1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Team Buck, Welcome to the Freedom Hut. Much to get 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: to today. First off, stop panicking over the Delta variant. 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: No more lockdowns, no more mask mandates. This is a 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: fight we have to win. Plus, our southern border is 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: open to the whole world. And Dick Durban tells us 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: what the strategy is for the Democrats. An Ivy League lawyer, 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: firebomb to police car, and yet there are a lot 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: of folks who are rushing to defend the suspect and 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: a transmodel on the cover of Sports Illustrated. What are 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: we supposed to take from that? We'll get into all 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: of it just a moment, but first I've got to 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: tell you that the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is incredible. 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: They help us keep our commitment to never forget. And 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: this year the foundation is honoring GoldStar and fallen first 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: responder families with young children and catastrophically injured veterans and 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: first responders with two hundred mortgage free homes. Chairman and 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: CEO Frank Siller is paying tribute to the fallen by 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: walking from the Pentagon to Shanksville and on to Ground zero, 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: more than five hundred miles through six states in forty 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: two days the month of August through nine to eleven, 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: towers of light are to shine at the Pentagon and 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: Shanks fill memorials in remembrance. The names of those we 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: lost to nine eleven related illnesses are being read aloud 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: at a ceremony on September twelve, and on Veteran's Day, 25 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: the names of those we lost in the War on 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: Terror will also be read aloud. Do good and help 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: America to never forget. Donate eleven dollars a month to 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: tunnel to towers at t twot dot org. That's t 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: twot dot org t the number two t dot org. 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: The COVID panic is never going to stop unless we 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: make it stop. You know I've been saying that for 32 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: a long time. You also know that I've told you 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: there's a possibility of more mask mandates in the future, 34 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: even after we get to a widespread level of vaccination, 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: which we are we've already reached in this country. It's 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: already something that we are experiencing. And because of the 37 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: delta variant, you're being told, oh no, there's different rules 38 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: we have to apply now. We have to go back 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: to the things we did in the past. No, no, no, 40 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: lockdowns were utterly catastrophic, okay, idiotic. They did not work, 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: and no one should have thought they would work. But 42 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: this is a case study. In not just years or decades, 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: I would say, in centuries to come, people will look 44 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: back at what our public health establishment did in this 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: country and around the world and say, how could they 46 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: have abandoned so many core principles of science, of free 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: intellectual inquiry, a freedom of speech. How could they have 48 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: been completely overtaken with groupthink and the herd mentality and 49 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: really acted like anybody who would question this, even from 50 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: within their own ranks, was some kind of a heretic. 51 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: There is an excellent piece in City Journal written by 52 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: John Tierney. I want to share some of this piece 53 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: with you because I think it makes the point incredibly well. 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: Here's what he writes, and the title of the piece 55 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: is the panic Pandemic, which I believe was even a 56 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: title that we used. Producer Mark, I didn't ask you 57 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: this before, and we could check. I'm sure we had 58 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: a podcast where I said, stop the panic pandemic, because 59 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: that's what we've been going through. It's an obvious description 60 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: of the reality that we have been seeing, and so 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you this piece because I 62 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: think he really gets it. I think he really nails it. 63 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: The United States quote suffered through two lethal waves of 64 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: contagion in the past year and a half. The first 65 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: was a viral pandemic that killed about one in five 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: hundred Americans, typically a person over seventy five suffering from 67 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: other serious health conditions. The second, and far more catastrophic, 68 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: was a moral panic that swept the nation's guiding institutions. 69 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Instead of keeping calm and carrying on, the American elite 70 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: flouted the norms of governance, journalism, academic freedom, and, worst 71 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: of all, science. They misled the public about the origins 72 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: of the virus and the true risk that it posed, 73 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: Ignoring their own carefully prepared plans for a pandemic, they 74 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: claimed unprecedented powers to impose untested strategies with terrible collateral damage. 