1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: I get to make fun of the navy tonight. That's 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: gonna feel good. And we're gonna talk about inflation and 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: that's not gonna feel good. All that's coming up and 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm right, welcome to I'm right. I'm Jesse Kelly. It's 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: time for this Week in Wokeism. Did you know the 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: Japanese fired on American cities off the Pacific coast in 7 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: World War Two? Did you know there were places in 8 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: New York City where you could look out and see 9 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: German U boats sinking American ships. A lot of people 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: don't realize this. The Japanese actually invaded and took over 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: American islands up in Alaska, and then we took them back. 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Why well, they crossed that vast blue thing you see 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: on your map called an ocean. You and I are blessed. 14 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: We are blessed to live in America. And I'm not 15 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: doing the normal USA thing. Although we should do more 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: of that, I'm not doing that. I want you to 17 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: understand how blessed you are to be here. You see, 18 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: America is more than just limited government place based on 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: Christian values. That's what our law systems are based on, 20 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: which whether you're a Christian or whatever you believe. You 21 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: want to live in a society like that. But we're 22 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: more than that. We're a country that has two massive advantages. 23 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Most nations do not have one. Natural resources. We're drowning 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: in them. Shoot are We've let our climate communists kneecappus 25 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: and we're still just drowning in natural resources. Goal and 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: oil and golden do you name it. We have it 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: all here, and that's not normal. And that's not just 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: because of the size of the nation. You look at 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: a country like Russia, way bigger than us for its size, 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: they actually don't have much of natural resources. We're just 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: in the land of plenty here. So that's one most 32 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Americans don't think about that. It's part of the reason 33 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: we're still wealthy too. Look at a map. Look at 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: a map of the United States of America. Do you 35 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: see those two big blue things, one off the east 36 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: coast and one off the west coast. Those are oceans, 37 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: big ones. They are natural barriers that have throughout our 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: history kept us fairly safe from harm. Now, I already 39 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: brought up World War Two, but things like the War 40 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: of eighteen twelve, the Revolutionary War, we've actually had American 41 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: cities burning, women and children dying. Why because naval vessels 42 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: from opposing nations were able to get by our navy. 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: You and I have taken for granted for a long 44 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: time because it's all we've ever known. It's not our fault. 45 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: All we've ever known is the safety of having two 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: big oceans. They're protecting us, and the world's greatest navy 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: keeping us safe. I am a marine. It pains me 48 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: to give the Navy any credit. Believe me when I 49 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: say that we have to have a strong navy. Even 50 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: our founding fathers who believed in tiny, tiny standing armies, 51 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: they thought they were a danger of liberty, that they 52 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: were all about the tiny military life. Even the founding 53 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: fathers knew America must have a strong navy. We simply must. 54 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: You understand what it means if we don't have a 55 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: strong navy, right, I want you. I want you to 56 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: understand this before I go into this new report that 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: came out about the navy. You understand what it means 58 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: if China is able to sweep our navy off the 59 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: seas and approach our shore unencumbered. You do understand that 60 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: means hundreds of thousands millions of Americans dead. You understand 61 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: what it means if China is able to park a 62 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: few battleships right off the coast of Los Angeles and 63 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: begin bombarding it. You know what that looks like. Buildings falling, 64 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: women and children dying in droves. Does it sound like 65 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to scare you? Good? Because I am. I 66 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: want you to do me a favor after the show tonight, 67 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: after you're done with the show, I want you to 68 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: go get a book on World War Two. Not a 69 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: normal book, not DDA or Pearl Harbor or Battle of 70 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: the Ball Drain to the high points, you know as 71 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: an American. I want you to go find books that 72 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: give you the Japanese perspective or the German perspective in 73 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: World War Two, what their civilians went through in Berlin 74 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: while the city was bombed into oblivion and the Russians 75 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: were coming into rape and pillage everything. I want you 76 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: to pick. I want you to read about the fire 77 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: bombing of Tokyo, where a hundred thousand citizens burned to death. 78 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: You don't want to lose a major war. You don't 79 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: know what that's like. I don't know what that's like. 80 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: I only know what I read. If we have a 81 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: navy that can be swept off the sea, we will 82 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: lose a major war and that means people dying by 83 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: the thousand, ten thousand million, if they so choose. Having 84 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: a navy prepared to stop China is that big of 85 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: a deal. So we have a new report out. We 86 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: commissioned a retired Marine Corps general or retired admiral. Some 87 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: Congress did this to do a report. They wanted to 88 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: know how bad is it in the Navy because the 89 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: Navy has had all these high profile problems. I mean, 90 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: it's more than just the standard headlines, which we'll get 91 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: into in a moment. Remember, there've been all these ship 92 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: collisions Iran. Iran has been seizing naval vessels. There is major, 93 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: major rot going on within the Navy, and everybody currently 94 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: serving they don't feel comfortable talking about it, at least 95 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: not putting their name on it, because then you end 96 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: your career. So what they did was they grabbed seventy 97 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: seven currently serving people in the Navy or have just retired, 98 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: currently serving or just retired, and they let them remain anonymous. 