1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to Clay Travis and Buck 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I can't say that I have left my 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: heart in San Francisco. I've only been there a couple 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: of times, I think once, twice twice. Maybe it is 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: a beautiful city. It was physically geographically a beautiful city. 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: It has some problems though, it has some missions right now, 8 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: you've probably seen the videos, and it is a democrat enclave. 9 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: It is really the distillation of lifestyle coastal liberalism in 10 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: one city, in one place, in some sense, the purest 11 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: democrat urban ecosystem you could find of the lifestyle liberal variety. 12 00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: So Nancy pelosiism reigned supreme supreme in San Francis. Go 13 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: and we see what's happened. It's gone from being a 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: place where we many of us think of Full House, 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: remember the show Full I grew up watching that show, 16 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. A watch Full House for many years. 17 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: And you know, they had this beautiful house which I 18 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: think now well, I don't know what it is now, 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: but at one point that was like a four million 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: dollar house that they were living in. You know, Danny 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: Tanner and John Stamos and Dave Coulier Coolier whatever they 22 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: were all living in together. Anyway, San Francisco was a 23 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: very safe city, culturally, vibrant, beautiful, a lot of good 24 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: things about it, right, a lot of great things about it, 25 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: and not anymore. Right, it's unfortunately gone in a direction 26 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: where people are leaving as fast as they reasonably can. 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: The city of San Francisco now faces a budget deficit 28 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: of seven hundred and twenty eight million dollars. That's a 29 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: big budget. You know, San Francisco is not that big 30 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: as a city. That's a big problem. And the bigger problem, 31 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: in a sense, isn't just the deficit, is that there's 32 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: no sign of this getting better. It relies largely on 33 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: property taxes to fund services. You could play this similar 34 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: scenario out in a lot of Democrat run cities across 35 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: the country. But the downtown offices are at about a 36 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: thirty percent vacancy. Twenty nine percent is the actual data 37 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: that I have in front of me here, so almost 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, call it a third of the downtown office 39 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: is empty in San Francisco. So they've got a lot 40 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: of problems. They've got a lot of issues right now, 41 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: and they're still going to keep spending a whole lot 42 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: of money, and they don't want to change their redistributive 43 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: mechanisms in place. The lifestyle liberalism slash Marxism is that 44 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: is the animating ideology of San Francisco. So I give 45 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: you all of this background because I think it makes 46 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: this even more fascinating and tells you more about the 47 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: democrat mindset in the left wing strongholds. I think San 48 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: Francisco is, for a city of over a half a 49 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: million people, I think it is the most democrat city 50 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: in the entire country, with the exception it might be 51 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: DC now, which think about that. I mean DC, our 52 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: our nation's capital, is as a city entirely democrat dominated, 53 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: which is why you see things like the recent crime 54 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: bill that the city council passed. They think about this. 55 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: They have a increase, a massive increase in carjackings in DC, 56 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: which is a form of of armed robbery that threatened 57 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: someone's life for their car. They have card not car theft. Carjacking. 58 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: You know, get out of the car or I'm gonna 59 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: stab you or shoot you. That's what a carjacking is. 60 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: The DC city councils, like, we're punishing carjackers too harshly. 61 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: That's real. That was in their most recent crime bill 62 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: that even Joe Biden had to go along with the 63 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: Republicans in blockings. He's like, you guys are out of 64 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: your minds okay. In San Francisco, I just told you 65 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: they're approaching a billion dollar budget hole for this year 66 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be that's their projection. It's gonna be 67 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: worse because why, what business in its right mind, I 68 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: don't even care what its politics are is going to 69 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: move into downtown San Francisco right now? Can you think 70 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: of one. No, they're all breaking their leases and getting 71 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: out of there as soon as they possibly can. And 72 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 1: that's not going to change because it wasn't just about 73 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: COVID obviously, it was about all these other factors as well. 74 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: It is with that backdrop that I tell you that 75 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: reparations committee that has been hired by the City of 76 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco is now advising a five million dollars a 77 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: person lump some payment to every eligible black resident of 78 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco, a guaranteed income of ninety seven thousand dollars 79 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: per year for two hundred and fifty years, elimination of 80 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: personal debt and tax burdens, and homes for one dollar. 