WEBVTT - Hunter Biden Is An Absurd Selfish Mess

<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:08.280

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I've told you all along you cannot trust these bureaucracies.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>You cannot trust institutions in this country anymore because so

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>many of them have been overtaken by left wing idealogues.

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 1>That's the case when you talk about the news media

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>has been for a long time. It's also now very

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>apparent when you look at the major bureaucracies out there,

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>you look at what's going on with institutions like the

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>CDC right, So it's gone beyond just the private sector wokeness.

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>It's gone beyond college campuses and universities that have Marxist

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>running all over the place. Now what should be nonpartisan

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>government federal government institutions are provinces of the left effectively

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and are working for progressive and woke ideology in whatever

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>way they can. This is a major challenge. This is

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a threat to our freedoms and liberty. It's when we

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>have to take very seriously. But you also have to

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>focus on what's going on online these days, and as

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, the internet never forgets. And there's never been

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.119
<v Speaker 1>a more important time to protect your Internet activity than

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>right now, given all the politicization and all the ways

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>that big tech are punishing people. That's why I urge

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you to get Express VPN. Everything you search for, a watch,

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>or click online can be tracked by big tech companies.

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>They can match your activity to your true identity using

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>your devices unique IP address. When I switch on Express VPN,

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>my computer, my phone, whatever it is I'm using has

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a masked IP address. Makes it a lot harder for

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>websites to identify me. Use Express VPN and up to

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>five devices simultaneously. It's so easy to use. You download

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the app, you'll have it set up in a minute.

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Stop handing over your data to big tech companies. Go

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>with the VPN I trust for online protection. Is it

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been warning you all along that the CDC was

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>going to get addicted to all the power and influence

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's had. This is an institution, This is an

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>organization of the federal government that has been largely resigned

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to putting out flu advisory notices. You know, once in

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a while, they'll they'll be an ebola scare, or they'll

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>be a haunt of virus outbreak somewhere, and they'll they'll

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>call someone of the CDC for comment on the news.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>But generally speaking, the CDC was something that you mostly

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>knew about because in zombie apocalypse movies or in some

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, some some sci fi thriller, the CDC would

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>make an appearance right the show The Strain, for example,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and the hero as a CDC scientist. It's actually a

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>good show. I think it holds up pretty well for

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>what it is. But now we see that, just like

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>all the other federal bureaucracies, the CDC is involved in

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>not just partisan politics, but in progressive politics, in Marxist

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>identity politics, and it doesn't want to step away. As

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the COVID pandemic slowly fades, it's going to be a long,

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>painful extrication from the overlords that we have now at

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the CDC telling us what we can do, where we

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>can shop, whether we can go and breathe fresh air

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>outside without some smelly rag across our face. Right, that's

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>not going to be an easy process in and of itself,

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But the CDC wants to be involved in the national conversation.

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>That's why they have Rachelle will Lenski is the director. Now,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>this is somebody who is a progressive and a left

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean she is, I assure you, entirely in line

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>with all of the political positions of a prime time

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC host. And if you were to sit down, Robin

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>will Lenski of the CDC, I'm sorry, Rochelle will Lenski

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of the CDC is somebody who would believe and of

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.799
<v Speaker 1>course a woman's right to choose, meaning terminate a pregnancy

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>for all nine months. She believes, I'm sure in all

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>of the whole panoply of transgender rights, even the ones

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that are being created as I'm still sitting here speaking

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to you, I'm sure she believes in giving puberty blocking

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>drugs to ten year olds who think that they're a

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>different gender than they are. Whatever it may be, find

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>a left wing issue, and the head of the CDC,

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure all the people around her too, because

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>these are science bureaucrats. Who do you think goes to

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>work for the CDC, people that are really going to

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>cure cancer, or people who want to be working in

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the government. You went to med school for four years

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and then did your residency, or you have a PhD

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>in microbiology and you want to go work at this

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>at the CDC so you can do what exactly if

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you're really good generally speaking, aren't you going to go

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 1>to big pharma. Aren't you gonna actually work at a

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>place where they're coming up with new drugs that save

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>people's lives, sup pointing the South folks as we all

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>sit around worshiping Saint fauci As that this guy knows anything.

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>But here they are weighing in today, we're still in

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the midst of this COVID pandemic. It's fading out, but

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of cases still, and people are

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>dying every day, and you've had a real spike in

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>cases in places like New York in Michigan, which we'll

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about more later. Yet they're immediately shifting focus because

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to lose the ability to be front

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and center in the public conversation. They're shifting focus here

0:05:52.400 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to racism as an urgent public health threat. Now, there

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of ways that we could tackle this conversation.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>You can get into this, but let me just give

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you a sense of This is the statement from Rachelle Wilenski, MDMPH,

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here's

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>what she writes. The COVID nineteen pandemic has resulted in

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the depth of over five hundred thousand Americans. Tens of

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>millions have been infected, and across the country people are suffering. Importantly,

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 1>these painful, etc. Etc. Okay, the disparities seen over the

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>past year were not a result of COVID nineteen. Instead,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>revealed for all of America, unknown but often unaddressed epidemic

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>affecting impacting public health racism. Wow, the real public health epidemic,

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess is in COVID, the one that we're gonna

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>have to struggle with for generations. The real public health

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>epidemic is racism. Think about this, How is racism a

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>public health epidemic? Where can we can we isolate racism

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in a Petrie dish? Can we actually do a test

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>for you? Know, antibiotic resistance when it comes to racism,

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and what are we really talking about here. No, this

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>is the transference of a supposed institution of science which

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>is really just a massive government bureaucracy that's a tremendous

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>amount of sloth, waste, and abuse, and it's been catastrophically

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>inept during the COVID pandemic. Let's remind ourselves of that.

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Remember when in the early days messed up all the testing,

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>The CDC messed up the testing. And also, who is

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>telling you at the beginning, guys, testing for this disease

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>is just one of a hundred steps to try to

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>deal with this. But there was such a focus on

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it because it was it turned into it was Trump's

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>fault that the tests in the early days weren't coming

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>out and the numbers that they needed them to, meaning

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>they weren't producing enough of these tests. Anyway, the CDC

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>has been an abject failure. They were they didn't have

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the backbone, the institutional backbone to say, sorry, lazy teachers, unions,

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the schools should be open, all of them always. There

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was no reason to shut down K through twelve education. Ever,

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>in this country, the data never supported it. It was

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>never reasonable. CDC too cowardly to do that, because did

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you think that if you took a poll of CDC employees,

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 1>what ninety five percent of them voted for Joe Biden.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what I would guess about ninety five percent. And

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>if you wonder where I get these statistics from, if

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you look at the federal government and federal government bureaucrat

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>donations in the Hillary Trump campaign, guess what, over ninety

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>percent went to Hillary Clinton. So you've got a whole

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>bunch of CNN watching leftists working at the CDC, and

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>now they want to get in on the next big challenge,

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>race as a public health threat. And you know they

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>cite for they cite in this health data about life expectancy,

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>they cite that white Americans live longer than black, black,

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and Hispanic Americans on average. And so this is racism.

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>It has to be racism, they say, Right, what's so

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>fascinating is do you think that white Americans have the

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>longest life expectancy because you know, white supremacy. When they

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about racism, the only racism they're fighting against. It's

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>not Black on Asian racism, it's not Hispanic on black

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>racism or or anything else. It's white supremacy. We all

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 1>know that that's the only racism that concerns the left

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>in this country. There is no other racism as far

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>as they're concerned, even racism among other races. They will

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>tell you, and you know this is true, is the

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.959
<v Speaker 1>result of white supremacy. So white people are the are

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the reason for all racism all over the world in fact,

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>which is insane, but that's what the left believes. Somehow,

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Asian American have a considerably higher life expectancy I believe

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>it's over eighty than white Americans do. Which is interesting,

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't it, Because Asian Americans also have higher average household

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>income than white Americans do. But but the system of

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy cannot be We can't say that this is

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>an exaggerated construct of the left. No, no, we all

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>have to bow before the terrors of the white supremacist

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>system that exists all over our country. Look, there's a

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>tremendous amount uh, there's a there's there's a tremendous amount

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>of misinformation out there about all of this. Right, there's

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous amount of people who are sitting around saying,

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, maybe the CDC has actually got

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>this right, and they and they and then as I said,

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>they have to they have to bow down to this

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>notion that white supremacy is influencing all of our institutions.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>It's it's in everything, it's everywhere, it's all over the place.

