It's good to say the truth starting to 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: trickle out, not just about the lab leake theory, but 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: also about doctor Fouci himself, a conniving, sniveling on the 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: one hand, on the other hand, both side of his 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: mouth talking democrat. That's who doctor Fouci is. That's what 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: we've been subjected to for over a year. And finally 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: people understand why I have found this guy to be 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: such an odious little lab coat tyrant. And the more 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: we dig into this and hear his babbling, nonsensical explanations, 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: the more clear it is. Some of us were right 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: all along. We knew who the doctor was. But I'll 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: dive more into this in a moment.

Is it because China is so opaque? 39 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Is it because who was not sharing information? Why is 40 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: this so difficult? There are several reasons Willie Wine's difficult. 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: I think one of the things is that we need 42 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: better access to all the information. I mean, it's obviously 43 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: in China's interest to find out exactly what it is, 44 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: and the is of the natural theory would be defined 45 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: that link, So you have to keep looking for it. 46 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you want openness and cooperation. One of 47 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: the ways you can get it is don't be accusatory. 48 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Try to get both a forensic, a scientific and an 49 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: investigational approach. I think the accusatory part about it is 50 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: only going to get them to pull back even more. 51 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: We've got to do it in a combination of diplomacy, 52 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: scientific forensic investigation, and do it in a way that 53 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: the people of good faith, not who want to do blame, 54 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: but people in good faith are really trying to find 55 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: out what the origin is. Who we're seeing a lot 56 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: of you know, I didn't even want to describe it, 57 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: a lot of pointing of fingers and things like that. 58 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: Keep an open mind and go after the truth. Go 59 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: after the truth. He says, as if the Chinese Communist 60 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: Party could give a fauci about the truth. Give me 61 00:03:53,880 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: a break, friends, This is absurd, absurd, but he's a bureaucrat, 62 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: he's a democrat, he's a collectivist, and he does not 63 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: want people to start asking questions. That's been the case 64 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: all along. Don't you see the pattern here, There's a 65 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: very clear theme. Doctor Anthony Fauci has no interest whatsoever 66 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: in being questioned. He is interested in giving pronouncements, and 67 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: the moment anybody has a second of doubt, he just 68 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: falls back on the science, as if that explains the 69 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: whole situation, as if there's no doubt in science. This 70 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: whole process, the scientific method, inquiry based upon fact and 71 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: reason and experiment and data, has been corrupted during this 72 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: pandemic by bureaucrats acting as monarchs, telling us what we 73 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: can and cannot do, where we can and can't go, 74 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: who we can see, how we can live, how we 75 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: can breathe. And now finally we're seeing yet another instance 76 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: of how the Fauciites were wrong, and worse than being wrong, 77 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: they faked certainty and lied lied to the public about 78 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: the degree of their knowledge and how right they were. 79 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Fauci won't criticize China. Why because he's somebody who believes 80 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: that the scientific community is effectively a global government of 81 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: source the scientific community has the say in this. They determine, 82 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 1: not even your own government determines. They determine the expert 83 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: consensus what happens in the midst of a global pandemic. 84 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: And they are beyond reproach. In fact, they are above 85 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: criticism because that's how important they are, how right, how smart, brilliant, 86 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: even the fauciite consensus makers are. They were wrong on 87 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: pretty much everything, friends everything. They were wrong on masks, 88 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: by their own admission, because at least at first they 89 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: said masks are dumb and don't protect you cloth masks 90 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: are a joke, essentially, and then they changed on that. 91 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: So they were definitely wrong. It's just a question of 92 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: how many times they were wrong about school closures. They 93 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: were wrong about the effects of lockdowns. They were wrong 94 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: about expanding fourteen days to slow the spread to fourteen months, 95 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: basically to slow the spread. The whole thing was a debacle, 96 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: and the very origins of the story itself, as you see, 97 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: were rife with lies and fraud and the instinct to suppress, 98 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: to shut down free inquiry, and to pretend that this 99 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: was effectively a settled issue. They loved this notion of 100 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: the settled science. But what we see is that the 101 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: same apparatus of suppression that insisted the lab leak theory 102 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: was a conspiracy theory have spent over a year shutting 103 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: down honest debate about masks and lockdown effectiveness. What's the 104 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: lesson we take from this? Authoritarian censorship is a bad idea, 105 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: even when its proponents wear lab coats. It's essential. And 106 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: what we're also taking from this is that Faucci was 107 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: a bigger fraud as pandemic hero than Cuomo or Newsom 108 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: or any of the idiot Democrat governors who thought that 109 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: by basically telling you to lock yourself in a closet 110 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: and wrap five plastic bags around your head because of 111 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the virus the science, they were heroes for that, but 112 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: we know that they're morons. Fauci was supposed to be 113 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: better than that. Give it time, everybody will see the truth, 114 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: though some will never accept it. Fauci is awful. Fauci 115 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: is the worst of all the people that abused the 116 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: public's mind. Of all the people that created mass panic 117 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: and anxiety, unnecessarily, none none were as pervasive as the 118 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: constant presence on your TV screen, The constantly quoted in 119 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: the media, doctor Fauci. How many little lab code authoritarians 120 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: work at the NIH, how many work at the CDC? 121 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: A lot? So why is it the only one you've 122 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: really heard of or the only one you've ever seen, 123 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: is this little Anthony Fauci character. Because he was elevated 124 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: into something much more than just a bureaucrat who's supposed 125 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: to be reporting on numbers and advising politicians. He became 126 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: a symbol, a symbol for the lockdowners, a saint of sorts, 127 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: although I'm sure that many of the people we're talking 128 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: about here object to the very notion of saints. He 129 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: was elevated as the great king of the Lockdowners. And 130 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: now we see that it was all a mess, a fraud. 