First of all, Biden almost sounds like he's 36 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: taken a page from the Maduro playbook in Venezuela of 37 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: shaking down the oil companies. At this point, you know what, 38 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: are we gonna start hearing about nationalization? Next? He's saying, 39 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: produce more for less money. The oil companies are like, dude, 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. We'll get into that in 41 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: a little bit. Also, Senator ramp Paul joining us here 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: to talk about the testimony that Fauci, who's got COVID, 43 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: gave this morning, we'll discuss that Kavala's got a new job. 44 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep you on the edge of your seat. 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: It's got a new part of the portfolio. I should 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: say the border thing didn't really go so well, did it. 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: But well, she's solving all the issues in the country. 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: She makes all the things not better. But the big 49 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: story that I think is getting people fired up, and 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: it's getting me fired up because mirror images in city 51 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: after city, clay all across the country, progressive prosecutor in 52 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: New York, crime violence, all of it gets worse in Houston. 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: I spoke to our friend Michael Barry about this reasons 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: and now, what's your prosecutor like down in Houston, progressive prosecutor. 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: They've had huge spike in murders the last couple of years, 56 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: the huge spike in shootings Los Angeles, San Francisco crime 57 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: through the roof. Gascone is the DA. Paul Gascone is 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: the DA in Los Angeles, and he is a progressive prosecutor. 59 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: He wants to end this mass incarceration situations. What they 60 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: all say, which just means let more people out of prison, 61 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: give them shorter sentences. Overall, here is the story as 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: we know it right now. Two police officers were killed 63 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: yesterday in eastern Los Angeles. Two Elmonte PD officers were shot. 64 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: Gave their lives serving their communities in their country. And 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: what you need to know about the shooter is that 66 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: he's a gang member, a gang member who actually had 67 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the name of his violent gang literally tattooed on his face. 68 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: He was a multiple offender. He had burglary charges, drug charges, 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: and a weapons charge. Now the weapons charge would have 70 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: triggered under California law Clay a third strike. This was 71 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: a felon in possession of a firearm. And instead of 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: actually going with a third strike, which is the law 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: in California, you have to serve real time, Gascone gave 74 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: him two years of probation, didn't serve any time in 75 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: prison for being a felon gang member in possession of 76 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: a firearm. Two police officers are now dead, their wives 77 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: receiving folded flags, their children now growing up without fathers, 78 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: and everyone's looking at Gascone and saying, these brave men 79 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: gave their lives. They shouldn't have been in jeopardy from 80 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: this gang member at all. How can anyone think the 81 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: Democrats are serious about crime, serious about guns clay when 82 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: they will literally violate their own state laws. Prosecutors like 83 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: Gascone will violate the laws of their state so that 84 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: they can go soft on a hardened gang member. Yeah, 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: this is part and parcel of the forty million dollars 86 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: that George Soro spent to get left wing prosecutors in 87 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: office who were not going to prosecute crimes. And you remember, 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: back before she dropped out as the White House spokesperson, 89 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: Jensaki was mocking Fox News for covering the soft on 90 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: crime concept. You remember that interview where she pointed at 91 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: Fox News and was like laughing, would we should pull 92 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: that audio? Its what a soft on crime even mean? Well, 93 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: this is what it means, Jen, This is when you 94 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: have someone who should be behind bars and takes the 95 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: life of our police officers. And on this show, even 96 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: though most will not mention them, Michael parodies Joseph Santana. 97 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Are the two police officers who lost their lives because 98 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: this gang member killed them, This man who should have 99 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: been behind bars. They have these two officers do five 100 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: young children between them. So when you start to think 101 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: about the consequences of what soft on crime means, it 102 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: puts brave police officers in danger. Again. Those guys names 103 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: Michael Parodies and Joseph Santana, two LA Area police officers, 104 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: five young children between them. Buck, those kids are going 105 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: to grow up without dads and those guys. If you 106 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: saw the video they were playing it on Fox News, 107 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: this guy was trying to attack his wife, who had 108 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: girlfriend who had checked into a hotel to try to 109 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: escape him, and you can see these officers responding and 110 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: running into that hotel room, and they were never going 111 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: to come out because they got shot. I believe as 112 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: soon as they got in there. They did kill him 113 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: in the gunfire exchange as well. Whatever silver lining three debts, 114 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: but this guy should have never been on the streets 115 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles and this is being replicated all over 116 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: the country where violent criminals are not being put behind bars. 117 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. We know that we could solve issues 118 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: with violent crime by doing two things. One put more 119 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: police officers on the streets and give them the ability 120 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: to do their job. And two, when those police officers 121 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: arrest people for committing acts of violence, put the criminals 122 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: behind bars to process that is guaranteed to lower the 123 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: overall crime rate everywhere Democrats won't do it, So the 124 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors have gotten their way and the country has suffered. 