WEBVTT - How The Left's Parasitic Ideas Ruin Minds

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram,

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and Twitter. I've been telling you for a while that

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 1>they weren't going to release us from their grip. They

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to let us get out from underneath their thumb.

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:21.479
<v Speaker 1>The authoritarian democrats, so brainwashed, so in love with the

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>sound of their own voices and the ability to tell

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>you what to do, that it wasn't just going to

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>be a function of the case load for COVID going down,

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that we couldn't just say, hold on a second, look

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>at mask mandate states and unmasked mandate states or states

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that didn't require it, and see the data and come

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to the obvious conclusion about what worked and what didn't work,

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>come to the very clear consensus that so many of

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>these so called interventions and mitigation measures barely worked, if

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>at all, and created enormous costs. That they would look

0:00:58.240 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>at the data on schools, they would look at what

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>happened to small businesses, and realize that this was a mania,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.199
<v Speaker 1>a lunacy that they were all on board with because

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it meant they could be Trump. But now we have

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to actually suffer through the consequences as a country. Now

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that Daylight is emerging in America from this pandemic. We

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>see the full scale and scope of the damage. They're

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.919
<v Speaker 1>not going to relent, But the big social media companies

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>aren't going to relent either, and they are constantly tracking you.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a really big problem. You can't trust these

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>companies anymore. I don't trust them. I don't want them

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>tracking me. I don't want them being able to know

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>everywhere that I've gone because they keep that information, they

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>run it through algorithms, and it could be used against

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 1>you down the line. Who knows. There's a lot going

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>on right now in the world of tech that should

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>put you on edge, and so you need to use

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>tech to your advantage where possible, to protect your privacy,

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to protect your online viewing habits. That's why I've got

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Express VPN. This is the most trusted, the best name

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>in a virtual private network you can possibly get. Express

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>VPN make sure that when you search for something online,

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>when you watch or click a link, it isn't getting

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>tracked the same way by big tech companies. When I

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>use Express VPN, companies can't actually see my IP address

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>at all. My identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server.

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>My data is also encrypted for maximum protection. Don't let

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>these companies get rich off of violating your privacy and

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>also perhaps using what you do against you down the line.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You know you have the wrong thoughts about fauci. If

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like me, you're already targeted by Facebook, You're already

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>targeted by Google. Make it harder for them. Use technology

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to your advantage. That's Express vpn. This is a must.

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.560

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a speech addresses the nation, and my Lord, was it depressing.

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this was the speech in tone, in tenor

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>that you could have expected perhaps twelve months ago from

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a president. But even then I think it would have

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>been tone deaf. This is exactly what the Democrats have become.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Listen to us or else, don't look at the data,

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>don't look at your own experience of what's happened in

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>this country. Do what we tell you, or terrible things

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>will happen to you. For a lot of us will

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>look at this and say, hold on a second. We

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>have over five hundred and twenty five thousand dead in

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>America right now from COVID nineteen over the last twelve months.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Who thinks that this was well handled? Who thinks that

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>our mitigation measures as Fouchi says, we're a success? Oh,

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>because we're the country that doesn't listen well. As you know,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>on a per capita basis, the UK, which had more

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>extreme restrictions, had a higher death count than we did.

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's not just America, it's not just Trump supporters.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>They can live in this fantasy land as much as

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>they want. They failed, The lockdowners failed. We have the data,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>we have the information. There is no honest, good faith

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 1>argument anymore about their success. The only question is how catastrophic,

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>how painful was their wrongness for all of us. I mean,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I honestly wanted to scream profanity at the TV when

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching Joe Biden. Tell me and tell everybody else

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>across the country that if you if you do everything

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I say, you know, maybe you could actually have a

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>barbecue with your family members next him. People are barbecuing

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, Joe. All across the country. People are indoor dining,

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.679
<v Speaker 1>People are living their lives as much as they possibly can.

0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Despite the lunatic libs running around saying triple mask, where's

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>your triple mask? Why don't you take it seriously? They're

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>all so frightened because of the panic porn that has

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>been out there. They say things like we denied, like

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration denied the virus. Virus deniers. That's a

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>stupid slander that only morons could say out loud. Trump

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 1>shut down international travel twelve months ago, block flights from China,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>but then also block flights from all over the world.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>We shut down travel, We had lockdowns. Trump extended the

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>lockdown request. I mean, I know it was in the

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>hands of the States, but he said, this is what

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>we should do. There's no virus denial. The only difference

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>here is people who think that if you get constantly hectored,

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>if you're being nagged incessantly by a bunch of powermad

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>hall monitors from the CDC and from the corporate media

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>about washing your hands and social distancing. If only you

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>get nagged enough, we're gonna save lives. Didn't work. Didn't work.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>They can keep pretending like they're great heroes and all

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the stuff. But the virus ripped through the country. We

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>have tens of millions of confirmed infections, more infections that

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 1>we can actually count right now, we don't even know.

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>They say forty percent of cases are asymptomatic. Let me

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>ask you this, do you think that forty percent of

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>asymptomatic cases have actually been caught? So? Do you think

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>we've even gotten to close to half of the number

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>of asymptomatic cases that are of course not? Whatever happened

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to psurology testing we used to do that? Why did

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>we stop? Ask yourself these questions. All the people that

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>come at me that are so angry, it's really because

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>they're both afraid and they're vain. They think they're smarter

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>than they are. They think they've really thought this through.

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 1>I remember when we were being told that test and

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>trace was necessary to reopen at all in New York.

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>It was actually considered a requirement. We can't open, We

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>can't open restaurants, we can't open up businesses until we

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>get to a certain test and trace level. Well, that

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>was idiocy because we were never going to actually get

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to that level of test and trace because you can't

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>actually chase down every contact and every positive case at

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>any given time in any populations down of the country.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't work. We've never been able to do it.

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>But they thought that that was necessary. That was last June.

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about one hundred years ago. That was

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. Whatever happened in sourology testing in New

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>York City. Surology testing showed last June, twenty percent of

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the city had already been infected. Oh, we were masking

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, masking everywhere. We had shut down businesses, we

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>had all kinds of procedures in place. Twenty percent of

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the city got infected with this virus. How many do

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you think have been infected by now? Just take that

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>as an example. We had the most cases, the most deaths,

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.679
<v Speaker 1>the worst outbreak of the virus yet over this winter.

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>So you have to assume another twenty to thirty percent

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of people were infected in New York over the wintertime.

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's just common sense, and so when we're

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>getting to forty fifty percent of people that have already

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>been that have already had the virus, and we've now

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>added into that large numbers who have been vaccinated, So

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>we're getting pretty close to the end of this thing

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>for real. Does it sound like that though? When you

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>hear Joe Budden, why are they doing prology testing? Because

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>people would realize this notion that we have to get

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole country vaccinated is crazy. We've had tens of

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.959
<v Speaker 1>millions of people that have immunity to the virus from

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.319
<v Speaker 1>having had it already. Are they supposed to get vaccinated too?

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>We're supposed to pretend that what we know about over

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>a hundred years of medicine and vaccination that it doesn't

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>count anymore. Notice you don't even see why don't they

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>do any psyology testing? Why is it never publicized? Why

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't you seen a story on it where they draw

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>blood and they look to see what the antibody levels.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Aren't a population they check for previous infection? Ask yourself

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>these questions. They don't have good answers. They just get

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>mad at you. They say, listen to the science, obey fouch,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>you listen to the science. That's all you'll ever hear

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 1>from them. And what Joe Biden was saying last night,

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean it honestly, it enrages me. It enrages me.

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.439
<v Speaker 1>I get angry about this now because these people are tyrants.

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>They're not living in reality. They're pretending that they're also

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 1>rooted in the data, they're also smart. It's laughable now,

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>except it's deadly serious. But it's laughable that they still

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>cling to the belief that they knew what to do

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>all along, that they had the answers that Joe Biden

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and his team. You know, he walks out there, he

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>struts out to the podium. He's wearing his mask for

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the walk up of the podium, and then he takes

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it off. Yeah, that's really that's great, really keeping people

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.839
<v Speaker 1>in the empty hallway safe until you walk up to

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the podium. And now you're so, what exactly was the

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.319
<v Speaker 1>mask wearing? It was all for show. It's virtue signaling,

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it's vanity from people like Biden. The guy's already vaccinated,

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you're still wearing masks after vaccination. I want you to

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>remember something. It would have been considered lunacy a year

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>ago to suggest that vaccinated people with a ninety five

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>percent protection rate vaccinated people depending on I know, if

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's the modern or the fiser vaccines would still have

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>to go through all these restrictions. Afterwards, people would have said, well,

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy, that's where we are. Don't let them gaslight you.

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Don't let them pretend that what you know to be

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>true is not true. I don't let them get away

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>with stuff like this. I mean, this was where it

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 1>really reached a peak of mania. Joe Biden talking about

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>what's in your future if you do every thing that

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 1>you're told play one. I need you. I need every

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>American to do their part. And that's not hyperboleate, I

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>need you. I need you to get vaccinated when it's

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>your turn and when you can find an opportunity, and

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to help your family, your friends, your neighbors get vaccinated

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. Because here's the point. If we do all this,

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>if we do our part, if we do this together,

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>by July the fourth, there's a good chance you, your

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>families and friends will be able to get together in

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.079
<v Speaker 1>and a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day. That doesn't mean

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>large events with lots of people together. But it does

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>mean small groups will be able to get together after

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>this long, hard year. That will make this independence day

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>something truly special where we not only mark our independence

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>as a nation, when we begin to mark our independence

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>from this virus. But to get there, we can't let

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>our guard down. This fight is far from order from over.

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>As I told the woman in Pennsvania, I'll tell you

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.599
<v Speaker 1>the truth. On July fourth, with your loved ones is

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a goal. But a goals, a lot can happen. I've

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>been seeing my loved ones for twelve months now. We've

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>taken certain prescription, you know, taking certain precautions at different times,

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>especially in the earlier days when we didn't know more

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>about the virus. I'm sure that ninety percent, nine nine

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 1>percent maybe of those of you listening right now across

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the country have also not not seeing your loved ones.

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like Fauci and Biden don't actually live in America.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>They just go from a hermetically sealed box to the

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>green room, or you know, to the satellite hit they

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>do on CNN or MSNBC, and then they go back

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to the hermetically sealed box. They've got to be kidding me.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you really think anyone's going to be listening to

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>them as the case load has already dropped, not because

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>of masks, not because we've done anything, all right, that's

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>just ridiculous now to hold this position. Oh, we fought

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>so well against the virus. No, the winder time is ending.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>The flu season, which is now the COVID season has dissipated,

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>because that's what happened last year too. We've all seen this,

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 1>all right, We've all seen the curves go up and

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>come down. It hasn't changed. We know what's going on here.

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Listen to me, and maybe you can be with your

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>loved ones. By July. I just want to tell Joe Biden.

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he we're at a point now we just

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>have to say Biden really just needs to go fauci himself.

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's not like you have a choice in the matter.

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>That's clear from the Biden's speech last night. It's not

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>like you're allowed to say, you know what, I just

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>want to live my life. No. They want to continue

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to meddle and control and poke and prod and be

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>in charge. I don't want to give that up. I

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>much prefer this power. They've got other things they have

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to use this for. They're not done with you. You

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 1>don't have a say in this America. Joe Biden and

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the scientists think about this. They used the term the

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>scientists on ironically. I mean they're being serious, as if

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>there's some group called the scientists that determine what policy

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>is and there's no debate, there's no judgment calling it whatsoever. Meanwhile,

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>doctor Fauci now has to admit, yeah, we don't actually

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>have the science on this, but we'll make in judgment calls.

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 1>But Biden goes up and gives a speech about the scientists.

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>All say, really, what about the thousands of scientists that

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>signed the Great Barrington Declaration that said that we should

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>just do focused protection, that all of this is essentially

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>kabuki theater. That's right, virus kabuki theater. Thousands of scientists

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>they sign their name to it, from places like you know,

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Harvard Medical School and Cambridge University and places that actually

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>usually get a lot of credibility on the left. Ignored, ignored, Wow,

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>people in charge really think that they must be so smart? Huh?

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe there's something else going on here, Maybe there's

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a deep insecurity at the fact that they pushed us

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>into this madness and we were all now suffering the

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>consequences that they didn't actually save us, they didn't protect us,

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and they made things worse. I would argue that the

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>lockdowners and the Fauciites made everything worse and by taking

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>this out of the hands of individuals to take their

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>own precautions and making the using the force of government,

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>because that is what they did, use the force of

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>government for universal quarantine measures, which were understood in the

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>medical community to be unthinkable and counterproductive for about a

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred years until twenty twenty. To use the force of

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>government to make us all for a mass quarantine of

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the healthy for months on end, was known to be

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 1>insane until what feels like about five minutes ago. And

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>if you have any problem with that, you're the bad person.

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>You're the wrong person. And they don't care that you

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 1>can now point to the data, you can point to

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>mask mandates. They don't even deal with the facts. The

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>CDC says, within the margin of error, mask mandates bring

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>down case and within the margin of error, was that

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>really what we were led to believe they had The

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>CDC directors say masks were more effective than the vaccine.

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>That is, you know, he said it. That is a

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, roughly speaking, a quote, but that's what he said.

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would even go so far as to

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>say that this mask is more guaranteed to protect me

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that a vaccine. That was I think exactly what he said.

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>That was. Director Redfield of the CDC think guys are moron.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>These people are idiots. You think a mask is you nine?

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you think if we were all wearing masks and

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that create a ninety five percent protection whenever you're wearing

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the mask. In fact, there's a very strong case to

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>be made. And they don't want to hear this, but

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it's true that people were actually more willing to be

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>around other people and expose themselves to the virus because

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>they figured, well, I'm wearing a mask, I'm taking precautions. Okay,

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you're taking precautions until you pull the mask down for

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a moment, you know, because it's a little long comfortable,

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to scratch something, and you know there's virus

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 1>flowing in the air, goes into your nostrils, goes into

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>your mouth. Now you're infected. You put your mask bask

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 1>back up. Though, and oh I'm really protected. I'm really

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>protecting myself. I mean, go look at the numbers of

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>frontline healthcare workers. I know they're exposed to more the virus,

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.360
<v Speaker 1>but you know that it's not ninety five percent effective

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to be wearing a cloth mask, even in a clinical setting,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.200
<v Speaker 1>because hundreds of thousands of doctors and nurses got infected.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>They're wearing ppe. You just all you have to do

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.479
<v Speaker 1>is think this through, and all these arguments they make

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>just falls apart. Now they pretend, well, it's worth it

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>for one percent. Really, the dehumanizing, uncomfortable effect of mass

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>mask policy and what that does to our psychology as

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>a nation and to us as people, is worth it,

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 1>even though I'm telling you that there Fauci himself said

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that there were dangers from mask in the early days.

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>There were people the head of infectious disease at the

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.680
<v Speaker 1>government level, and Weedon was saying, people are going to

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>think that they're safer because they wear a mask, and

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they're actually going to expose themselves more So we shouldn't

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>convince people there was all this has all been forgotten.

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Now listen to them or else. Biden says, here he

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is on you better be vigilant, which means do whatever

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I say or else play too and getting back to normal.

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:22.159
<v Speaker 1>It depends on national unity. And national unity isn't just

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>how politics and politicians vote in Washington, what the loudest

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>voice is saying cable or online. Unity is what we

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 1>do together as fellow Americans, because if we don't stay vigilant,

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>and the conditions change and we may have to reinstate

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>restrictions to get back on track, and please, we don't

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>want to do that again. We've made so much progress.

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>This is not the time to let up. Just as

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>we were emerging from a dark winner into a hopeful

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 1>spring in summer, is not the time to not stick

0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>with the rules. The rules. The rules. The rules are arbitrary,

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:09.199
<v Speaker 1>The rules didn't work. The rules they make them up

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>as they please. These are policies. This is not science.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.920
<v Speaker 1>These are judgment calls. This is not a mathematical formula.

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>You we either as a kind. I know, for a

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of you're in places where you feel like, oh,

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's pretty normal around me. Yeah, but

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, air travel and train travel, and on federal grounds,

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 1>federal buildings and a lot of private businesses, national chains.

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>They're all just going to cling and cling and cling

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to those little little dirty masks we've all been forced

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to wear that we're sneezing in and coughing in. It's gross.

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Gott to wear it all the time. Yeah, just just

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 1>ask somebody when when the next time someone gives you

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>a hard time. But I'd say, show me the show

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>me the data on outdoor transmission of coronavirus in open air.

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Show me that data, show me, show me where those

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 1>cases are. They'll say, I believe the science or I

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>believe it's science. They actually don't. This has become a

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>religious belief for people that don't like to read. But nonetheless,

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>whatever Fauci says goes will reinstate restrictions. Oh now, you

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>could say the federal government doesn't do this, the states do.

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It's the Democrat party, folks. What Biden says, every blue

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>state is going to do. And even some of you

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Red states, you know, Governor Abbott in Texas really weak

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>on this stuff. He's got a little better recently, but

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>not much. Some of those Red states highly disappointing. So

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 1>it's not like you haven't suffered through the two If

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 1>you live in a city if you live in a

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 1>densely pompulated part of the country, you've basically been put

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 1>through this unless you well, even in Florida, that's not

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>even true. Even in Florida. Miami's got a lot of

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 1>mask mandates. You know. I had somebody that I was

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>talking to from ten feet away in an outdoor kiosk

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>tell me to put on a mask to talk to

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.120
<v Speaker 1>them from ten feet away outside because it was Miami law.

