0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, So I've got some good news and bad news

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>for you. The good news is we've got will Caine.

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>We had an awesome discussion about a bunch of different

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>things life COVID Joe Biden governor to Santis. Is brilliant

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.319
<v Speaker 1>move of sending the illegal immigrants to Martha's vineyard and

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>then watching these frauds show themselves to be the frauds

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that they are. So awesome discussion, funny, lively, just really amazing.

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I walked away being like, gosh, that was an awesome interview.

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Awesome interview with Wolcaneo Less. He's a great guys on

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Fox News. You know him. He's a co host of

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Fox and Friends Weekend. Before that he was at ESPN.

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>He had a radio show there as well, called The

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 1>Wilcaine Show, which makes sense because his name is wilkane uh.

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And then before that he was also on stun In

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit of time. God bless him for that, right,

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>But takes a lot of courage and also patience to

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>be on a network like that. So he's an awesome guy.

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>So it was an awesome conversation, amazing, really really like

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the best. And then guess what happened. This

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>is what the bad news kick said. So somehow we

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>had a technical glitch the podcast system that we used

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to record everything. It recorded what he had to say,

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>but not what I had to say. Now the good

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>news is what he had to say. It was so

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>good that we're keeping the interview. I didn't want to

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>scrap it. I didn't want to can it. But I

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>also wanted to be honest with you, guys. I don't

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>want to b su. It's a whole point of this

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>freaking podcast is being honest with you and just saying

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it how it is. So that's what happened. So what

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do is I mean to give you kind

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>of a guided tour. You know, maybe like Disney will

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>approach me for some voiceover work after this or something,

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just kidding. That's not gonna happen. Also, they're

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a terrible company, so I don't really wonder from I mean,

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>not like it's gonna happen. But anyway, stay suff But

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>so point big is basically just going to try to

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>walk you through this interview. It's still good, it's still

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>worth listening to. Wilcaine makes amazing points. The guys awesome.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>So here's the interview with Wilcaine. So, Will Caine, I

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>appreciate I was on your podcast recently, so I feel

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>like we're doing a tag team here. I love it. Yes,

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 1>you were awesome on my podcast last week. I hope

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I can live up to the expectations in the example

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>set this week. Oh you, well, we'll see. I was

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>telling you on your podcast. What I really appreciate. I

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>feel like there's so much cowardice in the media these days,

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and you're not and you always say how you feel,

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're always honest about things, and I feel like

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>there's just so much self censorship that goes on and

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>people are just afraid to say what is true. And

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I think and part of that is because what we

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>see with big tech and all the censorship that goes

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>on there, which is obviously coming from the White House,

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>but we do it to ourself. There are a lot

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of people in the media do it to themselves. I

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>feel like, oh yeah, self censorship is the most insidious

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>form of censorship, you know. Um, I appreciate that compliment

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that I somehow don't do so or I go forth bravely,

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>but I'll tell you I'll tell you maybe where that

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>comes from, but also ask you a question on the

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>back end. You know, most of my career, Lisa, I

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>have been not with an organization like Fox I've been.

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I was at CNN for several years, and then I

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>spent five years at ESPN. So I was constantly surrounded

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>by people who disagreed with me, and I actually think

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>on most of those occasions, my position was actually the

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>one that was more mainstream, that was more popular. It

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>was just quiet, and I saw so many people sensor

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>them spells, particularly at ESPN, because they were worried about

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the backlash on social media or this percepnce they wouldn't

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>be liked. I just never worried about that. I'm like,

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know, this is what I think.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Can I actually think a lot of people agree with me.

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So I wanted to ask Will about the point I

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>made earlier about the fact that there's a lot of

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>cowardice and media. Why is there so much group think?

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Why why are people so afraid to speak their mind today?

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Listen to what he had to say. Yeah, So what

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>we're looking at today is this convergence of like people

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>are calling it whatever, mass formation psychosis, right, which is

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I think a fancy term for like overwhelming group think.

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, you're right. I mean we're looking at a

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>massive amount of overwhelming group think, which is supported by

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, appeals to authority. Who are you to know?

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>How do you know? Are you a doctor? Do you

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>work for the CDC? Whatever? It may be, Right, it's

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>just all designed to shut down any torp sort of independence.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I don't know, it's not it's it's the

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>main thing is it's just asking you not to be

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>a critical thinker, and that's not something I'm willing to do.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 1>So Basically, when I do these, I'm always looking up

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>information about people, trying to figure out is there anything

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>interesting about their background that people might not know. So

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I discovered when looking up information about

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>well one, I didn't know he was an attorney before

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>this interview. And then secondly, he actually worked on a

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>ranch in Montana after law school. Listen, yeah, both of

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>those things are true. I might be more proud of

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>one than the other. You know, the ranch experience on

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>my resume is a better conversational topic at parties than

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>he's going to law school, because everybody goes to law school, right,

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>what is that? Um? You know, law schools like this

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>default path in life for people who don't know what

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>they want to do after college. But I actually, by

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the way, I really loved law school. I loved it.

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I learned more in three years at

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>law school than I learned in four years of college.

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>And the main thing I learned how to do is

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>to organize my thoughts. And um, I don't know. And

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I went to law school University of Texas, and I

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>lived in Austin, and it was a damn good time.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's perfectly my style. It's perfectly my style as well,

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>at least at UT law, where it's like one test

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>per class per semester. You're not gonna be bogged down

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>with busy work. That's good for me, you know. So

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>I could have a really good time on sixth Street

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>or four Street or wherever it was at that night

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>in Austin. But for a month at the end of

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the semester, I had to buckle down the library and

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>figure out exactly what this whole thing was about. Um.