131 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: These emails are exposing more and more of who doctor 132 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: Fauci really is, and now people are talking about a 133 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: cover up. Now you are seeing that there was gain 134 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: of function, research being done, that this is a real thing, 135 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: that it's not a conspiracy theory, and that there were 136 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: only and this is according to a piece in Vanity Fair, 137 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: three places in the world, one I believe in Houston, 138 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: the Carolinas, and one in China, the Wuhan Institute of 139 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: Virology that we're doing a kind of research on bat 140 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: coronaviruses that could have led to an outbreak. And we 141 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: find out that while in the early day of this pandemic, 142 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: we were told that it was a biosafety level four facility, 143 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,119 Speaker 1: right the highest. In fact, the Wuhan Institute of Virology 144 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: had several wings that were about a dentist office level 145 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: of viral protection and viral safety protocols. Virus protocols. That's 146 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: important for us to know, isn't it. That's important for 147 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: us to see, And yet that information was hidden the 148 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: bureaucrats in the global health bureaucracy. These are really just 149 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: un people in lab coats. That really makes it clear, right, 150 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: these are un bureaucrats who work for you know, whether 151 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: it's the World Health Organization or even our own CDC. 152 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: They are collectivist bureaucrats, and they knew they had to 153 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: do a lot of what we call CYA. The young 154 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: ones in the audience, you can ask your parents to 155 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: explain that one to you. I can't. I don't want 156 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: to say that one of the air CYA cover your something. 157 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: That's what they were doing make sure the public couldn't 158 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: figure out the real origins of this virus, and to 159 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 1: think that it came from a bad and then there 160 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: was an intermediary species. Okay, maybe that's still true, but 161 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: they certainly did not know that to be true, and 162 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: they pretended they did because they didn't even want the 163 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: possibility to be out there that this came from research 164 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: that was funded in part by US dollars. If you 165 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: give money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, you are 166 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: funding the Wuhan Institute. That money is going into the 167 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: pockets of the people making decisions there. It doesn't really 168 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: made matter. Money is fungible, right, it doesn't really matter 169 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: if you were funding directly that research or something else. 170 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: I would not give money to plan Parenthood, even though 171 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: they say that they send people for outsourced mamograms or something, right, 172 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: because I don't want to fund Planned Parenthood. I think 173 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: it should be defunded. Whole other conversation. But they funded 174 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a third party. US 175 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: dollars went to somebody, Peter Dajak. This guy very involved 176 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: in the early days of the messaging campaign around all this, 177 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: and it starts to stink to high heavens. Friends, It 178 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: smells like cover up. It smells like information operation, not 179 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: just against the American people, against the world. Think of 180 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: what the implications are here, Yes, for the Chinese Communist Party, 181 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: but for the global scientific community, think about what this 182 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: would mean. A lot of people will go to pretty 183 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: extreme lengths to make sure that the truth about this 184 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: is whatever they want it to be. Our perception of 185 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: truth is whatever they decide it must be. Can't you 186 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: see how Fauci was doing just that in the early days. 187 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: The emails paint a disturbing picture, a disturbing picture of 188 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: doctor Fauchi from the very beginning, worrying that he had 189 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: been funding gain a function research and he knows it 190 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: to this day, but hasn't admitted. We have to get 191 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: Democrat counterparts that will actually use the committee hearings to 192 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: investigate this. But so far it's been such a partisan 193 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: support for doctor Fauchi that he can do no wrong. 194 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: But really there's a lot of evidence that he has 195 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: a great deal of conflict of interest and that if 196 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: it turns out this virus came from the Wuhan lab, 197 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: which it looks like it did, that there's a great 198 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: deal of culpability, and that He was a big supporter 199 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: of the funding, but he also was a big supporters 200 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: to this day of saying we can trust the Chinese 201 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: on this, we can trust the Chinese scientists, And I 202 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: think that's quite naive and really should preclude him from 203 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: the position that he's in. Senator rand Paul has been 204 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: correct time and again, and doctor Fauchi has been wrong 205 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: over and over again. That's the conclusion we should all 206 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: draw from what has happened over the course of this pandemic. 