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Maybe can we can we have a conversation as to

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>whether that's actually exaggerated and that's harmful and that separates

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>us and that that pulls us apart? Right? Can can

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>we have a conversation about that? Or were not allowed to? No,

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>we're just supposed to accept their premise. We're supposed to

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>accept their premise that even the health disparities from COVID

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>are a function of white supremacy and racism. Structure, structural racism,

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy, these are the same things. They're used interchangeably now.

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>They didn't used to be white supremacy. Used to be

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>guys with you know, neo Nazi tattoos and shaved heads

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>who were you know, really bad people. Now white supremacy

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. There's disparate representation in the you know, MIT

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>electrical engineering program among different ethnic groups, so that looks

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>like white supremacy to me. I mean, it's it's abused

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>all the time. It's abused all the time as a

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>as just a concept now to silence people. And then

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that brings me to the CDC. I've been worried all

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>along that the left has seen something here. The left

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>has seen that if you can terrify people based upon

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>their health, or if you can go for something what's

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>really perhaps the most personal thing for all of us,

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>our health, our ability to enjoy our day to day lives,

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and to stay alive, and this is a really effective

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>means of control. This is a really effective means of

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>getting people to do whatever you want them to do.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this during the pandemic. I've said, they're going

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to go from the public health emergency to the climate

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>change emergency, They're going to go from the They're going

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to go from the public health emergency to the gun

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>violence emergency, which they've already done. And in fact, as

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, the CDC always wants to study gun violence

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>as that the CDC has a role in this, but

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it's using a large federal bureaucracy under the guise of

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>health to control you. And they say that this is

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>now all about racism because then all these equity challenges

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>all across the country. It turns into listen to the science.

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what they'll say, listen to the science. And as

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we all know, that hasn't been true about their approach

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to COVID, it's definitely not going to be true about

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>their approach to what they call now white supremacy, which

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>is it's almost hard, it's hard to define. It's whatever

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the left decides it is, and now it's whatever the CDC,

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the Centers for Disease Control decides it is. Perhaps we

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>should call it the Centers for Racism Control. Now you

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 1>got in this CDC statement put out by the director Wilenski,

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>very political obviously if she's going to get that job

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>in the bidenm and we will continue. Sorry, here you go.

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>As the nation's leading public health agency, CDC has a

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>critical role to play to address the impact of racism

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>on public health. To say that there's racism in public

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>health that they never will say who's committing the public

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 1>health racism. That's what I want to know. I want

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to know who's actually doing the racism in public health. Now,

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>if they want to argue that there is an economic

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>disparity for health outcomes. That's absolutely true, and we should

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>look at how that happens, why that happens, where that is.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>But if they're going to say that the racism requires

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>action by individuals, that is immoral. That's what racism has

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to be premised on. That's what racism has to be

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>based on. So who's doing it? Are doctors not treating

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>minority patients because they're racist? Whose fault is it? If

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>one community drinks more sugary soda, for example, and more

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>foods that are likely to tribute to type two diabetes

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>than another, do all ethnic groups in this country actually

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>have the same risks from different diseases? And actually turns

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>out if you look at the numbers, there are some

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>diseases that all of the world disparately affect certain populations

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>based on ethnicity. That's just a genetic reality. Some people,

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>some groups, ethnic groups, national groups are more susceptible to

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>certain diseases. I mean, one that comes to mind is

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>sickle cell anemia, for example. So there actually are some

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>health disparities that are just there that aren't the result

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of racism. It's worth noting that. But how do they

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>expect how's the CDC going to say that we should

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>tackle this. Well, you see an example of it in Vermont.

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>This is from Scientific American Vermont to give minority residence

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>priority for COVID vaccines. This was just just recently. States

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>have tribe with limited success to get vaccines to people

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of color who have been disproportionately killed and hospitalized by

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the virus. Starting Thursday, Vermont explicitly gave black adults and

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>people from other minority communities priority status for vaccinations. It

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>follows Montana, which in January announced that Native Americans other

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>people of color, because they're at higher risk of complications

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>from COVID nineteen, would be allowed to receive the vaccine.

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>All Black, Indigenous residents and other people of color who

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 1>are permanent Vermont residence and sixteen or older are eligible

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>for the vaccine. Okay, so we're actually now prioritizing people

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>for life saving for what we all understand as a

0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>life saving vaccine based upon skin color. That is happening

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>in America today. You think that this is the beginning

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of this, or you think that this is just a

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>one off. You think that they're going to do more

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of this, or they're going to do less of this

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>going forward, Right, this. When I say this, I mean

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>using race as a means of making distinctions about health

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that really matter, distinctions about public health authorities and states,

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>sources and ways that really matter. You know, what, would

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it have been fair? I mean I had to help

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 1>my family members. I had to help my parents get vaccinated.

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>They're both seniors or my mom's close to being a senior.

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I had to help them get appointments and figure out

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>and it was not easy for them at all. Would

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I resent the idea that people who are younger than

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 1>my parents but are of a of a preferred by

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the CDC racial category would go ahead of them, even

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.160
<v Speaker 1>though the risk, as we know, is first and foremost

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 1>determined by age. Yeah, I think that that's a problem.

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 1>I think that's racism. But that's not the way that

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the left sees this at all. They are pulling us apart.

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>They are Marxist identity politics obsessed. That's what's happening now

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>across the country, and that's what's happening with the CDC's

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>involvement in all of this. And you know they're they're

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.880
<v Speaker 1>they're doing things at CDC like here's here's how they're

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 1>tackling this, right, let's ask about what are they really doing.

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We're expand ending our internal agency efforts to foster greater

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>diversity and create an inclusive and affirming environment that's going

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to save a lot of lives. Yeah, I'm sure the

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>CDC is going to be really successful in that we're

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 1>launching a new web portal Racism and Health as part

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>of our ongoing commitment to serve as a catalyst for

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>public and scientific discourse around racism and health and to

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.199
<v Speaker 1>be accountable for our progress. Oh, I'm sure they're going

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to be really accountable. Here's how they finish off this statement.

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Confronting the impact of racism will not be easy. I

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>know we can meet this challenge. I know we can

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>create an America where all people have the opportunity to

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 1>live a healthy lifestyle when we each take responsibility and

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>work together. I am committed to this work. I certainly

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>helpe you will lean in and join me. This is

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>all just, this is all just the same stuff that

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 1>you see, the kind of you know, Marxist equity babble

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that you see from college and university admissions offices. I mean,

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>they're really pushing very hard on this notion that I'm

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 1>America is this really evil, racist country, and that there

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>is no in fact equal protection under the law. The

0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.919
<v Speaker 1>law has to be making constant distinctions between people based

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>upon race. This is an enormous moral regression. This is

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:21.400
<v Speaker 1>absolutely wrong. This is absolutely going in the wrong direction.