81 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: I am reading that to you. Okay, that is the 82 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: actual reporting year. I don't know what the best part 83 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: of this is. I mean five million dollars in a 84 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: lump sum. That's nice. That that helps a lot, obviously, 85 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: like I love a five million dollars lump sum. Sign 86 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: me up for that. The elimination of any personal debt 87 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and any need to pay any taxes, and a home 88 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: for a dollar. This is in a city that is 89 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: facing the biggest budget crisis in my lifetime. Certainly they're 90 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: spending money to have people tell them that the city 91 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: residents need to give five million dollars to every black 92 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: resident of the city of San Francisco who I'm trying 93 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: to find. There's some there's some specifications here. You have 94 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: to be let me see, by the way, only about 95 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: six percent of San Francisco's population is black, so it's 96 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: less than fifty thousand residents that Okay, they have to 97 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: prove that they migrated to San Francisco between nineteen forty 98 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: and nineteen ninety six, prove residency for it least thirteen years. 99 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: Have claimed to have been black on government documents for 100 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: at least ten years, and either be a descendant of 101 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: someone enslaved before eighteen sixty five, or this was really 102 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: interesting too, a direct descendant of someone jailed in the 103 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: failed War on Drugs. So by my understanding here, let's 104 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: say your family migrated from Africa in like the nineteen 105 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: eighties and somewhat in your you know, and you have 106 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: a father who went to prison for I don't know, 107 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: drug trafficking of some kind. That means that you would 108 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: qualify under this under these provisions. So I'm just I'm 109 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: just here to say, and I want to be very 110 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: clear on this. I think what San Francisco's reparations committee 111 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: is offering up is really racist. It is not nearly 112 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: enough money. Five million dollars a person. It should be 113 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars a person. It should be eleven. No, 114 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: So clearly we should go bankrupt, not just San Francisco, 115 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: which is going to head toward bankruptcy if it does 116 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: anything even approaching this, and it already is heading in 117 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: that direction without any of this, we should be willing 118 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: to go bankrupt asignation in order to do this right, 119 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the mentality I would want to 120 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: ask the members of this reparations committee. And this has 121 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: been passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. By 122 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: the way, they have embraced all of these recommendations, so 123 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: it has gone beyond the committee paid to study reparations 124 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. And they're the 125 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: ones who were saying, you know, we're gonna have to 126 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: look at this officially in June in terms of what 127 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: they adopt. Look, they're obviously not gonna do all I 128 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: mean I shouldn't say obviously, but they're not going to 129 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: do all of this. But at some level, I do 130 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: think it is a what would be called the Motte 131 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: and Bailey argument. It's makeing outrageous, make all these outrageous claims, 132 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: so that then when the council gathers together and they say, 133 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna give We're gonna give two hundred 134 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to every black resident. Okay, how about that, 135 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: there might be this moment of oh, well that's I mean, 136 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: it's not five million dollars, so that seems reasonable in comparison, right, 137 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: I's two hundred thousand dollars a person. City can't afford 138 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: that either, but maybe that's somewhat doable. You see how 139 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: that You see how that works as a classic um 140 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: bad faith argumentation tactic that people use or people people 141 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: use it in negotiations to negotiations, you'll generally it's a 142 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: little different. Um. There's another tactic called anchoring. Right, So 143 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: if I if I'm gonna buy a watch from somebody, 144 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: I can say to them and I've I've you know, 145 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: bought and sold watches on the on the fly before. 