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But the ranch. Yeah, I lived in Montana. After law

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>schoo I moved to Montana. I worked on a ranch.

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>We were primarily a hunting outfitter. We had horses and mules,

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and we book trips for hunters that came in, mostly

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>from out of state, to go hunt elk or sheep,

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>rams um or moose or whatever it may be, mostly

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>elk and deer, and it was an awesome experience in

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>my life. I mean, one of the you know whatever,

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>when I'm when I'm done with this life, it will

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>be something I look back on and think, what a

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>what a year well spent. What's really sad is that

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I was telling him this epics story about how when

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I went to Jackson Hole with a couple of girlfriends,

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.840
<v Speaker 1>we hung out on a ranch U my a friend

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of a friend, knew some guys who owned the ranch.

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>We ate elk, we had a camp fire. And then

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>also I was telling him about this epic game of

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>corn hole that I was playing where it was like hours,

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of hours. I think it was

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>like maybe three hours, or it was like this epic

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>game eventually would And then we got in this whole

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>conversation about if we're both competitive or which obviously I yeam.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I grew up with three brothers, but to listen to

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>what he had to say about that I am competitive,

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>but there's levels to this. I'll tell you, Like I am.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I've always thought of myself and I am I'm a

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>competitive person. And you know, um, I have two brothers,

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I had a I have a best friend who's been

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>my best friend since the age of one. And I

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>mean it's like we were always together and really what

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>that was was always on the verge of a fight

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>because we were so competitive with one another. Um, so

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you kind of wonder where that comes from. My son's

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>play soccer now, and like they're they're both competitive. My

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>younger one, I've always thought it was like super competitive,

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>but then the higher level he gets, I'm like, man,

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know the difference between you and the other boys,

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and like it's not skilled, it's not ability. It's like

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>they will not accept any outcome but a win. They

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>will cheat. They will play through the game like it

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter the coach has to say, Okay, game over.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>They literally will not stop until they win. I'm like,

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to find that, buddy. So I think

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of myself as competitive, but there are levels to this.

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get will take about the sixty minutes

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>interview with Joe Biden. Obviously, it's painful to have to

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>sit through any interview listening to Joe Biden, because he's

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>an idiot, and he's old and senile, and he's also evil.

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>But so I wanted to ask him if he had

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>watched that, and I teed up this clip for him,

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and then I asked him if he had watched and

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>got his reaction on the club who today think about it?

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 1>It's all personal attacks. It's about motive, it's not about

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I disagree on the on the subject matter. And secondly,

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's I think it's fair to say

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that we've not had a president like the last president

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>who has made all but so personal. I've had six

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Republican senators I promised I'd never say their names and

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I won't come up to me in the last two

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.719
<v Speaker 1>years and said, Joe, I agree with you, but if

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I if I vote this way, it's gonna they're gonna primary,

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna lose an election. It didn't used to be that way,

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's coming back a little bit. This was the

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.079
<v Speaker 1>vice presidential candidate that said they're gonna put you all

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>back in chains. Remember that he I don't know if

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>this was when he was vice president of Canada under

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama. Met Romney of all people, was running against him,

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and he was speaking to I don't remember which black organization,

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>but he you know it on his his fake black accent,

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>which is, how how do you get away with that?

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how you get away with that? And

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>then said they're gonna put you all back in chains.

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Like every everything he has done, let me make three points. One.

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Everything he has done has been to vilify his opponents.

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>This is the pandemic of the unvaccinated. Our patients is

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>running out with you. You are actually endangering the lives

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>of your neighbors. Were now dealing with semi fascists. We're

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>dealing with threats to democracy. Every point he has made,

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>every position he has stood firm on, has been to

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>vilify his opponent as a person, not an idea or

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a platform. Two. I hate this idea, Like Scott Pelley

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>is sitting there talking to him about you know, the

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>way it used to be, and and there's this vein

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of acceptability right, And for some reason, democratic policies and

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>democratic politicians get to commander what is popularly accepted to

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>be the middle. No matter what they do. They're kind

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>of in the middle, outside of the ao c s

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.040
<v Speaker 1>of the world right there in the middle. And in

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Republicans who oppose that middle, well, they're radical. It doesn't

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>matter what the sentiments of the country is, it doesn't

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>matter where you pulled people on an issue. He is

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he is the acceptable moderate middle of American politics. How

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>is that? Why? Why does he get to hold that space?

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>And in third, this is tied into that conversation we

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>just had. That space is increasingly commondeered by you know,

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.479
<v Speaker 1>radical thought, like what became mass formation psychosis or acceptable

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>group think became get your kid vaxed regardless of the

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>risk reward ratio or analysis, don't ask questions and just

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 1>accept authority and or now it's whatever, like don't question

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 1>your kid's choice and use and pronouns, or even take

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.079
<v Speaker 1>him to the doctor and begin to start hormone blockers.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>That ground of acceptability is increasingly radical. So I don't

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>even understand why we're sitting here today and Joe Biden

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>gets to comment on what moderation is another part for

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>him Joe Biden's interview, as he said that the pandemic

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>is over, which is probably news to the military heroes

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>who were kicked out because they didn't want to get

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine news to people who are still being punished

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and are still fighting for their jobs employees across America

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>for a vaccine that doesn't stop the spread for a virus,

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and a pandemic that is allegedly over according to Joe Biden.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>So I wanted to ask, will, has any of this

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>ever actually been about a pandemic in the first place? Well,

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean yeah, I mean I think they've answered their

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>question with none. We're approaching a midterm election. It's more

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.439
<v Speaker 1>advantageous to declare victory to declare the pandemic, because over

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago, Joe Biden, against all Science, was wearing

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a mask outdoors two weeks ago while getting off his helicopter.

