1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: There's so much chaos right now, whether it's the f 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: A ordering all of flights grounded for the first time 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: since nine eleven, what you see at the southern border, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: or even the societal cultural chaos that we're saying. The 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Chicago Board of Education's Office of Inspector General at this 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: annual report found hundreds of Chicago Public school teachers were 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: accused of adult to students sexual misconduct and the two 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: thousand one to two thousand twenty two school year. So 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: what's behind this chaos, this intentional chaos? What's driving it? 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: What's the motive of the left. We're gonna get my 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 1: friends take Liz Wheeler, hosted The Liz Wheeler Show on 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: all of it. Also get into the fact that Joe 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: Biden mishandled classified information. What does that mean for him 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: and what does that mean for this investigation into former 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: President Trump. Also, as a new mom, what does she 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: think of that Chicago report? What does she think on 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: this attack that is happening on children, this grooming of children? 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: But more importantly, what does all of this mean? That 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: conversation with Liz Wheeler, my friend, the host of the 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: Liz Wheeler Show, Stay with us Liz Wheeler.

Your audience doesn't need you to say this, 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: but you're a delightful in person off camera as you 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: are on camera. Well, I feel the same way about you. 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: And and Liz, I was thinking about, you know, what 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: should we talk about today? Because there's so much going 31 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: on in the country and it's sad, you know. I mean, 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: you've got everything from the border to the f A 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: grounding planes, to a nationwide egg shortage to the grooming 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: of children. I mean, the list goes on and on 35 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: and on. What worries you the most about where we 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: are as a society today? Oh my goodness, this is 37 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: like the most depressing question in kind of a sorry, 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: I love you. Um, you know what worries me the 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: most is what's happening to our children. For a couple 40 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: of reasons. As a mom, it scares me to think 41 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: of allowing my daughter, who turns to next week to 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: be exposed to almost anything that exists outside of our home. 43 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: And I know that sounds over protectionist, but think about 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: all the queer theory stuff, all the critical race theory stuff, 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: all the your parents are domestic terrorists stuff. I mean, 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: this is this is really nasty, insiduous stuff. It's the 47 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: first time, I think, at least in my lifetime I'm 48 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: thirty three, that I can say without hesitation that the 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: radical left, or the progressives, or the Marxists, whatever you 50 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: want to call them, it's all the same thing that 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: they are assaulting children on per this in order to 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: try to topple the civil institution of the family. They've 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: already come for marriage itself, They've already come for gender 54 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: and for sex, and their their sites are now set 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: on children. And that really terrifies me, not only as 56 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: a mom protecting my individual child, but because that really 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: is a way to It's a strategy from the left, 58 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: and it's an effective strategy to co opt the next generation, 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: to transform these children into ideological minions of their of 60 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: their of their Marxism. And that's not something I like 61 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: to see in this country. And I think that that's 62 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: the most important thing that we fight back again. Well, 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: and I also worry. You know, obviously there's the internal 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: threat about what the left is doing to children here 65 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: in the United States, but I also worry externally when 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: you look at things like TikTok and China's hand in 67 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: that if you know, with intention, they're indoctrinating an entire 68 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: generation of young people and what that means for for 69 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: future generations and what it means for our country. Oh yeah, 70 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: So this is funny that you brought this up because 71 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: is my youngest sister is thirteen years younger than me, 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: So I'm thirty three, she's twenty. She's a junior in college, 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: and she has TikTok. She has TikTok because all the 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: gen z ears have TikTok. And I kind of jokingly 75 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: harassed her about this because I may be one of 76 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: the only millennials even that doesn't have TikTok. But I 77 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: did an episode on my show about the It was 78 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: actually about a Reddit post from an engineer who had 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: reverse engineered the code behind behind TikTok. What what is 80 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: written into the algorithm of TikTok, what's the intent? And 81 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: what this engineer found is that it's an influence operation. 82 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: It is it's not just propaganda, it's not just garbage. 83 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: It is those things, but it also tracks everybody's um 84 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: key strokes, not because they're just trying to collect a 85 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: data on you, but because they're trying to get to 86 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: know each and every user so that they can feed 87 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: you things on um On TikTok whatever the homepage is 88 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: called on TikTok. I'm gonna date myself as a millennial 89 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: by not even knowing what it's called the four You 90 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: part um and so that they can get to know 91 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: you and serve you things that interest you, but also 92 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: know exactly how to drop certain content that will slowly 93 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: trickle by trickle change your mind on pivotal cultural issues. 94 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: It is actually an operation to change the entire mindset 95 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: of this young generation of Americans, and it's being run 96 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 1: by the Chinese Communist Party. This is not a conspiracy theory. 97 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: It's a conspiracy. It's happening, and you can see the 98 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: effects of this. I told my sister, I was like, listen, 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: I know that you think that um that politics is 100 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: for mint per boomers and a certain extent, But I 101 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: was like, you don't have to listen to my episode 102 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: if you don't want, but you've got to get off 103 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: the tick that well, don't feel old because well, I 104 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: guess you know, I'm a I'm a millennial technically about 105 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: to be thirty eight. So it's like I I always 106 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: add the caveat of like young ish because it's like 107 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm not really I'm leaving the young category and you know, 108 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: getting old their here. But I'm not on TikTok either, 109 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: for the reasons you just stated, and knowing that it's 110 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: a Chinese up and and you know, and and also 111 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: just not needing to be involved in any of that stuff. 