00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Joined the conversation

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email team bucket

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: We warned you about this, told you that this was coming,

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: that the Democrats weren't going to respect any of the

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: rules of the road, that there wasn't going to be

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: some coming together or unity. That didn't last long at all,

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: did it. They couldn't even go a couple of months

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: pretending that Biden was really going to unify the country. Now,

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: that was what people were sold, right. We were in

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: a very difficult year, the pandemic. Folks were scared, and

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: in response, the media knew, the Democrat Party knew they

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: had to put a guy who just seemed somewhat non

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: threatening forward and who promised to be America's grandfather. You know,

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: just no joke here. I am Joe Biden. And we

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: see what that really results in. And it's just the progressive,

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: left wing administration that you would have gotten with any

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: number of other Democrat candidates. In fact, I kind of

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: wish it had been Bernie Sanders instead, so at least

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: they'd be honest about their socialist intent. But another place

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot of honesty these days is online.

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: There are people who are doing a whole bunch of

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: things you need to be aware of. They're targeting you.

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: For one, they want to get access to your private

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: information to sell you know, that's happening everything you're doing online.

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: That's happening all the time too. There are people that

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: are trying to get access to your information to steal

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: it to make money, meaning that they're going to actually

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: take your credit card or whatever they can get off

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: your computer and engage in criminal fraud. And then you've

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: also got, on top of all that the censorship from

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: big tech and from the social media companies. How can

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,919

00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: go all the way right, That's what the Conservatives, that's

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: what the go along to get along GOP wants to

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: tell themselves at nights so that they can sleep and

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: that they won't worry that much about the future of

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: the country. And yet the Democrats show their hand and

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: sure enough, institutions respect for our norms. All that stuff

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: that they talked about during the Trump administration, it was

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: just that empty words in the pursuit of Democrat power.

59
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: I bring you the latest here with Democrats planning to

60
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: unveil a bill that would add Supreme Court justices. That's right,

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: a court packing bill, and it's going to go from

62
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: nine to thirteen if they get their way, and I

63
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: just dramatically expand the court. This hasn't happened in over

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years. And this is a reminder

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: of just who the Democrats really are. They are authoritarians.

66
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: They believe in one thing and one thing only, and

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: that is the mansion of their power. They are absolutists.

68
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: They act with a certainty that they know what is best.

69
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: They know what is right for everyone in the country.

70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: They know what's right for you, and you're not really

71
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: allowed to say anything about it. You're just told what

72
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: to do. And if they get a clear majority on

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, then there will be no break in

74
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: their minds. Because do you think they're gonna think about

75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: it this way? You think they go for court packing

76
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: and not break the filibuster. I think you could say

77
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: this is the Democrat break the glass plan. They've decided

78
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: to just go for it. If not, now, when think

79
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: about what they could do here, think about the cast

80
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: scading effect. If they say, well, we're actually gonna We're

81
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: actually gonna pack the Supreme Court, and then they decide, well,

82
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: we've already we've already crossed the rubicon, Because that's exactly

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: what this is this is the rubicon my ends for

84
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: our government. And they say, well, we've already done that,

85
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: so why not take it a step further and also

86
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster, So then you would have

87
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: no legislative check on the Democrat Party and no judicial

88
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: check on the Democrat Party. Are they could get rid

89
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: of both of these? They could very easily do this

90
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: if they want to. And really what may happen, of course,

91
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: is they do the filibuster first and then do the

92
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Supreme Court bill. But these are the steps that they

93
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: can take to create a one party state. And I

94
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: want I want you to ask yourself this question. Now,

95
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: put aside what you think is normative, put aside what

96
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: you think we're supposed to believe. If the Democrat Party could,

97
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: if the Democrat Party could get rid of the Republican

98
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Party right now in one fell swoop, couldn't they do that?

99
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Wouldn't they do that? Right? What would stop them? You

100
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: don't think they'd want to get rid of Republicans. You

101
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: don't think that they would like to be a party

102
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: with seventy or eighty percent control of the electorate. And

103
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: then then there's this gop, this rump, this old vestige

104
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: of a GOP that exists as just the controlled opposition

105
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: that happens in other democracies around the world. You know,

106
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: this is not something that's unprecedented. A one party state

107
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: with no real check on the control of the Democrat Party,

108
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: and at that point it just grows and grows. We've

109
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: already got an open border, friends, We've already got modern

110
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: monetary theory at work. As far as the Democrats are concerned,

111
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: spend whatever they want to spend. Where are we able

112
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: to slow them down? Where is our tag resistance? Well,

113
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: as you're seeing, doesn't doesn't seem very effective at all,

114
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: doesn't haven't been able to really figure out how to

115
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: get this going. And those of us who were warning

116
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: about this from the very beginning now point to this

117
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: and just say we told you, for those independence for

118
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: those never Trump or Republicans, for whatever moderate Democrats that

119
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: are in the country, you don't get a moderate administration

120
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: just because you have an old, boring politico like Joe

121
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Biden at the top. That's not what happens with the

122
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: modern Democrat Party. That's not how this goes. And all

123
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: the things that we talk about that the Democrats want

124
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: to do, the most radical Green New Deal agenda, that

125
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: taking of your guns. What's to stop them if they

126
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: eliminate the filibuster, which they can they can very well do.

127
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: What's to stop them if they eliminate the filibuster? And

128
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: if they pack the Supreme Court from enacting any part

129
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: of their agenda, Who's going to tell them no? And

130
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: I sit here and I'm very frustrated, of course by

131
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: what happened in the last election, and the fact that

132
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: we have to come to grips as a party, with

133
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the fact that we are in a very weak position

134
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: right now, right after having a president that we believe

135
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: to be part of the beginning of a political movement.

136
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: Now I think there's a comeback in our future. And

137
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: if I were to have guessed after this last election,

138
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: when would we feel, I'll just say it, feel the

139
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: most depressed to be a conservative, it was going to

140
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: be right about starting now and going into the fall.

141
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: Here's my case for optimism, though, because yeah, right right,

142
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: right at this moment, it feels pretty bleak. I get it.

143
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: But here's my case for optimism. The Democrats aren't good

144
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: at governing. In fact, the greatest enemy that the Biden

145
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: administration has is the observation of the American people with

146
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: respect to what Joe Biden's doing. There is nothing, There

147
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: is nothing that will make people turn on this administration

148
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: more than actually having to live through the policies and

149
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: decision making of the socialist Democrat apparatus. That is the

150
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: single best machine for Republican turnout and for flipping independence

151
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and even some moderate Democrats to our side in the midterms.

152
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: What's going on at the southern border, where I will

153
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: be next week for a few days, is a disaster,

154
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: and the Democrats cannot and will not stop it. What's

155
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: going on with our spending will lead to inflation. This

156
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: will lead to real economic pain for people, particularly the

157
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: particularly those who live off of wages and have been

158
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: trying to save money, to try to build assets, to

159
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: get ahead of the paycheck to paycheck cycle that so

160
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: many millions of Americans are in. It's going to hurt

161
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: them because everything food, gas, housing gets more expensive. These

162
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: things are going to occur. And never mind the foreign

163
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: policy challenges that we're seeing a rise here, the Biden

164
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: team is simply not up to it. Joe Biden is

165
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: not up to it. You think this is a smart guy,

166
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: You think this is somebody who really has wisdom and

167
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: good judgment. He never did before now, and even the

168
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: Democrats knew it. But we're supposed to forget all of that.

169
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: We're to pretend that Joe Biden's actually a winner just

170
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: because he happened to win this last election after losing

171
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: so many attempts before to be president, because he was

172
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: the man for the moment of fraud that the Democrats

173
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: were perpetrating against the American people, pretending that we were

174
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: going to get a different administration from what we got.

175
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: Think of all the times they lectured us about how

176
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Trump was undermining our sacred institutions, and now, in your

177
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: own head, just take a moment to consider what institution

178
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: did Trump really undermine? What institution was Trump willing to

179
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: put through the kind of upheaval the Democrats are talking

180
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: about now, whether it's the filibuster in the Senate or

181
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: even bigger the Supreme Court. I mean, can't Democrats understand

182
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: what this leads to? But there's there's a childishness, a selfishness,

183
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: and a short sightedness at the heart of so much

184
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: of the Democrat parties aid so much of its emotional thinking.

185
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Harry Reid decided to invoke the nuclear option when they

186
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: had a Senate majority of the Democrats side, and then

187
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: that led to changes the Democrats didn't like, because all

188
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was a simple majority vote to

189
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: get through judges. They started it, and then when it

190
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: happened exactly as everybody warned it would, that there would

191
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: be an equal and opposite reaction in a sense, to

192
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: their usurpation, to their power grab, and they decided, well,

193
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: now we're just going to just escalate it even more.

194
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: And that's the phase we're in right now. We were

195
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: told they'd never use the nuclear option, and then they did.

196
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Under the Obama administration, Harry Reid hit the nuke button

197
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: for the filibuster in the Senate on judicial nominees. And

198
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: now we're at a point where they're just saying, maybe

199
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: we should get rid of that entirely, the filibuster, and

200
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: and we should pack the Supreme Court. Do they really

201
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: think that it would stop at thirteen? No, of course

202
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: not the Republican Party. The Republican Party would be a

203
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: bunch of cowards and whimps if they didn't decide the

204
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: next time they were in power that they would add

205
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: a few judges of their own. You know this is

206
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: what happens. Give it. You know ten years you're gonna

207
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: have twenty Supreme Court justices, or you know you have

208
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: to have twenty one. I guess you haven't odd number,

209
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: but you understand what I'm saying. Just keeps ratcheting up

210
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: because they've abandoned shared principle in the pursuit of power

211
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: central to the Democrat ethos these days, they simply don't care.

212
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: And here's the other part of this, and this is

213
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: why I brought up the one party state idea. There

214
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: is a belief among Democrats that if they go scorched

215
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: earth right now, it won't matter. It won't matter what

216
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the Republican Party thinks or wants to do in response

217
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: when power switches hands, because they think they can prevent

218
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: that from ever happening. That's what really is in the

219
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: back of the minds of the leftist socialist strategists who

220
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: are actually making the calls behind the scenes. Can they

221
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: effectively neuter and cast aside the Republican Party once and

222
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: for all if they just go for it, and under

223
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, you'll notice it really is just a

224
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: continuation of the Obama administration approach, which was whatever you

225
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: gotta do to win, and whatever you gotta do to

226
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: crush the other side. Break any rules you got to break,

227
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: sick the irs on your political opponents, you know, use

228
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: executive orders in ways that are clearly abusive of constitutional

229
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: separation of powers, and whatever you gotta do, pen and

230
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: a phone, just go for it. I hope everyone is

231
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: waking up to what is happening around us right now.

232
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: As I said, this is the rubicon. The Democrats are

233
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: looking at the water as it rushes by, and the

234
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: only question remains as to what we will do if

235
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: and when they cross it. Parts of our country are

236
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: backsliding into the days of Jim Crow, passing laws that

237
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: harken back to the air of poll taxes on black

238
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: people are made to guess how many beans, how many

239
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: jelly beans in the jar, or count the number of

240
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: bubbles in a bar of soap before they could cast

241
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: her ballot. Backsliding into the days of Jim and Crowe.

242
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: What a horrific, awful, dishonest thing for the President of

243
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: the United States to say, reckless, absolutely reckless demagoguery. But

244
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: this is what Joe Biden has done. His whole career.

245
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is at his core just a slimy fraud.

246
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: He's always just done whatever would be most beneficial for

247
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: him within the Democrat apparatus. That's his whole career. He

248
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: stands for nothing. He stands for Bidenism, which stands for

249
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: whoever is going to either write him the biggest check

250
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: or provide him the biggest political boost. This guy is

251
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: effectively a weather vane. He goes wherever the forces around him.

252
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: He is inept at anything else, and this is why

253
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: he has this long history of gaffs, they say, But

254
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: really the gaffs are just a result of this being

255
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: a man of poor judgment who's not very bright. Joe

256
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Biden's just not a very smart guy. We all know it.

257
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: We all can see it. He's never been impressive in

258
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: any way. I mean to be the senator from a

259
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: state of Delaware, Okay, you know whoop d who cares?

260
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: And yet Joe Biden is President of the United States.

