1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast, Clay and Buck Show Hour to going 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: Strong as always, Thanks for hanging out with us. We're 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: doing very much. Appreciate it. We have a whole bunch 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: of things to get you. And I just realized we've 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: got great guests joining us during the show in just 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: a little bit. Our friend Carol Markowitz, who is the 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: fierce mom defender of children from masking and vaxing, and 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: she is one of my one of my favorites from 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: here in New York City during the pandemic, who was saying, 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: this is crazy, stop the madness. Talk to her about 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: about that. Also the crime issue. I really think more 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: people need to be seeing this story. We won't get 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: into it too much in detail now, but Clay, I 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: know you and I've talked about an offline. This lovely 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: young woman sitting in her car, car riddled with bullets 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: and baton rouge at Louisiana Senior at LSU just just 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: murdered and the car was shot many, many, many times. 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: The police are completely at a loss for what could 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: what could have been going on here. Locals are reportedly 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: saying they think it was a gang initiation, which certainly 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: seems plausible. And law enforcement. Look, law enforcement in Louisiana 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: in general right now is understaffed, undermanned, underresourced, and undersupported 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: politically with I mean, New Orleans is the highest we 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: just talked to, this highest murder rate in the nation, 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: which is it's just terrible. Me It's it's terrible when 27 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: any places has fallen into that category. But I I mean, 28 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: I know you feel the same way, Clay, New Orleans 29 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: is an amazing place. It's a beautiful, historically, super rich, 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: culturally amazing city. I mean, even as a New Yorker, 31 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: I just think New Orleans is such a cool place. 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: And the fact that has had the crime situation. Anyway, 33 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: we'll talk Carol about about some of that here at 34 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: a moment, and then in the final hour of the program, 35 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: Clay Brian Morgan Stern will be with us. He is 36 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: the former White House Deputy Press Secretary, so he was 37 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: the deputy under our friend Kaylee mckinety at the White 38 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: House under Trump. Brian's a very sharp guy and he's 39 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: got some stuff to tell everybody about what Fauci was 40 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: saying in the White House behind closed doors. This will 41 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: not come as a shock to this audience. But Fauci's 42 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: a huge fraud. He even mocked the stupidity of some 43 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: of the policies that he would then go out and 44 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: tell people make sense and everything. He is an egomaniac. 45 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: He is the world's most evil, narcissistic smurf. I mean, 46 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: all of that is true. Brian will give us a 47 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: little bit of a peek behind White House closed doors 48 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: on that one. But you and I both with the 49 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: history fights. They think they can control the past and 50 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: therefore control the president, rather control the narrative of the 51 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: past and use it to dictate the politics of this moment. 52 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: Huge example, this is obviously the sixteen nineteen project to 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: come up with what is essentially a new founding and 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: framework of this country rooted in, you know, the evils 55 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: and depression of America, and the only way to deal 56 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: with this today is to put the people in charge 57 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: now who believe in the narrative of America as a 58 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: fundamentally wrought an evil, awful place. You see also the polling, 59 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: by the way about Democrats that I'm trying to remember 60 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: what the exact less than half of Democrats are proud 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: to be America, I mean. And the other scary part 62 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: was in the wake of Ukraine. If you remember Buck, 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: what percentage of Democrats would actually stay and defend the 64 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: country if it was invaded. Over half of Democrats would leave. 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: This is a stunning poll result. Again, if America were invaded, 66 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: would you stay in fight or flee? Over half of 67 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Democrats would flee. And the reason for this era of 68 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: Democrats is because they believe America is a rotten, awful place. Now, 69 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: most of these people have never actually gone anywhere else, right, 70 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: This is one of the advantages if we had some 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: sort of peace Corps requirement or even service requirement in 72 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: this country for eighteen and nineteen year olds, if you 73 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: had to go to some third world countries and see 74 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: what it's actually like there, then you might come back 75 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: to America and say, hey, you know, it ain't perfect, 76 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: but we're getting an awful lot. Right. Unfortunately, most of 77 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: these people have no clue what the rest of the 78 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: world is like at all, and so they sit around 79 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: on their phones denigrating America with no understanding or comprehension 80 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: of larger world affairs. My advice always to younger young 81 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: people as somebody who got sent for work to a 82 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: number of places that were conflict zones I mean two 83 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: war zones and other places where their active insurgencies and 84 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: major counter terrorism operation underway because of al Qaeda and 85 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: these different jehattest entities. And I spent my twenties basically 86 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: in that world dealing with that. You go to other 87 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: places and you come back to America and you want 88 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: to kiss the ground that this country was built on. 89 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: You you love, which is why so many people that 90 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: also come back and have done military service also have 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: just a feeling for this country is incredible. I mean 92 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: it really and they went to fight because they know 93 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: it's incredible, and they come back and I think I 94 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: have a recognition. I mean, talk to any VET who 95 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in a rock or Afghanistan. 