99 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: What they found, well, let's just be honest, this story 100 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: is going to be gone in twenty four hours and 101 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: you'll have forgotten about it. But what they've found maybe 102 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: the most dangerous thing going on in the world today. 103 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: Here are some things from the report. While programs to 104 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: encourage diversity, human sex trafficking prevention, suicide prevention, sexual assault prevention, 105 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: and others are appropriate, they come with the cost. The 106 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: non combat curriculate consume Navy resources, clogg inboxes, create administrative quagmires, 107 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: and monopolize precious training time. By weighing down soldiers with 108 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: non combat related training in administrative burdens, both Congress and 109 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: Navy leaders risk sending them into battle less prepared and 110 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: less focused than their opponents. I have quotes from some 111 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: of these serving members, and I want you to remember something. 112 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: Remember this. When I redo these quotes, who's the one 113 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: who's been telling you? There are only so many hours 114 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: in a day. If you train for a year to 115 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: kill me, and I trained for a year to kill you, 116 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: and I spend five hours a day making sure gay 117 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: people and women and trans and black people are comfortable, 118 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: and then the other five hours learning to kill you, 119 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: and you train all ten hours a day learning to 120 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: kill me. I'm going to die when we meet. I've 121 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: been warning you that time is finite. We don't have 122 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: time for this, and of course that's why the show 123 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: is called I'm right because I was right once again. 124 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: Remember when I read you these quotes. Remember this, China 125 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: is spending every waking moment thinking about murdering you. Remember 126 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: that this is from a Navy lieutenant. Sometimes I think 127 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers 128 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: than if we'll survive a fight with the Chinese Navy. 129 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: It's criminal. They think my only value is as a 130 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: black woman. But you cut our ship open with a 131 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: missile and we'll all bleed the same color. This is 132 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: from a Navy senior enlisted leader. I guarantee you every 133 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: unit in the Navy is up to speed on their 134 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: diversity training. I'm sorry that I can't say the name 135 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: of their ship. I can't say that for I can't 136 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: say the same of their ship handling training. Remember that 137 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: huge fire we had in San Diego. You know a 138 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: big part of naval vessels. You don't know about this. 139 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: It's not the sexy part of the Navy. Fire prevention 140 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: and putting out a fire. You must train for that. 141 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: Hours and hours and hours and hours a day, because 142 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: fire is death on these gigantic powder keg vessels full 143 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: of fuel and AMMO and everything else. And yet we 144 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: screw up time and time and time again. There is 145 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: nothing going on that could lead to a more catastrophic 146 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: loss of life right now than all this garbage. And 147 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something else, and this is going to 148 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: be wildly offensive, and I don't care. We are a 149 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: million miles away. In fact, not a single serving Republican 150 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: would even have the guts to say what I'm about 151 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: to say. But what I'm up to say is one 152 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: hundred percent right. We're a million miles away from having 153 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: the conversation that women shouldn't be aboard deployed naval vessels either. 154 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: They shouldn't. They have no place there. Why, Well, it's 155 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: not because women are bad. It's because women and men, 156 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: especially young women and young men. Throw them together on 157 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: a gigantic naval ship, sleeping right next to each other, 158 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: deployed for six months a year at a time. Well, 159 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: things are going to happen. And once things happened, drama happens. 160 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: And once drama half is you see where I'm going here. Now, 161 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: we're worried about the love boat, and we're not worried 162 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: about killing the Chinese military. It has been a humongous failure. 163 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: Every person I've talked to within the Navy admits it, 164 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: including the women within the Navy admitted. And not one 165 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: single elected Republican, even let alone Democrat, will bring up 166 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: women shouldn't be on these ships. I brought up these 167 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: collisions in the very beginning. Do you know I know 168 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: something about one of those collisions. I will not tell 169 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: you which collision, and I can't give out the name 170 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: because I am sworn to secrecy. You know why one 171 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: of those collisions happened because one of the women who 172 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: was supposed to be watching that part of the ship 173 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: that night got in a fight with her boyfriend on 174 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: the ship and did not go to her post. Never 175 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: read about that, did you. That's real again, that's not 176 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: anti women. That's men and women are how God made us, 177 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't be on ships together for six months 178 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: at a time if we want to live. Well, let's 179 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: move on. I debated whether or not to show this 180 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: too tonight because it is a family show, and it 181 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: always will be a family show. You're never gonna have 182 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: to turn this show off with your kids in the room. 183 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: You gotta go to the kitchen and grab some snacks 184 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: and leave the kids in fore the TV while I'm 185 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: rights on. You always feel comfortable doing that because I 186 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: have my own kids who watched the show, so I 187 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: get it. So I almost didn't want to say the name. 188 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: I didn't want to show show it to you, but 189 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: I do think it's important. Now. This took place in London. 