261
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: What a sad state of affairs? Right A? What a

262
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: sad situation. This is Joe Biden saying just destructive things

263
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: at this moment in time when we all know that

264
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: there's an expectation of riots going beyond what's already happening.

265
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you think the riots of Minneapolis are bad, now,

266
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: think about what they'll be like next week after the

267
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: Chauvin trial. And now you know, who knows what the

268
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: final outcome will be. I don't believe. I mean, if

269
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: they charge Chauvin with felony murder, I mean they're just

270
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: then now we're just actually going beyond what any reasonable

271
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: person could think to punish people for the benefit of

272
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: the mob. But where a country that now is increasingly

273
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: operating at the whims of the mob. You see this,

274
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: You see how this happens. Look at the response you

275
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: get from our media apparatus. Look at what's said by

276
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: the journos and the elected Democrats, from Biden to Pelosi,

277
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: to Schumer to AOC to to Lead to all of them.

278
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: Look at the way they speak about this movement, this

279
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: BLM movement, and these rioters. Let's just all be honest

280
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: about this. And I've written about this today at buck

281
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Sex and let's just say it. Riots are self indulgent idiocy.

282
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Not only do they break laws and hurt people, they

283
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: don't even bring about an outcome of benefit for anyone

284
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: other than a very small circle of elites and activists

285
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: who either cheer this on from afar or gather social

286
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: capital for themselves by making excuses for it. I mean,

287
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: does anybody really think that there has been a single,

288
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: a single benefit from all of this, a single worthwhile

289
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: aspect of it. I mean, put aside for a moment

290
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: the appalling immorality of looting businesses because people are upset,

291
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: or systemic oppression, or whatever childish justification is offered at

292
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: that moment. For baham, right, what has come out of

293
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: BLM that has made anything better for anyone? Could any

294
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: of the BLM organizers name a single concession or change

295
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: resulting from their agitation that actually made lives better? Of

296
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: course not. And let's be honest about this. Defund the

297
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: police is possibly the most moronic, reckless political slogan uttered

298
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: in living memory, but the BLM movement acts as though

299
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: it's the rallying cry of a new civil rights struggle.

300
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to take the BLM activist claim

301
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: seriously when so many times these mostly peaceful protests end

302
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: with mobs stealing sneakers and designer handbags. A healthy nation

303
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: does not feel under siege at the whims of the mob,

304
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: and that is where we are friends. People get angry,

305
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: they take to the streets. Are political class tries to

306
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: placate them or treats them as heroes. They should be

307
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: universally condemned. And it's not about protests. Nobody cares that

308
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: protest all day, get out with your plaque, or do

309
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Protests are fine, but they know that

310
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: won't actually have the intended effect. Why because their argument

311
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: is weak. What they're claiming that law enforcement is evil

312
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: and racist is not true, and most Americans know that.

313
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: So what do they do. They add a layer of

314
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: intimidation to it. Antifa BLM. They decide that it's not

315
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: just their voices that must be heard. It's the feeling

316
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: of the bricks hitting cops in the face. It's the

317
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: sound of shattered glass from stores in your neighborhood, and

318
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: the sense that you cannot trust the political class to

319
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: protect you and they want to disarm you simultaneously. I

320
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: believed that our presidence in Afghanistan should be focused on

321
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: the reason we went in the first place, to ensure

322
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: Afghanistan would not be used as a base from which

323
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: to attack our homeland. Again, we did that. We accomplished

324
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: that objective. I said, among with others, we'd follow some

325
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: and been laden to the gates of hell if need be.

326
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: That's exactly what we did, and we got him. It

327
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: took us close to ten years to put President Obama's

328
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: commitment in the form, and that's exactly what happened. Well,

329
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: some have been lauden was gone. That was ten years ago.

330
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Think about that. We delivered justice to have been lauden

331
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: a decade ago, and we've stayed in Afghanistan for a

332
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: decade since he says they're all going to be out.

333
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: All of our troops will be out by September eleventh

334
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: of this year. Should be noted that this is on

335
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: a timeline that was put forward by Trump before the

336
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: Biden administration even came into office. But like I've said before,

337
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: I'm not changing my opinion on this because we have

338
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: a different commander in chief. I think enough is enough,

339
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: and I want to also make sure I'm very clear

340
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: when I say that I believe that the situation Afghanistan

341
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: will will likely deteriorate after US troops are pulled out.

342
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: Now to what extent that's anybody's guests right now, but

343
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: it's it's not going to be good. But we also

344
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: shouldn't establish not only a pattern of staying in a

345
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: country and trying to build it, trying to create stability

346
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: in a foreign country that we don't have an immediate

347
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: national security interest in, and that's putting it, you know,

348
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: that's one way of just saying we can't do this

349
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: nation building thing. And then beyond that, there's always the

350
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: possibility that if you were there, your mission set will

351
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: escalate and the Taliban's not going anywhere. We figured that out.

352
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: There's that old I think it's attributed to mullah Omar

353
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: that you know, we have all the clocks, but they

354
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: have all the time, which is true in a sense.

355
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: And so we're going to go through this process of

356
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: a withdrawal. Remember the Obama administration withdrew from Iraq and

357
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: that did lead to the rise of ISIS and we

358
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: ended up having a huge mess in the region. That

359
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: is also possible here with Afghanistan. We need to be

360
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: very straightforward about that that this could have some rapid

361
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: deterioration and then you'll you'll have another major problem on

362
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: your hands. But the alternative is to just stay there. Forever,

363
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: and all of I can tell you this. I don't

364
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm not doing some official polling or anything like that.

365
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: But all of the Afghan combat vets that I know

366
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: that I've talked to you about this say that they

367
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: just feel like it's it's time. Enough is enough here

368
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: and we need to get out. And so here's Biden

369
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: telling us all that, you know, the Afghans have got

370
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: to take command here and do their thing. Play eight,

371
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, weeks before we swore the oath

372
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: of office, President Obama and I were about to swear

373
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: President Obama asked me to travel to Afghanistan and report

374
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: back on the state of the war in Afghanistan. I

375
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: flew to Afghanistan to the Kunar Valley, a rugged mountainous

376
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: region on the border with Pakistan. What I saw on

377
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: that trip reinforced my conviction that only the Afghans have

378
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: the right and responsibility to leave their country. And then

379
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: more and endless American military force could not create or

380
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: sustain a durable Afghan government. I believed that our presidence

381
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan should be focused on the reason we went

382
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: in the first place. The mission has been accomplished in

383
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: afghanist of destroying al Qaeda. For a long time, we

384
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: did transition into this other mission of trying to make

385
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: Afghanistan a successful country that can defend itself and maintain

386
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: its own borders and have a functioning government. And then

387
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: it turned into you know, school for girls and human

388
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: rights and things like this, all worthy goals, but not

389
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: our fight. And there has been no real way to

390
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: take the mission beyond where it's been for about the

391
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: last decade. And I can tell you, having seen the

392
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: assessments at the very highest level from a decade ago

393
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: when I was in the CIA and working in the

394
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: Afghan issue and in Afghanistan for months, that there was

395
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: no realistic plan to get us to the point where

396
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: the conditions based approach would let us leave. There was

397
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: a realistic plan. We kept having people come forward who

398
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: would say, oh, well, we're just going to do this.

399
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna train the Afghan Army and we're gonna train

400
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: the Afghan National Police, and somebody would then probably bring

401
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: up in the conference room or wherever. Hey, But that

402
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: was the plan two years ago. And this is where

403
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: we are now, and it's be quiet, We'll do it

404
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: better this time, and it just kept happening and happening.

405
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: So we had the Obama administration, if you remember, search

406
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand troops at one point in Afghanistan,

407
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: massive force escalation. And here we are again having a conversation,

408
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: what can we pull out the last three or four

409
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: thousand soldiers from Afghanistan. You know, they told us if

410
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: we didn't have a bigger military presence in Syria, remember that,

411
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: after we crushed after Trump crushed the Islamic State, there

412
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: was a debate. I remember it, Oh, we need to

413
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: maintain a longer term presence there. I know there's some

414
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: there's some small number of you know, US operators, US

415
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: special forces and others who are still in the region.

416
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: But they did not. There was not this long term,

417
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: large scale military presence to hold it all together, and

418
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: we had to fight against that. I think it's fast

419
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: that Biden is claiming that this decision is not a

420
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: tough one for him. Here's what he said, play six

421
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: hard to say. That wasn't me. It was absolutely clear,

422
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: absolutely clear. We went for two reasons. You real have

423
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: been larned. The man in the safe had from the

424
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: very beginning to take you, Mary call I never thought

425
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: we were there too. Somehow you given the fire right,

426
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me a few step. It's never been done.

427
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: It's never been done. It's never it's never been done.

428
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is the guy who's making decisions.

429
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, I think it is. I think

430
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: it's the right decision. But let's frame this in the

431
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: right way. Joe Biden is fulfilling the timeline and the

432
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: plan set forth by the Trump administration before him. And

433
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: I just want to put this out there. Do you

434
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: think there's a very different approach in the way the

435
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: media is covering this? Did you just I mean, I

436
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: know this is a silly question because you know the answer,

437
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: but really, just just take a moment, you know it.

438
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: Is it really the case that our national media believes

439
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: that when Joe Biden does something, it is brilliant, but

440
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: when Trump wanted to do the same thing, or Trump

441
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: wanted to do it before Joe Biden did, it was reckless.

442
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: It was spur of the moment. Oh yes, friends, that

443
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: is absolutely the case. Hats appear to Drew Holden for

444
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: pulling together from a from dec He's a prelance commentary writer.

445
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Pulling together this thread on Twitter. Here's what he had today,

446
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: President Biden announced his intention. I'm sorry, this is from yesterday,

447
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: to end the war in Afghanistan, a great media fanfare.

448
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: You may remember way back in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,

449
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: President Trump said the same thing. Let me know if

450
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: you can spot the difference in coverage then versus now.

451
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: When Trump said we were leaving, CNN quoted the NATO

452
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: Secretary General with a stark warning about how dangerous the

453
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: move would be. But when Biden's decision was announced, well,

454
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: that one was different. Here here's here is the way

455
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: CNN covered. I mean, this is a fun game, isn't it.

456
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: CNN covered Trump's announcement of the desire to withdraw from Afghanistan.

457
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: Quote NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenborg or I guess it's yen's.

458
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Stoltenberg issued a stark warning that any premature withdrawal from

459
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: Afghanistan could be dangerous a day after reports that President

460
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: Trump is eyeing a troop drawn out against the advice

461
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: of the nation's top military official. So Trump says it,

462
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: and they CNN runs off to NATO and NATO's secretary

463
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: General and then just has this general. You know, America's

464
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: top military officials disagree. So basically Trump is reckless. Trump

465
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: is doing this, okay, CNN when Joe Biden announces it. Quote.

466
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: As President Biden prepares to lay out his plan to

467
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, a source familiar with his

468
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: thinking tells CNN's Christiane am Umpur that he thinks no

469
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: amount of US troops in the country could be a

470
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: game changer anymore. So it's just when Biden does it,

471
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: it's let's let's tell everybody. What is thinking is, let's

472
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: be the pr team for a president Joe Biden. But

473
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: when Trump announced that, it's let's go to a foreigner

474
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: and get his opinion and then say that the whole

475
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: US military apparatus is opposed against him, it's amazing. On

476
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: CNN yesterday, this is just reckless and it is really risky,

477
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: says Brett Bruin of Trump's planned to withdraw troops from

478
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan. You're not sharing information with the incoming administration,

479
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: so the likelihood that something could go wrong is very

480
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: very high. CNN reporting That was when Trump announced it.

481
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: CNN reporting on Biden's announcement. Former President Obama praised President

482
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: Biden's bold leadership for his decision to withdraw US troops

483
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan by September eleventh, saying that it is time

484
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: to recognize that we've accomplished all that we can military

485
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: and military in America's longest war. A little more here, CNN.

486
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: Diplomats worried Trump's desire to withdraw US troops risk success

487
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: of Afghan Taliban talks. CNN Again, President Biden has announced

488
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: his decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan before September eleventh.