125 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: And as I've said, even if you live in a 126 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: rural area, relatively speaking, there's been a substantial increase nationwide 127 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: in violent crime and lots of different crime categories, even 128 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: in rural areas. And this has been a nationwide phenomenon. 129 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Wherever Democrats are in charge of the prosecutor's office or 130 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: the police department or the mayor's office, you have seen 131 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: things get worse. So now we're at the pushback phase. 132 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: Now people have recognized this, and that's why the Recall 133 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: George Gascon effort. You can go to Recall George Gascon 134 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: dot com slash petition. They've reached the five hundred and 135 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand signatures, but the people behind the petition 136 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: effort are saying they need to get to more to 137 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: like six hundred and fifty to seven hundred thousand because 138 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: of signature issues and any problems that may rise. They 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure they've got a clear margin. So 140 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: for anyone who lives in Los Angeles and can be 141 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: a part of this. We've got a great listen to 142 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: sign up today. Yeah, go do it today, because what 143 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: they find is some of these people falsify signatures and 144 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: when they go back and they check them, even if 145 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: you've reached your target limit, buck you need to be 146 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: well over it. Because this has become a major issue 147 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: everywhere with these recall petitions, they will try to falsify them. 148 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: Go sign up today. This guy needs to be out 149 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: of a job. Absolutely. Gascone has got to go. And 150 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear about how this requires. 151 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: This is one of these moments where we're really speaking 152 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: to and we've got Democrats who listen to this show. 153 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: We're actually we're actually bringing over and I keep saying, 154 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: you know, jump into the clay and buck pool, the 155 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: water is warm. These are Democrats who ousted Gascone. I'm sorry, 156 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: Alskid Boudan in San Francisco. And it will be largely, 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: not entirely. There's a million Republicans who live in Los 158 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: Angeles County. It might even be more than that now, 159 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: but there will have to be Democrats recognizing at some 160 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: level this goes this is so reckless and so dangerous 161 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: that it goes beyond politics. But also, Clay, how can 162 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: we take all the lecturing that we've received about and 163 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: they need to do with guns and take guns seriously 164 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: in recent weeks. Don't you want to stop violence? Why 165 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: don't you have magazine limitations? How about getting violent gang 166 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: bangers found illegally with a firearm and previous felony convictions. 167 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: How about locking them up and not worrying about mass incarceration. 168 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: That would actually stop violence on a massive scale, no doubt. 169 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: And again this is not a very complicated two part plan. 170 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: Everybody can steal it from me. It works. Put more 171 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: police on the streets and let them do their job, 172 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: and put violent criminals behind bars. Whether you live in 173 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: a rural area, whether you live in a city, no 174 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: matter what state you live in. Right now, that's what 175 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: you should be demanding of everyone who is charged with 176 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: trying to eliminate or reduce violence in all of your communities. 177 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: More cops on the streets with the ability to do 178 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: their jobs, put violent criminals behind bars. This is, unfortunately, 179 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: like going back in time. Those of us who remember 180 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: the high crime are and Buck in New York City 181 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: right now doing the show you've talked about. You remember 182 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: Time Square before Rudy Giuliani, massive issues with all sorts 183 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: of crime everywhere, and then he came in and he 184 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: cleaned it up. We know what works. We just got 185 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: to implement these policies. We're gonna be joined by Senator 186 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: Rand Paul next. He just had a heck of a 187 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: confrontation with the said senator with Fauci, who was testifying 188 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: of course he's tested positive for COVID despite the fact 189 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: that he's had four COVID shots. I think you're going 190 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: to enjoy this conversation with Rand Paul, Senator from Kentucky. 191 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: It's coming up in just a moment. But days like these, 192 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: when I'm staying in New York City away from home, 193 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: I missed them my pillow products, especially the Geza dream sheets. 194 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: But I do travel with my slippers. In fact, my 195 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: wife is flying into town for our one year anniversary party, 196 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: and guess what she brought her My slippers.