75 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: As evidence of their mistakes mounted, they stifled debate by 76 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: vilifying dissenters, censoring criticism, and suppressing scientific research. If, as 77 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: seems increasingly plausible, the coronavirus that causes COVID nineteen leaked 78 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: out of a laboratory in Wuhan is the costliest blunder 79 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: ever committed by scien scientists. Whatever the pandemic's origin, the 80 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: response to it is the worst mistake in the history 81 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: of the public health profession. We still have no convincing 82 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: evidence that the lockdown save lives lives, but lots of 83 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: evidence that they already cost lives and will prove deadlier 84 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: in the long run than the virus itself. And quote, 85 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: this is stunning, isn't it. You hear these words or 86 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: you read them, if you see this piece in City 87 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Journal and you say, what the hell were these idiots 88 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: in charge doing lockdown? And remember, there's so many ways, 89 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: and I could just go off on endless criticisms about this. 90 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: There are so many ways though, in which this was 91 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: doomed to fail from the start as a policy. For one, 92 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: we never really locked down. That did not happen. There 93 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: were always frontline workers, There were always people who were 94 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: required to continue to go about their jobs, and there 95 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: were human beings who had to be in contact with 96 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: other human beings. The virus continued to spread, but instead 97 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: of focusing on protecting those who are truly at mortal peril, 98 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: the elderly, those with pre existing conditions, most notably obesity. 99 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: Instead of that, we pretended like twenty two year olds 100 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: should be working on Zoom only from their couch in 101 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: Park Slope, Brooklyn, or in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, or wherever. 102 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: That's what this thing turned into. So they had people 103 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: who were working class delivering their food and keeping the 104 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: lights on for them while they got to do a 105 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: lot of virtue signaling about how seriously they take the virus. 106 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: But this became a religion for people that neither have 107 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: a relationship with God nor have come to grips with 108 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the fact psychologically that we are all going to die. 109 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't mean from COVID. I just mean, as a 110 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: certainty all of us will die. I will die, and 111 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: I know that. And sure it's a human condition that 112 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: you will at some points. Be you don't want to die, 113 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: and you try to live the longest, happiest, healthiest life 114 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: you can. You take those actions you can to extend 115 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: your life whenever possible. But you know, you wake up 116 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: every day with that knowledge and an understanding that there's 117 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: only so much you can control, and you do the 118 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: best you can, and we all have limited time. That 119 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: psychological predisposition would have resulted in people thinking we're going 120 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: to do what we can. You know, you want to 121 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: stay away from sick people and you want to stay 122 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: as healthy as you can, but you can't control this virus. Instead, 123 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: we were completely misled into thinking that if only we 124 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: obeyed Saint Fauci, everything would be fine, if only that 125 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: sub mediocrity in his little lab coat and his little glasses. 126 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: You know, I just go on TV every three seconds 127 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: to tell the Libs whatever they want to hear about 128 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: the virus. Here he is play club four. Well, Canada 129 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: is doing better, not because we are trying any less 130 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: than they are trying. It's because in Canada you don't 131 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: have that divisiveness of people not wanting to get vaccinated 132 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: in many respects on the basis of ideology and political persuasion. 133 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: And that's something that we have been saying for some 134 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: time now. I mean, political differences are totally understandable and 135 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: a natural part of the process in any country. But 136 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to a public health issue in which 137 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: you're in the middle of a deadly pandemic and the 138 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: common enemy is the virus, it just doesn't make any 139 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: sense to essentially disregard or don't pay attention to what's obvious, 140 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: namely that if you look at the numbers, they tell 141 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: you something very important. Ninety nine point five percent of 142 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: all the deaths due to COVID nineteen in this country 143 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: are among vaccinated people. So let's just take him at 144 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: his word here for a second. That was Fauci just 145 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours. Let's just go first 146 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: of all, he's he's a scientist who compares the US 147 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: to Canada, and immediately it's you know the politics Fox 148 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: News whenever they say divisive politics, whenever these lab coat 149 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: tyrants get on TV. You know, the blue check MD 150 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: brigades who were wrong about everything. They love the BLM protests, 151 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: even when they were telling everybody else no protests allowed. 