112 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: But you know, to your point, these young people are 113 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: easily being braidwashed with it. And we we look at 114 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: the gen Z turnout for Democrats in the mid term elections, 115 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know how we rate that ship 116 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: as a country and try to change these minds that 117 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: have already been poisoned. I think it's a Congressman Mike 118 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: Gallagher and Senator Marco Rubio introduced to build a band 119 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: TikTok in the United States, and I'm completely on board 120 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: with us. I think that we absolutely should ban TikTok 121 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: if it's owned So the parent company of TikTok is 122 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: called Byte Dance b y t e Bite Dance, and 123 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: that company is based in China. They have ties to 124 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party, as all companies in China do it. 125 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: It's essentially just a tool of the Chinese Communist Party. 126 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: I see no reason why we shouldn't declare that to 127 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: be a national security risk when the there've been employees 128 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: of byte Dance and TikTok in China that admit that 129 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: all of this data, all of this data that's being 130 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: collected on Americans who use the up here in this 131 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: country can be accessed by employees of TikTok at any time, 132 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: which means the Chinese coming as parties obviously using it. 133 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the the Chinese know that TikTok is dangerous 134 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: because the version of TikTok in China, which has a 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: different name but it's the same app. They don't allow 136 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: twerking and queer theory to go viral on TikTok all 137 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: the time like they do here in the United States. 138 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they promote like mathematics and engineering and respect 139 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: for your elders in China because they and they limit 140 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: it to certain ages of people in certain amount of 141 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: hours of day that children in China are allowed to 142 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: be on this app because they fully understand the destructive 143 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: for us. So, I mean, I don't think we have 144 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: to sit here and just bemoaned that young people are 145 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: addicted to this. We should we should ban it. I 146 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: agree with you. I do think it needs to be 147 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: banned as well. You know, you look at like, there's 148 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: the recent report that you know, the Chicago Board of 149 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: Educations Office of Inspector General and Annual report found hundreds 150 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: of Chicago Public school teachers were accused of adult to 151 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: students sexual misconduct from two thousand twenty two school year. 152 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: I think they opened something like four cases investigating teachers 153 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: for grooming, sexual assaulting, or raping students. You know, I 154 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: always ask myself sometimes when we cover these things, has 155 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: this been going on and we're just now paying attention 156 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: to it, or or all these things getting worse? Yeah, 157 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a valid question because my inclination to 158 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: answer this, on my speculation, I guess, would be that 159 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, it's always happened because this has 160 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: always been part of this has always been sins, has 161 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: always been evil. That's always existed. I think that it's 162 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: gotten worse because of the culture that we've allowed to 163 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: take root in our country. Right, We've allowed perverted sex 164 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: to become not just normalized, but celebrated. We've allowed this 165 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: idea that public school teachers are not just there to 166 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, but are there to ideologically 167 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: groom children into neo Marxist sexual identities. I mean that's 168 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: of course, that's going to lead to more crimes being 169 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: committed in more creeps wanting to enter that field. So 170 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: I might, like said, I don't have the day, I 171 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: don't have the data in front of me, but my 172 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: speculation would be that it's always existed, but it's escalating. 173 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: Quick commercial break more with Liz Wheeler. I'm not a 174 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: mom yet, I guarantee you're an amazing momb um. How 175 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: do we protect children in this environment? You know how 176 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: scary is it to be a mom in today's society. Well, 177 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: my daughter hasn't turned two yet, so I may not 178 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: be the expert in answering this question. Yes, maybe you 179 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: should check back with me in like twenty years to 180 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: see if she turned out well. But I can tell 181 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: you what I'm doing we'll do it, but we'll put 182 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: it on the calendar list exactly. Checkup, checkup. Gosh, that's 183 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: so much pressure for me. Um, what I'm doing is 184 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm I'm treating my husband and I. It's 185 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: not just me, of course, I'm I'm treating our home 186 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: as shelter from evil. That the environment in our home, 187 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: our nuclear family, is the place where my daughter can 188 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: feel safe, the place where my daughter learns right from wrong, 189 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: the place where my daughter is grounded in faith, the 190 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: place where my daughter learns to trust adults that should 191 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: be trusted. To create this bond between she and you know, 192 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: her father and I, and my hope is to equip 193 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: her so that when she does go out into the world, 194 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: she already has an understanding of what is right and 195 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: what is wrong. So when she encounters wrong, when she 196 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: encounters evil, even if that evil is targeting her, even 197 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: if somebody is trying to groom her and evil, she 198 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: recognizes that something is not right, and she is then 199 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: able to come to her dad and me and say, hey, mom, Dad, 200 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: something is not right, and we are then able to 201 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: explain it to her. Because it's unrealistic to think that 202 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to be able or that you're going 203 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: to be able to shelter your child from everything you 204 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: You simply can't. But what you can do is you 205 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: can give them shelter from evil while you form them 206 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: into the moral beings that you want. And so that's 207 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: the philosophical part of it. The practical part of it is, 208 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: at least I'm on a homeschooler, I am not. There 209 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: is over my dead body will she ever set foot 210 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: in a public school in in this culture? And I 211 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: think I I mean I was homeschooled, so I'm already 212 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: familiar with that, comfortable with it, confident in it, and 213 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: biased towards it. But particularly given what's happening in public 214 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: schools that you walk in too, I mean even primary 215 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: grade classrooms and you see Black Lives Matter flags on 216 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the wall, you see Ukraine flags on the wall, you 217 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: see you know, pronoun friendly posters and and Pride Pride 218 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: UH stickers and all this kind of stuff that's supposed 219 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: to signal the students that it's a LGBTQ friendly zone. 220 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to put her in that environment because 221 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: it is unrealistic to think that you could send a 222 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: child to be indoctrinated in that environment and that they 223 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: won't