There are no 210 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: studies and Americans should all know this. There are no 211 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: studies on children showing a reduction in hospitalization or death 212 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: with taking a booster. The only studies that were permitted, 213 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: The only studies that were presented were animbody studies. So 214 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: they say, if we give you a booster, you make anibodies. Now, 215 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: a lot of scientists would question whether or not that's 216 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: proof of efficacy of a vaccine. If I give you 217 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: ten or if I give a patient ten mRNA vaccines 218 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: and they make protein each time, or they make anabotti 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: each time, is that proof that we should give ten boosters, 220 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci. No, I think that is somewhat of an 221 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: absurd exaggeration. So that is the proof that you use, 222 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: your committees use that. That's the only proof you have 223 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: to tell children to think of boosters that they make annimbodies. 224 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: So it's not an absardity. That is Senator Ran Paul 225 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: going after our good friend, doctor Fauci. Senator Rand Paul 226 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: joins us. Now doctor Fauci had to testify remotely because 227 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: despite four COVID shots, he has tested positive for COVID. 228 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: Rand Paul, your, first of all, thanks for joining. A second, 229 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: your reaction when you found out that doctor Fauci, who 230 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: last year told everyone if they got the COVID shot 231 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: they would never get COVID. Obviously that ended up being wrong. 232 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: Why should we trust anything this guy says, Well, I 233 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: guess if he would have won the COVID goggles or 234 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: maybe the COVID earmuffs and the COVID earmuffs I think 235 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: really would have protected him, probably, But he had four 236 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: vaccines and four masks. He just didn't get the OVID goggles. 237 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: But no, I'm glad he's not sick. I means it 238 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: can be a serious disease. But I'm glad he's not sick, 239 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: but I wish you were more honest. What we found 240 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: is is that the vaccine was approved and is being 241 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: pushed on your kids, the Booster vaccine, and there's no 242 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: evidence that it saves any lives of kids. It's no 243 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: evidence that keeps him of hospital. The only evidence they 244 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: presented to the committee was that your kid will make antibodies. Well, 245 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: if I give your kid a hundred boosters, he'll make 246 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: antibodies or she'll make antibodies every time. That doesn't prove anything. 247 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: And that's the point I was making the Fauci is 248 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: this is not evidence that the vaccine works. This is 249 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: evidence that if you give a mRNA vaccine that causes 250 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: the body to make a foreign protein that the body 251 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: will react to it make antibodies. It says nothing about 252 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: whether it saves lives, and you should do the studies. 253 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: The reason they don't do the studies is seventy five 254 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: percent of kids have already had this. Many kids have 255 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: been vaccinated now, but no kid is dying. No kid 256 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: is going to the hospital that's either have been vaccinated 257 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: or had the infection or both. And there's no reason 258 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: in the world to give them a booster, and there 259 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: is evidence that the more you vaccinate kids of them 260 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: getting an inflammation of the heart called myocarditis. Senator Paul, 261 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: it's back. I want to know where you think Fauci 262 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: and the Democrat sponsored and assisted health Apparatus wants to 263 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: take the vaccination campaign going into this fall. I mean, 264 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: you're talking today at the Senate Health Committee. They don't 265 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: sound at all to me like they feel chastened at 266 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: all by the failures and the poor analysis of what 267 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: was going to happen up to this point. What do 268 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: you think they're going to do. It's part of an 269 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: overall philosophy of elitism. It is about control. Isn't about 270 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: this pandemic. It's about control of everything. We've always known 271 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: they wanted to control the economic sector, but now we 272 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: know they want to control the personal sector too, the 273 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: decisions that you make with going to the doctor, the 274 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: medicines that you take. And they don't think they need 275 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: proof anymore. There were some good, well meaning people on 276 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: these vaccine boards, not many, but there was a handful. 277 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: They quit when they quit looking at science and they 278 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: just started sort of going back to conjecture and the 279 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: seat of their pants and just mandating everything. Some of 280 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: the good doctors quit. There was a doctor on there 281 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: who said, there's no way we'd give a booster two 282 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: his twenty four year old male son. Because the thing is, 283 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: there is a risk factor. The CDC's owned data says 284 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: that the risk of getting a heart inflammation after the 285 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: second vaccine is about eighty out of a million, So 286 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: that's not bad, but the natural state of miocarditis is 287 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: not getting a vaccines about two out of a million. 288 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: There's a fortyfold increase in miocarditis with a second vaccine. 289 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: And the thing is is, yeah, it's not very common 290 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: eighty out of a million, But if it's your young 291 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: football player or a choir member, a band member in 292 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: high school and they get a vaccine and die from it, 293 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the thing is it should be the parents 294 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: choice and ability to look at the data. And what 295 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: Fauci admitted today is there's no data, absolutely zero data 296 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: saying that if you give your kid a booster vaccine, 297 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: third vaccine, that it keeps them out of the hospital 298 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: or keeps them from dying. Why is there no datam 299 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: Because it's not happening. Nobody and post seventy five percent 300 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: These kids have already had COVID. No kids that's had 301 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: COVID is dying. And that's the information I ask them 302 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: for released to the American public. What is the hospitalization 303 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: rate and the death rate for kids who've already had 304 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: COVID seventy five percent of the kids of ad COVID? 305 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: Does it protect them? If it does, why are you 306 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: pushing three vaccines on kids who have already already got 307 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: natural immunity. What do you think about some places that 308 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: are demanding that people show COVID vaccines four kids right 309 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: in order to go to school. There's lots to talk 310 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: about this. To me, this is absolute insanity. I think 311 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: it's probably going to kick up again as we get 312 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: ready for fall and kids come back to school. What 313 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: would you tell parents out there about requirements like these, 314 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: don't submit to public health tyranny to take your kids 315 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: out of the school. If you can go to a 316 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: private school teaching them at home, go to another public school. 317 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: There are stories I hear every week because I travel 318 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: around the country of the moms and dad's coming up 319 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: to me and say, we've moved our kids to Florida 320 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: to live with grandparents. We've moved our kids to another 321 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: state to get away from public health tyranny, and so 322 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: don't submit to this. And this is why we have 323 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: to keep fighting. Did the lockdown saves lives? Absolutely not. 324 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: We need to keep fighting because there's going to be 325 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: another lockdown. You know, we're still locking down for a 326 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: disease that largely found. You would probably not know he 327 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: had it except for he's probably undergoing routine testing every 328 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: day now because he's seeing Biden. I'll bet you he 329 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: did that test because he goes to the White House. 330 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: He hasn't really revealed whether they had any symptoms or not. 331 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: You know. All we know is he's had four vaccines 332 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: and four masks, you know, but we don't know if 333 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: he had any symptoms. Senator Paul, he should have tripled 334 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: masked and maybe taking the virus a little more.