207 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: That's what the facts actually show us concern about gain 208 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: of function research funding. Now, I understand there will be 209 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: people who say, well, it was an accident. Even if 210 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: US taxpayer dollars were used at the Wuhan Institute of 211 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: Virology and specifically allowed for and it was only a 212 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars but allowed for some greater degree 213 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: of gain of function research, I'll say, well, it was 214 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: an accident, and I'd point out, okay, would we have 215 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: listened to the global health bureaucracy about this? Would anybody 216 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: have wanted to hear a damn thing that the little 217 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: lab coat tyrant Fouci had to say? The stalinist smurf 218 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: of the nih. Would anybody have wanted to listen to 219 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: a thing he had to say about this if we 220 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: had known that we were only deally with the virus 221 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: in the first place because of global health community bureaucrat 222 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: collaboration funded in part by US taxpayer dollars. Think about this. 223 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: If Fauci appeared on TV every night where your mask 224 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: I saw your groceries, you know we're gonna we're gonna 225 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: hit a surge and then a plateau, and then a 226 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: surge and then maybe another plateau. Would would you have 227 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: listened to this guy? Would you have wanted to hear 228 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: what he had to say at all? If you had 229 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: known that he and his bureaucracy were involved in funding 230 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: the kind of research that led to this outbreak in 231 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: the first place. I think the answers no. I think 232 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: we all would have been saying, what the heck is 233 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: going on here? And now you're gonna put yourself in 234 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: this high and mighty position of telling us, all all 235 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: of us in America, how to live our lives down 236 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: to my new details. Well, can you hug your relatives? 237 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: Can you go out into a public playground. That's the 238 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: kind of stuff that the faucciites were making determinations about 239 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: and yet the very beginnings of this virus, not only 240 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: were they trying to hide it from us, but they 241 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: also may have been covering up some degree of complicity 242 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: in the outbreak in the first place. That is stunning, 243 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, it's stunning to normal people, to people 244 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: that think that wearing three masks while they go jogging alone, 245 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: even after being vaccinated, is a mark of intelligence, instead 246 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: of the exact opposite of that. Faucci is someone that 247 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: they will They'll never give up that he was great. 248 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: They'll never admit that this guy was a fraud, because 249 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: what would that say about their judgment. I mean, what 250 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: would it say about Nicole Wallace's intelligence Over at MSNBC, Well, 251 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: does anybody really have any questions about that? Here's what 252 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: she says about doctor Fauci's emails. Here's her take on it, 253 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: play ten. And that's what I was trying to do, 254 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: is to always tell the truth on the basis of 255 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: what the data is. And it was never deliberately something 256 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: against the president. In fact, he spoke about my emails. 257 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: You look at my emails. I never in the email 258 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: said anything derogatory about President Trump. Well, the true margot 259 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: someone is if they look good even when their personal 260 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: emails come out. So you fast the test that very 261 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: feel us with food fast. Oh my gosh, doctor Facci, 262 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: you're just so amazing. Oh my gosh, you're a amazing 263 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: you just like like our superhero fighting the virus. It's 264 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: like so good, unbelievable. Oh did did Fauci really? Did he? 265 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: Did he really tell the truth in the beginning? What 266 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: is it about this guy that makes libs all sit 267 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: around and and just gleam with pride, with They really 268 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: look at this guy as though he's like the dad 269 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: they never had, or maybe the grandpa they never had. 270 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: And I just don't get it. I can't imagine going 271 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: through life thinking that this this guy who's been working 272 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: for a health bureauxy for so many decades. Have any 273 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: of these people ever showed up at a public hospital. 274 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,479 Speaker 1: Have they ever dealt with, you know, the bureaucrats who 275 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: are making decisions in these places. You really, you really 276 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: think they're they're heroes and they always have your best 277 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: interests at heart. Album man, I a lot a lot 278 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: of cost cutting measures, a lot of you know, go 279 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: wait in the emergency room for eight hours while you're bleeding. 280 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: You know, sorry, too bad. But they believe that doctor 281 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: Fauci was unnecessary a savior. Actually, in all of this 282 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: he has been elevated to religious icon status, and he 283 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: is a tiny golden calf. Oh and the little golden 284 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: calf when he would bleat, often said the wrong thing. 285 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: But there were things he wouldn't say either, which I 286 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: think is so interesting. You will recall that he is 287 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: now claiming that he had no problem with Trump. He 288 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: was never an issue for the White House. It was 289 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: never political for him. The former White House Chief of 290 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: Staff under President Trump, Mark Meadows, brought this up recently. 291 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: This was somebody who was working with and dealing with 292 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: Fauci every day. Here he is play nine. Well, I 293 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: can tell you that what needs to happen is Ranking 294 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: Member Jordan and his cynic counterparts need to have another 295 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: hearing where they actually bring back in doctor Fauci to 296 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: look at some of these key questions. Part of the 297 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: troubling thing that we're seeing with these emails that are 298 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: coming out is not only do they seem to correspond 299 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: with what President Trump said and what Secretary Pompeo said 300 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: in terms of the origins of the virus. But it 301 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: indicates that Fauci had knowledge, or at least a suspicion 302 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: of things not happening in an evolutionary manner very early on, 303 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: and he didn't share that with the task force. That's 304 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: very troubling and something that we do need to get 305 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: to the bottom up. Why wouldn't he share that suspicion 306 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: with the task force? Gee, I wonder why if you 307 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: listen to this show, you're somebody who likes real questions 308 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: asked and you want real answers. That has been the 309 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: opposite of what we've gotten from ninety five percent of 310 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: the corporate media in this country, of all media in 311 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: this country, they have just been little parrots, squawk squawk, 312 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: parrots of the consensus. Ah, Foucci want a cracker. That's right, 313 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: Foucci does want a cracker. Well, you know what I mean. Fouci, 314 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: he's just always looking for a pad on the head, 315 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: always looking for some one to tell him how great 316 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: he is. Vanity friends from the Lab Code Tyrant was 317 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: a major component of the information operation that the American 318 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: people were subjected to for the last fifteen sixteen months. 