turn out to be a leftist that I am 224 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: going to keep her away from. You know, I probably 225 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought about homeschooling, uh, you know before until 226 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: everything we've learned about the school systems as of late 227 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: in recent years and really just seeing the direction in 228 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: the country is heading, and now it would definitely be 229 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: something that I would consider for my hypothetical children that 230 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: don't exist. You uh, but you know, it does seem like, 231 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, naming all those things that you just did, 232 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: that there's this intentional chaos that's happening in society, both 233 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: from a cultural front and then just really on all 234 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: this other stuff, whether it's the border, whether it's you know, 235 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: it's supply chain crisis, whether it's what's happening with gas 236 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: prices and energy. I mean, it's all just this intentional 237 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: chaos that they seem to be creating. I agree, And 238 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: this is a one of the things that I try 239 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: to do on my show because there's I feel like 240 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: there's so it's it's so obvious to so many of 241 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: us that things are going wrong. Right. It's not like 242 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: you and I need to sit here and be like, dang, 243 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: this is the environment here is terrible. Our children under assault, 244 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: and we can all see that that's happening. And so 245 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: one of the things that I've tried to do in 246 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: the last year on my show, it's take a step 247 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: back or zoom out and be like, Okay, we acknowledge 248 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: that what it is is of what's happening. Now let's 249 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: look at the why it's happening, the who is behind this, 250 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: what is the agenda, what what is this ideology that's 251 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: causing this intentional chaos, because we can we can sit 252 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: here and we can say, well, it's really bad that 253 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: the borders are open. It's really bad that, you know, 254 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: these civil institutions like the education system and a family 255 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: are under assault. But I have found it very helpful 256 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: in ordering my response to these things to understand um 257 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: the ideology behind it. So, for example, when I'm talking 258 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: about assault on children or assault on the family, it 259 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: was very It's been very helpful for me to read 260 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: this old Marxist from the nineteen thirties named Antonio Grumsey, 261 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: who probably your listeners are very familiar with his name, 262 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: but he was the one who essentially morphed twentieth century 263 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: communism or Marxism into twenty one century Marxism, meaning he 264 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: shifted Karl Marx's original vision for a worker led revelueation 265 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: where the working class um stages of revolution and overthrows 266 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: this this ruling class based on economic dissatisfaction. Drum See said, Okay, well, 267 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: we can see for a fact that that's not going 268 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: to happen anymore, right, that we're not going to have 269 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: a working class based on economic discomfort that are going 270 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: to overthrow these these these horrible villains of capitalists. And 271 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,359 Speaker 1: he said, the way to actually overthrow these Western capitalist 272 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: government institutions is actually to come for the cultural institutions first, 273 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: the civil institutions, the education system, and marriage and women 274 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: and men and their traditional roles and um religion and 275 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: faith and all of these things that are not of 276 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: the government, but they underpin our society in a way 277 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: that props up our American version of government. And what 278 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean by that is this idea that we have 279 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: a government with enumerating powers that has that is a 280 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: limited government it's supposed to infringe on our lives as 281 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: little as possible. That actually can't work unless you have 282 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: these strong cultural institutions on which people rely because if 283 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: you don't have people relying on their own families, their spouses, 284 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: their parents, their children, even their communities, their churches, then 285 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: they what do they rely on? Then they need to 286 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: rely on the government. And you cannot have a limited 287 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: government when people are relying and maths on the government. 288 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: So it's this, it's this new this this modern Marxism 289 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: that we're seeing right now being on leash in our country. 290 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: And it's been very helpful for me in properly ordering 291 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: my response to I like your phrase that intentional chaosks 292 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: to understand exactly what's behind it. I totally agree with you. 293 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: You know, they're trying to remove the anchors that hold 294 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: us down as human beings and give us independence from 295 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: the government, because you know, the attended purposes obviously to 296 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: drive us oh to the government. And you know, we 297 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: talk about the grooming of children, but there's almost but 298 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: there's also this larger grooming of society that's happened ato 299 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: and we saw that during COVID it was more pronounced 300 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: than perhaps ever or with just this you know, shutting 301 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: out of businesses, this force of vaccinations, this paying people 302 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: to stay home, and become reliant upon the government. And 303 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: I there's been this reshaping of I think society's viewpoint 304 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: on the role of government. And that's concerning to me 305 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: as well, of that sort of grooming that's happened totally. 306 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: I call it conditioning society because they're they're that's exactly 307 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: what it is. They're grooming, And the definition of grooming 308 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: is conditioning somebody to do something. In this case, they're 309 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: conditioning society to accept a more Marxist form of government. 310 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: And I mean this has been a long time coming, 311 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: even towards even aimed at adults in our society. It 312 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: accelerated during COVID, when all of a sudden in the 313 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: past two three or four years, we see all these 314 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: d e I programs, the diversity equity and inclusion programs 315 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: um emerge, not just in schools but in the workplace. 