152 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: But BLM protests were about health. I see somebody, especially 153 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: a you know, an upper middle class white liberal who's 154 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: showy about how much they're into BLM. I not only 155 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: see a fraud, I see a moron. I'm just gonna 156 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: say this, it's like people that unnecessarily share their pronouns. 157 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: No one cares. Stop being an idiot, and it doesn't 158 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: make you a good person. It makes you a sheep. 159 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: You do whatever the herd is doing, and try to 160 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: fit in so desperately, it's it's pathetic. I just want 161 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: to know that Fauci missed missed a science compares the 162 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: US to Canada. Gee, you know, you know what really 163 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: matters a lot when you're talking about the spread of 164 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: a virus, things like population density. Canada per square per 165 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: square mile has eleven people. The United States per square 166 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: mile has ninety four people, so almost ten x the 167 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: population density per square mile in the United States. Do 168 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: you think should that matter to anybody? Is that is 169 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: that relevant? I think it matters. I think people should 170 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: care about this. I think they should think that it's 171 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: something that we all should pay attention to at some level. 172 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: But then again, I'm basing this on the science. I'm 173 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: basing this on what actually we know from the numbers. Right, Okay, 174 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: it's more like nine times who cares, doesn't matter, it's 175 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: a lot more population density. And here we are playing 176 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: this out with the Fauci I. It's still running around 177 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: saying the delta varied. You gotta get everyone. If the 178 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: vaccines work so well, which they work less well against 179 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: delta than they had hoped, or then they had told us. 180 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: But if the vaccines work so well, then guess what 181 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: we should be back to fully normal today? Because if 182 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: someone is choosing not to get a vaccine, they are 183 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: making a choice and that is something that they get 184 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: to live with. Right. I have not gotten the vaccine 185 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: because I had COVID, so and my family members who 186 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: are at high risk have all gotten the vaccine. So 187 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: it is completely reasonable to say I'm not going to 188 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: do it. But if I were to get super sick 189 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: with COVID in six months and you know, God forbid, 190 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: end up in the hospital, would people be able to say, well, 191 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't get the vACC Yeah, of course, 192 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: but how many years have we gone through now in 193 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: America where you could choose to get a flu vaccine, 194 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: yes or no, one way or the other, And a 195 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: lot of people died from the flu, and a lot 196 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: of those people didn't get the vaccine. If you believe 197 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: in it, if you want it, you can get it 198 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: and have had plenty of opportunity to get it. The 199 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: argument for imposing this on people, the argument for mandates 200 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it simply does not add up. 201 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: Doesn't add up. Because you should be you're protected, it's 202 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: good enough. And giving this to twelve year olds or 203 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: two year olds as they want to start doing is reckless, 204 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: and it's rooted in this as a religious belief for 205 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: liberals who are not really liberals, statist leftist authoritarians, progressives, 206 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: it's a religion for them, a religion replacement. And there's 207 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot of moral and intellectual cowardice on the left 208 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: about this point. It's really defined by intellectual and moral 209 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: cowardice when it comes to COVID. They would not speak 210 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: the truth. And that's why when you read this piece, 211 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: for example, in City Journal where they address what happened here, 212 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: it's stunning to see how this was politicized so early on. 213 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: It was used as a weapon against Trump. And what 214 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: they've really ended up doing in all of this is 215 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: destroy public faith in the health establishments, willingness to stay 216 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: out of politics and just do what's best for the patient, 217 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: just do what's best to keep people healthy and alive. 