The January sixth hearings are officially underway 361 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: today Liz Cheney is delivering an opening statement, which is 362 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: nice for Liz Cheney to do because she's not going 363 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: to be a congresswoman much longer. But in the meantime, 364 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: she can continue to fulminate and be disgusted with January 365 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: sixth while not paying attention to virtually everything else that 366 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: is disgusting that is going on right now in the 367 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration as we all continue to bear witness to 368 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: the disaster that is Joe Biden's economic policies. The TAO. 369 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: By the way, sorry for everybody out there with four 370 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: oh one ks, and I know a lot of you 371 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: don't even want to be checking, but the DAO dropped 372 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: below thirty thousand earlier today in trading, it's right around 373 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: thirty thousand, still a little bit underneath, down around seven 374 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: hundred points as the full impact of the ongoing failures 375 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration to cope with inflation continues. And 376 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: they're many things that Joe Biden is getting wrong. And 377 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: by the way, thanks for hanging out with us in 378 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck Show.

It's 386 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: rare where my own personal biography collides with the absurdity 387 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: of what's going on in our modern culture wars. But 388 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: I went to college in Washington, DCA. They gave me 389 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: a scholarship to go to George Washington University, and some 390 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: of you may have heard about this story, but it's 391 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: been percolating for a while. George Washington University is named 392 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: after go figure George Washington, and the moniker that is 393 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: connected to that is George Washington is the Colonials. The 394 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: mascot is George Washington dressed in his colonial army outfit, 395 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: his uniform when he was leading the revolution. They decided 396 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: at gw to remove the colonial mascot slash moniker because 397 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: idiots at the university decided that it was too closely 398 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: connected to the idea of colonialism, even though it's the 399 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: basic exact opposite of that because the colonial army was 400 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: standing up against Great Britain, which had created colonies, and 401 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: we were all fighting for our independence. Even though the 402 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: basic history of this is not in any way similar, 403 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: they decided, if people are upset about it at GW, 404 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: they would remove the colonial moniker. And here's what. And 405 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: I know this has happened to your school two buck Amhurst, 406 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: because we've talked about this before with the or Jeff 407 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: Right in his questionable history alleged bioweapon usage. But they 408 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: didn't really understand microbiology at that point in time, so 409 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that's really fair to say. But he 410 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: used to be a very um festive fellow with a 411 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: long flowing you know, white uh you know, the wig right, 412 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: and and breaches, and you know, he kind of looked 413 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: a little bit well, he looked like the bad guy 414 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: in all the American colonial movies were in the red coat. Yes, 415 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: and they got rid of them, and they replaced them 416 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: with the mammoths. I always say mastodon, but I apparently 417 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: the paleontologists out there probably not actually a paleontology whatever, 418 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. They know it's the mammoths, 419 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: not the mastodons. So we had to change our mascot too. 420 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: And they've had this going on all all over the country. 421 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this has happened in so many places, and 422 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: it's because what's really I I used to say, Hey, 423 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: just wait until people find out some of the practices 424 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: of the Vikings. Oh yeah, a lot of slavery, a 425 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: lot of rape, Luton pillage going on with the Vikings 426 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: as a cultural practice they were, that was what they did, 427 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: the Viking raids. Interesting, you know, the word slave comes 428 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: from slav Actually, it's related to the word slav which 429 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: no one seems to know this, which is Eastern European 430 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: because of the Muslim Ottoman slave trade in Eastern Europeans. 431 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: That's actually where we get that English word slave from. 432 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: People say, oh, what about that slaves? I don't even know. 433 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 1: Subject for another time, but it was massive and lasted 434 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: for centuries and no one in this No. You walk 435 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: around Harvard and say talk to me about the Ottoman 436 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: slave trade and white Christians from Eastern Europe and they'll say, 437 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking. Well, because slavery 438 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: in America only has to do with the time that 439 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: there were slaves in America and it's as if it 440 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: never existed anywhere else. And I'll give you another example. 441 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: Julius Caesar, pretty well known for enslaving people. Right, We've 442 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: got Caesars, which is the huge gambling company with all 443 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: the statues to Caesar inside of inside of the Vegas Hotel, which, 444 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: by the way, is a fantastic Vegas hotel. And I 445 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: thought you'd appreciate this. So a bunch of my friends 446 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: who also graduated from GW, A lot of liberals right 447 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: who go to GW, think this is beyond absurd. And 448 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: I just want to read you what GW released here 449 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: bought because I think you'll like it. And by the way, 450 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: this is the exact opposite of education, which is about 451 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: curing ignorance. In some sense, this is theoretically why universities exist. 