316 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: These phrases became very common to people. Most people are like, oh, yeah, 317 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: we do have a diversity equity and inclusion officer at 318 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, my job, or we had this diversity training 319 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. That's conditioned society to to 320 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: view the world in actually what the Marxist qualities is 321 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: critical thought to view the world through this lens of 322 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: the critical theories that emerged from the Marxist Frankfurt School 323 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: in Germany a hundred years ago, almost a hundred years ago, 324 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: and the d e I programs that are just about 325 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: universal right now, are are anchored in these institutions. You 326 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: and I as consumers, whether we send our children to schools, 327 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: or whether you know we went to colleges where this existed, 328 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: whether this is in our workplace wherever it might be. 329 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: We can't just use our money or our voices and say, 330 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: waitch a second, we're protesting against this. We don't want 331 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: to shop here if you have this, If you have 332 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: this policy, we don't want to set our kids here, 333 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: if your school teaching this, we don't want to work here. 334 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: If you're going to force this on us in the workplace, 335 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: we've lost our power negotiating power because of the E 336 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: s G stuff, because of the Environmental, Social and Governance metrics, 337 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: which is essentially a so show credit score system that 338 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: rewards all of these different types of institutions, schools and 339 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: workplaces and businesses rewards them with a higher rating on 340 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: this on this metric. If they push d e I, 341 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: if they push diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the punishment 342 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: if they don't. It's not just this positive reinforcement with 343 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: high rating, the punishment if they don't, if they lose 344 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: access to capital in the market. They're not able to 345 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: run their business if they don't obtain this higher E. 346 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: S G score rating. So it really is deeply infiltrated 347 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: into our society right now. And so we're I mean, yes, 348 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: it's it's conditioning the American population to accept, at some 349 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: point in the nearer and nearer future, the fact that 350 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: the left does not like the American system of government. 351 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: The Left is not like our country. They want to 352 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: fundamentally transform it. And when we ask the question, well, 353 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: transform it into what the answer is a nation that 354 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: is not free. Well, and we're seeing some of that 355 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: play out even within the Biden administration. I mean, you 356 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: have various people and positions of power, whether it's Kamala Harris, 357 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge who had been put there for you know, 358 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: checking box sake, and that's not worked out because these 359 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: people are not competent enough to hold their positions. And 360 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: we even just look at what happened recently with the 361 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: first you know, the f A ordering all flights grounded 362 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: for the first time since nine eleven. Uh, in the 363 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: incompetency at the Department of Transportation. So, I mean we 364 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: can see in real time, even just looking at the 365 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: Biden administration, how when you get away from a merit 366 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: based system, Uh, it leads to to failure and incompetency. Yeah, 367 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's terrible what happened with the The worst 368 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: example of this actually, or maybe maybe not the worst 369 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: from a policy standpoint, but the most egregious pr example 370 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: of this is Sam Brenton, right, the luggage thief that 371 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: was formerly employed by Biden's Department of Education. That's that's 372 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: weird o, creepo, sicko who cross stressed constantly called himself 373 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: a pop handler, which is some weird bondage term for 374 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: liking to walk other men around with leathered chains around 375 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: their necks. Some some really sick, sexual, twisted fantasy that 376 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: he had in this That was hired obviously because he 377 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: was non binary, because he was um, because he checked 378 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: those lgbt Q privilege points boxes. But look at what happened, 379 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: ended up stealing people's luggage at the airport like a derange, 380 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: like the deranged individual that he was. That's the outcome 381 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: of it. Um, Like I said, maybe that's maybe that's 382 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: not Maybe didn't didn't have the biggest effect on policy. 383 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: Maybe Pete Buddha Judge has had the worst effect on policy. 384 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: But it actually scares me as a frequent traveler. You 385 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: travel a lot, Lisa, I travel a lot. It scares 386 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: me to think that our f a it's computer system 387 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: is so outdated there's been no updates, very little maintenance 388 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: on it that Pete Buddah Judge is supposed to be overseeing, 389 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: Like what happens when this actually impacts flights when they're 390 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: in the air. That terrifies me. Well. And also to 391 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: worry about the vulnerability with potential cyber attacks, right because 392 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: we don't know what the root cause of this actually 393 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: it was, and so you know, I think it's fair 394 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: to also be concerned about potential cyber but just the 395 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: vulnerability and just the failure on so many parts with 396 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: Pete Boodha Judge, whether it was the you know, the 397 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: rail strike or supply global supply chain issues, the Southwest chaos, 398 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: and you know, the list goes on. Uh. You know, Liz, 399 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to to get your take on this new 400 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: development with Joe Biden having classified documents. Let's take a 401 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: listen to an interview that he did with Scott Kelly 402 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: from sixty minutes, and then I want to get your 403 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: take on all of this. On the other side, when 404 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid 405 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: out on the floor of mar Lago, what did you 406 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: think to yourself looking at that image, how that could 407 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: possibly happen? How want anyone could be that a response 408 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: of all? And I thought, what data was in there 409 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: that may compromise sources and methods. By that, I mean 410 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: names of people who helped there, et cetera. And it 411 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: just totally irresponsible. And you don't know what was in 412 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: those documents. I have not asked for the specifics of 413 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: those documents because I don't want to get myself in 414 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: the middle of whether or not the Just Department should 415 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: move or not move on certain actions they can take. 416 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: I agreed, I would not tell them what to do, 417 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: and not in fact engage in telling them how to 418 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: prosecute or not. So, Liz, point being is that you 419 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: know Joe Biden sat there criticizing President Trump for holding 420 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: classified information. Turns out that he had classified information still 421 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: hanging on from his time being a vice president, included 422 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: briefing materials about Ukraine, Iran, and the United Kingdom, along 423 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: with some other documents as well. What are your thoughts 424 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, hearing this news, I think, well, 425 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: first of all, it's so funny, like what kind of 426 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: doddering idiot of a president sits in the National Interview 427 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: and goes, no, I know nothing about the biggest story 428 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: that's happening in the United States right now. Like, come on, man, 429 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: at least at least pretend that you know what's going 430 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: on here. It's just showmanship, Lisa. I mean, he said 431 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: he hadn't been brief in these documents, so how does 432 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: he know exactly what these documents are. President Trump claims 433 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: that this is just a dispute over ownership um of 434 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: documents that he claimed where his personal documents, and the 435 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: National Archives said nope, this belongs to the government. It's 436 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: it's Here's the thing. A lot of people are saying, oh, 437 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a hypocrite because now that he's been 438 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: found to have mishandled clots fight information, they are just 439 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: painting it as an accident and they did the right thing, 440 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: and they cooperated with the National Archives. But it's not 441 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: actually hypocrisy, because the hypocrite is someone who thinks that 442 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: if they break the rules, they will just get away 443 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: with it. That's not what Joe Biden believes. Joe Biden 444 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: is an elitist. He believes that he deserves to play 445 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: by a different set of rules than President Trump, or 446 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: than you or me. That's a very very different thing. 