489
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: The twentieth anniversity of the terrorist attacks in the World

490
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: Trade Center and the Pentagon that led the US into

491
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: its longest war. All right, let's now, let's look over

492
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: the New York Times. Let's look over the New York

493
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: Times news analysis. The Taliban wanted the US to leave Afghanistan,

494
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Turkey wanted the US out of Syria, and North Korea

495
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: wanted them to stop military exercise with South Korea. Trump has,

496
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: to some extent obliged all three, but without getting much

497
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: in return. New York Times, we went to war in

498
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened twenty years ago.

499
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: President Biden said, I'm announcing a full withdrawal from the

500
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: country that cannot explain why we should remain there in

501
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I mean, it just it just goes

502
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: on and on and on the way see that. But

503
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: this is a clinic in the propaganda from the Democrat media.

504
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: You see, when Trump announces something, let's get all of

505
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: the quote experts and former you know, former Obama regime

506
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: officials and other you know, internationalist foreigners together, and let's

507
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: have them trash the decision that Trump makes. But then

508
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: the same decision under Biden. It's let's just let Biden's

509
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: words be heard, and let's present this as statesmanship. How

510
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: anyone can think that CNN still qualifies as a news

511
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: organization that even makes a pretense of being objective is

512
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: just is just beyond imagination, right, I mean, how anyone

513
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: could cling to such an obvious fiction is just flatly embarrassing.

514
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: But there are people, and a lot of them live

515
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: here in New York where I am, or they live

516
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: in washingtonc they live in LA. They still think CNN

517
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: is you know, where the real information and journalism gets done.

518
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: Don't China administer rations tough talk has been welcome, but

519
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: it's proposal to cut defense spending after inflation suggests there's

520
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: less interest in walking. The walk will not keep pace

521
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: with China and Russia by cutting defense spending to place

522
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: a fringe parts of the far left. The American people need,

523
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: and they deserve, a foreign policy that puts our security,

524
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: our partners, and our interests ahead of the reflective desire

525
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: to break with the last four years at any cost,

526
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: at any cost. If this administration wants a successful legacy

527
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: on the world stage, if they want accomplishments that will endure,

528
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: they need to put American strength back at the center

529
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: and come back to a bipartisan mainstream. Ah yes, Mitch McConnell,

530
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: the bipartisan mainstream in our foreign policy. And that's what

531
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about now. Now when it comes

532
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: to strength abroad, What are the central principles, the central

533
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: tenets of Trumpist foreign policy? If you will, it's America first, right,

534
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: That's where you start from. So is this in America's interest?

535
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Does this work, this decision work for the American people?

536
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: And then beyond that, who are friends? Who are enemies?

537
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: Do they know the difference and does the difference matter?

538
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: And that's a very straightforward place I think for US

539
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: to start on all these issues. Russia right now, let's

540
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: just take a look around. Russia is getting more aggressive

541
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: against Ukraine. Has put out a very a very clear,

542
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: saber rattling statement about how the US should not deploy

543
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: some of its naval forces around Crimea. And now it's

544
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: it's been reported today the bidenministration is actually backing off that,

545
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: but going to announce more sanctions, more targeted sanctions and

546
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: expelling some diplomats is anyonething that's going to do anything,

547
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, let's be honest, we had four

548
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: years of Russia hysteria. Now a democrat comes into office

549
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: and Russia's getting more aggressive than when Trump was in

550
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: office against US and NATO and European interests in general.

551
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: But you're hearing it very muted criticism of what's going

552
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: on here from the Democrat side of things, because what

553
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: do they really want to do? Ultimately, the Democrat mindset

554
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: about foreign policy runs into this problem. The world is

555
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: a dangerous place and there are bad actors and bad

556
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: people in it, and you have to be willing to

557
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: make them face consequences for that. And they have to

558
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: believe you're willing to do that. Otherwise it's all just

559
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: sitting around talking over lattes at you know, Davos or

560
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: in Brussels or wherever, having a bunch of diplomats, you know,

561
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: chit chatting while the bad guys just do what they

562
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: want to do. What do you think the Chinese approach

563
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: is going to be to the Biden administration. I mean,

564
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: I can tell you this right now, I am betting

565
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: on Chinese ascendency against this Biden foreign policy team for

566
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: the next four years. And I don't like to say

567
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: that as an American, but I think that's what we're

568
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: heading for. And then on the Republican side, we need

569
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: to remember that the foreign policy establishment for the GOP

570
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: is still largely dominated by Bush holdovers and neo cons

571
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: and interventionists, people who think that, you know, US military

572
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: power should be projected around the world in ways that

573
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: don't immediately benefit US interests, and there's always another country

574
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: to invade. Me. I look at Iran and I get

575
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: worried because there are still people think, you know, let's

576
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: take this generally militarily insignificant and economically battered country and

577
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: let's consider how we could maybe invade and overthrow and

578
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: do a rock two point Oh. There are still people,

579
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: I can assure you, unfortunately, who believe that more data

580
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: coming out about where we are vaccinations and how effective

581
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: they are and what the risks are and everything else,

582
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know what to tell you. Then I

583
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: keep being right, and the Fauci it's keep being wrong.

584
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: It's it's a really consistent, a consistent situation at this

585
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: point just continues on like that, and I'm hoping more

586
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: and more people wake up to this. It's been so

587
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: damaging the way that they've shut down our ability to

588
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: actually speak about this on the or in the public

589
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: forum that is the digital town square that the social

590
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: media folks have made these decisions. But I'm gonna keep pushing.

591
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep pushing even though it hurts. It

592
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: hurts my bottom line, hurts my reach, hurts, my ability

593
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: to push my podcast and other things out there on

594
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: social media platforms, because I think this issue is too important.

595
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: My own digital team, my own people say, Buck, you

596
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: got to lay off the Fauci stuff or else. You know,

597
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna get throttled, We're gonna get shadow band. We've

598
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: already been and I say, I'm sorry, I'm not going

599
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm not going to back off this.

600
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,799

618
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: The numbers are in on vaccine infection rate, meaning people

619
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: who have been vaccinated and still have some COVID infection.

620
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: Who wants to Who wants to guess? Whether the numbers

621
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: indicate that this is something that justifies continued masking and

622
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: other restrictions for those who are vaccine Who wants to guess?

623
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if you think you think it's incredibly rare,

624
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: A little bit rare, yeah, point zero zero eight. If

625
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: you do some back of the napkin math on this one,

626
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: you've got about sixty some odd million Americans vaccinated so

627
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: far and five thousand cases of infection according to the

628
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: CDC's that's where the number currently stands. That's pretty remarkable,

629
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: isn't it. That's a pretty astonishing, astonishingly low number of

630
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: people who and this is great news. Let me just

631
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 1: say this is great news. We are now we're looking

632
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: at real world data. And if you if you get

633
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: the vaccine, you got like a one in ten thousand

634
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: chance of still getting infected, And if you get infected

635
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: after getting the vaccine, your chances you know, even less

636
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, you know, I haven't crunched the

637
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: numbers on that one, but maybe one or one on

638
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, maybe one in a million that you

639
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: will die if you get COVID after getting the vaccine, right,

640
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of different layers, you're

641
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: a lot of different levels. If somebody is vaccinated and

642
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: yes they technically contract COVID, but they end up having

643
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: a mild version of the disease, Okay, well that's still

644
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: a win, especially if they're an older person who is

645
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: at higher risk. So why is there still this this

646
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: unease and this unwillingness to allow people to go back

647
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: to a normal life. Remember Fauci said just recently, you

648
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: know you shouldn't you shouldn't eat indoors, avoid congregate settings

649
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: for vaccinated people. They are taking away your rights. They're

650
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: taking away and forget about even just a right. They're

651
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: taking away your ability to live a normal life based

652
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: on one in ten thousand and above risk factors. They're

653
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: taking away your ability to live a normal life because

654
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to make basic risk risk analysis decisions

655
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: for yourself. This is tyrannical. I mean, this is not

656
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: it's not an overseaming. This is crazy. These people are

657
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: out of their minds, and it's wrong what they're doing.

658
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: It's wrong and people should understand it as such. They're not,

659
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, careful trying to save all the lives and

660
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: be a good public health servant or whatever. No, this

661
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: is their mentality, the endless busybodying of the American people

662
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: being a hall monitorization of America is almost complete now,

663
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: where you have people who really think that they should

664
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: be walking around outside double masked after being vaccinated. And

665
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: when people like me point out how stupid that is,

666
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm attacked. You don't care if people die. Social media

667
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: shuts down my accounts. Fauci. Fauci has had to address

668
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: the rare instances of people who are vaccinated getting infected.

669
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: I want to walk you through some of the not

670
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: so good doctor, the little fascist Fauci, the lab coat tyrant.

671
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: We're walking through his explanation here and then and then

672
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: we can all talk about how, okay, why are they

673
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: coming to the conclusions they're coming to based on what

674
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: we know about this. Here's how we starts. Thank you

675
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: very much, doctor Lensky. I'd like to spend a few

676
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: minutes now talking about the concept of breakthrough infections. Could

677
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: I have the first slide. I think it'll be important

678
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: to put this into perspective. It's very important with some definitions.

679
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: A breakthrough infection or a vaccine failure is when a

680
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: person contracts an infection despite being vaccinated against it. We

681
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: see this with all vaccines in clinical trials and in

682
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: the real world. No vaccine is one hundred efficacious or effective,

683
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: which means that you will always see breakthrough infections regardless

684
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 1: of the efficacy of your vaccine. Let's stop right there.

685
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as a one percent effective vaccine. Okay,

686
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. So let's just remember that. So anyone who's

687
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: sayingvaccines not one hundred percent effective, that's never going to happen.

688
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: It has never happened, it will never happen. So this

689
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: is all about risk assessment and analysis. There is no

690
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: perfect safety does not exist. So when anyone's saying, oh,

691
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: but you know the vaccine it's only ninety five percent,

692
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: there's still five percent of people getting factored. So we

693
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: still have to wear the masks. They are emotionally unwell,

694
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: they have been brainwashed. Okay, that's what's going on. That's

695
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: the situation as it's playing out. So let's continue here

696
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: with Fauci as he's explaining more about the truth of

697
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: vaccines according to the CDC and the health experts out there.

698
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: Here's what he says. There has primary vaccine failure when

699
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: the body actually doesn't amount an adequate immune response for

700
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. Could be immune status, health status, age,

701
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: medications you're on, or something wrong with the vaccine storage, delivery, composition.

702
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: Secondary vaccine failure may occur when immunity fades over time. Now,

703
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: a vaccine may fail also if a person is exposed

704
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: to a newer, a different strain, or a variant. For example,

705
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: influenzas the most common of this, which mutates rapidly in

706
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: drifts genetically generally from season to season. However, even if

707
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: a vaccine fails to protect against infection, it often protects

708
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: against serious disease. Now, this is important. One area that

709
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's been an intentional that there's been

710
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: a decision not to update the public on is this

711
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: notion of asymptomatic spread. Asymptomatic spread certainly does happen from

712
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: what we know, but it's very difficult to separate truly

713
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: asymptomatic spread from say, pre symptomatic spread, meaning that you're

714
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: somebody like For example, when I got COVID, I have

715
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: felt a little off, but I didn't feel sick. I

716
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: would say about a day or two before I got wrecked.

717
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: And some of you who were listening to the show

718
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: remember that I essentially found out that I felt like

719
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: I was really sick, and then I found out I

720
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: had COVID while I was doing the radio show. But

721
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: I had felt a little iffy for a day or

722
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: two before then, and I was very concerned that I

723
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: had seen some friends and family members in that period

724
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: of time and that I was worried that that they

725
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: could have been exposed. Fortunately, nobody I was in close

726
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: contact with came down with any illness, and I have

727
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: both my parents are vaccinated. And I was a very

728
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: happy day when, you know, the threshold period had passed

729
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: when I didn't have to think about whether I know

730
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: my parents might have been exposed to COVID. Unbeknownst to

731
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: me that I had had it, but I was pre

732
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: symptomatic before I got I got, you know, walloped by it.

733
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: But we're led to believe that, oh, you could feel great,

734
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: you can feel fine one hundred percent and you're spreading

735
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: COVID all over the base. Remember when they look at

736
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: the R number, are one means you give it on

737
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: average if you're sick to one other person. That's what

738
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: we're talking about, give it to one other person. And

739
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: if you have a low level of virus in your

740
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: system and your systems handling it very well, it is

741
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: less likely that you will transmit this virus to other people.