96 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: You come back to America, You're just like, this place 97 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: is phenomenal. And we bring all this up because you know, 98 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: and also we can hold in our heads two thoughts 99 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: at the same time. America is the greatest country that 100 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: has ever existed. It's also got some problems that we 101 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: should address, and the Libs want to destroy it. I mean, 102 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: these are two things or two areas where you can 103 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: think about at the same time. But but fighting over 104 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: history is not It's not just an intellectual exercise. It's 105 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: important and making sure that we have a history that 106 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: is in the proper context and people understand who did 107 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: what and when and how we got to this place 108 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: we're currently in. Someone who has not read I can 109 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: assure you anything substantial about the history of America. Is 110 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: mister Don Lemon the New Morning big promotion. You hear 111 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: this big promotion promotion to the Morning Show over at CNN. 112 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: He was talking to the royal commentator Hillary Fordwitch. Is 113 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: she on your speed down? By the way? Clay and 114 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: you and Hillary chat about the rollary and I text 115 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: all the time. But at the latest drama Buck, I 116 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: was clicking to see what the lip readers were saying 117 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: about all the different royal interactions during the ceremony for 118 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth. I got something. I got to admit. I mean, 119 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: I told her I was going to because I looked 120 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: at her less than I said. You know, at two, 121 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: Carrie she all in, She's like, She's like, look, I 122 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: gotta agree with Cray, with Clay, the royal intrigue is fascinating. 123 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: I was like, no, Tay, A million people watch the 124 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 1: funeral yesterday, which is basically unheard of, Like more people, 125 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: I think watch the funeral than watch the Oscars to 126 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: kind of put it in context. And the people talk 127 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: about the Oscars a lot. And this was the tenth 128 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: day that I'll even be honest with you, this thing 129 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: didn't seem like it was ever going to end. And 130 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: so yeah, Carrie's like most you know, yeah, she's on 131 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: team play on this one. She's like, I think it's fascinating, 132 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the intrigue, the drama of the pageantry and anyway, right, 133 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: bring it, bring it right into my house. I can't 134 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: believe it. But anyway, the Royal commentator Hilary fordwich Um, 135 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: when Don Lemon said that the Brits effectively should pay reparations, 136 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: here is her I think on it. Part of well, 137 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: we have two pieces of the thing. Let's start playing 138 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Start with the goat. All of this 139 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: wealth and you hear about it comes to England. It's 140 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: facing rising costs of living, a living crisis and a sterity, 141 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: budget cuts and so on. And then you have those 142 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: who are asking for reparations for colonialism and they're wondering, 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred billion dollars, twenty four billion dollars 144 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: here and there, five hundred million there. Some people want 145 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: to be paid back, and members of the public are wondering, 146 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: why are we suffering when you are you know, you 147 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: have all of this vast Well, those are legitimate concerns, now, 148 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: I know you. You and I are both like prize 149 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: fighters who want to get in the ring on this 150 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: right away because there's so much there, like who gets 151 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: the money, what's enough money, who pays for it? What 152 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: if you know, you know, like you have two ethnicities, 153 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: you know you have one parent from the UK? Are 154 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: going to have a blood what analysis? Also, how about 155 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: the fact that lots of people are immigrants who arrived 156 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: who might be black post slavery, Right, so you are 157 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: let's say you're a Nigerian immigrant who's only been here 158 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: for twenty years, why would you get reparations for American 159 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: related interest? And the large picture here which no one 160 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: ever discusses. And I hope we can start to inject 161 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: this into the discourse at least as every time this 162 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: comes up. America only had slavery the United States of 163 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: America for eighty years Okay, we from seventeen eighty three 164 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: to eighteen sixty three, only eighty years. But this is 165 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: the British response. Ye Sots have their own history with 166 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: this and what she said in response to Don Lemon, 167 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: the Royal commentator dropping some truth bombs here. I think 168 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: you're right about reparations in terms of if people want it, 169 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: though what they need to do is you always need 170 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: to go back to the beginning of a supply chain. 171 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Where was the beginning of the supply chain that was 172 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: in Africa and when that crossed the entire wall when 173 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: the slavery was taking place. Which was the first nation 174 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: in the world that abolished slavery, first nation in the 175 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: world to bollish it. It It was started by William Wilberforce. 