447 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing pervasively on the left right now. 448 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: If they don't, they don't they don't think that we 449 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: should play by the same rules. They think that we 450 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: deserve to be prosecuted, we deserve to be silence, we 451 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 1: deserve to be canceled because we either dare to support 452 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: Trump or were conservatives or a Christian, or we simply 453 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: dissent from the radical leftist ideology. Well, and it's also 454 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, President Trump, Presidents have the ultimate authority. It's 455 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: a classified documents. The vice president does not, So you know, 456 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: him him being in possession or his team being a 457 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: possession of these documents is you know, actually criminal compared 458 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: to you know, President Trump, who can to classify whatever 459 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: he wants. But it's also weird eat. I think we 460 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: need to learn more about this. Uh. The penn Biden 461 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, which opened during the 462 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: Trump administration. It's a Washington based think tank with the 463 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania. But apparently Biden had an office at 464 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: the center from mid two seventeen to the start of 465 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: the presidential campaign, and they paid them more than nine 466 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. There's just always these sketchy connections with 467 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden on the foreign policy front, and either he's 468 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: profiting or his family's profiting from it. Nobody for one 469 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: second believes that Biden was in charge of a think tank. 470 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this is just one of those 471 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: that all politicians do this, or many politicians do this, 472 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: especially the highest level politicians. Between when they run for office, 473 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: they create these organizations or think tanks, and uh portray 474 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: themselves as being very productive and and and adding adding 475 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: I don't know, thoughts and research to the ongoing conversation 476 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: about whatever topic they pretend to be an expert in. 477 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: But we all know that it's just them setting themselves 478 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: up for their next presidential run. There's no way that 479 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: anything productive happened at this so called think tank of 480 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's. And here's the other. Here's the other difference 481 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: between mar Lago and the Penn Biden Center Lisa. That is, 482 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: mar Lago is the residence of a former president. It 483 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: is locked down by Secret Service. So Trump's office, which 484 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: is his office at mar Lago, was more or less secure. 485 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: There wasn't going to be people that were just wandering 486 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: into this office the Secret Service in addition to to 487 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: Trump's security, because Marlago is a is a club, a 488 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: private club. This this is a relatively secure, if not 489 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: very secure facility. The pen, the Penn Biden or the 490 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Biden Pen Center, uh is not secured. This was in 491 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: a box, in a closet, in an unsecured location. What 492 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: do you think this means for the investigation into former 493 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: President Trump? Does it make it harder for them to 494 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: try to pursue charges against him? If they were honest people, yes, 495 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: if they believed that we should all play by the 496 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: same rules, then yes. But the Democrats are so desperate 497 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: to stop Trump from running in any way possible that 498 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that it's going to make a difference. 499 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: The other thing about this and I'm kind of sad 500 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: to say this because I wish that it was a 501 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: bigger deal. But I think that for the vast majority 502 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: of the American public, even even the voting electorate, I 503 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: don't think the vast majority of people care about this. 504 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: Is my just you care about this, and as much 505 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: as I care about this, because we care about this, 506 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: because we're we're obsessed with politics. This is what we 507 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: do for a living. This is what we do for 508 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: a hobby. This is this is our thing. But most people, 509 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: that's not going to change the way that they cast 510 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: their vote. They're not going to clutch their pearls and 511 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: be like, oh no, Trump and A handled classified information. 512 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: But Biden did too. Therefore, the Democrats are hypocrites and 513 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: I'm going to become Republican because of that. I wish 514 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: that were the case, but I guess my cynical view 515 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: is I don't think that it's going to change anything. 516 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: And I think in this case, democrats realize that Democrats 517 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: oftentimes gauge the temperature of the political environment better than 518 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: Republicans do. They realize that they can, in the eyes 519 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: of voter, get away with some of this stuff, and 520 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: they can in the eyes of the voter get away 521 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: with still leveraging or levying this, this investigation against Trump, 522 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: because the only people who are going to be really 523 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: really annoyed about it, really angry and indignant about it, 524 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: are going to be those of us who UH already 525 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: think of the left is dishonest and corrupt. Do you 526 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: think it's that Democrats gauge it better or do you 527 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: think it's just that they control the process because they 528 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: controlled the media. Probably both. I think that they're just 529 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: they're more sad, they're more savage fighters, right like they're 530 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: they're based in their own way. They like what what happened? 