742
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: So why I think this really matters is that not

743
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: because what you hear from people, And you know, I

744
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: saw Tucker Carlson. He keeps digging in and I appreciate

745
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: that he's asking these questions. I appreciate that he's raising this.

746
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: He keeps saying, why can't we go back to normal

747
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: if the vaccine works? And I agree with this premise.

748
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: The answer the left gives that the Fauciites give to

749
00:48:54,600 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: this is because there's still so much virus out there

750
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: that even a five percent failure rate of the vaccine

751
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: is too high a risk for people to go about

752
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: their lives who have been vaccinated. And to that, I say, bullcrap.

753
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: Now is where we have to start saying we balance

754
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: out risk with our lives. Now is where we have

755
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: to be willing to say enough is enough. We're not

756
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: going to live, you know, in fear. And because if

757
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about getting rid of all COVID in the

758
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: community to the point where you don't have to think

759
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: about it, if you're talking about waiting until COVID is

760
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, like like polio or measles or something in

761
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: this country, we are going to be going through lockdowns

762
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: and mitigation and all this stuff for at least another year,

763
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: maybe two or three, who knows, who knows. And then

764
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: there's also the what about the what about the variants? Right?

765
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: What about these other things? Next line? If you look

766
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: get these group of selected vaccines, take a look at

767
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: the chicken pox through shingles, highly highly effective vaccines. If

768
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: you look at influenza, even on a very good year's

769
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: forty to sixty percent effective. But let's drill down on

770
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: that for a second next slide, because it really is

771
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: important to COVID, which are getting to in a moment,

772
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: the benefits of the flu vaccine and the importance of

773
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: hartial protection. If you get vaccinated, no doubt, you're less

774
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 1: likely to get the flu. But even if you do

775
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: get flu and get sick, vaccination can reduce the severity

776
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: and duration of illness and could help get you out

777
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: of trouble if you get a little bit more granula. Granula. Yeah,

778
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: you see, friends, this is why they don't. This is

779
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: why they don't want to have this debate in public. Now,

780
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: this is why you won't see FOUNC you go on

781
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: Tucker's show, because what they'd have to say is we

782
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: are making arbitrary decisions about what is an acceptable percentage

783
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: of risk of spread in society for you, and that

784
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: they're unreasonable in this. Now we know that you are

785
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: your chance of giving someone COVID. I'm sorry, that's not

786
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: even true. Your chance of getting COVID if your vaccinated

787
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: is one in ten thousand, give or take. Based on

788
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: the CDC zone numbers, your chance of getting is one

789
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: in ten thousand. Your chance of giving it to somebody

790
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: after that one in ten thousand is also lessened because

791
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: you'll have less viral load in your system and you

792
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: are less likely to be infectious. One of the reasons

793
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: this is so deadly among seniors and it's been so

794
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: bad when it gets into nursing homes is that very

795
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: critically ill people in the early phase of the of

796
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: the fight against the virus, are shedding more virus. It

797
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: has taken over more of their system. There's there's a

798
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: higher viral load that they're constantly expelling, and they're around

799
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: those higher risk people. That's why it's so dangerous to

800
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: the elderly. But the Fauciites will not allow an honest,

801
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: open discussion about this, because if if we're not at

802
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 1: at a place now where we can agree that vaccinated

803
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: people should go back to normal life, when are we

804
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: ever going to be there when our health policy tyrants

805
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: decide that it's okay again. I think that's I think

806
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: that's unacceptable. I think that's not something that we can

807
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 1: or should concede to them. And it's it's time people

808
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: finally push back and say this is madness, this is crap.

809
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: We can't do this anymore. All right they are. They

810
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: are psychologically breaking millions of people with this outsized fear

811
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: campaign all the time, and the public health experts have failed.

812
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: They have failed to protect us. Their ideas, their policies

813
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: did not get it done. Just look at what happened

814
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: over the last year. Enough is enough. Fauci's a bum,

815
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: and it's time from the go and It's an indication,

816
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: an illustration of just how challenging and diverse this particular

817
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: threat is. We have now over two thousand investigations that

818
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: tie back to the Chinese government, and on the economic

819
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: espionage investigation side alone, it's about a thirteen hundred percent

820
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: increase over the last several years. We're opening a new

821
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 1: investigation in China every ten hours, and I can assure

822
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: the Committee that's not because our folks don't have anything

823
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: to do with their time. China is going to just

824
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: pillage our economy, our intellectual property, our state secrets, everything

825
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: over the next four years, and has been for many

826
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: years now, already for decades really stretching back to the

827
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties. The Chinese Communist Party is our most aggressive,

828
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: most serious opponent on the world stage. And yet what

829
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: was the focus for the last four years Trump and Russia.

830
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: Remember that Trump and Russia. Oh my gosh. Yeah, they

831
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: just constantly misled people into thinking that there was some collusion.

832
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: And as long as it benefited the elites in DC

833
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: in New York, as long as they felt like their

834
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: their friends, their buddies, we're gonna, you know, grin at

835
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: them at cocktail parties for writing stories about Trump Russia collusion.

836
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: As idiotic and false as that was, they were motivated

837
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: to do it. And so we took our eye off

838
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: off the ball with dealing as a country, not the

839
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: not the Trump administration. As a country. We were much

840
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: less focused on China than we should have been. Trump

841
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: was right to confront China on its trade of practices.

842
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: He was right to take action against the Chinese Communist

843
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: Party and its economy. And now with the Biden administration,

844
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: which you're going to see is just whatever's not Trump

845
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: they will want to do. That's the the guiding light,

846
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: if you will, of the Biden administration. Foreign policy is

847
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: going to be whatever Trump was doing, we're going to

848
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: do the opposite. Whatever Trump says was important, we say

849
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: is unimportant. I've also got one other, one other thing

850
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: here on the Russia collusion delusion, just just breaking today.

851
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: US intelligence has walked back claims that Russians put bounties

852
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: on American troops in Afghanistan. Do you remember that story

853
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: I was during the election, Remember that story that they ran.

854
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: The media ran about how there were Russians that were

855
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: paying the Taliban to kill Americans in Afghanistan and why

856
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: isn't Trump doing more about this? It was a lie, folks,

857
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: A lie. I told you it was at the time.

858
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: You know it a lie. You know what else was

859
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: a lie. The story they ran about how Trump said

860
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: that the people that died serving this country and where

861
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: military cemeteries were losers. Another lie, a smear. And these

862
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: people in the corporate media, they wonder why when they

863
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: kept complaining about how Trump lies so much, we didn't

864
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: listen to them. They wonder why we said, shut up.

865
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: We've heard enough of this from you, okay, Because it's

866
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: always about well, what is this lie? Is the lie

867
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: an inflated opinion? Is the lie something unimportant? Or is

868
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: it something meant to really mislead on an important issue

869
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: so that Democrats can get away with more of their nonsense.

870
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: These are the questions that we need to ask. These

871
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: are the things that come up and require our attention.

872
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, us intel, it's the Daily Beast. The Daily

873
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 1: Beast is one of the most trash publications online, which

874
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: is remarkable when you think about it. But it's true.

875
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: The Daily Beast is a garbage website with a lot

876
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: of garbage people writing for it. But now after Biden

877
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: has one it's all over now we're told, oh, yeah,

878
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't true. There was no Russian bounty

879
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: on Americans in Afghanistans. The Taliban would kill more of

880
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: our soldiers. Just a fabrication, folks, just a rumor that

881
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: they weaponized against Trump intellection season to defeat him. Journalism

882
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:49,919
Speaker 1: in this country is a laughable, laughable thing. Corporations are

883
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: starting to realize that it's not gonna be a good

884
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: idea to spit in the face a half the country.

885
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: Not in the long term. It's just the early stages

886
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: right now. But I do believe that we have reached

887
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: a turning point and it's going to take time. It's

888
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: going to take care for it. But we can push

889
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: back against them on the other side. And a big

890
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: part of this is going to be pushing back against

891
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: social media. And a way you can do that is

892
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: by denying social media and big tech the ability to

893
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: track you by your IP address. The best way to

894
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: do that is with a VPN. Let me explain what

895
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: a VPN is. It's a virtual private network. It's just

896
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: a way of saying that it's a computer program. Think

897
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: of it almost like anti virus. Back in the day.

898
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: But this is a computer program you download as an

899
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: app and you put it on your phone, and it

900
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: protects your smartphone and your laptops, all of your electronic

901
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: devices from IP tracking so that the big tech companies

902
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: don't know who you are, where you are. And it

903
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: also encrypts your data so that hackers and other thieves

904
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: online can't get access to your stuff. So this is

905
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: about privacy and security of your data. And all you

Speaker 1: court packing scheme that seems to have at least moved

920
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: a little bit down the field. Let's get Pedro in

921
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: the mix. Pedro man, thanks so much. Oh hey, Buck,

922
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: it's always going to be here. So I see this

923
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: and I say, I wonder, at what point, as we

924
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: have effectively an open border, we have what really is

925
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: looking more and more like a modern monetary theory philosophy

926
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: from the Bide administration. The Democrats about spending whatever money

927
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: they want, trillions and trillions of dollars. Everything is infrastructure.

928
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: They're redefining terms. They're taking a scorched earth approach on

929
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: so many things. They talk about elimiting the filibuster, and

930
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: now here we are being told, oh no, they're at

931
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: least taking seriously the idea of a straight up Supreme

932
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: Court packing scheme. When are we going to listen and

933
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: really pay attention to the fact that the other side,

934
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: for all their flaws, Pedro, they mean business, while Republicans

935
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: kind of wring their hands and say, well, where's the moderates? Right, No,

936
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. I think this is why I try

937
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: really hard to avoid complaining about double standards. Calling for

938
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: fairness and stability were so far beyond that in reality.

939
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, you keep hearing the GOP call for that

940
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: every single time the Democratic Party does exactly what they

941
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: said they were going to do. And it's funny because

942
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe that is actually shocking to the GOP people who

943
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: do what they say they're going to do, Because the

944
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: GOP's notorious for backpedaling on issues or finding ways to

945
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of self destruct. The Democratic Party does is too,

946
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: but they're a lot more serious and a lot more committed,

947
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: a lot more ideological, and much more determined to do

948
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: what they say they're going to do. And I think

949
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: the court packing thing illustrates the lengths to which that

950
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: party is willing to go to do what they want

951
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to reimagine the country. And I think that this makes

952
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: conservatives a little bit uncomfortable the idea of a willingness

953
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: to use power, but that's the world we live in.

954
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: No amount of good arguments and calls for civility things

955
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: like that that's not going to stop the Democratic Party.

956
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: In my view, only power checks power, and until the

957
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: GOP or someone figures this out, the Credit Party is

958
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: going to continue doing what it's doing. And I just

959
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: find it remarkable as well, Padro, that what I'll hear

960
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: from so many conservatives, including those who make a living

961
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: sharing their thoughts and the media is, Oh, they would

962
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: never do They would never do that. And you know,

963
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,439
Speaker 1: they would never really push for amnesty, they would never

964
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: really get rid of the filibuster, they would never pack

965
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: the court. I see you're saying, what makes you think

966
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: that what part of their approach, which is having the

967
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: entirety of the media and now corporate woke America on

968
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: their side, breaking norms, up ending institutions, bringing ridiculous impeachments

969
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: against the former president twice in one year? Like what

970
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: what part of their actions makes it seem like they

971
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: care about playing fair right? And I think the law

972
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: of non contradiction doesn't apply here because Conservatives will try

973
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: to catch Democrats contradicting themselves. You know, they held a

974
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: position five years and this year they're demming the GOP

975
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: for it or something like. That doesn't work. They don't

976
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: care that these kinds of rationalistic positions that their conservative movement,

977
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: the GOP thinks are going to protect them and save them,

978
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: they don't work. The Democratic parties is going to run

979
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: over you like they're doing now. It's I guess you

980
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: could say it's shameless in a way what they do,

981
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: but it means it works for them. And maybe one

982
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: reason why the GOP will always put itself in that

983
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: position where they're saying, well, you know, we didn't think

984
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: they were actually going to do what they do is

985
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 1: because ultimately the GOP will will compromise and kind of

986
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: take the moderate position of the Democratic Party from ten

987
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: minutes ago. So if the Democrats want to pack the

988
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Supreme Court with fifteen judges or thirteen judges, the Republican

989
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: Party will stand a ForwArt history and demand eleven instead

990
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: of thirteen. It's it's amazing that there is this tendency

991
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: that we see time and again on the right and

992
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: amongkans deservatives to think that just slowing down the Progressives

993
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, not even stopping them from their ultimate goal.

