb, the 573 00:35:11,457 --> 00:35:15,417 Speaker 1: first things they list under dangerous Misinformation to the Homeland 574 00:35:15,777 --> 00:35:19,297 Speaker 1: are of course on election integrity and COVID nineteen. And 575 00:35:19,337 --> 00:35:22,337 Speaker 1: this shouldn't surprise anyone by the way that there was 576 00:35:22,377 --> 00:35:27,417 Speaker 1: an explicitly domestic focus here, because for months now we've seen, 577 00:35:27,617 --> 00:35:31,097 Speaker 1: as we've talked about before, these threat bulletins put out 578 00:35:31,097 --> 00:35:34,057 Speaker 1: by the Department of Homeland Security talking about the fact 579 00:35:34,257 --> 00:35:37,977 Speaker 1: that dangerous misinformation, particularly around what else but COVID nineteen 580 00:35:38,017 --> 00:35:42,537 Speaker 1: and election integrity, contributes to the heightened threat environment to 581 00:35:42,737 --> 00:35:46,537 Speaker 1: the homeland. All along. The entire narrative that they've been 582 00:35:46,537 --> 00:35:50,057 Speaker 1: putting forward since really before January six, twenty twenty one, 583 00:35:50,617 --> 00:35:53,137 Speaker 1: is that if you dare dissent on any issue that 584 00:35:53,177 --> 00:35:56,177 Speaker 1: we consider to be important to cement our power, we 585 00:35:56,257 --> 00:35:58,177 Speaker 1: are going to treat you. We're going to set your 586 00:35:58,257 --> 00:36:00,177 Speaker 1: threat to the homeland in reality, we're going to treat 587 00:36:00,217 --> 00:36:03,697 Speaker 1: you as a threat to our regime, our power, our narrative, 588 00:36:03,857 --> 00:36:05,977 Speaker 1: and go after you. And that's how you end up 589 00:36:05,977 --> 00:36:10,697 Speaker 1: with this same regime targeting parents like terrorists. So what 590 00:36:10,897 --> 00:36:14,257 Speaker 1: is the role of social media companies going to be 591 00:36:14,457 --> 00:36:18,857 Speaker 1: in this newly imagined DGB two point zero world? And 592 00:36:18,937 --> 00:36:21,497 Speaker 1: what do they expect the social media companies to do? 593 00:36:22,017 --> 00:36:25,417 Speaker 1: I mean, aren't they already doing it? Yeah? You know, 594 00:36:25,457 --> 00:36:28,537 Speaker 1: there's an interesting aspect of this, which is that social 595 00:36:28,537 --> 00:36:32,017 Speaker 1: media companies, of their own volition already would go out 596 00:36:32,017 --> 00:36:34,817 Speaker 1: there and be censoring people, I think on all matter 597 00:36:34,897 --> 00:36:38,777 Speaker 1: of topics. Partially this goes back, of course to the 598 00:36:38,817 --> 00:36:41,257 Speaker 1: fact that they let the horror of all horrors happen. 599 00:36:41,377 --> 00:36:44,337 Speaker 1: They take it as they're being culpable for Trump getting 600 00:36:44,337 --> 00:36:46,977 Speaker 1: elected in twenty sixteen. Like it was social media companies 601 00:36:47,017 --> 00:36:49,657 Speaker 1: has fought for allowing the bad Orange Man to use 602 00:36:49,697 --> 00:36:53,537 Speaker 1: their platforms and rise to power. Also, of course, the 603 00:36:53,617 --> 00:36:57,937 Speaker 1: Democrat Party is in large part in hock to big tech, 604 00:36:58,177 --> 00:37:01,097 Speaker 1: which is of course in Silicon Valley primarily, so that 605 00:37:01,137 --> 00:37:04,177 Speaker 1: would explain in part why they take these positions. But 606 00:37:04,217 --> 00:37:06,577 Speaker 1: there's a push and pull here, and that is that 607 00:37:06,857 --> 00:37:09,137 Speaker 1: the regime itself gives them an excuse to do the 