1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: The narrative. Talk about that. Tonight we'll talk about Jeff 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: Charles and libertarianism. He's coming out to talk about libertarianism. 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: Can it take hold? Is it gonna take hold of 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: the American people? Even wanted Kevin Kylie new Congress move 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: from California. A hilarious light in the mood. All that's 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: coming up? I'm right Have you heard the news? You 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: know what I wish we had right now? I wish 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: we had that theme song. Remember the TV show that 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: Jefferson's is freaking Hysterical. I used to watch it with 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: my family when I was a kid, and they'd have 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: that song on there. Moving on up, We're moving on 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: it the east Side. It's basically what the song sounded like. 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: We hear at the first TV You're moving on up? 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: Where are we going? Oh, don't don't worry. We're right here. 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: We're right here. Don't worry. But we're also gonna be 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: on direct TV now, direct TV now, coming soon, very soon. 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: Shouldn't be too long at all. You will be able 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: to watch me on direct TV. How about that? So 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: it looks like we're moving on up in the world 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: around here, which is good. I am thrilled. Actually, and 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: you know why I'm thrilled. I need to call my mom. 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: I need to call my mom and tell her, hey, 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: tune in because she has direct TV. Tune in, watch 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: the show on direct TV, because you're gonna want to 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: see me on direct TV before we all die in 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: nuclear holocaust. I think that's an important thing. Now. I joke, 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: but I only have joke. Let's address the news, you know. 28 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: Let me why I do this. Let me say, you know, 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: I don't really like talking about Russia Ukraine. And for 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: those who are just now tuning in, this is why 31 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't like talking about Russia Ukraine. I don't like anybody. 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't like Vladimir Putin. I don't like Russia. I 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: don't like Ukraine. Well, I'm talking about the leadership there. 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: It's a horribly corrupt country and has been for a 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: long time, just like Russia is. I hate them both. 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: My heart only go out to the Ukrainian people, the 37 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: civilians who've been killed and displaced by this whole thing. 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't care about Vladimir Putin, I don't care about Ukraine. 39 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't care who wins that's to be. That's just 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: the honest truth with you. I want the Ukrainian civilians 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: to stay alive and stay happy. That's all I care about. 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: I don't like Zelinski, I don't like Putin, I don't 43 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: like any of them. So that's why I don't talk 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: about it very much. But I do think there is 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: an interesting thing we can discuss, very interesting nuclear weapons. 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: How do we conduct ourselves? This was Joe Biden making 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: the announcement about the Abrams tanks, and today today I'm 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: announcing that the United States will be sending thirty one 49 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: Abram tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion. Okay, 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: all right, I'll get the details, come some details on 51 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: the Abram tanks here in a second, but let's get 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: to this really quickly. You see two different things out there, 53 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: and they can both be kind of true, but one 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: of them bothers me the most. And these are the 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: two different things you see when you're dealing with war 56 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: and foreign conflict with countries like Russia that you'll see this, well, 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: we can't let Russian nukes determine what we do. You 58 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: see that, that's one that's very common thing you see, 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: especially on the right. And then you'll see the second thing, 60 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: which is, well, we can't do anything because they have 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. Okay, well, I think, as is often the case, 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: it's not black and white, it's gray. Let's let's address 63 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: the second thing first. What what is that supposed to mean? 64 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: We can't ever do anything foreign policy wise that offends 65 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: of foreign power that has nuclear weapons. That's that's not true. 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: That that can't be true. That can't be the world 67 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: we live in. But set that aside, let's go to 68 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: the first thing. Well, then having nukes shouldn't determine our 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: or in policy. I see this all the time. I 70 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: think people think it sounds tough or smart. I don't 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: care that they have nukes. Go Ukraine. What do you 72 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: mean you don't care that they have nukes? What does 73 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: that mean? Do you think that sounds tough or intelligent? Russia? 