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And I feel badly for these people because what they're

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>saying is moronic. But it's not always their fault. We've

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>got work to do to ensure that everyone has confidence

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>in the safety and effectives of all three vaccines. So

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>our message to you is this, Listen to doctor Fauci,

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>one most distinguished and trusted voices in the world. He's

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>assured us the vaccines are safe. Vander want rigorous scientific review.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I know they're safe. Vice President Harris and I know

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 1>they're safe. That's why we got the vaccine publicly in

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.879
<v Speaker 1>front of cameras so for the world to see, so

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you can see us do it. The first lady and

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the second gentleman also got vaccinated. Talk to your family, friends,

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 1>your neighbors, the people you know best who have gotten

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:48.919
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine. We need everyone to get vaccinated. We need

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>everyone to get vaccinated. Does that mean children? They think

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the kids who are at effectively zero risk from this

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>disease need to get vaccinated. Really, is that going to

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>be a condition of opening schools? And I'm sorry, I

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>am not willing to forget the fact that Kamala and

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe were willing to spend real time during the campaign

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 1>casting doubt on the safety of the vaccine because it

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>was useful for attacking Trump. Does the vaccine work? Well,

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can't really trust Trump and it's it's

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>his FDA that's approving it. So that created a lot

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 1>of mistrust. Now they're they're acting like their heroes for

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.400
<v Speaker 1>cleaning up a mass that in part they made by

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>casting real aspersions on the safety of the vaccine in

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the first place. That came from Kamala, that came from

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. Because that's how ruthless these Democrat politicians are.

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>That's how ruthless they are. Whatever they had to say,

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.439
<v Speaker 1>And don't ever forget that so much of the media

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>around this was just a function of whatever's necessary to

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:57.360
<v Speaker 1>defeat Donald Trump. Whatever they had to say about the vaccine,

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 1>about the virus, about everything around it, lockdowns. As long

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>as it was useful in their quest to beat Donald Trump.

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They were on board. They were willing to do it.

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's something that I will not I will

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>not let go. I will I will not forget that.

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>And I just think it's it's amazing they they hold

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.399
<v Speaker 1>up Fauci. I mean, he's become this this uh, this

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 1>symbol really this this emblem of the of great scientific uh,

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, great scientific knowledge. What exactly has he done? Well?

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>What is the basis for thinking this guy has great

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 1>judgment or is even a genius in his field. He's

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a bureaucrat who's been going around releasing, you know, public

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 1>safety announcements about the flu for the last twenty years

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and saying wash your hands. Great. Wow, I'm impressed. And

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>now we find out and they just forget this that

0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>hand washing probably does very little. I'm not saying it's irrelicant.

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Lots of little things can help, but they can't stop this.

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's not as though if they constantly nag us

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>about all this, we're going to be so much better protected.

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 1>But go back and see what Fauci was saying about

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>HIV in the eighties and the way that he was

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:22.360
<v Speaker 1>terrifying people and the misinformation that he was spreading. If

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>this guy actually worked in the private sector and there

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 1>was any accountability for what he does of what he

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 1>had done, he would have lost his job. But there

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't any accountability as a bureaucrat. This guy is not impressive.

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Biden holds up Fauci, like, how could anybody argue with him?

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Fauci twelve months ago scoffed at the idea of masks

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>as an effective public health measure, as Fauci calls it,

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>for stopping this virus. What did we learn? What did

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we learn? After that? They say, oh, well we didn't

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>know about asymptomatic case spread. Okay, well we thought the

0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:01.919
<v Speaker 1>virus was substantially more lethal when Fauci said that than

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.719
<v Speaker 1>it actually ended up being. And it was a question

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 1>of should you wear a mask as a means of

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>stopping the spread of the virus? Is it good protection

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 1>for you? Does it stop you from infecting other people?

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And Fauci was like, nah, doesn't really doesn't really work.

0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not really worth it for the public, which is

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>by the way the correct answer. They can pretend now like,

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>oh no, there are all these revelations, and we had

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>a mannequin and the mannequin did a spray through a thing.

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>They're telling you that the scientific consensus. If you believe

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the scientific consensus of twelve months ago, that was the

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>scientific consensus on this issue in the West for a

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:47.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred years. If you believe that, you're a conspiracy nut

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and you don't believe science, that's where we are. That

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:55.119
<v Speaker 1>is just a straight recitation of objective reality. As you

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:57.679
<v Speaker 1>can tell, I am very angry about this. They've destroyed

0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>lives friends. We had the most overdoses from from drugs

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in this country in our history last year, over eighty thousand,

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:07.879
<v Speaker 1>and that's just an indicator. It's like looking at homicides

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 1>in a city as an indicator of overall crime. There's

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of drug abuse, spousal abuse, child abuse, self harm,

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>deep psychological depression. You know, people that don't understand mental

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>health issues can't have an appreciation for this. When you're

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>in a mental health crisis, it is as painful and

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 1>awful as any physical crisis can be for you. I mean,

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a true prison of terror and fear and awfulness,

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 1>and we did that to people with our policies in

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>this country because of people like Faucci. We blocked them

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:46.680
<v Speaker 1>off from human contact, We blocked them off from loved ones,

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and lots of people died of the virus anyway, weren't

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>allowed to see their loved ones, weren't allowed to have

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>any time with them at the end. Because you know,

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 1>doctor Fauci is king of the world. People should be

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>deeply embarrassed about the cowardice. Really, the character and ethical

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.479
<v Speaker 1>cowardice that they showed by just handing over all their

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>critical faculties to government bureaucrats. That is what this is.

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 1>There was another way. They can ignore it as much

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 1>as they want. They could pretend that there wasn't, but

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 1>there was, in fact another way, and some people in

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>some places were able to take it. I bring you,

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Governor Ronda Santis, Great State of Florida, Play thirteen. The

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>thing I hear. I was just talking to a friend

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 1>of mine who was in DC, and he's like, you know,

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the different between Florida and DC's like it's dead. It's

0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>totally dead. Here. People are living life, they're happier, and

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>things are just want to be here compared to that,

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that has an effect far beyond

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.120
<v Speaker 1>these nursing homes and there, but I think it's most

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 1>acute in the nursing home. So God bless those nursing

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.399
<v Speaker 1>home residents. They've been through an awful lot over the

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>past year. And but yeah, we got to do whatever

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>we can to bring fulfillment to them. So if any

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>of those facilities have any need for the state to

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>help them out on any of that, we're ready willing enable.

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 1>We were the first with the testing, we were the

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.920
<v Speaker 1>first with protections against the discharges in the facilities, first

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.920
<v Speaker 1>with the vaccines, and we want to be first to

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 1>help them reach the fulfillment that they need. There's so

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>much about the Florida model that needs a lot more attention,

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 1>but the media won't do it because they were all

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>parts of the of the stupidity, the fraud, and the

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:33.119
<v Speaker 1>panic there. There has always been this this false, this

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>false argument that was made during the pandemic last twelve

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 1>months by Democrats, by lockdowners, and by some Republicans too.

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>By no means, So I do I think that this

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>is only Democrats, but it was you know, really if

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you look at the data, you show democrats are like,

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna ask up forever. A lot of them they're crazy.

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it completely lost all sense of proportion and reality,

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 1>some of them, not all of them. But well, when

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at this, the false argument that was always

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>presented was either obey Faucism, like he is your god

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>king and there can be no questioning. Or you're out there,

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, spraying virus in people's faces, virus denier, vax denier,

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>no science, flat earth. You know, this was a total

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>caricature the whole time, a complete and utter fraud. This

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't this, this is not the the opposite of what

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 1>they're saying. Rather, this is not the opposition to what

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>they were saying. It's a caricature of the opposition. Was

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it was possible to do focused protection in nursing homes

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and to allow businesses to continue to operate, to continue

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to stay open, to allow people to be out. I mean,

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of this, folks, they were telling people

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't go out into public parks. You remember, they

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 1>were shutting down playgrounds, the experts, they were arresting people.

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:53.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, they forget about all this now and they

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>don't want to talk about it because it just shows

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>how crappy their judgment is and how full of it

0:29:57.640 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 1>they were, because they were saying that was about the

0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>science too. I mean, this is like the Democrats with

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 1>COVID are like a stockbroker who loses you money every

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 1>time you give him money to invest on your behalf.

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, Hey, I'm your financial advisor. You keep losing money. Oh,

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 1>don't worry about this, this idea, If I'm an expert,

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>this idea is going to make you the money. Say

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, your last five ideas, I've lost everything.

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Why am I going to on on? What are you

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about? I'm the expert. I'm the expert. Listen to me,

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>or else listen to me, or or you're gonna miss

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>out on this big bull market. A lot of Democrats say,

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, here you go. Poppa needs a new pair

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>of shoes. You know, let's roll the dice, let's go

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 1>for it. It's absurd. The difference here was whether we

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>allowed for individual localized improvisation, individual choice, and and actually

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 1>paid attention to what states we're we're functioning well and

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 1>what states were not under different approaches to the virus.

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Look at California, Look at Florida. Florida is better on

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 1>all of them, all of the numbers, all of metrics.

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 1>California was an extreme lockdown state. Florida allowed for a

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>continuation of life. There were still restrictions. There was even

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 1>still indoor masking, which quite honestly, if I were in charge,

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that a government indoor mask mandate

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>is not supported by the data that actually you look

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>at restrictions and what worked and mask mandates and difference.

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we have the data from the CDC on this,

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I think in some ways, even even

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Florida got pushed into more than it really should have

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>had to do. But at least it was sane. We

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 1>were shutting down restaurants, We shut down outdoor dining in California.

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Think about that, you shut down outdoor dining? What they

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:48.479
<v Speaker 1>shut down schools? Why? It's not only that children are

0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>at entirely acceptable risk from this virus, which means almost

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 1>no risk. They don't spread it to adults and we

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>don't even really know why, but it's very hard for

0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>adults to get this from children. They still have us

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>shut down. This is a fight that we cannot, we

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 1>cannot relent, We cannot let them get away with this.

0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that they think that they're smart. I know

0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the lockdown or is the left, the Democrats, the corporate

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>media believe so strong they listen to the science. These

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 1>are people without intellectual curiosity or intellectual honesty, who have

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>all become invested in this for reasons that have nothing

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>to do with actually stopping the virus or saving lots

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of lives, as much as they may pretend otherwise. This

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>is about vanity and virtue signaling and the refusal, the

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 1>refusal to accept the fact that they were unwilling to

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 1>take a country first approach to dealing with this virus

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty, because the first priority of Democrats in

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty was not beating COVID, it was beating Donald Trump. Well, absolutely,

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think at the end of the day, not

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>only her comments, but certainly comments that the administration is

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.360
<v Speaker 1>made over the last several days, I think you have

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 1>to say that the crisis that we currently see is

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:00.120
<v Speaker 1>the Biden Plan is what they had in mind to

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 1>all along. Whether they thought that they would get the

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:06.480
<v Speaker 1>numbers as quickly as they have is up for a question,

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>but I think this is their plan. But when she

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:12.320
<v Speaker 1>talks about inhumane or a humane policy that there's pent

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 1>up demand, I vehetmainly disagree with that. I think it's

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the most humane inhumane message that you can give, and

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>you can sell all of these individuals a lie. And

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>what do I mean by that. We know that the

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 1>vast majority of these folks do not qualify for asylum,

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and so they are eventually going to have to be

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 1>deported or leave the country and go back to their

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to their countries of origin. They know that the Biden

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>administration knows that, so they are selling these individuals a lie,

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:41.120
<v Speaker 1>encouraging them to put their themselves in the hands of

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 1>smugglers and traffickers. And so my opinion is that is

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the most inhumane message and inhumane policy that you can deliver.

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.800
<v Speaker 1>So Chad Wolfe, who was acting DHS chief for a while,

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 1>saying here that the border crisis is the Biden plan,

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 1>He's right about that. But there's a part of this

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 1>that I would add, there's a part of this that

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he's honestly not seeing correctly, and that is

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that the Biden plan is actually for that. Yes, it's

0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to pretend that they're going to get a silet's to

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 1>tell people, come here, you will get asylum. But they're

0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 1>going to stay. They're not going to get deported. That's

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the part of this that I think Chad is actually

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 1>not seeing. They're not going to get deported. That's the

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:27.800
<v Speaker 1>whole point the illegal immigrants who are coming to the

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:31.720
<v Speaker 1>country right now, and remember, their first act on US soil,

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>literally on US soil is the illegal crossing, which is

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a violation of US law. It's a form of trespassing,

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a form of violated US national sovereignty. That's the

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 1>first thing that they do. And then they've been coached

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:47.319
<v Speaker 1>because the word has been out for a long time

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>about this, to claim defensive asylum or secondary asylum, which

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:53.759
<v Speaker 1>is essentially throwing themselves on the mercy of the United

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 1>States and saying, oh, I know that I shouldn't have

0:34:56.239 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 1>come like this, but I'm just desperate. If I go

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:00.319
<v Speaker 1>back to my home country, I'm going to be killed by,

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the secret police or something. That's why we

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>have this so that if you're fleeing the Soviet Union

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and you happen to get to you know, the shores

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of New York or you know, you made your way

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:15.839
<v Speaker 1>to the shores of Florida or wherever, and you say, Okay,

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I know I didn't come through your legal process, but

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys got to give me a chance, because if

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I actually get sent back to my home country, I'm

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be killed. These are Central American migrants who are

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.399
<v Speaker 1>coming largely it's not all from Central America, and they're saying,

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to be in a I mean, there are

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:30.600
<v Speaker 1>real motivations. I want to be in America because it's

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.920
<v Speaker 1>better wages, better infrastructure, better government, and a better system.

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 1>That's just called being an immigrant. Right. They want to

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 1>be immigrants, and I do not. I have no blame

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>or disdain or you know, I understand that impulse. You know,

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 1>life is not fair being born in a country that

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>is a dysfunctional mess versus being born in America. That

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 1>is an unfair disparity that human beings are going through

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:58.800
<v Speaker 1>all over the world every day. Right, being born in

0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 1>North Korea is worse than being born in you know,

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma City. Okay, it is worse. We understand this, and

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately we can't make this entirely fair because then the

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 1>country that is better is going to cease to be

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a country. If you no longer have control over your borders,

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't really have a country anymore. We all understand

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:25.520
<v Speaker 1>how that works. If you don't just think about Okay,

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:29.279
<v Speaker 1>go tell a country you know the size of the

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Netherlands that they need to take in five million, you know,

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:38.800
<v Speaker 1>five million immigrants from Syria, Afghanistan, you know, Libya, you know,

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you name it, countries that have had wars in recent

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>years and that are having terrible problems. And then tell

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:46.279
<v Speaker 1>those people in the Netherlands, well, your country is going

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to be the same. You're just taking an immigrants. Well yeah,

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 1>but we're we're actually changing the character of the nation

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:55.320
<v Speaker 1>because we're changing the people of this nation dramatically in

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a transformational way. That does not allow for the kinds

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of you know, the kinds of processes that bring people

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:08.400
<v Speaker 1>into a feeling of community in the same nation over time. Right,

0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 1>we're supposed to have that, that's supposed to be up

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:16.319
<v Speaker 1>a part of all of this, and yet they don't

0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:19.040
<v Speaker 1>really talk about this. They don't have that as even

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a discussion point anymore. It's allow for mass migration into

0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:27.800
<v Speaker 1>your country or else you are being unfair. Allow for

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 1>mass migration of the country or else you're a bad person. Actually,

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you're you're a racist. There are a lot of countries

0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that don't allow people to just show up and become

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:40.880
<v Speaker 1>permanent citizens with voting rights and the ability to demand

0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>resources from the state. Right, we're supposed to have a

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>process in place, but the Democrats, the Biden administration is

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:52.440
<v Speaker 1>intentionally undermining it. We have an open border, friends, that's

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>what this is. Press secretary smites Fox host that disc

0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:02.319
<v Speaker 1>diversity in the US military. You might be wondering, why

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:07.879
<v Speaker 1>is Buck reading a headline from the comments or from

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 1>from a blog post at Slate dot com or huff

0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Post or one of these other lunatic left wing you know,

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:22.720
<v Speaker 1>garbage heaps. But no, that's actually from Defense dot gov.

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 1>That's actually on a government news website. We have to

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 1>get into this right now. We've got our friend Kirschlichter

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:32.480
<v Speaker 1>joining us. He spent decades in the United States military,

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 1>still active in the Army Reserve, and he's a senior

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:39.279
<v Speaker 1>columnist at Townhall dot com. You should always look for

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:41.640
<v Speaker 1>his work. Kirk great to see again. So here here's

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the at the heart of this. The United States military,

0:38:44.320 --> 0:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>quote is the greatest the world has ever seen because

0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of its diversity, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said during

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a news briefing. Kirby addressed this because a Fox Cable

0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 1>host used his show to denigrate the contributions of women

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 1>in the military and to say that Chinese military is

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 1>catching up to the US military because it does not

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.919
<v Speaker 1>allow women to serve the percentage in the United States does.

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to be very clear upfront, Kirby said, diversity

0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:13.080
<v Speaker 1>of our military is one of our greatest strengths. I've

0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>seen it for myself in long months at sea and

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the combat waged by troops in rock and Afghanistan, and

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it, right, yeada yadya okay um. First of all,

0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 1>why is a an employee of the of the DoD

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 1>uh press? Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby attacking in a

0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Tucker Carlson like Why spend his time doing that? Is

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:38.919
<v Speaker 1>he a pundited? It's because what it's his masters want done. Look,

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 1>if Donald Trump's people had did it, this would have

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>been the greatest assaulved on free speech in the history

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of assualtype free speech. It would have been literally violence.

