1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram, 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: and Twitter. I've been telling you for a while that 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: they weren't going to release us from their grip. They 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: weren't going to let us get out from underneath their thumb. 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: The authoritarian democrats, so brainwashed, so in love with the 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: sound of their own voices and the ability to tell 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: you what to do, that it wasn't just going to 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: be a function of the case load for COVID going down, 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: that we couldn't just say, hold on a second, look 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: at mask mandate states and unmasked mandate states or states 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: that didn't require it, and see the data and come 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: to the obvious conclusion about what worked and what didn't work, 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: come to the very clear consensus that so many of 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: these so called interventions and mitigation measures barely worked, if 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: at all, and created enormous costs. That they would look 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: at the data on schools, they would look at what 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: happened to small businesses, and realize that this was a mania, 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: a lunacy that they were all on board with because 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: it meant they could be Trump. But now we have 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: to actually suffer through the consequences as a country. Now 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: that Daylight is emerging in America from this pandemic. We 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: see the full scale and scope of the damage. They're 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 1: not going to relent, But the big social media companies 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: aren't going to relent either, and they are constantly tracking you. 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: This is a really big problem. You can't trust these 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: companies anymore. I don't trust them. I don't want them 27 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: tracking me. I don't want them being able to know 28 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: everywhere that I've gone because they keep that information, they 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: run it through algorithms, and it could be used against 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: you down the line. Who knows. There's a lot going 31 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: on right now in the world of tech that should 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: put you on edge, and so you need to use 33 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: tech to your advantage where possible, to protect your privacy, 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: to protect your online viewing habits.

Right now, Biden finally emerges to give 57 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: a speech addresses the nation, and my Lord, was it depressing. 58 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this was the speech in tone, in tenor 59 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: that you could have expected perhaps twelve months ago from 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: a president. But even then I think it would have 61 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: been tone deaf. This is exactly what the Democrats have become. 62 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Listen to us or else, don't look at the data, 63 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: don't look at your own experience of what's happened in 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: this country. Do what we tell you, or terrible things 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: will happen to you. For a lot of us will 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: look at this and say, hold on a second. We 67 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: have over five hundred and twenty five thousand dead in 68 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: America right now from COVID nineteen over the last twelve months. 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: Who thinks that this was well handled? Who thinks that 70 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: our mitigation measures as Fouchi says, we're a success? Oh, 71 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: because we're the country that doesn't listen well. As you know, 72 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: on a per capita basis, the UK, which had more 73 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: extreme restrictions, had a higher death count than we did. 74 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: So it's not just America, it's not just Trump supporters. 75 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: They can live in this fantasy land as much as 76 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: they want. They failed, The lockdowners failed. We have the data, 77 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: we have the information. There is no honest, good faith 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: argument anymore about their success. The only question is how catastrophic, 79 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: how painful was their wrongness for all of us. I mean, 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: I honestly wanted to scream profanity at the TV when 81 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm watching Joe Biden. Tell me and tell everybody else 82 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: across the country that if you if you do everything 83 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: I say, you know, maybe you could actually have a 84 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: barbecue with your family members next him. People are barbecuing 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: right now, Joe. All across the country. People are indoor dining, 86 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: People are living their lives as much as they possibly can. 87 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: Despite the lunatic libs running around saying triple mask, where's 88 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: your triple mask? Why don't you take it seriously? They're 89 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: all so frightened because of the panic porn that has 90 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: been out there. They say things like we denied, like 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the Trump administration denied the virus. Virus deniers. That's a 92 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: stupid slander that only morons could say out loud. Trump 93 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: shut down international travel twelve months ago, block flights from China, 94 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: but then also block flights from all over the world. 95 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: We shut down travel, We had lockdowns. Trump extended the 96 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: lockdown request. I mean, I know it was in the 97 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: hands of the States, but he said, this is what 98 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: we should do. There's no virus denial. The only difference 99 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: here is people who think that if you get constantly hectored, 100 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: if you're being nagged incessantly by a bunch of powermad 101 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: hall monitors from the CDC and from the corporate media 102 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: about washing your hands and social distancing. If only you 103 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: get nagged enough, we're gonna save lives. Didn't work. Didn't work. 104 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: They can keep pretending like they're great heroes and all 105 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: the stuff. But the virus ripped through the country. We 106 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: have tens of millions of confirmed infections, more infections that 107 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: we can actually count right now, we don't even know. 108 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: They say forty percent of cases are asymptomatic. Let me 109 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: ask you this, do you think that forty percent of 110 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: asymptomatic cases have actually been caught? So? Do you think 111 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: we've even gotten to close to half of the number 112 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: of asymptomatic cases that are of course not? Whatever happened 113 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: to psurology testing we used to do that? Why did 114 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: we stop? Ask yourself these questions. All the people that 115 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: come at me that are so angry, it's really because 116 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: they're both afraid and they're vain. They think they're smarter 117 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: than they are. They think they've really thought this through. 118 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: I remember when we were being told that test and 119 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: trace was necessary to reopen at all in New York. 120 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: It was actually considered a requirement. We can't open, We 121 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: can't open restaurants, we can't open up businesses until we 122 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: get to a certain test and trace level. Well, that 123 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: was idiocy because we were never going to actually get 124 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: to that level of test and trace because you can't 125 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: actually chase down every contact and every positive case at 126 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: any given time in any populations down of the country. 127 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't work. We've never been able to do it. 128 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: But they thought that that was necessary. That was last June. 129 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about one hundred years ago. That was 130 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Whatever happened in sourology testing in New 131 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: York City. Surology testing showed last June, twenty percent of 132 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: the city had already been infected. Oh, we were masking 133 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: all right, masking everywhere. We had shut down businesses, we 134 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: had all kinds of procedures in place. Twenty percent of 135 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: the city got infected with this virus. How many do 136 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: you think have been infected by now? Just take that 137 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: as an example. We had the most cases, the most deaths, 138 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: the worst outbreak of the virus yet over this winter. 139 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: So you have to assume another twenty to thirty percent 140 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: of people were infected in New York over the wintertime. 141 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just common sense, and so when we're 142 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: getting to forty fifty percent of people that have already 143 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: been that have already had the virus, and we've now 144 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: added into that large numbers who have been vaccinated, So 145 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: we're getting pretty close to the end of this thing 146 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: for real. Does it sound like that though? When you 147 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: hear Joe Budden, why are they doing prology testing? Because 148 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: people would realize this notion that we have to get 149 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: the whole country vaccinated is crazy. We've had tens of 150 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: millions of people that have immunity to the virus from 151 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: having had it already. Are they supposed to get vaccinated too? 152 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: We're supposed to pretend that what we know about over 153 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: a hundred years of medicine and vaccination that it doesn't 154 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: count anymore. Notice you don't even see why don't they 155 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: do any psyology testing? Why is it never publicized? Why 156 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: haven't you seen a story on it where they draw 157 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: blood and they look to see what the antibody levels. 158 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: Aren't a population they check for previous infection? Ask yourself 159 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: these questions. They don't have good answers. They just get 160 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: mad at you. They say, listen to the science, obey fouch, 161 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: you listen to the science. That's all you'll ever hear 162 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: from them. And what Joe Biden was saying last night, 163 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: I mean it honestly, it enrages me. It enrages me. 164 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: I get angry about this now because these people are tyrants. 165 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: They're not living in reality. They're pretending that they're also 166 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: rooted in the data, they're also smart. It's laughable now, 167 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: except it's deadly serious. But it's laughable that they still 168 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: cling to the belief that they knew what to do 169 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: all along, that they had the answers that Joe Biden 170 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: and his team. You know, he walks out there, he 171 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: struts out to the podium. He's wearing his mask for 172 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: the walk up of the podium, and then he takes 173 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: it off. Yeah, that's really that's great, really keeping people 174 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: in the empty hallway safe until you walk up to 175 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: the podium. And now you're so, what exactly was the 176 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: mask wearing? It was all for show. It's virtue signaling, 177 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: it's vanity from people like Biden. The guy's already vaccinated, 178 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: you're still wearing masks after vaccination. I want you to 179 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: remember something. It would have been considered lunacy a year 180 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: ago to suggest that vaccinated people with a ninety five 181 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: percent protection rate vaccinated people depending on I know, if 182 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: it's the modern or the fiser vaccines would still have 183 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: to go through all these restrictions. Afterwards, people would have said, well, 184 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: that's crazy, that's where we are. Don't let them gaslight you. 185 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: Don't let them pretend that what you know to be 186 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: true is not true. I don't let them get away 187 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: with stuff like this. I mean, this was where it 188 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: really reached a peak of mania. Joe Biden talking about 189 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: what's in your future if you do every thing that 190 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: you're told play one. I need you. I need every 191 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: American to do their part. And that's not hyperboleate, I 192 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: need you. I need you to get vaccinated when it's 193 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: your turn and when you can find an opportunity, and 194 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: to help your family, your friends, your neighbors get vaccinated 195 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: as well. Because here's the point. If we do all this, 196 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: if we do our part, if we do this together, 197 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: by July the fourth, there's a good chance you, your 198 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: families and friends will be able to get together in 199 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout 200 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: and a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day. That doesn't mean 201 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: large events with lots of people together. But it does 202 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: mean small groups will be able to get together after 203 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: this long, hard year. That will make this independence day 204 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: something truly special where we not only mark our independence 205 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: as a nation, when we begin to mark our independence 206 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: from this virus. But to get there, we can't let 207 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: our guard down. This fight is far from order from over. 208 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: As I told the woman in Pennsvania, I'll tell you 209 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 1: the truth. On July fourth, with your loved ones is 210 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: a goal. But a goals, a lot can happen. I've 211 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: been seeing my loved ones for twelve months now. We've 212 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: taken certain prescription, you know, taking certain precautions at different times, 213 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: especially in the earlier days when we didn't know more 214 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: about the virus. I'm sure that ninety percent, nine nine 215 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: percent maybe of those of you listening right now across 216 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: the country have also not not seeing your loved ones. 217 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: It's like Fauci and Biden don't actually live in America. 218 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: They just go from a hermetically sealed box to the 219 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: green room, or you know, to the satellite hit they 220 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: do on CNN or MSNBC, and then they go back 221 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: to the hermetically sealed box. They've got to be kidding me. 222 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: Do you really think anyone's going to be listening to 223 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: them as the case load has already dropped, not because 224 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: of masks, not because we've done anything, all right, that's 225 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: just ridiculous now to hold this position. Oh, we fought 226 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: so well against the virus. No, the winder time is ending. 227 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: The flu season, which is now the COVID season has dissipated, 228 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: because that's what happened last year too. We've all seen this, 229 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: all right, We've all seen the curves go up and 230 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: come down. It hasn't changed. We know what's going on here. 231 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: Listen to me, and maybe you can be with your 232 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: loved ones. By July. I just want to tell Joe Biden. 233 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he we're at a point now we just 234 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: have to say Biden really just needs to go fauci himself. 235 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: And it's not like you have a choice in the matter. 236 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: That's clear from the Biden's speech last night. It's not 237 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: like you're allowed to say, you know what, I just 238 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: want to live my life. No. They want to continue 239 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: to meddle and control and poke and prod and be 240 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: in charge. I don't want to give that up. I 241 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: much prefer this power. They've got other things they have 242 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: to use this for. They're not done with you. You 243 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: don't have a say in this America. Joe Biden and 244 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: the scientists think about this. They used the term the 245 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: scientists on ironically. I mean they're being serious, as if 246 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: there's some group called the scientists that determine what policy 247 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: is and there's no debate, there's no judgment calling it whatsoever. Meanwhile, 248 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci now has to admit, yeah, we don't actually 249 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: have the science on this, but we'll make in judgment calls. 250 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: But Biden goes up and gives a speech about the scientists. 251 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: All say, really, what about the thousands of scientists that 252 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: signed the Great Barrington Declaration that said that we should 253 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: just do focused protection, that all of this is essentially 254 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: kabuki theater. That's right, virus kabuki theater. Thousands of scientists 255 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: they sign their name to it, from places like you know, 256 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Harvard Medical School and Cambridge University and places that actually 257 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: usually get a lot of credibility on the left. Ignored, ignored, Wow, 258 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: people in charge really think that they must be so smart? Huh? 259 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: Or maybe there's something else going on here, Maybe there's 260 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: a deep insecurity at the fact that they pushed us 261 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: into this madness and we were all now suffering the 262 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: consequences that they didn't actually save us, they didn't protect us, 263 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: and they made things worse. I would argue that the 264 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: lockdowners and the Fauciites made everything worse and by taking 265 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: this out of the hands of individuals to take their 266 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: own precautions and making the using the force of government, 267 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: because that is what they did, use the force of 268 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: government for universal quarantine measures, which were understood in the 269 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: medical community to be unthinkable and counterproductive for about a 270 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: hundred years until twenty twenty. To use the force of 271 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: government to make us all for a mass quarantine of 272 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: the healthy for months on end, was known to be 273 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: insane until what feels like about five minutes ago. And 274 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: if you have any problem with that, you're the bad person. 