452 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: The Special Committee identified a significant difference in connotation for 453 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: the term colonials. For supporters, the term refers to those 454 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: who lived in the American colonies, especially those who fought 455 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: for independence and democracy. For opponents, colonials means colonizers who 456 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: stole land and resources from indigenous groups, killed or exiled 457 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: native people's. These are perspectives that cannot be easily harmonized. 458 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: The committee concluded, you send popularity of the moniker would 459 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: therefore not be continued. And one of my buddies, who 460 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: is I would say pretty left wing at this point, 461 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: just sent to me the text respectfully. These perspectives cannot 462 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: be harmonized because one is literally incorrect. And what we've reached, Buck, 463 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: and this is to me emblematic of the larger issues 464 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: at university campuses, is people are so afraid of telling 465 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: college kids you're wrong, You're an imbecile. We're not going 466 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: to take into count your perspective because it is historically 467 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: in error. Just because you think it doesn't mean that 468 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: there is a factual basis to support it. That used 469 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: to be, Buck, when you and I were in college, 470 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: there were still professors who were willing to stand up 471 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: in front of a classroom and say, okay, you can 472 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: have that opinion, but it is factually not rooted in reality. 473 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: You are wrong, and therefore you should educate yourself, which 474 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: is the purpose of universities. Now they bend over and 475 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: genuflect and bend the knee at all these college kids 476 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: who believe inaccuracies, factual untruths, and actually change things for 477 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: them truth is not a defense against emotions, even emotions 478 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: rooted in ignorance on the modern college campus. And that's 479 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: been true for a while. There used to be they 480 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: were kind of rogue professors because I had a conservative 481 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: professor as my thesis advisor, Hadley Archy's at Amherst College, 482 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: pretty well known in Northeastern conservative academic circles. But he 483 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: was one of the very very really in some ways 484 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: the only one. But there were you could still do 485 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: it these days. I mean I would even what I 486 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: was just saying, if you if you talk about the 487 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: derivation of the word slave, if I started to talk 488 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: to if I walked into Harvard in a history class 489 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: and said, hey, who here knows that the first foreign 490 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: war ever fought by the United States was actually fought 491 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: The first foreign war was fought largely to end slavery, 492 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: And it was actually slavery in that context of the 493 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: North African Barbary States enslaving Christians in Europe and in America. 494 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: We were fighting obviously because of America. That's where we 495 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: get to the shores of Tripoli. That would upset a lot. 496 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: What do you mean, you wouldn't even be able to 497 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: talk about the history of what really happened, because it's 498 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: been so it's so important to left to create this 499 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: perception that the only place that really had slavery was America, 500 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: and the only slavery that existed was the enslavement of 501 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: Africans as part of the trans Atlantic slave trade. So 502 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: even talking about the other historical realities of slavery throughout history. 503 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: You mentioned Julius Caesar, you know there were obviously slaves 504 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: in ancient Egypt. We go back thousands of years. Slavery 505 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: was a condition of humanity. Unfortunately, it's immoral and evil 506 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: at a condition of humanity for as long really as 507 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: there have been organized societies. My favorite Julius Caesar story, though, 508 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 1: since you mentioned Caesar, was when he was captured by 509 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: the pirates and they ransomed him when he was a 510 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: young man, and he got angry at them for not 511 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: demanding a high enough ransom and ordered them around as 512 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: though they were his servants. They could have obviously killed 513 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: him at any point in time, and while he was 514 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: still their captive, he told them this is written about 515 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: the histories. This is all fun, guys, but you know 516 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: that I'm going to come back and crucify all of 517 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: you after you've ransomed me. They ransomed him, got a 518 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: huge payment, and then he hired a private effectively a 519 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: private navy and army went back, went after the pirates, 520 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: crucified all of them. Julius wasn't messing around. You say 521 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: that about him until the IDEs of March. Things are 522 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: going pretty well for him. Julius Caesar. Story that I like, 523 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: and obviously this is from ancient Roman general is they 524 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: would always have somebody when the emperors rode through, and 525 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: everyone was, you know, saluting them and praising them, whispering 526 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: in their ear. Basically, this two shall pass with the 527 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 1: idea that your godlikes status as the leader of this 528 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: country is not going to exist forever. But yes, you're right, 529 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: Buck on the historical front. Was a history major at GW. 530 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: So people say, well, what can you do in response 531 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: to decisions like this, I'll tell you they are always 532 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: asking me for money, Like every university, they are always 533 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: asking me for money. And I emailed yesterday and I said, 534 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: I will never give you a dollar for the rest 535 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: of my life. And so look, I enjoyed going to GW. 536 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: But at some point you have to make a decision. 