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd be literally shaking you'd be literally shaked. The whole

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 1>world would be literally shaking. But remember Buck, there are

0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 1>no rules. There's just power, and unfortunately they have it

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:58.920
<v Speaker 1>now and they're using their power to new to the

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:02.600
<v Speaker 1>American military. The thing is Tucker called them on it.

0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>He told the truth, and they don't want to hear him. Now.

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>To actually discuss this, I have to put on my

0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:13.480
<v Speaker 1>trial lawyer at because this is a little bit of

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:17.480
<v Speaker 1>sleight of hand. Argument wise, Tucker said, Hey, the American

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:21.759
<v Speaker 1>military is an unseerious organization because we're focusing on things

0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like maternity flight suits and transsexual surgery. This is indisputably true.

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 1>The Chinese are focusing on killing Americans, which is also

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:34.360
<v Speaker 1>indisputably true. Now they don't want to talk about that

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's indisputably true. So what they want to do

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>is lie and pretend that Tucker is running down the

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:45.439
<v Speaker 1>contributions of women in the military. That is again a lie,

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's a lighthold by people who have failed to

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:50.200
<v Speaker 1>win a war in the last twenty years. I think

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that's a much bigger issue than anything else. Now, how

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 1>does social justice, I mean the social justice focus that

0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon Brass have you know, what are the ways

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>in which I mean you mentioned like maternity flight suits.

0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean essentially, what is the you know, Tucker was

0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 1>making the arguments, as he admit, he's not somebody who's

0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 1>served the military, but he's obviously in contact with a

0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:16.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of people who are, and he's a commentator and

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what he's doing. He's sharing his view on what's happening.

0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I also think that you know, this is a fascinating

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 1>new standard where the United States military now when it

0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:29.360
<v Speaker 1>comes to Tucker Carlson, if you didn't serve, you're not

0:41:29.360 --> 0:41:31.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have opinions on it, right. I mean, it's

0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 1>supported by tax dollars, it defends all of us. But

0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>what is the case in your mind that that Tucker

0:41:37.160 --> 0:41:38.600
<v Speaker 1>is making. I mean, what do we need to be

0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>aware of what Tucker is accurately pointing out that our

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:45.839
<v Speaker 1>military is concerned with social justice nonsense, because that's why

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it is and not winning wards. Okay, let's let's review

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty years. And I think this is a

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 1>significant point. I mean, on Twitter last night and most

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of leftist Twitter collectively wet itself. I pointed out that

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Tucker has as one as many wars as our present

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:06.600
<v Speaker 1>military leadership has in the last two decades. But Tucker

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:12.640
<v Speaker 1>has actually lost your wars that our present military leadership

0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:14.920
<v Speaker 1>has in the last two decades, and they don't want

0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you to talk about that. The American military is not

0:42:18.440 --> 0:42:21.840
<v Speaker 1>ready to fight China. Instead, it's chasing its tail with

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:26.120
<v Speaker 1>nonsense about quote unquote diversity, which I want to come

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:29.840
<v Speaker 1>back to in a second, and all this social justice garbage,

0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:31.640
<v Speaker 1>because that's what it is. Let me tell you what

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 1>diversity is in the military. Diversity is everybody wearing camouflage. Okay,

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>it shouldn't be an issue. Who you are shouldn't matter. Now,

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:49.280
<v Speaker 1>capabilities do matter, and there are realities of differences between

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:52.480
<v Speaker 1>men and women that need to be taken into account

0:42:52.560 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and need to be discussed. Women and men are different.

0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.320
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't say anything bad about women, And I was

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>sent the implication that somehow pointing out that a one

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.279
<v Speaker 1>hundred pound woman is going to have trouble carrying a

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred pound backpack is somehow an attack on her.

0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me make you a buck. When I was a

0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:17.120
<v Speaker 1>platoon leader in Desert Store, I ran a heavily armed carwash.

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'm wondering if I'm allowed to speak since I

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:24.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in Delta Force, but we'll just assume I fit

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.760
<v Speaker 1>within the rules of who can talk about the military

0:43:27.080 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 1>for now. When I was there, I had a female

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>squad leader who had a photosensitive skin disease, which she hid.

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Now that's a big problem when you're in the desert,

0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:38.880
<v Speaker 1>but she hid it because she wanted to be with

0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:42.520
<v Speaker 1>her troops. I had to send her home. Her heart unquestioned,

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:47.840
<v Speaker 1>her patriotism unquestioned, her courage unquestioned. And no one's questioning

0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 1>any of that. And it's a lie to guess talking

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:53.680
<v Speaker 1>about that instead of the reality that we are cutting,

0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:58.800
<v Speaker 1>we are trading combat readiness for political correctness that is indisputable.

0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Tell me we're not slamming destroyers into cargo ships we are.

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Tell me we're not driving pilots out of the Air

0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Force we are. Tell me all American brigade combat teams

0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:15.600
<v Speaker 1>are ready to deploy. They aren't. Now, there was a

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 1>story that I saw as well this week, Kurt, that

0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:22.120
<v Speaker 1>was a war game exercise. I'm sure you saw this too,

0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:25.800
<v Speaker 1>about how it would go right now if the US

0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>had to had to fight a straight up force on

0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 1>force war against China not a cyber war, a you know,

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.440
<v Speaker 1>guns going boom boom war, and it didn't come out

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 1>well for the US. No, it didn't, and they don't

0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about that. The simple fact is that

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Chinese have built up their military. We have weakened arts.

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:50.880
<v Speaker 1>We have weakened arts because we have gotten away from

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the basics of military leadership and military culture. I consider

0:44:57.320 --> 0:44:59.839
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we have not built up our navy

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.720
<v Speaker 1>to be a critical fact. I think a worse fact

0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.120
<v Speaker 1>for America is that we have not demanded that the

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:09.760
<v Speaker 1>officer corps focus on you're fighting instead of this political

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:13.720
<v Speaker 1>correct garbage. I mean, we've got raygions own. Lloyd Austin

0:45:14.239 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 1>is now the Secretary of Defense, and his big thing

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is making sure everybody thinks exactly the same way, just

0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:23.279
<v Speaker 1>like Joe Biden, well to the extent Joe Biden thinks

0:45:23.600 --> 0:45:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and isn't told what he thinks and rooting out conservative

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:33.160
<v Speaker 1>people within the military. They call him extremists. That's another lie.

0:45:33.960 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 1>But what the military should be doing is preparing to

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:41.360
<v Speaker 1>deter our enemies or defeat them in high intensity combat.

0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:44.400
<v Speaker 1>It is not ready to do so. This failure of leadership,

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm terrified to this buck, this faire of leadership

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to lead to a disastrous engagement where thousands

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of Americans die unnecessarily because they are not well trained,

0:45:55.640 --> 0:45:59.000
<v Speaker 1>not well equipped, and not well led. This I am

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:01.880
<v Speaker 1>not happy to say that. I am not excited to

0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:04.640
<v Speaker 1>say this. This makes me sick to my stomach. And

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what also tears me up. After twenty seven

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:10.279
<v Speaker 1>years in the military and I loved it, I no

0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:13.640
<v Speaker 1>longer recommend people join the military. Somebody says, should I

0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 1>join the military, I might stop. You need to really think.

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:19.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you do, that's great. Do I think

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the military is a organization that's going to treat him correctly? No?

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I do not think it is. How did

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:29.720
<v Speaker 1>this And we're talking to Kurt Schlicht. He's a senior

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:34.560
<v Speaker 1>columnist at Town Hall and an Army veteran. So the Kurt,

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:37.040
<v Speaker 1>how did we get to this point in your estimation

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:38.960
<v Speaker 1>where you're now saying this. I mean, this has got

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to be for somebody who spent over two decades serving,

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:43.640
<v Speaker 1>this has got to be something that's tough for you

0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:45.359
<v Speaker 1>to say. And I know there are others. I've even

0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:48.080
<v Speaker 1>talked to you with others who are military present where

0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>we were discussing this, who feel very much the same way.

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you're talking to guys who are on the inside.

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Guys and gals are on the inside of the DoD

0:46:56.360 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 1>who feel this way. How do we get to this

0:46:58.520 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>point and how do we get out of it? Well, look, buck,

0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a commander, troops do what commanders chat. And in the

0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Obama administration, they made it very clear that you needed

0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to toe in liberal line, and they promoted liberal channels,

0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and people down the line understood that, and that's what

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:20.279
<v Speaker 1>they enforced. So now you see these uh, now you

0:47:20.400 --> 0:47:25.239
<v Speaker 1>see these bizarre reading lists, you know, for for of

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:29.759
<v Speaker 1>all these commanders, and it's all full of this racist garbage.

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm an anti racism training for four star generals is

0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:38.160
<v Speaker 1>now necessarily Yeah, it's just garbage. And they all do it.

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 1>And why did they do it? Because that's what was

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:42.600
<v Speaker 1>rewared in the Obama administration. Why didn't Trump do anything

0:47:42.600 --> 0:47:47.080
<v Speaker 1>about it because unfortunately, like many civilians, was impressed by

0:47:47.120 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the military and deferred to the generals and didn't go

0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 1>in and change it. This could change tomorrow, This could

0:47:54.840 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 1>change in a heartbeat. You need a conservative president calls

0:47:58.640 --> 0:48:01.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and says, here's

0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:04.279
<v Speaker 1>how it's going to be. And if it isn't, I'm

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:06.920
<v Speaker 1>firing you. And then I'm going to fire everybody in

0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the chain of command, and I'm going to retire you

0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:12.279
<v Speaker 1>or sending you to No Molaska to hand out volleyballs.

0:48:12.640 --> 0:48:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And you put a couple of figurative heads on pikes,

0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and the military will conform. That's the thing. That's why

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:24.520
<v Speaker 1>it's vulnerable. It is a military conforms to the vision

0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>of its leaders. If the vision of the leaders is

0:48:26.800 --> 0:48:30.400
<v Speaker 1>social justice nonsense, then that's what the military is going

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to be. If it's combat readiness, it will come back.

0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:36.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm hoping we get a president who is white,

0:48:36.800 --> 0:48:41.160
<v Speaker 1>willing to demand that we have a we're fighting organization

0:48:41.480 --> 0:48:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and fire generals until he gets one. And believe me,

0:48:46.239 --> 0:48:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you put a few, you kick a few of these

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:50.520
<v Speaker 1>guys out and put them to pastor the rest of

0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:54.560
<v Speaker 1>generals will conform. Kirch, look to everybody, go to townhall

0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:57.600
<v Speaker 1>dot comference, lets column follow him on social Kurt, I

0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 1>always appreciate man, thanks for being with us. And what

0:49:01.120 --> 0:49:06.360
<v Speaker 1>we know is that we need a federal solution guns

0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:11.120
<v Speaker 1>don't respect state borders. In New York State, seventy five

0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:14.279
<v Speaker 1>of the guns that are used in crimes in that

0:49:14.440 --> 0:49:18.360
<v Speaker 1>state are bought outside of New York, in states with

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:22.680
<v Speaker 1>less strict gun laws, where criminals can buy a weapon

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:26.279
<v Speaker 1>without having to go through a background check. And so

0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:29.759
<v Speaker 1>in order to protect all of America's children, we need

0:49:29.840 --> 0:49:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to pass universal background checks and close the Charleston loophole

0:49:35.360 --> 0:49:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to protect the children. Notice how gun control is about

0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:44.959
<v Speaker 1>protecting the children. As we know a very small percentage

0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:47.799
<v Speaker 1>of gun crime. Mean, every gun crimes is horrible, Every

0:49:48.360 --> 0:49:52.200
<v Speaker 1>homicide is a tragedy, and especially when it brings in

0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:57.239
<v Speaker 1>innocent children into the situation. But they're going for the

0:49:57.280 --> 0:50:00.800
<v Speaker 1>emotional appeal appeal here, of course, suggesting that this is

0:50:00.840 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>going to protect kids. And so if you have a

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:04.759
<v Speaker 1>problem with this, if you think that this is not

0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:09.120
<v Speaker 1>in a good way going forward, if you don't agree

0:50:09.239 --> 0:50:13.839
<v Speaker 1>with this, you are the problem, right, you don't want

0:50:13.840 --> 0:50:16.799
<v Speaker 1>to protect children, That's what they're saying. That's the way

0:50:16.880 --> 0:50:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that the emotional manipulation here at the hands of Democrats works.

0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:23.560
<v Speaker 1>But I just want to say that they're pushing these

0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:25.719
<v Speaker 1>things right now as quickly as they can because they

0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:28.719
<v Speaker 1>know that as we see more of this Biden administration,

0:50:28.840 --> 0:50:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the incompetence, the enormous spending, the payoffs a special interest,

0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the lack of accountability for the dumbass lockdown policies, all

0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:40.680
<v Speaker 1>these things, people are going to get increasingly tired of

0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:43.080
<v Speaker 1>being told what to do, and they're going to get

0:50:43.160 --> 0:50:47.480
<v Speaker 1>tired of the Biden administration using a crisis mentality. I'm

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:49.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna see the administration, I mean, the whole Democrat Party

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 1>right now, the Democrat Party is really it feels flush

0:50:53.680 --> 0:50:56.480
<v Speaker 1>with power. I mean, they feel like they're just they're

0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:58.839
<v Speaker 1>they're in the best position they've been in in ten years,

0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and they're going for it. And they want to push

0:51:01.239 --> 0:51:03.239
<v Speaker 1>gun control. Now we're not out of the pandemic. We

0:51:03.320 --> 0:51:07.000
<v Speaker 1>still have these restrictions, and they are telling you that

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:12.200
<v Speaker 1>they're going to save lives by improving background checks. I mean, really,

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this is what the House bill that that has been

0:51:13.920 --> 0:51:15.600
<v Speaker 1>passing on the sales that they're gonna they're gonna save

0:51:15.640 --> 0:51:19.080
<v Speaker 1>lives by making it slightly more annoying for people to

0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:23.440
<v Speaker 1>legally purchase firearms. You know what this guy left out

0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of this. You know Senator Murphy left out of this

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:30.760
<v Speaker 1>when he talks about a federal response to gun violence,

0:51:31.800 --> 0:51:34.719
<v Speaker 1>what he left out of it is that most of

0:51:34.760 --> 0:51:36.839
<v Speaker 1>the guns when they're when they're talking about the guns

0:51:36.880 --> 0:51:39.239
<v Speaker 1>that are coming into states that are being used in

0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:43.760
<v Speaker 1>crimes from out of the state. Yeah, guess what, that's illegal.

0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:48.400
<v Speaker 1>These are illegal gun sales. So their response to illegal

0:51:48.480 --> 0:51:51.600
<v Speaker 1>gun sales is to pass another law that makes it

0:51:51.719 --> 0:51:53.680
<v Speaker 1>harder for there to be legal gun sales, or more

0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:56.719
<v Speaker 1>annoying or more tedious or slower or whatever it may be.

0:51:57.960 --> 0:52:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Their their idea to stop gun violence is to make

0:52:01.600 --> 0:52:06.239
<v Speaker 1>law abiding gun transactions more onerous. This is this is

0:52:06.280 --> 0:52:09.960
<v Speaker 1>always the left mentality on this. But remember whenever they

0:52:10.040 --> 0:52:13.720
<v Speaker 1>want to get something thought, you know, it's about about

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the children. Right, here's Nancy Pelosi play fifteen today on

0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the floor. We go to that fourth place, a safe

0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 1>environment which our children can thrive by passing the background

0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:31.800
<v Speaker 1>chech legislation. It's hard to imagine legislation being more popular

0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:36.719
<v Speaker 1>than the Rescue Plan seventy five percent whatever. This legislation

0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:42.600
<v Speaker 1>background checks closer to ninety percent bipartisan support across the country.

0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Receiving a support of gun owners, hunters, and the rest.

0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:51.800
<v Speaker 1>They've all had to do a background check. Why shouldn't others.

0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Our chairman of the Task Force, Mike Thompson is a hunter,

0:52:56.680 --> 0:52:59.759
<v Speaker 1>is a veteran, and is a gun owner, and he

0:53:00.120 --> 0:53:04.040
<v Speaker 1>has had again protective of the First Amendment rights of

0:53:04.120 --> 0:53:08.320
<v Speaker 1>gun owners, but also protective of the survival of our children.

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi, the First Amendment rights of gun owners. I

0:53:14.480 --> 0:53:18.040
<v Speaker 1>just wanted you to hear that. Hey, I have a

0:53:18.120 --> 0:53:21.480
<v Speaker 1>big I have a big believer it the First Amendment

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:26.200
<v Speaker 1>rights to bear arms. Um, Nancy, I got news for you.

0:53:26.320 --> 0:53:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is what I say. These Democrats they

0:53:29.280 --> 0:53:32.440
<v Speaker 1>have never actually they've never read nor understood the Constitution.