275 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: You're the wrong person. And they don't care that you 276 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: can now point to the data, you can point to 277 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: mask mandates. They don't even deal with the facts. The 278 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: CDC says, within the margin of error, mask mandates bring 279 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: down case and within the margin of error, was that 280 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: really what we were led to believe they had The 281 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: CDC directors say masks were more effective than the vaccine. 282 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: That is, you know, he said it. That is a 283 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, roughly speaking, a quote, but that's what he said. 284 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: You know, I would even go so far as to 285 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: say that this mask is more guaranteed to protect me 286 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: that a vaccine. That was I think exactly what he said. 287 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: That was. Director Redfield of the CDC think guys are moron. 288 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: These people are idiots. You think a mask is you nine? 289 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: Do you think if we were all wearing masks and 290 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: that create a ninety five percent protection whenever you're wearing 291 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: the mask. In fact, there's a very strong case to 292 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: be made. And they don't want to hear this, but 293 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: it's true that people were actually more willing to be 294 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: around other people and expose themselves to the virus because 295 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: they figured, well, I'm wearing a mask, I'm taking precautions. Okay, 296 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: you're taking precautions until you pull the mask down for 297 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: a moment, you know, because it's a little long comfortable, 298 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: you want to scratch something, and you know there's virus 299 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: flowing in the air, goes into your nostrils, goes into 300 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: your mouth. Now you're infected. You put your mask bask 301 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: back up. Though, and oh I'm really protected. I'm really 302 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: protecting myself. I mean, go look at the numbers of 303 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: frontline healthcare workers. I know they're exposed to more the virus, 304 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: but you know that it's not ninety five percent effective 305 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: to be wearing a cloth mask, even in a clinical setting, 306 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: because hundreds of thousands of doctors and nurses got infected. 307 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: They're wearing ppe. You just all you have to do 308 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 1: is think this through, and all these arguments they make 309 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: just falls apart. Now they pretend, well, it's worth it 310 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: for one percent. Really, the dehumanizing, uncomfortable effect of mass 311 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: mask policy and what that does to our psychology as 312 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: a nation and to us as people, is worth it, 313 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: even though I'm telling you that there Fauci himself said 314 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: that there were dangers from mask in the early days. 315 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: There were people the head of infectious disease at the 316 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: government level, and Weedon was saying, people are going to 317 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: think that they're safer because they wear a mask, and 318 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: they're actually going to expose themselves more So we shouldn't 319 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: convince people there was all this has all been forgotten. 320 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: Now listen to them or else. Biden says, here he 321 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: is on you better be vigilant, which means do whatever 322 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: I say or else play too and getting back to normal. 323 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: It depends on national unity. And national unity isn't just 324 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: how politics and politicians vote in Washington, what the loudest 325 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: voice is saying cable or online. Unity is what we 326 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: do together as fellow Americans, because if we don't stay vigilant, 327 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: and the conditions change and we may have to reinstate 328 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: restrictions to get back on track, and please, we don't 329 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: want to do that again. We've made so much progress. 330 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: This is not the time to let up. Just as 331 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: we were emerging from a dark winner into a hopeful 332 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: spring in summer, is not the time to not stick 333 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: with the rules. The rules. The rules. The rules are arbitrary, 334 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: The rules didn't work. The rules they make them up 335 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: as they please. These are policies. This is not science. 336 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: These are judgment calls. This is not a mathematical formula. 337 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: You we either as a kind. I know, for a 338 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of you're in places where you feel like, oh, 339 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's pretty normal around me. Yeah, but 340 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, air travel and train travel, and on federal grounds, 341 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: federal buildings and a lot of private businesses, national chains. 342 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: They're all just going to cling and cling and cling 343 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: to those little little dirty masks we've all been forced 344 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: to wear that we're sneezing in and coughing in. It's gross. 345 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: Gott to wear it all the time. Yeah, just just 346 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: ask somebody when when the next time someone gives you 347 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: a hard time. But I'd say, show me the show 348 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: me the data on outdoor transmission of coronavirus in open air. 349 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: Show me that data, show me, show me where those 350 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: cases are. They'll say, I believe the science or I 351 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: believe it's science. They actually don't. This has become a 352 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: religious belief for people that don't like to read. But nonetheless, 353 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: whatever Fauci says goes will reinstate restrictions. Oh now, you 354 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: could say the federal government doesn't do this, the states do. 355 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: It's the Democrat party, folks. What Biden says, every blue 356 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: state is going to do. And even some of you 357 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: Red states, you know, Governor Abbott in Texas really weak 358 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: on this stuff. He's got a little better recently, but 359 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: not much. Some of those Red states highly disappointing. So 360 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: it's not like you haven't suffered through the two If 361 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: you live in a city if you live in a 362 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: densely pompulated part of the country, you've basically been put 363 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: through this unless you well, even in Florida, that's not 364 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: even true. Even in Florida. Miami's got a lot of 365 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: mask mandates. You know. I had somebody that I was 366 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: talking to from ten feet away in an outdoor kiosk 367 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: tell me to put on a mask to talk to 368 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: them from ten feet away outside because it was Miami law. 369 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: And I feel badly for these people because what they're 370 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: saying is moronic. But it's not always their fault. We've 371 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: got work to do to ensure that everyone has confidence 372 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: in the safety and effectives of all three vaccines. So 373 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: our message to you is this, Listen to doctor Fauci, 374 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: one most distinguished and trusted voices in the world. He's 375 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: assured us the vaccines are safe. Vander want rigorous scientific review. 376 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: I know they're safe. Vice President Harris and I know 377 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: they're safe. That's why we got the vaccine publicly in 378 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: front of cameras so for the world to see, so 379 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: you can see us do it. The first lady and 380 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: the second gentleman also got vaccinated. Talk to your family, friends, 381 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: your neighbors, the people you know best who have gotten 382 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: the vaccine. We need everyone to get vaccinated. We need 383 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: everyone to get vaccinated. Does that mean children? They think 384 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: the kids who are at effectively zero risk from this 385 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: disease need to get vaccinated. Really, is that going to 386 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: be a condition of opening schools? And I'm sorry, I 387 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: am not willing to forget the fact that Kamala and 388 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: Joe were willing to spend real time during the campaign 389 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: casting doubt on the safety of the vaccine because it 390 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: was useful for attacking Trump. Does the vaccine work? Well, 391 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, you can't really trust Trump and it's it's 392 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: his FDA that's approving it. So that created a lot 393 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: of mistrust. Now they're they're acting like their heroes for 394 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: cleaning up a mass that in part they made by 395 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: casting real aspersions on the safety of the vaccine in 396 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: the first place. That came from Kamala, that came from 397 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Because that's how ruthless these Democrat politicians are. 398 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: That's how ruthless they are. Whatever they had to say, 399 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: And don't ever forget that so much of the media 400 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: around this was just a function of whatever's necessary to 401 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: defeat Donald Trump. Whatever they had to say about the vaccine, 402 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: about the virus, about everything around it, lockdowns. As long 403 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: as it was useful in their quest to beat Donald Trump. 404 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: They were on board. They were willing to do it. 405 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: And it's it's something that I will not I will 406 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: not let go. I will I will not forget that. 407 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: And I just think it's it's amazing they they hold 408 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: up Fauci. I mean, he's become this this uh, this 409 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: symbol really this this emblem of the of great scientific uh, 410 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, great scientific knowledge. What exactly has he done? Well? 411 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: What is the basis for thinking this guy has great 412 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: judgment or is even a genius in his field. He's 413 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: a bureaucrat who's been going around releasing, you know, public 414 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: safety announcements about the flu for the last twenty years 415 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: and saying wash your hands. Great. Wow, I'm impressed. And 416 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: now we find out and they just forget this that 417 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: hand washing probably does very little. I'm not saying it's irrelicant. 418 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Lots of little things can help, but they can't stop this. 419 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: And it's not as though if they constantly nag us 420 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: about all this, we're going to be so much better protected. 421 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: But go back and see what Fauci was saying about 422 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: HIV in the eighties and the way that he was 423 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: terrifying people and the misinformation that he was spreading. If 424 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: this guy actually worked in the private sector and there 425 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: was any accountability for what he does of what he 426 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: had done, he would have lost his job. But there 427 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: isn't any accountability as a bureaucrat. This guy is not impressive. 428 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: Biden holds up Fauci, like, how could anybody argue with him? 429 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: Fauci twelve months ago scoffed at the idea of masks 430 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: as an effective public health measure, as Fauci calls it, 431 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: for stopping this virus. What did we learn? What did 432 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: we learn? After that? They say, oh, well we didn't 433 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: know about asymptomatic case spread. Okay, well we thought the 434 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: virus was substantially more lethal when Fauci said that than 435 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: it actually ended up being. And it was a question 436 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: of should you wear a mask as a means of 437 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: stopping the spread of the virus? Is it good protection 438 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: for you? Does it stop you from infecting other people? 439 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: And Fauci was like, nah, doesn't really doesn't really work. 440 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: It's not really worth it for the public, which is 441 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: by the way the correct answer. They can pretend now like, 442 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: oh no, there are all these revelations, and we had 443 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: a mannequin and the mannequin did a spray through a thing. 444 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: They're telling you that the scientific consensus. If you believe 445 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: the scientific consensus of twelve months ago, that was the 446 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: scientific consensus on this issue in the West for a 447 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: hundred years. If you believe that, you're a conspiracy nut 448 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: and you don't believe science, that's where we are. That 449 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: is just a straight recitation of objective reality. As you 450 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: can tell, I am very angry about this. They've destroyed 451 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: lives friends. We had the most overdoses from from drugs 452 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: in this country in our history last year, over eighty thousand, 453 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: and that's just an indicator. It's like looking at homicides 454 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: in a city as an indicator of overall crime. There's 455 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: a lot of drug abuse, spousal abuse, child abuse, self harm, 456 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: deep psychological depression. You know, people that don't understand mental 457 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: health issues can't have an appreciation for this. When you're 458 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: in a mental health crisis, it is as painful and 459 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: awful as any physical crisis can be for you. I mean, 460 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a true prison of terror and fear and awfulness, 461 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: and we did that to people with our policies in 462 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: this country because of people like Faucci. We blocked them 463 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: off from human contact, We blocked them off from loved ones, 464 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: and lots of people died of the virus anyway, weren't 465 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: allowed to see their loved ones, weren't allowed to have 466 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: any time with them at the end. Because you know, 467 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci is king of the world. People should be 468 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: deeply embarrassed about the cowardice. Really, the character and ethical 469 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 1: cowardice that they showed by just handing over all their 470 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: critical faculties to government bureaucrats. That is what this is. 471 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: There was another way. They can ignore it as much 472 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: as they want. They could pretend that there wasn't, but 473 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: there was, in fact another way, and some people in 474 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: some places were able to take it. I bring you, 475 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: Governor Ronda Santis, Great State of Florida, Play thirteen. The 476 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: thing I hear. I was just talking to a friend 477 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: of mine who was in DC, and he's like, you know, 478 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: the different between Florida and DC's like it's dead. It's 479 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: totally dead. Here. People are living life, they're happier, and 480 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: things are just want to be here compared to that, 481 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: and I think that that has an effect far beyond 482 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: these nursing homes and there, but I think it's most 483 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: acute in the nursing home. So God bless those nursing 484 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: home residents. They've been through an awful lot over the 485 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: past year. And but yeah, we got to do whatever 486 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: we can to bring fulfillment to them. So if any 487 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: of those facilities have any need for the state to 488 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: help them out on any of that, we're ready willing enable. 489 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: We were the first with the testing, we were the 490 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: first with protections against the discharges in the facilities, first 491 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: with the vaccines, and we want to be first to 492 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: help them reach the fulfillment that they need. There's so 493 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: much about the Florida model that needs a lot more attention, 494 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: but the media won't do it because they were all 495 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: parts of the of the stupidity, the fraud, and the 496 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: panic there. There has always been this this false, this 497 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: false argument that was made during the pandemic last twelve 498 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: months by Democrats, by lockdowners, and by some Republicans too. 499 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: By no means, So I do I think that this 500 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: is only Democrats, but it was you know, really if 501 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: you look at the data, you show democrats are like, 502 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask up forever. A lot of them they're crazy. 