74 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: They are led by a man who is allegedly dying, 75 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: a hardcore nationalist who is dying and is probably going 76 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: to be killed by his own people if he loses 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: this war. He also happens to be in possession of 78 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire planet. Several times over, 79 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: Oh and did I mention he has the ability to 80 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: deliver said nuclear weapons anywhere he wants, anytime he chooses 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: to do so. So I'm sorry, but you're I don't 82 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: care that he has nukes. That doesn't matter. Falls a 83 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: little flat when you consider Vladimir Bhutin can wipe out 84 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: one hundred two hundred million Americans in an afternoon if 85 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: he chooses to do so on his way out the door. 86 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't consider this at all? 87 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: Which brings me to the Russian Ukraine thing. Another reason, 88 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: another reason I don't care. We just had nine Ukraine 89 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: officials resigned. Why corruption, bribery. We're talking mega yachts and 90 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: mansions and everything else, and the United States of America 91 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: we are out there not only say we won't. We're 92 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: refusing people have asked, we're refusing to audit the funds 93 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: we've sent them. In the wake official officials resigning, we 94 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: are still taking the official stance that there's no misuse 95 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: of funds at all. Said previously in your assessment of 96 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: both military and economic aide to Ukraine at this point, 97 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: thus far, you haven't seen any signs of corruption or 98 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: misuse corrupt Okay, but there is corruption there. This corruption 99 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: here is corruption everywhere. Ukraine was a horribly corrupt country 100 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: with bought and paid for politicians and business leaders long 101 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: before Russia across its borders. That has to be something 102 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: we consider when we consider when we continue to throw 103 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: gobs and gobs of taxpayer money at them, can we 104 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: get an accounting? And so what we've done now is 105 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: we've taken this stance that nobody, not a single person 106 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: can elaborate for me. And this is what our stance is. No, 107 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: I don't care what Putin does. No Putin has to lose, 108 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: No Putin has to leave. No give Ukraine everything they want. 109 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: And I asked the simple question, Okay, what if Putin 110 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: won't we what then? I know you want them to leave? Shoot, 111 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: I want them to leave, get out, go back home, 112 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: go back to Russia. Leave the Ukrainian people alone. I 113 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: want them to leave. What I want doesn't matter, Well 114 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: you want, doesn't matter. What the United States of America wants, 115 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The man in possession of enough nuclear weapons 116 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: to end life on the planet as we know it 117 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: right now at least doesn't want to leave. So what's 118 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: the plan. And to keep in mind that America, our 119 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: foreign intelligence, our leaders, our generals, our presidents, our senators, 120 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: our state department. They haven't won a war in decades. 121 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: They haven't put together a coherent strategy to win a 122 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: war in decades. In fact, we know courtesy of things 123 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 1: like the Afghanistan papers, about five minutes after we arrived 124 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, they're looking around saying, hey, we don't really 125 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: know what the mission even is. What's the mission? How 126 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: does this end? If there's not going to be any 127 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: negotiation at all? As I see this all the time 128 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: from people trying to sound tough and smart, nothing, he 129 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: doesn't get one square inch. Okay, okay, what's the plan? 130 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: I need to know. I don't want to hear about 131 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: your emotional response. I'm not interested in it at all. 132 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: Now I have my friend lives there. I don't care. 133 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 1: I couldn't possibly care less. I want to know what's 134 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: the plan because if he doesn't want to surrender and 135 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: he feels like he's going to die, if he does 136 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: surrender and he is in possession of many, many, many 137 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, I want to know what the plan is. 138 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Does anyone have one at all? I don't think so. 139 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: All that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am 140 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: right still have a great show for you.

Well, now you can hear your 167 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted 168 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 169 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 170 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 171 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 172 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: start your morning. The narrative because obviously the Paul Pelosi 173 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: stuff is in the news today, but this is way way, 174 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: way beyond the Paul Pelosi stuff and the cameras from 175 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: the Capitol police there and the body cam stuff, and 176 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: this goes way beyond that. If you think about this 177 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: and only in the frame of this particular story, you're 178 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: gonna miss it. You're really gonna miss the boat on this. 179 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: There's something you have to prepare yourself for it will 180 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: be true your entire life. And see, you need to 181 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: be ready for it, and you need to prepare the 182 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: people around you. And that is the setting of the narrative. 183 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: The setting of the narrative, the narrative. How you think 184 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: about things is so critical to how you will react 185 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: and how most of the population will react and how 186 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: they will move for something. Let me give you a 187 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: little example here. Let's say you wanted to learn the piano. 188 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: All right, you want to become a pianist. You want 189 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: to become a pianist. Anyway, you want to learn the piano, 190 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: and your mother hires you a piano instructor. Who are 191 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: You're excited? But then right before your first lesson, you 192 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: could pull it aside by your friend and say, Hey, 193 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: that dude who's going to be teaching you piano? I 194 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: found out he's a Nazi. He was a Nazi camp guard. 