608 00:37:09,177 --> 00:37:12,297 Speaker 1: censorship they probably we already liked to do by saying 609 00:37:12,497 --> 00:37:15,177 Speaker 1: you need to police your platforms because this poses a 610 00:37:15,177 --> 00:37:17,697 Speaker 1: threat to the homeland. Whatever we say at a given 611 00:37:17,697 --> 00:37:20,457 Speaker 1: time poses a threat. And what these documents show is 612 00:37:20,497 --> 00:37:23,057 Speaker 1: that in spite of the fact that the administration tries 613 00:37:23,097 --> 00:37:26,257 Speaker 1: to wash its hands of its control over social media, 614 00:37:26,417 --> 00:37:29,857 Speaker 1: there's a planning memo for a meeting between DHS officials 615 00:37:29,977 --> 00:37:33,337 Speaker 1: and Twitter executives talking about in the words of the document, 616 00:37:33,777 --> 00:37:39,697 Speaker 1: operationalizing the relationship between DHS and Twitter. Of course we 617 00:37:39,737 --> 00:37:43,377 Speaker 1: already see that the relationships operationalize. But once again my 618 00:37:43,537 --> 00:37:46,697 Speaker 1: orchists himself said, this is not an operational entity. It's 619 00:37:47,337 --> 00:37:50,337 Speaker 1: it's just a board. They just discuss things and coordinate 620 00:37:50,417 --> 00:37:53,617 Speaker 1: some activities. No operations. Well no, In fact, it was 621 00:37:53,697 --> 00:37:58,097 Speaker 1: precisely planning to help police police speech by deputizing a 622 00:37:58,137 --> 00:38:00,577 Speaker 1: big tech platform. And of course the administration has been 623 00:38:00,577 --> 00:38:03,337 Speaker 1: doing this for months, using the bully pulpit and threatening 624 00:38:03,337 --> 00:38:06,137 Speaker 1: and basically you've had Jens Hockey saying if one platform 625 00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:08,937 Speaker 1: d platform someone, all out of d platform someone. The 626 00:38:08,977 --> 00:38:12,177 Speaker 1: Surgeon General comes out, he says, you have to police COVID. 627 00:38:12,257 --> 00:38:15,577 Speaker 1: Wrong think. We now see, of course the climates are 628 00:38:15,777 --> 00:38:18,617 Speaker 1: talking about the fact that you have to curb speech 629 00:38:18,817 --> 00:38:21,937 Speaker 1: that conflicts with the agenda on global warming. So it 630 00:38:21,977 --> 00:38:24,657 Speaker 1: goes on and on anything. The regime doesn't like that 631 00:38:24,737 --> 00:38:27,297 Speaker 1: you say they're going to use big tech to police, 632 00:38:28,817 --> 00:38:32,297 Speaker 1: then good of you to join. Thanks so much. Oh 633 00:38:32,337 --> 00:38:37,137 Speaker 1: it's a pleasure. All right, We've got some great stories 634 00:38:37,137 --> 00:38:38,817 Speaker 1: for you up next. In quick Hits, stay with US 635 00:38:45,977 --> 00:38:50,137 Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris grossly distorts a part of the 636 00:38:50,177 --> 00:38:56,017 Speaker 1: abortion debate and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, also former 637 00:38:56,057 --> 00:38:59,297 Speaker 1: Harvard President member him from the Social Network movie. He 638 00:38:59,377 --> 00:39:02,697 Speaker 1: says the recessions coming, and he's probably right. We'll talk 639 00:39:02,737 --> 00:39:06,937 Speaker 1: about this right now in quick hits. If you're looking 640 00:39:07,017 --> 00:39:11,897 Speaker 1: for a stude constitutional analysis, no analysis of any kind, 641 00:39:12,497 --> 00:39:14,617 Speaker 1: Thamala Harris is not the person you're going to want 642 00:39:14,617 --> 