319 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: That is what has really gone on here. Now that 320 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: we've hit the unofficial kick off to summer, the months 321 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 1: ahead are always a great reminder of how lucky we 322 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: are to be Americans. From time with friends and family, 323 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: backyard barbecues, road trips, ball games, hitting the beach or 324 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: the lake, you name it. It's also a great time 325 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: to show how proud we are to be Americans. And 326 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: part of the way we do that is by flying 327 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: the American flag in front of our homes. And not 328 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: just any American flag. I recommend one that you can 329 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: rest assured won't tangle around a pole or get mildewed, 330 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: torn or shredded quickly.

No 352 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: longer right to call this a conspiracy theory. It was 353 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: never right to call it a conspiracy theory. Our friend 354 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 1: Jordan shack Tell, who's an investigative journalist, is with us 355 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: right now. He has been a critic of fauci, of 356 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: lockdowns of masks all along, so we greatly appreciate him 357 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: for that. Jordan. People should support your work on this. 358 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: Where do they go? You can find me at Docia 359 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: dot substack dot com. Now tell us, tell us what 360 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: is most striking to you about where we stand right 361 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: now with the release of these emails. What is important 362 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: for everybody to take away from this. There's a lot 363 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: of emails out there from doctor Fauci. Yeah, because the 364 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: lab leak stuff and the gain of function stuff has 365 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 1: been in the news so much. It was interesting to 366 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: see the sense of urgency coming from the upper echelons 367 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: of the US government health bureaucracy, with the National Institutes 368 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: of Health and then Fauci's and I AID whenever this 369 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: issue came up. It seems like they wanted to have 370 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: an immediate phone call um, whether it was with you 371 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: supposed journalists in the corporate press, or you had Fauci's 372 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: top colleagues and executives. And what seems like they weren't 373 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: dismissing that the lab bleak thesis whatsoever. They were just 374 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: trying to seemingly coordinate their messaging over the Lablak thesis. 375 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: And then you know, around the same time frame. What 376 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 1: was interesting is that Fauci had publications out and as 377 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: colleagues had public public publications um completely dismissing lab leak 378 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: as if this was not even a possibility. But the 379 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: emails said a very different thing. So what do you, 380 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: what does the evidence tell us right now about what's 381 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: what's most likely to have occurred here, and also the 382 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: degree of of culpability of the of the Wuhan Institute 383 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: of Virology. When where does the data to borrow from? 384 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: Fauci point us right now, it seems it's not only 385 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology and you know, the Chinese 386 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: Communist Party, but there's also a significant piece that's missing 387 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: with concerning the US government's health institutions, collaboration and funding 388 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: of these agencies. And you know, whether or not it 389 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: happens with the endorsement of a particular presidential administration remains 390 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: pretty much unknown. You know, this gain of function stuff 391 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: is so weird because they put a pause to it 392 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: and then they resumed it, and then they were talking about, 393 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, these these bat viruses, and it's just very 394 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: strange that the timeline that you see here, and it 395 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: just leads to a lot more questions about what exactly 396 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: was going on there on the US side of things, 397 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: because I think we're never going to get the answers 398 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: from the Chinese Communists. You know, they're never gonna tell 399 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: us directly the truth of the matter. But we do 400 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: have other, you know, processes in the United States which 401 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: we can at least hold these bureaucrats to account. How 402 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: do you think we can get accountability here, Jordan? I mean, 403 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, Fauci is running around saying, let's not point 404 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: fingers at China, and now people are saying, well, it's 405 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: not just China we're concerned about here, but either's some 406 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: that are saying that he has misled to the point 407 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: of perhaps even perjuring himself when he's talked before Congress. 408 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: What do you think the accountability mechanisms can do here? 409 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: And how do we go forward given what we found out? 410 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: That's the interesting thing, and I think all the signs 411 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: are pointing to in early not an early retirement for Fauci, 412 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: because he's been a government bureaucrat for an amazing fifty 413 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: six years. But there has to be some kind of 414 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: accountability mechanisms. You can hope that, you know, at least 415 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: GOP legislators can really push this issue hard and hopefully 416 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: find at least some purple state dams to agree to 417 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: attempt to hold these people accountable. Start holding hearings, start 418 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: asking these people under oath, you know what they met 419 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: when they were talking about these emails, and of course 420 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: these emails were under freedom of information acts. So hopefully, 421 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: you know, these these people that represent US in Congress 422 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: can get additional emails about this issue and continue to 423 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, do what they can to get more information 424 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: to the public. But the last thing I want right now, actually, 425 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: even though I've been you know, trying to get Faucci 426 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: sidelined and to retire for for eighteen months because of 427 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: his gross incompetence, I think Faucci especially needs to be 428 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: held accountable. What do you think are the one of 429 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: the greatest sins that Faucci has created here? There's so 430 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: many things, um, it seems the common theme in the 431 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: in the emails was that Faucci was trying to protect 432 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: the bureaucracy from any critiques or even just he wanted 433 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: to project this sense onto the nation that he was 434 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: kind of like this all knowing scientists, you know, this 435 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: the foremost infectious disease expert that we kept hearing the 436 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: corporate press echoing and over again to try to sell that, 437 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: you know, the US response to COVID nineteen was based 438 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: on science, whether it was social distancing masks, all these closures, 439 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: and the reality was that there was never any evidence 440 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: for any of this stuff. But Fauci was more um, 441 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, as a as a really as a politician. 