176 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Was the British in Great Britain they abolished slavery. The 177 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: African kings were rounding up their own people. They had 178 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: them on cages waiting in the beaches. No one was 179 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: running into Africa to get them. And I think you're 180 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: totally right. Operations need to be paid. We need to 181 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: go right back to the beginning of that supply chain 182 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: and say who was wounding up their own people on 183 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: having them handcuffed in pages. That's where they should stop. 184 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's a fascinating and important point she 185 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: makes here about how that you know, there's also it's 186 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: often not talked about, but there were there were minorities 187 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: that what we think of as minority today who owned slaves. 188 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if you know, there were actually the slave trade, 189 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: the transatlantic slave trade, and also the the role that 190 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: Latin America played in it is something that that gets 191 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: very little little time and coverage in the media, for sure. 192 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: But Clay, I mean, just okay, so we're gonna start 193 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: doing this like we have a Lleger Like, Okay, the Brits, 194 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: so they made responsible for x percentage, the x percentage, 195 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: Well where does this come in though with? Because she 196 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: also wanted to talk about the thousands of Brits who 197 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: died on the high seas to end slavery. So so 198 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: I want to know, I mean, it's it's something I've 199 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: asked before. So if I had ancestors who died fighting 200 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: in the Civil War in the Civil War, do I 201 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: get like credit for that or how do we actually 202 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: do this? How do we deal with the fact that 203 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: what I mean, you would know you're this, you're the 204 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: Civil War buff total casualties in the Civil War were 205 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: I mean deaths in the hundreds of thousands. Six hundred thousand, 206 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: I believe is the number of Union soldiers who died. 207 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: I think I'm correcting this off top of my head 208 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: during the Civil War. One of them was one of 209 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: my ancestors. I had, you know, northern and southern ancestors 210 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: who fought on both sides of that war. So yeah, So, 211 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: so how do we gauge what is the price in 212 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: blood that was paid to end slavery in the American 213 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Civil War? And then how does that affect reparations? And 214 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, you know, because she brings up, for example, 215 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: with the Brits, thousands of men never made it home 216 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: to their families to fight to end slavery on the 217 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: high seas. That was the only that was their role 218 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: in the British Navy, and they died in that pursuit. 219 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: So are they are they exempted from these reparations? And 220 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: also who do the reparations go to? Exactly yeah, no, 221 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: And the reparation's argument is ridiculous. Six hundred and twenty 222 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: thousand total dead across Union and Confederate soldiers, So around 223 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty thousand Union deaths reported, two hundred 224 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: and fifty eight thousand Confederate deaths reported, so three hundred 225 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: and sixty thousand Northern soldiers died. Many people listening to 226 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: us right now would have an ancestor who died in 227 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: the Civil War. I did certainly fighting on the side 228 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: of the North. Should there not be you know, well, 229 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: but ancestors died. Ancestors died, and huge numbers on both 230 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: sides of that conflict. And so you say that was 231 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: our nation paid a massive price in blood, by far 232 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: the most casualties we have ever suffered in any conflict. Okay, 233 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: So how does that get factored? And this is why 234 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: eventually this is just it's very clear. This is about power. 235 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: This is about who gets to determine who gets what 236 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: now today, and it's certainly not about justice because what 237 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: does that even look like? It's true? And I just 238 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: love Don Lemon getting dunked on there because at the 239 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: end he was like, oh, that's interesting, Like he didn't't 240 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: even have a response to her historical knowledge. And what 241 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate her bringing up is no one ever mentions 242 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: the fact that the people in Africa were initially enslaved 243 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 1: by other African kings and then were sold to the 244 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: people who engaged in the slave trade. But the slavery 245 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: started in Africa, and no one ever wants to talk 246 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: about that responsibility at all in the overall global slave marketplace. 247 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: And do we get I'm just wanting, do we get 248 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: any extra credit for those of us who had ancestors 249 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: who fought to prevent the world from being enslaved by 250 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: the Nazis? You know, it seems like kind of a 251 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: big deal. I think that's kind of a big deal too, 252 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, So do we get do we get credit 253 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: for that? Or is it just no, it's all oh okay, yeah, 254 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: I think everyone seeing here you can you get like 255 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: a little different checkboxes along the way to find out 256 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: how much responsibility you actually have. I mean, and this 257 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: is the other part of it too. I mean I 258 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: wonder for people who have who have, you know, a 259 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: mixed ethnic heritage, So do they get the check but 260 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: then they have to send the check back? Or how 261 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: does how does that work? If you're doing reparations from 262 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: the British Empire from five hundred years ago? You know 263 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: what I mean, it doesn't make it's totally absurdly illogical. 264 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: And also it doesn't even consider that the entire rationale 265 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: for affirmative action, which has now existed for seventy some 266 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: odd years in this country, almost was predicated on what 267 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: redress four past grievance, which is a form of reparations 268 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: that has been ongoing for generations now in this country, 269 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: and by the way, needs to end.