218 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Do you think any of the lockdowners feel bad about 219 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: the fact that, as the City Journal piece states, quote, 220 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: one in three people worldwide lost a job or a 221 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: business during the lockdowns, half saw their earnings drop. Children 222 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: never at risk from the virus in many places essentially 223 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: lost a year of school. The economic and health consequences 224 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: were felt most acutely among the less affluent in America 225 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: and in the rest of the world, where the World 226 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: Bank estimates that more than one hundred million people had 227 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: been pushed into extreme poverty. One hundred million people pushed 228 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: into extreme poverty. Extreme poverty means going to bed hungry 229 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: at night. Malnutrition. Extreme poverty means not having access to 230 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: properly sanitize water. You know, you get dysentery. You can 231 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: die from that too. By the way, extreme poverty is grinding, misery, pain, 232 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: and despair. One hundred million people pushed into that, according 233 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: to the World Bank, because of lockdowns. Do they count? 234 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: Does that matter to anybody? No, it's so much more 235 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: essential for people who have two homes and could flee 236 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: to one of them. During the pandemics, they had plenty 237 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: of outdoor space to go to to watch MSNBC and 238 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: listen to Mattow and the other geniuses over there and 239 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: mask up double mask What happened to double masking? You'll 240 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: notice it's fallen out of fashion, like a preferred hat 241 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: or the width of men's ties, because that's all that 242 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: ever was a fashion. It was moronic from the beginning. 243 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Will they admit that, No, they will not. They will 244 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: not admit it because that would be to accept that 245 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: they can be wrong. And if they were wrong about that, 246 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: what else were they wrong about. One thing that I'm 247 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: definitely right about is how amazing my pillows are.

The full scale panic was 289 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: set off by the release in March of twenty twenty 290 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: of a computer model at the Imperial College in London, 291 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: which projected that under unless drastic measures were taken, intensive 292 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: care units would have thirty COVID patients for every available bed, 293 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 1: and America would see two point two million deaths by 294 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: the end of the summer. British researchers announced the only 295 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: viable strategy was to impose draconian restrictions on businesses, schools 296 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: and social gatherings until a vaccine arrived. It was lockdown 297 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: until vaccine. They didn't really tell us that at the beginning, 298 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: did they no, Because people would have said, hold on 299 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: a second, this is now the new standard. This is 300 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: how we deal with this stuff. Lockdown until vaccine really, 301 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: isn't that? Isn't that a little bit extreme? Sounded? Can't? 302 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: Can't everyone tell right away? Hold on a second, That 303 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. We're gonna lock down that long? 304 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: But they lied, They lied to you. They told you 305 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: it was two weeks to slow the spread. They didn't 306 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: say it was stay locked down until a vaccine comes out. 307 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: And now you can see they're trying to edge into 308 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: we all have rolling lockdowns until the virus is entirely gone. 309 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: It's endemic now, folks, It's going to be within the population. 310 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: There will be COVID outbreaks for the foreseeable future. That 311 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: is just reality. It's just reality. And they're not going 312 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: to be as big, they're not going to be as lethal, 313 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: But it is now very much like the fluid is 314 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: going to be in circulation around the world, and there 315 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: will be a seasonality to it, and there will be 316 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: booster shots, and there will be future variants and all 317 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: the rest of it. So that means, no, we don't 318 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: go back to the things that didn't work to stop 319 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: it in the first place. I might add, it means 320 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: we go back to normal life and people making informed 321 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: decisions for themselves about their health. That's it. I mean, 322 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: the so called Fauciite consensus. I'm the one who calls 323 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: it that. But the consensus of the Fauciites was wrong, 324 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: and they use social media to shut down those who 325 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: disagreed with them. They use whatever tools at their disposal 326 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: to crush descent. They went after researchers like Unitis at 327 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: the Stanford University Medical School. They went after people with 328 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: impeccable credentials who said, what the heck is going on here? 329 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: You guys are wrong. This is a bad idea. The 330 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: numbers don't support it. Shut up, They said, you're helping Trump. 