994
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: But just you know, we're we're telling the bank robbers

995
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: as they flee in the getaway car, no speeding please. Right, yeah, yes,

996
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. That is and that and that is

997
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: as far as the GOP is concerned, a win, I

998
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: mean like that, that's how they tell their constituents. And

999
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: I think you see this with Christy Nome and Assa Hutchinson.

1000
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Basically telling their constituents, Look, I know you voted for

1001
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: me to do what you want, but you have to

1002
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: take this loss because it's the it's the best thing

1003
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: you're going to get. And actually, I'm taking the very

1004
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: moderate position of allowing kids to you know, chemically castrate

1005
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: themselves or allowing men to compete in female sports, as

1006
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: long as we're taking the fiscally responsible position of not

1007
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: having the government subsidize that. We're speaking to my friend

1008
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Pedro Gonzalez, who's a senior writer in American Greatness. Make

1009
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: sure you check out his is that American Greatness dot

1010
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: com and Pedro. We've had a couple of of, you know,

1011
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: relatively prominent Republican politicians recently Christy Gnome of South Dakota

1012
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 1: and Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, who not only seemed to

1013
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: think that that you know, essentially abandoning what had been

1014
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: considered their their conservative values or conservative positions was okay,

1015
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: but then kept kept digging into this further as though, no,

1016
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: we're not smart enough to understand that they've actually sold out.

1017
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like that that used to work pretty well.

1018
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I think that might be right. I think that actually

1019
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: most everyday people have always been angry at the GOP,

1020
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: but I think the stakes just seemed so much higher now,

1021
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: And the position for a lot of Americans was the

1022
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: GOP is gutless and corrupt and craven, but they're the

1023
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,959
Speaker 1: lesser of two evils. That I think is starting to

1024
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: wear thin for a lot of people, because the lesser

1025
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: of two evils is actually not that much less evil anymore.

1026
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: And I think what's really remarkable is that both Hutchinson

1027
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: and Nome went on Tucker Carlson, doubled down on their positions,

1028
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: like you said, expecting their constituents to be stupid, basically,

1029
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: and then subsequently committed suicide on live television, and then

1030
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,919
Speaker 1: continued doubling down on their positions. No went so far

1031
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: as saying that she's the victim of conservative cancel culture,

1032
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: which is another way of saying, my constituents are holding

1033
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: me accountable and I don't like it because I'm not

1034
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: used to it. It was remarkable. I mean, the the

1035
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: Hutchinson interview in particular was political. It wasn't even self flagellation.

1036
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: It was self immolation. I mean it was just this

1037
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: guy sit there saying, you know, yeah, you know, I

1038
01:06:58,400 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: just you know, we're not going to get in there,

1039
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: not going to get between twelve year olds and their

1040
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: doctors when they want to be chemically castrated or have

1041
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: their their sex organs removed. It's like, yeah, you're you're

1042
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: not going to get in the way of that. Why

1043
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: because we want to expand the big tent. According to Hutchinson,

1044
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: it is just and it's it's difficult to know what

1045
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: he's really thinking. Do you really believe this or are

1046
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: you just saying this because it's in your interest because

1047
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: you've got donors and you're afraid of the Chamber of

1048
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Commerce and the NC double Way or whatever. But it's

1049
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: it's ultimately irrelevant. The outcome is the same. We are

1050
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: better off or sorry, we are worse off. Our children

1051
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: are worse off because of people like Hutchinson. And no,

1052
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I want to ask you to tell me

1053
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: about something that I don't think is getting a lot

1054
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: of attention right now. But the America First Policy Institute.

1055
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: You know what, I know that you keep it real, Pedro.

1056
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: It's one of the things I like about your work.

1057
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: This sound sounds great, right, America First Policy Institute. It's like, hey,

1058
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: do you want to go root for you know, Team

1059
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: America and defeat all the commies. You must love this, right,

1060
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: what's the truth of the America First Policy Institute? So far?

1061
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: So all of the very worst people in the Trump

1062
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: administration that I think most of your listeners would agree

1063
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,680
Speaker 1: are bad, like Jared Kushner and so many of his

1064
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: proxies like Brook Rowlands, who is really just a kind

1065
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: of empty vessel for coke industries. Which means that Brook

1066
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: Rollins and Kushner and their cadrea within the White House,

1067
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: they were the ones that were pushing things like criminal

1068
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: justice reform. They were the ones that told Trump to

1069
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: stand down while cities were being burned to the ground

1070
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: by Black Lives Matter agitators. Tucker Carlson did a segment

1071
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: on this. He named specifically Brook Rollins and Jared Smith

1072
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: and Jared Kushner. All three of those people are involved

1073
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: in the America First Policy Institute. And so basically, you

1074
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: took the worst people in the White House that everyone

1075
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: can agree we're just bad, and now they're the ones

1076
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: leading the largest post administration Trump think tank. And if

1077
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: you look at the roster of who's involved, it's incredible.

1078
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: There's another organization called gen Z gen Z's GOP and

1079
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: they arose specifically to counter Trump and Trump is m

1080
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: who they view as authoritarian and xenophobic and racist and

1081
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And the America First Policy Institute actually recruited.

1082
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: One of these people's name is Javon Prince, and now

1083
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,799
Speaker 1: he's a policy analyst at the America First Policy Institute.

1084
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: So it's not just that you have the worst people

1085
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 1: from the White House doing this. You also have people

1086
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: that actually resented the Trump Agenda, the mandate of twenty sixteen,

1087
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: and by extension, Trump supporters who are now policy analysts

1088
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: at the America First Policy Institute. And so I think

1089
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: it's important to get beyond the name America First and

1090
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: see that this is this is extremely misleading, and that

1091
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: everyone should know that if you give money or attention

1092
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: or time to this, to this institute, it's you might

1093
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: as well burn it, because it's not going to go

1094
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:19,839
Speaker 1: toward what you think it's going. It feels like Pedro.

1095
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: There's just there are there are more people right now

1096
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: on the right who seek to turn you mentioned America First,

1097
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 1: for example, but to seek to turn it into not

1098
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:35,520
Speaker 1: only just a brand that's highly transferable for commercial purposes,

1099
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: but really into a kind of grift. I mean, this

1100
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: is the country is heading in the wrong direction in

1101
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. I mean, the border is the

1102
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: biggest mess it has ever been. I mean I've talked

1103
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: now to the people who have been working either for

1104
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: border patrol or ice or going back on this issue

1105
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: for for years, for decades. They said, this is the

1106
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: worst it has ever been right now. And that's just

1107
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: one of many problems that are they are unfolding right

1108
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: now for us. And yet where's our hashtag resistance? You know,

1109
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: it's frestrated to me to see that. You say what

1110
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 1: you about the left, they had the machinery of anti

1111
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: Trumpism in place literally the day after the election. There

1112
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: were marches and protests and riots, and you know, the

1113
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: whole media, and I know that they control some of

1114
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: these institutions, but it feels to me like we never

1115
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: learned that we need the machinery on our side that

1116
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: we can gather together to oppose the Biden agenda. Because

1117
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: this agenda is real, folks, this is this is not

1118
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: an administration we can just sort of batten down the

1119
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: hatches and ignore and hope everything's okay in four years, Right, no,

1120
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. And I think again, this is something

1121
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: that makes conservatives uncomfortable, but it's true and they should

1122
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: hear it. What we call cancel culture, which is a

1123
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: kind of just a way of holding people accountable. I

1124
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: think conservatives have a misunderstanding of it in that will

1125
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: make fun of the left for eating each other alive,

1126
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: and they do do that. It is amusing when that happens.

1127
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: But the conservative movement has the opposite problem. We're obsessed

1128
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: with this idea of the big tent and what that

1129
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,759
Speaker 1: really what really happens in practices, is that we invite

1130
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: people into the big tent that we shouldn't invite because

1131
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,480
Speaker 1: they're either opposed to us or they're totally unserious grifters.

1132
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: And it just so happens that those kinds of people

1133
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: are the ones that will end up taking over the show,

1134
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: and they're the ones that will end up in the

1135
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: limelight and then pushing you out. And I think that

1136
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: conservatives have this problem where they don't cancel people that

1137
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: they should cancel enough, and I think that that is

1138
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: something to consider going forward, is we really need to

1139
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 1: have more what you could call movement discipline to avoid

1140
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: these people because this is kind of the paradox the

1141
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: grifters and the subversives you want to call them that,

1142
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: they're usually really ambitious, so naturally they're going to be

1143
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: the ones that will, through charisma or through connections, end

1144
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: up hijacking movements and then turning them against you and

1145
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 1: then framing you as organizations like gen z GP and

1146
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: Brooke Rowlands do you're the one that's behind the times,

1147
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: like there's something wrong with you, And that's the position

1148
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: that we so often find ourselves in. Pedro Gonzalez, everybody

1149
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: check out his ladies, that American greatness dot com. Pedro

1150
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: always a pleasure man. Talk to you soon. Thank you.

1151
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: He halted construction of the border wall, and he rescinded

1152
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: a Trump administration order that called for the government to

1153
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 1: faithfully execute our immigration laws, including removals for visa overstays

1154
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: and limiting funding to sanctuary cities, all on his first day,

1155
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: mister President. And that's not all. The presence Department of

1156
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: Homeland Security also issued guidelines that same day pausing deportations

1157
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 1: accept under certain conditions, Miss President. The effect of President

1158
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: Biden's actions was to declare to the world that the

1159
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: United States borders are effectively open. That may or may

1160
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:15,480
Speaker 1: not have been what President Biden and his administration intended,

1161
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: but it certainly has been the effect. The message received

1162
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 1: by prospective migrants has been, if you can make it,

1163
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 1: If you can make it to the US border and

1164
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:32,520
Speaker 1: claim asylum, whether legitimate or not, even if you illegally

1165
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 1: cross the border, you're in. Senator Thune is absolutely correct,

1166
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: and this is why the border situation continues to be

1167
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:47,759
Speaker 1: such an abject mess and a disaster. It's a disaster

1168
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: not only in the sense that you have people in

1169
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: very crowded conditions, spreading COVID and overwhelming facilities, and the

1170
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: whole thing is straining or resources, costing hundreds of millions

1171
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. There's that aspect of it, But then

1172
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: there's also the we don't have border security friends. Oh,

1173
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: and who's supposed to be in charge of restoring national

1174
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: sovereignty and control of our border. Who's going to be

1175
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: in charge of that? Yeah, Kamala Harris. We are told

1176
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: here is White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on that

1177
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: play five. Vice President Harris just said that her first

1178
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: trip abroad, and it looks like it's going to be

1179
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: in Mexico and Guatemala, but she suggested she won't be

1180
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: visiting the order, and so I'm wondering, first off, if

1181
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,719
Speaker 1: the president is considering a trip to the order, and

1182
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: the second play, it's not important for one of you know,

1183
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: the president's main sort of people that he's tasking dealing

1184
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: with this to visit the Order. Well, what the presidents

1185
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: asked the vice president to do is run point on

1186
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: the Northern Triangle and be a high level conduit in

1187
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: having discussions with leaders in the region. That's exactly what

1188
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: she is doing and we'll do when she goes and

1189
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: visits countries in the region. And obviously she's had discussions

1190
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 1: that I've been read out as well with some leaders

1191
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: in the region. Secretary of Homeland Security has visited the border.

1192
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: Our secretary, other secretaries who run points on these issues

1193
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: will and we expect will in the future. I don't

1194
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: have any visits to preview for you of the presidents,

1195
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: but his focus is on solution. What a mess. Yeah,

1196
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: she can't get down she's the borders are can't get

1197
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: down to the border though, more important stuff to do. Okay,

1198
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Harsani time, our friend David Harsani from National Review joining

1199
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: us with all the latest news of the day, including

1200
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: a story he's written about all National Review dot com.

1201
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: There is absolutely no evidence that Kristin Clark's racist letter

1202
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: was satire. You've got to hear about this one, David.

1203
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 1: Great to have you, always a pleasure. Thanks for having so.