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And it started with smaller things like, oh, a little

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>bit of affirmative action in school is a little bit

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of firmative action and hiring. Now you've got states that

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.640
<v Speaker 1>are saying, oh, you're black or Latino, you get priority

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>access to a vaccine over other people, including other people

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>who are at higher risk because of their age and comorbidities,

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 1>because equity. It's actually happening in this country right now

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>in America. The Biden administrations, of course pushing all this

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff as much as they possibly can. That's right, rich

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>old white guy Joe Biden is trying to convince America

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:57.719
<v Speaker 1>he's so concerned with equity. Sure he is. It's a fraud, friends,

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>but unfortunately it's when we're going to have to fight

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 1>back against because this is just the beginning. The CDC

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 1>as a woke agency is a reality. You really got

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to fight to get to the truth. These days, the

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.439
<v Speaker 1>media is lying to you all the time, more than ever,

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but it is worse. I just want to say that

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>it's worse than it's ever been. And also, people are

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 1>more politically locked into their beliefs and they've ever been before.

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>People are more certain that whatever whatever they're saying is

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the only proper way of and I'm talking about even

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the words they use, but just their positions as well.

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 1>We are in a polarized and ossified political environment unlike

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>anything that's ever been before in my lifetime. It's existed

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 1>in the past, but it's gotten worse. It keeps getting worse.

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>And you see this even over the gun control issue,

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>in the way that Joe Biden is talking about gun

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>control and you say, hold on a second, why is

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>he coming up with this? And he's had so much

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 1>time with all these different advisors and people that are

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 1>actually writing these speeches and the legislation in Congress, and

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 1>he lies about stuff, and we're supposed to think that

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not a big problem, Like it's not an issue

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.159
<v Speaker 1>that when it comes to a constitutionally protected right, you

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.879
<v Speaker 1>have the President of the United States saying things that

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>are just not true, and then if you bring that up,

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>people yell at you like you're a bad person. The

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:31.120
<v Speaker 1>truth will get you in trouble. Well, the good news

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 1>is there are other people out there like you who

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>share your beliefs and you know this. But if you

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 1>try to share your political opinions on social media lately,

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to have a civil conversation. Luckily, there's Caucus

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:47.240

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you walk into a store and you buy a gun,

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you have a background check, but you go to a

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>gun show, you can buy whatever you want, no background check.

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Not true? Does anybody care anymore when things are not

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>true when Joe Biden says them, or when a Democrat

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 1>says them, or oh, I know, we can apply that

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Don Lemon standard, which is well Trump lied so much

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that no lies matter anymore. Now I don't I don't

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:16.160
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. I don't agree with any of that,

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.159
<v Speaker 1>but that's the standard they're trying to apply now to

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 1>cover up for Amtrak. Joe. You know, here, I am them.

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:27.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna you know, I'm just gonna say the stuff.

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:32.919
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm no joke, friends, you know, just

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of little breathy, a little a little bit of

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>stop and start listen to me, because I'm so earnest,

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 1>such a such a straight shooter, not like a gun shooter,

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like a different kind of shooter. It's not true that

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you can go to a gun show and buy a

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>gun without a background check. As a matter of policy,

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not the case. If you're a federally licensed firearms

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.880
<v Speaker 1>dealer at a gun show, you will run a background check.

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So when Joeiden says that you can just go to

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>a gun show and buy one, that's not true. There

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:07.119
<v Speaker 1>are some wiggle room in the law for hobbyists and

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:12.640
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasts who aren't engaged in selling guns as a as

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>their business who are at a gun show, But the

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming majority, it turns out, of people that go to

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.239
<v Speaker 1>gun shows and buy a gun will actually have to

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>pass a background check. There's a whole other part of

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.719
<v Speaker 1>this argument too that I think is worth noting, and

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of really bad people can pass background checks.

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>If somebody has a criminal background, they're gonna know that,

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:38.879
<v Speaker 1>and they're very likely to ignore whatever the gun laws

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 1>are if they want to get a gun. But a

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of other people, including people that have severe mental

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 1>illness or are going to go on some kind of

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a shooting spree, they when you look at it, they

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>would pass. They do pass background checks a lot of

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the time. So I understand that there are a lot

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>of security measures. I'm not one of these people that's

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 1>going to pret and that there's no need for things

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 1>that aren't one hundred percent effective, right, I mean, this

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>is what the left does with vaccines. Now, well it's

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:09.160
<v Speaker 1>not one hundred percent, so you still have to mask

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>up what that's crazy? Sorry, not one hundred percent? All right,

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>they're playing games here. Yes, vaccines are incredibly effective at

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:20.120
<v Speaker 1>preventing the virus from being spread as well as individuals

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>from getting it. It's not perfect. I understand that you

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>can make a case that background checks are are going

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to work sometimes, and they do work sometimes in stopping

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 1>people from getting farms. But let's also not overstate the

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 1>fact that a lot of mass shooters pass background checks.

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So you know, you're you're throwing a bunch of things

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 1>at this in the hopes that it's going to reduce

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 1>violence in a meaningful way. And what you really get

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>with the background check stuff, for the most part, is

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be the if it saves just one life mentality,

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>which is not how we make policy. If it saves

0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 1>one life is the basis for a truly irannical government.

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Because think of all the ways anyone who's going to

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>argue with me on this one. The speed limits should

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>be ten miles an hour. We would save tens of

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>thousands of lives a year. It's true, ten mile an hour.

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>What you have to go so fast? What your business

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:17.920
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't function anymore? Too bad, it'll save lives. We don't

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>do that, do we, Although I worry these days that

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the mentality in the era of COVID has changed so

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.119
<v Speaker 1>much that people would say, yeah, actually, you know, we

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 1>probably should have a ten mile a ten mile per

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>hour speed limit. You know, I think we actually should

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>have that. So the gun show thing is not true.

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>But more importantly, you get to the underlying philosophy of

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden and his underlying philosophy of the Constitution. Here's

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 1>what he says, play too their phony arguments suggesting that

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.120
<v Speaker 1>these are Second Amendment rights at stake for what we're

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about. But no amendment, no amendment to the Constitution

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>is absolute. Isn't that so interesting? Because the only amendment

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Constitution, and this is just obvious, the only

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 1>amendment of the Constitution that Democrats believe is absolute is

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the right to an abortion, which is not in an amendment,

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>nor is it in the Constitution. But there can be

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 1>no restrictions on it whatsoever, no limitations whatsoever. They will

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>fight any number of things that have come forward that

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>including making abortion centers have doctors with admitting privileges at

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 1>a hospital. Democrats, they left, will fight against that like crazy,

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.719
<v Speaker 1>including saying that you need to have a surgical grade

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:47.879
<v Speaker 1>medical center to be performing abortions. Democrats will fight against that.

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:51.399
<v Speaker 1>So even what we would call safety measures for abortions,

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:55.639
<v Speaker 1>never mind stopping of abortions, they will do everything they

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:57.640
<v Speaker 1>can to stop. They'll do everything they can to shut

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that down, and unfortunately they're very successful in it. They

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 1>are abortion absolutists. That is true of Democrats, that is

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 1>true of the left. So that's one thing they do

0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:12.119
<v Speaker 1>believe in. And it's just ironic that the only amendment

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that they believe is absolute is the one that doesn't exist,

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>or the only constitutional right, which is the right to

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>an abortion, which does not exist. And they can continue

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 1>with this lie as long as they want, but it's absurd.

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And then you have something else that I thought about,

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 1>where Biden pulled the fire in a crowded theater line.

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.919
<v Speaker 1>It's remarkable Democrats keep doing this. I mean a lot

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>of politicians and Republicans will do this too. Sometimes fire

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>in a crowded theater comes from a Supreme Court decision

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Shank v. United States, where the Supreme Court wrongly held

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 1>that a person passing out flyers, a socialist pacifist who

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>was opposed to the First World War, passing out flyers

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>against the draft and against Woodrow Wilson, who was a tyrant,

0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, against Woodrow Wilson's desire to enter the

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 1>US in the First World War, clearly protected political speech

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that that was quote, the equivalent of yelling fire in

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a crowded theater. So Democrats think this is clever. Biden

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 1>thinks this is clever to say, well, there are limitations

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>on rights like yelling fire in a crowded theater, and

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>he actually cites a a pseudo intellectual justification for the

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>tyrannical shutdown of speech, because that's what that actually refers to.