331 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. Problem with the left is 332 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: that it's emotion over reason. They're so emotionally invested in 333 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: their hatred of Donald Trump and their desire to feel 334 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: superior because of their politics their fellow human beings that 335 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: you can't really reason with them. You can't have a 336 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: discussion about things like maybe this is more important than 337 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: whether you like Trump or not. Maybe getting this right 338 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: and not crushing freedom, shredding the Constitution and resulting. But 339 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: there's so much unintended consequence of things like lockdowns and masks, 340 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: might I might add I think a lot of people 341 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: thought that masks were much more effective than they were, 342 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: so they were not doing the things that would have 343 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: really helped, like be very cautious about being around a 344 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: sick person. Oh well, I got my mask. My mask 345 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: will keep me safe, you know, just like the doctors wear. 346 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: They never stop the thing. Hold on a second. Doctors 347 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: actually wear and ninety five masks. They don't wear a 348 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: balaclava or a you know, a handkerchief with Biden Harris 349 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty on it. And they have a clean, fresh 350 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: mask every time they go into the o R and 351 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: they keep it on the whole time. They don't and 352 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: they're and you're talking about somebody who's in an environment 353 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: where their body is likely being opened up to pathogens already, 354 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: so you know, you're an extreme circumstance medical circumstances circumstance. 355 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: But people say, oh yeah, you know doctors in the ore, 356 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: same thing is mask on, mask off on the plane, 357 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: mask on, mask off in the restaurant. This is stupid. 358 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: Everybody should know it is stupid. But there are people 359 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: who really want to believe they're smart, and they vote 360 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: Democrat and they're left is they think they're so smart, 361 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: and so it didn't matter how absurd this got, because 362 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: ultimately it was a giant exercise in showing everybody how evolved, 363 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: elevated and elite they were in their thinking and in 364 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: their lifestyle choices around COVID. It's pathetic, it's awful. Anyway. 365 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: I can't recommend this piece more highly by John Tierney 366 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: in City Journal, The Panic Pandemic. It's it's essential. You 367 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: should definitely check it out, and good work from John Tierney. 368 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: So there's no argument for changing election and voting laws 369 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: based on fraud. There certainly is no argument when it 370 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: comes to the outcome of the election that was clear 371 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: and it has been to everyone except one former president 372 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: for a long time. And yet the Republicans win in 373 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: control of state legislatures, are by design trying to make 374 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: it more difficult for some people to vote. Why. The 375 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: answer is very simple. The demographics of America are not 376 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: on the side of the Republican Party. The new voters 377 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 1: in this country are moving away from them, away from 378 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, away from their party creed that they preach, 379 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: and instead they're moving to be independence or at even 380 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: vote on the other side to argue and fight against 381 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: that the Republicans and legislative settings are reducing and restricting 382 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to vote. That's what it's all about. Oh 383 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: wait a second, here's a good old dick Durban saying 384 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: some stuff about some things here. When it comes to 385 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: people and the border and the Democrats strategy, the demographics 386 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: of America are not on the side of the Republican party. 387 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: The new voters in this country are moving away from 388 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: the new voters. Gee, that's so interesting. So immigration is 389 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: a tool that Democrats plan to and have been using. 390 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: It's a tool to outvote Republicans. And what you do 391 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: is kick the doors to America as wide open as possible. 392 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: Take those who are least likely to be able to 393 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: contribute on a net basis, Take those who are most 394 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: likely to need state benefits, and who are going to 395 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: arrive and immediately be told, Oh, if you're non white, 396 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: this country owes you some thing. You are owed by 397 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: the country you have just arrived in. You don't owe 398 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: the country. No, no, quite the opposite. Oh no, you've 399 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: probably suffered from white supremacy wherever you came from all 400 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: over the world. You came from Sri Lanka. You came 401 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: from Vietnam, from Haiti, from Venezuela. White supremacy is the 402 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: challenge that you have faced, whether you know it or not. 403 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: That's what the left says, that's part of the narrative. 