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>At the same time, as you point out, there are

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>policies in place that people are losing their jobs. Military teachers,

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>they're right now losing the jobs because their choice, and

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 1>not what do we do. I don't even know what

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it means to be vaccinated. I don't I don't know

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>what that means. So, I mean, literally, what does that mean? Um?

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>So they they haven't gotten their updated booster, the latest

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>issue of the booster. I don't know what. They're losing

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>their jobs and he's declaring the pandemic is over. Um,

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that's man, what what a what a you know epidemic?

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>He you launched on people's lives of depression and unemployment

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and purposelessness in order to achieve political ends. And I

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>pointed out that it's infuriating that no one's being punished,

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that there's no retribution, that the people who have suffered

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so greatly at the hands of people like Dr Fauci,

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>When are they going to get what to do go

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to them? When when are they going to get answers?

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And and what are the people who made them suffer

0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>going to punish? To be punished? You know, the lockdown

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't work, The vaccines didn't work. None of the promises

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.599
<v Speaker 1>these people made came to fruition. They were wrong about everything.

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Yet people's lives were destroyed, their businesses were destroyed, people

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>killed themselves. We had suicides, overdoses, de layed care. We

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>still don't know the full effect of all of these

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>policies on people's lives and still suffering right like inflation

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>is still out of control because in part because of

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>broken supply chains and then because of exorbitant government spending.

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>So inflation is still ravaging people's pocket books. People are

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>still losing their jobs. And over the long term, UM,

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we will see what the cost was of forcing people

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>who did not need to to get vaccinated. We don't

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>know the long term effects. We'll find out. We're starting

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to get data, but um, they'll never be an accounting

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to that. You know, if we ever seen it that

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think you and I talked about this

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>last week on the Will Came podcast. But you know,

0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Fauci in the nineteen was nine says, oh, you know,

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>vaccine for AIDS. I don't know, because we don't know

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>what the long term effects are over five years, over

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>ten years, over twenty years. He shows none of those

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>same concerns over a COVID vaccine. So over five years

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and ten years and twenty years, we'll see that ongoing

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>cost as well of these policies. So I love this

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>response from Will. I wanted to get his take on

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Governor to Santa's brilliant move by sending the fifty illegal

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, which really exploited these frauds for

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.359
<v Speaker 1>the frauds that they are, and these so called sanctuary

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>cities not wanting to provide sanctuary. Listen a lesson in compassion.

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>My forty four hours with my Venezuelan loves Toyamo. I

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't get enough of this story. I mean, this

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>story is everything to me. I'm bye bye saying payamo.

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm referencing this particular video and it's I love this

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 1>video so much, leads, I hope you've seen it. But

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it's these ladies. It's all in the video. I think

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>it's almost all ladies with these ladies. Um. I gathered

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>around as the Venezuelan illegal immigrants load up on busses

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to be shipped off of Martha's vineyard, and these ladies

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>are in their fashionable hats and their side ponytails and

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>given double hand waves and and from the back, one

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>of ladies yells tomoh, you know which is Spanish. I

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>love you, um, you know, as we invoke the National

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Guard to ship you off of our island. We love you,

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.239
<v Speaker 1>but you got to go. Let's take a quick commercial

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>break back with bocane on the other side. So, I

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys saw this headline from CNN

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>about this forty our visit that the illegal immigrants were

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have in Martha's vineyard. But this is the headline.

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It says, they enriched US migrants forty four our visit

0:16:54.280 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>leaves indelible mark on Martha's vineyard. Obviously, it's an epic headline, hilarious.

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>CNN is trying to make it seem like, you know,

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:10.200
<v Speaker 1>these people were nice, home made diskin So I don't

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>know if you guys saw this CNN headline, but it

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>says this they enriched US migrants forty four hour visit

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>leaves indelible mark on Martha's vineyard. It starts off saying,

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>after sharing hugs interior goodbyes with roughly fifty migrants who

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>had arrived unexpectedly by playing on this affluent vacation island,

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>the volunteers who sheltered them at an Episcopal church carried

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>out tables and chairs, packed food onto trucks, and folded

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>portable cots. So it continues to go in painting all

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the people in Martha's vineyard with a great light, despite

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they literally said they're a sanctuary city

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and then shipped these people right off to the military

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>base and got rid of them as fast as they could.

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>So I thought this headline was epic and hilarious, so

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.640
<v Speaker 1>obviously how to ask them about it? It's just so

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>amazing they can teach us all a lesson in compassion?

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Can the rich denizens of Martha's Vineyard? Hey, and this

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>this thing is so layered in deep and I think

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Tuckers did an amazing job last week laying this out.

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>But in the end, we want to mock them, and

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we should mock them because they're shallow frauds, their virtues

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 1>signaling frauds. However, they're not wrong to ship the Venezuelan

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigrants off of Martha's Vineyard at the end of

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>their forty four hour stay. Um, they're not wrong to

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>say this is our community and this is the vision

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.199
<v Speaker 1>of our community. The problem is, why do they not

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 1>extend that same right and privilege to America. Why do

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>they not extend that same right and privileged to Brownsville

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and Del Rio and Del Passo. We don't have the services,

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't have the infrastructure Martha's Vineyard. Yeah, well neither

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>does Del Rio. And just because Del Rio is more

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.719
<v Speaker 1>middle class or Del Rio is. Oh my gosh, are

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we revealing some racism here? Del Rio is n Latino itself.