We are 297 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: joined now by Brian Morgan Stern. We were just talking 298 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: about the hipocrisy out there from our good friend doctor Fauci, 299 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: and Brian has got a great book out. He was 300 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: a former White House Deputy Press Secretary. He's the owner 301 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: of Win the Future Strategies and his book is out. 302 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: Vignettes and Vino Dinner Table Stories from the Trump White 303 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: house with the recipes and cocktail pairings behind the scenes. Brian, 304 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: I read this and I was like, it doesn't surprise 305 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: me at all. Doctor Fauci actually mocked the stupidity of 306 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: restaurant restrictions where you had to wear a mask until 307 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: you sat down at your table. Yes, Clay and Buck, 308 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: it's great to be with you, and yes, of course 309 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: he did. My blood was boiling because everyone was suffering 310 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: from pandemic restrictions, and of course people would walk into 311 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: a restaurant wearing a mask and then sit down at 312 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: the table and have a conversation and a whole meal 313 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: with no mask on. Anyone was common sense knows that 314 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: that was ridiculous, including Fauchi, because I was in a 315 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: meeting with him when he commented on that and laughed 316 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: about how ridiculous it was. But of course he wouldn't 317 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: then go out and tell the people that some of 318 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: the restrictions were ridiculous. He would just kind of laugh 319 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: behind their backs, including at his own comment about wearing 320 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: goggles and multiple masks, which he made on television after 321 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: of course, he was against masks before he was for them, 322 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: and then when he was for them, he was for 323 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: multiple masks and goggles, and behind the scenes he was 324 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: laughing about how ridiculous his own comments were and how 325 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: he could really just get everybody to believe anything this 326 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: guy said, but he was wrong about everything over the 327 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: course of the pandemic. The media painted this guy to 328 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: be America's doctor, But speaking for myself, I don't want 329 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: him to be my personal doctor, let alone the country's doctor, 330 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: because he was wrong about every major thing throughout the pandemic. So, Brian, 331 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: it's bucket. You were obviously deput Press Secretary Trump White House. 332 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: You're there in the early stages the pandemic. All the 333 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: stuff is going on. For me, the original sin of 334 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: Fauciism was the flip flop on masks. Right, he initially 335 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: is going, look, masks doesn't really do anything and might 336 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: make people feel better, and then all of a sudden, 337 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: it's just they're all these mask policies going in all 338 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: across the country, the federal mask mandate on planes. Was 339 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: there an awareness in the White House of that Foucci switch? Like, 340 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: how did that actually come to be? And I also 341 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: want to ask you, we were I was told, I 342 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: was told who wasn't a senior White House official cameramer 343 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: who was now who actually claimed that doctor Burkes was 344 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: as bad as Fauci on the duplicity and all this stuff. 345 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: So I wanted to tackle both of those. So there 346 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: was a sense that Fauchi and Burkes both actually were 347 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: really airing on the side of caution. That is the 348 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: understatement of the century in terms of advocating for restrictive policies. 349 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: And Scott Atlas, remember President Trump brought him onto the 350 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: task force. He was the kind of voice who would say, 351 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: the cure can't be worse than the disease. There was 352 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: an atmosphere in the country that COVID was this unknown 353 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: silent killer, and so we should be safe rather than sorry, 354 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: and so the kind of voices of caution went out 355 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: at that time. We knew that Fauci and Births liked 356 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: to get a lot of attention, and in order to 357 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: get a lot of attention, they had to scare people, 358 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: and so they did that a lot. The sort of 359 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: fine line we had to walk was let people know 360 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: that President Trump was taking the pandemic seriously, but again 361 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: that the cure can't be worse than the disease. I 362 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: don't know if that kind of answered both of your 363 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: questions in one statement, but I'm happy to take another 364 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: swing at it. Yeah, Brian, Obviously we know Fauci is 365 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: a fraud, and we've been frustrated with him on this 366 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: program for the entire length of the time that we've 367 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: been on the air together, and before that, and we 368 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: had solo shows. We were super frustrated with him. What 369 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: was his overall What was the overall vibe of Fauci 370 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: behind the scenes in the White House, in other words, 371 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: how much you've told us that he would say things 372 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: privately which were very different than what he would say publicly. 