442 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: He understood the power of crafting a narrative that works, 443 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: and he used the media to his benefit to craft 444 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: these narratives. But largely every single thing, um, it seemed, 445 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: every single thing was a lie and it was based 446 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: it was based on nothing, you know, this six foot 447 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 1: social distancing, and a lot of us, you know, you 448 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: included especially, have been saying this for a while, like, 449 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: where is the evidence. I'm not relying on Fauci's credentials, 450 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: where's the evidence? And you know, the emails kind of 451 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: go to show that they didn't really they were really 452 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: too concerned with evidence. They were just more concerned with 453 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: being in a position of authority. It seems to me, 454 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: Jordan them that that a lot of this was pushed 455 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: by we we have these you know, large, expensive, cumbersome 456 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: health bureaucracies here in America and a lot of places 457 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: around the world, and here we are. This was the 458 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: their moment, so to speak, right, this is what we 459 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: have them for. And really, at the beginning of this pandemic, 460 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: if they had told us the truth. It was going 461 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: to be we don't really know how to stop this 462 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: from spreading. A lot of you are going to get it, 463 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: and it's going to take us at least a year 464 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: to get a vaccine out there and start getting the 465 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: people's arms. So do your best. I mean that was 466 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: actually where they were. But they came up with this 467 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: whole framework of mask six foot six feet of distancing lights, 468 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: all your groceries, you know, all these things we were 469 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: being told. It's it feels like they just came up 470 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: with a plan so they could have a plan. Yeah, 471 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: it seemed like they came up with a plan so 472 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: they could be seen and perceived as doing something you know, 473 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: morally and scientifically appropriate. And for actually it paid off. 474 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: Like Faucci won a one million dollar prize, he got 475 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: a book deal, he had a Disney crew following him 476 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: around shooting a documentary. I don't even know if the 477 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: White House knew about that, which is kind of fascinating. 478 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: But Faucci, he won the battle for you know, public 479 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: of public perception. The problem was just that the science 480 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: wasn't on his side, and he ended up screwing over 481 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, the entire country, and I think his decisions 482 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: impacted not only the United States but the entire world 483 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: who looked to him for guidance. And he was really basically, 484 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, the equivalent of a quack quack doctor at 485 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: the entire time. We're speaking to Jordan Shacktel, investigative journalist 486 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: who's been covering COVID from I mean, I think I 487 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: would say a contrarian perspective is fair. And I've been 488 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: doing the same thing Jordan, because to go against the 489 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: consensus in any way, you're considered some kind of you know, 490 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: radical contrarian on all this stuff. So I have to 491 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: wonder what is the role of Peter Dajak. I'm not 492 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: sure I'm saying his name right, But this guy, Peter 493 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: Dajac and all this, who was the one who directed 494 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: some of the funding to the Wouhan Institute of Virology. 495 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: What do we know about this guy? Yeah, so it 496 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: seems like he was running some kind of like middleman 497 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: operation between the US government. He actually I've never interacted 498 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: with this guy in social media and he's blocked me 499 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: and like every single platform says like, oh, that's kind 500 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: of weird. But he seemed to be the intermediary between 501 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: the Chinese communists and the US health bureaucracy, especially when 502 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: it came to like funding this kind of this sketchy research, 503 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: they preferred not to do it directly. So he was 504 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: like this like black market type situation, NGO, very sketchy. 505 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: There's so much sketchy stuff going on in that in 506 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: that world. Even though you know these government health institutions 507 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: have a history of dangerous and reckless behavior, they seem to, 508 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, try to find cutouts to avoid congressional scrutiny. 509 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: And he seemed to be an integral player in that mess. 510 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: Of all the decisions Jordan that have come down from 511 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: the health bureaucrats during this in retrospect, I mean, which 512 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: is the one that you find the most egregious, Whether 513 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: it's the suppression of the lab leak theory, the enormous 514 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: about face on masks, the lockdown mantra, all this stuff, 515 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: which is the one that, for you is just the 516 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: most inexplicable and destructive. Yeah, it just had to be 517 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: the lockdowns and the messaging about the lockdowns and the 518 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: confidence they expressed when they were really just weighing it 519 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: the entire time. And that's you know, the most discippointing 520 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: thing is how much damage they did to our global 521 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: society because they expressed false confidence and really had no 522 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: idea what was going on. I mean, we've been talking 523 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: about this for so long that the lockdowns had never 524 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: been tried before on this scale in human history, and 525 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: it was all based on a you know, Chinese communist 526 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: model out of Wuhan, China, and it was so destructive 527 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: and countries are still attempting lockdowns to this day. Australia 528 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: just went into another lockdown. It's just the lockdowns I 529 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: think have been by far the most damaging because it 530 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: shuts down the economy, it creates, you know, a paranoid society, 531 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: and it's going to take so many years to recover 532 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: from that that, Yeah, it's got to be the lockdowns. 