195 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: Did you know that this guy is a murderer and 196 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: a monster. Okay, so you sit down and do your 197 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: piano lesson. Let's say you don't cancel and everything he 198 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: tells you, what would you be thinking about? How would 199 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: you be framing it? Whatever he said? It would shade 200 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: everything because your friend got to you before your first lesson. 201 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: He got to you first, before you met the guy, 202 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: and now he is shaded everything you do. Whether or 203 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: not that guy is or isn't a Nazi really doesn't 204 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: matter at all, because in your mind he already is. Therefore, 205 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: when he yells at you a little bit, no, no, 206 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: not that key, you think, what are you gonna kill me? Too? 207 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: Shades everything. That's why you need to prepare yourself whenever, 208 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: if any story comes out, and there will be a 209 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: new one tomorrow and the next day and the next 210 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: day and the next day, you need to prepare yourself 211 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: for twenty four to forty eight hours of lies, agenda 212 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: driven lies. They're not trying to find the truth. They're 213 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: not trying to get you the truth. They're they're not 214 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: doing any of this stuff at all. They're trying to 215 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: set a narrative for their own political purposes. And the 216 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: reason I bring this up is the Right misses this 217 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and actually beyond missing it, 218 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: the Right will go out and help them do it 219 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: time and time again, and then when they always get 220 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: caught flat footed, they'll come around. In a week, two weeks, 221 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: three weeks, oh man, dang, guys, I can't believe they 222 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: got me. Oh it turns out fifteen days as though 223 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: the spread wasn't a good idea. Guys, my bad. I mean, 224 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're owning it. I'm glad you're coming around, 225 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: But it's too late. You have twenty four to forty 226 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: eight hours on the right to lock shields with your 227 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: fellow man on the right and fight back against the 228 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: false narrative the communist apparatics are setting. If we don't 229 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: join forces, join lock shields and fight back in twenty 230 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: four to forty eight hours, then it's already lost. Immediately, 231 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: Paul Pelosi, the story comes out in twenty four to 232 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. There was this full core press. Oh 233 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: my gosh, it's some deranged maga guy. He was trying 234 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: to hunt out and assassinate Nancy. Poor Paul. These violent 235 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: right winners from the president on down twenty four to 236 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: forty eight hours, they all jumped in and I sat 237 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: and watched half of the politicians, impunits on the right 238 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: go along. Yeah, man, it is. It is too bad. 239 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: And what do we get what's the real truth? Well, 240 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: the district attorneys that didn't think you needed to see 241 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: anybody cam footage. Are you planning to release nine Call 242 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: or anybody care a video? Not at this time, Not 243 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: at this time. Huh went on to say that it 244 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: would just promote conspiracy theories. People were mad at her. 245 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: You should admire it because she knows exactly what she's doing. 246 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: She knows. Oh yeah, sure that video look bad, but 247 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: it didn't matter because we spent forty eight hours setting 248 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: the narrative. It's too late now. The narrative is all 249 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: the matters. Remember that.

Yeah, you know, that 273 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: was an interesting moment for sure, And I didn't really 274 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: expect that i'd be number two eighteen to sort of 275 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: be the person to officially fire Nancy Felosi from her 276 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: job as speaker, but that's the way things came out, 277 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: and you know, it's really it was very nice of 278 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: the President there, and it's certainly nice to be in 279 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: the majority to have a chance to really do some 280 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: damage control here, to change the direction of the country, 281 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: especially after after you know, I've been in California for 282 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: some years now in the super duper minority, So it's 283 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: nice to be able to have good, sensible legislation that 284 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: we can ask for the benefit or constituents. Well, actually, 285 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: that's where we're going right now. I had to drag 286 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: you back into that area. But I have a California question, 287 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: because there's somebody in your beautiful state that I am 288 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: very concerned about. This was me a little bit earlier 289 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: this week that feeling I used to get when I 290 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: looked at Barack Obama and I didn't really know who 291 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: he was yet, And I think about past Jesse and 292 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: I think, boy, you really should have been paying more 293 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: attention to that guy, because he's going to do lots 294 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: of damage to your country. That's how I feel when 295 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: I look at Gavin Newsom right now, Congressman, I'm worried 296 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: about this person. Should I be? Well, of course you 297 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: should be. He is ruining the greatest state in the country, California. 