373 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: How much of a difference was there in Fauci in 374 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: public in private in general. So he was the joke 375 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: that we used to tell what was We would referred 376 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: to him as Saint Anthony because of how he was 377 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: portrayed in the media. But what we had learned in 378 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: dealing with him was that he was really an egomaniac 379 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: who was wrong a lot, and that's very dangerous about 380 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: science in medicine. Of course, he was wrong about the 381 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: severity of the virus early on, he said it was 382 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: not something people should worry about. He was before four 383 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: Masks or against masks, before he was for them, he 384 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: said vaccines could not possibly be created in less than 385 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: eighteen months. Now we created them in nine months. He 386 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: can argue about the efficacy, but the process was nine months. 387 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: He was wrong by exactly one hundred percent. He said 388 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: he was wrong about when President Trump should be vaccinated 389 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: because he had already had COVID. I mean, I can 390 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: go on and on, but he was not an easy 391 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: person to deal with. Of course, he's the only person 392 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: I ever encountered to use the term latinics un ironically 393 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: when he would always talk about the vaccine studies that 394 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: we got to get more Latinics in the study, you 395 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: got to have more Latini. That's actually a promfect example 396 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: of how left wing he is too. By the way, 397 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: it's also pretty good Faucci that Brian pull there. I'm feeling, 398 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: you know, Brian's give the pressure putting a competition, so Brian, 399 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: so Faucci was obviously, I mean, I joke around with people, 400 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: but I'm not really that joking that. I don't think 401 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: anyone thinks Fauci's worse than I do. Did Trump figure 402 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: this out? Like? I mean, this is because right now, 403 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: you know, we support the big guy and he there 404 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: are a lot of things that he did that were fantastic, 405 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: but he says, I did the opposite of everything Fauci 406 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: told me to do. Unfortunately that's not true. At what 407 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: point did Faucci did Trump rather realize this guy's meaning 408 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: Faucci is a problem. So there were comments that President 409 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: Trump made that I think it leaked out. I think 410 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: he was making them on a teletown hall to some 411 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: donors at the time, if my memory served, and he 412 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: basically articulated the position that most of us had at 413 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: that time from a purely sort of campaign public relations standpoint, 414 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: and again walking that fine line of taking the virus 415 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: seriously but also trying to do the right thing for 416 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: the people and not having the sure worse than the disease. 417 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: The President said, I'm basically stuck between a rock and 418 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: a hard place, and paraphrasing, he said, if I fire 419 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: the guy, I pull him off TV, I take him away, 420 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, there's this huge bomb that 421 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: comes out about how I'm not trusting the science and 422 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: all of this, Whereas if I just kind of let 423 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: him run his mouth, but then I also say my opinion, 424 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, at least it's kind of equal. Basically, he said, 425 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna have bombs thrown at us either way. So 426 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: sometimes in life you only have bad choices, and I 427 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: would say that the way Fauci was propped up by 428 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the media left President Trump with only 429 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: bad choices. It's either let him run his mouth and 430 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: also counter him, or fire him and have one giant 431 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: explosion all at once. Brian, do you think Trump's gonna 432 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: run again? And how much do you think, obviously the 433 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: sort of legal troubles surrounding him impact whether he's going 434 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: to run again or not. So I would say, given 435 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: what I've observed since the White House, he has involved 436 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: at every level, he's got the most powerful endorsement, he's 437 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: still doing rallies, it seems to me more likely than 438 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: not Trump runs. He also wants to counter those who 439 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: are out to get him by saying, you know, this 440 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: is for political purposes. I think they're actually sort of 441 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: baiting him into running. I think it's more likely than not. 442 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: The other side of the coin, which I think is 443 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: again less than fifty percent, would be He says, you 444 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: know what, I'm having so much fun doing live golf. 445 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: I'm having so much fun in the private sector, just 446 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: kind of being a kingmaker living in paradise at Marlago. 447 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: Why would I get back into politics. It's such a 448 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: nasty business. So I think he's weighing those things, but 449 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: I would say more than fifty percent. I think he runs. Brian. 450 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: Your book Vignettes and Veno Dinner Table Stories from the 451 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: Trump White House with recipes and cocktail parags.