0:53:33.400 --> 0:53:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some parts of it have been spoon fed

0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to them that they know, some of the phrases that

0:53:37.000 --> 0:53:39.319
<v Speaker 1>we all learn in grammar school about it or whatever,

0:53:39.520 --> 0:53:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you know. But you know, it's like, Nancy Pelosi, I

0:53:43.640 --> 0:53:47.720
<v Speaker 1>really believe in the Constitution that it says for score

0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, yeah, no, no wrong speech. But

0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. It doesn't matter constitutions on a speech, of course,

0:53:55.120 --> 0:53:57.680
<v Speaker 1>But you get what I'm saying. Nancy Pelosi has no

0:53:57.719 --> 0:53:59.160
<v Speaker 1>idea what the heck is going on when it comes

0:53:59.200 --> 0:54:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to actually deducing violence or dealing with criminality in this

0:54:02.480 --> 0:54:07.760
<v Speaker 1>country because their party was largely favorable to the massive

0:54:07.840 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 1>surge of violence, of criminality that happened as a result

0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:13.960
<v Speaker 1>of the BLM movement and the Ferguson effect on police

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:16.440
<v Speaker 1>officers where they realize, Okay, we're not going to be supported,

0:54:16.600 --> 0:54:18.239
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to do our jobs as much. That

0:54:18.360 --> 0:54:21.920
<v Speaker 1>results in more people getting killed. It happened, and I

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:24.440
<v Speaker 1>think it was forty seven to fifty of the biggest

0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:27.880
<v Speaker 1>cities in the country last year had had two digit

0:54:27.960 --> 0:54:29.719
<v Speaker 1>increases at least some of them had more like a

0:54:29.760 --> 0:54:32.359
<v Speaker 1>fifty to one hundred percent increase, but had at least

0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a double digit increase in shootings and homicides in a

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:39.879
<v Speaker 1>pandemic year when they're far fewer people in the street.

0:54:39.960 --> 0:54:42.960
<v Speaker 1>But really, the gun control issue, they're gonna keep doing this.

0:54:43.080 --> 0:54:45.520
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna do things that they know there'll be no

0:54:45.640 --> 0:54:50.879
<v Speaker 1>bipartisan support on because they're gonna throw all this at

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans. They're gonna claim obstruction all the time. And

0:54:55.680 --> 0:54:57.920
<v Speaker 1>then what will happen is on one of these issues

0:54:57.960 --> 0:55:00.120
<v Speaker 1>than I believe it will be amnesty. But on one

0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of these issues they're gonna say this is we've tried

0:55:02.800 --> 0:55:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and tried. They haven't actually tried at all. They just

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:07.000
<v Speaker 1>say do what we say or else to the Republicans.

0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:09.760
<v Speaker 1>But they're gonna then claim we've tried to meet them halfway,

0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:11.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a lie. But we've tried to meet them halfway.

0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:15.120
<v Speaker 1>They won't do it. So we have no choice but

0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:19.839
<v Speaker 1>to obliterate their obstructionism by eliminating the filibuster. And once

0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>they do that on one issue, understand, then it's open season.

0:55:22.960 --> 0:55:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Right then they're gonna go for it on every issue.

0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:30.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is why the Democrats are picking these things

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.279
<v Speaker 1>where they know that they want it. They know they're

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:35.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to get any bipartisan support on it whatsoever

0:55:35.920 --> 0:55:38.560
<v Speaker 1>from the Republicans, and they're gonna stack all these up

0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:40.920
<v Speaker 1>so that one of them will be the issue. And

0:55:41.000 --> 0:55:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I believe I could be wrong. I believe it will

0:55:42.960 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 1>be amnesty. They're just going to break the damn and

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:50.000
<v Speaker 1>say our way or the highway, you know, deal with it, Republicans.

0:55:50.440 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean this gun control thing, background checks, there's no

0:55:53.920 --> 0:55:55.719
<v Speaker 1>reason to believe that even if the Democrats got what

0:55:55.719 --> 0:55:57.320
<v Speaker 1>they want, it would save even a single life. But

0:55:57.400 --> 0:55:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it will annoy a lot of people and it does

0:56:00.200 --> 0:56:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the incrementalist approach to restricting. Not your first Amendment right, Nancy,

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:09.000
<v Speaker 1>your second Amendment right. Cuomo in some increasingly hot water.

0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:13.080
<v Speaker 1>The governor of New York now has more allegations against

0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:15.960
<v Speaker 1>him six last time I counted, and they're getting more serious.

0:56:16.320 --> 0:56:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Something even more serious involve actual unwanted touching, groping allegations

0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:24.680
<v Speaker 1>out there. And then there's also the nursing home scandal,

0:56:24.800 --> 0:56:27.320
<v Speaker 1>which I still think is by far the biggest problem

0:56:27.719 --> 0:56:29.799
<v Speaker 1>that he has, but the Democrats don't want to focus

0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:31.440
<v Speaker 1>on that one. Of course. Now that is the media.

0:56:31.680 --> 0:56:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Our friend Pedro Gonzalez is with us now assistant editor

0:56:34.760 --> 0:56:38.840
<v Speaker 1>at American Greatness. Pedro, thanks so much. Oh, always a

0:56:38.880 --> 0:56:40.560
<v Speaker 1>pleasure to be here. So well, what you've got a

0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:43.399
<v Speaker 1>piece out on the Cuomo situation. Tell us how you're

0:56:43.440 --> 0:56:45.360
<v Speaker 1>seeing it, because I will say, people that I know

0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:50.080
<v Speaker 1>who understand New York pretty well, new York politics well,

0:56:50.200 --> 0:56:53.120
<v Speaker 1>are saying that they're actually now crossing over into maybe

0:56:53.200 --> 0:56:57.880
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna politically survive this right. So that article

0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 1>was published in the National Interest, and the thesis is

0:57:01.800 --> 0:57:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this that whether or not there are people, mainly Democrats

0:57:08.040 --> 0:57:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and leftists, who really do find sexual harassment a greater

0:57:13.520 --> 0:57:18.080
<v Speaker 1>crime than fifteen thousand senior citizens dead followed by an

0:57:18.120 --> 0:57:22.440
<v Speaker 1>abusive cover up, Whether or not that is actually the

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the the driving motive for this, these calls for resignation

0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:32.800
<v Speaker 1>or not, still, I think reveals how how messed up

0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the worldview of these people are. So the nursing home

0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:40.560
<v Speaker 1>thing and the cover up that predates the sexual harassment stuff.

0:57:40.640 --> 0:57:43.080
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, it was it looked like

0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo is going to emerge out of this whole thing unscathed,

0:57:45.800 --> 0:57:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Like he was downplaying at the media he had basically

0:57:49.200 --> 0:57:51.120
<v Speaker 1>he didn't apologize for it. You kind of just said,

0:57:51.760 --> 0:57:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I apologize for your ignorance of like, of my greatness

0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and of what I was doing. If I didn't communicate

0:57:59.560 --> 0:58:01.720
<v Speaker 1>as well they should, it's because I'm so busy being

0:58:01.840 --> 0:58:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a great governor, so you know, cut me some slack,

0:58:04.880 --> 0:58:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, it looked okay, and then you

0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:12.040
<v Speaker 1>have these allegations. At allegations, he asked her a kiss

0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:15.080
<v Speaker 1>at a wedding. You know, so you may or may

0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:17.960
<v Speaker 1>not find that inappropriate, but that that is a headline

0:58:18.000 --> 0:58:21.320
<v Speaker 1>at the New York Times. Governor Cuomo single man asked

0:58:21.360 --> 0:58:23.479
<v Speaker 1>her a kiss at a wedding. And it was only

0:58:23.600 --> 0:58:26.600
<v Speaker 1>around the time that these these women started coming forward

0:58:26.640 --> 0:58:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and started Cuomo tried to kiss me or Quomo did

0:58:28.520 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>this that then you started to have top Democrats withdrawing

0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:37.080
<v Speaker 1>their support from him, saying we want you gone and

0:58:37.520 --> 0:58:39.600
<v Speaker 1>oh and also the nursing home thing was not okay.

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:42.760
<v Speaker 1>But it was not until the me too stuff that

0:58:42.960 --> 0:58:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo started to really look like he was in trouble.

0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:49.680
<v Speaker 1>So I guess what I'm saying is that it shows

0:58:49.720 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 1>that even the people who don't really believe the the

0:58:53.040 --> 0:58:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, the kiss me allegations are that big of

0:58:55.000 --> 0:58:57.920
<v Speaker 1>a deal they think, and they want him gone for

0:58:58.040 --> 0:59:00.920
<v Speaker 1>other reasons either, you know, like Cuomo seems to have

0:59:00.920 --> 0:59:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of friction between him and the Democratic Party

0:59:03.120 --> 0:59:06.880
<v Speaker 1>in general, but they still waited for those allegations, and

0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that I think that shows how how deranged this world

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:13.880
<v Speaker 1>view is and how everyone is behold like they're all

0:59:13.960 --> 0:59:17.600
<v Speaker 1>slaves to it. You're not allowed to criticize somebody like

0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo until something like me too happens, and only then

0:59:21.880 --> 0:59:23.680
<v Speaker 1>can you Oh, by the way, it wasn't okay that

0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you killed or responsible for the deaths of fifteen thousand

0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:32.040
<v Speaker 1>senior citizens. Now, what do you think ends up happening here? Pedro?

0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, where do you see this going? Because it

0:59:33.960 --> 0:59:36.200
<v Speaker 1>feels like the Democrats have all of a sudden turned

0:59:36.280 --> 0:59:40.840
<v Speaker 1>on him on the issue of the unwanted kiss or toucher,

0:59:40.880 --> 0:59:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, and the media, but they're still sort of

0:59:43.320 --> 0:59:46.720
<v Speaker 1>protecting him on the nursing home thing, even though Latsia James,

0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the Attorney General for the State of New York, has

0:59:49.600 --> 0:59:52.520
<v Speaker 1>has put out some information already suggesting that there was

0:59:52.560 --> 0:59:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a cover up. Right, well, I think it's not beyond

1:00:00.000 --> 1:00:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the pale to say that he's going to survive this,

1:00:02.160 --> 1:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>because people seem to survive almost anything these days, especially Democrats.

1:00:08.440 --> 1:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're on the laft, your chances of survival in

1:00:12.080 --> 1:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a in a situation like this are much higher than

1:00:14.520 --> 1:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>they would be for I think a Republican. But it

1:00:17.760 --> 1:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>does seem to be that the again, the sexual harassment

1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>allegations seem to have provided a pretense for not just

1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>for getting rid of them, to save things for the

1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>nursing home thing, which is really, like you said, like

1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that is the true crime. But there's also a lot

1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of other I guess there's a lot of other backstory.

1:00:39.480 --> 1:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>To this. It seems like a lot of people, a

1:00:41.160 --> 1:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of Democrats, have a bone to pick with Cuomo,

1:00:43.960 --> 1:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>and this is they feel their chance to finally do

1:00:47.560 --> 1:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>something against him. And there's there's so many other reasons,

1:00:51.760 --> 1:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>uh to to, you know, to criticize him. Under Cuomo,

1:00:56.440 --> 1:01:00.080
<v Speaker 1>you also saw violent crime go up, even though like

1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrats were the ones pushing for eliminating cash bail, and

1:01:04.520 --> 1:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>like you had Democrats and left wing, left wing bureaucrats

1:01:09.240 --> 1:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in New York releasing looters almost as soon as they

1:01:11.880 --> 1:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>were caught. And so there are all these really actual

1:01:15.480 --> 1:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>valid criminal reasons to get rid of Cuomo, but again

1:01:18.720 --> 1:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone decided to wait until the inappropriate behavior allegations came forward. Pedro,

1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>you also speaking to Pedro Gonzalez, assistant editor at American Greatness,

1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>tell me about switching gears here for a second. The

1:01:35.080 --> 1:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>DOJ investigation about Facebook and discrimination against hiring Americans. I

1:01:40.560 --> 1:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like this doesn't this is not getting nearly enough attention.

1:01:44.080 --> 1:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we talk about Facebook and big Tech and

1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>these companies that are actively suppressing conservatives, and that's certainly happening,

1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>but what is this with discriminating against hiring Americans in

1:01:54.040 --> 1:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>favor of hiring foreign nationals, especially given the immigration situation

1:01:58.480 --> 1:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>that's playing out right now. I feel like people should,

1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, in our southern border, people should know more

1:02:02.680 --> 1:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>about this, right. So the reason that this got buried,

1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I think is because the investigation, the news of it

1:02:11.520 --> 1:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>broke in December. So you what you have last year,

1:02:15.240 --> 1:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You have riots and rallies, a contested election, you have

1:02:18.840 --> 1:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>all these things that are distracting us from this I

1:02:21.600 --> 1:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>think huge story. And that story is that the Justice Department,

1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the two year investigation, found that

1:02:30.280 --> 1:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Facebook actively deliberately discriminates in hiring against Americans in favor

1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of foreign nationals, and that in that two year span

1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>they found more than two thousand, six hundred positions for

1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>which qualified, available American applicants were deliberately rejected, which is

1:02:52.920 --> 1:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>against the law. And what the investigation found is is

1:02:57.120 --> 1:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it all of this is technically legal, that basically Facebook

1:03:01.840 --> 1:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>had complied with the Immigration Act of nineteen ninety as

1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it was written while actively discriminating against people. And obviously

1:03:09.640 --> 1:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the DJ says, well, no, it's not illegal. This is

1:03:12.040 --> 1:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a violation of American civil rights. But Facebook's response has

1:03:16.000 --> 1:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>been and their lawyers have been will we cheat at

1:03:18.280 --> 1:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Farren Square, and you can't blame us because we found

1:03:21.160 --> 1:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>ways that like, you know, cheat within the rules without

1:03:24.520 --> 1:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>breaking any laws. And so there are so many different

1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:31.920
<v Speaker 1>angles to this, and the big one I think is

1:03:32.040 --> 1:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>that you often hear Republicans and Democrats say, you know,

1:03:37.040 --> 1:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>legal immigration is good, you know whatever, We can quibble

1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>about illegal immigration, but legal immigration is just an unqualified

1:03:45.080 --> 1:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>good thing. And what I think that the big takeaway

1:03:49.280 --> 1:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>from this investigation is is that the legal immigration itself

1:03:54.440 --> 1:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>often acts as the legalized displacement of American workers. And

1:03:59.560 --> 1:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>in the case of the like Facebook, these uh so

1:04:03.160 --> 1:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>called high skilled visas, although that's really dubious, you're actively

1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>displacing like basically the American middle class, professionals, people that

1:04:13.400 --> 1:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>go to college and or vocational training for like computer science.

1:04:17.800 --> 1:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>You're discriminating against them. You're you're literally, quite literally killing

1:04:22.280 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the American middle and it's a it's all legal. I

1:04:25.480 --> 1:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>mean again, the DJ you know figured out that Facebook

1:04:29.800 --> 1:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>was was, you know, doing things that are just totally unethical,

1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's why they're getting sued. But technically no laws

1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>were broken. Now Pedro, it feels like Republicans aren't even

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>really sure, what the argument is that they're trying. Sure,

1:04:44.600 --> 1:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>there's an open border, this is what Biden wants. But

1:04:47.000 --> 1:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are executing on their plan here, which is to

1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>bring more and more legal immigrants into the country in

1:04:52.400 --> 1:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>preparation for a massive amnesty. I don't I don't hear

1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>a unified voice from the Republican Party about what we

1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>want to have happen and what should happen here. Right, No, right,

1:05:03.760 --> 1:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's I think that's that shows how far we

1:05:06.400 --> 1:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>are from even getting to the issue of legal immigration

1:05:09.600 --> 1:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>because we're so we're still behind on the issue of

1:05:11.760 --> 1:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration, which I think is even easier to handle.

1:05:15.640 --> 1:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just a no brainer. But I think one thing

1:05:19.520 --> 1:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that is causing the GOP to approach this with trepidation

1:05:25.160 --> 1:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>is there is this rising notion of the big Tent,

1:05:29.960 --> 1:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>which I mean, it's noting new, but every you know,

1:05:32.040 --> 1:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>every now and again, this this becomes the talking point,

1:05:34.280 --> 1:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the big Tent. And basically, I think you have a

1:05:38.240 --> 1:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>growing number of Republicans who are open to amnesty, and

1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>not a few of these have I think unfortunately, like

1:05:46.760 --> 1:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the nod from Trump. Like one of them is Maria

1:05:48.840 --> 1:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Salzar in Florida. She received an endorsement from Trump. She's

1:05:55.280 --> 1:05:59.280
<v Speaker 1>open to amnesty, she's for gun control, she's in favor

1:05:59.320 --> 1:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of a carbon town. And she recently accosted Stephen Miller,

1:06:04.120 --> 1:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>former Trump advisor, and I guess gott into an argument

1:06:08.360 --> 1:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>with him and said, you know, like, I'm the new

1:06:11.320 --> 1:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>face of the GOP, and you need to be more

1:06:14.040 --> 1:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>accepting of basically of immigrants, because you know, we have

1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just as much of a right to be in this

1:06:20.280 --> 1:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>party as anybody else, which I mean, that's true, but

1:06:22.600 --> 1:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of course it's it's basically moral blackmail. You know, to

1:06:25.720 --> 1:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>be against illegal immigration is basically to hate Hispanics, which

1:06:31.080 --> 1:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>is just phenomenally stupid. But that's that's the kind of

1:06:34.200 --> 1:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>argument that Maria Salazar's deploying. And then I think what's

1:06:38.520 --> 1:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>really telling about how how messed up the GOP is

1:06:41.560 --> 1:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>right now is in Texas, what has Governor Greg Abbott

1:06:45.720 --> 1:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>been doing about illegal immigration. Well, it's not really clear,

1:06:49.200 --> 1:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>but yesterday he released his statement against gab a social

1:06:53.040 --> 1:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>media network that the Texas GOP has an official account

1:06:56.760 --> 1:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>on calling the platform and by extension, his own party

1:07:00.680 --> 1:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and every single Republican voter in Texas on the platform

1:07:03.920 --> 1:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>anti Semitic and like the vice chair of Texas of

1:07:08.560 --> 1:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the Texas Goop News cat parts, he's also been talking

1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>about the Big Tent and kind of like hinting it, well,

1:07:14.720 --> 1:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>we need to we need to soften up on immigration

1:07:17.080 --> 1:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>so that we don't alienate voters. And this is just

1:07:19.080 --> 1:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>like the absolute tragic comedy state of the GOP at

1:07:22.520 --> 1:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the moment. Talking to our friend Pedro Gonzalez at American

1:07:26.360 --> 1:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Greatness go to American Greatness dot com for his latest piece, Pedro,

1:07:30.600 --> 1:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Always appreciate your appreciate your perspective. Man, Thanks so much

1:07:33.400 --> 1:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>for joining. Always a great time. Thank you. Well, I

1:07:36.600 --> 1:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>think there's been a lot of confusion about what's been

1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>happening at the border as it relates to people who

1:07:43.080 --> 1:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>are coming across and what happens when they come across.