503 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it completely lost all sense of proportion and reality, 504 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: some of them, not all of them. But well, when 505 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: you look at this, the false argument that was always 506 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: presented was either obey Faucism, like he is your god 507 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: king and there can be no questioning. Or you're out there, 508 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, spraying virus in people's faces, virus denier, vax denier, 509 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: no science, flat earth. You know, this was a total 510 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: caricature the whole time, a complete and utter fraud. This 511 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: doesn't this, this is not the the opposite of what 512 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: they're saying. Rather, this is not the opposition to what 513 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: they were saying. It's a caricature of the opposition. Was 514 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: it was possible to do focused protection in nursing homes 515 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: and to allow businesses to continue to operate, to continue 516 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: to stay open, to allow people to be out. I mean, 517 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this, folks, they were telling people 518 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: you shouldn't go out into public parks. You remember, they 519 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: were shutting down playgrounds, the experts, they were arresting people. 520 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: You know, they forget about all this now and they 521 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it because it just shows 522 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: how crappy their judgment is and how full of it 523 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: they were, because they were saying that was about the 524 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: science too. I mean, this is like the Democrats with 525 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: COVID are like a stockbroker who loses you money every 526 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: time you give him money to invest on your behalf. 527 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: You know, Hey, I'm your financial advisor. You keep losing money. Oh, 528 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: don't worry about this, this idea, If I'm an expert, 529 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: this idea is going to make you the money. Say 530 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: hold on a second, your last five ideas, I've lost everything. 531 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: Why am I going to on on? What are you 532 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: talking about? I'm the expert. I'm the expert. Listen to me, 533 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: or else listen to me, or or you're gonna miss 534 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: out on this big bull market. A lot of Democrats say, 535 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: all right, here you go. Poppa needs a new pair 536 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: of shoes. You know, let's roll the dice, let's go 537 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: for it. It's absurd. The difference here was whether we 538 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: allowed for individual localized improvisation, individual choice, and and actually 539 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: paid attention to what states we're we're functioning well and 540 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: what states were not under different approaches to the virus. 541 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: Look at California, Look at Florida. Florida is better on 542 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: all of them, all of the numbers, all of metrics. 543 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: California was an extreme lockdown state. Florida allowed for a 544 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: continuation of life. There were still restrictions. There was even 545 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: still indoor masking, which quite honestly, if I were in charge, 546 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that a government indoor mask mandate 547 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: is not supported by the data that actually you look 548 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: at restrictions and what worked and mask mandates and difference. 549 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we have the data from the CDC on this, 550 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: but you know, I think in some ways, even even 551 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: Florida got pushed into more than it really should have 552 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: had to do. But at least it was sane. We 553 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: were shutting down restaurants, We shut down outdoor dining in California. 554 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: Think about that, you shut down outdoor dining? What they 555 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 1: shut down schools? Why? It's not only that children are 556 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: at entirely acceptable risk from this virus, which means almost 557 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: no risk. They don't spread it to adults and we 558 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: don't even really know why, but it's very hard for 559 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: adults to get this from children. They still have us 560 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: shut down. This is a fight that we cannot, we 561 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: cannot relent, We cannot let them get away with this. 562 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: I know that they think that they're smart. I know 563 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: the lockdown or is the left, the Democrats, the corporate 564 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: media believe so strong they listen to the science. These 565 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: are people without intellectual curiosity or intellectual honesty, who have 566 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: all become invested in this for reasons that have nothing 567 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: to do with actually stopping the virus or saving lots 568 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: of lives, as much as they may pretend otherwise. This 569 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: is about vanity and virtue signaling and the refusal, the 570 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: refusal to accept the fact that they were unwilling to 571 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: take a country first approach to dealing with this virus 572 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, because the first priority of Democrats in 573 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty was not beating COVID, it was beating Donald Trump. Well, absolutely, 574 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: and I think at the end of the day, not 575 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: only her comments, but certainly comments that the administration is 576 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: made over the last several days, I think you have 577 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: to say that the crisis that we currently see is 578 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: the Biden Plan is what they had in mind to 579 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: all along. Whether they thought that they would get the 580 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: numbers as quickly as they have is up for a question, 581 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: but I think this is their plan. But when she 582 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: talks about inhumane or a humane policy that there's pent 583 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: up demand, I vehetmainly disagree with that. I think it's 584 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: the most humane inhumane message that you can give, and 585 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: you can sell all of these individuals a lie. And 586 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: what do I mean by that. We know that the 587 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: vast majority of these folks do not qualify for asylum, 588 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: and so they are eventually going to have to be 589 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: deported or leave the country and go back to their 590 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: to their countries of origin. They know that the Biden 591 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: administration knows that, so they are selling these individuals a lie, 592 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: encouraging them to put their themselves in the hands of 593 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: smugglers and traffickers. And so my opinion is that is 594 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: the most inhumane message and inhumane policy that you can deliver. 595 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: So Chad Wolfe, who was acting DHS chief for a while, 596 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: saying here that the border crisis is the Biden plan, 597 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: He's right about that. But there's a part of this 598 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: that I would add, there's a part of this that 599 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: I think he's honestly not seeing correctly, and that is 600 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: that the Biden plan is actually for that. Yes, it's 601 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: to pretend that they're going to get a silet's to 602 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: tell people, come here, you will get asylum. But they're 603 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: going to stay. They're not going to get deported. That's 604 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: the part of this that I think Chad is actually 605 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: not seeing. They're not going to get deported. That's the 606 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: whole point the illegal immigrants who are coming to the 607 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: country right now, and remember, their first act on US soil, 608 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: literally on US soil is the illegal crossing, which is 609 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: a violation of US law. It's a form of trespassing, 610 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: it's a form of violated US national sovereignty. That's the 611 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: first thing that they do. And then they've been coached 612 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: because the word has been out for a long time 613 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: about this, to claim defensive asylum or secondary asylum, which 614 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: is essentially throwing themselves on the mercy of the United 615 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: States and saying, oh, I know that I shouldn't have 616 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: come like this, but I'm just desperate. If I go 617 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: back to my home country, I'm going to be killed by, 618 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, the secret police or something. That's why we 619 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: have this so that if you're fleeing the Soviet Union 620 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: and you happen to get to you know, the shores 621 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: of New York or you know, you made your way 622 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: to the shores of Florida or wherever, and you say, Okay, 623 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: I know I didn't come through your legal process, but 624 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: you guys got to give me a chance, because if 625 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: I actually get sent back to my home country, I'm 626 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: gonna be killed. These are Central American migrants who are 627 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: coming largely it's not all from Central America, and they're saying, 628 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: I want to be in a I mean, there are 629 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: real motivations. I want to be in America because it's 630 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: better wages, better infrastructure, better government, and a better system. 631 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: That's just called being an immigrant. Right. They want to 632 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: be immigrants, and I do not. I have no blame 633 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: or disdain or you know, I understand that impulse. You know, 634 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: life is not fair being born in a country that 635 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: is a dysfunctional mess versus being born in America. That 636 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: is an unfair disparity that human beings are going through 637 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: all over the world every day. Right, being born in 638 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: North Korea is worse than being born in you know, 639 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. Okay, it is worse. We understand this, and 640 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: unfortunately we can't make this entirely fair because then the 641 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: country that is better is going to cease to be 642 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: a country. If you no longer have control over your borders, 643 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: you don't really have a country anymore. We all understand 644 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: how that works. If you don't just think about Okay, 645 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: go tell a country you know the size of the 646 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: Netherlands that they need to take in five million, you know, 647 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 1: five million immigrants from Syria, Afghanistan, you know, Libya, you know, 648 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: you name it, countries that have had wars in recent 649 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: years and that are having terrible problems. And then tell 650 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: those people in the Netherlands, well, your country is going 651 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: to be the same. You're just taking an immigrants. Well yeah, 652 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: but we're we're actually changing the character of the nation 653 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 1: because we're changing the people of this nation dramatically in 654 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: a transformational way. That does not allow for the kinds 655 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: of you know, the kinds of processes that bring people 656 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: into a feeling of community in the same nation over time. Right, 657 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: we're supposed to have that, that's supposed to be up 658 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: a part of all of this, and yet they don't 659 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: really talk about this. They don't have that as even 660 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: a discussion point anymore. It's allow for mass migration into 661 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 1: your country or else you are being unfair. Allow for 662 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: mass migration of the country or else you're a bad person. Actually, 663 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: you're you're a racist. There are a lot of countries 664 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: that don't allow people to just show up and become 665 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: permanent citizens with voting rights and the ability to demand 666 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: resources from the state. Right, we're supposed to have a 667 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: process in place, but the Democrats, the Biden administration is 668 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: intentionally undermining it. We have an open border, friends, that's 669 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: what this is. Press secretary smites Fox host that disc 670 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: diversity in the US military. You might be wondering, why 671 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 1: is Buck reading a headline from the comments or from 672 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: from a blog post at Slate dot com or huff 673 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: Post or one of these other lunatic left wing you know, 674 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: garbage heaps. But no, that's actually from Defense dot gov. 675 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: That's actually on a government news website. We have to 676 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: get into this right now. We've got our friend Kirschlichter 677 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: joining us. He spent decades in the United States military, 678 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: still active in the Army Reserve, and he's a senior 679 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: columnist at Townhall dot com. You should always look for 680 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: his work. Kirk great to see again. So here here's 681 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: the at the heart of this. The United States military, 682 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 1: quote is the greatest the world has ever seen because 683 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: of its diversity, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said during 684 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: a news briefing. Kirby addressed this because a Fox Cable 685 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: host used his show to denigrate the contributions of women 686 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: in the military and to say that Chinese military is 687 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: catching up to the US military because it does not 688 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,919 Speaker 1: allow women to serve the percentage in the United States does. 689 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear upfront, Kirby said, diversity 690 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: of our military is one of our greatest strengths. I've 691 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: seen it for myself in long months at sea and 692 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: the combat waged by troops in rock and Afghanistan, and 693 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: I've seen it, right, yeada yadya okay um. First of all, 694 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: why is a an employee of the of the DoD 695 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: uh press? Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby attacking in a 696 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson like Why spend his time doing that? Is 697 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 1: he a pundited? It's because what it's his masters want done. Look, 698 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump's people had did it, this would have 699 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: been the greatest assaulved on free speech in the history 700 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: of assualtype free speech. It would have been literally violence. 701 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: I'd be literally shaking you'd be literally shaked. The whole 702 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: world would be literally shaking. But remember Buck, there are 703 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: no rules. There's just power, and unfortunately they have it 704 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: now and they're using their power to new to the 705 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: American military. The thing is Tucker called them on it. 706 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: He told the truth, and they don't want to hear him. Now. 707 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: To actually discuss this, I have to put on my 708 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: trial lawyer at because this is a little bit of 709 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: sleight of hand. Argument wise, Tucker said, Hey, the American 710 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: military is an unseerious organization because we're focusing on things 711 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: like maternity flight suits and transsexual surgery. This is indisputably true. 712 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: The Chinese are focusing on killing Americans, which is also 713 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: indisputably true. Now they don't want to talk about that 714 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: because it's indisputably true. So what they want to do 715 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: is lie and pretend that Tucker is running down the 716 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,439 Speaker 1: contributions of women in the military. That is again a lie, 717 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: and it's a lighthold by people who have failed to 718 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: win a war in the last twenty years. I think 719 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: that's a much bigger issue than anything else. Now, how 720 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: does social justice, I mean the social justice focus that 721 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 1: the Pentagon Brass have you know, what are the ways 722 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: in which I mean you mentioned like maternity flight suits. 723 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: I mean essentially, what is the you know, Tucker was 724 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: making the arguments, as he admit, he's not somebody who's 725 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: served the military, but he's obviously in contact with a 726 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: lot of people who are, and he's a commentator and 727 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: that's what he's doing. He's sharing his view on what's happening. 728 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: I also think that you know, this is a fascinating 729 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: new standard where the United States military now when it 730 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: comes to Tucker Carlson, if you didn't serve, you're not 731 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: allowed to have opinions on it, right. I mean, it's 732 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: supported by tax dollars, it defends all of us. But 733 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: what is the case in your mind that that Tucker 734 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: is making. I mean, what do we need to be 735 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: aware of what Tucker is accurately pointing out that our 736 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: military is concerned with social justice nonsense, because that's why 737 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: it is and not winning wards. Okay, let's let's review 738 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: the last twenty years. And I think this is a 739 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: significant point. I mean, on Twitter last night and most 740 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: of leftist Twitter collectively wet itself. I pointed out that 741 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: Tucker has as one as many wars as our present 742 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: military leadership has in the last two decades. But Tucker 743 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: has actually lost your wars that our present military leadership 744 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: has in the last two decades, and they don't want 745 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: you to talk about that. The American military is not 746 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: ready to fight China. Instead, it's chasing its tail with 747 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: nonsense about quote unquote diversity, which I want to come 748 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: back to in a second, and all this social justice garbage, 749 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: because that's what it is. Let me tell you what 750 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: diversity is in the military. Diversity is everybody wearing camouflage. Okay, 751 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be an issue. Who you are shouldn't matter. Now, 752 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: capabilities do matter, and there are realities of differences between 753 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: men and women that need to be taken into account 754 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: and need to be discussed. Women and men are different. 