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:37.240
<v Speaker 1>But you just never you never expect democrats when they speak,

0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>when they speak about the Constitution. I will just say this,

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit like when Democrat politicians speak about

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bible. You can they're always they're always a little uncomfortable.

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>There's always a little bit, you know, you know, a

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>little blue collar joe here. I'm just you know, doing

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 1>my thing, and you know, I get kind of folks here,

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, get little breath here, and you

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>know something, you know, four score and on the seventh day,

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and the thing, you know, they just kind of mutter

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 1>off into nonsense because ultimately Democrats believe that the Constitution

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is a question of utility. They actually don't think that.

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 1>They're that, you know, they don't think that there are

0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>universal truths that the founding fathers saw in those documents

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and in the document the Constitution, and in the Bill

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 1>of Rights that are more important than whatever the Democrat

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>agenda of the moment may be. Shared principle doesn't matter.

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Look at how we've switched from a country that wants

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 1>equality to a country that now wants equity, which is

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>just this is just a pathway to Marxism. If this

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 1>means the same ends, you get what the state says,

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you can have as much as possible. Make that true.

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Not the state will treat you and another person equally

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>under the law. You have the same recourse to the law,

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you will have the same protections under law. And then

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it's let the best man win. We have a great

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 1>society because we are willing to have an unequal society.

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>We are not equal in terms of talents, we are

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>not equal in terms of hard work, of intelligence, of

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, beauty, of health, of all kinds of things.

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not fair. Life is never going to be fair.

0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>But a government that tries to create a utopian society

0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>by having absolute control, we see what this does, and

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it results in misery. It results in in the shared

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>shared misery. As a Churchill and it there's always a

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Churchill quote. There's always a Churchill quote when you need one.

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, and socialism is

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the unequal sharing of misery, or rather the equal sharing

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of misery. You can't mess up your Churchill quote. That's

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 1>not good. But here we have one of these times

0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>where you see very clearly the Democrat agenda, lady before you,

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and on guns, on health, on all of these things.

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what argument we make. They've decided they

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 1>want these things. They have an emotional impulse to get it,

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to get it done. And that's why you just you

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:27.040
<v Speaker 1>see that it all all the facts and figures that

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you can put forward it falls on deaf ears, doesn't matter.

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:34.280
<v Speaker 1>It's already decided in their minds. So it's very, very

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>challenging to see this as anything other than a power

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>grab when you actually get into the facts and figures

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>with Democrats on gun control, and it's not going to

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 1>save us, meaning it's not going to save a lot

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 1>of lives, it's not going to deal with the enormous

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>gun violence surge last year. The gun violence surge was

0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the result of undermining law enforcement and emboldening criminals, which

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>was all part of a left wing narrative that America

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.560
<v Speaker 1>is a racist place and the cops are racist, and

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that there's a justification for the destruction of businesses and

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:16.440
<v Speaker 1>rioting in neighborhoods because of that, that's what led to

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the worst murder rates we've seen in this country in

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>over twenty years. But no, instead, we're going to talk

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 1>about ghost guns. We're going to talk about how we

0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 1>can have some change made to to guns at gun shows.

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all this stuff. Oh, we've got a new

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>ATF director who doesn't like the Second Amendment. Okay, that's

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>really going to help, right, This is garbage thinking. But

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration as you've seen there's a lot of

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 1>not just bad policy approaches, but bad faith in the

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 1>way they talk about this and the way they view

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the other side. This all began with the disdainful narrative

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of everyone who voted for Donald Trump was somehow a

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.839
<v Speaker 1>part of the January six insurrection, which wasn't an insurrection.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>And the more we found out about it, the more

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 1>we realized it was. You know, it was a mob

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that got out of control, didn't actually kill any cops,

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and is being treated like it was some kind of

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 1>militia effort to overthrow the United States government when it

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 1>was really a bunch of misled losers who did something

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>very very stupid and very foolish. But that was the

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.960
<v Speaker 1>beginning narrative, you see, because the Democrats now they view

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.919
<v Speaker 1>you and me through that lens. So they're not gonna

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 1>listen to us on guns, they're not gonna listen to

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 1>us on COVID, not listen to us on anything. We

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>just get pushed aside, swept away one of those January

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 1>six insurrection supporters. Even though we've been condemning that thing

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole pot, it doesn't matter. They don't care. Said

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a moment ago quote, you go to a gun show,

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.919
<v Speaker 1>you can buy whatever, or you want no background check?

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Is there a special exemption in federal law he's referring to,

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>or just do FLA dealers not have to do background

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>checks when our got a gun show? All right? Are

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you asking me if he was referring it's okay. Were

0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you asking me if he was referring to like a

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:18.959
<v Speaker 1>specific circumstance or I'm sorry to tell me a little

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>bit more about your question. I mean, is it the

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>president's belief that you do not have to undergo a

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:27.239
<v Speaker 1>background check when you are a gun show? No, it's

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 1>not his belief. He believes that gun that background checks

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 1>should be universal. Right, he says no background check. Well,

0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:36.400
<v Speaker 1>we know what his position is, right, so let me

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.239
<v Speaker 1>reiterate that, which is that the gut background checks or

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:42.440
<v Speaker 1>something that should be universal. They're supported by more than

0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 1>eighty percent of the public. He's supported legislation, advocated for that,

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and advocated against loopholes as well. So that's his position,

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and I appreciate you asking for the clarification. Yeah, well

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.719
<v Speaker 1>that's really interesting, Jen Saki, another sake bomb dropped here

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.800
<v Speaker 1>because he said very clearly we all heard Joe Biden

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:03.480
<v Speaker 1>before he said that you can go to a back

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you can go to a gun show, no background check.

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 1>That was no background check, that was the quote. Not

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:11.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty much always a background check, but maybe under some

0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:13.479
<v Speaker 1>circumstances you might be able to get a farm without

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a background check. That's not what he said. So when

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>she says, we know his position, okay, but what he

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:22.720
<v Speaker 1>said isn't true, and it should matter what the President

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of the United States says on a policy issue like this,

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:28.800
<v Speaker 1>where the facts are really what we are talking about.

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:35.480
<v Speaker 1>The facts are really what's at issue here. Vice President

0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Harris is also out there on the push for gun control.

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Here she is playing nine. Over the course of my career,

0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I have seen gun violence up close. I've looked at

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 1>autopsy photographs. I've seen with my own two eyes what

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a bullet can do to the human body. I've held

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:02.400
<v Speaker 1>hands with the hand of parents who have lost a child.

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I have seen children who are traumatized by the loss

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>of a parent or sibling. And I have fought my

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>entire career to end this violence and to pass reasonable

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 1>gun safety laws. Time and again, as progress has stalled,

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:28.719
<v Speaker 1>we've all asked, what are we waiting for because we

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't waiting for a tragedy. I know that we've had

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>more tragedy than we can bear. We aren't waiting for

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:42.920
<v Speaker 1>solutions either, because the solutions exist, They already exist. People

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of the aisle want action. Real people

0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:54.759
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of the aisle want action. Okay, what

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:59.440
<v Speaker 1>action do we supposedly want? The panning of ghost guns?