537 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: And I don't mean just me, I mean everybody out 538 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: there listening to make financial decisions when choices like these 539 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: are made, to let them know that there are consequences 540 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: to those choices, so their chances of ever getting in 541 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: my money gone forever. Whether you're talking about how did 542 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: the left completely dominate universities or how did the left 543 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: come to completely dominate not only Hollywood but also now 544 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: big tech, the social media platforms, the Walt Disney Corporation, 545 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean, look look at the politics of corporate America 546 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: in the era of BLM and recognize is that radical 547 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: left politics became not only fashionable but mandatory in the 548 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: boardrooms of most of America's biggest companies. Really, how do 549 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: we get to that point? For decades, the left has 550 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: used whatever leverage they have and whatever bullying they can 551 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: get away with within these institutions and where their dollars go, 552 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: so they either boycott or support with their dollars places 553 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: that do their political bidding. And it really is just 554 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: in the last you know, five to ten years, I'd 555 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 1: say that conservatives are woken up and saying no, actually, 556 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, Disney Disney fires Gina Krano, who's a great 557 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: actress and a conservative cancel your Disney Plus subscription. Yeah. 558 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, if you don't take these basic steps, you're 559 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: actually not going to ever affect any change. And you're 560 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: not even going to be meeting on the economic and 561 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: political battlefield the left where they're actually winning day in 562 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: and day out. You're not going to change that. You're 563 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: not going to change the game at all. Yeah, and 564 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: here's what else I would say, buck all these people 565 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: on the board of trustees at George Washington who are 566 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: symptomatic of the issues that we're dealing with in this country. 567 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: You didn't solve anything, because removing colonials is just going 568 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: to enable and encourage the wing that is canceling American 569 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: culture to eventually decide you have to take George Washington's 570 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: name off the university because the same argument you can 571 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: make about colonials can be made about George Washington himself. 572 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: See that this is fascinating because this is where you 573 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: start to see these and the left really likes there 574 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: was a why or all the top universities still left wing? 575 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Must because we're brilliant. No, because you're Bolsheviks and you know, 576 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: eliminate all other ideologies from your sphere. You know, It's 577 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: like it's like if you put the wrong kind of 578 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: fish in the aquarium, it eats all the other fish. 579 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that all the other fish shouldn't be there. 580 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: It means they got eaten by the fish. The realities 581 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: that they're going to face, though, are Whether you look 582 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: at some of these schools, Yale is obviously the one 583 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: that comes to mind because it is named for a 584 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: slave trader. Yes, folks, a slave trader. A slave owner 585 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: is bad. Slave trader also really bad. But Yale is 586 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: a multi billy It's really a multi billion dollar hedge 587 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,239 Speaker 1: fund where they also teach classes. And so if they 588 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: change the name, I mean, do you think Princeton University 589 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: wants to go back to being called the College of 590 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: New Jersey. No, I mean, they've branded themselves. But this 591 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: is where it leads. And this is where Trump was right. 592 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: Remember when he came out and everybody misquotes him about 593 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: his response to Charlottesville, but he was right. He said, 594 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: starts with Confederate soldiers. And this is why I've always 595 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: objected to pulling down monuments and memorials to anything historically 596 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: in America. You contextualize it better, But it is going 597 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: to be the case that now that colonials are gone, 598 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: the new target is going to be George Washington himself 599 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: at the university. No one ever says on the progressive movement, Okay, 600 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: we're good. Now, you know what, you change this for us, 601 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: We're great. This is solved forever. This is my issue 602 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: with mascots in general. There's never enough you even see 603 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: this with in the medical community. Now they're the World 604 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: Health Organization. We didn't talk about this yesterday. I actually 605 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: we'll come back. Yes, they're changing the name of yet 606 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: another virus, folks because and this is their there's because racism, 607 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,479 Speaker 1: they're saying. That's what they're saying. Go figure fed May 608 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,959 Speaker 1: big news yesterday increasing interest rates by three quarters of 609 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: a point in a single day.