755 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't say anything bad about women, And I was 756 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: sent the implication that somehow pointing out that a one 757 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: hundred pound woman is going to have trouble carrying a 758 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: one hundred pound backpack is somehow an attack on her. 759 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: Let me make you a buck. When I was a 760 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: platoon leader in Desert Store, I ran a heavily armed carwash. 761 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if I'm allowed to speak since I 762 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: wasn't in Delta Force, but we'll just assume I fit 763 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,760 Speaker 1: within the rules of who can talk about the military 764 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: for now. When I was there, I had a female 765 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: squad leader who had a photosensitive skin disease, which she hid. 766 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: Now that's a big problem when you're in the desert, 767 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: but she hid it because she wanted to be with 768 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: her troops. I had to send her home. Her heart unquestioned, 769 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: her patriotism unquestioned, her courage unquestioned. And no one's questioning 770 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: any of that. And it's a lie to guess talking 771 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: about that instead of the reality that we are cutting, 772 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 1: we are trading combat readiness for political correctness that is indisputable. 773 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: Tell me we're not slamming destroyers into cargo ships we are. 774 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: Tell me we're not driving pilots out of the Air 775 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 1: Force we are. Tell me all American brigade combat teams 776 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: are ready to deploy. They aren't. Now, there was a 777 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: story that I saw as well this week, Kurt, that 778 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: was a war game exercise. I'm sure you saw this too, 779 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,800 Speaker 1: about how it would go right now if the US 780 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: had to had to fight a straight up force on 781 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: force war against China not a cyber war, a you know, 782 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: guns going boom boom war, and it didn't come out 783 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: well for the US. No, it didn't, and they don't 784 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: want to talk about that. The simple fact is that 785 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 1: Chinese have built up their military. We have weakened arts. 786 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 1: We have weakened arts because we have gotten away from 787 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: the basics of military leadership and military culture. I consider 788 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 1: the fact that we have not built up our navy 789 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,720 Speaker 1: to be a critical fact. I think a worse fact 790 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: for America is that we have not demanded that the 791 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: officer corps focus on you're fighting instead of this political 792 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,720 Speaker 1: correct garbage. I mean, we've got raygions own. Lloyd Austin 793 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: is now the Secretary of Defense, and his big thing 794 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: is making sure everybody thinks exactly the same way, just 795 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 1: like Joe Biden, well to the extent Joe Biden thinks 796 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: and isn't told what he thinks and rooting out conservative 797 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: people within the military. They call him extremists. That's another lie. 798 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: But what the military should be doing is preparing to 799 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 1: deter our enemies or defeat them in high intensity combat. 800 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: It is not ready to do so. This failure of leadership, 801 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: and I'm terrified to this buck, this faire of leadership 802 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: is going to lead to a disastrous engagement where thousands 803 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,400 Speaker 1: of Americans die unnecessarily because they are not well trained, 804 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: not well equipped, and not well led. This I am 805 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 1: not happy to say that. I am not excited to 806 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: say this. This makes me sick to my stomach. And 807 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: you know what also tears me up. After twenty seven 808 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: years in the military and I loved it, I no 809 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: longer recommend people join the military. Somebody says, should I 810 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: join the military, I might stop. You need to really think. 811 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: You know, if you do, that's great. Do I think 812 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: the military is a organization that's going to treat him correctly? No? 813 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,399 Speaker 1: I don't. I do not think it is. How did 814 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 1: this And we're talking to Kurt Schlicht. He's a senior 815 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: columnist at Town Hall and an Army veteran. So the Kurt, 816 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: how did we get to this point in your estimation 817 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: where you're now saying this. I mean, this has got 818 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,720 Speaker 1: to be for somebody who spent over two decades serving, 819 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: this has got to be something that's tough for you 820 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: to say. And I know there are others. I've even 821 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: talked to you with others who are military present where 822 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 1: we were discussing this, who feel very much the same way. 823 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're talking to guys who are on the inside. 824 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: Guys and gals are on the inside of the DoD 825 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: who feel this way. How do we get to this 826 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: point and how do we get out of it? Well, look, buck, 827 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: a commander, troops do what commanders chat. And in the 828 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,399 Speaker 1: Obama administration, they made it very clear that you needed 829 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: to toe in liberal line, and they promoted liberal channels, 830 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: and people down the line understood that, and that's what 831 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: they enforced. So now you see these uh, now you 832 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: see these bizarre reading lists, you know, for for of 833 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: all these commanders, and it's all full of this racist garbage. 834 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm an anti racism training for four star generals is 835 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: now necessarily Yeah, it's just garbage. And they all do it. 836 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: And why did they do it? Because that's what was 837 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: rewared in the Obama administration. Why didn't Trump do anything 838 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: about it because unfortunately, like many civilians, was impressed by 839 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: the military and deferred to the generals and didn't go 840 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: in and change it. This could change tomorrow, This could 841 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: change in a heartbeat. You need a conservative president calls 842 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: in the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and says, here's 843 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: how it's going to be. And if it isn't, I'm 844 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 1: firing you. And then I'm going to fire everybody in 845 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: the chain of command, and I'm going to retire you 846 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: or sending you to No Molaska to hand out volleyballs. 847 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 1: And you put a couple of figurative heads on pikes, 848 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: and the military will conform. That's the thing. That's why 849 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: it's vulnerable. It is a military conforms to the vision 850 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: of its leaders. If the vision of the leaders is 851 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: social justice nonsense, then that's what the military is going 852 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: to be. If it's combat readiness, it will come back. 853 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,720 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping we get a president who is white, 854 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: willing to demand that we have a we're fighting organization 855 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 1: and fire generals until he gets one. And believe me, 856 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 1: you put a few, you kick a few of these 857 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: guys out and put them to pastor the rest of 858 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: generals will conform. Kirch, look to everybody, go to townhall 859 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: dot comference, lets column follow him on social Kurt, I 860 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: always appreciate man, thanks for being with us. And what 861 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 1: we know is that we need a federal solution guns 862 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: don't respect state borders. In New York State, seventy five 863 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: of the guns that are used in crimes in that 864 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: state are bought outside of New York, in states with 865 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: less strict gun laws, where criminals can buy a weapon 866 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: without having to go through a background check. And so 867 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: in order to protect all of America's children, we need 868 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: to pass universal background checks and close the Charleston loophole 869 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,800 Speaker 1: to protect the children. Notice how gun control is about 870 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:44,959 Speaker 1: protecting the children. As we know a very small percentage 871 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: of gun crime. Mean, every gun crimes is horrible, Every 872 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: homicide is a tragedy, and especially when it brings in 873 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 1: innocent children into the situation. But they're going for the 874 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,800 Speaker 1: emotional appeal appeal here, of course, suggesting that this is 875 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: going to protect kids. And so if you have a 876 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 1: problem with this, if you think that this is not 877 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: in a good way going forward, if you don't agree 878 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: with this, you are the problem, right, you don't want 879 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 1: to protect children, That's what they're saying. That's the way 880 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: that the emotional manipulation here at the hands of Democrats works. 881 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: But I just want to say that they're pushing these 882 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: things right now as quickly as they can because they 883 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: know that as we see more of this Biden administration, 884 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: the incompetence, the enormous spending, the payoffs a special interest, 885 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: the lack of accountability for the dumbass lockdown policies, all 886 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 1: these things, people are going to get increasingly tired of 887 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: being told what to do, and they're going to get 888 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: tired of the Biden administration using a crisis mentality. I'm 889 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: gonna see the administration, I mean, the whole Democrat Party 890 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: right now, the Democrat Party is really it feels flush 891 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 1: with power. I mean, they feel like they're just they're 892 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 1: they're in the best position they've been in in ten years, 893 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 1: and they're going for it. And they want to push 894 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: gun control. Now we're not out of the pandemic. We 895 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: still have these restrictions, and they are telling you that 896 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: they're going to save lives by improving background checks. I mean, really, 897 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 1: this is what the House bill that that has been 898 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 1: passing on the sales that they're gonna they're gonna save 899 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: lives by making it slightly more annoying for people to 900 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 1: legally purchase firearms. You know what this guy left out 901 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 1: of this. You know Senator Murphy left out of this 902 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 1: when he talks about a federal response to gun violence, 903 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 1: what he left out of it is that most of 904 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,839 Speaker 1: the guns when they're when they're talking about the guns 905 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 1: that are coming into states that are being used in 906 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,760 Speaker 1: crimes from out of the state. Yeah, guess what, that's illegal. 907 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: These are illegal gun sales. So their response to illegal 908 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: gun sales is to pass another law that makes it 909 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: harder for there to be legal gun sales, or more 910 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 1: annoying or more tedious or slower or whatever it may be. 911 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: Their their idea to stop gun violence is to make 912 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 1: law abiding gun transactions more onerous. This is this is 913 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: always the left mentality on this. But remember whenever they 914 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,720 Speaker 1: want to get something thought, you know, it's about about 915 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 1: the children. Right, here's Nancy Pelosi play fifteen today on 916 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 1: the floor. We go to that fourth place, a safe 917 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: environment which our children can thrive by passing the background 918 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,800 Speaker 1: chech legislation. It's hard to imagine legislation being more popular 919 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: than the Rescue Plan seventy five percent whatever. This legislation 920 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: background checks closer to ninety percent bipartisan support across the country. 921 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,479 Speaker 1: Receiving a support of gun owners, hunters, and the rest. 922 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,800 Speaker 1: They've all had to do a background check. Why shouldn't others. 923 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 1: Our chairman of the Task Force, Mike Thompson is a hunter, 924 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: is a veteran, and is a gun owner, and he 925 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: has had again protective of the First Amendment rights of 926 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,320 Speaker 1: gun owners, but also protective of the survival of our children. 927 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, the First Amendment rights of gun owners. I 928 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: just wanted you to hear that. Hey, I have a 929 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: big I have a big believer it the First Amendment 930 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 1: rights to bear arms. Um, Nancy, I got news for you. 931 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what I say. These Democrats they 932 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: have never actually they've never read nor understood the Constitution. 933 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, some parts of it have been spoon fed 934 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 1: to them that they know, some of the phrases that 935 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,319 Speaker 1: we all learn in grammar school about it or whatever, 936 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 1: you know. But you know, it's like, Nancy Pelosi, I 937 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,720 Speaker 1: really believe in the Constitution that it says for score 938 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 1: and and you know, yeah, no, no wrong speech. But 939 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: that's okay. It doesn't matter constitutions on a speech, of course, 940 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: But you get what I'm saying. Nancy Pelosi has no 941 00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: idea what the heck is going on when it comes 942 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 1: to actually deducing violence or dealing with criminality in this 943 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,760 Speaker 1: country because their party was largely favorable to the massive 944 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: surge of violence, of criminality that happened as a result 945 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: of the BLM movement and the Ferguson effect on police 946 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 1: officers where they realize, Okay, we're not going to be supported, 947 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,239 Speaker 1: we're not going to do our jobs as much. That 948 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: results in more people getting killed. It happened, and I 949 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: think it was forty seven to fifty of the biggest 950 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 1: cities in the country last year had had two digit 951 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 1: increases at least some of them had more like a 952 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,359 Speaker 1: fifty to one hundred percent increase, but had at least 953 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:37,040 Speaker 1: a double digit increase in shootings and homicides in a 954 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,879 Speaker 1: pandemic year when they're far fewer people in the street. 955 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: But really, the gun control issue, they're gonna keep doing this. 956 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna do things that they know there'll be no 957 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 1: bipartisan support on because they're gonna throw all this at 958 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: the Republicans. They're gonna claim obstruction all the time. And 959 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 1: then what will happen is on one of these issues 960 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,120 Speaker 1: than I believe it will be amnesty. But on one 961 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,720 Speaker 1: of these issues they're gonna say this is we've tried 962 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,880 Speaker 1: and tried. They haven't actually tried at all. They just 963 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: say do what we say or else to the Republicans. 964 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,760 Speaker 1: But they're gonna then claim we've tried to meet them halfway, 965 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: which is a lie. But we've tried to meet them halfway. 966 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 1: They won't do it. So we have no choice but 967 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,839 Speaker 1: to obliterate their obstructionism by eliminating the filibuster. And once 968 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,840 Speaker 1: they do that on one issue, understand, then it's open season. 969 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: Right then they're gonna go for it on every issue. 970 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: And this is why the Democrats are picking these things 971 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 1: where they know that they want it. They know they're 972 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: not going to get any bipartisan support on it whatsoever 973 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 1: from the Republicans, and they're gonna stack all these up 974 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 1: so that one of them will be the issue. And 975 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 1: I believe I could be wrong. I believe it will 976 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: be amnesty. They're just going to break the damn and 977 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 1: say our way or the highway, you know, deal with it, Republicans. 978 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: I mean this gun control thing, background checks, there's no 979 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 1: reason to believe that even if the Democrats got what 980 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,320 Speaker 1: they want, it would save even a single life. But 981 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: it will annoy a lot of people and it does 982 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 1: the incrementalist approach to restricting. Not your first Amendment right, Nancy, 983 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: your second Amendment right. Cuomo in some increasingly hot water. 