533 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: Do you think we're ever going to really find out 534 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: what happened with this virus in the early days? I mean, 535 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: do you think where we're going to find out where 536 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: it really came from and what the Chinese Communist Party 537 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: did to make sure that the world didn't know where 538 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: it started. I hope so. And the role of social 539 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: media in censoring these voices who were trying to talk 540 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: about this. You know, there was a lot of legitimate 541 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: expert virologists and you know, other scientists in biological fields 542 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: who are trying to identify, you know, if any of 543 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: this stuff was genetically engineered and whatnot. And I think 544 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: it's time to you know, get these people back into 545 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: the spot. Like. Unfortunately, you know, these these Facebook, Twitter, 546 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: Instagram folks basically like censored these people out of the 547 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: conversation and marginalize them completely. So we need to, you know, 548 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: elevate the voices of actual experts who can get to 549 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: the bottom of this stuff. Jordan Shack tell everybody he's 550 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: been on this for the whole time, from begin one 551 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: of the few voices willing to be brave on this, 552 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: because if you wanted to be correct, you had to 553 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: be willing to go against the Fauci consensus. Go to 554 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: substack dot dot sia dot com for Jordan's latest Jordan, 555 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: thanks so much, man, appreciate it. Thanks book. There was 556 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: an email on April sixteenth, an email exchange between you 557 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: and NIH director Francis Collins. The email sent to you said, 558 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory gains MOMENTU and this again was the idea 559 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: of the lab league. Those emails though, as you can 560 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,479 Speaker 1: see on the screen, or I can see on the screen, 561 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: was all redacted between you and Francis Collins. Do you 562 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: have to remember? Do you remember, John? They only took 563 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: about ten thousand emails from me. Of course I remember, 564 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: I remember all ten thousand of them. Give me a 565 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: break to be clear. You're saying you don't remember, you 566 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: can't tell us. But what was in the body of that. 567 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: I don't remember what's in that redacted? But there I mean, 568 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: the idea I think is quite far fetched that the 569 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: Chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves 570 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: as well as other people. I think that's a bit 571 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: far out, John, That's not what most of the people 572 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: who are pushing the lab leak theory believe happened. But see, 573 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: this is a version of what we've seen before from Fauci. 574 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: Avoid the avoid the main argument by by attacking these 575 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: diversionary arguments. It's not that the Chinese intentionally released this 576 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: virus in their own population first and then hope that 577 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: because China has a billion people, they were going to 578 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: come out ahead of the rest of the world, right, 579 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: I mean, that's actually not the argument Now some people 580 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: may be arguing that, but what many of us are 581 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: saying is China was involved in doing this kind of research. 582 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: It was a place that the facilities, as we know, 583 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: had already had leaks in the past four leaks. I 584 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: believe that after the Stars scare, where you had about 585 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: seven hundred plus people die globally, but that was if 586 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: you got stars, you were in very very dire situation 587 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: of the much much higher mortality than what you had 588 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen. But the Stars situation created this sense 589 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: of urgency for the need to study these kinds of viruses. 590 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: And so what we're saying is that they were studying 591 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: it and then it got out and there was gain 592 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: and function research going on. So they weren't just they 593 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: didn't just collect viruses and look at them and try 594 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: to understand them. They collected viruses and were toying with them, 595 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: changing them, and then one of those viruses that does 596 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: occur naturally in nature got out of the lab and 597 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: then spread all over the world and killed millions of people. 598 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: That's the basis of the theory. But see what Fauci 599 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: wants to do is tell everybody, oh, they're just these 600 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: crazy people out there who were talking nonsense. There's just 601 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: all this absurd stuff. Why should anything really in these 602 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: emails be redacted? Think about that for a moment. This 603 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: isn't this isn't the CIA. They're not worried about sources 604 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: and methods. Why are there redactions in these emails from 605 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: the the nih you know, head of NAIAD, the National 606 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: Institive alergye Infectious Disease, which is under the umbrella of 607 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: the National Institute of Health. M Well, Fauci's just full 608 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: of it. He's skating all over the place here, trying to, 609 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: as you know, I always say, evade accountability. Here he 610 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: is on something near and dear to my heart. It's 611 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: all talk about masks in these emails, and how Matt 612 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: basically mocking the notion that masks are going to save 613 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: you from COVID. I mean it's really not. It's just 614 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: which we all know, right, masks they don't really do anything. 