298 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: This is not hyperbole. I mean you look at our state. 299 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: For one hundred and seventy years, we had a population 300 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: that was growing. It was the state everyone wanted to 301 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: come to. Gavin Newsom is the person who brought that 302 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: trend to its breaking point and flipped it around. And 303 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: so under the last three years under his governorship, for 304 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: the first time in our state's history, we have had 305 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: a net population decrease. As a matter of fact, for 306 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: three years in a row. California has led the nation 307 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: in one way. You haul rentals, and when you look 308 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: at our beautiful state, everything we have to offer, you 309 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: have to be pretty bad at governing to sort of 310 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: override all of the good things about our state and 311 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: make people want to leave. And so California is the 312 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: perfect case study in the absolute failure of these far left, 313 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: so called progressive policies. They're ruining the greatest in the country, 314 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: and yes, now Gavin Newsom wants to use them to 315 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: ruin the greatest country in the world. He says California 316 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: is a model for the nation. Those are his words. Biden, 317 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: quite frankly seems to believe that in many ways. But 318 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, I owe those of us in California know 319 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: that nothing could be further. California is not a model 320 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: for the nation. It is a warning to the nation. 321 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: Can you explain to people who aren't in California, because 322 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: I'm worried about this guy becoming president. Why are people 323 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: leaving because I was stationed there. Should I've spent all 324 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: kinds of time there, and it really is It is paradise. 325 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: It is freaking paradise. So to pack up your stuff 326 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: and leave California something has to suck bad. What's wrong? Well, 327 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: that's right. We have so many things going for us. 328 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: You know, everything you could ever want is here in California. 329 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: We have our amazing mountains and beautiful scenery and beaches, 330 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: and amazing companies and culture, amazing cities. And yet we 331 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: have a government that has managed to make it so 332 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: worth the state that has the highest taxes, that has 333 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: the worst business climate and regulations, that has the highest 334 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: level of poverty of any state in the country, that 335 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: is the worst homelessness by far of any state in 336 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: the country. That has pretty much the worst education outcomes, 337 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: especially in underserved communities, of any state in the country. 338 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: That has the most onerous restrictions on personal freedom of 339 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: any state in the country, that had, during the COVID era, 340 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: the most draconian lockdowns across the board, when it came 341 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: to business shutdowns, when it came to church shutdowns, when 342 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: it came to school shutdowns, when it came to mass mandates, 343 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: when it came to vaccine mandates, when it came to 344 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: a vaccine passports, every single step of the way, California 345 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: was the most coercive state. And so you know, this 346 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: is just sort of what we're dealing with here, and 347 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: in recent years it's only continued to get worse, but 348 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: never more so than under the governorship of Gavin Newsom. 349 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: You're in the House Judiciary Committee, Path the grace of God, 350 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: all right, where do you guys begin? We have lots 351 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: of problems we need some oversight on. Where do you begin. 352 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: What's on the agenda? Well, it's going to be a 353 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: very expansive agenda because there is so much that we 354 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: need to look into, in terms of what's going on 355 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: at DOJ, of course, in terms of what's going on 356 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: at the border, In terms of the way that this 357 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: administration has targeted parents and used counter terrorism resources against 358 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: them and called parents domestic terrorists. In terms of the 359 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: way that the government has been colluding with big tech 360 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: in order to censor political opposition, In terms of the 361 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: origins of COVID nineteen and getting the Anthony Fauci in 362 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: to testify under oath. So those are just a few 363 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: of the things, but you're going to see the true 364 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: oversight function of the House of Representatives, vibe. This is 365 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: our constitutional responsibility to provide oversight of the executive branch. 366 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi completely abandoned that responsibility because you didn't want 367 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: to make Joe Biden look bad. But we're going to 368 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: take a completely nonpartisan approach simply fulfilling the obligation, the 369 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: constitutional obligation of the legislative branch, and that's to provide 370 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: oversight and to hold the administration accountable. What is the plan, 371 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: because because I love this, what is the plan when 372 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: the FBI does what the FBI does every single time 373 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: when they get called in front of Congress and they 374 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: get asked hard questions. We can't comment on an ongoing investigation. 