404 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: So bring in as many people from the rest of 405 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: Whether they speak English or not doesn't matter. Whether they 406 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: know anything about America doesn't matter. They know that there's 407 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: good welfare benefits here. They know that the Democrat Party 408 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: wants them here to outvote those who believe in limited government, 409 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: who believe in constitutionalism. So this is the plan. And 410 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: that's why the open southern border is so interesting, isn't it. 411 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: And there's a Fox supporter who was down there with 412 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: hundreds of people trying to just push through in Del Rio, 413 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: literally pushed through border patrol at a fenced area, and 414 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: it's on video, you can see it. And so we 415 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: sit here and say, how can anyone tell us that 416 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: the border is not effectively an open border. Get you 417 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: get brought into the United States, you get caught, Okay, 418 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you get turned around and deported. Please try again. 419 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: You'll get in. Anybody who wants to get here now 420 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: illegally can do so. It is not hard. And if 421 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: you're a family unit, you're definitely getting in. If you're 422 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: a child, you're obviously getting in. So when Democrats get 423 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: all huffy indignant about what's really happening here at the 424 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: southern border, just remember that the plan is exactly as 425 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: we've been saying, which is to bring in more people 426 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: who are more likely to vote Democrat, and that means 427 00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: importing as many as many individuals illegally and legally from 428 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: the developing world as they possibly can. You know, not 429 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: all individuals are going to be able to come to America, 430 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: not everybody who wants to be in a country that 431 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: is wealthy and has relative rule of law, and at 432 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: least until Democrats are done with it, decent levels of freedom, 433 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: they can all come. So who doesn't get to show 434 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: up here? Who doesn't get to be an American? That's 435 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: the question that Democrats never answer. They are using these, 436 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: as Dick Durban said, these demographic changes that they are 437 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: up breaking the law to bring about in the first place. 438 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: They are using this in order to outvote Republicans and 439 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: create a permanent majority for the Democrat Party. They say 440 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: it out loud, so as much as I'm sure they 441 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: want to argue with me on this and pretend that 442 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: what I'm saying isn't true. They say it out loud anyway. 443 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: Now there's also speaking of what's going on all over 444 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: the world. Wait, did I have Oh, the Ivy League lawyers. 445 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: I was going to talk about China. But you know, 446 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: we'll talk about China tomorrow. Ivy League lawyers headed to 447 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: trial here. This was pretty remarkable. A two New York 448 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: City IV League lawyers are standing trial for the for 449 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: allegedly fire bombing a police cruiser. This will start in 450 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: March of twenty twenty two a police cruiser and distributing 451 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: Molotov cocktails during the George Floyd Riots last summer. Defense lawyers, 452 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: this is from the Washington Free Beacon for Colinford, Maddison, 453 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: Rouge Rahman have been in plea negotiations but have not 454 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: come to terms. They will not take a plea bargain. 455 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: Oh well, that's so. The pre trial motions are scheduled 456 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: for September seventeenth. Dury selection begin March fourteenth, twenty twenty two. 457 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: That's a pretty bold move to to not actually take 458 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: a plea in a situation like this. I mean, they 459 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: are clearly based on everything we know, they are clearly guilty. 460 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: There is surveillance footage of this. They are literally on 461 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: camera firebombing a police vehicle and police officers were there 462 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: and witnessed it. You have eyewitnesses and video evidence of it. 463 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: So explain to me why they would try to roll 464 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: the dice on seven felony charges including civil disorder, arson, conspiracy, 465 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: and federal explosives charges. Okay, and remember lawyers are automatically 466 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: disbarred for felony convictions in New York State. I'm just wondering, 467 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: why would they roll the dice on that. If they 468 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: get convicted. You convicted on seven federal felony charges, a 469 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: judge can make you serve some real time. You know, 470 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: you could go away for years. So what's the Oh, well, 471 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: we know why, we know why they think they can. 472 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: They can do this because quote the accused enjoy widespread 473 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: sympathy and support from New York's legal and media elites. 