190 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: This didn't take place in America, although stuff like this 191 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: takes place in America all the time. They had an 192 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: event for kids. Do you know who they brought in 193 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: for this event for kids. I'm only going to say 194 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: the name once, Rainbow. I'm not even gonna say the 195 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: whole name, Rainbow butt Monkey. I have parts of that 196 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: picture blurred out. You should be disgusted. Take the picture off. 197 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: We don't have to look at that anymore. But you 198 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: should take a lesson from this. Remember this. You you 199 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: care about your family, You care about your children, You 200 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: care about your culture, and I'm glad you do. You 201 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: should care about it very much. You're horrified right now 202 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,479 Speaker 1: by the culture you see spreading this infection, this perverse infection, 203 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: all across the America. You're horrified by it. I'm horrified 204 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: by it. That's good, we should be. But it's important 205 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: you and I understand something. This hasn't come close to 206 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: reaching its final form yet. Somebody called up that thing 207 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: on purpose so they could make sure that thing was 208 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: dancing in front of your children. Remember that someone did 209 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: that on purpose. These people are not stopping, they're not 210 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: slowing down. They're not looking in the mirror and saying 211 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: to themselves, Ah, you know, I think we've gone far enough. 212 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: They are full speed ahead. We are in that kind 213 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: of a serious culture war right now. We had better 214 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: start engaging a lot, and not to be more forceful 215 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: about it. Oh remember what I've been telling you about universities. 216 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you should stop sending your kids there. Well, you 217 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: tell me, do you want to send your kids to 218 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Penn State? Bro?

Just I want you to be honest with yourself. 284 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. What were you saying when 285 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: coronavirus hit our shores. Were you all about fifteen days 286 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: to slow the spread? I know a lot of people 287 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: were I don't, I don't know. I don't need you 288 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: to email me again, just want you to think about that. 289 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: What were you saying that this sounds bad, we should 290 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: go home for a couple of weeks and just see. 291 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: Let's just let's take our remote control and pause the economy. 292 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: We'll just press pose. That's how they work, right, Were 293 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: you saying that? And then coronavirus was going along, and 294 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: since fifteen days to slow the spread was so popular, 295 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: they just kept telling people, Wow, another month, another two months. Oh, whoa, 296 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: turns out some people were hurting out there. I guess 297 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: people have to have to actually work to earn a paycheck. 298 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: That's so weird. Were you one of the people pushing 299 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: for Congress to pass these massive stimulus bills? Were you? 300 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: You know they were printing trillions, revenues weren't coming in 301 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: because they stopped the economy. And then on top of 302 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: the printing trillions, just pass stimulus bill after stimulus bill 303 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: because we don't want to be compassionate, right, that's the 304 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: nice thing to do. Let's send everyone a check of course. 305 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: Oh whoa that unemployment is enough. Let's raise those rates too. 306 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: Let's pay everybody. Let's just pay everything not to keep 307 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: that printing press going. We need trillions into the economy. 308 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: Let's set aside Joe Biden for a moment. Let's set 309 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: aside Democrats. Yes, I understand that they share a probably 310 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: lie and share the blame for this. Let's deal with 311 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: what you and I can deal with. Let's deal with 312 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: you and I. What were you saying back when the 313 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: big scary virus king, If you were all about that 314 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: lockdown life, and you were all about the past this 315 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: bill and past that bill and Republicans need to be 316 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: nice and generous, And if you were all about that, 317 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: then I don't want to hear your complaints about inflation. 318 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: Inflation doesn't come because of what happened yesterday. Things lead 319 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: up to inflation. There are laws in economics, laws, not theories. 320 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: You cannot print unbacked currency that at that level and 321 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: expect anything but inflation. Of course we have inflation. Why 322 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: do we have inflation? Because we are a panicky, spineless 323 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 1: nation who ran home and hid under our beds and 324 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: told the government to pass stimulus bills. When a new 325 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: virus hit our shores. I'm at about inflation too. I 326 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: gotta pay grocery bills same as you do. Fill up 327 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: my car with gas. I know, I get the phone 328 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: calls from my wife.