146 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: It's an interesting process. In New York. I could say 147 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: to them, hey, that's a really nice, you know, three 148 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars watch. Well they want you know, they want 149 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: six for it, and I just said it's a nice 150 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: three thousand dollars watch. I have anchored them, like that's 151 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: the purpose of that in negotiating. And those of you 152 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: who are in sales, you guys and gals, know all 153 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: this backwards and forwards. But modern Bailey argumentation is a 154 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: little bit difference when you take this a much more 155 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: expansive position in order to actually advance and protect a 156 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: by comparison reasonable position. Right, So this is why I say, oh, 157 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: we should give five million dollars per black resident in reparations, 158 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: and the you know ninety what was it, ninety something 159 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year for two hundred and fifty years. 160 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: I don't even you know, human beings really only lived 161 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: to one hundred. So there's a lot of stuff. But 162 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: the point being, after all that, then the committee can 163 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: maybe say, all right, so we're just gonna do maybe 164 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: we'll do a universal basic income for every black resident 165 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: of you know, ten thousand dollars a month. Right, Oh 166 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: wait a second, that sounds so reasonable and compare, And 167 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't dismiss all of this as just bluster 168 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: from the San Francisco Council and and this reparations committee. 169 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: I think there's the possibility that they do try something here. 170 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm just going to keep pointing out 171 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: five million dollars a resident. That's those are those are 172 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: low numbers. We need to get those We need to 173 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: get those numbers up. I'm the fifty million, San Francisco, 174 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: Why don't you take this problem seriously? Fifty million dollars 175 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: per black resident sounds far more social justice worthy. I 176 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: think fifty million it should be the number, right, that's 177 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: that's the way we should go. It's just as crazy 178 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: as their number, folks. So what difference does it make, 179 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And and the fact that 180 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: in cities where there are real problems, and this is 181 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: the honest to God part of the whole thing that 182 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: drives me crazy. There are real things that can be 183 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: done for all of the residents, the black residents and 184 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: all of the residents of San Francisco that would help 185 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: clean up those streets, keep them safer, enforce the law, 186 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: make it a place people want to live, make it 187 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: a place where people can go to good schools. You know, 188 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that could be done that's real. 189 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: No Instead, because you know, liberalism for so many in 190 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: this country is their religion replacement. You know, there's no 191 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: real attachment to God or anything beyond themselves. It's a 192 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: religion of narcissism and virtue signaling. Right, Oh, it's all 193 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: about me and feeling good about my positions. So for 194 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: the San Francisco residents and the area residents who have 195 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: so much money, and although I don't know SVB banks, 196 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: some of them have probably lost some money. This is 197 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity to feel good about themselves without actually doing 198 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: any good. And this is something you see continuously with 199 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Democrats in places like San Francisco and you know, like 200 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, New York City, DC, Chicago, you name it. 201 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: They want to do things that make them feel good 202 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: about themselves that do no actual good and in fact, 203 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: we'll do harm to other people, and they don't care. 204 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: And they don't care because it is a credo of 205 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: narcissism and self advancement that they espouse and pretend that 206 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: it's about other people, pretend that it's about historic injustice, 207 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: social injustice, whatever it is that they're saying today.