984 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: The governor of New York now has more allegations against 985 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: him six last time I counted, and they're getting more serious. 986 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 1: Something even more serious involve actual unwanted touching, groping allegations 987 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: out there. And then there's also the nursing home scandal, 988 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,320 Speaker 1: which I still think is by far the biggest problem 989 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,799 Speaker 1: that he has, but the Democrats don't want to focus 990 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: on that one. Of course. Now that is the media. 991 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: Our friend Pedro Gonzalez is with us now assistant editor 992 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,840 Speaker 1: at American Greatness. Pedro, thanks so much. Oh, always a 993 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: pleasure to be here. So well, what you've got a 994 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,399 Speaker 1: piece out on the Cuomo situation. Tell us how you're 995 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 1: seeing it, because I will say, people that I know 996 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 1: who understand New York pretty well, new York politics well, 997 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: are saying that they're actually now crossing over into maybe 998 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: he's not gonna politically survive this right. So that article 999 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 1: was published in the National Interest, and the thesis is 1000 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 1: this that whether or not there are people, mainly Democrats 1001 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 1: and leftists, who really do find sexual harassment a greater 1002 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: crime than fifteen thousand senior citizens dead followed by an 1003 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 1: abusive cover up, Whether or not that is actually the 1004 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 1: the the driving motive for this, these calls for resignation 1005 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: or not, still, I think reveals how how messed up 1006 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 1: the worldview of these people are. So the nursing home 1007 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 1: thing and the cover up that predates the sexual harassment stuff. 1008 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 1: But for the most part, it was it looked like 1009 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 1: Cuomo is going to emerge out of this whole thing unscathed, 1010 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: Like he was downplaying at the media he had basically 1011 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: he didn't apologize for it. You kind of just said, 1012 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 1: I apologize for your ignorance of like, of my greatness 1013 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,520 Speaker 1: and of what I was doing. If I didn't communicate 1014 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 1: as well they should, it's because I'm so busy being 1015 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 1: a great governor, so you know, cut me some slack, 1016 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: and and you know, it looked okay, and then you 1017 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 1: have these allegations. At allegations, he asked her a kiss 1018 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 1: at a wedding. You know, so you may or may 1019 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: not find that inappropriate, but that that is a headline 1020 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: at the New York Times. Governor Cuomo single man asked 1021 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,479 Speaker 1: her a kiss at a wedding. And it was only 1022 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: around the time that these these women started coming forward 1023 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 1: and started Cuomo tried to kiss me or Quomo did 1024 00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: this that then you started to have top Democrats withdrawing 1025 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 1: their support from him, saying we want you gone and 1026 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 1: oh and also the nursing home thing was not okay. 1027 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: But it was not until the me too stuff that 1028 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 1: Cuomo started to really look like he was in trouble. 1029 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: So I guess what I'm saying is that it shows 1030 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: that even the people who don't really believe the the 1031 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, the kiss me allegations are that big of 1032 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 1: a deal they think, and they want him gone for 1033 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 1: other reasons either, you know, like Cuomo seems to have 1034 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 1: a lot of friction between him and the Democratic Party 1035 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 1: in general, but they still waited for those allegations, and 1036 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 1: that I think that shows how how deranged this world 1037 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 1: view is and how everyone is behold like they're all 1038 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 1: slaves to it. You're not allowed to criticize somebody like 1039 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 1: Cuomo until something like me too happens, and only then 1040 00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: can you Oh, by the way, it wasn't okay that 1041 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: you killed or responsible for the deaths of fifteen thousand 1042 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:32,040 Speaker 1: senior citizens. Now, what do you think ends up happening here? Pedro? 1043 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean, where do you see this going? Because it 1044 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: feels like the Democrats have all of a sudden turned 1045 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: on him on the issue of the unwanted kiss or toucher, 1046 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, and the media, but they're still sort of 1047 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: protecting him on the nursing home thing, even though Latsia James, 1048 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 1: the Attorney General for the State of New York, has 1049 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 1: has put out some information already suggesting that there was 1050 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 1: a cover up. Right, well, I think it's not beyond 1051 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: the pale to say that he's going to survive this, 1052 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 1: because people seem to survive almost anything these days, especially Democrats. 1053 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: If you're on the laft, your chances of survival in 1054 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 1: a in a situation like this are much higher than 1055 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: they would be for I think a Republican. But it 1056 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: does seem to be that the again, the sexual harassment 1057 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 1: allegations seem to have provided a pretense for not just 1058 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 1: for getting rid of them, to save things for the 1059 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 1: nursing home thing, which is really, like you said, like 1060 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 1: that is the true crime. But there's also a lot 1061 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 1: of other I guess there's a lot of other backstory. 1062 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,120 Speaker 1: To this. It seems like a lot of people, a 1063 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats, have a bone to pick with Cuomo, 1064 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 1: and this is they feel their chance to finally do 1065 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: something against him. And there's there's so many other reasons, 1066 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: uh to to, you know, to criticize him. Under Cuomo, 1067 01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,080 Speaker 1: you also saw violent crime go up, even though like 1068 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 1: Democrats were the ones pushing for eliminating cash bail, and 1069 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 1: like you had Democrats and left wing, left wing bureaucrats 1070 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: in New York releasing looters almost as soon as they 1071 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 1: were caught. And so there are all these really actual 1072 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 1: valid criminal reasons to get rid of Cuomo, but again 1073 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 1: everyone decided to wait until the inappropriate behavior allegations came forward. Pedro, 1074 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 1: you also speaking to Pedro Gonzalez, assistant editor at American Greatness, 1075 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: tell me about switching gears here for a second. The 1076 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 1: DOJ investigation about Facebook and discrimination against hiring Americans. I 1077 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 1: feel like this doesn't this is not getting nearly enough attention. 1078 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we talk about Facebook and big Tech and 1079 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 1: these companies that are actively suppressing conservatives, and that's certainly happening, 1080 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 1: but what is this with discriminating against hiring Americans in 1081 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: favor of hiring foreign nationals, especially given the immigration situation 1082 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 1: that's playing out right now. I feel like people should, 1083 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, in our southern border, people should know more 1084 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 1: about this, right. So the reason that this got buried, 1085 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I think is because the investigation, the news of it 1086 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 1: broke in December. So you what you have last year, 1087 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 1: You have riots and rallies, a contested election, you have 1088 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 1: all these things that are distracting us from this I 1089 01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 1: think huge story. And that story is that the Justice Department, 1090 01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the two year investigation, found that 1091 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Facebook actively deliberately discriminates in hiring against Americans in favor 1092 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 1: of foreign nationals, and that in that two year span 1093 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:45,440 Speaker 1: they found more than two thousand, six hundred positions for 1094 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 1: which qualified, available American applicants were deliberately rejected, which is 1095 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:57,080 Speaker 1: against the law. And what the investigation found is is 1096 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 1: it all of this is technically legal, that basically Facebook 1097 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,680 Speaker 1: had complied with the Immigration Act of nineteen ninety as 1098 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 1: it was written while actively discriminating against people. And obviously 1099 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: the DJ says, well, no, it's not illegal. This is 1100 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 1: a violation of American civil rights. But Facebook's response has 1101 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: been and their lawyers have been will we cheat at 1102 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: Farren Square, and you can't blame us because we found 1103 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: ways that like, you know, cheat within the rules without 1104 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: breaking any laws. And so there are so many different 1105 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 1: angles to this, and the big one I think is 1106 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: that you often hear Republicans and Democrats say, you know, 1107 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 1: legal immigration is good, you know whatever, We can quibble 1108 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:45,040 Speaker 1: about illegal immigration, but legal immigration is just an unqualified 1109 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,040 Speaker 1: good thing. And what I think that the big takeaway 1110 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: from this investigation is is that the legal immigration itself 1111 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: often acts as the legalized displacement of American workers. And 1112 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 1: in the case of the like Facebook, these uh so 1113 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 1: called high skilled visas, although that's really dubious, you're actively 1114 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 1: displacing like basically the American middle class, professionals, people that 1115 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 1: go to college and or vocational training for like computer science. 1116 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 1: You're discriminating against them. You're you're literally, quite literally killing 1117 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: the American middle and it's a it's all legal. I 1118 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 1: mean again, the DJ you know figured out that Facebook 1119 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 1: was was, you know, doing things that are just totally unethical, 1120 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: and that's why they're getting sued. But technically no laws 1121 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 1: were broken. Now Pedro, it feels like Republicans aren't even 1122 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: really sure, what the argument is that they're trying. Sure, 1123 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 1: there's an open border, this is what Biden wants. But 1124 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 1: Democrats are executing on their plan here, which is to 1125 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 1: bring more and more legal immigrants into the country in 1126 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: preparation for a massive amnesty. I don't I don't hear 1127 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 1: a unified voice from the Republican Party about what we 1128 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 1: want to have happen and what should happen here. Right, No, right, 1129 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 1: And that's I think that's that shows how far we 1130 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 1: are from even getting to the issue of legal immigration 1131 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 1: because we're so we're still behind on the issue of 1132 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, which I think is even easier to handle. 1133 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 1: It's just a no brainer. But I think one thing 1134 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:24,880 Speaker 1: that is causing the GOP to approach this with trepidation 1135 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 1: is there is this rising notion of the big Tent, 1136 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,000 Speaker 1: which I mean, it's noting new, but every you know, 1137 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: every now and again, this this becomes the talking point, 1138 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,080 Speaker 1: the big Tent. And basically, I think you have a 1139 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 1: growing number of Republicans who are open to amnesty, and 1140 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,640 Speaker 1: not a few of these have I think unfortunately, like 1141 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,760 Speaker 1: the nod from Trump. Like one of them is Maria 1142 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Salzar in Florida. She received an endorsement from Trump. She's 1143 01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 1: open to amnesty, she's for gun control, she's in favor 1144 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 1: of a carbon town. And she recently accosted Stephen Miller, 1145 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 1: former Trump advisor, and I guess gott into an argument 1146 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,240 Speaker 1: with him and said, you know, like, I'm the new 1147 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 1: face of the GOP, and you need to be more 1148 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 1: accepting of basically of immigrants, because you know, we have 1149 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: just as much of a right to be in this 1150 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 1: party as anybody else, which I mean, that's true, but 1151 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: of course it's it's basically moral blackmail. You know, to 1152 01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 1: be against illegal immigration is basically to hate Hispanics, which 1153 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 1: is just phenomenally stupid. But that's that's the kind of 1154 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,480 Speaker 1: argument that Maria Salazar's deploying. And then I think what's 1155 01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: really telling about how how messed up the GOP is 1156 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 1: right now is in Texas, what has Governor Greg Abbott 1157 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: been doing about illegal immigration. Well, it's not really clear, 1158 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 1: but yesterday he released his statement against gab a social 1159 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:56,680 Speaker 1: media network that the Texas GOP has an official account 1160 01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 1: on calling the platform and by extension, his own party 1161 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: and every single Republican voter in Texas on the platform 1162 01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 1: anti Semitic and like the vice chair of Texas of 1163 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 1: the Texas Goop News cat parts, he's also been talking 1164 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 1: about the Big Tent and kind of like hinting it, well, 1165 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 1: we need to we need to soften up on immigration 1166 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: so that we don't alienate voters. And this is just 1167 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,480 Speaker 1: like the absolute tragic comedy state of the GOP at 1168 01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 1: the moment. Talking to our friend Pedro Gonzalez at American 1169 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 1: Greatness go to American Greatness dot com for his latest piece, Pedro, 1170 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: Always appreciate your appreciate your perspective. Man, Thanks so much 1171 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 1: for joining. Always a great time. Thank you. Well, I 1172 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 1: think there's been a lot of confusion about what's been 1173 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: happening at the border as it relates to people who 1174 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 1: are coming across and what happens when they come across. 1175 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 1: And I know Governor Abbott down in Texas has expressed 1176 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,720 Speaker 1: some of his concerns and many of those have not 1177 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 1: been based in fact. So let me go through a 1178 01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 1: few of those, because I know we're all interested in 1179 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 1: facts around here. One, Governor Abbott has referred to what's 1180 01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 1: happening at the border as open borders, as thus having 1181 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 1: an open borders policy that is absolutely incorrect. The borders 1182 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 1: not open. The vast majority of individuals apprehended or encountered 1183 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,640 Speaker 1: at the border continue to be denied entry and a 1184 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: return under Title forty two. As we've already mentioned. Also, 1185 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:27,759 Speaker 1: he has suggested that we are not vaccinating CBP officers. Again, 1186 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,680 Speaker 1: we like to deal with facts around here. There's no 1187 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 1: higher priority than the health and safety of our federal workforce, 1188 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,840 Speaker 1: and the Department of Homeland Security and CBP has been 1189 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:39,919 Speaker 1: clear that currently more than sixty four thousand frontline DHS employees, 1190 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 1: including members of US Border Patrol, have received a vaccination. Wait, 1191 01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 1: so sixty four thousand people in DHS, what percentage? I just, 1192 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: since she's going to be miss numbers here, I want 1193 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,200 Speaker 1: to ask zackybaumb Okay, well, how many Border Patrol agents 1194 01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 1: have actually been vaccinated? Because that's what the that's what 1195 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: the issue was. It wasn't DHS, which is enormous, a 1196 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 1: giant loaded bureaucracy with hundreds of thousands of employees, which 1197 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,280 Speaker 1: how many people, how many of them are in Border patrol. 1198 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: You you don't get to say, you know, if I 1199 01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 1: told you, oh, you know, no one in the Marine 1200 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: Corps is getting vaccinated these days. That's a problem. You said, well, 1201 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,320 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in the armed forces 1202 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: who have been vaccinated. I'd say, well, okay, but what 1203 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: about what I said the Marine corp. Are they getting 1204 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 1: vaccinated at what rate? Right? And by the way, that's 1205 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: a totally that's just an example situation. I'm obviously not 1206 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 1: saying that's what's going on, but that's that's one way 1207 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,800 Speaker 1: that Saki can avoid looking at the actual numbers here. 1208 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:41,679 Speaker 1: But this notion of the open border, we're seeing this happen. 