00:39:19,417 Speaker 1: to return to. Kamala Harris has been a remarkably inapt 643 00:39:19,657 --> 00:39:24,217 Speaker 1: vice president, even by Democrat standards. They can't even prop 644 00:39:24,297 --> 00:39:27,337 Speaker 1: her up and make it seem like she really knows 645 00:39:27,417 --> 00:39:30,977 Speaker 1: what she's doing. So there are clear issues at play 646 00:39:31,017 --> 00:39:36,857 Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris on any level of analysis. But here 647 00:39:36,897 --> 00:39:39,817 Speaker 1: she is telling everybody that abortion Now she's putting on 648 00:39:39,857 --> 00:39:43,097 Speaker 1: the theologians robe if you will, or I guess theologian 649 00:39:43,137 --> 00:39:47,897 Speaker 1: hat priest's robe. Whatever she's saying on the issue of abortion, 650 00:39:47,977 --> 00:39:49,737 Speaker 1: no one has to abandon their faith when it comes 651 00:39:49,737 --> 00:39:52,937 Speaker 1: to killing babies. Watch, so we're gonna see. I've been 652 00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:57,737 Speaker 1: convening as convene faith leaders, and you know, for those 653 00:39:57,777 --> 00:40:01,337 Speaker 1: of us a faith, I think that we agree, in 654 00:40:01,377 --> 00:40:04,417 Speaker 1: many of us, that there's nothing about this issue that 655 00:40:04,457 --> 00:40:08,657 Speaker 1: will require anyone to abandon their faith or change their faith. 656 00:40:09,377 --> 00:40:14,217 Speaker 1: It's simply saying that the government should not have the 657 00:40:14,297 --> 00:40:19,017 Speaker 1: ability to decide what an individual does with her own body. 658 00:40:20,257 --> 00:40:22,217 Speaker 1: What about vaccine shots? I mean, I'm just wondering, think 659 00:40:22,257 --> 00:40:24,977 Speaker 1: of think about how dishonest this stupid argument is that 660 00:40:25,017 --> 00:40:26,617 Speaker 1: she's making. You should be able to decide what to 661 00:40:26,657 --> 00:40:28,017 Speaker 1: do with your own body. First of all, there's another 662 00:40:28,017 --> 00:40:30,017 Speaker 1: body inside the body. That's the whole point, and that's 663 00:40:30,017 --> 00:40:32,137 Speaker 1: the beauty of being a mother and the miracle of 664 00:40:32,177 --> 00:40:35,617 Speaker 1: life that occurs during your pregnancy. But even beyond that, 665 00:40:35,657 --> 00:40:37,497 Speaker 1: they're making an argument about how you should just have 666 00:40:37,537 --> 00:40:40,537 Speaker 1: bodily autonomy when it comes to the government. Oh, unless 667 00:40:40,537 --> 00:40:42,537 Speaker 1: it comes to getting lots of shots in your arm, 668 00:40:42,577 --> 00:40:48,817 Speaker 1: and then that argument doesn't imply anymore at all. Just 669 00:40:49,337 --> 00:40:52,097 Speaker 1: grotesquely dishonest. But that's what the Democrat Party has become 670 00:40:52,257 --> 00:40:56,257 Speaker 1: as for a while. Unfortunately, Larry Summers, the former Obama 671 00:40:56,297 --> 00:41:01,297 Speaker 1: Treasury secretary's out there while the Biden regime primary talking 672 00:41:01,297 --> 00:41:04,057 Speaker 1: point is there's no recession. It's gonna be fine, it's 673 00:41:04,057 --> 00:41:08,017 Speaker 1: not inevitable. That's what they keep saying. Larry Summers like, actually, yeah, 674 00:41:08,017 --> 00:41:11,697 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be recession. I think all the precedents 675 00:41:11,897 --> 00:41:18,137 Speaker 1: point towards a recession. Recession, chuck. If you look at 676 00:41:18,177 --> 00:41:21,337 Speaker 1: a whole range of indicators, if you look at what's 677 00:41:21,377 --> 00:41:25,697 Speaker 1: happened in markets, if you look at the relative levels 678 00:41:25,737 --> 00:41:28,697 Speaker 1: of interest rates of different durations, if you look at 679 00:41:28,737 --> 00:41:34,777 Speaker 1: surveys of consumer expectations, and if you look at the 680 00:41:34,857 --> 00:41:41,137 Speaker 1: simple fact that what drives inflation is supply and demand. 