531 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: Let me give him a zoomed out example of this. 532 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: So what happened with the Speaker of the House election 533 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: this past week when we had these twenty Republican rebels 534 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: who just held Kevin McCarthy hostage until he gave them 535 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: what they demanded from the House of Rules package. It was. 536 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: I found it so delightful and entertaining and funny and 537 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: great to watch. I was so proud of them. Was 538 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: the first time that I UH felt a positive feeling 539 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: about a member in Congress in a really long time. 540 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: That the way that they fought is the way that 541 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: Democrats usually fight. Democrats are usually the one. It's usually 542 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and her her ilk who are holding Republicans 543 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: hostage and refusing to bend me even when everyone else 544 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: is pressuring them, people in their own party, people in 545 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: the media, people even voters. But that kind of fighting 546 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: from Republicans, that's the first time I can remember Republicans 547 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: fighting that way. Usually we see that from Democrats. So 548 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: I think they do have a better understanding of how 549 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: to play not play dirty, but play dirty in politics 550 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: better than Republicans do. And then, of course they have 551 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: the added advantage of they're not going to get the 552 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: same kind of pushback because they controlled the media apparatus 553 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: and the big text combody. Well, I do worry about 554 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: the reaction to it, because I agree with you. I 555 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: think what they did was noble and needed. I mean, 556 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't really about McCarthy. Was a process fight, you know, 557 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: in trying to change the way that the House does business, 558 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: because Nancy Pelosi had really changed the rules to give 559 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House more authority and you know, 560 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: basically like a dictatorship, which is what the left does. 561 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: But the but the response to it concerned me because 562 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: to your point, you know, we need fighters, right, We've 563 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: got a big but we saw what happened during COVID. 564 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: We we know what their objective is for the country. 565 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: We know what direction the country is head egg and 566 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: so we need people with a stomach for it for 567 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: the fight ahead. And you know, we didn't see that 568 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: as much as I think we we should have should 569 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: have hoped for in terms of the response to to 570 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: that small group of Republicans putting up a fight. No, 571 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: there were a lot of Republicans who were opposed to that. 572 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: And this is republicans in elected office, This is republicans 573 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: in in commentary, this is voters. And I view this. 574 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I view this in a positive way, not because it's 575 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: not because it's a good thing, but I viewed this 576 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: in a positive way because it's better that we know 577 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: who are the fighters on our side. It's better that 578 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: we know who has that fire in their belly to 579 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: stand strong in their principles, and it's better that we 580 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: know who not to trust. I mean, there were there 581 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: are actually some players even in the United States Congress, 582 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: who portrayed themselves to be fighters and took the wrong 583 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: side on this and it's good to know. It's good 584 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: for us to know who we can trust and who 585 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: we can count on and who we can't. So if that, 586 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: if that's all part of the purifying process, and I 587 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: say that as a Catholic meaning like the purgatory type 588 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: process that I'm okay with us quick break more worthless. 589 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: What do you think it means for the fight ahead 590 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: in the House? You know, I mean, look at the 591 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: powers that Republicans in a small majority are going to have. 592 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: It's essentially power of the purse and then also oversight 593 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: an investigative authority. Uh, you know, what do you want 594 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: to see from them and using those powers? I want 595 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: to see investigations. I want to see committees, the committees 596 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: like the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government. And I 597 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: was talking about this on I showed the other day 598 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: because I said, there's something from this committee that I 599 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: don't want to see. We have we have an experience 600 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: even with Republicans in Congress, where they hold these people 601 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: who we assume or accused of being corrupt in front 602 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: of them, and they interviewed them. And sometimes these interviews 603 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: or even brutal, sometimes they get really viral. Good informative 604 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: clips that show um that show the subject who was 605 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: being interviewed to be a bad person, to be a liar, 606 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: to to be corrupt, and that's oftentimes where they leave it. 607 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: They leave it with a viral Twitter video. They leave 608 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: it with oh, look I I did. I let me 609 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: this incredible SmackDown against somebody. And I don't want to 610 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: see that from this Congress. I don't want them just 611 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: to use this as an opportunity to to increase their 612 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: own influence or to fundraise what I want to see 613 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: as a mechanism of accountability. I want them to do 614 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: again what the Democrats do. I want them to pursue 615 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: these investigations with the goal in their mind of either 616 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: referring for prosecution or finding that there wasn't anything to 617 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: refer for prosecution. I don't want them just to be like, ha, 618 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: we told you, and like pound their fist on the 619 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: table and be like that was a stupid answer. Democrats 620 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: are idiots. No, No, I want people who have violated 621 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: the law to be held accountable and to be prosecuted 622 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: for it. The House of Representatives is controlled by Republicans. 623 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: Now Republicans seat the seat who they want on committees 624 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: right now, we should be mercilessly investigating everything from the 625 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: FBI's um role in January six to the FBI's role 626 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: in the Gretchen with Ore fed napping, to the raid 627 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: on maur A Longo. We should go back and zoom 628 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: out on the Department of Justice, on the weaponization of 629 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security against parents who opposed critical 630 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: race theory and schools, the Department of Education and their 631 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: collusion with teachers unions who are corrupt entities themselves. We 632 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: should lay there the corruption, the Fauci, corruption with Big Pharma, 633 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: all of this stuff, and the goal should be referral 634 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: for prosecution if we believe what we say, what we 635 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: constantly say that these people don't just hold a different opinion. 636 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: They're not just pushing different policies than we support, but 637 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: they've committed actual crimes against our country. I mean, the 638 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: frustrating part is, you know, Merrick Garland's not going to 639 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: do anything with you know, the referrals. But I totally 640 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: agree with you and the fact that you know, we 641 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: need to bring this information today and I hope to 642 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: like I would, what I'd love to see from them 643 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: is actually put forth some reforms, you know, to to 644 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: to get to the wide to get to what happened. 645 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: But then also you know, what should we do about it? Right? 