1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>And I know Governor Abbott down in Texas has expressed

1:07:51.360 --> 1:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>some of his concerns and many of those have not

1:07:53.880 --> 1:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>been based in fact. So let me go through a

1:07:56.320 --> 1:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>few of those, because I know we're all interested in

1:07:58.040 --> 1:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>facts around here. One, Governor Abbott has referred to what's

1:08:02.880 --> 1:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>happening at the border as open borders, as thus having

1:08:06.120 --> 1:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>an open borders policy that is absolutely incorrect. The borders

1:08:10.480 --> 1:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>not open. The vast majority of individuals apprehended or encountered

1:08:14.360 --> 1:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at the border continue to be denied entry and a

1:08:16.720 --> 1:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>return under Title forty two. As we've already mentioned. Also,

1:08:22.400 --> 1:08:27.759
<v Speaker 1>he has suggested that we are not vaccinating CBP officers. Again,

1:08:27.840 --> 1:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>we like to deal with facts around here. There's no

1:08:29.840 --> 1:08:32.599
<v Speaker 1>higher priority than the health and safety of our federal workforce,

1:08:33.000 --> 1:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and the Department of Homeland Security and CBP has been

1:08:35.920 --> 1:08:39.919
<v Speaker 1>clear that currently more than sixty four thousand frontline DHS employees,

1:08:39.960 --> 1:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>including members of US Border Patrol, have received a vaccination. Wait,

1:08:44.200 --> 1:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>so sixty four thousand people in DHS, what percentage? I just,

1:08:49.080 --> 1:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>since she's going to be miss numbers here, I want

1:08:50.880 --> 1:08:54.200
<v Speaker 1>to ask zackybaumb Okay, well, how many Border Patrol agents

1:08:54.200 --> 1:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>have actually been vaccinated? Because that's what the that's what

1:08:56.200 --> 1:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the issue was. It wasn't DHS, which is enormous, a

1:08:59.360 --> 1:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>giant loaded bureaucracy with hundreds of thousands of employees, which

1:09:05.040 --> 1:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>how many people, how many of them are in Border patrol.

1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>You you don't get to say, you know, if I

1:09:11.120 --> 1:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>told you, oh, you know, no one in the Marine

1:09:15.160 --> 1:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Corps is getting vaccinated these days. That's a problem. You said, well,

1:09:18.960 --> 1:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of people in the armed forces

1:09:20.360 --> 1:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>who have been vaccinated. I'd say, well, okay, but what

1:09:23.520 --> 1:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>about what I said the Marine corp. Are they getting

1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated at what rate? Right? And by the way, that's

1:09:27.400 --> 1:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>a totally that's just an example situation. I'm obviously not

1:09:30.840 --> 1:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>saying that's what's going on, but that's that's one way

1:09:34.360 --> 1:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>that Saki can avoid looking at the actual numbers here.

1:09:36.880 --> 1:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>But this notion of the open border, we're seeing this happen.

1:09:41.760 --> 1:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're gas lighting and we see what's going on.

1:09:44.520 --> 1:09:47.559
<v Speaker 1>If everybody arriving at the border was being turned back,

1:09:48.479 --> 1:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>do you think that people would be arriving in the

1:09:50.240 --> 1:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>border the numbers are we making up? The videos that

1:09:53.320 --> 1:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>are circulating all over the internet now of hundreds of

1:09:55.680 --> 1:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>people streaming and walking right across the Rio grand They're

1:10:01.240 --> 1:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>coming right in, right the Rio Grande whatever. You know,

1:10:06.080 --> 1:10:12.320
<v Speaker 1>They're coming right in And what is this? We know why?

1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Because they claim asylum and then they get released the

1:10:15.760 --> 1:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>interior of the United States. A majority of the people

1:10:18.160 --> 1:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>are being turned away. I explained this to Babe. This

1:10:23.800 --> 1:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>is fascinating. This is the White House Press secretary. They

1:10:25.640 --> 1:10:28.839
<v Speaker 1>always claimed they're about facts in truth. If a majority

1:10:28.840 --> 1:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of the people are being turned away, okay, give us

1:10:30.720 --> 1:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the numbers, give us the data. What are they won't though,

1:10:33.880 --> 1:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they say, oh no, you gotta go somewhere else for that,

1:10:36.120 --> 1:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and we don't have that number right now, you got

1:10:38.080 --> 1:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to go to DHS for that number. Well, then how

1:10:39.800 --> 1:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>can they know if a majority of the people, a

1:10:41.680 --> 1:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>vast majority, i think is what she said, are being

1:10:44.080 --> 1:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>turned away, they're lying, do you, folks, They're lying to you?

1:10:47.080 --> 1:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Because this is a this is a problem right now.

1:10:49.680 --> 1:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>It's so obvious what's going on and what is an

1:10:52.200 --> 1:10:54.719
<v Speaker 1>open border. An open border is one in which people

1:10:54.760 --> 1:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>can just come with a belief that they'll be able

1:10:57.439 --> 1:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to stay in a country. That's what's going on in

1:11:00.720 --> 1:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>our southern border right now. I mean, yeah, there's if

1:11:03.960 --> 1:11:05.599
<v Speaker 1>you show up and they have you in the system

1:11:05.680 --> 1:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>as like a mass murder or something. I'm sure there

1:11:07.560 --> 1:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>are some circumstances where they're not going to let you

1:11:10.080 --> 1:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>into the country at all, But overwhelmingly, it seems if

1:11:15.280 --> 1:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you just show up and say you're fleeing a violence,

1:11:17.439 --> 1:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>you have a credible fear you're going to get to

1:11:19.520 --> 1:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>stay in. That's why they're all coming. If they were

1:11:22.360 --> 1:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>all being turned back, they would stop coming. We've already

1:11:25.160 --> 1:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>run this experiment, we've seen how this plays out. But

1:11:28.439 --> 1:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>also they won't they won't even admit that it's a

1:11:30.160 --> 1:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>real crisis. Play eighteen. Now today there are we're thirty

1:11:34.439 --> 1:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred children, unaccompanied minor children in border for chronic custody.

1:11:39.000 --> 1:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>They're spending on average over one hundred hours four days

1:11:42.439 --> 1:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>in these facilities that are jail like facilities, not meant

1:11:45.240 --> 1:11:49.559
<v Speaker 1>for children. So how can you say that's not a crisis. Well,

1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I think what Ambassador Jacobson and Secretary Yorkists were conveying

1:11:54.920 --> 1:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and what I've conveyed is it doesn't matter what you

1:11:57.920 --> 1:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>call it. It is an enormous challenge. Well then why

1:12:02.400 --> 1:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>not just admit that it's a crisis. Right, it doesn't

1:12:05.000 --> 1:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>matter what you call it, but we won't call it

1:12:06.800 --> 1:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the thing that it obviously is this is a classic

1:12:09.479 --> 1:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Democrat moment, and it's amazing. Bit Jensaki is the White

1:12:11.960 --> 1:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>House Press secretary, It honestly is really. I mean, look,

1:12:15.400 --> 1:12:17.599
<v Speaker 1>there have been some Republican White House Press secretaries too

1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that I thought, you know, we're not very we're not

1:12:19.479 --> 1:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>very competent of the job. But this goes to show you.

1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you just got to be up there

1:12:23.920 --> 1:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>and keep on spinning, keep on spewing the nonsense. It

1:12:28.560 --> 1:12:30.639
<v Speaker 1>does matter what you call it because the public's attention

1:12:30.720 --> 1:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>on this change is depending on what the description of

1:12:32.800 --> 1:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the situation is. And she knows that, which is why

1:12:35.120 --> 1:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>she won't call it a crisis. We're not dumb. We

1:12:37.040 --> 1:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>understand what's going on here. We see what's actually happening here.

1:12:41.680 --> 1:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>So I just wish there would be a little bit

1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>more honesty from the Democrats. But we know that's not

1:12:46.200 --> 1:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>going to happen because there now is their window. They

1:12:49.880 --> 1:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>view it as this is when they can get away

1:12:51.439 --> 1:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>the American people. You know that the Democrats won this election.

1:12:54.640 --> 1:12:56.920
<v Speaker 1>They did all these shenanigans. They convinced people that Trump

1:12:57.200 --> 1:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>basically created the virus himself and was they and all

1:13:00.400 --> 1:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, all these lines, all these promises. Now is

1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>when they think they can get away with all the

1:13:04.720 --> 1:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>progressive insanity because within you know, six to nine months

1:13:09.320 --> 1:13:11.320
<v Speaker 1>of now, we're going to see the results and say,

1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:13.759
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, just like we saw into the Obama administration,

1:13:13.800 --> 1:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and the Democrats are actually bad at governance. It is

1:13:16.080 --> 1:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>time for the voice of God. That's right, our friend

1:13:19.240 --> 1:13:21.880
<v Speaker 1>God side is with us now. He is the author

1:13:21.960 --> 1:13:27.559
<v Speaker 1>of the parasitic mind. How infectious ideas are killing common sense? God? Good,

1:13:27.760 --> 1:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>good to talk to you again. Thank you so much

1:13:30.439 --> 1:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>for chatting with me. Yeah. I mean, this is a

1:13:32.680 --> 1:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>time when it seems that ideas killing common sense. It's

1:13:36.840 --> 1:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>happening more now than ever before. We're getting rid of cartoons,

1:13:40.520 --> 1:13:44.479
<v Speaker 1>we're pretending that there's no real biological difference between men

1:13:44.520 --> 1:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and women, that this doesn't even matter in sports or

1:13:47.000 --> 1:13:51.560
<v Speaker 1>in military combat roles, that it just there's all this

1:13:51.800 --> 1:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>out there that people that believe there is such a

1:13:54.439 --> 1:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>thing as common sense would have to say, this is

1:13:56.800 --> 1:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>contrary to that. What is going on? Right, So, the

1:14:00.960 --> 1:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>general idea is that there's a bunch of idea pathogens

1:14:06.520 --> 1:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>that were spawned on university campuses maybe forty fifty years ago,

1:14:13.600 --> 1:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>each of which eradicates part of our edifices of reason.

1:14:18.280 --> 1:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And so that's exactly what I explained in the Parasitic Mine.

1:14:21.160 --> 1:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I basically argue that very much the way we today

1:14:24.479 --> 1:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>have the COVID pandemic, we've had a raging pandemic of

1:14:28.760 --> 1:14:32.879
<v Speaker 1>the human mind, whereby these parasitic ideas have completely removed

1:14:32.920 --> 1:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>our capacity to recognize that there is such a thing

1:14:35.640 --> 1:14:38.439
<v Speaker 1>as the sun above us, that there is left right down,

1:14:38.960 --> 1:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>up down, that there is such a thing as women menstruating.

1:14:42.400 --> 1:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And so each of these dreadful departures from common sense

1:14:47.080 --> 1:14:50.479
<v Speaker 1>comes from a different idea pathogen. So maybe I can

1:14:50.600 --> 1:14:54.719
<v Speaker 1>discuss a few if you'd like. So. Postmodernism, for example,

1:14:55.000 --> 1:14:58.439
<v Speaker 1>is arguably the granddaddy of all idea pathogens, because it

1:14:58.560 --> 1:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>purports that there are no universe, so truth, there's no objectivity.

1:15:02.240 --> 1:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>We are completely shackled by our personal body. Where does

1:15:05.920 --> 1:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>this come from? I mean, give us a little For

1:15:07.200 --> 1:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks, well, we'll hear the term postmodernism,

1:15:09.760 --> 1:15:12.240
<v Speaker 1>which even as a term it sounds kind of bizarre.

1:15:12.800 --> 1:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>What what is modern and what is post I mean,

1:15:15.120 --> 1:15:17.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, where do we put this in the in

1:15:17.560 --> 1:15:19.519
<v Speaker 1>the timeline of the history of ideas? So just to

1:15:19.560 --> 1:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>give us a little sense of where does this come from? Yeah? So,

1:15:22.360 --> 1:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of the original famous postmodernists were

1:15:25.880 --> 1:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>French intellectuals, or Jacques Derrida, Jacques la and in there

1:15:32.160 --> 1:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in each in their own way, they wanted to contextualize

1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>truth within some relativistic framework. Right. So Jacques Derrida argued that,

1:15:42.280 --> 1:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, language creates reality, and therefore this is what

1:15:45.320 --> 1:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>he called deconstructionism. You deconstruct labels and language because that's

1:15:50.360 --> 1:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>what creates reality. There's you know, there's no reality outside

1:15:54.040 --> 1:15:56.479
<v Speaker 1>of the language that is used to describe reality. And

1:15:56.600 --> 1:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>so this kind of framework might be appropriate when you

1:16:00.120 --> 1:16:04.519
<v Speaker 1>or you know, studying some literary narrative or some art movement,

1:16:04.840 --> 1:16:08.400
<v Speaker 1>but it becomes problematic when it becomes an epistemology. Right.

1:16:08.479 --> 1:16:13.520
<v Speaker 1>The scientific method is liberating and is the grand epistemological

1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>tool that we use precisely because it offers us a

1:16:16.200 --> 1:16:20.920
<v Speaker 1>very unbiased way by which we adjudicate hypotheses. Right, Well,

1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>postmodernism comes along and serves as a form of intellectual terrorism. Right.

1:16:25.360 --> 1:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I always analogize the nine to eleven hijackers who flew

1:16:29.520 --> 1:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>planes onto our buildings are akin to the postmodernist, except

1:16:33.080 --> 1:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>that the post postmodernists are flying planes of bs into

1:16:37.960 --> 1:16:41.479
<v Speaker 1>our edifices of reasons. So it's complete nihilism, it's complete lunacy.

1:16:41.720 --> 1:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>So that would be one example of how you can

1:16:44.240 --> 1:16:46.439
<v Speaker 1>get an idea pathogen. Do you want me to discuss

1:16:46.600 --> 1:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>other ones. Yes, of course, take us through the idea pathogens, right, So,

1:16:50.040 --> 1:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>for example, take now militant feminism. Well, it starts off

1:16:54.720 --> 1:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>as a laudable idea. Equity feminism is something that you

1:16:57.960 --> 1:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and I would certainly agree with women should not be

1:17:01.560 --> 1:17:05.320
<v Speaker 1>somehow different under the law, and of course we would

1:17:05.360 --> 1:17:07.479
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. The problem is that in the service

1:17:07.560 --> 1:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>of that laudable objective, militant feminism comes along and it

1:17:11.439 --> 1:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>metamorphosizes the original good idea into the following. There are

1:17:16.280 --> 1:17:19.599
<v Speaker 1>no innate sex differences between men and women. All sex

1:17:19.720 --> 1:17:22.400
<v Speaker 1>differences must be due to the patriarchy, must be due

1:17:22.439 --> 1:17:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to toxic mosculinity, must be due to social constructivism, which

1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:30.600
<v Speaker 1>itself is another idea pathogen. So we engaite truth in

1:17:30.720 --> 1:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the service of a laudable goal, and I argue that

1:17:34.000 --> 1:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I could chew gum and walk at the same time,

1:17:36.360 --> 1:17:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I could completely get behind the pursuit of laudable social

1:17:40.280 --> 1:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>justice goals without ever seeting a millimeter of truth in

1:17:44.000 --> 1:17:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that service. So what now are the other idea pathogens

1:17:50.200 --> 1:17:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that are driving us to this cancelation frenzy. Well, so

1:17:55.880 --> 1:17:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the cancelation frenzy comes from several mechanisms, one of which,

1:17:59.439 --> 1:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>so here I analogize. If you look at Isis, for example,

1:18:02.800 --> 1:18:05.479
<v Speaker 1>most of the people that Isis killed were not non

1:18:05.800 --> 1:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Muslims or as they say, the Kuffar, the infidels. Most

1:18:09.000 --> 1:18:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of the people that they killed were fellow Muslims who

1:18:11.040 --> 1:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>weren't muslim enough, or at least, according to them, weren't

1:18:14.000 --> 1:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>puritanical enough in the pursuit of their faith. Well, that's

1:18:17.240 --> 1:18:20.920
<v Speaker 1>what happens with progressivism. It I don't need to go

1:18:21.080 --> 1:18:25.360
<v Speaker 1>after those being Trump supporters. I could turn inward at

1:18:25.439 --> 1:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>my progressive club and start canceling those who are not

1:18:29.520 --> 1:18:32.479
<v Speaker 1>woke enough. So it's it's a reflex that you see

1:18:32.560 --> 1:18:36.360
<v Speaker 1>in all sorts of fatalitarian ideologies, where it's I call

1:18:36.439 --> 1:18:40.479
<v Speaker 1>it a form of orgiastic self cannibalism, the proverbial, you know,

1:18:40.760 --> 1:18:43.439
<v Speaker 1>snake eating its own tail. So I think this is

1:18:43.479 --> 1:18:46.240
<v Speaker 1>what ends up happening with the cancel culture. Right JK.