So coming up here in a couple of minutes, 232 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking a being about the Minnesota, Minnesota, 233 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: not to be confused with Montana or a different places. 234 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: I know, I know Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan. 235 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: She talked about the transgender child issue, and I want 236 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: to just continue to be as clear as I can 237 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: on this. They are he Democrats, the left of the 238 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: ones that are making this an issue. They keep pushing it. 239 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: They push, We say, stop being crazy, and they say, 240 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: why are you Why are you focusing on this because 241 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: you keep making it a thing and you demand that 242 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: we go along with lunacy, and you say things that 243 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: aren't true, and you try to use the force of 244 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: the state to do it. So, no, we're not going 245 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: to go along with it. But I also like to 246 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: talk about happy things as much as I possibly can. Here, 247 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: happy things, not just the fights, not just the important 248 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: battles that we face as a country internally and externally. 249 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: Governor Ron de Santis looks running up the scoreboard. He 250 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: is the scoreboard Governor. Okay, you look at what he's done. 251 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: You look at what he's accomplished, and kind of speaks 252 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: for itself. He's also got this going now. He has 253 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: a super majority in the or. I think it's a supermajority. 254 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: It's definitely a full fledged Republican majority top to bottom 255 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: in this state legislature. I think it's a supermajority. And 256 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: he called for constitutional carry. This was back at the 257 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: March seventh State of the State address. Play clip one. 258 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: We also understand that part of fighting crime is to 259 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: protect Floridian's right to defend themselves a constitutional right to 260 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: not require a permission slip from the government. It is 261 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: time we joined twenty five other states to enact constitutional 262 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: carry in the state of Florida. This is I'm told 263 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: by everybody down here, going to happen, meaning that you 264 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: will have the ability to concealed carry and without a license, 265 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: and you also will have reciprocity with other states that 266 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: have concealed carry constitutional carry provisions. This is completely logical, 267 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: reasonable policy, and you have to wonder why isn't this 268 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: the case any other state that could get this done. 269 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: They a lot of them have, but more certainly should. Look, 270 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: i'm all of I think firearms safety is absolutely essential 271 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: and everybody who is ever going to place hands on 272 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: a firearm should have whether it comes from you know, 273 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: a dad or a mom, or it comes from someone 274 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 1: at the range, really drills them on firearm safety. And 275 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: that's going to be especially important if you're going to 276 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: do if you're going to conceal carry your constitutional rights. 277 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: But this is just another instance, and it's coming. It's 278 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: coming down here in Florida, another instance of getting stuff 279 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: done instead of talking about stuff, And I think that's 280 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: something that we really need to focus in on with 281 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: our Republican politicians. By the way, the numbers on Kevin 282 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: McCarthy looking pretty good. A lot of people feel like 283 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: he got the message.

Florida, Tennessee that 307 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: they're taking actions to say, you're just not going to 308 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: do this under the guise of medicine. It is ideology 309 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: masquerading as medicine. Everybody who sits around and thinks about 310 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: it and is in brainwash knows that. Or you can 311 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: think that all of a sudden there's been a three 312 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: thousand percent rise in transgender kids, because that's actually just 313 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: been reality for all of human history until now, and 314 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: not that adults have decided because of the emptiness of 315 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: their own lives and their own susceptibility to brainwashing by 316 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: the left wing apparatus in this country, that adults are 317 00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: pushing this belief on children because it is fashionable. It well, 318 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: not just in their minds for the children, but actually 319 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: for the adults themselves. Oh look at me, I'm so progressive. 320 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: By the way, how many, you know, how many like 321 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: right wing dads who go to church every Sunday and 322 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: have callouses on their hands from their job or or 323 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, their their weekend activities end up having a 324 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, a seven year old that they decide is 325 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: you know, not actually a boy but a girl. And 326 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: then how many. It's such a coincidence, isn't it? Remember coincidences? 