646 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: How do you make government better? And you know, I 647 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: mean even in the fight with Kevin McCarthy and you know, 648 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: getting to the fifteenth ballot, Congress has approval rating. I 649 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: actually think the American people would be receptive two Republicans 650 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: putting forth changes. Right, you know, how do we how 651 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: do we make Congress work better for the people? Answer 652 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: to the people, more accountable? How do we make government 653 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: more accountable? So, you know, I hope they put forward 654 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: some reforms and changes, even if they're not going to 655 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: get implemented right now, but just putting it forward to 656 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: the people to see. One of the things that I 657 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: think the new Rules Package is going to give the 658 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: Congress the opportunity to do. And this is something that 659 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: I've long advocated that whenever Republicans are in charge of 660 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: either the Senate or the House, that we should be 661 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: doing this constantly is bringing every single issue in a 662 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 1: very simplistic form to a vote. And Republicans actually avoid 663 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: this the same as Democrats do, which annoys me a 664 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: lot um. But one of the things that even if 665 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: you have like this Republican Congress has no opportunity to 666 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: actually pass legislation, right, it's going to be immediately immediately, 667 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: it's going to immediately die in the Senate. Even if 668 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: it passed the Senate, it would be vetoed by by Biden. 669 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: So the legislative power of this Congress is not it's 670 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: not great, it's very minimal. But what they have the 671 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to do is they have the opportunity to expose 672 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats for the radical positions that they hold. So 673 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: it takes school choice for example, we all know that 674 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: across the country, most parents support school choice. Most Democrat 675 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: parents support school choice, Most Republican parents supports school choice. 676 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: White parents, Black parents, Hispanic parents. The majority of people 677 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: support school choice. The only people that don't support school 678 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: choice are the Democrats in Congress. These these white liberals 679 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: for the most part, that run the Democratic Party and 680 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: the Republican Party in the House. Right now is an 681 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: incredible opportunity to get these Democrat members of Congress on 682 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: the wreck heard saying that they oppose a policy that 683 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: their constituents actually support. So it's an opportunity to create 684 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: that wedge between Democrat constituents and Democrat members of Congress. 685 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,919 Speaker 1: That's a hugely important role for this Congress to play 686 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: since they do have a minimal legislative ability, given the 687 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: fact that you know, they don't have the Senate or 688 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: the House. There's any number of issues that they could 689 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: put to a vote and see that the Democrats are 690 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: out of step with the American people, and then use 691 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: that to try to actually invite people who might not 692 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: be the traditional Republican voter to vote for members, to 693 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: vote for members of Congress, to vote for a politician 694 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: in the Republican party who better suits their interest. Totally 695 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: agree on that. And then also, you know, we have 696 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: seen some slight movement in terms of you know, you've 697 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: got Joe Biden visiting the border, although it was you know, 698 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: a fake visit, but he at least made the trip. 699 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: Uh you know, yeah, totally fake, but you know, at 700 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: least he went there, right, but not giving him any 701 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: credit whatsoever, but he did this obviously as republic Cans 702 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: take the helm of the House, knowing that he's going 703 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: to be investigated, as border policies are going to be investigated. Uh. 704 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: And then we have the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin formally 705 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: rescinding his August two thousand, twenty one vaccine mandate as well. Uh, 706 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, and this is because of basically Congress pushing 707 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: him on it over the National Defense Authorization Act, So 708 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, a slight movement, right, And then you know, 709 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: there's also caveats with that in the sense that everyone 710 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: who's kicked out is not being reinstated, and and you know, 711 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: it's still up to the discretion of people in the 712 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: authority of you know, kind of giving these individuals assignments 713 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: and whatnot. But anyways, point bang is, there has been 714 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: some you know movement, right at least some positioning and 715 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: pushing the Biden administration a little bit in a better direction, definitely, 716 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: and it's it's largely thanks to the Republicans who have 717 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: that fire in their belly, who don't just say, well, shrug, 718 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: I'm here in Congress, but since we're since we don't 719 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: have any legislative power, I guess I'll just get coffee 720 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: here and kind of trying to make friends with these 721 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: people that hate me on the other side. No, no, 722 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: these are people that said, listen, minority, even if you're 723 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: in a minority coalition. We still are a minority party. 724 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: We still have some power, and we should use that 725 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: to to the fullest extent. I mean, when I talk 726 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: about what I want Congress, what I want McCarthy to 727 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: bring to the floor to vote on, I'm talking about 728 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: every issue like he should have. He should get all 729 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 1: the Democrats on the record on abortion. Will they will 730 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: they all refuse to ban later an abortion because the 731 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: majority of the American people opposed that. Will they all 732 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: vote in favor of vaccine mandates because the majority of 733 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: the American people opposed that. Will they all vote to 734 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: send more of our money to Ukraine for endless wars, 735 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: which I know they're doing in real life. It doesn't 736 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: have to be hypothetical because the majority of American people 737 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: opposed that. I mean, there there's all kinds of things 738 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: related to what these kitchen table economic issues as well 739 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: as cultural or social issues. I mean, talk about queer 740 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: theory and critical race theory. Parents again across the aisle 741 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: don't want their children being indoctrinated in those neo Marxist 742 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: theory reason in school. And yet these Democrats in Congress 743 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: want that support that push, that advocate for that and 744 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: Republicans have an opportunity to reach out to these voters saying, hey, look, 745 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: this is what your democrat wants your This democrat wants 746 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: to groom your child in transgender ideology. You don't want that. 747 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: Maybe something to think about for the next election. Well, 748 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: and I agree where I think the American people need 749 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: to know where we stand. And and you look at 750 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: where bold leadership has worked, whether it's Florida or even 751 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: Brian Kempt getting reelected by you know, significant numbers, Greg Abbott, 752 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: you know, com Renolds. The list goes on. When you 753 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: lay a marker down and people know where your stand, uh, 754 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 1: it works, right, And I think Republicans kind of failed 755 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: to do that because we haven't had strong leadership at 756 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,919 Speaker 1: least in Congress on on the you know, the federal level, 757 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily what's going on in the states. But before 758 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: we go, I wanted to get your take on uh, 759 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, I know you stood strong against the vaccine 760 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: mandates and and getting the vaccine as well. What do 761 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: you think was behind that massive push to get shots 762 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: and everyone's arms The push I think was was a 763 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: couple of things. I mean, we know how influential Dr Fauci. 