Tell me a cocktail table book, I mean, 453 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: and tell me a bit about to either give me 454 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: a story, a recipe or a cocktail pairing that forty 455 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: five himself would approve of.

Oh my gosh, you went to 458 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: well done steak, Briant to dump this audio, go ahead. 459 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: My steak recipe is not that, okay. It is a 460 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: steak sandwich recipe that my wife came up with that 461 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: is thinly sliced, well seasoned. It's got a delicious garlic 462 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: aoli on it served on I think we have it 463 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: on shibbada with a rugla on there. It's absolutely delicious. 464 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: It's an honor of a story of when I was 465 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: with President Trump in Bedminster and of course they make 466 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: his favorite steak in Bedminster. I would say story, my 467 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: h my first week at the White House was something 468 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: I dealt with with Fauci. He got himself invited to 469 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: throw out the first pitch for Major League Baseball when 470 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: we were going to have President Trump throw at the 471 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: first pitch, but before they could announce it, Fauci, whose 472 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: friends with the Washington Nationals owners, got himself invited. So 473 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: we had to come up with an alternate event, which 474 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: actually worked out great because we had Marianna Rivera with 475 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: some little leaguers, and we had ESPN and Barstool Sports 476 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: there and it was like a total home run of 477 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: a day. Sorry for the metaphor, it was absolutely outstanding. 478 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: And the poetic justice is that when Fauchi threw out 479 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: the first pitch, other than Carle Ray Jepson's, it was 480 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: the worst first pitch ever thrown. He based stole the 481 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: first pitch honors from Trump. Wow. Yes, So our staff 482 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: was in Tiansag with Major League Baseball. They were going 483 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: to have President Trump throughout the first pitch. Before there 484 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: was any announcement, Fauchi and the Nats conspired to get 485 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: Fauchi invited instead, and they put the announcement out before 486 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: the White House in major league. Wow. I mean that's 487 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: a great story. I didn't know that. Thank you for Yeah. 488 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean that's insane, that's absolutely ridiculous. Thank you Brian. 489 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: The book, obviously, we'd encourage people to check it out. 490 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: Then Yet's and Vino dinner Table Stories from the Trump 491 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: White House, our friend Brian Morganster and Brian Goold to 492 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: talk to you, buddy, you guys, thanks for having me on. 493 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: Great to chat. Look, having an emergency food supply on 494 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: hand is a prudent investment, no matter what's going on. 495 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: We just had the FED increase interest rates, We got 496 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: all sorts of issues with supply chain.

COVID is over. Oh no wait, 519 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: Biden said it's over, But now they're telling us it's 520 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: not over. His handlers just distracted by all the cars, 521 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: Troy shiny cars at the car shows. That's what they 522 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: were telling us. Who runs the country nobody really knows, 523 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter a bunch of libs. But as COVID actually Overwell, 524 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: it is, and it's not. It's actually the answer. It's 525 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: over to rational, reasonable people. But there are still restrictions 526 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: out there. They just fired eight hundred and fifty teachers 527 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: in New York City for not getting a COVID shot 528 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: that the private sector no longer has to worry about 529 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: starting I think November. Who can make sense of all this? Oh? 530 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: I know our friend Carol Markowitz from the New York 531 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: Post where she's an opinion columnist. She's got a piece 532 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: out continuing COVID craziness. Shows it was never about the science, Carol, No, 533 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: it was not. Tell everybody how we know this now 534 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: more than ever. Hi, guys, you know how many of 535 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: these pieces have I written and have been on to discuss, 536 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: and yet we're still in this insanity in so many 537 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: of these places. It's September twenty twenty two, and yesterday 538 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: in New York City lifted its private vaccine mandate, the 539 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate that was for private companies, and the rest 540 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: of the country is like, wait, they had a vaccine 541 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: mandate for private companies. It's such a baffling and backwards 542 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: way of living, and it's so disappoints me that more 543 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: New Yorkers don't speak up about it, Carol, do you 544 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: You're in Florida now, and obviously the news today about 545 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: Trump and the criminal civil charges, but the fact that 546 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: there's still criminal allegations pending. In everything else, the Santis 547 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: is going to win comfortably in forty eight days reelection 548 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: in Florida. Most Floridians that you talk to want the 549 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: Santis to run for president or they want him to 550 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: stay as governor. So it's interesting because I think that 551 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: Floridians have a completely different consideration. It's not so much 552 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: the Trump de Santis thing down here, it's the can 553 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: we lose our governor? So it's it's like in the 554 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: rest of the country, I feel like the conservative question 555 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: is which of these two guys do we want? Whereas 556 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: in Florida, it's like, wait, we really don't want to 557 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: lose our governor, even though everybody kind of think he 558 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: would make an amazing