681 00:41:41,737 --> 00:41:45,457 Speaker 1: Supply doesn't change that fast, and so mostly what you 682 00:41:45,537 --> 00:41:49,337 Speaker 1: need to do to reduce inflation is reduced demand. And 683 00:41:49,777 --> 00:41:54,297 Speaker 1: that is a very hard process to control, and so 684 00:41:54,337 --> 00:42:02,537 Speaker 1: it usually leads to recession. Usually leads to a recession. 685 00:42:03,297 --> 00:42:07,697 Speaker 1: Indeed it does. By the way, in Wisconsin, a first 686 00:42:07,697 --> 00:42:11,817 Speaker 1: grade teacher led students in a play of allegiance to 687 00:42:12,017 --> 00:42:20,617 Speaker 1: the Pan African flag. Watch and one face up on 688 00:42:20,737 --> 00:42:26,177 Speaker 1: the count of three, one, two, three, I pledge allegiance 689 00:42:26,457 --> 00:42:30,977 Speaker 1: to the flag of the Afro American people. Under God, 690 00:42:31,537 --> 00:42:38,697 Speaker 1: I will protect freedom, seek peace, honor our ancestors, and 691 00:42:38,977 --> 00:42:45,937 Speaker 1: encourage and support the development and prosperity of people of 692 00:42:46,177 --> 00:42:57,377 Speaker 1: African descent. You may be seated. I never seen that before. Interesting. Yeah, 693 00:42:57,417 --> 00:43:00,457 Speaker 1: and then there's doctor Fauci, who still thinks that anyone 694 00:43:00,457 --> 00:43:02,937 Speaker 1: should listen to him for any reason whatsoever, and he's 695 00:43:02,977 --> 00:43:05,057 Speaker 1: worried about all the untruths out there. Watch this one. 696 00:43:05,777 --> 00:43:09,617 Speaker 1: What we do have is something that's very disturbing in 697 00:43:09,737 --> 00:43:14,337 Speaker 1: this country is what I referred to as the normalization 698 00:43:14,417 --> 00:43:19,697 Speaker 1: of untruths. There's so much distortion of reality and conspiracy 699 00:43:19,777 --> 00:43:25,817 Speaker 1: theories that are spread widely by social media. Where you know, 700 00:43:25,897 --> 00:43:28,977 Speaker 1: social media can have a positive impact on society by 701 00:43:29,017 --> 00:43:36,297 Speaker 1: spreading important, productive information. But when you get total untruths 702 00:43:36,417 --> 00:43:42,377 Speaker 1: and act quietly quite frankly lies and absolute crazy distortions 703 00:43:42,377 --> 00:43:46,897 Speaker 1: of reality that get picked up spread through the social media. 704 00:43:48,857 --> 00:43:51,057 Speaker 1: I mean, he's there's the absolute worst. He really is. 705 00:43:51,617 --> 00:43:53,457 Speaker 1: That's everything I told. The line the nosepan News of 706 00:43:53,497 --> 00:44:12,337 Speaker 1: Bill Aroundy is next Fields High. Each morning, the President 707 00:44:12,377 --> 00:44:15,257 Speaker 1: of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on 708 00:44:15,297 --> 00:44:18,137 Speaker 1: the most important issues facing the country.

W Now you can hear your very own 711 00:44:25,217 --> 00:44:28,137 Speaker 1: PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me 712 00:44:28,497 --> 00:44:32,417 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.