1204
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: First talk, Tell everybody who Kristen Clark is. She is

1205
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 1: Biden's nominee for Assistant Attorney General to run the Civil

1206
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: Rights Division. I get the exact name, which you know,

1207
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: prosecutes civil rights crimes and things like that for the

1208
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 1: United States government. And this is an important role. The

1209
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: Civil Rights Division on the DOJ, I will say, stretching

1210
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: back for many years, including under Republican administrations, is known

1211
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: to be a place where careers civil servants within the

1212
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: DOJ get get a lot of activism going on with

1213
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: left wing causes. Just for all those listening, this tends

1214
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,719
Speaker 1: to be a place within the institution of the DOJ

1215
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: where you have very progressive tendencies. But this goes well

1216
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: beyond anything like that. Kristen Clark was recently questioned about

1217
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 1: a letter to the editor she wrote for the Harvard

1218
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: Crimson when she was at Harvard and David, just tell

1219
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 1: some folks a little bit about this. So the letter is,

1220
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 1: and this from a long time ago, just everyone who

1221
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: said she was in college. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's in

1222
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: the mid nineties. I think it was ninety five or four.

1223
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: And you know, it's about the Bell Curve, was a

1224
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: big book that came out at the time. I don't

1225
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: really want to get too far into that she misrepresents

1226
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 1: what that books about, but I don't like arguing about

1227
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: that too much. But anyway, she she she lays on

1228
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 1: some kind of like pseudoscientific racist you know, blacks are

1229
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: superior because of chemicals, and there's you know, their skin

1230
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: color and things like that that were very popular around

1231
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,839
Speaker 1: that time. There were a bunch of professors Leonard Jeffrees,

1232
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if any how many people remember his name,

1233
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: but there were others Anthony Martin, and she lays this out.

1234
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, fast forward and someone finds this letter. I

1235
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: think it was a freebekend. You know, she's confronted by

1236
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: about it, and she says it was satire. And she

1237
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: was asked yesterday in front of the the Judicial Committee of

1238
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: Senate Judicial Committee about it, and she said it was

1239
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: satire and everyone mocked. Who was it who asked her

1240
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:03,600
Speaker 1: a senator or even believing momentarily or at all that

1241
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: you know this. You know, he's totally it's a total

1242
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: gotcha moment. He was sent corn right, so that this

1243
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: was a complete you know, he made a fool of

1244
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: himself because this was satire. But the problem with all

1245
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: of this is that it was not satire. There was

1246
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: no proof at all that that what she wrote with satire.

1247
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: In fact, there's tons of evidence to the contrary. Let

1248
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: me just give some I want to give the folks

1249
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: at home listening to this an idea of what So

1250
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: this is the the head of the dj Civil Rights

1251
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: Division under the Biden administration. Right now, that's what we're

1252
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,679
Speaker 1: talking about. She was at Harvard. And now we could

1253
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: all say, oh, it was long time ago, she was

1254
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: in college, whatever you girls say that, but let's remember that,

1255
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, Brett Kavanaugh's yearbook and bluefing was the subject

1256
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,919
Speaker 1: of serious Senate inquiry not long ago. So but anyway,

1257
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: this is what this is what she wrote, and this

1258
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,080
Speaker 1: is the quote in response to those who defend a

1259
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: bell curve and by the way, this does not have

1260
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: oh yeah, in response to those who defend the Bell curve.

1261
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: Please use the following theories and observations to assist you

1262
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 1: in your search for truth regarding the genetic differences between

1263
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: blacks and whites. I'm quoting here, folks, Okay, this is

1264
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: from the Harvard Crimson website. Nineteen ninety four October twenty eighth. One.

1265
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 1: Doctor Richard King reveals that at the core of the

1266
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: human brain is the locus coriulius, which is a structure

1267
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: that is black because it contains large amounts of neuro melanin,

1268
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: which is essential for its operation. Two Black infants sit, stand, crawl,

1269
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: and walk sooner than whites. Three. Carol Barnes notes that

1270
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 1: human mental processes are controlled by melanin, that same chemical

1271
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: which gives blacks their superior physical and mental abilities. Four.

1272
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Some scientists have revealed that most whites are unable to

1273
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: produce melanin because their penneal glands are often calcification or

1274
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:02,799
Speaker 1: nonfunctioning pineal asification. Rites with Africans are five to fifteen percent,

1275
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: with Europeans at sixty to eighty percent. This is the

1276
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: chemical basis for the cultural differences between blacks and whites.

1277
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 1: We can readily admit. She writes that an abused child

1278
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: is less likely to achieve academically than a child that

1279
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: has grown up in a supportive atmosphere. Black children, whether

1280
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:19,680
Speaker 1: rich or poor, grow up with an added abuse with

1281
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: white children never have to face, etc. Etc. In addition,

1282
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: it is completely naive to say that blacks have achieved

1283
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: economic equality with whites. It's just ridiculous. Black people are

1284
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: not asking for political correctness, but truthfulness, fairness, and an

1285
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: end of this abuse. Signed Kristen Clark, President of the

1286
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: Black Students Association. In what way is that sad? I

1287
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: mean I cut a little bit of it out because

1288
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to keep people too long. But David, I mean,

1289
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: in what way is that satire? No, it's not at all.

1290
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. She also invited. Anthony Martineau was

1291
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: a weird a quack like who basically spread what she

1292
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 1: wrote in that letter. I forgot where he taught, but anyway,

1293
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: he used to speak to the colleges in the nineties.

1294
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a bit older than you and I

1295
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: remember these people, and you know, why would she do that?

1296
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: If she didn't if this letter was satire, then there

1297
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 1: are subsequent letters in which does not typically published satire

1298
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: at all from you know, the editorial board staff of

1299
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: the Crimson Saints. She should retract it that they couldn't

1300
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: find might not be quoting exactly, but they couldn't find

1301
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,679
Speaker 1: a hint of sarcasm or satire in it, and others

1302
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 1: as well. So I just I'm going to say this, Listen,

1303
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: she was young when she did this, and we all

1304
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 1: believed dumb things when we're young. However, if any kind

1305
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: of Republican, Donald Trump or any other Republican nominated someone

1306
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: who had David or someone like that speak at of

1307
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: college their career, they would never in a million years

1308
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,600
Speaker 1: be nominated to begin with. But they never in a

1309
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: million years make it through and sit overseeing anything in

1310
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: the US government. I know that for sure. And more

1311
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: than that, she when in her of Commerce and lied, right,

1312
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what she did when she said this

1313
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: was satire. It is not satire anyway. So there's multiple levels.

1314
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, there's multiple levels here in which

1315
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: it's a problem. And we're speaking to David Harsani everybody

1316
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: of National Review. I mean, David, to your first point,

1317
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: she's she's she's asserting what would what would accurately be

1318
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: described in this. Granted she's in college, she's young, but

1319
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: you know she is an adult when she's writing this.

1320
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: She's asserting what would be described accurately as as a

1321
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: black supremacist ideology. That's a fair description of what that black,

1322
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: that they are inherent and innate superior traits of people

1323
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 1: who are black over all other races. By the way,

1324
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: so that's in this. That's not like the normal level

1325
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: of wrong, you know, bad thinking that people have in college.

1326
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:52,560
Speaker 1: This is some other one. But put that aside for

1327
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: a second. Just point this out beyond that. She's lied,

1328
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 1: as you say before Congress, and now we have to

1329
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: sit around and listen to people in the media go

1330
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 1: ha ha ha. You don't get that it's satire, as

1331
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: if we're all morons. Yeah, yeah, it's it's gas lighting, right.

1332
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I asked some of the reporters who said

1333
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: it was satire to to provide evidence for me, contemporaneous

1334
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: evidence of it being satire. Happily correct the record if

1335
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,560
Speaker 1: that were so. But there is literally not any inkling

1336
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 1: within the text or in any other way that it

1337
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: was satire. She you just read that letter. She mentions

1338
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: two specific experts. Does that sound like satire to you.

1339
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 1: I mean, she's she's she's citing experts, supposed experts on

1340
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: this issue. Um, so it's a joke. I'm listening. I like,

1341
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: as you mentioned as well before, there's going to be

1342
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: some nut in that position no matter how you slice it.

1343
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: And that's fine. But you know, I don't somehow, you know,

1344
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: being lied to in this way and gaslighting people in

1345
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: this way and just journalistically, uh you know, having no

1346
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: ethics in this I think that's a big problem for us.

1347
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: So it needs to be pointed out. Yeah, I just

1348
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: refuse to just go along with these lies because people

1349
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,679
Speaker 1: keep compeating them over and over again. And I think

1350
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: that I'm always reminded of the souls and eats and lecture.

1351
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 1: Actually at Harvard lived not by lies, where the basis

1352
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: of the Soviet tyranny in so many ways was just

1353
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: you were constantly forced to accept things you knew not

1354
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: to be true, and not just to accept them, but

1355
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: to celebrate them, to espouse them. And everything was lied

1356
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,839
Speaker 1: about all the time, and that was really the basis

1357
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: of the Soviet tyranny. I'm not saying America's in a

1358
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: tyranny right now. You know, you know, it's still a

1359
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: good country and everything, but we have had some really

1360
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: tyrannical impulses on display over the last year, and a

1361
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: lot of it is rooted in lies. Yeah, no, I

1362
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 1: mean everything you said there's right, and you know the

1363
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: thing is I mean, as you also mentioned, I mean,

1364
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: this is not some kind of normal nuttiness, like you're

1365
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: a crazy libertarian and you want to smoke pot or

1366
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: big build you know, make hemp rope or something you're

1367
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,440
Speaker 1: this is she's the president of the Black Students Association,

1368
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: and these people that she's inviting, by the way, were

1369
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: huge anti Semites. And this was in the middle of

1370
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: a time where there were riots and deaths in New

1371
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: York over this sort of thing, and it was it

1372
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: was a pretty ugly time and new riots in LA

1373
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: and elsewhere where. She was saying this sort of stuff.

1374
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe she should have to answer as

1375
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 1: to how she changed her mind. She should say, listen,

1376
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I was young and it was stupid. I believe some

1377
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 1: terrible things and now you know this and that. But

1378
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 1: of course she's a big fan of the Women's March

1379
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: people too, who are facing knights, and you know, so

1380
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty skeptic. I always remember right now too. I

1381
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: always remember, David, you know, when I was at Amorous

1382
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: Justice Scalia came to speak and there were all these

1383
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: protests and people wearing black armbands and stood up and

1384
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: turned their backs to them and all this stuff. And

1385
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: it was, you know, some years before I was there,

1386
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: But just down the road at University of Massachusetts, Lewis

1387
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: Farakon was invited to speak. You know, it's like that,

1388
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: that's just this was even before college just got as

1389
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: crazy as they are right now. But I you mentioned

1390
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: the journalistic malpractice thing. We just got a couple of minutes.

1391
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: But I wanted to hit on this because as soon

1392
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: as that story came out during the right in the

1393
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: middle of the presidential campaign, that there were bounties being

1394
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: put on American soldiers by Russians to the Taliban, So essentially,

1395
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: the Russians are paying Taliban to kill Americans. I said,

1396
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 1: this story doesn't make sense. I don't believe it. It's

1397
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: not there's this just it doesn't add up the Talimans

1398
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: trying to kill Americans all the time. Russians don't need

1399
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 1: to pay the Taliban to kill him. The whole thing

1400
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 1: was idiotic. But now they've basically retracted it right now,

1401
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: they've said, well, it turns out we actually probably shouldn't

1402
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 1: have run that story. But David, it was more than

1403
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: just a news store, wasn't it. Yeah, I mean it

1404
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: was in the middle. If you're remember of when there

1405
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: was a there were a slew of stories about how

1406
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: Donald Trump hates the troops, and you know, in the

1407
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: Atlantic and elsewhere, you know, thinly sourced, and I don't

1408
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: even know if there are any sources. Frankly, how do

1409
01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,759
Speaker 1: I know, because they never ever, you know, put sources

1410
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,880
Speaker 1: on the record, and you know, so as part of

1411
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: that whole thing. But honestly, as you know, it's been

1412
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: part of five years of slew and of stories that

1413
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: are the stereo that mislead Americans about the veracity of

1414
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:19,600
Speaker 1: their elections and the veracity of the president's patriotism and

1415
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: things like that that were planted by intelligence people and

1416
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: spread by a compliant media. And it's unprecedented and it

1417
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,920
Speaker 1: was truly a disaster I think, in many ways for

1418
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: the United States. So you know, this is just one

1419
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 1: of many, and David, I just I feel like there

1420
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: has been even if it's not admitted a real shift

1421
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: in the mentality of your run of the mill, your

1422
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: your standard journalists working for a news publication these days,

1423
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: where it really is about getting a result, and the

1424
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: result is not the provision, is not providing truth and

1425
01:28:57,240 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: context for people to make their own That that we've

1426
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: we've seen a shift, a true shift in the ethics

1427
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 1: where they're not even they don't even feel the need

1428
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: to pretend anymore. They're they're out to get the other side,

1429
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. I mean, if they cared, We'll put

1430
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: it this way, they are biased journalists and they are

1431
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: the good ones now, and that there are corrupt journalists

1432
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,559
Speaker 1: who do this kind of thing, and if they weren't,

1433
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: then they would burn any source who set them up

1434
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: with a lie like this, but happens over and over again.