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Is the banning of ghost guns? I remember, I'm just

0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 1>wondering if we went down this list. Let's let's take

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:06.319
<v Speaker 1>a look at a city like oh Chicago, which had

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a massive increase in shootings last year, and it's already

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>far too violent as a city. With the banning of

0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:15.279
<v Speaker 1>ghost guns, or the background check provision changes that they want,

0:38:15.960 --> 0:38:23.760
<v Speaker 1>or anything that Biden's talking about, classifying modifications to a pistol,

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 1>so that'll be a short barrel rifle and you'll have

0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:28.879
<v Speaker 1>to register it under the National Firearms Act. Would any

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of that stop a single one of the shootings in

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Chicago last year? Let's just take that as a as

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>as one point here. Would any of them do that?

0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the answer. I bet the answer is

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:42.200
<v Speaker 1>less than one percent of those shootings would have been

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 1>affected by those things. But this is the action we

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>have to take. This is what we have to do.

0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It's about so much more than that. There's a fundamental

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 1>philosophical difference between the left and the right on the

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 1>issue of guns. They think that guns are a little

0:38:56.280 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 1>private rebellion in the hands of individual American citizens and

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 1>they cannot abide it. And we think that that little

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>private rebellion that each one of us has by essentially

0:39:09.200 --> 0:39:11.719
<v Speaker 1>having the opportunity to tell the state there is a

0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:13.839
<v Speaker 1>line that you shall not cross. There is a break

0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:17.759
<v Speaker 1>against tyranny. There's a bulwark against tyranny that has an

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 1>individual hands, which is the right to bear arms. That's

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:26.919
<v Speaker 1>very important to this country. You know, advanced sophisticated democracies

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in the past, with a high standard of living and

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>have gone fully tyrannical. They did not have an armed population.

0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>We have an armed population, and we wanted to stay

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that way. Democrats want to create registries and harass lawful

0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:46.840
<v Speaker 1>gun owners in every way they can change the culture,

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:50.880
<v Speaker 1>change everything about the gun ownership reality in this country

0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 1>so that they put it on a glide path to eradication.

0:39:55.920 --> 0:40:00.319
<v Speaker 1>That's what's really separating the two sides. Sarsani time friend

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:04.239
<v Speaker 1>David Harsani from National Review dot Com is joining us

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>right now to talk about guns and maybe even some

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden stuff if we've got the time. David, great

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to have you. Let's jump right to this man. This

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:16.279
<v Speaker 1>seems to me like it is absolutely as predictable as

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:18.720
<v Speaker 1>anything could be the Biden administration. We're a few months

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:22.600
<v Speaker 1>in and we're having it's the same gun control debate

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:26.440
<v Speaker 1>we had under the Obama administration. Time and again. They

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 1>never give up. I'll give them credit for that. Yeah,

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about that about that the other day,

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:33.440
<v Speaker 1>about how I'm constantly I feel like I'm writing the

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 1>same thing over and over again. But it's really not

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.480
<v Speaker 1>my fault because they keep coming back with the same

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:42.879
<v Speaker 1>exact arguments, the same exact policy proposals. Actually they're getting

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a little worse. Like Biden said a lot of particulous

0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 1>things the other day that are completely false. I mean,

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 1>their lies about gun shows, you know, not having to

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:55.200
<v Speaker 1>have a background check when you buy guns at gun shows,

0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:59.040
<v Speaker 1>about are fifteens about everything. So I'm not sure exactly

0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 1>why they're doing this because it seems unlikely the legislation

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:04.160
<v Speaker 1>will pass, but it definitely will rile up gun owners

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 1>will probably see another huge spiking gun owner you know,

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>people buying guns. If the manufacturers can keep up with it,

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. And what do you think they really

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:17.319
<v Speaker 1>hope to accomplish by this? I mean, if we were

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 1>we were able to sit in in a meeting in

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the Oval, let's say, with Kamala and Joe and you

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>know the Ron Klaine. Is this to drive up the

0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Democrat bases enthusiasm for this administration and just to drive

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:36.400
<v Speaker 1>up donations or do you think that they really believe

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to because I mean my thing is,

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>even if they got these things, no one who understands

0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the numbers and the statistics thinks that a change in

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>ghost guns is going to bring down the violence rate

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:51.520
<v Speaker 1>or you'd be able to show how this is actually

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:55.759
<v Speaker 1>saving lives. So what do they think they accomplish with this? Well?

0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it's two things. First of all, I think

0:41:57.400 --> 0:41:59.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of pressure from left wing groups to

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:02.240
<v Speaker 1>do some things, so they decide to, you know, pretend

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:06.239
<v Speaker 1>they're doing something ghost guns. You know, when you're when

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you're going the executive order route, there's only someone you

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 1>can do. It's unconstitutional to limit people, you know, AAR

0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:14.200
<v Speaker 1>fifteens or whatever. So they're trying to sort of nibble

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>at the edges to allow people to get excited about

0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:20.920
<v Speaker 1>them doing something. The second part is if they do something,

0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 1>if they somehow get something through the point, you know,

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.279
<v Speaker 1>AAR fifteens are used in only a small fraction of

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:28.959
<v Speaker 1>murders in the United States. But if they get something through,

0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:32.759
<v Speaker 1>it's incrementalism and they want to take your guns. I

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 1>have zero doubt about that. And they're just trying to

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.920
<v Speaker 1>figure out ways in which they can move forward, constantly,

0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:41.800
<v Speaker 1>move forward. I am you know, I'm against any like

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:44.279
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter what I'm forward, but I'm against any

0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 1>legislation that moves forward more gun control. We have forty

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:49.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand gun laws on the books. We don't need anymore.

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.640
<v Speaker 1>We need enforcement of gun laws we have. We need

0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.760
<v Speaker 1>someone to investigate Hunter Biden, see why you had a weapon,

0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and why he led on his background check form, and

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 1>why a gun was stored out in a garbage your school,

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for instance. Well, can you, David, we dive into that

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:05.959
<v Speaker 1>because I actually haven't covered that yet on the show,

0:43:06.400 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 1>and so I want this audience to know exactly what

0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:09.839
<v Speaker 1>you're going and we're going to talk about Hunter Biden

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in general and all the stuff that's come out. But

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:14.640
<v Speaker 1>tell everybody what happened with a Hunter Biden gun situation. Well,

0:43:14.680 --> 0:43:16.239
<v Speaker 1>he you know, when you buy a gun, you signed

0:43:16.239 --> 0:43:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a background check. A lot of people don't know that

0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:20.839
<v Speaker 1>because Democrats always lie about it, but you know, eight

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:22.960
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine percent of people buy guns have to go

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 1>through a background check. Every gun has gone through a

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.840
<v Speaker 1>background check, and Hunter Biden has a I believe it

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was just some kind of semi automatic gun that he

0:43:30.160 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>bought at a gun shop, but he lied on his

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 1>background check form because he said that he wasn't I

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:38.879
<v Speaker 1>don't know how it's phrased, but it's doing drugs, right, yeah,

0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:42.759
<v Speaker 1>using drugs that he wasn't doing crack so um and

0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>he was, which is fine, I mean not fine. But

0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:48.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's getting over it, maybe he's in rehab. I

0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know what he is. But he lied on his form,

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 1>which is I believe it might I think it's a felony.

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:56.719
<v Speaker 1>So he's lying to the FBI. So a lot of

0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.919
<v Speaker 1>people lie on those forms and there are very few prosecutions.

0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go after people lying on those forums. Let's go

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 1>after let's tighten up the system. Like in Charleston, the

0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:11.759
<v Speaker 1>local police hadn't informed the FBI that there was criminality.

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:14.800
<v Speaker 1>You know that shooter had done drugs as well. So

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:17.759
<v Speaker 1>um anyway, so I think you know, there are plenty

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 1>laws in the books. We need to tighten those up.

0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for, you know, going after people who lie

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:24.720
<v Speaker 1>on background checks, but we don't need any more laws.