1:18:46.520 --> 1:18:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Rolling the Harry Potter author. You would have thought she

1:18:50.360 --> 1:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>had the full bonifiti credentials as a progressive. Well guess

1:18:54.680 --> 1:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>what once she said the horrifying statement that only you

1:18:58.800 --> 1:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>know what do you mean? Women menstruate? Isn't that what

1:19:01.320 --> 1:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>we call them women. People went completely after her. So

1:19:04.400 --> 1:19:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you think that you are progressive, or

1:19:07.160 --> 1:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you think you're a Muslim won't protect

1:19:10.160 --> 1:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you from the Isis brigade or the walk brigade. Now

1:19:13.400 --> 1:19:15.920
<v Speaker 1>we're speaking to God side. He's the author of the

1:19:16.040 --> 1:19:20.920
<v Speaker 1>parasitic mind. How infectious ideas are killing common sense? You know, God,

1:19:21.880 --> 1:19:25.160
<v Speaker 1>There's there's another another thing that I always wonder about,

1:19:26.240 --> 1:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, virtue signaling and and a kind of intellectual

1:19:30.320 --> 1:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>vanity seems to me to be the most the most

1:19:34.120 --> 1:19:37.599
<v Speaker 1>apparent reason for a lot of why people push this stuff.

1:19:37.640 --> 1:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Because it seems to me that you can have a

1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>very cheap source of patting oneself on the back or

1:19:44.400 --> 1:19:47.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a examples of this would be doing things

1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>like putting the black square on your Instagram right like

1:19:51.080 --> 1:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>everyone says, Oh, you're a good person because you did this.

1:19:53.439 --> 1:19:57.400
<v Speaker 1>It costs you nothing, You take no actual risk because

1:19:57.479 --> 1:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of what the trends are at the time. Is that

1:20:00.520 --> 1:20:02.880
<v Speaker 1>what's pushing this? Why do people want to do this?

1:20:03.240 --> 1:20:07.120
<v Speaker 1>What is the appeal? You know, parasites sneak into your system,

1:20:07.479 --> 1:20:10.400
<v Speaker 1>often say through your food, and so that's how they

1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:12.519
<v Speaker 1>get there. But this is like people. It's almost like

1:20:12.560 --> 1:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>people are saying, no, give me the parasite. Why So

1:20:16.640 --> 1:20:18.839
<v Speaker 1>let me answer the first part about the virtue signaling.

1:20:19.720 --> 1:20:21.920
<v Speaker 1>So in my book, I have a whole section where

1:20:22.000 --> 1:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I contrast virtue signaling versus costly signaling, and the distinction

1:20:28.880 --> 1:20:33.280
<v Speaker 1>is actually rooted in a very profound evolutionary biological framework.

1:20:33.280 --> 1:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>So maybe I could take him an order to explain it. So,

1:20:35.120 --> 1:20:38.200
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the peacock's tail, his tale couldn't

1:20:38.240 --> 1:20:41.880
<v Speaker 1>have evolved through natural selection because having a big tail

1:20:42.280 --> 1:20:45.040
<v Speaker 1>makes it actually less likely that you will survive. So

1:20:45.160 --> 1:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>how could evolution have led to such a big tail

1:20:48.240 --> 1:20:51.640
<v Speaker 1>when it reduces the animals survivability? While the answer to

1:20:51.760 --> 1:20:54.799
<v Speaker 1>that is through a process of sexual selection. The PN

1:20:54.920 --> 1:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the female is choosing this smile with the big tail

1:20:58.400 --> 1:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>because the tail serves as an honest signal and saying, look,

1:21:03.600 --> 1:21:06.760
<v Speaker 1>despite the fact that I've got this burdensome tail that

1:21:06.960 --> 1:21:10.800
<v Speaker 1>reduces my survivability, I'm still here, So you should be

1:21:10.960 --> 1:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>picking me as your optimal mate. So for a signal

1:21:14.080 --> 1:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to be for a signal to be valuable, it must

1:21:18.000 --> 1:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>be handicapping. Therein lies the problem between virtue signaling and

1:21:22.439 --> 1:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>costly signaling. Most people put hashtag in justrihar Charlie, which

1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>carries a zero risk. Try to speak out against the

1:21:30.320 --> 1:21:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Saudi government while you are a blogger in Saudi Arabia.

1:21:33.800 --> 1:21:37.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a costly signal. That's exactly what rife Beta we did.

1:21:37.120 --> 1:21:39.439
<v Speaker 1>He's been in prison now for six seven years in

1:21:39.520 --> 1:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia because he dared criticize the Saudi government. So

1:21:42.840 --> 1:21:45.800
<v Speaker 1>for most people, they think that simply by engaging in

1:21:45.920 --> 1:21:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that fatuous virtue signaling, it will get them the brownie points.

1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>But someone who understands evolutionary biology knows that they are

1:21:52.479 --> 1:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>utter frauds, so it doesn't even provide them the same benefit.

1:21:57.080 --> 1:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>The level of benefit that they assume is that is

1:21:58.920 --> 1:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that basically what you're telling It's like if everybody in

1:22:01.160 --> 1:22:05.360
<v Speaker 1>New York City puts up, you know, hashtag double mask,

1:22:05.439 --> 1:22:08.120
<v Speaker 1>which is something for example, that drives me completely insane.

1:22:08.160 --> 1:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, you and I could talk, we

1:22:09.880 --> 1:22:12.080
<v Speaker 1>should actually talk a little bit about the science and

1:22:12.160 --> 1:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the notion of the science as a thing that is

1:22:14.880 --> 1:22:17.439
<v Speaker 1>that is true and factual and objectively measured, when they

1:22:17.479 --> 1:22:22.000
<v Speaker 1>actually mean policy judgment and an often arbitrary decision making

1:22:22.360 --> 1:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>But so if everyone writes double mask in New York City,

1:22:25.240 --> 1:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, aren't they showing each other that they're good

1:22:27.720 --> 1:22:30.360
<v Speaker 1>people even if it's not particularly valuable since it costs

1:22:30.400 --> 1:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>them nothing. Why not, right? I mean, even if it's

1:22:34.000 --> 1:22:37.439
<v Speaker 1>if it's just a quick dopamine hit of I'm part

1:22:37.479 --> 1:22:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of the mob. Sure, you're not going to elevate yourself.

1:22:41.160 --> 1:22:43.679
<v Speaker 1>But isn't being part of the crowd the whole point?

1:22:44.479 --> 1:22:47.719
<v Speaker 1>But as long as so what you're saying is true,

1:22:48.080 --> 1:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>as long as I can create the sterile echo chamber

1:22:51.600 --> 1:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>where every member of that echo chamber is equally duplicitous

1:22:55.600 --> 1:22:58.479
<v Speaker 1>and fraudulent as I am, right, But once we bring

1:22:58.640 --> 1:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>in doctor Good Looks also known as God Sad to

1:23:02.520 --> 1:23:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the mix, then I'm going to smash you into oblivion

1:23:05.520 --> 1:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>because I realize that you're a fraud. So this is

1:23:07.760 --> 1:23:10.960
<v Speaker 1>why you need to regulate people's speech. This is why

1:23:11.400 --> 1:23:14.559
<v Speaker 1>God Sad becomes a pariah in academia because I am

1:23:14.720 --> 1:23:19.280
<v Speaker 1>disrupting their sterile echo chambers. Why is this guy calling

1:23:19.439 --> 1:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>us out on our fraudulent behavior. Can't he just fall

1:23:23.080 --> 1:23:27.799
<v Speaker 1>into line and also come up with a hashtag Charlie

1:23:28.360 --> 1:23:30.400
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that's one of the reasons why my mockery.

1:23:30.880 --> 1:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Not only is it very effective, but it causes great

1:23:34.200 --> 1:23:36.720
<v Speaker 1>concern to many of my colleagues. Some of them end

1:23:36.840 --> 1:23:40.240
<v Speaker 1>up on following me because there is no greater, more

1:23:40.439 --> 1:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>powerful persuasive strategy than to use satire to demonstrate that

1:23:45.400 --> 1:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you're a complete charlatan. We're speaking to God Sad, author

1:23:50.120 --> 1:23:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Parasitic Mind, how infectious ideas are killing common sense? God,

1:23:54.040 --> 1:23:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I want to take a quick moment here, a quick

1:23:55.479 --> 1:23:59.200
<v Speaker 1>beat where to come back and ask you about the

1:24:00.000 --> 1:24:04.360
<v Speaker 1>actious idea around the infection of COVID that people should

1:24:04.360 --> 1:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>just listen to doctor Faucier. You're up for that. I

1:24:07.200 --> 1:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>am up. Let's try it all right. We're back with

1:24:09.000 --> 1:24:12.599
<v Speaker 1>author Godside, author of the Parasitic Mind, How infectious ideas

1:24:12.640 --> 1:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>are killing common sense. You can get it right now

1:24:14.479 --> 1:24:17.240
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon or wherever you get your books. God, I

1:24:17.320 --> 1:24:18.680
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you about this because you know, a

1:24:18.800 --> 1:24:22.639
<v Speaker 1>year ago you're talking about about infectious ideas, and obviously

1:24:22.720 --> 1:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going through a great actual viral infection right now

1:24:25.360 --> 1:24:29.960
<v Speaker 1>with this pandemic a year ago, Doctor Fauci and I

1:24:30.360 --> 1:24:33.880
<v Speaker 1>keep using this as the basis for my argument that

1:24:33.920 --> 1:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>we've been listening to this notion of the science or

1:24:36.720 --> 1:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>faucism as I call it uncritically, and that people have

1:24:39.960 --> 1:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>become largely brainwashed and they act like sheep and they

1:24:42.680 --> 1:24:44.960
<v Speaker 1>just do whatever they're told. And this is why I've

1:24:44.960 --> 1:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>been able to predict things months and months in advance.

1:24:47.439 --> 1:24:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Like I guarantee you folks, he will start to say, oh,

1:24:50.680 --> 1:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we need double masking or oh we need an ninety

1:24:52.880 --> 1:24:54.519
<v Speaker 1>five masks. I've been saying that since the summer of

1:24:54.600 --> 1:25:00.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, and sure enough, here we are the I

1:25:00.040 --> 1:25:03.320
<v Speaker 1>am the Faucci made that the science did not support masking,

1:25:03.840 --> 1:25:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and then to switch over to actually, we all need

1:25:07.040 --> 1:25:10.719
<v Speaker 1>to be masking because the science says So this caught

1:25:10.800 --> 1:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>on like wildfire, and this caught on like the virus

1:25:13.400 --> 1:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>itself in a sense, you know, mentally with people. Why

1:25:16.400 --> 1:25:18.200
<v Speaker 1>why do you think that? Because to me, it seems

1:25:18.240 --> 1:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>like that's just there's a bunch of different factors you

1:25:21.360 --> 1:25:23.439
<v Speaker 1>can point to. But this is a perfect idea of

1:25:24.000 --> 1:25:26.559
<v Speaker 1>a rather a perfect example of a parasitic idea, which

1:25:26.640 --> 1:25:29.160
<v Speaker 1>is just listen to Fauci and the state and you'll

1:25:29.200 --> 1:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>be safe. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean there's a lot to

1:25:32.360 --> 1:25:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the couple there so one thing I would say, and

1:25:34.520 --> 1:25:37.040
<v Speaker 1>this is something that I discuss in the context of

1:25:37.040 --> 1:25:39.479
<v Speaker 1>the parasitic mind, but more generally in terms of how

1:25:39.520 --> 1:25:42.280
<v Speaker 1>do you seek truth? And so in chapter seven of

1:25:42.400 --> 1:25:44.519
<v Speaker 1>my book, I talk about something that I referred to

1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:48.479
<v Speaker 1>as nomological networks of cumulative evidence. If I want to

1:25:48.560 --> 1:25:51.679
<v Speaker 1>prove to you scientifically that the position that I'm taking

1:25:51.920 --> 1:25:55.120
<v Speaker 1>is correct, it's actually a very very hard process. I

1:25:55.240 --> 1:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>will get data from you from across cultures, from a

1:25:57.800 --> 1:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>cross time period, from a cross methodologies, from a cross frameworks,

1:26:03.160 --> 1:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>across dependent measures, all of which, if they point in

1:26:06.640 --> 1:26:10.519
<v Speaker 1>the same direction, then results in a tsunami of evidence

1:26:10.600 --> 1:26:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in support of my position. So when you're doing that,

1:26:13.840 --> 1:26:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you also recognize the flip side, which is epistemic humility.

1:26:17.400 --> 1:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Epistemic humility is when a scientist knows what he or

1:26:21.880 --> 1:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>she knows and knows what he or she doesn't know.

1:26:25.280 --> 1:26:30.400
<v Speaker 1>The problem with Fauci is he's got zero epistemic humility, right,

1:26:30.479 --> 1:26:35.160
<v Speaker 1>So in other words, he always pronounces positions that are

1:26:35.240 --> 1:26:39.240
<v Speaker 1>going to have gigantic downstream effects on hundreds of millions

1:26:39.280 --> 1:26:42.439
<v Speaker 1>of people, even though on Monday he said a and

1:26:42.560 --> 1:26:45.799
<v Speaker 1>then Tuesday he says not a Now most people follow

1:26:45.920 --> 1:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know, he's wearing the proverbial white robe. And

1:26:49.080 --> 1:26:53.640
<v Speaker 1>so if Lord his Eminence Fauci says skip, then we

1:26:53.720 --> 1:26:56.479
<v Speaker 1>all skip along. It becomes a fast and frugal heuristic

1:26:56.840 --> 1:26:59.639
<v Speaker 1>for us to organize our lives. Not unlike, by the way,

1:26:59.680 --> 1:27:02.920
<v Speaker 1>how religion achieves the same thing. If my mom or

1:27:03.040 --> 1:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>my rabbi or my priest says you have to do this,

1:27:06.040 --> 1:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't question it. I do it. Well, Now we

1:27:08.680 --> 1:27:11.519
<v Speaker 1>do have a grand priest of quote science. His name

1:27:11.640 --> 1:27:15.840
<v Speaker 1>is Fauci, So shut up and obey rupe. Yeah, that's

1:27:16.000 --> 1:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what we see happening. And it's been happening now

1:27:18.160 --> 1:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>for many, many months. And I also think that that

1:27:21.000 --> 1:27:23.599
<v Speaker 1>one problem I wanted to broaden this out a little bit,

1:27:23.640 --> 1:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>but but the Fauci point, I think is an example

1:27:26.360 --> 1:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>of it, and that is that people when you tell

1:27:29.400 --> 1:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>them they have what you what you describe as a

1:27:31.280 --> 1:27:35.920
<v Speaker 1>parasitic idea, I think there's a sense of of I

1:27:36.000 --> 1:27:38.479
<v Speaker 1>don't know vanity is the right word, but perhaps an

1:27:38.640 --> 1:27:42.040
<v Speaker 1>arrogance that turns into a delusion. Oh, I'm not caught

1:27:42.120 --> 1:27:44.160
<v Speaker 1>up in an idea that doesn't make any sense, that

1:27:44.320 --> 1:27:48.479
<v Speaker 1>isn't supported I'm too smart to be fooled in that way, exactly. Look,

1:27:49.320 --> 1:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the capacity for human beings to engage in self deception

1:27:54.200 --> 1:27:56.360
<v Speaker 1>is infinite. I'll tell you a very quick story. I

1:27:56.520 --> 1:27:58.760
<v Speaker 1>walk into class. I haven't done in a few years,

1:27:58.800 --> 1:28:00.639
<v Speaker 1>but I used to come to class and I would

1:28:00.640 --> 1:28:04.360
<v Speaker 1>ask students to pull out a paper and then write

1:28:04.400 --> 1:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>down whether they think of themselves as below below average

1:28:09.120 --> 1:28:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and intelligence, average and intelligence or above average intelligence. And

1:28:13.200 --> 1:28:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I would ask them to do the same thing regarding

1:28:15.439 --> 1:28:19.719
<v Speaker 1>their looks. Well, it turns out, Buck that my students

1:28:19.760 --> 1:28:26.040
<v Speaker 1>are always supermodel Einstein's meaning what they all We tend

1:28:26.120 --> 1:28:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to have an erroneous sense of ourselves right now, and

1:28:30.760 --> 1:28:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to some extent, that's a good thing. You want to

1:28:33.760 --> 1:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of walk around life with a chip on your

1:28:36.439 --> 1:28:39.800
<v Speaker 1>shoulder so that you could tackle life's challenges. But as

1:28:39.880 --> 1:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>you pointed to your original question, people have this uncanny

1:28:43.439 --> 1:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>ability to self deceive. Oh no, no, I couldn't be

1:28:46.120 --> 1:28:49.599
<v Speaker 1>engaging in faulties thinking I'm too smart for that. Therein

1:28:49.720 --> 1:28:51.640
<v Speaker 1>lies the problem, and that's why you need to be

1:28:51.720 --> 1:28:55.439
<v Speaker 1>reading the parasitic mind. Give us just what the case.

1:28:56.360 --> 1:28:59.639
<v Speaker 1>You've got a couple of minutes here, God, the case

1:28:59.720 --> 1:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>for optimism about how our society can get through this.

1:29:04.360 --> 1:29:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I won't even say will, but can get through this

1:29:05.960 --> 1:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>because right now it feels like the bad guys are winning.