I know, I know we did it 330 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: to ourselves panic and as a cost, and the cost 331 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: is really I you're feeling it now, aren't you?

Nobody thinks that I can take 337 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: their house and borrow against the house. Oh no, I 338 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: have title insurance for that. No, it's it's in my name. 339 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: Or he would have to get some special document. They 340 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: would call me. You know what, he's calling you after 341 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: I've stolen the title, barred against it, or sold the property, 342 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: or done whatever I've done with it. It's sixty to 343 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: ninety days even figure out that they're the victim of 344 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: this crime.

We got Pastor Darrell Scott 355 00:20:54,359 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: coming up next the joining me now. One of my 356 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: favorite guests, Pastor Daryl Scott. He's the author of the 357 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: book Nothing to Lose, Unlikely Allies in the Struggle for 358 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: a Better Black America. Pastor, I'm gonna play you this 359 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: video of Joe Biden. He made these stupid Civil War 360 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: comments yesterday, and I'm gonna play it for you and 361 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: everyone else. I'm sure you've seen them and they got 362 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: everybody mad. But really, what it told me is there's 363 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: just a bunch of children writing Joe Biden's speeches in 364 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: the White House. Look at this, so hear me. Clearly, 365 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: there's an unfolding assaul taking place in America to day, 366 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: an attempt to suppress and subvert right to vote free elections. 367 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: We're facing the most significant test of our democracy sense 368 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: the Civil war sense the Civil War. Confederates back then 369 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: never breached the capital as insurrections did in January sixth. Pastor, Honestly, 370 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: I hear a twenty year old SoC sociology student there, 371 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: and that's all I hear in my off base. No, 372 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: you're not off base at all. But to be quiet, honest, 373 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: we have to give what Joe says a little queenland. 374 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: Since he was alive during the Civil War, that's not 375 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: what if I'm not mistaken, was it the war in 376 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: eighteen twelve when they actually burned the White House? Remembered 377 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: that too, he was alive. The British Navy sailed right 378 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: up the chest that he can burn the White House down. 379 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: Look past it. In all seriousness, obviously, you and I 380 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: can laugh about this, and we can joke about it, 381 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: but there are a bunch of nutballs out there who 382 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: heard this rhetoric and they believe it. I mean, we 383 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: have to remember some Bernie Sanders supporters shot up a 384 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: bunch of GOP congressmen at baseball practice before. Is there 385 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: no self awareness on the left that maybe we should 386 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: filled down the racist Nazi Confederate talk just to touch now. 387 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: They don't care anything for political power. And you know 388 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: what else they don't do. They never take their foot 389 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: off the gas. You know, I'll look back into twenty 390 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: sixteen campaign. President Trump was pressing pretty hard about a 391 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: lot of different things and a lot of different people. 392 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: But once the election was over, he took his foot 393 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: off the gas somewhat to try to have a more measured, 394 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: temperate tone. But these Democrats, they don't care. They're not 395 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: taking the foot off once twenty twenty was as far 396 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: as they were concerned, victorious, They had their eyes on 397 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. They don't take their foot off the gas. 398 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: They keep that hate for rhetoric going because they're looking 399 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: at election after election after election, anything that they can 400 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: say that they think will help them win an election. 