474 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: Rahman is represented by one of the city's best defense 475 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: attorneys and a former Obama administration official guaranteed her bail 476 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: in the amount of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 477 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,239 Speaker 1: Both have been the subject of favorable profiles and New 478 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: York magazine NPR, among other venues. I think they believe 479 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,719 Speaker 1: they can get a not guilty verdict based on Black 480 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: Lives Matter b Black lives But I think that's really 481 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: the plan here to just look at the sympathy that 482 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: the left has in New York City for the BLM movement, 483 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: so they will nullify charges of arson, civil disorder, and 484 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: destructive riot. And let me just note, you know, firebombing 485 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: of police cars, the kind of thing that I used 486 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: to believe all Americans could agree on, was really bad. 487 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: It's it's not just about the destruction, although that's obviously 488 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: a part of it. It's dangerous. It's dangerous, as we 489 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: all know. And yet they won't take a plea because 490 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: they think there's enough sympathy for them. They think there's 491 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: enough sympathy for them that maybe the jury just says, 492 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: you know what, the laws don't count. Now, I want 493 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: you to juxtapose this situation with what we just saw 494 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: play out with James Hodgkins, who's the law who's the rioter, 495 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: who just got eight months in federal prison for the 496 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: crime of disrupting Congress. Congress was delayed in what it did, 497 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: disrupting Congress. Oh, eight months in federal prison for that interesting, 498 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: and they're going to go for multi year sentences. I 499 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: can assure you against people who we're getting, you know, 500 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: who actually either destroyed property. He didn't destroy property. This 501 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: guy was just there. He was just there eight months 502 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: in federal prison. Now, how do you get to that, Well, 503 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: his presence, he was trespassing, and his presence was part 504 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,239 Speaker 1: of a group. They say that was well, they say 505 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy things about it, but they'll say 506 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: that it was part of an insurrection, that there was 507 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: a threat to Congress from this, that people were terrified, 508 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: all this sort of stuff. And it's remarkable as you 509 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: actually look at this. The federal judge who was presiding 510 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: over this case called it an active domestic terrorism damage 511 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: that will persist for decades. Those who fled will be 512 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: traumatized for the rest of their lives. Makes it harder 513 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: for US diplomats to promote democracy abroad. That's right, this guy, 514 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: this guy at Hodgkins is getting a Paul. I'm sorry 515 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: I said James Paul Hodgkins is getting because I confused 516 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: it with James Hodgkinson, who you should all Remember he's 517 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: the Ernie Sanders supporter who back in twenty eighteen shot 518 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: Representative Steve Scalise is part of an actual mass assassination 519 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: attempt of conservative members of Congress. But Paul Hodgkins, Paul 520 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: Hodgkins pleaded guilty to obstruction of Congress. And if you 521 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: were to read the way the judge set this whole 522 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: thing up, you'd say, well, it's so clear that what's 523 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: really going on here is this guy's being punished for 524 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: at some level. Look, what he did is wrong. And 525 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: I've always said that you can't, right, you can't, you know, 526 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: break in and disrupt Congress. But you had anti Kavanaugh 527 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: people disrupting proceedings on Capitol Hill, blocking, blocking entrances and 528 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: acting like lunatics. You've had Democrats takeover state capitals, trespassing, 529 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: refusing to let people come and go, blocking the business 530 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: of the state legislature. Let's go back to the Scott 531 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: Walker days, what was going on in Wisconsin. So you know, 532 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: these kind of things do occur. The assaults on police officers, 533 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the most serious charge and that should 534 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: be that should be punished. I mean, you can't start 535 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: throwing punches at cops and doing this sort of thing, 536 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: and people should go to jail for that. I'm want 537 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: to say people should go to jail for that. You 538 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: got to serve some time for that. You can't do that. 539 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: But trespassing and by the way, I say, sometime was 540 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: the officer seriously injured? If the answer is no, but 541 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: a lot of you are probably saying, wait, hold on 542 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: a second, buck, how many BLM protesters who assaulted officers, 543 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: punched them, spat on them? Ah? Yes, you see. This 544 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: is the problem with actually having principles is that when 545 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: you try to apply them consistently, you're very disappointed with 546 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: the American system. You're very disappointed with how our justice 547 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: system plays out. Now. There is one side here that 548 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: always gets more than the benefit of the doubt. They 549 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: get a free pass, while the other is treated terribly 550 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: for reasons of politics. And that is what you are seeing. 