327 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: The Wohan Institute of Ivirology COVID pops up right next 328 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: to it. It's a big world. Oh that's a coincidence. Sure, 329 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: it is another coincidence. Blue haired, nose ringed left wing 330 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: activist shrieking on TikTok about you know how Trump is 331 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: hitler and how climate change is going to destroy the 332 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: planet happens to seem to be the profile of parent 333 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: of child who is actually transgender? How is that? What 334 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: a coincidence? M I wonder, why is it that the 335 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: obvious left wing loon tends to be much more likely 336 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: to be the parent of a transgender child. That's so 337 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: It's so interesting. Isn't it certainly much more likely to 338 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: be the parent of a transgender child who is being 339 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: pushed toward surgery, puberty blockers, any of the rest of it. 340 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: But then this brings me to other states we're seeing 341 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: this now states. One thing that COVID showed us was 342 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: how important your state government actually is, how tyrannical and 343 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: idiotic it can be, or how sane and rational and 344 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: of course then prosperous as a result of those decisions 345 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: that can be you know, see Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and 346 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: some others. But the state of Minnesota, the state of 347 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: Minnesota now has become, thanks to its Democrat governor Waltz, 348 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: a transgender surgery for youth haven or a sanctuary state 349 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: for transgender surgeries and puberty blockers. They keep calling they 350 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: keep calling it gender affirming care. Why don't they call 351 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: it gender transitioning care? You ever thought about that? That's 352 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: what it used to be called. Why do they change it? 353 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: Because they want you to use language that concedes the 354 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: argument before the argument is even made. They want you 355 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: to say, effectively, you're right before you've even gotten into 356 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: what they're right about. You're affirming the gender with this care. Wait, no, 357 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: you're changing a gender. Where notice even in that simple, 358 00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: that simple lie, that straightforward reality. You can see what's 359 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: really going on here. So Wall signed this executive order. 360 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: And even when I read the when I read the 361 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: way the media talks about this, it's always you know, oh, 362 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: but these things are the gender firming care, which is 363 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: generally puberty blockers and hormone therapy, and it's mostly or 364 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: partially reversible, and like maybe sometimes they're surgery, but you know, 365 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: let's not talk about that. I mean, we want to 366 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: make sure that people do that. Kids, little kids. We 367 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: want to make sure. The Democrats want to be certain 368 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: in Minnesota that a fourteen year old girl when she 369 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: enters puberty can have a double misstectomy. They want to 370 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: be certain of that, but they also want to downplay 371 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: the realities of what happens, you know, of what the 372 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: long term implications of this are and if you want 373 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: to get into the mindset here. So Minneso as a state, 374 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, I used to I used to go camping 375 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: in Minnesota with my dad over the summers in the 376 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: Boundary waters. So those who are who are Minnesota folks 377 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: or maybe some others who've traveled at her you know, 378 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. I always some people in Minnesota were so 379 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: nice and I think that that holds up. And I 380 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: just don't know how it's been turned into such a 381 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: left wing blue Democrat looney bin, but it is. It is. 382 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: Here you have the Lieutenant governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, 383 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: who is a who's a Native American, which you'll hear 384 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: about a lot because that's you know, identity politics. Super 385 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 1: important is what does she stand for? What are her 386 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: leadership capabilities? What does she No, no, no, let's just 387 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: first all celebrate. We're told that you have the first 388 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: Native American woman at this level of politics in the 389 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: state of Minnesota, or maybe it's I think she actually 390 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: might be the second, but whatever. But she's a community activist. 391 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: He's very left wing in her thoughts and beliefs. And 392 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: I want you to hear, especially for the parents out there, 393 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: what is now. These are people with a lot of power, 394 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: governor's lieutenant governors. They're signing legislation that is going to 395 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: by the way, this is going to be turned against 396 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: parents who are not crazy at some point because what 397 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: you're going to have is a doctor. Just wait, remember 398 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: that I've said this to you. You will have a 399 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: case at the national level. It will become a big 400 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: issue where you have the system activist therapist, some you 401 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 1: know doctor who seems like a loon but has an 402 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: MD who's like, yeah, we need to do gender transitions 403 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: for the fourteen year olds, and then a parent who 404 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: steps in and says, I don't want this for my child, 405 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: and the system says if you don't allow this, it's 406 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: child abuse. To not allow the general mutilation of your 407 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: child as child abuse. Just give it time. This will happen. 