401 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: They don't care. One minute they're saying that voter IDs 402 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: are not required. Then they're turning around saying I never 403 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: said they would not. Because guys like Clyburne, I never 404 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: said that. I'm saying this. They have no problem flip 405 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: flopping and changing positions or switching sides and a change 406 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: of horses in the middle of the stream. They don't care. 407 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: They have no conscious and they have no filter. Does 408 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: it work? I mean, honestly, I see this kind of 409 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: stuff and I rolled my eyes or shake my head. 410 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: But they do have the presidency the House, and that 411 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: said it, maybe that's what we need to start doing. Clearly, 412 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: it's effective on some level, on some levels, it is 413 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: on other levels. It could come back and buy them 414 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: in the butt, simply because we video everything now and 415 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: so you can pull up a snippet or you can 416 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: pull up a sound bite from before. But you know, 417 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: you can pull a sound bite up and show it 418 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: to them and they'll say they didn't say it while 419 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: they watched themselves say it, and so you know, it's just, 420 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: you know, we do have to be more mindful of 421 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: the tactics of today's politician, and the Republican priority hasn't 422 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: catching up to do and we need to stay on 423 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: the offense at all times instead of being one of 424 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: the defense. And most of the time, why don't we 425 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: why do we like aggression? What is it about the 426 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: right we lack? It drives me crazy, Pastors. It's just 427 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: that the second somebody says something to a Republican, they're 428 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: They're hiding under their bed or I promise I'm one 429 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: of the good ones. It's embarrassing to watch. I do, 430 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: Miss Trump. I swear I do, because you know, we're 431 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be the party of the moral high ground, 432 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: and so in being the party of the moral high ground, 433 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: sometimes we think we have to take the high role. 434 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm not like that. I gotta take the low role. 435 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm taking a low roll. And you know, you know, 436 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: we claim our morality causes us to take the high 437 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: roll one Oftentimes, you know, we can be so there's 438 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: an expression we have in Christianity. Sometimes you're so heavenly minded, 439 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: you're no earthly good. And so we have to stop 440 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: being so heavenly minded. We have to look at the 441 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: trends in society and we have to deal with them 442 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: on that level. Sometimes we have to deal with things 443 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: on the level that things are on, rather than trying 444 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: to deal with something on another of the level from 445 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: our level. We gotta get dirty. We gotta dirty, man, 446 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: we gotta get done. I found out Jesse. When I 447 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: first started doing I went into a green. When I 448 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: first started doing hits on television, they hit me on 449 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: CNN a lot. I found out my best defense was 450 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: a strong offense, and I went straight in calling folks 451 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: clowns and idiots and buffoons and stupid, and I branded myself. 452 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: I branded myself as a hell raised and unfiltered guy 453 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: is liable to say anything. And that was my best defense. 454 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: The fact that we don't know what type of our 455 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: offensiness guy is gonna take, and you can't get an 456 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: just kick him around like that. And we need to 457 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: stop allowing them folks to kick us around and be 458 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: a strong and our and more blunt in our statements 459 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: and just taking a strong stance against stuff. Why aren't 460 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: you running for office? Someone else can take the reins 461 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: of the church for a while while you step away 462 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: into the senator or something. Hey, listen, they wanted me 463 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: to run for Congress a few years ago, and I 464 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: would have won. And they still keep coming back to 465 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: me every couple of years. But I have to be honest. Man, 466 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm too old and lazy and set in my ways. 467 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: I'm just self employed. But since nineteen eighty five. I 468 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: get up when I want to get up. I go 469 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: to bed when I want to go to bed. I 470 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: go to work when I want to go to work. 471 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: I don't go to way when I don't want to 472 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: go away.

Reject those who argue that us is a 492 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Christian nation. We are a pluralistic society, and pluralism is 493 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: a strength that must be defended. That's a pastor, That 494 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: jellyfish loser is a pastor. That man leads a church. 495 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do with these people?