1209 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gas lighting and we see what's going on. 1210 01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,559 Speaker 1: If everybody arriving at the border was being turned back, 1211 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,200 Speaker 1: do you think that people would be arriving in the 1212 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 1: border the numbers are we making up? The videos that 1213 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,600 Speaker 1: are circulating all over the internet now of hundreds of 1214 01:09:55,680 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 1: people streaming and walking right across the Rio grand They're 1215 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:06,000 Speaker 1: coming right in, right the Rio Grande whatever. You know, 1216 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 1: They're coming right in And what is this? We know why? 1217 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 1: Because they claim asylum and then they get released the 1218 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 1: interior of the United States. A majority of the people 1219 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:23,600 Speaker 1: are being turned away. I explained this to Babe. This 1220 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,640 Speaker 1: is fascinating. This is the White House Press secretary. They 1221 01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,839 Speaker 1: always claimed they're about facts in truth. If a majority 1222 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 1: of the people are being turned away, okay, give us 1223 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: the numbers, give us the data. What are they won't though, 1224 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 1: they say, oh no, you gotta go somewhere else for that, 1225 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 1: and we don't have that number right now, you got 1226 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 1: to go to DHS for that number. Well, then how 1227 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,560 Speaker 1: can they know if a majority of the people, a 1228 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: vast majority, i think is what she said, are being 1229 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,040 Speaker 1: turned away, they're lying, do you, folks, They're lying to you? 1230 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: Because this is a this is a problem right now. 1231 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: It's so obvious what's going on and what is an 1232 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,719 Speaker 1: open border. An open border is one in which people 1233 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,400 Speaker 1: can just come with a belief that they'll be able 1234 01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,640 Speaker 1: to stay in a country. That's what's going on in 1235 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 1: our southern border right now. I mean, yeah, there's if 1236 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,599 Speaker 1: you show up and they have you in the system 1237 01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: as like a mass murder or something. I'm sure there 1238 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 1: are some circumstances where they're not going to let you 1239 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: into the country at all, But overwhelmingly, it seems if 1240 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 1: you just show up and say you're fleeing a violence, 1241 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 1: you have a credible fear you're going to get to 1242 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 1: stay in. That's why they're all coming. If they were 1243 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 1: all being turned back, they would stop coming. We've already 1244 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 1: run this experiment, we've seen how this plays out. But 1245 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 1: also they won't they won't even admit that it's a 1246 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 1: real crisis. Play eighteen. Now today there are we're thirty 1247 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,679 Speaker 1: seven hundred children, unaccompanied minor children in border for chronic custody. 1248 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 1: They're spending on average over one hundred hours four days 1249 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 1: in these facilities that are jail like facilities, not meant 1250 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,559 Speaker 1: for children. So how can you say that's not a crisis. Well, 1251 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 1: I think what Ambassador Jacobson and Secretary Yorkists were conveying 1252 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,800 Speaker 1: and what I've conveyed is it doesn't matter what you 1253 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 1: call it. It is an enormous challenge. Well then why 1254 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 1: not just admit that it's a crisis. Right, it doesn't 1255 01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:06,720 Speaker 1: matter what you call it, but we won't call it 1256 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 1: the thing that it obviously is this is a classic 1257 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 1: Democrat moment, and it's amazing. Bit Jensaki is the White 1258 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: House Press secretary, It honestly is really. I mean, look, 1259 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,599 Speaker 1: there have been some Republican White House Press secretaries too 1260 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: that I thought, you know, we're not very we're not 1261 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 1: very competent of the job. But this goes to show you. 1262 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:23,800 Speaker 1: But you know, you just got to be up there 1263 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:28,439 Speaker 1: and keep on spinning, keep on spewing the nonsense. It 1264 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,639 Speaker 1: does matter what you call it because the public's attention 1265 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:32,720 Speaker 1: on this change is depending on what the description of 1266 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 1: the situation is. And she knows that, which is why 1267 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 1: she won't call it a crisis. We're not dumb. We 1268 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 1: understand what's going on here. We see what's actually happening here. 1269 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: So I just wish there would be a little bit 1270 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: more honesty from the Democrats. But we know that's not 1271 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,720 Speaker 1: going to happen because there now is their window. They 1272 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 1: view it as this is when they can get away 1273 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 1: the American people. You know that the Democrats won this election. 1274 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 1: They did all these shenanigans. They convinced people that Trump 1275 01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 1: basically created the virus himself and was they and all 1276 01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 1: this stuff, all these lines, all these promises. Now is 1277 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:04,640 Speaker 1: when they think they can get away with all the 1278 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 1: progressive insanity because within you know, six to nine months 1279 01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,320 Speaker 1: of now, we're going to see the results and say, 1280 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,759 Speaker 1: oh my god, just like we saw into the Obama administration, 1281 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and the Democrats are actually bad at governance. It is 1282 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 1: time for the voice of God. That's right, our friend 1283 01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 1: God side is with us now. He is the author 1284 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:27,559 Speaker 1: of the parasitic mind. How infectious ideas are killing common sense? God? Good, 1285 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 1: good to talk to you again. Thank you so much 1286 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:32,600 Speaker 1: for chatting with me. Yeah. I mean, this is a 1287 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 1: time when it seems that ideas killing common sense. It's 1288 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,440 Speaker 1: happening more now than ever before. We're getting rid of cartoons, 1289 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:44,479 Speaker 1: we're pretending that there's no real biological difference between men 1290 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 1: and women, that this doesn't even matter in sports or 1291 01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,560 Speaker 1: in military combat roles, that it just there's all this 1292 01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 1: out there that people that believe there is such a 1293 01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,720 Speaker 1: thing as common sense would have to say, this is 1294 01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,840 Speaker 1: contrary to that. What is going on? Right, So, the 1295 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:05,760 Speaker 1: general idea is that there's a bunch of idea pathogens 1296 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:12,320 Speaker 1: that were spawned on university campuses maybe forty fifty years ago, 1297 01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: each of which eradicates part of our edifices of reason. 1298 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:21,080 Speaker 1: And so that's exactly what I explained in the Parasitic Mine. 1299 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 1: I basically argue that very much the way we today 1300 01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:28,640 Speaker 1: have the COVID pandemic, we've had a raging pandemic of 1301 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,879 Speaker 1: the human mind, whereby these parasitic ideas have completely removed 1302 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,559 Speaker 1: our capacity to recognize that there is such a thing 1303 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 1: as the sun above us, that there is left right down, 1304 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 1: up down, that there is such a thing as women menstruating. 1305 01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 1: And so each of these dreadful departures from common sense 1306 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,479 Speaker 1: comes from a different idea pathogen. So maybe I can 1307 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,719 Speaker 1: discuss a few if you'd like. So. Postmodernism, for example, 1308 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 1: is arguably the granddaddy of all idea pathogens, because it 1309 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,840 Speaker 1: purports that there are no universe, so truth, there's no objectivity. 1310 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 1: We are completely shackled by our personal body. Where does 1311 01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:07,160 Speaker 1: this come from? I mean, give us a little For 1312 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,520 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, well, we'll hear the term postmodernism, 1313 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 1: which even as a term it sounds kind of bizarre. 1314 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,960 Speaker 1: What what is modern and what is post I mean, 1315 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 1: you know, where do we put this in the in 1316 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: the timeline of the history of ideas? So just to 1317 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 1: give us a little sense of where does this come from? Yeah? So, 1318 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the original famous postmodernists were 1319 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:31,960 Speaker 1: French intellectuals, or Jacques Derrida, Jacques la and in there 1320 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 1: in each in their own way, they wanted to contextualize 1321 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 1: truth within some relativistic framework. Right. So Jacques Derrida argued that, 1322 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, language creates reality, and therefore this is what 1323 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:50,320 Speaker 1: he called deconstructionism. You deconstruct labels and language because that's 1324 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 1: what creates reality. There's you know, there's no reality outside 1325 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,479 Speaker 1: of the language that is used to describe reality. And 1326 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 1: so this kind of framework might be appropriate when you 1327 01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:04,519 Speaker 1: or you know, studying some literary narrative or some art movement, 1328 01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 1: but it becomes problematic when it becomes an epistemology. Right. 1329 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:13,520 Speaker 1: The scientific method is liberating and is the grand epistemological 1330 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,080 Speaker 1: tool that we use precisely because it offers us a 1331 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:20,920 Speaker 1: very unbiased way by which we adjudicate hypotheses. Right, Well, 1332 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 1: postmodernism comes along and serves as a form of intellectual terrorism. Right. 1333 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:29,120 Speaker 1: I always analogize the nine to eleven hijackers who flew 1334 01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 1: planes onto our buildings are akin to the postmodernist, except 1335 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 1: that the post postmodernists are flying planes of bs into 1336 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: our edifices of reasons. So it's complete nihilism, it's complete lunacy. 1337 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,120 Speaker 1: So that would be one example of how you can 1338 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:46,439 Speaker 1: get an idea pathogen. Do you want me to discuss 1339 01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 1: other ones. Yes, of course, take us through the idea pathogens, right, So, 1340 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 1: for example, take now militant feminism. Well, it starts off 1341 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,880 Speaker 1: as a laudable idea. Equity feminism is something that you 1342 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,000 Speaker 1: and I would certainly agree with women should not be 1343 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 1: somehow different under the law, and of course we would 1344 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 1: agree with that. The problem is that in the service 1345 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 1: of that laudable objective, militant feminism comes along and it 1346 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 1: metamorphosizes the original good idea into the following. There are 1347 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,599 Speaker 1: no innate sex differences between men and women. All sex 1348 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 1: differences must be due to the patriarchy, must be due 1349 01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 1: to toxic mosculinity, must be due to social constructivism, which 1350 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,600 Speaker 1: itself is another idea pathogen. So we engaite truth in 1351 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,800 Speaker 1: the service of a laudable goal, and I argue that 1352 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,240 Speaker 1: I could chew gum and walk at the same time, 1353 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 1: I could completely get behind the pursuit of laudable social 1354 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,840 Speaker 1: justice goals without ever seeting a millimeter of truth in 1355 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 1: that service. So what now are the other idea pathogens 1356 01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:55,760 Speaker 1: that are driving us to this cancelation frenzy. Well, so 1357 01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: the cancelation frenzy comes from several mechanisms, one of which, 1358 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,040 Speaker 1: so here I analogize. If you look at Isis, for example, 1359 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 1: most of the people that Isis killed were not non 1360 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 1: Muslims or as they say, the Kuffar, the infidels. Most 1361 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000 Speaker 1: of the people that they killed were fellow Muslims who 1362 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,960 Speaker 1: weren't muslim enough, or at least, according to them, weren't 1363 01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 1: puritanical enough in the pursuit of their faith. Well, that's 1364 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 1: what happens with progressivism. It I don't need to go 1365 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 1: after those being Trump supporters. I could turn inward at 1366 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,200 Speaker 1: my progressive club and start canceling those who are not 1367 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 1: woke enough. So it's it's a reflex that you see 1368 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 1: in all sorts of fatalitarian ideologies, where it's I call 1369 01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 1: it a form of orgiastic self cannibalism, the proverbial, you know, 1370 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 1: snake eating its own tail. So I think this is 1371 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 1: what ends up happening with the cancel culture. Right JK. 1372 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 1: Rolling the Harry Potter author. You would have thought she 1373 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:54,639 Speaker 1: had the full bonifiti credentials as a progressive. Well guess 1374 01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:58,760 Speaker 1: what once she said the horrifying statement that only you 1375 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 1: know what do you mean? Women menstruate? Isn't that what 1376 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,280 Speaker 1: we call them women. People went completely after her. So 1377 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 1: the fact that you think that you are progressive, or 1378 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 1: the fact that you think you're a Muslim won't protect 1379 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,280 Speaker 1: you from the Isis brigade or the walk brigade. Now 1380 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: we're speaking to God side. He's the author of the 1381 01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: parasitic mind. How infectious ideas are killing common sense? You know, God, 1382 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,160 Speaker 1: There's there's another another thing that I always wonder about, 1383 01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, virtue signaling and and a kind of intellectual 1384 01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 1: vanity seems to me to be the most the most 1385 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,599 Speaker 1: apparent reason for a lot of why people push this stuff. 1386 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: Because it seems to me that you can have a 1387 01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:44,280 Speaker 1: very cheap source of patting oneself on the back or 1388 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,880 Speaker 1: this is a examples of this would be doing things 1389 01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 1: like putting the black square on your Instagram right like 1390 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,200 Speaker 1: everyone says, Oh, you're a good person because you did this. 1391 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: It costs you nothing, You take no actual risk because 1392 01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: of what the trends are at the time. Is that 1393 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,880 Speaker 1: what's pushing this? Why do people want to do this? 1394 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:07,120 Speaker 1: What is the appeal? You know, parasites sneak into your system, 1395 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: often say through your food, and so that's how they 1396 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,519 Speaker 1: get there. But this is like people. It's almost like 1397 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 1: people are saying, no, give me the parasite. Why So 1398 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,839 Speaker 1: let me answer the first part about the virtue signaling. 1399 01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 1: So in my book, I have a whole section where 1400 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:28,720 Speaker 1: I contrast virtue signaling versus costly signaling, and the distinction 1401 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:33,280 Speaker 1: is actually rooted in a very profound evolutionary biological framework. 1402 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 1: So maybe I could take him an order to explain it. So, 1403 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 1: if you look at the peacock's tail, his tale couldn't 1404 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 1: have evolved through natural selection because having a big tail 1405 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 1: makes it actually less likely that you will survive. So 1406 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 1: how could evolution have led to such a big tail 1407 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,640 Speaker 1: when it reduces the animals survivability? While the answer to 1408 01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,799 Speaker 1: that is through a process of sexual selection. The PN 1409 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 1: the female is choosing this smile with the big tail 1410 01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 1: because the tail serves as an honest signal and saying, look, 1411 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 1: despite the fact that I've got this burdensome tail that 1412 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: reduces my survivability, I'm still here, So you should be 1413 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 1: picking me as your optimal mate. So for a signal 1414 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,920 Speaker 1: to be for a signal to be valuable, it must 1415 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 1: be handicapping. Therein lies the problem between virtue signaling and 1416 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:27,080 Speaker 1: costly signaling. Most people put hashtag in justrihar Charlie, which 1417 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 1: carries a zero risk. Try to speak out against the 1418 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,360 Speaker 1: Saudi government while you are a blogger in Saudi Arabia. 1419 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 1: That's a costly signal. That's exactly what rife Beta we did. 1420 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 1: He's been in prison now for six seven years in 1421 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,640 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia because he dared criticize the Saudi government. So 1422 01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,800 Speaker 1: for most people, they think that simply by engaging in 1423 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: that fatuous virtue signaling, it will get them the brownie points. 1424 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,320 Speaker 1: But someone who understands evolutionary biology knows that they are 1425 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 1: utter frauds, so it doesn't even provide them the same benefit. 1426 01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:58,920 Speaker 1: The level of benefit that they assume is that is 1427 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 1: that basically what you're telling It's like if everybody in 1428 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,360 Speaker 1: New York City puts up, you know, hashtag double mask, 1429 01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: which is something for example, that drives me completely insane. 