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It's more acceptable for you to ship them back to Texas,

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you know. I guess in in the days of Marie

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and try And it was let them eat cake in

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.120
<v Speaker 1>two in the days of Martha's Vineyards, just let them

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>live in El Passo, I don't. I just let America

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>have the same rights that you do in Martha's vineyard.

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Governor Rhonda Santas is obviously the best I have a

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>florid in, so I'm biased, but he is America's governor,

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 1>so I just asked him what he thought more broadly

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:43.399
<v Speaker 1>about this brilliant move from governor to Santas. Really well played.

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>He didn't just send them to a rich clave. He

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 1>sent them to a rich enclave that's literally surrounded by water,

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 1>so it has its own version of a border wall.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 1>It has an off season where of the homes remain vacant,

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 1>so you don't really have a housing crisis east for

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the winter. These Venezuelans could have wintered on Martha's vineyard. Um,

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>but okay, genius, and I'm a big fan as well

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>of Martha's fingered, I mean Rhonda santis Um and never

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 1>been to Martha's feard um. But we have to solve

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 1>this problem, okay, And so he's done a great job

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of spotlighting the issue of exhibiting the hypocrisies. But we

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>also have to ask our own Republican politicians to do

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 1>everything in their own power to solve this problem. And

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that leads us to a conversation which just happened on

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Fox and Friends this weekend. We had the Lieutenant Governor

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Texas Stan Patrick on. And you know, there's a school

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of thought out there that these states and these governors

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>can declare under constitutional authority on invasion, and if that's

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the case, they can remove illegal immigrants not across state

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>lines to the likes of New York, Chicago, DC, or

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Martha's vineyard, but they can remove them back to their

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>place of origin, back to Mexico. Now, it would it

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.120
<v Speaker 1>would domino a whole host of problems, Lisa, a constitutional crisis,

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe even federal law enforcement and local law enforcement squaring

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 1>off against one another. But if we're serious about solving

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 1>this issue, and we know that the Biden administration, Democrats

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.919
<v Speaker 1>will not, they will not solve it. Thus, you know, handcuffing.

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>What we can do federally, we're gonna have to ask

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>our state politicians to do everything under their power. So

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.720
<v Speaker 1>we've got people coming in from around the world because

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>we have an open border, So why wouldn't they We're

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 1>not even a sovereign nation anymore. We have no idea

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 1>who we're letting in. We brought a bunch of Afghans

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>into that we didn't thoroughly a vent. So how what

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>risks to a terror threat are we as a country?

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 1>And also if you saw the article and brape Art recently,

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 1>apparently Maduro and Venezuela is letting out prisoners and having

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>them come to the United States. Well, we've already seen

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that for sure. We've already seen increased in criminal activity,

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's terrifying. I saw that article as well, where

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Maduro's emptying the prisons and saying head north, um, and

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.199
<v Speaker 1>we've seen Venezuelans can make their way into the country,

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 1>as can everybody, as could you know, terrorists from Iran.

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's a wide open border. It's not

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>hard to cross, and then it's not hard to stay.

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember the latest numbers on how many known terrorists,

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>people on the terror watch list have been encountered. I

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's fifty sixty somewhere in that range in the

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 1>last fiscal year. And so we know this is a

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 1>massive threat to our security um and clearly Madurou intends

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to make it a bigger threat. It's inevitable to your question,

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it is inevitable at some point that we will have

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a terrorist attack because of the the lack of enforcement

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 1>of our southern border. And now, of course there's criminal

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 1>investigations that are being launched into what governor to Santists did.

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 1>You have some clown in Texas, some local sheriff there

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 1>launching a chronal investigation into what governor to Santist did.

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>You've got people like Gavin news Some calling for the

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 1>FEDS to investigate. But I guess it wasn't human trafficking

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>when it wasn't kidnapping when Joe Biden was loading these

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:09.879
<v Speaker 1>people up on planes and dropping them off in the

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.159
<v Speaker 1>middle of the night in Florida. I guess it wasn't

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>kidnapping when Laurie Lightfoot put them on busses and sent

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>them to the next neighborhood over. But it is when

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Governor run de Santis does it well, I mean, you're

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>exactly right. An if they go after de Santis, then

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to go over there after the Republican governor

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts who used the National Guard right to ship them

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>from Martha's Vineyard to Cape cod wouldn't that be human

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>trafficking for kidnapping or as you pointed out Lori lightfoot

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.359
<v Speaker 1>moving a llegal immigrants from one neighbor into another. Or

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic mayor of El Passo who sent something like

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 1>fifty buses to to New York and d C in Chicago.

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>This is what that reveals. Though it's also like they

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even focus on Greg Abbott. Actually they're focused only

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on Rhonda Santis, which just shows again it's all about

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>politics taking him down because he's clearly the outside of

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, the front runner for the Republican nominee for president.

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if if if that weren't the motivation, they

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>would focus more on Greg Abbott, but they're not because

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it's about politics. You know, there's another thing, there's another

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 1>part of this that nobody really wants to talk about.

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Um talk about I guess bring brave to have a conversation.

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>No one's willing to talk about. But um, it's not

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>just a threat to our national security, it's a threat.

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 1>It's an existential threat to the United States of America.