Regardless 498 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: of what type of society that we are, we will 499 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: founded upon Juddale Christian principles, and so the principles of 500 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: our foundation is what we rest upon once getting Juddale principles. 501 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: And he can't deny that is just a guy who 502 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: doesn't want to take any type of stance. And as 503 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: a result, you know, he's blind leader of the blind, 504 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: like the Bible says, and everyone that's following him along 505 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: with him will fall into the ditch. And he's becoming 506 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: more the norm than an aberration. It used to be 507 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: guys like that. We're an aberration. Now they're becoming the 508 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: norm that they're allowing society to shape their message. They're 509 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: letting social trends determine the type of gospel that they preach, 510 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: or the message that they teach, or the way they 511 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: interpret the Bible that they read. And it's sad. Some 512 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: would call Jesse. Some were sent and some just went. 513 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: This guy belonged to the sun just went, but the 514 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: sun just went. Need to go, he needs to go, 515 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: an pastor. I know, I know you're I know you're 516 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: close with President Trump. I know you are, and I 517 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: know obviously if you had your brothers, he'd be president 518 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: right now. But that said, because he's more than just 519 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: a president, he's a friend of yours. Do you want 520 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: him to run again? And I don't. I wanted to 521 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: go into the beach with Milannia and sit my ties 522 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: virgin my ties in Trump's case, and go golf and 523 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: stuff like that. I don't want him to go through 524 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: it again. If I if I could think of a 525 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: better candidate than him, then maybe I wouldn't want to. 526 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: But what I you want him to do is and 527 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: I understand why he's not doing it, and he's actually 528 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: doing it very subtly, but we got to hit the 529 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: groundstyle campaign and now, um, even though he's doing it 530 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: in such a way that he doesn't have to be 531 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: subject to campaign restrictions and regulations and different things like that. 532 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: But um, right now, yesterday, I would like him to 533 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: run again. I would like him to be president again. Um, 534 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: a couple of years from now, we'll see. But I 535 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: just don't see a stronger candidate than him right now. Um. 536 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: You know, he he's like the dark Knight. He's what 537 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: Gotham needs right now. Maybe so in Gotha City we're 538 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: turning into Gothel City under under Biden. Yeah, well I don't. 539 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: I don't even think Biden would qualify as one of 540 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: the decent Batman villains. But that's another story entirely. Pastor 541 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: Darryl Scott, thank you so much, sir. All right, great, 542 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: but I'll call him two faces, sorry too, Base that's fair, 543 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: all right. Listen, your holster.

It 561 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: can be a little tough to make out as an 562 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: independent Cuban journalist detained by the dirty communist scum right 563 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: there on live TV. Joining me now to talk about 564 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: that is the host of the Follow the Profit podcast, 565 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: David Grosso. David uh Cuba is not messing around. I'm 566 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: actually surprised they would take that step on TV knowing 567 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: the word would get out. Why do they feel so bold? Well, 568 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, It's really interesting if we step back three 569 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: years ago. I was really surprised to see social media 570 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: allowed in Cuba. You know, Cuba's one of the last 571 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: hardline communist countries were remaining on the planet. And I 572 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: was really surprised to see my cousins and extended family 573 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Instagram. And I think what 574 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: we're seeing is finally letting the genie out of the bottle, 575 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: and now the government's lost complete control over time. David, obviously, 576 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: China came out and they stands ready to work with 577 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: Cuba and China's foreign ministries blaming us and things like that. 578 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: So setting aside stupid propaganda pieces like that, How big 579 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: are these protests? That's the question I get most. I've 580 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: been drowning in these questions for twenty four hours. People 581 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: don't know. Is this a little street thing that's going 582 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: to be gone in a day? Is the government going down? 583 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: How big are they? They're very big. Whether they'll take 584 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: down the government or not remains to be seen. The 585 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: last time we saw protests this big in the six 586 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: decades of the Castro regime. And you know, now they 587 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: have a new president that's basically hand picked by Raoul Castro, 588 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: who is of course Fidel's brother. We haven't seen protests 589 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: this big since nineteen ninety four. If you go back 590 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety four, they were struggling economically just like 591 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: they are now because of the Soviet Union fell and 592 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: they lost their free money from global communism, and we're 593 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: seeing much of the same thing today. They tried to 594 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: dedollarize the economy, which is of course has severe economic consequences, 595 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: and the pandemic is really taking a toll in the 596 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: Cuban economy, which is very dependent on tourism. But back 597 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: to your original question, it remains to be seen whether 598 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: this will take down the government. But this is definitely 599 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: much bolder and much more widespread than anything we've ever 600 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: seen in the past six decades in Cuba. What does 601 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: dedollarize the economy mean? What were they trying to do? 602 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: It's very simple. Every time the government runs out of 603 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: money in Cuba, they just pick up all the money 604 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: and they're literally looking to pick up all the foreign exchange. 