1:29:09.160 --> 1:29:12.519
<v Speaker 1>It feels like the parasitic ideas have taken. Parasites like

1:29:12.600 --> 1:29:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to stay on a host. They don't like to kill

1:29:14.640 --> 1:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the host, usually because they want to continue to feed

1:29:17.000 --> 1:29:19.120
<v Speaker 1>off of it. It starts to feel like the parasitic

1:29:19.200 --> 1:29:22.760
<v Speaker 1>ideas in our society could actually kill off a free

1:29:22.840 --> 1:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>society like America. Look, there are a couple of things

1:29:27.200 --> 1:29:30.839
<v Speaker 1>that might sound cliche ish, but they're actually quite profound

1:29:30.880 --> 1:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>because most people are unable to meet the challenge. So

1:29:33.400 --> 1:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>let me give you a couple. Number one, don't contract

1:29:37.600 --> 1:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>your voice to others. In other words, a lot of

1:29:40.320 --> 1:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>people will say, well, I don't have your fancy professorship,

1:29:44.280 --> 1:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't have your big platform to affect change. Well

1:29:47.360 --> 1:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, but you don't have to have a

1:29:49.200 --> 1:29:52.639
<v Speaker 1>large platform. You could still affect change within your unique

1:29:52.640 --> 1:29:57.800
<v Speaker 1>sphere of influence. If your principle starts imposing in saying,

1:29:58.200 --> 1:30:02.599
<v Speaker 1>teaching lessons at your it's elementary school, intervene, write an

1:30:02.680 --> 1:30:06.360
<v Speaker 1>email request to see them. If your friend says something

1:30:06.439 --> 1:30:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook on Facebook that is completely insane. Challenge them politely.

1:30:10.439 --> 1:30:13.080
<v Speaker 1>If your professor says something that you think is wrong,

1:30:13.400 --> 1:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>challenge him or her politely. In other words, we all

1:30:16.240 --> 1:30:19.360
<v Speaker 1>have a voice to affect, however big or small, a

1:30:19.479 --> 1:30:22.120
<v Speaker 1>change that we can A second thing that you can

1:30:22.160 --> 1:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>certainly do is what I call activate your inner honey badger.

1:30:25.520 --> 1:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>The honey badger is an extraordinarily fierce animal. It's the

1:30:28.760 --> 1:30:31.000
<v Speaker 1>size of a small dog, and yet it could withstand

1:30:31.040 --> 1:30:34.200
<v Speaker 1>an attack of six adult lines. How does it do that?

1:30:34.520 --> 1:30:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Because it's insane. It is so fierce that nobody will

1:30:38.120 --> 1:30:40.719
<v Speaker 1>approach it. Well, you need to have that same sense

1:30:40.800 --> 1:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>of ferocity when it comes to defending your principles, if

1:30:45.240 --> 1:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>they are well articulated and well reasoned. This is why

1:30:48.560 --> 1:30:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you know some people ask, well, how come you're not

1:30:50.320 --> 1:30:53.040
<v Speaker 1>cancelable professors at Well, because I'm a honey badger. If

1:30:53.080 --> 1:30:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you come after me, you better not miss, because I'm

1:30:55.400 --> 1:30:58.599
<v Speaker 1>coming back after you ten times harder. And so there

1:30:58.720 --> 1:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>are reflexes that we can foster in us, so that

1:31:02.800 --> 1:31:07.280
<v Speaker 1>if in unison we all stand up together by next Tuesday,

1:31:07.360 --> 1:31:10.439
<v Speaker 1>we'll destroy all the parasitic ideas. If not, it'll be

1:31:10.560 --> 1:31:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a long long train ride to help the parasitic mind.

1:31:14.320 --> 1:31:17.719
<v Speaker 1>How infectious ideas are killing common sense? Our friend, God sad.

1:31:18.240 --> 1:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>God appreciate it. Man, thanks so much for joining us,

1:31:20.439 --> 1:31:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and everyone should check out the book. Thank you, buddy.

1:31:23.040 --> 1:31:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Great talking to your cheers. The show ain't over yet, folks.

1:31:29.360 --> 1:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time for roll call producer Mark, you ready for

1:31:37.280 --> 1:31:39.519
<v Speaker 1>the weekend? My friend? What did it tell? Tell everybody?

1:31:39.600 --> 1:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>What's on the producer? Mark? Uh? You know, list of

1:31:43.479 --> 1:31:46.599
<v Speaker 1>awesome things that he wants to do. I'm gonna celebrate

1:31:46.680 --> 1:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Saint Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish at all, but it's

1:31:49.880 --> 1:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>an excuse to be with my friends and drink. Isn't that?

1:31:53.520 --> 1:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it this weekend? I think it's like Wednesday? Yeah,

1:31:56.840 --> 1:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like the seventeenth I think, isn't it? Yeah? It

1:31:58.880 --> 1:32:01.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter when you sell them, right, It's just an

1:32:01.760 --> 1:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>excuse to celebrate. But what is this now? So you

1:32:04.400 --> 1:32:06.719
<v Speaker 1>guys are gonna stand, you know, twenty feet apart outside

1:32:06.800 --> 1:32:08.800
<v Speaker 1>drinking green beer. How are you gonna? How are you

1:32:08.800 --> 1:32:12.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna celebrate? But that it depends on who's asking. Well,

1:32:12.479 --> 1:32:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I got you okay enough? I like I like where

1:32:15.040 --> 1:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>your heads out on that one? So that's nice. You're

1:32:17.200 --> 1:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be outdoors, you're gonna be indoors. What's the plan?

1:32:19.240 --> 1:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess it depends on the weather. I don't I

1:32:20.720 --> 1:32:22.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the weather is like in uh, in

1:32:22.920 --> 1:32:24.479
<v Speaker 1>this neck of the woods this weekend. But it's been

1:32:24.600 --> 1:32:27.960
<v Speaker 1>nice out, so maybe we will go outside. Fair enough?

1:32:28.320 --> 1:32:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough? All right, missus Mark, have any fun plans? Well,

1:32:32.680 --> 1:32:35.439
<v Speaker 1>usually she's with me. I'm just making I don't know.

1:32:35.600 --> 1:32:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe she let's see, it's like the guys do the

1:32:37.400 --> 1:32:39.519
<v Speaker 1>same Patrick's Day thing. I don't know, just it was

1:32:39.560 --> 1:32:41.519
<v Speaker 1>just an idea. One of my friends had an excuse

1:32:41.600 --> 1:32:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to hang out. Yeah are you a beer drinker? Um? Yeah,

1:32:46.960 --> 1:32:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's my number one, but yeah,

1:32:48.560 --> 1:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>absolutely do you have like what is what is the

1:32:52.320 --> 1:32:56.479
<v Speaker 1>beer when you walk into a bar that you order? Um? Well,

1:32:56.640 --> 1:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>usually bars will have fairly common beers. So like maybe

1:32:59.760 --> 1:33:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a blue moon? Like, well that's what I mean? Yeah,

1:33:02.320 --> 1:33:03.960
<v Speaker 1>oh you're a blue Are you a blue moon with

1:33:04.000 --> 1:33:08.599
<v Speaker 1>an orange slice? Guy? Look at you? Look at bougie Mark. Everybody.

1:33:08.680 --> 1:33:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I had a feeling. We know there's we know there's

1:33:11.000 --> 1:33:15.120
<v Speaker 1>lots of it's very blue moon with an orange slice?

1:33:15.840 --> 1:33:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Producer Mark You're talking to a lot of people across

1:33:17.760 --> 1:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the country who drink bud Light, damn it, and there

1:33:20.040 --> 1:33:23.400
<v Speaker 1>they love it. I have no problem. I like bud Light,

1:33:23.520 --> 1:33:26.519
<v Speaker 1>but you know, if I'm drinking a beer to enjoy myself,

1:33:26.600 --> 1:33:29.679
<v Speaker 1>I prefer not even just blue Moon, like that type

1:33:29.680 --> 1:33:30.960
<v Speaker 1>of beer. I don't even know what it's called. I

1:33:31.080 --> 1:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>see you drink it, some delirium tremens, you know that,

1:33:33.479 --> 1:33:35.960
<v Speaker 1>like fancy Belgian beer that people have. I do like

1:33:36.080 --> 1:33:38.879
<v Speaker 1>the Belgian German style beer. Oh yeah, that stuff is delicious.

1:33:38.880 --> 1:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I used to drink beer, so I know about these things.

1:33:40.840 --> 1:33:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Now I can't drink it. Don't they have good gluten

1:33:42.680 --> 1:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>free beers now? Nah? Not really. They've got good cider

1:33:47.200 --> 1:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>because it's made from fruit and not from grain. But

1:33:50.479 --> 1:33:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the problem with like, you'll drink a big thing aside,

1:33:53.200 --> 1:33:56.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like double the sugar that you'll even get in

1:33:56.280 --> 1:34:00.479
<v Speaker 1>a Coca Cola. It's terrible for you. Ciders delicious, but

1:34:00.600 --> 1:34:05.679
<v Speaker 1>the seltzers are all very good. Wow, it's producer Mark.

1:34:05.720 --> 1:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate this. Producer Mark is so confident in his

1:34:08.520 --> 1:34:11.320
<v Speaker 1>producer markness that he is letting all of America know

1:34:11.520 --> 1:34:14.320
<v Speaker 1>right now that he drinks white Claw, and he's not

1:34:14.400 --> 1:34:17.519
<v Speaker 1>ashamed of it. It is there's no better summer drink

1:34:18.000 --> 1:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>than a white claw or a bud Light Seltzer. Even

1:34:20.920 --> 1:34:23.040
<v Speaker 1>they've come out with bud Light lemonades, which I'm very

1:34:23.080 --> 1:34:25.479
<v Speaker 1>interested in. John. I'm just telling you, I there's like

1:34:25.920 --> 1:34:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ten percent right now of our listeners across the country

1:34:29.600 --> 1:34:31.479
<v Speaker 1>are not in their heads up and down. Producer Mark

1:34:31.560 --> 1:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>knows it's delicious, and I'd say, you know, it is

1:34:33.640 --> 1:34:35.639
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the eighty to nine percent range. I're gonna

1:34:35.680 --> 1:34:39.000
<v Speaker 1>produce their their side to side. Very upset that producer

1:34:39.080 --> 1:34:42.360
<v Speaker 1>marts you think, Yeah, you know, you might be a

1:34:42.360 --> 1:34:43.920
<v Speaker 1>little cobkey, a little bit worried. There are a lot

1:34:43.960 --> 1:34:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of people who love the white Claws and the Seltzers

1:34:46.400 --> 1:34:48.920
<v Speaker 1>that won't admit it. So here's my here's my theory.

1:34:49.439 --> 1:34:54.559
<v Speaker 1>White claw is to drinks what creed is to music taste.

1:34:55.080 --> 1:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody says they hate it, but when no one's looking

1:34:58.520 --> 1:35:01.760
<v Speaker 1>behind closed doors, people are popping their white claws and

1:35:01.920 --> 1:35:04.320
<v Speaker 1>listening to their creed. You know that's what's happened. I'm

1:35:04.320 --> 1:35:06.519
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure you've said on this show before that you

1:35:06.640 --> 1:35:09.320
<v Speaker 1>have tried it and enjoyed it. I mean, I can

1:35:09.400 --> 1:35:13.040
<v Speaker 1>neither confirm nor to note this is your Creed neither

1:35:13.240 --> 1:35:15.599
<v Speaker 1>oh Man, and I always tell I'm like, I like Creed.

1:35:15.960 --> 1:35:18.519
<v Speaker 1>I actually I do think Nickelback is just not that great.

1:35:18.560 --> 1:35:21.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not because everyone trash is Nickelback, but like Creed

1:35:22.160 --> 1:35:25.679
<v Speaker 1>is the original Nickelback, and Creed is way better than Nickelback,

1:35:25.720 --> 1:35:28.639
<v Speaker 1>which everybody should know. So I know, like three songs

1:35:28.720 --> 1:35:30.920
<v Speaker 1>from both bands. That's about. Yeah, I've been I've been

1:35:31.000 --> 1:35:33.240
<v Speaker 1>on a on a nineties rock kick recently. When I'm

1:35:33.280 --> 1:35:35.479
<v Speaker 1>trying to go to the gym, which the gym is

1:35:35.520 --> 1:35:38.519
<v Speaker 1>working out fine, it's the stop eating so damn much

1:35:38.640 --> 1:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>part of it. That is, that is the challenge that

1:35:40.640 --> 1:35:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I find. Like I'm getting stronger, like I'm lifting more

1:35:43.479 --> 1:35:45.679
<v Speaker 1>weight and stuff like that, which is nice, that's encouraging,

1:35:46.080 --> 1:35:49.280
<v Speaker 1>but to really get the uh the more esthetic effect,

1:35:49.640 --> 1:35:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have to stop eating cookie dough in

1:35:52.760 --> 1:35:57.080
<v Speaker 1>between meals and put down chocolate bars and you know

1:35:57.080 --> 1:35:59.720
<v Speaker 1>what it's like, what's the fun in that, though, Producer Mark,

1:35:59.800 --> 1:36:01.599
<v Speaker 1>what's the funny? It's all one step at a time.

1:36:01.680 --> 1:36:04.519
<v Speaker 1>First you get in the exercise routine and then you

1:36:04.600 --> 1:36:07.360
<v Speaker 1>work work on eating better. Yeah, that's one step at

1:36:07.400 --> 1:36:10.479
<v Speaker 1>a time. True, very true. All right, let's get to um.

1:36:11.479 --> 1:36:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to a JR. Who's kicking us off here

1:36:14.120 --> 1:36:18.160
<v Speaker 1>with roll call bucking Mark King Edward and Brave Heart lamented.

1:36:18.800 --> 1:36:21.439
<v Speaker 1>The problem of Scotland is there are too many Scots.

1:36:21.560 --> 1:36:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Will breathe them out, the Democrats lament. The problem with

1:36:25.439 --> 1:36:28.799
<v Speaker 1>the republic is there are too many Republicans. Let's cancel

1:36:28.840 --> 1:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>them out. Yeah, I think that j Your point here

1:36:32.920 --> 1:36:35.120
<v Speaker 1>is that Democrats don't want Republicans to actually be around.

1:36:35.120 --> 1:36:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, unfortunately that's kind of true. It's pretty sad. Really,

1:36:38.640 --> 1:36:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, you got more. The deeper insidious goal of

1:36:41.280 --> 1:36:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the left is globalism. Hence climate change must be a

1:36:44.600 --> 1:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>global effort. A global effort demands that there are no borders,

1:36:48.760 --> 1:36:52.439
<v Speaker 1>a centralized world government must rule. Exceptionalism is to be

1:36:52.720 --> 1:36:56.120
<v Speaker 1>utterly obliterated. The Mighty must be brought down, and we

1:36:56.360 --> 1:36:59.840
<v Speaker 1>will all live as one. From my own personal experiences,

1:36:59.840 --> 1:37:01.880
<v Speaker 1>how has been percolating since the sixties and in other

1:37:01.960 --> 1:37:04.560
<v Speaker 1>parts of the world prior to that, either intentionally or

1:37:04.640 --> 1:37:07.680
<v Speaker 1>by happenstance. The Democrats are setting a course that was

1:37:07.720 --> 1:37:10.639
<v Speaker 1>supposed to continue after Obama. Through Hillary and to whoever

1:37:10.800 --> 1:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>was next, it would have been irreversible but for the

1:37:13.080 --> 1:37:15.840
<v Speaker 1>damage by Trump. It's easy to understand their contempt if

1:37:15.840 --> 1:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you see it from this viewpoint, Shield's high didn't save Rome,

1:37:22.120 --> 1:37:25.880
<v Speaker 1>or even Shield's hide didn't save Rome Jr. That was

1:37:25.960 --> 1:37:29.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of a bummer. Jared's kind of bumming me out. Man. Yeah,

1:37:29.439 --> 1:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess technically Rome did fall. You know, I think

1:37:32.040 --> 1:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>America's got a little more time in it before we

1:37:34.120 --> 1:37:38.599
<v Speaker 1>dissolve into something else. But no nation state lasts forever.

1:37:38.680 --> 1:37:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Friends and Democrats are trying really hard. They're kicking at

1:37:41.080 --> 1:37:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the load bearing walls of our republic and they think

1:37:43.720 --> 1:37:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it's hilarious. Think I think it's great. They're they're drunk

1:37:46.400 --> 1:37:49.400
<v Speaker 1>with power these days. But at least we got each other. Team,

1:37:49.800 --> 1:37:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we got each other. Oh you know, producer Mark, a

1:37:51.720 --> 1:37:54.400
<v Speaker 1>family member brought up last night that she has as

1:37:54.479 --> 1:37:57.080
<v Speaker 1>my mom that she's like, where are your team buck

1:37:57.120 --> 1:38:00.320
<v Speaker 1>T shirts? And I agree, shouldn't we do this? Wouldn't

1:38:00.320 --> 1:38:02.400
<v Speaker 1>we get T shirts? We have a great website bucksexen

1:38:02.479 --> 1:38:05.320
<v Speaker 1>dot com, so shouldn't we get to T shirt set up?

1:38:05.840 --> 1:38:07.400
<v Speaker 1>What do you think we should get a whole merch

1:38:07.479 --> 1:38:10.760
<v Speaker 1>store set up? Yeah, I gotta I gotta get that guy.

1:38:10.760 --> 1:38:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I know we brought it up before, but now we

1:38:12.200 --> 1:38:13.720
<v Speaker 1>at least bucksex and dot com. You can listen to

1:38:13.720 --> 1:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the podcast there. We do post stories, I post editorials there.