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:33.399
<v Speaker 1>In this way, you have unfettered flow of people from

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 1>across the world who we extend all empathy and understanding

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to their personal plight, bring with them the culture of

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.159
<v Speaker 1>where they come from where they come. And there's a

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 1>new book coming out. I just saw this about this. Um,

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I forget it. I'm forgetting the name of the book

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 1>off the top of my head. It comes out in November.

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>But the premises that generations of of immigration reveal that

0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>people retain their culture of origin as opposed to assimilation

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and adoption of the culture of their new home. Okay,

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.159
<v Speaker 1>so America's a melting pot or whatever. We are by design,

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and the idea behind that is that we take the

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>best of all cultures from immigrants, and then we are

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.919
<v Speaker 1>the sorting mechanism that makes the super strong culture by

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>taking the best of everybody. But that is from the

0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>from its inception, that has been a calculation that we've

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>had immigration quotas, we have a legal process all of

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 1>that because yes, we want to we have a limited

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>set of resources, and we can only accommodate so many

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>at one time. But also because and people, this is

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>what people don't want to accept. There is an American culture.

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>We have a culture, a work ethic um, a Judeo

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Christian culture. We have all kinds of cultural traits embedded

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.760
<v Speaker 1>into what it means to be an American risk tolerance, entrepreneurialism,

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and that has led us to being the dominant culture

0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>on the planet. It's the one that puts man on

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the moon. And and that culture deserves to be not

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 1>just respected, but to be retained. And when you have

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 1>unfettered illegal immigration to megan encounters in this fiscal year,

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's again known encounters, what you do is you

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>fundamentally change the culture of America. And somehow that's that's

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:25.360
<v Speaker 1>come off as that comes off as xenophobic or jingoistic

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 1>or forbid racist, you know, the ultimate cudgel to shut

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>down this conversation. But every culture is allowed to have

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>pride in its own, its own way of life. Everyone

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>is the French, you know, the Irish, um, the Jamaican culture.

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Everyone is allowed to have that conversation except for America, Like,

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't have a culture. And if we do. It's

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 1>somehow supremacist or or wrong. We have a culture and

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:52.879
<v Speaker 1>we have to retain it. It happens to be the

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>most successful culture on the planet. I wanted to play

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>this clip from the interview. I did that. Hopefully you

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>guys listened to with Maximo of theres about communism being

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>in America. So I asked, well, I played the clip

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 1>for will and then I wanted to hear what he

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 1>had to think of. You know, how do you how

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 1>do you see this? Shouldn't we listen to these people

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>like Maximo who escaped communist Cuba, when he's warning us

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 1>that communism is here and it has infiltrated all our institutions.

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Shouldn't we listen? We have a dictatorship and it's right

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>now our eyes and people don't realize what is happening.

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Wake up, America. I'm telling you this because I saw

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 1>it with my eyes. I saw how people are getting

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:40.080
<v Speaker 1>murdered just simply because they didn't smile at the regime.

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw how people get accused of being contract revolutionary.

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just because they said something against the revolution is

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 1>happening here. These guys are telling you that we're the

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>enemy because we are against freedom just because we don't

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:58.679
<v Speaker 1>agree with their policies, their stupid policies. By the way, Yeah,

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we should listen as well. You know, I've

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.639
<v Speaker 1>always had this, I've had this debate internally, Lisa, and

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I've had this conversation with friends, like how much of

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>what's happening in America is coordinated? So you say, I

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 1>think we're being overtaken with communism, And then I say, Okay,

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>how many of the people that are driving this cultural

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and administrative and governmental shift in our country um overtly

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:29.159
<v Speaker 1>by into Marxism have read the Communist Manifesto, are truly

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.199
<v Speaker 1>adherents to communism? And I don't know the answer to

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that question. I think that there's sort of an autopilot

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of American culture and American governance. The in governance that

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>autopilot is the administrative state. I think it scares me

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>more than any particular politician, you know, it even scares

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>me more than any particular political party. It's what remains

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>when elections are won and lost. It's the FBI, the

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>d o J, It's that level of bureaucracy in every organization,

0:28:56.320 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the CDC, the n i H. That really is the

0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 1>culture of American governance. They they drive us in one direction,

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's always in the direction of self empowerment, self justification,

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 1>self empowerment um. And then I think culturally, we have

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>found ourselves popular culture in a place where people are

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:23.840
<v Speaker 1>more entitled, um, you know, more victimized, less responsible, and

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:27.719
<v Speaker 1>that lends itself to sort of this cultural communism. If

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you have one group of people that have self justification

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 1>for power, and you have another group of people who

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.719
<v Speaker 1>want to aggregate their own responsibility, you have a perfect

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 1>cocktail for a society that resembles communism, whether or not

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it's there overtly or not. And so I think you

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>end up in the same place. To answer my internal

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>debate like is it a coordinated campaign? And by the way,

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying it's not a coordinated campaign, because when

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I see government in big tech collude to censor, where

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I see the role of the communist Chinese Party at

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 1>every levels of American society, I think there are definitely

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>elements of coordination, but I'm not sure there's one particular

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>ideology or one particular man behind the curtain. I'm more

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>concerned that our entire machine is on autopilot in this

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 1>direction that resembles communism. Robert Colly with the Trafalgar Group

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 1>has been bringing attention to this new group of voters

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>called submerged voters, of people who aren't putting stickers in

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>their cars, signs of their yards, posting their opinions online,

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>or even answering polls, and that this election is going

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to be a hard one to capture because of all this.