1435
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: And if the institutions cared, people would have there would

1436
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: be repercussions for spreading this sort of thing. This is

1437
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: this is a dangerous story to spread. Russia has nuclear weapons, right,

1438
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 1: You're talking about world power, and you're spreading stories about

1439
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: them Americans, So I mean, this is sort of dangerous

1440
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:47,640
Speaker 1: stuff to be doing. And I'm not defending Russia. I

1441
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: think Russia are you know, I think they're bad guys

1442
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: over there, but you know, it's still we have to

1443
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 1: deal with them and live in a truthful world in

1444
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: some extent. In essence, you know, they were doing they're

1445
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,679
Speaker 1: doing exactly what they were saying the Russians were doing

1446
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: to us, and they were doing it over and over

1447
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 1: and over again. David Arson everybody National Review dot com

1448
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 1: for his latest David, always your pleasure. We'll talk to

1449
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: you soon. Thank you. I'm disappointed that there's this significant

1450
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: amount of hesitancy, but I agree with you, Whoopie. The

1451
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: reason that people are getting vaccinated and still need to

1452
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: be so causcious is because of the growing number of

1453
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: white male Republicans that continue not to want to wear

1454
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: their mask, that continue not want to get vaccinated because

1455
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,600
Speaker 1: they consider it some sort of freedom ride. And it

1456
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 1: just doesn't really make sense. And I think people like

1457
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson are being very irresponsible by sending out this messaging.

1458
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: By sending out the messaging I think he sent out

1459
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 1: yesterday that maybe the vaccines just don't work. That is irresponsible,

1460
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: it's misinformation, and it's causing I think, in the long run,

1461
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,799
Speaker 1: people to die. People need to be more concerned about

1462
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:59,600
Speaker 1: the virus. More scared of this virus than the vaccine.

1463
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 1: This has been This has been the game all along

1464
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 1: from the lockdowners. Do what I say. Agree with everything

1465
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: that we tell you to do, no matter how stupid

1466
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 1: it is, no matter how completely absurd it is. Mask

1467
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 1: up between bites, wear that mask outside social distance thing,

1468
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: but a social distance or now they're calling it physical distancing.

1469
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 1: Sometimes this is just a pseudo scientific way of telling

1470
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: people avoid other human beings. Does does that sound like

1471
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: a really? Does that sound like a real virus, you know,

1472
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: virus beating strategy. Just avoid other people for a year,

1473
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 1: don't be around other human being, family members, anyone. Don't

1474
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 1: be around anyone for a year. That's really what this

1475
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: comes down to. You could say, oh, but they just mean,

1476
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, because no, they told you not to see

1477
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: family at Thanksgiving. That you know they're they're telling you

1478
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:54,600
Speaker 1: stay away from humans. And then that's supposed to be

1479
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: great scientific advice. It makes a lot of sense. Tucker

1480
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: didn't say the vaccines don't work there. This is Sonny hosta,

1481
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 1: but she's a fraud and it's the intellectual level in

1482
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 1: general on the show. The view is honestly Jerry Springer

1483
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: was a show that brought together, you know, a higher

1484
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 1: level of discourse than what you often see on the

1485
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 1: view guys. One of the Jerry Springer show back in

1486
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:20,640
Speaker 1: the day, that was actually that that was a real

1487
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: phenomenon for a while, people always fighting and tackling each other.

1488
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,719
Speaker 1: That show was crazy, oh man. And then you'd always

1489
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 1: edit with you know, take care of yourselves and each

1490
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 1: other or something like that. It's like, yeah, after you've

1491
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 1: showed us that you know, so and so impregnated so

1492
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 1: and so's brother who was married to the sister who's

1493
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 1: the cousin of the you know whatever. I mean, you know,

1494
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing was just such a mess that it was,

1495
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, take care of yourselves at each other. I

1496
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 1: always remember that with Jerry Springer. But anyway, Tucker did

1497
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,680
Speaker 1: not say that the vaccines don't work, but he is.

1498
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 1: He's posing the question, if the vaccines work, and they

1499
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 1: seem to work very well, why are we all still

1500
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 1: being told that nothing changes? When does it change? Now?

1501
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Remember they'll concede that the so it's the vaccines work.

1502
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,520
Speaker 1: The vaccines work very well, but the vaccines don't work perfectly.

1503
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 1: To that, you go back to the argument, Okay, well,

1504
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:18,519
Speaker 1: they're never going to work perfectly. We all understand that.

1505
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: So if the vaccines work very very well and it's

1506
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: never going to be perfect, they'll always be some risk,

1507
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: There'll always be some people will still get sick, and

1508
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 1: there'll always be some covid endemic in the population. Why

1509
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 1: can't vaccinated people just live their lives? Because you see,

1510
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 1: if you take this to its logical conclusion, you get

1511
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 1: to a place where you realize, if you obey what

1512
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:45,879
Speaker 1: the faucciotes are telling you, there is a clear pathway

1513
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,559
Speaker 1: for them to make you deal with this, to make

1514
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 1: this something that is a problem forever. You never actually

1515
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,040
Speaker 1: get to put that mask away. You know, we have

1516
01:33:57,120 --> 01:34:02,680
Speaker 1: to finally tell them enough, you're irrash, channel hysteria about

1517
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:07,680
Speaker 1: minute about you know, low risk situations and possibilities is

1518
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: not allowed to infringe upon the most most basic rights.

1519
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: We have the right to breathe fresh air, folks, That's

1520
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:20,519
Speaker 1: what's actually at stake here. But I'm a view you know,

1521
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 1: just just keep worshiping fauci like the people who are

1522
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:32,519
Speaker 1: just unable to think for themselves on this stuff. Set

01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: just working for the summer, right, Yeah, I think so,

1531
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 1: it's probably true. What's going on? A producer? Mark, Will

1532
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 1: you got anything to tell the folks, the fans, the

1533
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: listeners all across America? No, I'm very boring. I don't

1534
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: really do much. I don't. I feel like no one

1535
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 1: really does much these days. I feel like we're all

1536
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 1: just being constantly anesthetized by the abundance of delicious food,

1537
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:25,640
Speaker 1: electric entertainment, you know, electronic entertainment options, and you know,

1538
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: very comfortable ath leisure. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,

1539
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: all I do is wear sweatpants and watch a lot

1540
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: of TV nowadays. Yeah, it's just not really a lot

1541
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: of exciting stuff. I'm okay with the sweatpants, but I

1542
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 1: wish I would do more stuff. I gotta tell you,

1543
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm I think I need to just give away like

1544
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: half of my suits because I just I don't think

1545
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm going back to being a suit guy. You know,

1546
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. It's just as suit as

1547
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,640
Speaker 1: I've always said this, suits are not comfortable. No, I

1548
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: don't care. You know, if you have it made to

1549
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:59,000
Speaker 1: measure and its suits are just not that comfortable. You're

1550
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna walk around with a with a suit jacket on.

1551
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 1: That's that's not fun. You know, that's not good. I

1552
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 1: have walked around many hockey and basketball arenas with full

1553
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:12,640
Speaker 1: suits on, and it was never pleasant. Yeah, you're like,

1554
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,800
Speaker 1: what am I doing with this? We'd all be better off.

1555
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,600
Speaker 1: And this is this is a big change in the

1556
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 1: same way that people are realizing that all along, a

1557
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 1: lot of us could have been doing our work from

1558
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:24,519
Speaker 1: home and not just getting all sweaty. I mean, for

1559
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 1: those who've never experienced this, there's something particularly humbling about

1560
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: being a person who has to get on the New

1561
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:36,560
Speaker 1: York City subway in the middle of July, because you

1562
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: will stand on a crowded subway platform on the way

1563
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: into your office and you will just sweat through whatever

1564
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 1: you're wearing. I mean, it's like being in a sauna.

1565
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,639
Speaker 1: And then you get to get on the subway car

1566
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:53,040
Speaker 1: where the air conditioning is turned all the way up,

1567
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 1: and then you're like freezing. You practically have you know,

1568
01:36:56,400 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: icicles coming off your nose. And then you get so

1569
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,639
Speaker 1: after after sort of getting you know, sweaty and damp

1570
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 1: on the subway platform because the subway itself is not

1571
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 1: air conditioned, I mean the subway uh you know area. Uh,

1572
01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: then you get to get like wet and cold on

1573
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,879
Speaker 1: the subway train. And then you go into your office,

1574
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 1: which is probably also very air conditioned, and you sit

1575
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 1: there and you just feel like a damp, cold, swamp body.

1576
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: And then you got to sit there for eight hours,

1577
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Of course, I can

1578
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:32,320
Speaker 1: still like in my brain when I think about it,

1579
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: smell a hot subway station. Yeah, that there's a certain smell.

1580
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 1: You can't describe it, but whenever you experience it, you

1581
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,639
Speaker 1: know it. There's a very is a very unique essence

1582
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 1: to the New York City subway smell mid July. It's

1583
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of a mixture of old old pizza cartons, rat feces,

1584
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:55,519
Speaker 1: and human urine all in this this wonderful brew. You know.

1585
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: That's that's what you got subway station below our building,

1586
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: and we had a building in Manhattan, our work office.

1587
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:07,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh yeah, disgusting. Yeah yeah. So I

1588
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,479
Speaker 1: don't know. I wonder what people are gonna want to

1589
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: go back to in life and what they're gonna say. Man,

1590
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something, you know, crowded bars, crowded restaurants.

1591
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 1: M I don't know. I don't know how much I

1592
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:21,160
Speaker 1: really I was thinking I would, I would want to

1593
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: go to a crowded bar, just be around people and stuff.

1594
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 1: But I realized, nah, man, I don't need it. I

1595
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 1: don't need it. You get amazing, at least in a

1596
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: city like New York, and I know there's a lot

1597
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: of places like this cross the country. You get amazing

1598
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 1: food delivered, you know, and you get to be your

1599
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 1: own home. The same reason why I don't look, I've

1600
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 1: I've changed a lot of these behaviors over over time.

1601
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm not a movie guy going I should say, going

1602
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: to the movies guy anymore. I just won't do it.

1603
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 1: It's expensive, it requires effort. I have a I don't know,

1604
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 1: fifty five inch flat screen TV. I've got an incredibly

1605
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 1: comfortable couch that we call old gray because it's old

1606
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 1: and gray. So that makes sense. And you know, I

1607
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:05,879
Speaker 1: can I got my fridge, I got my own restroom,

1608
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 1: I can press pause, I can take a phone call

1609
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 1: if I have to, you know. And so I just

1610
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:13,600
Speaker 1: feel like these behaviors are shifting, and I wonder what

1611
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:15,760
Speaker 1: behaviors are going to continue, Like, Mark, what do you

1612
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 1: think you're going to keep doing that's a change from

1613
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,559
Speaker 1: the pandemic that you're gonna keep going forward with even

1614
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 1: let's say this time next year. I'd say for like

1615
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:29,759
Speaker 1: social settings, Now, me and my friend group, we prefer

1616
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: hanging out in each other's homes. Like I don't care

1617
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 1: how many people are in it, but rather than going

1618
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: to a bar or going out to dinner or doing

1619
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,800
Speaker 1: all that, just because why would I pay all this

1620
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:42,759
Speaker 1: extra money for food when we can have food delivered

1621
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 1: to make our own food and get our own booze

1622
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, just group outings in your own home.