551 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: That is actually what is happening here, you know, with 552 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: big tech colluding with the White House to block certain 553 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: opinions and shut down accounts online.

Okay, Lana bloom And will be 580 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: the first transgender woman on the cover of Sports Illustrated, 581 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: celebrated as a symbol of beauty. Now, I just I 582 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: know the Left has really lost its mind. I know 583 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: they're you know, they're they're crazy at some level. Um 584 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: that much is as obvious on a lot of issues, 585 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: but on this one, I've just got to say, do I, 586 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: as a heterosexual male, am I allowed to say that? 587 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: This is to me? You know, Sports Illustrated can be 588 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: woke and do whatever they want. But I don't find 589 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 1: a man who has physically altered uh you know traits, 590 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: you know gotten uh you know, a breast augmentation, essentially 591 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: fake breasts, and had other surgeries and things done. I 592 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: don't find that physically appealing or attractive. In fact, I 593 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: find it. I find it distressing. I find it disturbing. 594 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: I find it's sad. But this is this is not 595 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: about you. See, this is what the left always does. 596 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: At first they want tolerance, then they then they demand uh, 597 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: they demand celebration, right, tolerated, tolerated, Well, now you have 598 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: to celebrate it. That's the next step. And that's what 599 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: you see here. I mean, tolerance in the in the 600 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: context of transgenderism should be you treat everybody as as 601 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: a person with respect and decency and dignity. You're kind 602 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: to people. You don't just scrim it against people. Right, 603 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: That's that's what we could all agree tolerance should mean. 604 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: That's not tolerance for the left is no, no, you 605 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: you can't criticize this thing. You can't criticize the situation. 606 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: That's what they think it is. It's a very different circumstances. 607 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 1: And look, I think this is weird. I also think 608 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, any guy listening to this, if you were 609 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: on a if you were on a date with someone, 610 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: and by the way, those you say that would never 611 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: happen to me. I mean it's you start to look 612 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: at some of the surgeries, the things they're doing. You know, 613 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: it's I'm just telling you. I mean, I've I've heard 614 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: I've heard I've heard stories. I've heard stories, and you know, 615 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: how should you feel about that? And shouldn't a person 616 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: always have to identify as as trans? I mean there 617 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: are just so you understand where I'm going with this, 618 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: there are media outlets like the Huffington Post who will 619 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: use terms like transphobic for straight men who are not 620 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: attracted to trans women. So so look at what they're doing. 621 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: You're no, I am allowed to. You're allowed to for 622 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: the guys listening to be attracted to what we are 623 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: attracted to when it comes to, of course, consenting adults. 624 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: But that's it. They can't force this upon us. I 625 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: don't have to celebrate this. I don't have to think 626 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: this is normal or okay to elevate a person and 627 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: say this is a beauty symbol. But the Left is 628 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: relentless with this. They are relentless, and we are supposed 629 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 1: to think that a person who is not not female, 630 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: you cannot actually change your gender be attractive to straight males. 631 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: That's what the elevation to the cover of Sports Illustrator 632 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: is supposed to do. It's supposed to be confusing, it's 633 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be political, it's supposed to really be cultural 634 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: pressure on people, and it's just absurd and it's weird 635 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: that they do this to the general public. But the 636 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: Left has an agenda and they're pushing it. They're pushing it. 637 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: So here you go. What a day. Thanks so much 638 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: for being here with me on the Bucks Extent Show podcast. 639 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: Please do spread the word.