615 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: Can we finally? I love that we can finally say 616 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: that without everyone freaking out. I mean we said they 617 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: don't do anything. You know, you may you may prevent 618 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 1: yourself from you know, getting wet if you go out 619 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: in the rain by holding a coke can over your head. 620 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: But is that an effective means of stopping you from 621 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: getting wet in a rainstorm? But right, I mean, at 622 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: some point it's just it's just dumb. It doesn't work 623 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: well enough for anyone to care. I think that's where 624 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: we are with cloth masks against this aerosolized virus. But 625 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,720 Speaker 1: here's Bouchy on that point, specifically Play twelve. Well, you know, John, 626 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: let's get real here. If you look at scientific information 627 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: as it accumulates what is going on in January and February, 628 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: what you know as a fact, as data guides what 629 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: you tell people and your policies. If March April may occur, 630 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: you accumulate a lot more information, and you modify and 631 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: adjust your opinion and your recommendation based on the current 632 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 1: science and current data. So, of course, if we knew 633 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: back then that a substantial amount of transmission was asymptomatic people, 634 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: if we knew then that the data show that masks 635 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: outside of a hospital setting are actually do work when 636 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: we didn't know it. Then if we realize all of 637 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: those things back then, of course, asking a question, would 638 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: you have done something different if you know what you 639 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: know now? Of course, people would have done that. That's 640 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: so obvious. Where's that data? Fouch on the masks working 641 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: outside of a hospital setting? Where where's that data? Oh? 642 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 1: You mean the lab studies with spray bottles? Yeah, laughable garbage. 643 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: Criticizing such things as the sixteen nineteen project, you know, 644 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:31,320 Speaker 1: which tends to put that in date as something uniquely American. 645 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: There was a lot of slavery going on around the 646 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: world in the early sixteen hundreds. We fought the Civil 647 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: War in order to put our original sin behind us. 648 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: We passed the Voting Rights Act in nineteen sixty five 649 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: in order to further enfranchise minorities in our country. It's 650 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: been a long arc of trying to improve race relations 651 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: in this country. But I think trying to come completely 652 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: denigrade and downgrade American historical moments like seventeen seventy six, 653 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: seventeen eighty seven, nineteen sixty five critical moments is a mistake. 654 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: But I don't think the government's any better at prescribing 655 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: what ought to be taught than the universities themselves. But 656 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: they ought to be open to criticism about what they're doing. 657 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: So what exactly is Mitch McConnell saying about the solution. 658 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: Here he identifies when it comes to critical race theory, 659 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: much of the problem correctly. He understands that CRT seeks 660 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: to minimize, you know, the same way they accuse people 661 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: of minimizing the role of slavery in America from its origins, 662 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: and the sixteen nineteen Project does exactly that. We can say, well, 663 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: the other side minimizes that we had a civil war 664 00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: in this country, a brutal, bloody civil war or that 665 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, wounded many times more 666 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: than that, grievously wounded, people lost eyes, legs, arms, and 667 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: we fought a war to end slavery in this country. 668 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: And then after that went through a century or so 669 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: of continued effort to make real the promise of equality 670 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: fought for by the Union in the Civil War. And 671 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: we're just told that by cr team at the sixty 672 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: nineteen project not enough, not enough, not even close, not acceptable. 673 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: America's a racist, bad place. Really. Mitch McConnell pointed out 674 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: that there was a lot of slavery going on in 675 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: the world of the sixteen hundreds. That's true. In fact, 676 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: one of the places with the longest reach when it 677 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: came to the slave trade were the Barbary states of 678 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: North Africa. This is something that is often not taught 679 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: at all in schools. In fact, talk about something that's 680 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: that is edited out of basic history for people. We 681 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,839 Speaker 1: fought our first foreign war against the Barbary pirates right 682 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 1: to the shores of Tripoli because President Jefferson had had 683 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: enough of our people, Americans being enslaved by Muslim Arabs 684 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: in North Africa, taken off of ships, the men worked 685 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: to death and the women used in sexual slavery for 686 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: harems of wealthy Muslim Arabs in places like Tripoli and 687 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: what is presently today Algeria and Tunisia and Morocco. Right 688 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: that was going on for hundreds of years. Straight up slavery, 689 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: the Muslim slave trade of European Christians and American Christians 690 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: was what was happening. And they went as far as 691 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: These slaving raids or slave raids went as far as Iceland, Ireland, 692 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 1: all up and down the coasts of Italy and Spain. 693 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: They would seize white Christians and put them into into slavery, 694 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: and in fact, they often were worked in minds in 695 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: North Africa until they died. And they died rapidly because 696 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: of the absolutely horrific conditions, and the women were taken 697 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,439 Speaker 1: in prize for sexual slavery in the Harems. That's what 698 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: was going on for hundreds of years. Friends. You don't 699 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: often hear about this, do you. This is not something 700 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: that's really taught very much, but it's true. All throughout 701 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: the sixteen hundreds, all throughout the seventeen hundreds, this was reality. 702 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 1: And the Ottoman Empire, which is often talked about by 703 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,720 Speaker 1: leftist historians as this, you know, great and sophisticated and powerful. 704 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: It was powerful, and it did end up accumulating a 705 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: lot of other cultures knowledge and advancements. You'd call it 706 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 1: cultural appropriation if you want, including the Byzantine Empire, the 707 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: Eastern Orthodox Christian Empire that came before it. But the 708 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire was built as a slave empire. Does anybody 709 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: want to try to go back in history and look 710 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: at this and come to a different conclusion, I welcome 711 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 1: them to try. Massive slave trade from the Muslim Ottomans. 