1430 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you and I could talk, we 1431 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 1: should actually talk a little bit about the science and 1432 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 1: the notion of the science as a thing that is 1433 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,439 Speaker 1: that is true and factual and objectively measured, when they 1434 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 1: actually mean policy judgment and an often arbitrary decision making 1435 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:24,840 Speaker 1: But so if everyone writes double mask in New York City, 1436 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean, aren't they showing each other that they're good 1437 01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 1: people even if it's not particularly valuable since it costs 1438 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,960 Speaker 1: them nothing. Why not, right? I mean, even if it's 1439 01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 1: if it's just a quick dopamine hit of I'm part 1440 01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,759 Speaker 1: of the mob. Sure, you're not going to elevate yourself. 1441 01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,679 Speaker 1: But isn't being part of the crowd the whole point? 1442 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,719 Speaker 1: But as long as so what you're saying is true, 1443 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,240 Speaker 1: as long as I can create the sterile echo chamber 1444 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:55,480 Speaker 1: where every member of that echo chamber is equally duplicitous 1445 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,479 Speaker 1: and fraudulent as I am, right, But once we bring 1446 01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 1: in doctor Good Looks also known as God Sad to 1447 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,400 Speaker 1: the mix, then I'm going to smash you into oblivion 1448 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,680 Speaker 1: because I realize that you're a fraud. So this is 1449 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,960 Speaker 1: why you need to regulate people's speech. This is why 1450 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,559 Speaker 1: God Sad becomes a pariah in academia because I am 1451 01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 1: disrupting their sterile echo chambers. Why is this guy calling 1452 01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:22,960 Speaker 1: us out on our fraudulent behavior. Can't he just fall 1453 01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:27,799 Speaker 1: into line and also come up with a hashtag Charlie 1454 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,400 Speaker 1: By the way, that's one of the reasons why my mockery. 1455 01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Not only is it very effective, but it causes great 1456 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 1: concern to many of my colleagues. Some of them end 1457 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,240 Speaker 1: up on following me because there is no greater, more 1458 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 1: powerful persuasive strategy than to use satire to demonstrate that 1459 01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 1: you're a complete charlatan. We're speaking to God Sad, author 1460 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:54,040 Speaker 1: of the Parasitic Mind, how infectious ideas are killing common sense? God, 1461 01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 1: I want to take a quick moment here, a quick 1462 01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 1: beat where to come back and ask you about the 1463 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,360 Speaker 1: actious idea around the infection of COVID that people should 1464 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 1: just listen to doctor Faucier. You're up for that. I 1465 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,800 Speaker 1: am up. Let's try it all right. We're back with 1466 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,599 Speaker 1: author Godside, author of the Parasitic Mind, How infectious ideas 1467 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: are killing common sense. You can get it right now 1468 01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,240 Speaker 1: on Amazon or wherever you get your books. God, I 1469 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:18,680 Speaker 1: want to ask you about this because you know, a 1470 01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:22,639 Speaker 1: year ago you're talking about about infectious ideas, and obviously 1471 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,280 Speaker 1: we're going through a great actual viral infection right now 1472 01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 1: with this pandemic a year ago, Doctor Fauci and I 1473 01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:33,880 Speaker 1: keep using this as the basis for my argument that 1474 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,640 Speaker 1: we've been listening to this notion of the science or 1475 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 1: faucism as I call it uncritically, and that people have 1476 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,640 Speaker 1: become largely brainwashed and they act like sheep and they 1477 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,960 Speaker 1: just do whatever they're told. And this is why I've 1478 01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 1: been able to predict things months and months in advance. 1479 01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,599 Speaker 1: Like I guarantee you folks, he will start to say, oh, 1480 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,840 Speaker 1: we need double masking or oh we need an ninety 1481 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 1: five masks. I've been saying that since the summer of 1482 01:24:54,600 --> 01:25:00,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and sure enough, here we are the I 1483 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 1: am the Faucci made that the science did not support masking, 1484 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 1: and then to switch over to actually, we all need 1485 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,719 Speaker 1: to be masking because the science says So this caught 1486 01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: on like wildfire, and this caught on like the virus 1487 01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,280 Speaker 1: itself in a sense, you know, mentally with people. Why 1488 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 1: why do you think that? Because to me, it seems 1489 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,280 Speaker 1: like that's just there's a bunch of different factors you 1490 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,439 Speaker 1: can point to. But this is a perfect idea of 1491 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,559 Speaker 1: a rather a perfect example of a parasitic idea, which 1492 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: is just listen to Fauci and the state and you'll 1493 01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 1: be safe. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean there's a lot to 1494 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 1: the couple there so one thing I would say, and 1495 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: this is something that I discuss in the context of 1496 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 1: the parasitic mind, but more generally in terms of how 1497 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 1: do you seek truth? And so in chapter seven of 1498 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,519 Speaker 1: my book, I talk about something that I referred to 1499 01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 1: as nomological networks of cumulative evidence. If I want to 1500 01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,679 Speaker 1: prove to you scientifically that the position that I'm taking 1501 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,120 Speaker 1: is correct, it's actually a very very hard process. I 1502 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,720 Speaker 1: will get data from you from across cultures, from a 1503 01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:02,600 Speaker 1: cross time period, from a cross methodologies, from a cross frameworks, 1504 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,560 Speaker 1: across dependent measures, all of which, if they point in 1505 01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 1: the same direction, then results in a tsunami of evidence 1506 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: in support of my position. So when you're doing that, 1507 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 1: you also recognize the flip side, which is epistemic humility. 1508 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 1: Epistemic humility is when a scientist knows what he or 1509 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: she knows and knows what he or she doesn't know. 1510 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:30,400 Speaker 1: The problem with Fauci is he's got zero epistemic humility, right, 1511 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:35,160 Speaker 1: So in other words, he always pronounces positions that are 1512 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,240 Speaker 1: going to have gigantic downstream effects on hundreds of millions 1513 01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:42,439 Speaker 1: of people, even though on Monday he said a and 1514 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,799 Speaker 1: then Tuesday he says not a Now most people follow 1515 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 1: because you know, he's wearing the proverbial white robe. And 1516 01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:53,640 Speaker 1: so if Lord his Eminence Fauci says skip, then we 1517 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 1: all skip along. It becomes a fast and frugal heuristic 1518 01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 1: for us to organize our lives. Not unlike, by the way, 1519 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 1: how religion achieves the same thing. If my mom or 1520 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,600 Speaker 1: my rabbi or my priest says you have to do this, 1521 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't question it. I do it. Well, Now we 1522 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 1: do have a grand priest of quote science. His name 1523 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 1: is Fauci, So shut up and obey rupe. Yeah, that's 1524 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,080 Speaker 1: that's what we see happening. And it's been happening now 1525 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,800 Speaker 1: for many, many months. And I also think that that 1526 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,599 Speaker 1: one problem I wanted to broaden this out a little bit, 1527 01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 1: but but the Fauci point, I think is an example 1528 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 1: of it, and that is that people when you tell 1529 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:31,240 Speaker 1: them they have what you what you describe as a 1530 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 1: parasitic idea, I think there's a sense of of I 1531 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,479 Speaker 1: don't know vanity is the right word, but perhaps an 1532 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:42,040 Speaker 1: arrogance that turns into a delusion. Oh, I'm not caught 1533 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 1: up in an idea that doesn't make any sense, that 1534 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:48,479 Speaker 1: isn't supported I'm too smart to be fooled in that way, exactly. Look, 1535 01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:53,560 Speaker 1: the capacity for human beings to engage in self deception 1536 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,360 Speaker 1: is infinite. I'll tell you a very quick story. I 1537 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,760 Speaker 1: walk into class. I haven't done in a few years, 1538 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 1: but I used to come to class and I would 1539 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 1: ask students to pull out a paper and then write 1540 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 1: down whether they think of themselves as below below average 1541 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:13,120 Speaker 1: and intelligence, average and intelligence or above average intelligence. And 1542 01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,360 Speaker 1: I would ask them to do the same thing regarding 1543 01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:19,719 Speaker 1: their looks. Well, it turns out, Buck that my students 1544 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 1: are always supermodel Einstein's meaning what they all We tend 1545 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 1: to have an erroneous sense of ourselves right now, and 1546 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:33,680 Speaker 1: to some extent, that's a good thing. You want to 1547 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,400 Speaker 1: kind of walk around life with a chip on your 1548 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,800 Speaker 1: shoulder so that you could tackle life's challenges. But as 1549 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,400 Speaker 1: you pointed to your original question, people have this uncanny 1550 01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:46,040 Speaker 1: ability to self deceive. Oh no, no, I couldn't be 1551 01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,599 Speaker 1: engaging in faulties thinking I'm too smart for that. Therein 1552 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,640 Speaker 1: lies the problem, and that's why you need to be 1553 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:55,439 Speaker 1: reading the parasitic mind. Give us just what the case. 1554 01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,639 Speaker 1: You've got a couple of minutes here, God, the case 1555 01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:04,160 Speaker 1: for optimism about how our society can get through this. 1556 01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:05,920 Speaker 1: I won't even say will, but can get through this 1557 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:09,000 Speaker 1: because right now it feels like the bad guys are winning. 1558 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 1: It feels like the parasitic ideas have taken. Parasites like 1559 01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,559 Speaker 1: to stay on a host. They don't like to kill 1560 01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 1: the host, usually because they want to continue to feed 1561 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,120 Speaker 1: off of it. It starts to feel like the parasitic 1562 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,760 Speaker 1: ideas in our society could actually kill off a free 1563 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 1: society like America. Look, there are a couple of things 1564 01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:30,839 Speaker 1: that might sound cliche ish, but they're actually quite profound 1565 01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,320 Speaker 1: because most people are unable to meet the challenge. So 1566 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,480 Speaker 1: let me give you a couple. Number one, don't contract 1567 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:40,280 Speaker 1: your voice to others. In other words, a lot of 1568 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 1: people will say, well, I don't have your fancy professorship, 1569 01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't have your big platform to affect change. Well 1570 01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 1: I understand that, but you don't have to have a 1571 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:52,639 Speaker 1: large platform. You could still affect change within your unique 1572 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 1: sphere of influence. If your principle starts imposing in saying, 1573 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:02,599 Speaker 1: teaching lessons at your it's elementary school, intervene, write an 1574 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 1: email request to see them. If your friend says something 1575 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:10,320 Speaker 1: on Facebook on Facebook that is completely insane. Challenge them politely. 1576 01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 1: If your professor says something that you think is wrong, 1577 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,080 Speaker 1: challenge him or her politely. In other words, we all 1578 01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 1: have a voice to affect, however big or small, a 1579 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: change that we can A second thing that you can 1580 01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,280 Speaker 1: certainly do is what I call activate your inner honey badger. 1581 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,680 Speaker 1: The honey badger is an extraordinarily fierce animal. It's the 1582 01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,000 Speaker 1: size of a small dog, and yet it could withstand 1583 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: an attack of six adult lines. How does it do that? 1584 01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:38,120 Speaker 1: Because it's insane. It is so fierce that nobody will 1585 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,719 Speaker 1: approach it. Well, you need to have that same sense 1586 01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 1: of ferocity when it comes to defending your principles, if 1587 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,040 Speaker 1: they are well articulated and well reasoned. This is why 1588 01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,200 Speaker 1: you know some people ask, well, how come you're not 1589 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:53,040 Speaker 1: cancelable professors at Well, because I'm a honey badger. If 1590 01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,360 Speaker 1: you come after me, you better not miss, because I'm 1591 01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,599 Speaker 1: coming back after you ten times harder. And so there 1592 01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:02,560 Speaker 1: are reflexes that we can foster in us, so that 1593 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:07,280 Speaker 1: if in unison we all stand up together by next Tuesday, 1594 01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,439 Speaker 1: we'll destroy all the parasitic ideas. If not, it'll be 1595 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 1: a long long train ride to help the parasitic mind. 1596 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:17,719 Speaker 1: How infectious ideas are killing common sense? Our friend, God sad. 1597 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,400 Speaker 1: God appreciate it. Man, thanks so much for joining us, 1598 01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: and everyone should check out the book. Thank you, buddy. 1599 01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 1: Great talking to your cheers. The show ain't over yet, folks. 1600 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:37,160 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call producer Mark, you ready for 1601 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 1: the weekend? My friend? What did it tell? Tell everybody? 1602 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 1: What's on the producer? Mark? Uh? You know, list of 1603 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:46,599 Speaker 1: awesome things that he wants to do. I'm gonna celebrate 1604 01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,840 Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish at all, but it's 1605 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,960 Speaker 1: an excuse to be with my friends and drink. Isn't that? 1606 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 1: Is it this weekend? I think it's like Wednesday? Yeah, 1607 01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,840 Speaker 1: it's like the seventeenth I think, isn't it? Yeah? It 1608 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,720 Speaker 1: doesn't matter when you sell them, right, It's just an 1609 01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 1: excuse to celebrate. But what is this now? So you 1610 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,719 Speaker 1: guys are gonna stand, you know, twenty feet apart outside 1611 01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,800 Speaker 1: drinking green beer. How are you gonna? How are you 1612 01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 1: gonna celebrate? But that it depends on who's asking. Well, 1613 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,040 Speaker 1: I got you okay enough? I like I like where 1614 01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:17,160 Speaker 1: your heads out on that one? So that's nice. You're 1615 01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 1: gonna be outdoors, you're gonna be indoors. What's the plan? 1616 01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:20,720 Speaker 1: I guess it depends on the weather. I don't I 1617 01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:22,840 Speaker 1: don't know what the weather is like in uh, in 1618 01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 1: this neck of the woods this weekend. But it's been 1619 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,960 Speaker 1: nice out, so maybe we will go outside. Fair enough? 1620 01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:32,559 Speaker 1: Fair enough? All right, missus Mark, have any fun plans? Well, 1621 01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 1: usually she's with me. I'm just making I don't know. 1622 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:37,360 Speaker 1: Maybe she let's see, it's like the guys do the 1623 01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:39,519 Speaker 1: same Patrick's Day thing. I don't know, just it was 1624 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 1: just an idea. One of my friends had an excuse 1625 01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 1: to hang out. Yeah are you a beer drinker? Um? Yeah, 1626 01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:48,559 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's my number one, but yeah, 1627 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:52,200 Speaker 1: absolutely do you have like what is what is the 1628 01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 1: beer when you walk into a bar that you order? Um? Well, 1629 01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,720 Speaker 1: usually bars will have fairly common beers. So like maybe 1630 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,920 Speaker 1: a blue moon? Like, well that's what I mean? Yeah, 1631 01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: oh you're a blue Are you a blue moon with 1632 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,599 Speaker 1: an orange slice? Guy? Look at you? Look at bougie Mark. Everybody. 1633 01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,960 Speaker 1: I had a feeling. We know there's we know there's 1634 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:15,120 Speaker 1: lots of it's very blue moon with an orange slice? 1635 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,719 Speaker 1: Producer Mark You're talking to a lot of people across 1636 01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,880 Speaker 1: the country who drink bud Light, damn it, and there 1637 01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 1: they love it. I have no problem. I like bud Light, 1638 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,519 Speaker 1: but you know, if I'm drinking a beer to enjoy myself, 1639 01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:29,679 Speaker 1: I prefer not even just blue Moon, like that type 1640 01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 1: of beer. I don't even know what it's called. I 1641 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 1: see you drink it, some delirium tremens, you know that, 1642 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: like fancy Belgian beer that people have. I do like 1643 01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,879 Speaker 1: the Belgian German style beer. Oh yeah, that stuff is delicious. 1644 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,760 Speaker 1: I used to drink beer, so I know about these things. 