0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 1>And what was the disposing of the gun hunter Biden

0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>near a school or something? What's that? I don't know

0:44:32.719 --> 0:44:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the particulars exactly, but something like I think it feels

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:38.160
<v Speaker 1>like this is just how it feels like after reading

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:41.319
<v Speaker 1>it to me. Or what seems like is that his girlfriend,

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess it is, felt that he was a danger

0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to himself or a danger to others and took the

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 1>gun and just threw it out in a nearby garbage

0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:49.760
<v Speaker 1>which happened to be across the street from a school,

0:44:50.239 --> 0:44:53.839
<v Speaker 1>which is and you can it's it's I'm not sure

0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:55.560
<v Speaker 1>in Delaware what the laws are, but you're not supposed

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 1>to throw out guns in in that way, and I

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:01.359
<v Speaker 1>supposed to dispose of that's that's not a safe I mean,

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:04.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're not supposed to dispose if you're any biotics

0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 1>in the trash, you know, or or any prescripture. I'm

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:09.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure it's supposed to throw a glock in the

0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>trash and just hope that nobody finds it. But um,

0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm speaking of David Harsani of National View here and

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 1>David on the Hunter Biden stuff. So so here's my thing,

0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think you will you alluded to this, this

0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:26.280
<v Speaker 1>feeling or just a couple of moments ago. Yeah, addiction

0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is a very very serious crippling thing, and it ruins families,

0:45:30.120 --> 0:45:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and it is quite sad. I think it's perfectly fine out.

0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's actually just being fair minded to say that, Yeah,

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden is an addict, and that's something that we

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:47.520
<v Speaker 1>can sympathize with. Hunter Biden is also a really narcissistic, spoiled,

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 1>destructive scumbag. And and if if he were Donald Trump's son,

0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:57.440
<v Speaker 1>or even any Republican son for that matter, he wouldn't

0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:00.800
<v Speaker 1>be going on a book tour right now. Jimmy Kimmel

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:05.680
<v Speaker 1>is basically giving him a BackRub on TV. Yeah. I mean,

0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I never or very rarely were write about stories that

0:46:09.440 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 1>have to do with like infidelity or drug use of

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.799
<v Speaker 1>politicians like I just don't do it because we don't

0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 1>really know what the situation is all usually, but here's

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the thing. This is the This is now the president's son,

0:46:19.160 --> 0:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the vice president son who only made a you know

0:46:22.200 --> 0:46:25.839
<v Speaker 1>who made fifty k for a Ukrainian energy firm because

0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of his last name. And we're not allowed to talk

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:31.720
<v Speaker 1>about this sort of thing because it makes the president

0:46:31.800 --> 0:46:34.759
<v Speaker 1>look bad and it's just insane. I mean, if, like

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:37.239
<v Speaker 1>you said, if this was Don Junior or any of

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump's kids, it would be all over the front pages

0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of every newspaper. He's a bad guy. I'm sorry. You know,

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the things he's done are immoral. It's not just the

0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:48.759
<v Speaker 1>drug use that I know addicts and I know that

0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:52.239
<v Speaker 1>people make mistakes and etc. But that's not the case here.

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't seem to have any much remorse about him.

0:46:55.239 --> 0:46:58.480
<v Speaker 1>But moreover, he is benefiting from it still. Now he

0:46:58.520 --> 0:47:02.319
<v Speaker 1>has a book and he's and he's playing himself as

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the victim where you know, a major media institutions aren't

0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:10.200
<v Speaker 1>investigating what he was up to in China, in Ukraine

0:47:10.239 --> 0:47:12.359
<v Speaker 1>and et cetera. They would just not be the same

0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:14.480
<v Speaker 1>for any other president's son. I mean, any at least

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:20.680
<v Speaker 1>any Republicans. It's remarkable as well, David, to see Chris Hayes,

0:47:20.680 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 1>for example, over at MSNBC. Who he's He's I guess

0:47:25.680 --> 0:47:28.680
<v Speaker 1>if you're like a Brooklyn Liberal, you know he's your.

0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:33.240
<v Speaker 1>He is your your, your great champion of progressive causes.

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I've never understood how this guy is

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>someone that people listen to about anything but that's me. Uh.

0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:43.239
<v Speaker 1>He had some tweet about you know, maybe maybe is

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it possible that Hunter Biden's laptop was actually real? And

0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I look at that and I honestly can't come to

0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a conclusion. I can't analyze with certainty in my own head.

0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Is he just really not smart and so he he

0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>doesn't believe that the laptop was it's clearly real. There's

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.560
<v Speaker 1>more information that's come out about it. It's obviously Hunter

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Biden's laptop. If it wasn't, they would have been able

0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:10.839
<v Speaker 1>to bunk it right away. Or is this now kind

0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:13.399
<v Speaker 1>of a game? I mean, is gas lighting on something

0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>like this for people who have large platforms and the

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:20.480
<v Speaker 1>media on the left part of the fun I don't know.

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I think that many times people convinced themselves of things

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:29.520
<v Speaker 1>like the Russians are you know, the Russians planted Hunter's

0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:32.319
<v Speaker 1>laptop with the New York Post. I mean, I still

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:34.560
<v Speaker 1>see people say stuff like that. It's just in saying

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:38.880
<v Speaker 1>that story. Those stories had far more journalistic integrity and

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the people who did them at far more journalistic integrity

0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:44.759
<v Speaker 1>the most stories you see on MSNBC about Russia or

0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:47.200
<v Speaker 1>whatever else. So I don't I don't know what the

0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:49.960
<v Speaker 1>answer to that is, but it's it's increasingly clear now

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:51.839
<v Speaker 1>we you and I knew this, and we talked about

0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:54.080
<v Speaker 1>it at the time, that those stories were censored on

0:48:54.200 --> 0:48:57.040
<v Speaker 1>purpose to help one, you know, one candidate when the presidency.

0:48:57.280 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It's corrupt, the media's corrupt. I refuse to say things

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:04.720
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of course, even if it will benefit

0:49:04.880 --> 0:49:07.920
<v Speaker 1>my my you know, I'm a registered Republican, even will

0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:10.680
<v Speaker 1>benefit the Republican Party, it'll I refuse to say things

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that make me feel like I'm a moron. And I

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:15.799
<v Speaker 1>don't see that among very prominent people on the left.

0:49:15.840 --> 0:49:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I went on on a tario recently because

0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:23.640
<v Speaker 1>on Joe Scarborough Show on MSNBC in the morning, he

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 1>went on this whole thing about how you know, vaccine

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:30.840
<v Speaker 1>denialism is for moron Trump supporters and like they're a

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:34.440
<v Speaker 1>bunch of you know, toothless rubes who are drinking their

0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:37.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, Budweiser at Nascar. I mean it is just

0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:40.279
<v Speaker 1>he clearly makes us about anybody who was a question

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:44.759
<v Speaker 1>about or vaccine hesitancy is some idiot Trump supporter when

0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, in reality, the biggest vaccine hesitancy bulge in

0:49:50.200 --> 0:49:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the demographics is among minorities. But you know, it's like

0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:56.480
<v Speaker 1>he's not embarrassed to say something that's just so very

0:49:56.600 --> 0:49:59.719
<v Speaker 1>stupid because it serves the purpose in the moment. Yeah,

0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean it depends. So I think that a lot

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of people on the left who are smart, you know,

0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:07.880
<v Speaker 1>as far as their IQ goes, or will do anything

0:50:07.960 --> 0:50:10.560
<v Speaker 1>because they feel like Republicans are evil and anything is

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:13.240
<v Speaker 1>fine to say as long as it, you know, helps

0:50:13.280 --> 0:50:15.560
<v Speaker 1>them achieve the goals that they want. I think there

0:50:15.600 --> 0:50:17.640
<v Speaker 1>are other people like Joe Scarborough, who is just not

0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 1>very bright to begin with, but also it will say

0:50:21.640 --> 0:50:24.640
<v Speaker 1>anything for ratings and will say anything that people want

0:50:24.680 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to hear wherever he is. I mean, when he was

0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>running in Florida, you know, he pretended to be this

0:50:28.719 --> 0:50:30.960
<v Speaker 1>one type of person and now he's up in wherever

0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:35.520
<v Speaker 1>what is it in New Jersey or wherever ms MSNBC films.