764 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: His name has been almost overused in this conversation. But 765 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: because of the tremendous power that he had, he stood 766 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: to profit both financially, but he also stood to profit 767 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: in in power and this incredible amount of power that 768 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: he has amassed. Um, the Big Farmer companies have completely 769 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: corrupted our public health apparatus, whether that's the FDA, whether 770 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 1: that's the CDC. The CDC and FDA are completely in 771 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: the pocket of Big Farman. Big Farmer had their most 772 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: profitable year ever by orders of magnitude, because they convinced 773 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: governments around the world, but primarily led by the U. 774 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: S Government, to actually mandate these these vaccines. I mean 775 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: back when the Ocean mandate was in effect, before that 776 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: was overturned by the court. Every employee at every company 777 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: was going to be forced to take this otherwise they 778 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: were going to lose their jobs. My own husband lost 779 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 1: his job. He's a medical provider, and he declined to 780 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: get the vaccine and he lost his job and in 781 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: the health care system because because of that mandate. Um, 782 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: it's it's truly truly awful. But when you have this 783 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: toxic combination of of ideology, meaning these these these people. 784 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: This ruling class, the Democrats, are the elitist and big 785 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: farm They believe they know better than we know. They 786 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: believe that we are stupid and they are smart. They 787 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 1: believe that they should be um, they should be treated 788 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: as the experts. They believe in technocracy. They don't believe 789 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: that we should have a choice about our own bodies 790 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: and our own lives and our own medical decisions. They 791 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: believe that if they recommend it, then we should just 792 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: dothily say okay, yes sir, and do what they say. 793 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: They don't believe that we should be equal partners in 794 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: our healthcare. So when you marry that toxic ideology to 795 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: their Marxist political ideology, which again doesn't respect the rights, 796 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: the individual rights of people, and marry that to profit 797 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: motive and power motive, well you get this. You get 798 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: exactly what we experienced during COVID nineteen. You get um 799 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: polo titians that for profit and power are willing to 800 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: to try to force people to take a dangerous, a 801 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: an unsafe and ineffective vaccine that they didn't want to 802 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: take in the first place. And COVID just provided this opportunity. 803 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: This this wasn't new. There have been battles over UM, 804 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates and medical freedom before UM. Any parent with 805 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: a child sending a child to school can tell you 806 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: about that UM. But COVID just accelerated it and brought 807 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: it to light. And the people, the American people, unfortunately, 808 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: were very easily conditioned into accepting this because of the 809 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: lies that they were told about COVID nineteen itself. They 810 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: were told that this was going to just raise our population. 811 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: It was going to cause millions of deaths children and 812 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: your children and your parents and yourself, and this was 813 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: the only thing to do, and people were were paralyzed 814 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: by fear. I found it, honestly, at least that kind 815 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,479 Speaker 1: of eye opening because I didn't realize our population would 816 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: be that easily manipulated. Well and scary because of that 817 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: as well. And in total respect for you, my friend, 818 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: for for standing up against all of this, you know, 819 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 1: I think omicron was probably the best thing that had happened, 820 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: because you at all these people who are pushing lockdowns, 821 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: pushing mandates, pushing all these things. It almost deprogrammed them 822 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: to a certain degree because they thought they could outrun 823 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: getting COVID, and then once everyone got it, they're like, okay, uh, 824 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, we got to move on to another topic, 825 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, like it's sort of a deprogrammed them. But 826 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: leetle Liz anything else. I've loved this conversation with you, 827 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: host of the Liz Wheeler Show. Everyone go check out 828 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: Liz's show. Is there anything you want to leave us 829 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 1: with before we go? Listen? A lot of the stuff 830 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: that we have talked about today, a lot of stuff 831 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: that I talked about on my show too. It's heavy stuff, 832 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: it's deep stuff. It's not like this walk in the 833 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: park butterflies and sunshine and I I I just want 834 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: to share with everyone that's listening that I'm not cynical 835 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: and I'm not um I don't lack hope. I actually 836 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,479 Speaker 1: feel incredibly energized for the future fighting this fight, because 837 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: at least if we have proved any thing in the 838 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: last three years, we have proved that the American people, 839 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 1: for all of what I just said, maybe this contradicts 840 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 1: what I just said, that so much of the population 841 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: was willing to succumb to the fear and the conditioning 842 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: and um and and not push back against masks and 843 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: vaccines and lockdowns, etcetera. There's also an incredible number of 844 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: the American people whose eyes have been opened to the 845 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: true agenda of the radical left. And we have we 846 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: have fought back against us. I mean, we've essentially won 847 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: the critical race theory fight. We're on the verge of 848 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: winning the fight against queer theory. We can do this. 849 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: As long as we acknowledge the reality of the political 850 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 1: enemy that we face, then we will be able to 851 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: fight back well against it. And if we fight back well, 852 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: we will win. I'm confident of that. Yeah, I agree. 853 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: My eyes have certainly been open. I I you know, 854 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: I hope our fellow Americans eyes have as well. Uh. 855 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: Liz wheel are glad to know you, my friend.