Parents getting more and 636 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: more fired up about what their kids are being taught 637 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: in schools. The agenda of the left, increasingly radical, but 638 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: also increasingly exposed by a lot of good work coming 639 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: from people on the right. And one of them is 640 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: our friend who joins us right now, Pete Hegseth, veteran 641 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: of the United States Army co host of Fox and 642 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: Friends Weekends. His new book is Battle for the American Mind, 643 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: uprooting a century of miseducation. Pete. Great to have you back. Man, Hey, guys, 644 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: thanks for having me tell us about this one. Because 645 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: we think that there are a few issues that get 646 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: a lot of attention going into the you know, and 647 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: they should right, Crime, border, economy, those are probably the 648 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: big three for us. But right up there and maybe 649 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: right alongside one or two of those would be education. 650 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: What's going on in the classrooms, what's going on to 651 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: the universities and the apparatus of the left, what it's 652 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: doing to kids. Tell about the book especially now. Yeah, 653 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we call that realization that's occurred in the 654 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years, the COVID sixteen nineteen moment. The 655 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: parents had their kids at home and laptops and they 656 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: saw the curriculum and it wasn't what they thought it was. 657 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: And it's because largely in conservative Republican circles. We've been 658 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel fighting other fights, and while the 659 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: progressives have executed what I would call a full consolidation 660 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: of government schools public schools. I salute the parents protesting 661 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: at school board meetings. I think it's immensely important. I 662 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: think parents need to get involved. But we described it 663 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: in the book as it's like charging a fortified machine 664 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: gun nest with nerf guts. We salute your efforts, but 665 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: we're all going to die if we think that's going 666 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: to change the trajectory of what's happening. The pipeline for 667 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: over one hundred years has been what they've focused I'm 668 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: burrowed in on, and they've been wildly successful. You know, 669 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: Hemingway once wrote about bankruptcy. It happened gradually and then suddenly. 670 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: And that's what the book uncovers, is it happened gradually 671 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: over one hundred years, very concernedly. They wrote about it intentionally, 672 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: and now we're seeing the quick aspect of it as 673 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: they press their advantage, going from bias to indoctrination now 674 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: to full on activism for our youngest of kids, who 675 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: are always the target and the reason we wrote the 676 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: book is the first step to recovery is understanding the 677 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: depth of your problem. And for the parents and grandparents 678 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: out there, we just want them to come to grips 679 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: with the fact that you know, you know the old adage, 680 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,919 Speaker 1: I love my congressman, but I can't stand Congress. It's 681 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: that same thing, you know. I know public education is 682 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: messed up, but my school's okay, No, it's not not yours, 683 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: not mine, not the one I went to. I was 684 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: a public school kid. They're pressing the advantage. I want 685 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: parents to know about it, and the book shares what 686 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: you can do about it. Pete, appreciate you coming on. 687 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: I was also a public school kid. What do you 688 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: think the impact will be based on moves, for instance, 689 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: that they're making in Florida with Ron de Sciantist, the 690 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: battles that are being fought there. If, as we anticipate, 691 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: we get a red wave or red tsunami potentially in November, 692 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: does that help to change the trajectory here? It helps 693 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: on the political levels, but it only helps on the margins. 694 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: Winning elections is not going to change the nature of 695 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: the classroom. When you understand what John doing. The progressives 696 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: did how they first remove God, replaced it with a 697 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: forgery in allegiance to the state, and then consolidated it 698 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: through and then the Marxist show up to the critical 699 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: theorists at the Frankfurt School of Columbia University, pushed it 700 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: through the teachers colleges. Then the unions consolidated their power. 701 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: All of these institutions, by the way, led by socialists 702 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,399 Speaker 1: and atheists, eventually Marxists. Then the Supreme Court kicks God out. 703 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: The Department of Education is created by the teachers unions 704 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: quite literally, and then you get the federal consolidation through 705 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: common Core and what we see today. Winning a school 706 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: board election or even a gubertatorial election will help in 707 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: preventing the current manifestation of one or two theories, but 708 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 1: they will always try to find a way to slip 709 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: it out. Take for example, this book Battle for the 710 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: American Mind. It's been number one in the country for 711 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: three years. For three days, a book called how to 712 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: Raise an Anti Racist by Ibram x Kendi came out 713 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: the same day as my book. No one's going to 714 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: read it, However, every teacher's union, every teacher's college, every 715 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: publication is going to press it. Down the pipeline as 716 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: the curriculum or the pedagogy how teachers teach in the diversity, 717 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: equity and inclusion lens in local public schools, middle schools, 718 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: and elementary school That book will have more institutional impact 719 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: than this expose, because that's how they think. So I 720 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: love win an election, but we can't count on elections. 