0:50:35.520 --> 0:50:37.720
<v Speaker 1>He pretends to be whatever is good there. When Trump,

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.440
<v Speaker 1>when Trump was bringing him ratings, he said whatever Trump

0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to hear. And now that you know, Trump was unpopularly,

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:47.480
<v Speaker 1>so he'll say whatever he wants. But so it depends

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:48.920
<v Speaker 1>where you're talking about. But I think there's a lot

0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of ends justify the means stuff there, and people sort

0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of are in bubbles and they repeat things and they

0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:56.680
<v Speaker 1>start to believe them, or if they don't, they just

0:50:56.880 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 1>want you know, it's propaganda. It's basically a propaganda, or

0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 1>keep repeating it. And you know, I can't bore into

0:51:02.160 --> 0:51:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the souls of some of these people to know if

0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:06.400
<v Speaker 1>they actually believe what they're saying. I'm embarrassed for them.

0:51:06.520 --> 0:51:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Quite often, like Jennifer Rubins of the World, I just

0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's a sort of emotionally driven hatred of certain

0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:14.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of people. Or Tom Nichols at The Atlantic, I

0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:17.319
<v Speaker 1>think he just hates the aesthetic of people who wear

0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:20.200
<v Speaker 1>America shirts or are too flag wavy, you know what

0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, or people who live in places that he

0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:25.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't visit, so I think that's a problem too. So

0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a bunch of different sorts of sort

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:29.759
<v Speaker 1>of you know, they're different sorts of trends going on.

0:51:31.400 --> 0:51:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Is this Biden administration at this stage more left wing

0:51:37.480 --> 0:51:41.120
<v Speaker 1>even than what we saw in the first year of

0:51:41.239 --> 0:51:45.439
<v Speaker 1>the Obama administration in two thousand and nine. First, Buck,

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say, I love that you let

0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you team me up to go after my least favorite

0:51:49.200 --> 0:51:51.719
<v Speaker 1>people in the media. So I just wanted to quickly

0:51:51.760 --> 0:51:57.520
<v Speaker 1>say I appreciate that. But moving forward, let's to displace

0:51:57.600 --> 0:52:00.319
<v Speaker 1>my anger on this show. So the second thing, Yes,

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously I think the party, the policy wise,

0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>they're far left. I mean they're they're far left of

0:52:06.600 --> 0:52:09.040
<v Speaker 1>of Obama. And this is just accelerated in ways that

0:52:09.080 --> 0:52:12.880
<v Speaker 1>are incredible. So today I saw Joe Biden is going

0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to have a study group to look into packing the courts.

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:17.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, why would he do that. It's

0:52:17.800 --> 0:52:20.719
<v Speaker 1>not popular among the normal people. It's not probably even

0:52:20.800 --> 0:52:23.879
<v Speaker 1>popular among most Democrats. It's popular on the far left.

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Because the far left is the loudest, the most activist,

0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:30.319
<v Speaker 1>the most you know, the people who raise the money,

0:52:30.360 --> 0:52:32.279
<v Speaker 1>the people are out there marching and he has to

0:52:32.360 --> 0:52:35.480
<v Speaker 1>placate them. So I think that I think Joe Biden's

0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:37.359
<v Speaker 1>not left or right. I think Joe Biden is wherever

0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he thinks the Democratic Party is. It's been that way

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:41.960
<v Speaker 1>his whole life, in from nineteen seventy three when he

0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:45.160
<v Speaker 1>was posing up to segregationist to now. But I think

0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that yeah, I mean, policy wise, it's it's it's incredible

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the language they use, the racial identitarian sort of things

0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:57.439
<v Speaker 1>that he says, the anti gun rhetoric. You know, it's

0:52:57.480 --> 0:53:00.799
<v Speaker 1>just all far, far to the left. So I don't

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:02.040
<v Speaker 1>know how that's going to work out for them in

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the elections. But I mean, like this gun thing, what

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:06.840
<v Speaker 1>was the point of that, just to rile upright wingers

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and make yourself look even farther to the left. I

0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:11.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know what they're doing. David Arsani,

0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:13.919
<v Speaker 1>everybody Nashalview dot com go check out his peace there

0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and David always a pleasure. Thank you, Buck. I think

0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:19.040
<v Speaker 1>that's right show, and I think that's part of what

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:24.120
<v Speaker 1>is driving both the overwhelming bipartisan support in the country,

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:26.840
<v Speaker 1>not Washington, and in the country for the COVID relief measures.

0:53:26.880 --> 0:53:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And for this infrastructure bill that the administration is trying

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to push forward. So that's a big thing. A paradigm

0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:34.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of shipped. Maybe. I know you we've been talked

0:53:34.280 --> 0:53:36.840
<v Speaker 1>about this for several weeks here, you know, the Roosevelt

0:53:36.880 --> 0:53:38.959
<v Speaker 1>era to the Reagan era. Are we on the verge

0:53:38.960 --> 0:53:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of a new activist, progressive era? Lad in an unlikely

0:53:42.880 --> 0:53:45.160
<v Speaker 1>way by Joe Biden. I think that's not impossible. But

0:53:45.280 --> 0:53:47.800
<v Speaker 1>here's the problem with it when it comes to guns

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:51.880
<v Speaker 1>is the guns have become largely a cultural issue and

0:53:52.080 --> 0:53:55.800
<v Speaker 1>not so much an issue about economics. Guns are definitely

0:53:55.960 --> 0:53:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a cultural issue, and it's that the left has convinced

0:53:59.600 --> 0:54:03.439
<v Speaker 1>it's adherents that gun owners are bad people. They really

0:54:03.520 --> 0:54:06.719
<v Speaker 1>believe that. I mean, they actually have disdain for people,

0:54:07.200 --> 0:54:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the kind of people who own guns or the wrong

0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:13.200
<v Speaker 1>people you see in their minds. And I think that

0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:16.000
<v Speaker 1>we all need to remember that there's a there's a

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:20.520
<v Speaker 1>sense of the gun owners of America, according to Democrats,

0:54:20.920 --> 0:54:24.760
<v Speaker 1>are the red you know, the red flyover state, people

0:54:25.239 --> 0:54:27.839
<v Speaker 1>who have who listen to the wrong kind of music,

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:29.560
<v Speaker 1>eat the wrong kind of food, go to the wrong

0:54:29.640 --> 0:54:32.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of schools, and vote the wrong politicians and that's

0:54:32.960 --> 0:54:36.759
<v Speaker 1>it all gets wrapped in together here. But the talk

0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:41.600
<v Speaker 1>about Biden as a very progressive candidate now or progressive

0:54:41.640 --> 0:54:45.120
<v Speaker 1>president rather, is something that we shouldn't ignore. It's very real,

0:54:45.640 --> 0:54:48.560
<v Speaker 1>and we do have what's going on right now with

0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration unveiling before us a commission, a commission

0:54:56.320 --> 0:55:00.719
<v Speaker 1>to take a look at court packing. Folks, if you're

0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:04.120
<v Speaker 1>wondering how extreme they're willing to be, this is the

0:55:04.160 --> 0:55:07.279
<v Speaker 1>New York Times. Biden creating commission to study expanding the

0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court. They're really doing this, They're really going to

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:14.160
<v Speaker 1>try to push this. The commission will also examine other

0:55:14.239 --> 0:55:17.319
<v Speaker 1>potential changes, such as term limits for justices. Progressives are

0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 1>pushing President Biden to add seats to balance the court's

0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:26.520
<v Speaker 1>conservative majority. President Biden on Friday will order a one

0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:28.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty days study of adding seats to the

0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court, making good on a campaign year promise to

0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:36.880
<v Speaker 1>establish a bipartisan commission to examine the potentially explosive subjects

0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of expanding the court or setting term limits for justices.