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>So how does Will think the mid term elections are

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 1>going to go down? I think Republicans are still gonna win.

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna win strongly in November, despite the

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>fact that polls show that the whole thing is tightening up.

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>And I guess most people attribute that tightening up to

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the Dobbs decision and to the focus on Donald Trump

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to inflation and rising crime and illegal immigration.

0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 1>But I still think despite all that, Republicans are gonna

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>win and win big in November. Well, people tell the truth.

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Are people afraid? Have they been Has has the conversation

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 1>been painted as you're either, you know, in this mainstream

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>school of thought with lends itself to democratic politics, or

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you're a semi fascist and so have they accepted that's

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the paradigm. They have to be quiet, um, so they're

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>not painted as a semi fascist. Maybe I think people

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 1>have I think people there's still a dominant that there's

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>still a dominant narrative that where we started this conversation.

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>It allows the Scott Pelly's of the world to pretend

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:34.959
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Biden is in that dominant you know, channel

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>of the river. Um, what's Here's what I would ask you,

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>what's extreme about current Republicanism That what's extreme about Trump is? Um,

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>what's extreme about the new Right? I think that's an

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 1>interesting question because I can't think of a single thing,

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, Joe Biden's gonna say they're semi fascist or

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 1>threats to democracy. I would like to know, because then

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 1>if I look at what the Republican Party has done

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.840
<v Speaker 1>under the influence of Donald Trump, I think it's moderated,

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 1>like moderated greatly. It's positioned back towards the center on

0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 1>free trade, less libertarian, you know, far far you know,

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 1>spectrum thought on unfettered free trade. Rising tide lifts all

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>boats now more, a greater concern for populism in the

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>middle class and the jobs of the middle class. Obviously,

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to China, understanding that that's not a

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 1>free trade game. So moving moving. I think on gay marriage,

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:30.880
<v Speaker 1>for example, I don't know where it stands today, but

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 1>over the last ten years certainly moderated. Donald Trump was

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty moderate on that. So I just keep like, immigration, well,

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, that wasn't an extreme position to say,

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>well we ought to have borders and enforce those borders.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 1>That didn't used to be extreme. I'm just trying to

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 1>figure out what's actually extreme that's being described as extreme.

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>If you want to say election denial, if that's what

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the answer ends up being, well, when you're fed, you know,

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 1>five years worth of fake stories, you get to the

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:01.560
<v Speaker 1>into the book and you're like, should I believe the

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 1>last chapter two? You know, I just don't know. I

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know what is extreme. Um, it seems like it's

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:12.320
<v Speaker 1>actually more independent, moderate than it's ever been before. Will

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 1>came to Fox and Friends. He worked at ESPN, and

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 1>he was probably, you know, one of the low conservative

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 1>voices at the network. What was that like? Well, I

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>loved it, actually, Um, I mean was it all great?

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 1>But I know, you know, so I remember when Fox

0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 1>News was founded, there was this quote is by George

0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 1>will who I don't think likes Fox News now. But

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:37.640
<v Speaker 1>George will Um said Roger Ails found a wonderful niche

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:41.280
<v Speaker 1>when he founded Fox News half of America, which is

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful nite right. I was sitting there at ESPN, going,

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 1>so let me get this straight. You guys are all

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:52.040
<v Speaker 1>adopting these radical positions and opinions and in saying them

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 1>as though the country agrees with you on this, and

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you're just gonna let me have all the rest of it,

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Like by myself, I get to say say things and

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:03.720
<v Speaker 1>rational things and have this lane by myself. I was like,

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:08.439
<v Speaker 1>this is amazing. Um. But I mean, look at least

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I like debating people who disagree with me. I like

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 1>hearing their points of view. I like having a relationships

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that are not strictly defined by politics. I don't. I don't.

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't require that all of my personal relationships share

0:34:21.560 --> 0:34:25.280
<v Speaker 1>my political opinions. And sports was a great a great

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 1>vehicle from which people could come together and have a relationship. So,

0:34:29.120 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in other words, you know, whoever it may be, you

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 1>know Marcus Spears he played for the Cowboys for a

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>while and he was a commentary to ESPN I mean,

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it's very clear he disagrees with me on almost everything.

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 1>But at the time I was there, that didn't stop

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 1>us from then transitioning into like guy talk and sports

0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 1>talk and have a great time and have a great relation.

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I think life should be like that. I think politics

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 1>should only be part of who you are. UM and

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I got to have those conversations on a consistent basis. Now,

0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you there are I'm sure you know this,

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the left, the the people that have the opinions of

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 1>those on the left don't agree with what I just said.

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:08.320
<v Speaker 1>They do not think that I can have my opinions

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and remain a good person, right, And therefore you can't

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 1>socialize with Will. You can't be around Will. And there

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:18.880
<v Speaker 1>was some of that at ESPN, like I would walk

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the hallways and I and I don't want to be unfair.

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I made some guesses at the time about who might

0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 1>harbor those thoughts, but I certainly felt it to some degree,

0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:31.359
<v Speaker 1>like there was some sentiment there of like there's that guy,

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. But for the people that I would confin,

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, interact with face to face, I loved it.

0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I love the opportunity on first taken debate Stephen A.