375 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: We can't comment on That's all we get. So nothing 376 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: ever happens. You bring them in, you ask them the 377 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: appropriate questions, they say, we can't comment, and then nothing 378 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: is it? That's what? Is that? What it's going to 379 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: be again, what's the plan for when they stonewall because 380 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: they're going to stonewall. Well importantly, you know, now we 381 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: have the ability to actually use the subtena power that 382 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: comes with being charge of the committees in the House 383 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: of Representatives and having the majority, and so you know, 384 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: for example, there has now just been established by a 385 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: vote of the House a select Committee on the Weaponization 386 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: of the Federal Government looking at how federal agencies have 387 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: been used to monitor citizens and have been used to 388 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: target American citizens. We're gonna be looking into all of that, 389 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: and sure there will be stonewalling that this will be 390 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: the case in any oversight that we do. They'll try 391 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: to do everything they possibly can to avoid transparency, to 392 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: avoid accountability. Which is why it's important that those of 393 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: us who are in oversight roles alike on the House 394 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee make sure to continue to pursue the facts, 395 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: to not be deterred by these stonewall tactics, and to 396 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: use every tool at our disposal to give the American 397 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: people the information that they're entitled to. Politics is funny, 398 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: it's in locations. Areas are funny because they change over time. 399 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: Most people were too young to realize California was actually 400 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: a reliable red state for a very long time, a 401 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: Republican state. But more than just California these blue areas 402 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: of the country. A lot of places I love, not 403 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: just California, New York City. These places, do they have 404 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: a chance to come back? Can they come back? Because 405 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: it seems like we're ten million miles away from them 406 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: ever coming back. I want them too, but it doesn't 407 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 1: seem realistic. Yeah, I mean, when you look at the 408 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: exodus that we were talking about with California, it's even worse, 409 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: much worse. Actually in these major cities in California, for example, 410 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco is now losing residence at a faster pace 411 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: than any major city in United States history, even faster 412 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: than when they're basically the city went in bankrupt. And 413 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: so that is just a testament. San Francisco is one 414 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: of the most beautiful places in the world, and yet 415 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: it's now become sort of has this record breaking rate 416 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: of people fleeing. It tells you everything you need to 417 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: know about what's happening in California. And you know, you 418 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: think about all the policy failers we've been talking about 419 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: in California, San Francisco is like five ten years ahead. 420 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: You know, gavinus was mayor there before he was governor 421 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: of California, So there really is sign of things to 422 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: come for the entire state. I do think that they 423 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: can come back, though. I do think that we have 424 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: you know, amazing people in these cities and across the 425 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: states still. And frankly, you know, also there are a 426 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: lot of parts of California that are not just you know, 427 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: completely blue and one sided. I happen to represent ten 428 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: different counties. The one I live in is Plasta County, 429 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: which is a county that is, you know, kind of 430 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: leading the way in terms of promoting freedom within the 431 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: state of California. We actually had our schools and businesses 432 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: open earlier than any n state, in any county in California. 433 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: During the COVID showdowns, we terminated our emergency earlier than 434 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: any county in California. And guess where people are moving 435 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: When you look at migration within the state, they're moving 436 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: away from places like San Francisco or Los Angeles, and 437 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: they're moving two places like Plasta County, where I live 438 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: and represent. And so even when you're sort of within 439 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: a jurisdiction like California that is moving in exactly the 440 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: wrong direction, you can still try to create the sort 441 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: of local conditions that will allow you know, citizens to 442 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: lead their lives in way that you know our country's 443 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: up been all about since you get an idea of 444 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: self government.