721 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 1: We've we've got to do it ourselves. Speaking of Pete Hegseth, 722 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: now he's Fox and Friends Weekend co host and he's 723 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: got this book out. You should check out Battle for 724 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: the American Mind, uprooting a century of miseducation. Fete, do 725 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: you think that the left, maybe at some level some 726 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: of them, not all of them, right, the true believers, 727 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: Reality doesn't exist for them, So what difference does anything 728 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: that we see make to them? But do you think 729 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: that the current battle that we've seen playing out in 730 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: Florida over the transagenda as it pertains to very young children, 731 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: added also to the left's insistence on what feels like 732 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: a phenomenon that came on, you know, out of nowhere 733 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 1: and now is everywhere. The drag Queen Story Hour and 734 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: drag your kids to pride stuff that we've seen in schools, 735 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: in libraries and all over the place. Has the left 736 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: gone too far? And do you think that they recognize 737 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: that this is an error for them? Politically? Old school 738 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: liberal Democrats know they've gone too far, and they have 739 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: electoral power right now saying Congress, and they want to 740 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: send up the warning players about how detrimental this will 741 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: be to them politically, but culturally, this is a reflection 742 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: of the confidence they have that not only won't they 743 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: be held accountable, but they can't be held accountable because 744 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: they're so insulated inside their education departments, inside their teachers colleges, 745 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: by their teachers unions, by the folks that write the tests, 746 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 1: the folks that make the standards, the accreditation agencies, every 747 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: single one of those is controlled by not Democrats but 748 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: the hard activists left, So they don't believe they will 749 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: be held accountable for this. You see school districts defending 750 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: what's happening or explaining in a way by saying we 751 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: do diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is a phrase invented 752 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: by critical theorists, later critical race theorists and critical gender 753 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: theorists to mask over their Marxist secular agenda. So yes, 754 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 1: they've overreached culturally at this current moment, but they're counting 755 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: on a pipeline of kids being pumped out. And you 756 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: might say, oh, this has been happening for decades. Yes 757 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: it has, but we're an unchartered territory when we're telling 758 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: seven and eight year olds to question their gender and 759 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: not teaching any history other than America is at you see. 760 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: The progressives knew that it was the youngest kids that 761 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: were the most appliable, and that's why they focused school 762 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: and the youngest to begin with. It didn't really happen 763 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: to get to the youngest until right about now, but 764 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: that's because they believe they have the power to do 765 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: it and no one will hold them accountable. There are 766 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: politicians doing some of that, and that's good, but it 767 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: doesn't change the prerogatives and incentives of the institutions that 768 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: feed the classrooms full of teachers and counselors and advisors 769 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: who get paid to push this stuff. You've got kids, 770 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: I've got kids. I was having a conversation recently with 771 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: my wife about the idea of a five or six 772 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 1: year old kid being able to pick their gender. And 773 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've had conversations like this too. We won't 774 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: even let our five or six year olds pick what 775 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: they get to eat for a meal, because they would 776 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: have ice cream or cake for every single meal if 777 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: they could. Yes, how wildly outlandish has it become that 778 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: you're supposed to let a five or six year old 779 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: pick their gender? I mean, I just it's inconceivable to 780 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: me that we could have ever ended up in a 781 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: place where any adult would make that argument. I know, 782 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: it's a it is a gradual erosion that then, because 783 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: you've so eroded the idea of an objective truth, of 784 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: of standards higher than our own human instincts or human identity, 785 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: that now it's gotten to the point where, I mean, 786 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: I've got a six year old who legitimately believes he's 787 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: got a shot of being Batman. Yeah, he grows up. No, 788 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's this is this is the identity and 789 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: understanding that they have the maturity level. But that's the point, 790 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: is the left belief. You know, if they if they're 791 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: only getting to him in college, you know they're going 792 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,879 Speaker 1: to convert plenty of them, you know, but there's also 793 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 1: gonna be plenty of god fearing conservative kids that show 794 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,760 Speaker 1: up a college and reject the wope nonsense. If your teacher, 795 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: who is an authority figure, even I remember when I 796 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: was fifteen sixteen, if the teacher said it, it seemed 797 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: like gospel to me. Those are more innocent days in 798 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: that sense. If a six year old or seven year 799 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: old hears it, it's absolute gospel. And the parents are 800 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: You're told your parents are out of step, they're old, 801 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: they're roobs. So I think it is a lot of 802 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: teachers don't want to do this. This is the activist 803 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: class driving it. But it's always the loudest voices, the 804 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: most radical voices, that drag institutions in a particular direction. 805 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: And that's what you see in the pipeline. And that's 806 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: how it ends up, maybe not in the curriculum, but 807 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,399 Speaker 1: certainly in the pedagogy, which is the philosophy of how 808 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: you teach through diversity, equity, and inclusion, which means if 809 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: one student feels uncomfortable, you teach to that level to 810 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 1: all the students. And that's how it becomes ubiquitous, not 811 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: just in Massachusetts and California, but in Missouri. You know, 812 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,359 Speaker 1: we have the Attorney General on Fox and Friends this 813 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 1: morning pointing out what it's happening. It's happening everywhere. Speaking 814 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: to our friend Pete Hegseth, the book is Battle for 815 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: the American Mind, uprooting a century of miseducation. Pete, congrats 816 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: on the sales so far, a lot more coming your way, 817 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 1: and appreciate you joining us. Appreciate you guys. Thank you. 818 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: That's Pete Hegseth. We are Clay and Buck and we 819 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: want to tell you. Look, summer everybody gets active. You're 820 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: out more than you otherwise might be perfect weather. Paul 821 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: and Minnesota loves to play in a softball league. Well, 822 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 1: I bring him up because he wrote about changing his 823 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: habits based on being able to try relief Factor. He's 824 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: been limping trying to run the bases with really intense 825 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: knee pain.