presidential candidate. So ultimately, yeah, I 559 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: think people like him and want him entire office. I 560 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: think they're concerned about what happens to their state. It's 561 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: a really kind of perilous time, they feel, and it 562 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: can go either way, Like the state has been trending 563 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: red and it's been pretty deep read in the last 564 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: few years. But you know, anything can happen. This hand 565 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: is only won by a very small marginal last time, 566 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: so a lot of affection for the governor. I would 567 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: stay down here. We're speaking to Carol mark Whitz, New 568 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: York Post columnist Carol. Crime is one of the big 569 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: issues that Democrats know. They got a real problem with 570 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: the public because the crime numbers are terrible. And when 571 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: you look at this as as an increase, you know, 572 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: people say, oh, it was worse than the nineties. Yeah, 573 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: well that was thirty years ago. So when you look 574 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: at a not just a thirty or forty fifty percent increase, 575 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: someplace have had shootings, homicides increase one hundred percent, one 576 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty percent. But but you share this story, 577 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: I'd know it was written I think by somebody else 578 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: about the Park Slope panthers. Can you just tell everybody 579 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: a little bit about about the park because you used 580 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: to live in Park Slope in New York City? What 581 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: do people need to know about this? This neighborhood watch 582 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: group that apparently couldn't get past whether to call people 583 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: crazy or neurodivergent when they were growing bottles and old ladies. 584 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: So park Slope is an insane place, but for a 585 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: long time it was a really beautiful, very very safe 586 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: place to be. And the growing up in New York City, 587 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,239 Speaker 1: park Slope was a dream, especially for somebody growing up 588 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. It was actually the dream. But what's happened 589 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: in the last few years is it's gone from liberal 590 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: to leftist and it has really lost the plot. This story, 591 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: by Susie Weiss on Barry White's Common Sense page was 592 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: about a group that had formed because a homeless person 593 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: had killed somebody's dog, and that finally moved Parkslopers to say, 594 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: we have to start taking this crime thing more seriously. 595 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: It's finally here. It's happening now. And I know a 596 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: side note to this. In twenty twenty, when people were saying, oh, 597 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: crime is getting bad, all the people in Parkslope were saying, 598 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: that's very racist. You say, actually, and we shouldn't be 599 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: talking about crime getting bad because you know, and so 600 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: it wasn't really affecting them, but now it is. And 601 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: this group formed and it's a hilarious story. It really 602 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: made my day. It was so funny and so well written. 603 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that it was supposed to be funny necessarily, 604 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: but it was amazing and how these teenagers came up 605 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: to them and said that they should be checking their privilege. 606 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: And of course these teenagers live in Parkslope, grew up 607 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: in Parkslope, are the most privileged people possible, etc. Highly 608 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: recommend the story, So, Carol, in twenty twenty one, suburban 609 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: moms said we've had and they went and they got 610 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: Glenn Yunkin elected in Virginia and nearly flipped New Jersey. 611 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how much of a red wave we 612 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: saw in that first year after the Biden administration. What 613 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: do you think we're going to see in forty eight days? 614 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: How are those suburban moms going to react? How much 615 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: did abortion change the political calculus in your mind in 616 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: terms of those suburban mom decisions. And the reason why 617 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm pointing out suburban moms in particular is there's lots 618 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: of people who know, we know how they're going to vote. 619 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: That was the sort of the impetus, the charge that 620 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: changed things in twenty one. How are these moms going 621 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: to vote? In your mind in twenty two. I still 622 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: think that that demographic is fired up and really wants 623 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: to go to the ballot box and punish the people 624 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: who had kept schools closed for as long as they did, 625 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: kept their kids masks for as long as they did, 626 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: kept them in the vaccine mandates for as long as 627 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: they did. I think that that demographic block is still 628 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: very significant. The problem is I don't see Republican candidates 629 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: speaking to that block in the same way that Glenyonkin did. 630 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: Glen Yonkin made himself the education guy, and that is 631 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: so powerful. It's not just these issues that we're dealing 632 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: with right now. Education on so many different levels has 633 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: just collapsed in cities all across the country. And I 634 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: think that that candidates that can speak to these concerns, 635 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: collapsing standards, merit removal of merit based anything, all of 636 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: this is very important to parents, and I just don't 637 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 1: see the same kind of Republican contact to these people. 