408 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: If it hasn't, it might have already happened in the state. 409 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: I just haven't seen it or can't remember it right now, 410 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: but that will happen. Here is Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota 411 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: Nigan on some parenting advice that I think all the 412 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: parents in this audience. Oh boy, here you go. Play 413 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: clip three. Let's be clear. This is life affirming and 414 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: life saving healthcare. When our children tell us who they are, 415 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: it is our job as grown ups to listen and 416 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: to believe them. That's what it means to be a 417 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: good parent. Oh there you go, That's what it means 418 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: to be a good parent. So I remember they talk 419 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: about trans babies. The lefts don't let them, don't let 420 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: them try to pretend that they talk about trans babies. 421 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: Men can get periods, men can get pregnant, there are 422 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: transgender babies. I mean, they've gone all out with all 423 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: this stuff now, and now the fight is, should we 424 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: actually allow these these quack doctors, these these lunatic medical 425 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: practitioners to like remove the breasts of a healthy teenage 426 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: girl because she's side and she's a man before she's eighteen. 427 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about adults are not even a 428 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: part of this conversation right now, putting that aside entirely. 429 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: But for children, Oh, they say it's reversible. Really, Oh yeah, 430 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure puberty. Puberty blocking drugs block your your your 431 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: gender transition for a few years, with the same drugs 432 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: in some cases that they actually give to um, you know, 433 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: sex offenders to sterilize them. It's sterilizing drug block block 434 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: someone's puberty and then tell them they're just going to 435 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: turn it back on everything we find in normal. That's crazy, 436 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: it's not true the long term effects of this that 437 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: they they're lying to you, but the same way they 438 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: lying about COVID and everything else, they're lying to you 439 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: about what the data really says. But I thought This 440 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: was fascinating. So if a child, if you're six year old, 441 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: comes up to you and says, on one day, I'm 442 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: a stegosaurus, which I'm sure some of you, the parents 443 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: out there, would say, yeah, my kids have said some 444 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: weird stuff when they're you know, I've six years old, 445 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm a Steaga saurd I identify with triceratops. I feel 446 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: like I'm a triceratops. You are supposed to say to that, well, 447 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what would what would Lieutenant Governor Flanagan 448 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: want you to say. I assume it would be no, no, no, 449 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: you're not actually an extinct dinosaur species. That would be 450 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: really hard. But at the same child, at the same age, 451 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: were to say, I'm I want to be called a 452 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: girl's name and have long hair and dress in princess 453 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: costumes and I'm a girl. Oh, it's time to have 454 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: all their classmates and the school and everybody treat them 455 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: like a girl. And forget about the fact that so 456 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: much of this is drawn by kids being one confused, 457 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: two impressionable, three wanting attention. Minnesota a state that is 458 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: now standing up and saying, come to us if you 459 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: want gender transition surgery for kids. It's a shame what 460 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: they've done to that state. All right, my friends, there 461 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: are a few greater feelings than total exhilaration.

Study says that people 493 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: who live at elevations of more than forty five hundred meters, 494 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: so that includes Mount Rainier, Mount Whitney, a lot of 495 00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: Colorado Alaska peaks have lower rates of metabolic diseases, diabetes, 496 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: and coronary heart disease according to this study, finds article today, 497 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: which is interesting. It makes makes sense you think about it. Actually, 498 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: your body has to get used to lower levels of oxygen. Also, 499 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: you probably if you live up in the mountains, are 500 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: dealing with more rugged walks and movement in your day 501 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: to day life. I always think it's fascinating that when 502 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: you think about and certainly folks from Appalachia or Appalachia 503 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: are of the mindset they understand this already, that there 504 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: tends to be a certain mentality certain leave me alone, 505 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: get out of my business. The government should back off. 506 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: Mentality that has played out all throughout history. In fact, 507 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: and there's a book, The Revenge of Geography by Kaplan 508 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: that goes into this at some detail. And you found 509 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: that you find that wherever you have true mountain people 510 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: anywhere in the world, anywhere in his three you have 511 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: people who are pretty fierce, hard to conquer, expect to 512 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: be left alone, and are not, you know, are not 513 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: to be