I mean, where is 469 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: he going to draw the line somewhere between abolition and now? 470 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: I don't know where Ronda Santis considers the history versus 471 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: the now? Joining me now, my friend Jeff Charles, contributor 472 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: to Red State the Nation, author of a new book 473 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: out called Chasing Liberty, coming out on February twenty fifth. 474 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: If I know Jeff, it should be good. Jeff. I 475 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: understand that it's all about who you know and things 476 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: like that. But how do these people get on television? 477 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: I really, I really genuinely want to know. Don Lemon 478 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: has his own television show. Don Lemon is an idiot 479 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: by any measure, and a moron about everything, and yet 480 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: he sits there every day for an hour on CNN. 481 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: It amazes me. Well, you know, I've always said, Jesse, 482 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: and you know I still I'm still debating this, but 483 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: I think I'm in the wrong line of work. You 484 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: can get paid big bucks if you're a black man 485 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: going on a TV screen to call people racists. I mean, 486 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: that's what it is. I mean, black men and women. 487 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: They use these black faces to call everybody right racist 488 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: because it sounds better coming from a black person than 489 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: from a white progressive. All right, what is the SANTIS doing? 490 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, Jeff, I don't know. I've 491 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: seen the headlines. I've seen a couple of video clips. 492 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: What's what is he banning? Is he banning talks of flavory? 493 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: What's he doing down there? No, no, he's not. But 494 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: that is the narrative that they're running with, just the 495 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: same way they did with a parental Rights and Education bill. 496 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: So here's what happened. The College Board, which is the 497 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: organization that's responsible for ministering the SAT test, they came 498 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: out with this advanced placement, this ap African American Studies 499 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: course for older high school students, and they've been rolling 500 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: out this pilot to about sixty different schools across the country. 501 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: So they tried to introduce this to Florida, and they 502 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: rejected it not outright. They said, basically, we're not going 503 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: to accept this as is because it doesn't have a 504 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: lot of educational value, but if you retool it and 505 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: resubmit it, then we'll take another look at it. And 506 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: the issue wasn't so much the fact that it was 507 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: teaching about black history African American studies. But as they 508 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: always do, they start inserting in this Marxist propaganda. They 509 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: wanted to put queer theory into it, stuff that doesn't 510 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: have much to do with the history of Black America. 511 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: And it's basically it goes against the Stop Wokeact, so 512 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: it's against Florida law to basically indoctrinate children in this stuff. 513 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: It has a lot of stuff inspired by critical race theory. 514 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: And the main issue here, Jesse, that I have with it, 515 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: it's not the fact that it has material from Marxist thinkers, 516 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: because Marxism has been in the Black community throughout history. 517 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: The problem is that it doesn't have opposing viewpoints like 518 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: you don't see much about You don't see anything about 519 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: like book or T. Washington, Frederick Douglas, you know, Walter E. Williams, 520 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: people like that. So if this is supposed to inspire 521 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: critical thinking. Why not include both sides? No, it really 522 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: is very much one sided in favor of Marxism. It 523 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: talked about overthrowing capitalism and things like that. I wish 524 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: more people knew about Frederick Douglas. No one knows about 525 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: Frederick Douglas. It's weird, all right. Let me ask you 526 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: something about the Marxism in the black community, because this 527 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: is a thing. It's a thing most people don't want 528 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: to talk about for various reasons, but it is a 529 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: thing that has been there for quite some time. Even 530 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: the Soviets were getting involved in the Civil rights movement 531 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. How did that come about? Why 532 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: is that a thing? Where's that? Where'd that come from? Jeff? 533 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: You know, it really started after World War One ended 534 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: and you had a lot of people coming back and 535 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: in the black community they want they were during, especially 536 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: during the Harlem Renaissance. That's where a lot of Marxist 537 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: thought was taking hold in black communities. Now, most black people, 538 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: even back then and especially now, are not Marxist. Most 539 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: black people are not Communist. But these influences were still 540 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: coming into the community through people like Web du Bois 541 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: and others. But it really blew up during the excuse me, 542 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: during the Harlem Renaissance, and then you had the Red 543 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: Summer that those riots, and you know, that's when it 544 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: started to flourish, and they and the black community wasn't 545 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: getting much of an alternative from the other part of 546 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. So there are a lot of black 547 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: people who jumped onto that, and that legacy even still 548 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: remains today. I mean, you were just bringing up people 549 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: like like Don Lemon. That's where you get a lot 550 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: of a lot of that far left wing intelligentsia. Man, 551 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: are we really referring to Lemon as part of intelligensia? Gosh? 552 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: That is that's a sad state of affairs for this country. Jeff, 553 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: all right, we did have a school choice on the 554 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: House Intelligence Community. We did. Still, I still can't believe 555 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: we had a guy who was sleeping with the Chinese 556 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: spy on the House