1623
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 1: That will be the thing that I want to stay from. COVID. Yeah,

1624
01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,600
Speaker 1: I think people have gotten very used to comfortable and

1625
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 1: controlled environments and it's tough to go back. I mean,

1626
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 1: I took the snow Princess out because she just got

1627
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 1: a great a great new job. And so she's in

1628
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:04,840
Speaker 1: business school and she's got a great new job and

1629
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of her, and which I took her

1630
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 1: out and it was kind of like a special occasion

1631
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: dinner place, and you know, they kind of messed up

1632
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: the food. The service was bad, the music was way

1633
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 1: too loud. You know, we had some issues, and it

1634
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: was pricy. I mean, I feel like I got rinsed,

1635
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting here thinking I could I could have

1636
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: actually ordered steaks for my favorite steakhouse in all of

1637
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 1: New York and just had them delivered to my apartment

1638
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: and had a perfectly quiet, nice even just you know,

1639
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: it's so this. I think this is gonna change for

1640
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: some folks. I know, we have a lot of audience

1641
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 1: that you know, lives in the suburbs or lives in

1642
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 1: rural areas, and so that's not really but if you

1643
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 1: live in a city, I mean, I don't know, I've

1644
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: kind of gotten used to not being crammed in a

1645
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: subway car full of I've gotten used to not being

1646
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,360
Speaker 1: around people I don't really want to be around, you

1647
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think it's gonna be tough

1648
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 1: to go back. Yeah. I don't want to be a

1649
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: shoulder a shoulder with strangers anytime soon. And it has

1650
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 1: nothing to do with COVID, just unenjoyable. Yeah. I mean, look,

1651
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, at some point in the subway,

1652
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: you're just you're going butt to butt. I don't know

1653
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: how else to say it. You're gonna your butt is

1654
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna be pushed up against some random some random guy

1655
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 1: or gals. But because you're squashed in like sardines, and

1656
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 1: that's the way it's gonna be. But that's the one

1657
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:22,880
Speaker 1: that's crammed against something somebody else. Wait, what, you're lucky

1658
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 1: if it's just your butt that's cram Oh yeah, We'll

1659
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 1: just saying you get squashed in on all sides. But yeah,

1660
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:28,719
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need to be butt to butt

1661
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 1: with strangers. You know, I want to. I want someone to,

1662
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, take me out to dinner in a movie

1663
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:33,960
Speaker 1: before we go butt the butt, you know what I mean.

1664
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 1: It's not we don't need that. So just saying, all right, Dan,

1667
01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: the snow Princess struck a nerve with me. Seems like

1668
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: the kids today are inundated with very racy content like

1669
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: that sexy killer Babysitter movie you described, or literally anything

1670
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: Cardi b does. We come from the same era the nineties,

1671
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 1: back then edgy content. Men Jesse Spano was hooked on

1672
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: caffeine pills, or Uncle Phil and Will were thrown in

1673
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: jail for being African American. It's strange to think the

1674
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: nineties were simpler time, but it was. I miss it.

1675
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 1: Where do we go from here? Dan, I think I

1676
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: missed the nineties a lot. I missed the nineties culturally.

1677
01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:22,840
Speaker 1: I think it was you know, I just think it

1678
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: was a better time in a lot of ways. I

1679
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 1: think the my my belief is that the absolute peak

1680
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: of technology for for life to be convenient, but you

1681
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 1: just still have some privacy. The absolute peak was like

1682
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: late nine, like ninety nine, two thousand, when everybody could

1683
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 1: have a cell phone, because that is really nice, that

1684
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:47,880
Speaker 1: is really you know, convenient and helpful. But we didn't

1685
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 1: have smartphones and we it was just it was just

1686
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: a better time, man. I don't know, I missed I

1687
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 1: missed the music of the nineties. I gotta tell you know,

1688
01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:01,160
Speaker 1: Prouser Mark. I've I've just complained Producer Mark everybody that

1689
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 1: I've been going to the gym pretty consistently. Now, I mean,

1690
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm very today, I'm like very, I've got doms which

1691
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:10,640
Speaker 1: is delayed onset muscle soreness because I'm actually going to

1692
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:13,839
Speaker 1: the gym pretty hard, pretty consistently, and I've been eating

1693
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:17,320
Speaker 1: a little bit cleaner, which is really a bummer. And

1694
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here like, well, I don't know. I

1695
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:21,600
Speaker 1: can either just sort of wear sweats and be a

1696
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:24,639
Speaker 1: cuddly radio host and eat all the cookies and pad

1697
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: tie I want, or I can go to the gym

1698
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: and and you know, eat small the worst. And the

1699
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 1: thing for me is really, honestly, it's not even the

1700
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:36,559
Speaker 1: food choice, it's just smaller portions. That's really that I've

1701
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: learned that this is if you're really going to do

1702
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: this and try to cut it's smaller portion. Because I mean,

1703
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,640
Speaker 1: you can sit there, you can have Penala vodka. You

1704
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: just have you know, whatever it is, you know, six

1705
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: ounces of it or something. But I don't want six ounces,

1706
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, I want like fourteen ounces of Penala vodka. Yeah,

1707
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:55,600
Speaker 1: of course, if you're eating Penela vodka. What are you

1708
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 1: eating six ounces of? Let mean, you know what I'm saying,

1709
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you eat? What do you bring me my Penala vodka?

1710
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,559
Speaker 1: Like a little little tiny salad bowl or something. No,

1711
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,439
Speaker 1: I wanted a big up play to basta. I want

1712
01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:07,280
Speaker 1: a pet a lavaca with a brachut though, and the

1713
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:09,080
Speaker 1: I want the whole you know, I want the whole thing.

1714
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 1: And anyway, but I was, I was in the gym,

1715
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think I've also recognized and this

1716
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 1: is something that always comes to me when I start

1717
01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: getting more consistent that lifting weights without music, I just

1718
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm just more focused. I do a better job without

1719
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,719
Speaker 1: blasting music. But I do need music for cardio because

1720
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm just punishing myself and I hate it. But so

1721
01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:29,640
Speaker 1: I was looking for music to listen to and I

1722
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 1: picked up some you know, I mean not nineties, of course,

1723
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: nineties would be amazing. I picked up some Top forty

1724
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, Top forty twenty twenty one, you know, playlist,

1725
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: and it was just garbage. It's just bad. And it's

1726
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: amazing how much music from the nineties is now being

1727
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,680
Speaker 1: recycled as some kind of a techno remix, which I

1728
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 1: think just goes to my theory that a lot of

1729
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 1: music today's just not very good. And I know people

1730
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 1: want to say, oh, it's just because things. No, I

1731
01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:01,799
Speaker 1: think it's just not very good. I don't think anyone's

1732
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna be listening to I'll tell you this. I don't

1733
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,479
Speaker 1: think anyone's gonna be listening to Ed Shearing in ten years.

1734
01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think your tongue. Yeah, I know, I'm

1735
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:13,759
Speaker 1: just saying, have you ever seen the old man yells

1736
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 1: at cloud meme? What as you? No? Probably is yeah,

1737
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm trying to think of some of

1738
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: the other I don't even know. There's this there's the

1739
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:26,640
Speaker 1: Dua Dua Lipa. I was I learned of this of

1740
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: the dua lipa artist I believe is that the name? Yes,

1741
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 1: she's big nowadays, Yeah, she's big nowaday. I just I

1742
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think this stuff is good. I

1743
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:36,320
Speaker 1: really don't. And I know it's like I'm having to

1744
01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: get off my lawn moment. But I'll agree with you

1745
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:40,680
Speaker 1: most of the new people, but like, give me Ed

1746
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 1: Sheeron and Taylor Swift at least, whose are the only

1747
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: two current artists I can think of that are fine, well,

1748
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: T Swift, I'll always have sort of a soft spot

1749
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: for but Ed Sheer okay, and Ed Shearon's actually a

1750
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: talented musician whatever, so that way, he wasn't really but

1751
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 1: he was in a bunch of these things. But I'm

1752
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:57,640
Speaker 1: talking to see. The thing is I was listening to

1753
01:45:57,720 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 1: Ed Sheer and techno remixes Mark because it's for workouts

1754
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:04,360
Speaker 1: and so that you're just like, uh, you know, I mean, look,

1755
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: Calvin Harris, Calvin Harris is it's good if you like

1756
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 1: if you like electronic music, but you know it's Calvin

1757
01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:14,600
Speaker 1: Harris is just the Paul Oakenfold of today. And you know,

1758
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 1: people from the nineties, you guys all remember Paul Oakenfold. Ready,

1759
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,560
Speaker 1: Steady go, and you all remember Paul Okenfold. Anyway, I

1760
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:23,639
Speaker 1: know I'm I haven't. We'll get off my long moment.

1761
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 1: But there's the The Sexy Killer Babysitter movie was just

1762
01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: so bad. But I'm telling you, the Sexy Killer Babysitter

1763
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 1: said He's Sexy Killer Baby Sitter movie on Netflix is

1764
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:43,759

01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 1: fish monster who wants to hold women and use them

1766

Speaker 1: to create more fish Monster. I mean, it's the worst

Speaker 1: But I read all of them. Yeah, he reads all them.

1783
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:40,559
Speaker 1: I read as many as I can get to Francis Buck,

1784
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm listening to an older podcast and you're speaking about

1785
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 1: United Airlines statement how in ten years fifty percent of

1786
01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 1: their pilots will be female and minority. The only way

1787
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,439
Speaker 1: that's going to happen is if they open their own

1788
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:56,719
Speaker 1: flight school and admit only females and minorities and probably

1789
01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 1: subsidize the cost as well. Flight training is very, very expensive,

1790
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: and they're just not enough females and minorities and the

1791
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 1: pilot training pool to come up in the ranks to

1792
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: qualify for the airlines. I wish there were, but there

1793
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: just aren't. At any given time, there's between five to

1794
01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: seven percent of the certificate of pilots in the United

1795
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 1: States who are female. I know you commented on the

1796
01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:21,200
Speaker 1: qualification part of this, but it's not just United Soul

1797
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 1: decision on what the qualifications are. The FAA and the

1798
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:29,799
Speaker 1: insurance company for the airlines are two of the loudest voices. Francis,

1799
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 1: you know a lot more about this than I do,

1800
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 1: so thank you for writing and telling us about it.

1801
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is this is the constant battle that

1802
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:40,679
Speaker 1: we see happening about this stuff. Is they tell us, oh,

1803
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 1: we won't lower standards, and then when the numbers don't

1804
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 1: add up and the way they want them to, they

1805
01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:51,800
Speaker 1: lower the standards. I mean it's like you can set

1806
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 1: your watch by it. I mean it's just like you said,

1807
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: an egg timer they say, oh, we'll never lower the standards,

1808
01:48:57,160 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: no way, and then they lower the standards. And this

1809
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:02,680
Speaker 1: is why when you're talking about things like, you know,

1810
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 1: surgeons in the oar, pilots for the airplanes. You know,

1811
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 1: we want the best people. I don't care. I don't

1812
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:20,680
Speaker 1: care what skin color, what gender, what you know, sexual orientation.

1813
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't care at all. I just want the person

1814
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 1: who's the most competent at the essential task of keeping

1815

Speaker 1: And hey, Buck, really enjoy your show. Sad this weekend

1818
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:45,120
Speaker 1: to see corporations like Target, Starbucks, LinkedIn, and United gathering

1819
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 1: to discuss limiting donations to political candidates who vote in

1820
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:54,320
Speaker 1: what the corporations designate as incorrect voter laws. Who's running

Speaker 1: the United States now, corporations or the people and they're

1822
01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: honestly elected legislative representatives. Corporations are considering restricting my voter

1823
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: rights by telling candidates how they must interpret voter rights

1824
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 1: and how they must craft voter laws in their states.

1825
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:13,640
Speaker 1: This is a shocking situation. Corporations are Corporations need to

1826
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:16,519

1827
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 1: elected representatives debate, vote and do things on behalf of us,

1828

Speaker 1: like established laws corporations, not MC laws for people honestly

1829
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: elected legislators do. I agree, and it's a bad situation.

1830
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 1: And it only stops when we take action and put

1831
01:50:31,080 --> 01:50:33,799
Speaker 1: our dollars where where our minds are on this stuff.

1832

1833
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,840