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Smith and whatever else. Um. Yeah, for the most part,

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I loved it quick break back with Wilcane. So I've

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 1>been finding myself having a hard time with big around Democrats,

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 1>a big accepting of Democrats. I've never used to be

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>like this. This really only happened recently, in part because

0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know how anyone can listen to Joe

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Biden label seventy million people patriotic Americans as enemies of

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the state. I mean, if you're a Democrat and you

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 1>have family members or friends who are Trump supporters, how

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>how can you still support this guy? How can you

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 1>sit by and sit back and think that what's going

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>on in the country is okay. So I wanted to

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:31.400
<v Speaker 1>get Will's take about you know, what do you what

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:33.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think of that? Are you know, are you

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 1>having trouble with this or how do you reconcile it?

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Or how do you you know, how do you kind

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.279
<v Speaker 1>of take a break from all this? You know, I

0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>lived in New York for fifteen years. I'm back in Texas,

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 1>where I was born and raised, and I love so

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 1>many of my New York friends. I think almost not

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 1>all of them, but the vast majority of them disagreed

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 1>with me. Um. One of the things that you have

0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 1>to like it's it's tough because I do think there

0:36:56.880 --> 0:37:00.200
<v Speaker 1>is a sentiment within liberalism of personal judgment. And so

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you sit there and you go, well, how you're always

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 1>assuming the worst of me? How can we be friends?

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? Like I kind of feel like,

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 1>are you questioning whatever your current thing is? Phobic of something?

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, racist, homophobic, transphobic or whatever. It's like there's

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 1>this undercurrent sometimes of like you know, you're not saying

0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it out loud, but I feel like you're privately judging.

0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's not that sucks, Like always be around to

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like you know someone's not trusting who you are.

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 1>They just happen to disagree with you. I'm not saying

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 1>my friends all did that, but I do think that's

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a common thing and in that type of even to

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>live in that type of place. And then you add

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 1>on top of it this whole thing about your own

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:46.400
<v Speaker 1>personal health choices, right, and it becomes pretty untenable. But

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I do want to try my best. I want to

0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:50.880
<v Speaker 1>always have friends. I just I don't want that to

0:37:50.960 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 1>be my primary sorting mechanism for my friendships. I just

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want that to be if if I don't know,

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:01.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't want politics. It's very important to me, like

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 1>especially culturally, like who are we? Who are Americans? What's

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 1>it mean to be a man? I'm raising two sons.

0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:12.759
<v Speaker 1>All of these things very important to me. I don't

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 1>want that to become personally for me. Well you have

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to vote this way or if you vote that way,

0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 1>then I can't explore those other aspects of you in

0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:25.880
<v Speaker 1>what it means to be friends and share values. So

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 1>it's telling well this story about how when I was

0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in New York, I went to this restaurant outside and

0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't wearing a mask because I'm not a crazy

0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:39.839
<v Speaker 1>person and masks don't work, and they certainly don't work outside,

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:44.440
<v Speaker 1>nor is COVID really spread outside. So I walked up

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to this restaurant not wearing a mask. The hostess said

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to wear your mask, and I was like, well,

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 1>these people eating outside aren't wearing masks. And she was like,

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 1>well there was either eating, to which I responded, you know,

0:38:56.719 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 1>just so we're clear, you know that COVID like doesn't

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>differentiate between oh you're eating you're a cool but you're

0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:07.719
<v Speaker 1>standing I'm gonna get you. And I finally like, war

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I just because she was asking me, like please, it's

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:11.399
<v Speaker 1>my job, so I didn't want to, you know, get

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 1>her in trouble or whatever. So I finally put off.

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:15.719
<v Speaker 1>But I was like, but just so we're clear, we

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:19.800
<v Speaker 1>know that this is all b s. And I was

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 1>also telling a story about another dude in my building

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>who always yells at everyone who doesn't wear a mask,

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:27.400
<v Speaker 1>which is most people that live here because we live

0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 1>in Florida, and again, we're not crazy, we're free. And

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 1>this guy is always yelling at everyone. So I just

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:34.719
<v Speaker 1>turned him one day and I said, you know what,

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:38.719
<v Speaker 1>do you believe in the efficacy of masks? And he goes, oh,

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of course I do. That's why I wear one, to

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 1>which I responded, then you should be fine. Leave us alone,

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:51.200
<v Speaker 1>little victory. Um. You know, I will say, we're see,

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we're It'll be interesting now that Joe Biden said the

0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 1>pandemic is over, but we're clearly like this is the

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>end of the zombie movie and there's not many zombies

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.359
<v Speaker 1>left on the street, like they're people are waking up,

0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 1>or at least they're going back to some extent to

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:06.239
<v Speaker 1>their normal life. But because I travel so much at

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the airports or on the airplane or on the streets

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.480
<v Speaker 1>of New York, there are still people right walking around

0:40:11.840 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 1>outside with with masks on. And one, the one that

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.279
<v Speaker 1>always blows my mind is with like cloth masks on.

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what happened to you? Like that? You didn't

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:21.319
<v Speaker 1>like every step of the way, you didn't get the

0:40:21.360 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 1>memos right, so you're liking, You're like, in April, what

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 1>are you doing with that cloth mask on? But what

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm really shocked by is sometimes it kind of feels

0:40:32.000 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 1>often they're young, they're healthy, Like I've seen some, for example,

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.720
<v Speaker 1>some dudes that clearly work out and you're in good shape,

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and you're in your thirties maybe early thirties, and I'm like,

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.120
<v Speaker 1>why are you wearing that mask? Like what now? And

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.560
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I think to myself, maybe to have a really

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 1>serious health condition I'm not aware of. But more likely

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 1>than not, where they are unhealthy at this point is

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:57.799
<v Speaker 1>in their minds. And so you're looking at the back

0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to what we're some about earlier, like the cost of

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>all of this nonsense. You're look at a lot of

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:05.319
<v Speaker 1>people who have really poisoned and lost their minds. So

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 1>my mom always tells me that you don't always have

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to say everything you think, yet I still do it.