1645 01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,639 Speaker 1: Now I can't drink it. Don't they have good gluten 1646 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 1: free beers now? Nah? Not really. They've got good cider 1647 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,360 Speaker 1: because it's made from fruit and not from grain. But 1648 01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 1: the problem with like, you'll drink a big thing aside, 1649 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:56,200 Speaker 1: it's like double the sugar that you'll even get in 1650 01:33:56,280 --> 01:34:00,479 Speaker 1: a Coca Cola. It's terrible for you. Ciders delicious, but 1651 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:05,679 Speaker 1: the seltzers are all very good. Wow, it's producer Mark. 1652 01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:08,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate this. Producer Mark is so confident in his 1653 01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 1: producer markness that he is letting all of America know 1654 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:14,320 Speaker 1: right now that he drinks white Claw, and he's not 1655 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,519 Speaker 1: ashamed of it. It is there's no better summer drink 1656 01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,200 Speaker 1: than a white claw or a bud Light Seltzer. Even 1657 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,040 Speaker 1: they've come out with bud Light lemonades, which I'm very 1658 01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,479 Speaker 1: interested in. John. I'm just telling you, I there's like 1659 01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:29,120 Speaker 1: ten percent right now of our listeners across the country 1660 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:31,479 Speaker 1: are not in their heads up and down. Producer Mark 1661 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,600 Speaker 1: knows it's delicious, and I'd say, you know, it is 1662 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:35,639 Speaker 1: somewhere in the eighty to nine percent range. I're gonna 1663 01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,000 Speaker 1: produce their their side to side. Very upset that producer 1664 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:42,360 Speaker 1: marts you think, Yeah, you know, you might be a 1665 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 1: little cobkey, a little bit worried. There are a lot 1666 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,360 Speaker 1: of people who love the white Claws and the Seltzers 1667 01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,920 Speaker 1: that won't admit it. So here's my here's my theory. 1668 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:54,559 Speaker 1: White claw is to drinks what creed is to music taste. 1669 01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 1: Everybody says they hate it, but when no one's looking 1670 01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,760 Speaker 1: behind closed doors, people are popping their white claws and 1671 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,320 Speaker 1: listening to their creed. You know that's what's happened. I'm 1672 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:06,519 Speaker 1: pretty sure you've said on this show before that you 1673 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 1: have tried it and enjoyed it. I mean, I can 1674 01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:13,040 Speaker 1: neither confirm nor to note this is your Creed neither 1675 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,599 Speaker 1: oh Man, and I always tell I'm like, I like Creed. 1676 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,519 Speaker 1: I actually I do think Nickelback is just not that great. 1677 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,479 Speaker 1: It's not because everyone trash is Nickelback, but like Creed 1678 01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,679 Speaker 1: is the original Nickelback, and Creed is way better than Nickelback, 1679 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,639 Speaker 1: which everybody should know. So I know, like three songs 1680 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:30,920 Speaker 1: from both bands. That's about. Yeah, I've been I've been 1681 01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:33,240 Speaker 1: on a on a nineties rock kick recently. When I'm 1682 01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,479 Speaker 1: trying to go to the gym, which the gym is 1683 01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:38,519 Speaker 1: working out fine, it's the stop eating so damn much 1684 01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,560 Speaker 1: part of it. That is, that is the challenge that 1685 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,400 Speaker 1: I find. Like I'm getting stronger, like I'm lifting more 1686 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:45,679 Speaker 1: weight and stuff like that, which is nice, that's encouraging, 1687 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:49,280 Speaker 1: but to really get the uh the more esthetic effect, 1688 01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, I have to stop eating cookie dough in 1689 01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:57,080 Speaker 1: between meals and put down chocolate bars and you know 1690 01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,720 Speaker 1: what it's like, what's the fun in that, though, Producer Mark, 1691 01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:01,599 Speaker 1: what's the funny? It's all one step at a time. 1692 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 1: First you get in the exercise routine and then you 1693 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,360 Speaker 1: work work on eating better. Yeah, that's one step at 1694 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 1: a time. True, very true. All right, let's get to um. 1695 01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,080 Speaker 1: Let's get to a JR. Who's kicking us off here 1696 01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 1: with roll call bucking Mark King Edward and Brave Heart lamented. 1697 01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,439 Speaker 1: The problem of Scotland is there are too many Scots. 1698 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 1: Will breathe them out, the Democrats lament. The problem with 1699 01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:28,799 Speaker 1: the republic is there are too many Republicans. Let's cancel 1700 01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:32,880 Speaker 1: them out. Yeah, I think that j Your point here 1701 01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,120 Speaker 1: is that Democrats don't want Republicans to actually be around. 1702 01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:38,080 Speaker 1: I think, unfortunately that's kind of true. It's pretty sad. Really, 1703 01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 1: Oh wait, you got more. The deeper insidious goal of 1704 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 1: the left is globalism. Hence climate change must be a 1705 01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:48,320 Speaker 1: global effort. A global effort demands that there are no borders, 1706 01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:52,439 Speaker 1: a centralized world government must rule. Exceptionalism is to be 1707 01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:56,120 Speaker 1: utterly obliterated. The Mighty must be brought down, and we 1708 01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,840 Speaker 1: will all live as one. From my own personal experiences, 1709 01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:01,880 Speaker 1: how has been percolating since the sixties and in other 1710 01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,560 Speaker 1: parts of the world prior to that, either intentionally or 1711 01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:07,680 Speaker 1: by happenstance. The Democrats are setting a course that was 1712 01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:10,639 Speaker 1: supposed to continue after Obama. Through Hillary and to whoever 1713 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,000 Speaker 1: was next, it would have been irreversible but for the 1714 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,840 Speaker 1: damage by Trump. It's easy to understand their contempt if 1715 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:19,400 Speaker 1: you see it from this viewpoint, Shield's high didn't save Rome, 1716 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 1: or even Shield's hide didn't save Rome Jr. That was 1717 01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,400 Speaker 1: kind of a bummer. Jared's kind of bumming me out. Man. Yeah, 1718 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,040 Speaker 1: I guess technically Rome did fall. You know, I think 1719 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:33,920 Speaker 1: America's got a little more time in it before we 1720 01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:38,599 Speaker 1: dissolve into something else. But no nation state lasts forever. 1721 01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 1: Friends and Democrats are trying really hard. They're kicking at 1722 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,720 Speaker 1: the load bearing walls of our republic and they think 1723 01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:46,320 Speaker 1: it's hilarious. Think I think it's great. They're they're drunk 1724 01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:49,400 Speaker 1: with power these days. But at least we got each other. Team, 1725 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,640 Speaker 1: we got each other. Oh you know, producer Mark, a 1726 01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,400 Speaker 1: family member brought up last night that she has as 1727 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 1: my mom that she's like, where are your team buck 1728 01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:00,320 Speaker 1: T shirts? And I agree, shouldn't we do this? Wouldn't 1729 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,400 Speaker 1: we get T shirts? We have a great website bucksexen 1730 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: dot com, so shouldn't we get to T shirt set up? 1731 01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 1: What do you think we should get a whole merch 1732 01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:10,760 Speaker 1: store set up? Yeah, I gotta I gotta get that guy. 1733 01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:12,160 Speaker 1: I know we brought it up before, but now we 1734 01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:13,720 Speaker 1: at least bucksex and dot com. You can listen to 1735 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,840 Speaker 1: the podcast there. We do post stories, I post editorials there. 1736 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,280 Speaker 1: So that's all going well. But I would love to 1737 01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:21,920 Speaker 1: get some merch we could create. Do we want to 1738 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,240 Speaker 1: create a producer Mark penalty box T shirt? You know 1739 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,479 Speaker 1: where you're just like we we get you in like 1740 01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,880 Speaker 1: one of those REFS shirts and you're like waving your 1741 01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 1: finger back and forth or something, and you know we'll 1742 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,639 Speaker 1: come up with some we have. There's smarter graphic designers 1743 01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:37,720 Speaker 1: out there than us. We should do it though, or 1744 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:39,760 Speaker 1: rather we should have it done, you know. That's what 1745 01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm at the rate we usually do stuff coming soon 1746 01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 1: by twenty twenty three. Yeah, it's happened, But I like 1747 01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 1: to put I'm an ideas guy. You know, we're ideas 1748 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,360 Speaker 1: guys here on the Freedom Hunt. We have plenty of ideas. 1749 01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:53,920 Speaker 1: It's just the execution part, that's true. Matthew Buck.

Dave writes, Hey, Buck, I'm seeing 1776 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,639 Speaker 1: on Facebook my friends posts going to good county schools. 1777 01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:08,120 Speaker 1: It looks like the rules are so unreasonable that they 1778 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:12,640 Speaker 1: want their kids to stay virtual. I'm surprised they're not surprised. 1779 01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:16,000 Speaker 1: The administrators are making them possible for these kids to 1780 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 1: go back to what they expect to be normal. The 1781 01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,479 Speaker 1: progressive mentality is spread from the city to the counties. 1782 01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:23,800 Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, Bucking producer Mark. Yeah, Dave, 1783 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:26,960 Speaker 1: you know there are a lot of counties where there's 1784 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:28,920 Speaker 1: a lot of blue going on, even if you're not 1785 01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:31,439 Speaker 1: in a city. And that means that there is this 1786 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 1: mentality that we got to do the faucism. And I'll 1787 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 1: just say this that, look, we got to remember that 1788 01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:46,320 Speaker 1: these schools being open, that's a very broad term, right 1789 01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:48,439 Speaker 1: when they say open, I mean Biden gives this whole 1790 01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 1: thing about we're it over one hundred Robert Blood schools, 1791 01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:56,000 Speaker 1: one hundred days. That does it mean one day a week? 1792 01:40:57,160 --> 01:40:59,720 Speaker 1: Does it mean four hours a day? Does it mean 1793 01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:06,920 Speaker 1: shifts rotations of students in the classroom? Uh? You know 1794 01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:09,600 Speaker 1: that that they some days, some kids come in, other 1795 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,680 Speaker 1: days other kids come in. I mean, the reality is 1796 01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:16,439 Speaker 1: that schools should just be open, Okay. The reality is 1797 01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:19,960 Speaker 1: that schools should be open across the country everywhere fully. 1798 01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:25,760 Speaker 1: And it was fascinating that at the Dalton School here 1799 01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:27,320 Speaker 1: in New York City, which is one of the most 1800 01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,320 Speaker 1: elite and expensive schools in New York City and in 1801 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:33,640 Speaker 1: the country, there was there was an article written in 1802 01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:36,080 Speaker 1: The Atlantic about how the parents there was a kind 1803 01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:38,840 Speaker 1: of revolt among the parents at Dalton because a lot 1804 01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,200 Speaker 1: of other fancy private schools in New York and for 1805 01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:44,920 Speaker 1: those you're wondering how fancy or how expensive these schools 1806 01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,920 Speaker 1: are if you had a fifth grader, Let's say, if 1807 01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:49,880 Speaker 1: you had a fifth grader who was going to Dalton, 1808 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:55,360 Speaker 1: you'd be paying about intuition sixty thousand dollars a year. 1809 01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:00,679 Speaker 1: That's right for the fifth grade, for the first college. Yeah, 1810 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:06,040 Speaker 1: fifty sixty fifty to sixty thousand dollars a year. Yeah. 1811 01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:08,599 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of schools like that in New 1812 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,519 Speaker 1: York City. I went to a private school called Regis, 1813 01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,759 Speaker 1: which is a Jesuit school, where the tuition was twenty 1814 01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:17,680 Speaker 1: dollars a year. I'm not kidding. That was for the 1815 01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:21,840 Speaker 1: laboratory fees and admin fees. Twenty dollars a year was 1816 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:24,160 Speaker 1: what my school costs producer Mark, I think I think 1817 01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:28,400 Speaker 1: mine was a better a better deal, better bargain slightly. Wow. Yeah, yeah, 1818 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,840 Speaker 1: So this the sixty thousand dollars a year schools though, 1819 01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:36,519 Speaker 1: which were not as the kids were not as smart 1820 01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,080 Speaker 1: as my school. I'm just saying. But anyway, because I 1821 01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 1: got I got into all those sixty thousand dollars a 1822 01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,479 Speaker 1: year schools, I didn't go to them. And I know, 1823 01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,280 Speaker 1: I know that's not even a humble brag. I'm just 1824 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 1: being I'm just being that guy right now. But the 1825 01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:51,519 Speaker 1: point is that one of the schools wasn't open, and 1826 01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:57,360 Speaker 1: that school then had parents, particularly had parents who were doctors. 1827 01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:00,280 Speaker 1: You know, parents have children there who are doctors. They're 1828 01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:02,920 Speaker 1: like twenty of them, and they they wrote in they're saying, 1829 01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:07,080 Speaker 1: where is why aren't schools open? So when it affected them, 1830 01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 1: I guarantee you these parents are almost all liberals and 1831 01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 1: Biden voters because Dalphin's are very liberal school But when 1832 01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:15,360 Speaker 1: their kids aren't able to go to school and they're 1833 01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:19,360 Speaker 1: paying for it, their attitude is we're scientists. We're doctors too. 1834 01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,120 Speaker 1: Why can't our kids other schools are open? Why can't 1835 01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:25,719 Speaker 1: our schools be open? This is the classic democrat mentality. 1836 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,479 Speaker 1: They know what the herd is supposed to do with 1837 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,360 Speaker 1: the democrat herd supposed to do. They know what they're 1838 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,880 Speaker 1: supposed to believe, and they don't want to challenge it. 1839 01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:39,120 Speaker 1: So what they do instead is they just go along 1840 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:41,719 Speaker 1: as long as their kids are fine. They go along 1841 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,560 Speaker 1: with what's the consensus because they don't want to be, 1842 01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, pushed out of the circle of the elites. 1843 01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:50,960 Speaker 1: So that that just but it was it was amazing 1844 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:54,000 Speaker 1: to see how you had doctor. I haven't seen that, 1845 01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, any other in any other setting where you 1846 01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 1: had a couple of dozen doctors who are parents all 1847 01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,760 Speaker 1: come together and say what the heck is going on 1848 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,000 Speaker 1: in general with schools, but no their children. They're paying 1849 01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:08,280 Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars a year and their kids were doing 1850 01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 1: virtual learning, and they're saying the science doesn't actually support this. Well, 1851 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,400 Speaker 1: if it doesn't support it for kids whose parents are rich, 1852 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it supports it for anyone's kids. Does it? Exactly? 1853 01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:22,519 Speaker 1: Check me? All our more role call to kick us 1854 01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:25,280 Speaker 1: off for the weekend, Nick Buck, what would the money 1855 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:29,120 Speaker 1: compared to population be? I'm here in Denver, where over 1856 01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,080 Speaker 1: the last ten years the progressives have come in and 1857 01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,120 Speaker 1: ruined the state. But if you were to compare populations 1858 01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:37,040 Speaker 1: the amount given in this ridiculous package, would things look 1859 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:42,840 Speaker 1: would things look correct? Let me see, I don't really 1860 01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:45,000 Speaker 1: understand if you were to compare population the amount giving 1861 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:48,400 Speaker 1: this ridiculous package. Nick, I'm sorry, man, I don't really understand. 1862 01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:52,200 Speaker 1: Please write back in with what you mean comparing money 1863 01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:55,000 Speaker 1: to population. I don't really get it. I don't really 1864 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm a producer, Mark, do you see what the question is? 1865 01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm confused. I kind of understand, but I'm not really 1866 01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,160 Speaker 1: clear what he's asking me. The last ten years progressive 1867 01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,120 Speaker 1: has come and ruined the state. But if you were 1868 01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:09,360 Speaker 1: to compare population to the amount given in this ridiculous package. Oh, 1869 01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 1: I think he must be talking about like how much 1870 01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:17,280 Speaker 1: New York got versus how much Oklahoma got? Oh? Yeah, no, okay, 1871 01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:19,040 Speaker 1: fair enough? Yeah, Nick, I don't I don't know. I 1872 01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:22,519 Speaker 1: haven't looked at that at that breakdown, and and I'm 1873 01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:25,479 Speaker 1: sure that that's you know, if it looks bad for Democrats, 1874 01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:27,080 Speaker 1: you'll have to look very hard to find it, but 1875 01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:29,760 Speaker 1: I will see if I can find it.

In the last year, 1880 01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,200 Speaker 1: in particularly the last four months, I've given up on 1881 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,519 Speaker 1: most news and commentary, I feel that if I'm not 1882 01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:52,160 Speaker 1: being outright lied to, I'm being agitated and depressed intentionally 1883 01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,679 Speaker 1: because someone somewhere has calculated that's beneficial to their ratings. 1884 01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:59,400 Speaker 1: But I trust you, Buck Sexton Shields High Well, Jamie, 1885 01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:01,280 Speaker 1: thank you so much much.

Alex, Hey, 1920 01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:38,479 Speaker 1: Buck and Mark, I know you often say Trump didn't 1921 01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:41,479 Speaker 1: get many sustainable things Dunder's first four years. He did 1922 01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,880 Speaker 1: sign a bunch of eos. That's not the same as legislation. 1923 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,960 Speaker 1: I agree any EO that he did sign has now 1924 01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:50,120 Speaker 1: been undone by the druler in chief. The issue is 1925 01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:51,680 Speaker 1: with the way you frame it. I believe that during 1926 01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,080 Speaker 1: Trump's first two years, when Republicans had both the Health 1927 01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:57,120 Speaker 1: and the Senate, half of the idiots actually believed the GOP, 1928 01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,920 Speaker 1: actually believed Trump colluded with Russia and didn't support his agenda. 1929 01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:02,360 Speaker 1: I just think he was hamstrung from the get go. 1930 01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:05,000 Speaker 1: What do you think? Love the show and Express VPN 1931 01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,840 Speaker 1: and Black Rifle coffee and my pillow stay in the 1932 01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:11,160 Speaker 1: fight shield, Hie.