Intelvin, you know what. Setting that 557 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: aside for a moment, you have a piece out on 558 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: Red State about school choice. We hear this a lot, 559 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: school choice, school choice, school choice. Where do we stand 560 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: on it? Are we getting better? I think I am 561 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic. I mean, it is National School Choice Week 562 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: right now. And Iowa finally passed a significant piece of 563 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: school choice legislation. The governor there has been trying to 564 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: get this going for years. He has tried twice and 565 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: it's always been voted down, but third time was a charm, 566 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: so they went ahead and got that passed. Here in Texas, 567 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: we're both into exist and we have our legislative session 568 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: right now, and I can tell you school choice is 569 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: on the docket and it's going to be one of 570 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: the main issues. And I think that Texas actually has 571 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: a really good chance of getting this pass. I mean, 572 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: school choice became even more hot after the past over 573 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: the past three years, when people realize what their children 574 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: were being taught in school. So I am optimistic. I mean, 575 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: we had Arizona passing landmark legislation last year. I think 576 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: more states are going to follow because it's got support 577 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: from everybody. Even people who vote Democrat want school choice. 578 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: It's really the far left progressives who want the government 579 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: to decide where in how our children are educated, which 580 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: should be a surprise to absolutely nobody. All right, Jeff, 581 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk about your book because it's called 582 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: Chasing Liberty, and obviously liberty is something that is disappearing, 583 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: and just to be frank, I see it disappearing, and 584 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: as much as it saddens me, I see it as 585 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: being inevitable. Was the left has become more authoritarian, the 586 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: right will inevitably become more authoritarian, and freedom is us 587 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: one of those things that is being stamped out. That's 588 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: how I see it. But it's your book, tell me 589 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, So, I mean, and you and I 590 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: have talked about this for a long time, and I've 591 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people are becoming disenchanted with the Republican 592 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: Party because what's happening, Jesse, is people are waking up 593 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: to the reality that, you know, when you elect a Republican, 594 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: when they win, it doesn't necessarily mean that we win. 595 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: There isn't enough of a difference between Republicans and Democrats, 596 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: especially at the federal level, to really justify, you know, 597 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: voting for them and thinking that that's a victory. So 598 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: I went through a little bit of a political dark 599 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: knight of the soul after these past mid terms. I 600 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: found myself surprisingly voting for more Libertarians than Republicans. And 601 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about here isn't necessarily party. It's about 602 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: putting liberty over Party. I think it's time for us, 603 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: and I've heard you talk about this many times. It's 604 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: time to start focusing local and state level. The federal 605 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: government is gone, and the only way to nullify or 606 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: to push back against what they're trying to do is 607 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: to get the right people in office. So this year 608 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: and next year and beyond, I'm going to be focusing 609 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: on local candidates who are liberty focused. I don't care 610 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: what letter they have next to their name. If their 611 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: goal is to lessen the impact of the government, then 612 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: I can rock with them. So in this book, I'm 613 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 1: telling the story of how I came to this conclusion, 614 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: because it's really it was really years in the making. Previously. 615 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a content creator, I write, I do commentary, 616 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: and my goal was really to try to push the 617 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 1: Republican Party to actually do what it says it does, 618 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: get them to live up to their values. And I 619 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: was using my voice to that effect. And there still are, 620 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: we still need those, But after a while I just 621 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: got tired of it. I'm like, Okay, I can't mess 622 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: with this party anymore. It's not going to work. I 623 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: hate to say that they're beyond reform, but they need 624 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: more pressure. So for me, this book is about how 625 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: I made that journey, but I'm also using that story 626 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: to make the case for liberty and focusing on liberty, 627 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: especially at the local level. It's not going to be 628 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: a sprint like that. We're talking about getting people in 629 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: positions at the local level over the next probably decades 630 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: before it can start bubbling up to state and then 631 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: maybe to federal. But you can do a lot of 632 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: good by making sure that you're electing a liberty focus 633 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: people for sheriff, city council, mayor, and other local offices. 634 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: People forget about sheriff. Sheriff is the top law enforcement 635 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 1: officer in your life. Everybody remember that sheriff sheriff? All right, Jeff. 636 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: Libertarianism obviously, I have my love with it and my 637 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: criticisms of it. I think it's the most wonderful form 638 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: of government, but I also think it's not anti communist. 