605 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: It's actually very very common, and to us it's a 606 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: very foreign idea, right Like we'd probably be out in 607 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: the streets if they suddenly changed the currency on us. 608 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what you're seeing, right, if suddenly your 609 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: bank account, they were like, oh, you can no longer 610 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: have dollars, You're going to have you know, I don't know, pasos. 611 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: We'll call it whatever you want to call it. They 612 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: had two different types of currencies in Cuba, right, They 613 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: had one that was preferable to the other, and they 614 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: got rid of the preferable currency. At the same time, 615 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: they asked everyone not to hold dollars anymore, but open 616 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: these stores with a bunch of merchandise that most Cubans 617 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: don't have access to, and demanding a new type of 618 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: currency for those stores. So a lot of inside baseball here, 619 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: but bottom line is they picked up all the dollars, 620 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: they outlawed dollars and the last in the last year, 621 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: the Cuban economy has shrunk by eleven percent. That's nearly 622 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: an economic depression. So you can imagine just the shortages, 623 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: how hard life is, how hard it is to get food, fuel, 624 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: and just the basic necessities of life. What is the 625 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: Cuban economy? What is I mean? Obviously, all I know 626 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: is the past. I know they were a huge you 627 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: say they still are. I know They were a huge 628 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: tourist destination. It's supposed to be basically paradise down there. 629 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: I know sugarcane was huge. Is that still the kind 630 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: of thing they do? What is how do they make money? 631 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: It's really they don't. I mean, that's been the whole problem, 632 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 1: is that communism hollowed out their economy. Back in nineteen 633 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: fifty nine, which is when the Cuban Revolution started. Half 634 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: of my family's American right and they lived pretty similarly 635 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: to my family in Cuba. They both had fifty seven chevies. 636 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: They were entrepreneurs, they owned their own homes, and what 637 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: we've seen is the steady hollowing out of the Cuban economy. 638 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: Cuba was the world's largest sugar producer. Now they import sugar. 639 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: They import seventy percent of their food. Their tourism, which 640 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: right now is almost completely closed because of COVID, is 641 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: the only way they have access to dollars, and they 642 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: used to benefit from Venezuela as large as of course, 643 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: Venezuela is a similar regime but has access to oil dollars. 644 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: But Venezuela has been collapsing as well, and they've cut 645 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: off their help to Cuba. So this is just dollars 646 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: and cents. The government doesn't have enough money to keep 647 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: the lights on, literally, so the people are rebelling. David, 648 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: I want to play you something I'm sure you've seen. 649 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: Here's the head of our d DHS. The time is 650 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: never right to attempt migration by sea. To those who 651 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking. 652 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: Allow me to be clear. If you take to the sea, 653 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: you will not come to the United States. David, I 654 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: need you to explain that to me. It's one thing. 655 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 1: If we're stopping you know, Castro empties the jails, everyone 656 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: remembers that whole thing and tries to kick all those 657 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: people to America. The people trying to escape this regime 658 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: are not fleeing jail. They're fleeing communism. Our southern borders 659 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: wide open. Why are we not welcoming, I mean, at 660 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: least giving some asylum to these people want freedom. Well, 661 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, there's two ways to look at this. And 662 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: may I remind your viewers that Alejandro Mayorkas was born 663 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: in Havana, so you're looking at a Cuban born guys 664 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 1: say this. You know there's two ways to look at this. 665 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: Right until the Obama administration got rid of the wet 666 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: foot dry foot policy, which was the policy of a 667 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: Cuban stepped foot on dry soil, which is really confusing him. 668 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: From the Clinton era, they would automatically be granted asylum. 669 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: Well that went away in twenty seventeen. So that was 670 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: bad for individual people, including members of my family, But 671 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: it was good in a different way. You know what 672 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: it did. It took away that safety valve Cuba used 673 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: to export all their dissidents. Well guess what all those 674 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: dissidents remained, and look what happened in a matter of 675 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: three years Cuba. The problem is is that most of 676 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 1: us have left. Most of you have been to Miami 677 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: and you've seen that we've done pretty well abroad. But 678 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: unfortunately our country has never changed because too close to Florida. 