638 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of these people are still 639 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: fired up on their own, but it would be best 640 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: if the Republican Party could maybe craft some messaging around 641 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: this target this demographic specifically, because I think that they 642 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: want to vote, they want to be courted and the 643 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: publican party should do that, you know, Carol, also on 644 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: the issue of transgender indoctrination and now even surgery for youth, 645 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: I do think that Republicans. Look, I just think this 646 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: is a critical moral issue. Is I think this is 647 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: about truly defending children and saving them from making life 648 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: destroying decisions. Because there's a this is fashionable on the 649 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: left now, a lot of this stuff has become just 650 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: it's fashionable to push this and tell kids and you know, 651 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: change your pronouns and change your name, and you have 652 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: your breast cut off if you're female, all this stuff 653 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: that's going on. And one thing that I just find is, 654 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: on the one hand, you know, we'll see let's say, 655 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 1: like a drag queen story hour with children there and 656 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: or drag show with children there, and the left will say, oh, 657 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: it's bigot it it's why you know, why why are 658 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: you pointing this out? This isn't rep And then a 659 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: few weeks later there's another one, and then there's how 660 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: hard is it for them to not do this? I mean, 661 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: it really does seem like whether it's pornographic books in 662 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: schools for children or highly inappropriate sexualized shows for children. 663 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: The Left doesn't want to give this up. Yeah, I 664 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: fully agree. And the fact that they are having these 665 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: kids keep secrets and their parents, I think that would 666 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: be such a powerful line for parents to understand that 667 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: it's not just that your kid is using a different 668 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: pronoun in school, it's that they're encouraged to keep that 669 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: a secret from you. And I like, I've said this before, 670 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: but you know, when in New York City, my teen, 671 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 1: you know, preteen daughter had so many kids in her 672 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: class declare themselves trends, it really was like a contagion, 673 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: and it was only happening among girls, and it was 674 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: happening at like, at such a clip that it couldn't 675 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: possibly be like, there just aren't this many trans people 676 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: in the world, let alone in one, you know, one 677 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: sixth grade class. So I think that parents have to 678 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: be kind of more aware of what's happening in their 679 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: schools and what their rights are. And again, this could 680 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: be something that the Republican Party speaks to these parents about, 681 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: which I don't think that they're doing that great. I 682 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: think that they could say, like, you know, we all 683 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: want to be sympathetic to kids who feel, you know, 684 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: the wrong that there was born on the wrong gender 685 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: or whatever. But the way that we handle this isn't 686 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: to let you know, secrets be kept from parents at school, 687 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: or to let them have hormones or any of this. 688 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: And I think that there's a great way to make 689 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: parents understand what the problem is. Carol. Buck's been making 690 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: fun of me for ten days now because I care 691 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: about the British Royal family and pay a lot of 692 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: attention to all the drama and everything else, and you know, 693 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: ten million people watch the funeral. And he confessed that 694 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: his fiance is also in my camp and agrees that 695 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: all the palace intrigue is fantastic. Are you team Buck? 696 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: And that no one should care in America about the 697 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: Royal family or team Clay and that maybe you agree 698 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: with that, but you also desperately pay attention to all 699 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: of the drama. No, I don't pay attention to all 700 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: of the drama. But the New York Post is obviously 701 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: pretty into the whole Royal family thing. It's a major 702 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: topic at the Post. So I read the post coverage. 703 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't watch any of the funeral. I 704 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: lived in Scotland, which should maybe say that I, you know, 705 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: would be more interested in the royal family. But nobody 706 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: is less interested in the royal family the people. So 707 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: I got to move to Scotland. Apparently Edinburgh is an 708 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: amazing town. Where did you live in Scotland in the north, 709 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: in a small town called Forest? Oh wow, I'm putting 710 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: you down in Camp and Team Clay on the Thanks 711 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: Carol Mark, what's New York Post? Go reader stuff? She's brilliant, Carol, 712 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you guys. Thanks all right, friends. Do 713 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: you remember the TV show The McGlocklin Report. It was 714 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: an old school example of how Americans argued about which 715 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: policies to pursue to improve the great country that we love. 716 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,760 Speaker 1: No one argued about the value of freedom in America 717 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: or how great the country was. Everyone just knew that 718 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: was a given. But today you put a show like 719 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: that on TV and the debate would turn into whether 720 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: we should love America or be ashamed of it. The 721 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: reason for this is simple. For too many years, too 722 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young 723 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: Americans about America's great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead 724 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: with a dishonest narrative of America. It's fundamentally unjust.