639 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: That has always been my problem with it is it's defensive, 640 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: and I like defensive, but defensive doesn't do you any 641 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: good when the freaking communies have control of everything. How 642 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: do we merge those two worlds. I want government to 643 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: be teeny tiny, but it ain't teeny tiny How do 644 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: we stop the people who want to make it big 645 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: in a opressive to you and me? You know, I 646 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: was talking about this yesterday. I think the key is 647 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: to get control, which I get political power, get political control, 648 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: and then unload the gun. The government is a gun, 649 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are saying, oh, we need 650 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: to use a government against the Communis, and then the 651 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: communies will use it against us. My thing is take 652 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: the bullets out of the gun. You get power, and 653 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: then you weaken the government as much as possible so 654 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: that even if it isn't somebody else's control, they cannot 655 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: use it to enact tyranny on the rest of the populace. 656 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 1: And you were right about the whole growing authoritarianism thing. 657 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: And it's not just on the left, it's on the right. 658 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: It's about seeing that this isn't really a battle of 659 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: left versus right per se. It's about authoritarianism versus liberty. 660 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: And that's how we have to look at it. So 661 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: to answer your question, that's why I think the local 662 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: focus is important right now. I mean because a lot 663 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: of you don't have a lot of liberty minded people 664 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: in Congress, whether they have an R or dnext to 665 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: the name. There's a very few, but it's easier to 666 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: get those people elected locally so that they can practice 667 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: nullification using the Tenth Amendment. As that influence starts to grow, 668 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: then you start taking over the states and you can 669 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: even focus on the states now, and then hopefully the 670 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: federal government can be shrunk too. But it's not going 671 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: to be an easy road. It's going to take a 672 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: long time. We're not talking about a decade here. We 673 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: might not even be alive to see it if it works. 674 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: But I think that's the best shot that we have 675 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: right now because focusing on the federal government, it's already 676 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: gone it. It It doesn't matter who you elect, they're going 677 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: to still grow the government. Don't disagree there, okay, Jeff. 678 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: The federal government sucks and our politicians suck, and all 679 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: those things are one hundred percent facts. But I've to 680 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: maybe this is too cynical, Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe you 681 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: can talk me off the ledge. I've come to the 682 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: realization that the American people themselves don't really crave freedom. Now. 683 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: They'd like to say it, they'd like to sing it, 684 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: they'd like to put their hand over their heart, and 685 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: they like to see the jets fly over in the 686 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: flag waving and eat hot dogs on the Fourth of July. 687 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: But they don't actually want freedom because they don't know tyranny. 688 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: We've never known tieranny, so we don't have any appreciation 689 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 1: for freedom, and that we don't want it. Am I wrong? No? 690 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: I don't think you are, unfortunately, But I would say 691 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: the white pill is that we don't need to get 692 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: every single person on board. Right, there will be people 693 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: who don't want liberty. They can go to states where 694 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: they don't get liberty. I mean, we talk about a 695 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: national divorce. I think it's already happening. Look at all 696 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: the people moving out of California, moving out of New 697 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: York and other states to places like Texas, Florida and others. 698 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: I think I think if we get enough people to 699 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: create that tipping point, then those who don't want liberty, 700 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: they can figure out a way to to say govern 701 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: me harder, daddy, and live under that. But the rest 702 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: of us shouldn't be forced to live under that. So 703 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: I think that yes, a lot of people don't want liberty, 704 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 1: they say they do, even on the right, but I 705 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: think that there are there are more people waking up 706 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: to this stuff, and I get messages from people almost 707 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: every day. I get letters from from from readers saying, 708 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: you know, I used to be a Republican, but they're 709 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: not about liberty. I can't support them anymore. What do 710 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: I do? I think we're going to see more of 711 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: that as time goes on. So I do think that 712 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, it'll get worse before it 713 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: gets better. But the worse it gets, the more people 714 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 1: are going to get fed up. Jeff, where can people 715 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: get this book Chasing Liberty? Yeah, so you can get 716 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: it on my sub stack at Chasing Liberty. They'll they'll 717 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: be the links there.