679 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: So we're going on the third generation here in the 680 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: United States. We need some homegrown activism in Cuba. Of course, 681 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: I agree with helping people escape if they need to, 682 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: if their life is in danger, which seems to be 683 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: the case. But it seems like the problem here is 684 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: if people take to the high seas, though not only 685 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: will be many deaths, but the Castro regime could seize 686 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do exactly what you said, which is 687 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: empty their jails, get rid of all the dissidents, clamp down, 688 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: and continue being in power. Yeah, I guess that's it. Yeah, 689 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: here's what heavy D had to say about it. If 690 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: we're understanding the stakes, understanding why people are revolting, and 691 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: we're siding with the Cuban people, you could probably get 692 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: a lot of the policies right at that point. If 693 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: you go into it thinking that they're upset about a 694 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: vaccine shortage, or they're upset that there's not enough groceries 695 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: in the store, but they just want the regime to 696 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: change a few things around and kind of rearrange the 697 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: deck chairs on the Titanic. If that's which you think, 698 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 1: then you clearly have no hope of getting a favorable 699 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: outcome here. What do they want, David? What do they want? 700 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: Do they want freedom? That they just want food? I'm 701 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: trying to gauge what kind of movement we're dealing with here. 702 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the immediacy is food, right, But 703 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: I think they want the opportunity to economically empower themselves. 704 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: You know, sense social media came about my cousins see 705 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: how we live, and you can't put that genie back 706 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: in the bottle. Of course, democracy, liberal democracy and the 707 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: sense of you know, the political word right is what 708 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: everybody wants. That's the gold standard. Right. We want our 709 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: voices to be heard, we want freedom of expression, we 710 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: want the freedom to travel. I think, primarily, as you 711 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: call them, my governor, the big D is right. They 712 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: want economic freedom, and they are just rearranging the chairs 713 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: on the deck of the Titanic. The system simply does 714 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: not work, and there's no way around that. There's no 715 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: sense of rhetoric that can get around the fact that 716 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: the Cuban system is a failed system, and even countries 717 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 1: such as Chi have moved on from this failed system 718 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: and understand the need for some level of free markets. 719 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: David Grasso tell me about the follow Follow the Profit podcast, 720 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: So I do exactly what I'm doing now. I tell 721 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: people about how to view everything in the world in 722 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: terms of economics. And that sounds pretty boring, right most 723 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: of the time you'd see a tickerer and whatnot, but 724 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: it actually isn't. If you follow the profit and understand 725 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: the way the money rolls, you'll understand the way the 726 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: world works. The reason why Cuba doesn't want to reform 727 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: is because there are too many people stuck in the 728 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: way of reform, and they're making a lot of money, 729 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: including the Castro family, which according to conservative estimates, they're 730 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: all billionaires and they stash their money and elsewhere. So 731 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: follow the profit and you'll understand why change is so hard. 732 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: How many people are running Cuba? Is there one guy 733 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: at the top Central Communist Committee? How many people are 734 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: really holding power there? You know, it's unclear. We know 735 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 1: the polit Burrow. I mean, this is stuff that doesn't 736 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: exist in the world anymore. You know. The Castros are 737 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: clearly people who stand a lot to lose if they 738 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: lose power. Raoul Castro, who is the last remaining Castro 739 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 1: brother of the ones who were in power, is still alive, 740 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: but his kids are still around. There is a very 741 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: thin elite. In fact, one of the things that was 742 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: commented on by family when I was there. They would say, 743 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: you see people of power at the coffee shop, you 744 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: see people of power at the mall, and I go, yeah, 745 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: they live amongst you. So the answer to your question 746 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,959 Speaker 1: is the elite is hidden. They don't live among the people, 747 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: and it's a very opaque system. That's hard to understand, 748 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: especially for people who live outside of Cuba. David Grass, 749 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: So that was outstanding, Thank you, sir. Of course, always 750 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: a pleasure. All Right, children's books, we were told some lies, 751 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: and apparently we were told some truths. Stay tuned for 752 00:42:52,480 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: light in the mood next. All right, that's enough of 753 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: that muck for tonight. It's time to lighten the mood. 754 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: You know those children's books we all used to read 755 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: or were read to us. I thought most of those 756 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: things were complete garbage, but maybe maybe some of those 757 00:43:21,040 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: things were accurate. There you have it. I still don't 758 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: know what the whole moral of that story. Is Slow 759 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: and steady mean wins the race. What's that supposed to mean? 760 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: Oh well, I'll see you tomorrow.