1:38:16.880 --> 1:38:19.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's all going well. But I would love to

1:38:19.320 --> 1:38:21.920
<v Speaker 1>get some merch we could create. Do we want to

1:38:21.920 --> 1:38:24.240
<v Speaker 1>create a producer Mark penalty box T shirt? You know

1:38:24.320 --> 1:38:26.479
<v Speaker 1>where you're just like we we get you in like

1:38:26.600 --> 1:38:28.880
<v Speaker 1>one of those REFS shirts and you're like waving your

1:38:28.880 --> 1:38:32.040
<v Speaker 1>finger back and forth or something, and you know we'll

1:38:32.080 --> 1:38:34.639
<v Speaker 1>come up with some we have. There's smarter graphic designers

1:38:34.720 --> 1:38:37.720
<v Speaker 1>out there than us. We should do it though, or

1:38:37.960 --> 1:38:39.760
<v Speaker 1>rather we should have it done, you know. That's what

1:38:39.840 --> 1:38:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm at the rate we usually do stuff coming soon

1:38:42.400 --> 1:38:44.960
<v Speaker 1>by twenty twenty three. Yeah, it's happened, But I like

1:38:45.080 --> 1:38:47.040
<v Speaker 1>to put I'm an ideas guy. You know, we're ideas

1:38:47.080 --> 1:38:49.360
<v Speaker 1>guys here on the Freedom Hunt. We have plenty of ideas.

1:38:49.400 --> 1:38:53.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just the execution part, that's true. Matthew Buck. I

1:38:54.040 --> 1:38:55.519
<v Speaker 1>want you to make I want to make sure you

1:38:55.600 --> 1:38:57.240
<v Speaker 1>know I sit on the other side of the aisle

1:38:57.280 --> 1:38:59.599
<v Speaker 1>from you politically. I don't always like what you say

1:38:59.720 --> 1:39:03.000
<v Speaker 1>or how you say it. Okay, However, I believe an

1:39:03.000 --> 1:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>open dialogue and for you to have the right to

1:39:05.240 --> 1:39:07.960
<v Speaker 1>your platform. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean

1:39:07.960 --> 1:39:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't be able to speak your views. With that,

1:39:09.960 --> 1:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I went on and gave your review on Apple Podcasts.

1:39:12.360 --> 1:39:13.680
<v Speaker 1>You work very hard at what do you do and

1:39:13.760 --> 1:39:15.559
<v Speaker 1>deserve the right to say when you need to keep

<v Speaker 1>it up. Hey, Matthew Man, I'll take it. Thank you

1:39:58.760 --> 1:40:02.519
<v Speaker 1>and we appreciate it. Dave writes, Hey, Buck, I'm seeing

1:40:02.600 --> 1:40:05.639
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook my friends posts going to good county schools.

1:40:06.040 --> 1:40:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It looks like the rules are so unreasonable that they

1:40:08.280 --> 1:40:12.640
<v Speaker 1>want their kids to stay virtual. I'm surprised they're not surprised.

1:40:13.760 --> 1:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>The administrators are making them possible for these kids to

1:40:16.040 --> 1:40:18.120
<v Speaker 1>go back to what they expect to be normal. The

1:40:18.200 --> 1:40:20.479
<v Speaker 1>progressive mentality is spread from the city to the counties.

1:40:20.520 --> 1:40:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Keep up the great work, Bucking producer Mark. Yeah, Dave,

1:40:23.920 --> 1:40:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you know there are a lot of counties where there's

1:40:27.160 --> 1:40:28.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of blue going on, even if you're not

1:40:28.960 --> 1:40:31.439
<v Speaker 1>in a city. And that means that there is this

1:40:31.600 --> 1:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>mentality that we got to do the faucism. And I'll

1:40:35.000 --> 1:40:40.880
<v Speaker 1>just say this that, look, we got to remember that

1:40:41.000 --> 1:40:46.320
<v Speaker 1>these schools being open, that's a very broad term, right

1:40:46.520 --> 1:40:48.439
<v Speaker 1>when they say open, I mean Biden gives this whole

1:40:48.479 --> 1:40:51.960
<v Speaker 1>thing about we're it over one hundred Robert Blood schools,

1:40:51.960 --> 1:40:56.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred days. That does it mean one day a week?

1:40:57.160 --> 1:40:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Does it mean four hours a day? Does it mean

1:41:00.960 --> 1:41:06.920
<v Speaker 1>shifts rotations of students in the classroom? Uh? You know

1:41:07.120 --> 1:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that that they some days, some kids come in, other

1:41:09.680 --> 1:41:12.680
<v Speaker 1>days other kids come in. I mean, the reality is

1:41:12.760 --> 1:41:16.439
<v Speaker 1>that schools should just be open, Okay. The reality is

1:41:16.520 --> 1:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that schools should be open across the country everywhere fully.

1:41:21.479 --> 1:41:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And it was fascinating that at the Dalton School here

1:41:25.760 --> 1:41:27.320
<v Speaker 1>in New York City, which is one of the most

1:41:27.560 --> 1:41:30.320
<v Speaker 1>elite and expensive schools in New York City and in

1:41:30.400 --> 1:41:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the country, there was there was an article written in

1:41:33.640 --> 1:41:36.080
<v Speaker 1>The Atlantic about how the parents there was a kind

1:41:36.120 --> 1:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of revolt among the parents at Dalton because a lot

1:41:38.880 --> 1:41:41.200
<v Speaker 1>of other fancy private schools in New York and for

1:41:41.240 --> 1:41:44.920
<v Speaker 1>those you're wondering how fancy or how expensive these schools

1:41:44.960 --> 1:41:47.920
<v Speaker 1>are if you had a fifth grader, Let's say, if

1:41:47.960 --> 1:41:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you had a fifth grader who was going to Dalton,

1:41:50.160 --> 1:41:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you'd be paying about intuition sixty thousand dollars a year.

1:41:56.880 --> 1:42:00.679
<v Speaker 1>That's right for the fifth grade, for the first college. Yeah,

1:42:01.920 --> 1:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>fifty sixty fifty to sixty thousand dollars a year. Yeah.

1:42:06.560 --> 1:42:08.599
<v Speaker 1>And there's a lot of schools like that in New

1:42:08.680 --> 1:42:11.519
<v Speaker 1>York City. I went to a private school called Regis,

1:42:11.560 --> 1:42:14.759
<v Speaker 1>which is a Jesuit school, where the tuition was twenty

1:42:15.200 --> 1:42:17.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year. I'm not kidding. That was for the

1:42:17.760 --> 1:42:21.840
<v Speaker 1>laboratory fees and admin fees. Twenty dollars a year was

1:42:21.960 --> 1:42:24.160
<v Speaker 1>what my school costs producer Mark, I think I think

1:42:24.200 --> 1:42:28.400
<v Speaker 1>mine was a better a better deal, better bargain slightly. Wow. Yeah, yeah,

1:42:29.000 --> 1:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>So this the sixty thousand dollars a year schools though,

1:42:34.720 --> 1:42:36.519
<v Speaker 1>which were not as the kids were not as smart

1:42:36.560 --> 1:42:39.080
<v Speaker 1>as my school. I'm just saying. But anyway, because I

1:42:39.120 --> 1:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>got I got into all those sixty thousand dollars a

1:42:40.920 --> 1:42:43.479
<v Speaker 1>year schools, I didn't go to them. And I know,

1:42:43.600 --> 1:42:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I know that's not even a humble brag. I'm just

1:42:45.360 --> 1:42:47.479
<v Speaker 1>being I'm just being that guy right now. But the

1:42:47.600 --> 1:42:51.519
<v Speaker 1>point is that one of the schools wasn't open, and

1:42:52.200 --> 1:42:57.360
<v Speaker 1>that school then had parents, particularly had parents who were doctors.

1:42:58.439 --> 1:43:00.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, parents have children there who are doctors. They're

1:43:00.320 --> 1:43:02.920
<v Speaker 1>like twenty of them, and they they wrote in they're saying,

1:43:03.160 --> 1:43:07.080
<v Speaker 1>where is why aren't schools open? So when it affected them,

1:43:07.320 --> 1:43:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you these parents are almost all liberals and

1:43:10.200 --> 1:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Biden voters because Dalphin's are very liberal school But when

1:43:13.439 --> 1:43:15.360
<v Speaker 1>their kids aren't able to go to school and they're

1:43:15.360 --> 1:43:19.360
<v Speaker 1>paying for it, their attitude is we're scientists. We're doctors too.

1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Why can't our kids other schools are open? Why can't

1:43:22.120 --> 1:43:25.719
<v Speaker 1>our schools be open? This is the classic democrat mentality.

1:43:26.000 --> 1:43:28.479
<v Speaker 1>They know what the herd is supposed to do with

1:43:28.600 --> 1:43:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the democrat herd supposed to do. They know what they're

1:43:30.400 --> 1:43:33.880
<v Speaker 1>supposed to believe, and they don't want to challenge it.

1:43:34.960 --> 1:43:39.120
<v Speaker 1>So what they do instead is they just go along

1:43:39.360 --> 1:43:41.719
<v Speaker 1>as long as their kids are fine. They go along

1:43:41.800 --> 1:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>with what's the consensus because they don't want to be,

1:43:45.120 --> 1:43:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, pushed out of the circle of the elites.

1:43:49.120 --> 1:43:50.960
<v Speaker 1>So that that just but it was it was amazing

1:43:51.040 --> 1:43:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to see how you had doctor. I haven't seen that,

1:43:54.120 --> 1:43:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, any other in any other setting where you

1:43:57.000 --> 1:43:59.400
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of dozen doctors who are parents all

1:43:59.439 --> 1:44:01.760
<v Speaker 1>come together and say what the heck is going on

1:44:02.000 --> 1:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in general with schools, but no their children. They're paying

1:44:05.080 --> 1:44:08.280
<v Speaker 1>sixty thousand dollars a year and their kids were doing

1:44:08.400 --> 1:44:12.439
<v Speaker 1>virtual learning, and they're saying the science doesn't actually support this. Well,

1:44:12.439 --> 1:44:15.400
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't support it for kids whose parents are rich,

1:44:15.880 --> 1:44:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it supports it for anyone's kids. Does it? Exactly?

1:44:20.560 --> 1:44:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Check me? All our more role call to kick us

1:44:22.560 --> 1:44:25.280
<v Speaker 1>off for the weekend, Nick Buck, what would the money

1:44:25.360 --> 1:44:29.120
<v Speaker 1>compared to population be? I'm here in Denver, where over

1:44:29.160 --> 1:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years the progressives have come in and

1:44:31.200 --> 1:44:34.120
<v Speaker 1>ruined the state. But if you were to compare populations

1:44:34.160 --> 1:44:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the amount given in this ridiculous package, would things look

1:44:37.640 --> 1:44:42.840
<v Speaker 1>would things look correct? Let me see, I don't really

1:44:42.920 --> 1:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>understand if you were to compare population the amount giving

1:44:45.040 --> 1:44:48.400
<v Speaker 1>this ridiculous package. Nick, I'm sorry, man, I don't really understand.

1:44:48.680 --> 1:44:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Please write back in with what you mean comparing money

1:44:52.240 --> 1:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to population. I don't really get it. I don't really

1:44:55.120 --> 1:44:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm a producer, Mark, do you see what the question is?

1:44:58.280 --> 1:45:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm confused. I kind of understand, but I'm not really

1:45:02.160 --> 1:45:04.160
<v Speaker 1>clear what he's asking me. The last ten years progressive

1:45:04.160 --> 1:45:06.120
<v Speaker 1>has come and ruined the state. But if you were

1:45:06.160 --> 1:45:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to compare population to the amount given in this ridiculous package. Oh,

1:45:09.360 --> 1:45:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he must be talking about like how much

1:45:12.200 --> 1:45:17.280
<v Speaker 1>New York got versus how much Oklahoma got? Oh? Yeah, no, okay,

1:45:17.320 --> 1:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>fair enough? Yeah, Nick, I don't I don't know. I

1:45:19.160 --> 1:45:22.519
<v Speaker 1>haven't looked at that at that breakdown, and and I'm

1:45:22.600 --> 1:45:25.479
<v Speaker 1>sure that that's you know, if it looks bad for Democrats,

1:45:25.479 --> 1:45:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you'll have to look very hard to find it, but

1:45:27.280 --> 1:45:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I will see if I can find it. All right,

1:45:29.800 --> 1:45:32.519
<v Speaker 1>more here from Jamie. I've been listening to you since

1:45:32.560 --> 1:45:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the first time you filled in for Rush. Your Lepanto

1:45:35.880 --> 1:45:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Deep Dive is an annual part of our homeschooling life. Wow,

1:45:39.320 --> 1:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. That's amazing. In the last year,

1:45:41.960 --> 1:45:44.200
<v Speaker 1>in particularly the last four months, I've given up on

1:45:44.280 --> 1:45:47.519
<v Speaker 1>most news and commentary, I feel that if I'm not

1:45:47.720 --> 1:45:52.160
<v Speaker 1>being outright lied to, I'm being agitated and depressed intentionally

1:45:52.240 --> 1:45:55.679
<v Speaker 1>because someone somewhere has calculated that's beneficial to their ratings.

1:45:55.960 --> 1:45:59.400
<v Speaker 1>But I trust you, Buck Sexton Shields High Well, Jamie,

1:45:59.439 --> 1:46:01.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much much. I try to be worthy

1:46:01.320 --> 1:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of your trust always, and you know I'm not. I'm

1:46:04.040 --> 1:46:06.559
<v Speaker 1>not perfect, I'm not always right. I don't always see

1:46:06.640 --> 1:46:09.960
<v Speaker 1>things with absolute clarity. But I tell you who I am,

1:46:10.080 --> 1:46:12.519
<v Speaker 1>what I believe, what I think, and I tell you

1:46:12.600 --> 1:46:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to you honestly. So I appreciate that that clearly has

1:46:16.800 --> 1:46:19.120
<v Speaker 1>some some meaning for you, and and the fact that

<v Speaker 1>But that's the only way that we can get the

1:46:40.320 --> 1:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>work and labor and everything into them editing and have

1:46:42.760 --> 1:46:45.280
<v Speaker 1>producer marks. They up late at night to get it going.

1:46:45.439 --> 1:46:47.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's the part of it that's holding it up.

1:46:47.920 --> 1:46:50.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not the work from our end, it's you know,

1:46:50.400 --> 1:46:53.200
<v Speaker 1>we're waiting to get them pitched and to get them

1:46:53.320 --> 1:46:56.360
<v Speaker 1>lined up with podcast sponsors. So that's what's going to

1:46:56.400 --> 1:47:00.439
<v Speaker 1>be happening going forward. Addie. Right's good morning, Buck. I've

1:47:00.439 --> 1:47:01.800
<v Speaker 1>been listening for a while now. I enjoy you and

1:47:01.880 --> 1:47:04.360
<v Speaker 1>producer Mark tremendously. Just so you know, I'm listening to

1:47:04.400 --> 1:47:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you from Israel on the iHeart Apple. That's awesome. I'm

1:47:07.680 --> 1:47:09.479
<v Speaker 1>an Israeli married you're an American. By the way, if

1:47:09.479 --> 1:47:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to hear a horror story about immigration, I

1:47:11.360 --> 1:47:13.160
<v Speaker 1>can give you one and maybe people will understand the

1:47:13.280 --> 1:47:16.000
<v Speaker 1>injustice of illegal immigration. I wish there was a little

1:47:16.040 --> 1:47:19.960
<v Speaker 1>bit of talk about the hardship that legal immigration has

1:47:20.040 --> 1:47:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to prove and versus and reality versus the government just

1:47:23.439 --> 1:47:26.639
<v Speaker 1>handing illegal immigrants. I'm crossing my fingers for our great country.

1:47:26.680 --> 1:47:28.479
<v Speaker 1>We're all going to survive this administration. I hope you

1:47:28.560 --> 1:47:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and yours are happy and healthy. Well, Addie, thanks so

1:47:31.040 --> 1:47:33.639
<v Speaker 1>much for writing in when we appreciate it, and great

1:47:33.640 --> 1:47:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to have Team Buck Israel in the house. Alex, Hey,

1:47:36.720 --> 1:47:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Buck and Mark, I know you often say Trump didn't

1:47:38.479 --> 1:47:41.479
<v Speaker 1>get many sustainable things Dunder's first four years. He did

1:47:41.560 --> 1:47:43.880
<v Speaker 1>sign a bunch of eos. That's not the same as legislation.

1:47:44.000 --> 1:47:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I agree any EO that he did sign has now

1:47:47.040 --> 1:47:50.120
<v Speaker 1>been undone by the druler in chief. The issue is

1:47:50.200 --> 1:47:51.680
<v Speaker 1>with the way you frame it. I believe that during

1:47:51.720 --> 1:47:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump's first two years, when Republicans had both the Health

1:47:54.120 --> 1:47:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Senate, half of the idiots actually believed the GOP,

1:47:57.240 --> 1:47:59.920
<v Speaker 1>actually believed Trump colluded with Russia and didn't support his agenda.

1:48:00.640 --> 1:48:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think he was hamstrung from the get go.

1:48:02.479 --> 1:48:05.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? Love the show and Express VPN

1:48:05.120 --> 1:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and Black Rifle coffee and my pillow stay in the

1:48:07.920 --> 1:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>fight shield, Hie. Alex, You're a Team Buck superstar. Thank

1:48:11.200 --> 1:48:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you so much for supporting our sponsors. That means the

<v Speaker 1>world to us, keeps us in business. And as for

1:48:16.840 --> 1:48:19.479
<v Speaker 1>your assessment or Trump, Yeah, I think you're I think

1:48:19.520 --> 1:48:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you make valid points entirely. Team. That's it. Have a

1:48:22.760 --> 1:48:24.880
<v Speaker 1>great weekend back Monday, Shield Hie