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>But I was telling Will about that, and then I

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:21.120
<v Speaker 1>just also asked him, you know, he's a father, what's

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:23.879
<v Speaker 1>your favorite thing about being a dad? Okay, I'm gonna

0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:27.440
<v Speaker 1>answer that question, but I think that uh So, I'm

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:31.399
<v Speaker 1>a big believer that your greatest strength is your greatest weakness, right,

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:33.280
<v Speaker 1>So you just said that for yourself and your career,

0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Like you you don't have to say every thought that

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to your mind, right, So it's it's your strength,

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>it's also your weakness, right, So, like, I think every

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.640
<v Speaker 1>part of our personalities can be explained that way. So

0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 1>probably the same with fatherhood for me. I don't know.

0:41:48.080 --> 0:41:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I just I love the process of helping these two

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 1>young boys become men, Like I just love it, like

0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's a little selfish because it's like, well, you're

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 1>your favorite part of father That is like joy sticking

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 1>them by teaching them lessons, giving them sermons, which I

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 1>do way too much, Lisa, way too much, and I

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.120
<v Speaker 1>focus way too much on sports, not because I think

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:11.759
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be professional athletes or Division one athletes or

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:15.680
<v Speaker 1>collegiate athletes, but because it's the perfect metaphor and vehicle

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:18.799
<v Speaker 1>to help them travel the path of what it is

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:21.719
<v Speaker 1>to be a man. And I just love it. This

0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 1>this one of my sons, and he had a great weekend.

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think it's cool. I'm a little hesitant

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to share family stuff. I don't know, I don't I

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:31.799
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know what the right amount is.

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.280
<v Speaker 1>But one of my sons had had a great weekend.

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:36.640
<v Speaker 1>He asked a girl to homecoming and he went to

0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 1>her house. He went to her house and you know,

0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:40.799
<v Speaker 1>and he had to It's almost that now they do

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.520
<v Speaker 1>at least like a marriage proposal. It's insane, at least

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in Texas. You know, it's insane. Um. And he had

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a great sports weekend where just kind of like he

0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 1>woke up in so many ways and he saw the

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 1>field and he played amazing. And um, I don't care

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:57.839
<v Speaker 1>if he's the best player on the field. I don't

0:42:57.880 --> 0:43:00.399
<v Speaker 1>care in the end if you start, so I don't

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 1>care what team he's on. But to see him like

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>become what I know he can become is just my

0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.480
<v Speaker 1>favorite part of fatherhood and I love being with them

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:13.080
<v Speaker 1>on that process, like going to I'm gonna go to

0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:15.440
<v Speaker 1>practice tonight. That's what I'm gonna do. Because I'm in

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 1>New York every weekend. I don't get to see games,

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:18.920
<v Speaker 1>but I'll go to practice and we'll talk about it

0:43:18.960 --> 0:43:21.359
<v Speaker 1>on the way home and then, you know, I don't know,

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:23.839
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's my favorite thing. I don't know, it's

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in and it's better than anything, to be honest, just

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 1>better than professional sports. Not just the best thing about

0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:31.759
<v Speaker 1>father for me, it's the best thing about life right now,

0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 1>which you know, I should probably put some other priorities

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 1>above that. It's so fulfilling and it's just so important.

0:43:37.640 --> 0:43:40.000
<v Speaker 1>It's fulfilling on an individual level and so important on

0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>a societal level. I don't know, I mean I need

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to work on I mean, I'll be open with you.

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:49.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I could be more attemptive than and um devoted,

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:53.799
<v Speaker 1>not devote, I'm devoted, but doting, um husband. I could

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>definitely be better at that. You know, I could definitely

0:43:56.600 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 1>work on my relationship with God, which is a path

0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:02.239
<v Speaker 1>that I mean, I've openly talked about this, like you know,

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I would never pretend to be a person who has

0:44:05.560 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the ability to sermonize to other people because I'm I'm

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 1>working on it myself, right, but there are things that

0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I should give more focus to. But the parenting thing,

0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:18.239
<v Speaker 1>like and not again, not that I'm doing it. I'm

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:21.279
<v Speaker 1>not batting a thousand on this thing well below, but

0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I certainly love every opportunity at the at the plate

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of parenting. And of course, to Will's point, you know,

0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:30.280
<v Speaker 1>we can all work on things that we could do better.

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I was joking around with him that, you know, I

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 1>could do like an hour long confessional podcast about the

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 1>things I need to work on in my life and

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:41.480
<v Speaker 1>how to be a better person and all of that.

0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:45.319
<v Speaker 1>But uh, and then we said goodbye, as one does

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 1>when they end of podcasts. Thank you, Lisa. That's that's

0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm so blumed that you guys didn't get it here.

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:05.719
<v Speaker 1>The live discussion and the back and forth between us,

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:07.879
<v Speaker 1>it was so much fun. He's such a great guy.

0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, life happens, things happen, and technology it

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:15.160
<v Speaker 1>can suck sometimes, so it is what it is. But

0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to thank you guys for listening, and we'll

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:19.680
<v Speaker 1>have it back on in a couple of months from now,

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully no technical glitches then, so you can kind

0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:26.880
<v Speaker 1>of get the full interview. But until then Monday on Thursday,

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.239

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:31.960