712 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: The slave trade existed in Sub Saharan Africa at the 713 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: time of the Transatlantic slave trade, and in fact, as 714 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 1: we know, the white slave traders who would show up 715 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: along the West African coast of what is today the 716 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: coast of Well coast of West African, including places like 717 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: night Jeria and and some of the smaller African states 718 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: alongside it. They would use the existing slave network inside 719 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: of Africa, where tribes would enslave other tribes and then 720 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 1: they would be sold to the white Transatlantic slave traders 721 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:25,280 Speaker 1: in what is unquestionably a horrific, inhumane, deeply immoral practice. 722 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: Many well, I can't even tell you the numbers, there'd 723 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: be estimates, but large percentage of those those enslaved Africans 724 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 1: died in that in transit, held in just the most 725 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: disgraceful conditions imaginable. So this is just to say that 726 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 1: these are horrific things. They should not have been done, 727 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: but human beings have been terrible to each other for 728 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: a long time. This is not new and this is 729 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: not unique to America. So if we're really going to 730 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: talk about this, if we're going to discuss the history 731 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,760 Speaker 1: of slavery and depression, let's really discuss it through history 732 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,399 Speaker 1: and all over the world, the Aztec Empire, you'll often 733 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: hear about how the conquest of the America's involved the 734 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: terrible treatment of the indigenous population here, right, and now 735 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: you have this new new term that is meant to 736 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: bring greater attention to indigenous populations bipoc, right, black indigenous 737 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: people and people of color. Well, the indigenous population of 738 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 1: the Americas was when you're talking about the Aztec Empire, 739 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 1: for example, they were not only engaged in massive slavery, 740 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: enslaving tribes and treating people like property, but also massive 741 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: human sacrifice. So we're going to talk about morality. You 742 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: start to look at what's going on here in places. 743 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 1: And remember we're talking about fifteen hundreds, talking about sixteen hundreds, 744 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: We're talking about periods of time here that are roughly equivalent. 745 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,720 Speaker 1: You could go back into slavery in the Bible and 746 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: the Jews in Egypt, and right, there's a reason why 747 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 1: throughout history when you look for slavery you find the 748 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: Roman Empire built on slavery. This, you know, human oppression 749 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 1: of other humans has been a constant in this country. 750 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: We actually had, thanks to the Constitution or the Declaration 751 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 1: of independence, thanks to the basic framework of our government, 752 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: we had the beginnings of the end of human bondage 753 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 1: and slavery put in place here. It wasn't as fast 754 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 1: as we wanted it to be. It wasn't as fast 755 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: as it should have been, right, And that's it's understandable 756 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: that we can go back and say that we wish 757 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: this had moved along much more quickly than it did. 758 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 1: But to ignore that process and to pretend that there 759 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: haven't been tremendous sacrifices made by many people outside of 760 00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: the minority community. Isn't it fascinating how you never get 761 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: to say in this country, you're told, under critical race 762 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 1: theory and the sixteen nineteen Project view of America, you're 763 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 1: told that there's a degree of guilt that you have 764 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: just by nature of being white. Right, if you're white, 765 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: you're part of the oppressive class in America. This is 766 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 1: central to critical race theory. This is central to the 767 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: teachings of the deconstructionists like Derita, these far left intellectuals. 768 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,400 Speaker 1: I mean, really, if you go back and see you 769 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: can trace critical race theory to those who believe in 770 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: who are putting forward moral relativism and the fashionable Marxist 771 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:48,240 Speaker 1: philosophies of European professors and European intellectuals from the nineteen 772 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: sixties and the nineteen seventies. That's where we get all 773 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 1: this critical race theory teaching. It's really the beginnings of 774 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 1: the origins of it, and then critical race theory just 775 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 1: tries to codify it into law. Critical race theory takes 776 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: it a step further and says, well, we're going to 777 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: explicitly pursue political power as a component of this, and 778 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: that that's where we currently are. But you'll notice that 779 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 1: it's it's never something you can say, well, you know 780 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 1: my ancestors, my ancestors fought in the Union. You know 781 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 1: I lost, and some of my some of my ancestors 782 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 1: died fighting to end slavery. So do I get if 783 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 1: I get the downside of being white in America today 784 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: under the description of race relations forwarded by critical race theory, 785 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,280 Speaker 1: Do I get to make a case that, well, my ancestors, actually, 786 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: some of them gave their lives fighting against the practice 787 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 1: of slavery? Does that know? No, of course, And then 788 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: you get into why am I even being held to 789 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: any standard based upon my ancestors. You should not hold 790 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 1: the son guilty for the sins of the father. You 791 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: certainly shouldn't hold somebody guilty for the sins of their 792 00:50:54,320 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: great great great grandfathers and yet to crt grapple with 793 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 1: any of this. No, it is racial Marxism. It is 794 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,720 Speaker 1: meant to tear this country apart and elevate the few 795 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: at the expense of the many, elevate those who run 796 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 1: the apparatus under the pretense that they're helping those who 797 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 1: are oppressed, but really they just want to be the 798 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 1: ones doing the oppressing. Right Otherwise, explain to me what 799 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and all these prominent Democrats, 800 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: what do they think they're really accomplishing with this the end, 801 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 1: it's just about power. It's certainly not about an accurate 802 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: reading of history. That's fine, I'm all for an accurate 803 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 1: reading of history. I'm not for the politicized, an exaggerated 804 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: version of specific points in history meant to justify abuse 805 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: of constitutional rights and equality under the law today