trifled with by a central government. You see 514 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: this with certainly Afghans, and that stretches all the way 515 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: back to in the Hindu kush the invasion of Alexandra 516 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: the Great. You have this with the with the Kurds 517 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: in northern Iraq. Although a lot of Kurds have now 518 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: moved down into the flat planes of of Iraq. You know, 519 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: tigers and Euphrates Iraq. And um, you have the multa 520 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: yard in uh in Southeast Asia, which is the French 521 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: for mountain people. Um, you have the Scots obviously the 522 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: Highland highlander, the Heilander. So you've got you know, we 523 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: all know about the Scots. How long do you think 524 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: the British You think the English should have been able 525 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: to defeat the Scots pretty quickly, Uh, just based on 526 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: advantage in numbers and resources. But it turns out out 527 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: the highlands it's pretty useful, pretty useful. The Swiss. We 528 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: think of the Swiss now for chocolate, watches and banking. Um, 529 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: less so for banking, but still. But for a long 530 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: time the Swiss were were those who provided mercenaries too, 531 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: and they were the like badass mercenaries too much of 532 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: the rest of Europe. And in fact, this is why 533 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: when you go to the Vatican you'll see the Swiss 534 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 1: guards and they're wearing this very very colorful uniform. Uh. 535 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: They were mercenaries from Switzerland that at one point the 536 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: popes well began to contract with. But also Maronite Christians 537 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: in Lebanon. They are a mountain people who have pushed 538 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: back against the encroachment of a centralized authority. Uh, you 539 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: know West Virginians, people in Appolai, Appalachia, they're like, you know, 540 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: like the government, to leave me alone. Tends to be 541 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: pretty common mindset there too. Anyway, I always found that 542 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: to be a fascinating historical graphical reality. You just go 543 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: all over the world think of people live in mountains, 544 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: and you'll find people that you know, fit into that 545 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: category no matter where they are, from Scotland to Southeast Asia. 546 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: You get people that are like, hey, leave me alone. 547 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: The highlands. I'm getting a little braveheart, a little bit 548 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: of a braveheart vibe here. One of the I mean, 549 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: I think the greatest movie of all time, even though 550 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 1: there's some real historical problems that come up with it. 551 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: But it is healthy for you to be up at altitude. 552 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: Not obviously super altitude, you know, not talking about climbing 553 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: Mount Everest where you could die of oxygen deprivation, etc. 554 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: But it is healthy to be at altitude, That's all 555 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So for those of you who live up 556 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: up high, it's good for you. It always does. Feel 557 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: too like the Even when I would get up into 558 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: the hills of the Hudson Valley area and spend my 559 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: summers up there, it felt like the Crisp Air was 560 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: something that it's just you get up, you get up 561 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of elevation, and uh, it's pretty nice, 562 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: pretty good stuff. So what are we doing in the 563 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: next hour, my friends, That's where I want to take you. 564 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: First off, let's take a look at what the latest 565 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: is with the financial and banking situation. Janet Yellen supposed 566 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: to tell people out there, telling people don't worry, Everything's 567 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. M I don't know about that one. 568 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: And then also the Biden administration demanding a sale of TikTok. 569 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: So there's that and Faucci. Fauci is running around telling 570 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: people while on Mourning Joe, which I think is that 571 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: is the quintessential Faucci eyed audience. It is lifestyle liberals 572 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: who mostly inherited their money and live on the coasts 573 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: and think that they're really people of the people, but 574 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: ask anybody at their country club, that's not really true. 575 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: And they think that Fauci is still a genius, and 576 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: he's going over to a mourning Joe to talk about 577 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: the vaccines and how great they are. He's still doing it. 578 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: And I mentioned in Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his surge 579 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: in approval favorability. He is at his sixty three percent 580 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: favorability right now against seventeen unfavorable in the Republican Party. 581 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: So turns out that not only did you know Chip 582 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: Roy and some of the others who were pushing for 583 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: changes to the way Congress does its business, not only 584 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: did they get those concessions, but I think it was 585 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: also a wake up call for Speaker of the House 586 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, which is certainly a good thing. So, my friends, 587 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to in that next hour. 588 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: Also want to take some of your calls eight hundred 589 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: two two to eight eight two, and you can send 590 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: us an email.