0:55:40.440 --> 0:55:41.840
<v Speaker 1>As according to the White House and written in The

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:45.359
<v Speaker 1>New York Times today, the President acted under pressure from

0:55:45.360 --> 0:55:49.120
<v Speaker 1>activists pushing for more seats to alter the ideological balance

0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of the court. After President Donald Trump appointed three justices,

0:55:52.680 --> 0:55:55.840
<v Speaker 1>including one to a seat that Republicans had blocked his predecessor,

0:55:55.880 --> 0:56:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama from filing for filling rather for almost a year.

0:56:01.280 --> 0:56:04.319
<v Speaker 1>This is a reminder of something that is always true

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:07.560
<v Speaker 1>about Democrats. When Democrats are out of power, anything in

0:56:07.600 --> 0:56:11.239
<v Speaker 1>the system that stops Republicans is sacred and must be protected.

0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:14.600
<v Speaker 1>When Democrats are in power, anything in the system that

0:56:14.719 --> 0:56:19.920
<v Speaker 1>stops them is racist or obstructionist and must be destroyed.

0:56:20.680 --> 0:56:24.160
<v Speaker 1>If you remember that, you'll understand so much of the

0:56:24.320 --> 0:56:27.120
<v Speaker 1>propaganda and demagoguery that comes out of the Democratic Party

0:56:27.160 --> 0:56:29.120
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis. If you can just keep that

0:56:29.480 --> 0:56:34.120
<v Speaker 1>in mind, so much else will make sense. There's no

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:38.239
<v Speaker 1>principle here, There's no shared value that we're looking at

0:56:38.280 --> 0:56:40.239
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the Supreme Court. No, No, they

0:56:40.440 --> 0:56:44.880
<v Speaker 1>want an outcome. They don't respect process that does not

0:56:45.040 --> 0:56:48.440
<v Speaker 1>give them the outcome they demand, always and at all times.

0:56:49.360 --> 0:56:52.000
<v Speaker 1>You see this with everything, with elections, with the DOJ,

0:56:52.320 --> 0:56:57.000
<v Speaker 1>with the court system, everything. Democrats don't get the political

0:56:57.080 --> 0:57:00.799
<v Speaker 1>outcome they want, they trash the system and minded they

0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:04.040
<v Speaker 1>get the political outcome they want. It is sacred, it

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:07.279
<v Speaker 1>is not to be touched. And anyone who who even

0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:11.360
<v Speaker 1>brings up criticism of the way the institution is functioning

0:57:11.960 --> 0:57:15.120
<v Speaker 1>is undermining our institutions at our democracy, That's what they say.

0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Very difficult to argue with people who have no principles,

0:57:19.280 --> 0:57:21.880
<v Speaker 1>but that's what we're constantly forced to do with the

0:57:22.040 --> 0:57:24.960
<v Speaker 1>progressive left in America today all the time. It's very

0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 1>hard to have a conversation with people who have no

0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:31.600
<v Speaker 1>moral core about moral issues, obviously is very important these days.

0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Taking care of your tech really matters. We all see

0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:38.520
<v Speaker 1>this now with the whole hundred Biden laptop situation, right.

0:57:38.560 --> 0:57:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what you're doing online and what exists on

0:57:42.120 --> 0:57:45.800
<v Speaker 1>your devices that can really come back to bite you.

0:57:46.400 --> 0:57:49.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's if obviously you're somebody who's doing all kinds

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:52.439
<v Speaker 1>of crazy illegal stuff like Hunter Biden was, but also

0:57:52.560 --> 0:57:55.440
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of us, your politics becomes a problem.

0:57:55.640 --> 0:57:58.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what everyone's seeing now. I think I think everyone's

0:57:58.200 --> 0:58:01.640
<v Speaker 1>becoming more aware of the fact that if you're a conservative,

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you simply cannot trust big tech. You know. They took

0:58:05.280 --> 0:58:08.560
<v Speaker 1>down a Ron DeSantis YouTube video where he had a

0:58:08.680 --> 0:58:12.160
<v Speaker 1>round table of top health experts talking about how lockdowns

0:58:12.200 --> 0:58:14.560
<v Speaker 1>have failed. YouTube just took it down. They said, not

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:18.080
<v Speaker 1>in line with the consensus on mask wearing in lockdowns.

0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Not in line with the consensus. Oh I'm sorry, So

0:58:21.960 --> 0:58:28.160
<v Speaker 1>now the YouTube standards folks are health experts. Really, something

0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:30.440
<v Speaker 1>else is going on here and they've shut me down too.

0:58:30.480 --> 0:58:32.080
<v Speaker 1>They come after me in the past, as you know.

0:58:32.560 --> 0:58:35.240
<v Speaker 1>But you can take action to protect your privacy online.

0:58:35.560 --> 0:58:39.040
<v Speaker 1>You can anonymize your internet connection, surf the web freely

0:58:39.120 --> 0:58:41.000
<v Speaker 1>without wondering who's going to get a hold of your

0:58:41.040 --> 0:58:43.320
<v Speaker 1>search history or viewing habits or what they'll do with

0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that information. I mean, do you really want the government

0:58:46.160 --> 0:58:48.840
<v Speaker 1>or big tech to be reading over your shoulder everything

0:58:48.920 --> 0:58:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you do online? Exactly. There's never been a more important

0:58:52.120 --> 0:58:54.680
<v Speaker 1>time than now to protect your Internet activity. That's why

0:58:54.720 --> 0:58:58.160

<v Speaker 1>learn more. Does it make you crazy when you hear

0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:35.600
<v Speaker 1>someone like Donald Trump Junior saying that the only reason

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:39.160
<v Speaker 1>he does is because he's a Biden and because of

0:59:39.240 --> 0:59:43.000
<v Speaker 1>his last name, And how just wildly comical that is?

0:59:43.080 --> 0:59:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because it is wildly comical? Is that that's

0:59:46.440 --> 0:59:50.120
<v Speaker 1>putting it lightly? I think? But but you know, I

0:59:50.280 --> 0:59:53.120
<v Speaker 1>really what I've learned is this is that I don't

0:59:53.200 --> 0:59:55.560
<v Speaker 1>spend too much time thinking about I do. I think

0:59:55.560 --> 0:59:58.840
<v Speaker 1>about it all the time. I'll think about it for you. Well,

0:59:59.160 --> 1:00:01.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's why, because I have other people to think

1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>about it for about it? Do you know Donald Trump Junior? No,

1:00:05.720 --> 1:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you've never met him now, not that I know of,

1:00:07.600 --> 1:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Not that I know you say that. I know, pretty

1:00:11.120 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty rough place. Yeah. Um, so here we go, here

1:00:17.960 --> 1:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>we go. Now, now we're gonna have the media saying

1:00:22.200 --> 1:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that Hunter Biden is not that you know it. Look,

1:00:25.600 --> 1:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Kimmel, isn't this amazing? You get you get these comedians,

1:00:28.320 --> 1:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>You get these guys who are supposed to be making

1:00:31.120 --> 1:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>people laugh. But what you really see is that they're

1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>political actors who also make some jokes. What you see

1:00:40.680 --> 1:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is that they're they're serving to to aid the propaganda

1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>purposes of the Democrat Party. That's what Jimmy Kimmel does.

1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's why when you have Hunter Biden in this way,

1:00:51.560 --> 1:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you have Hunter Biden, uh getting you know, he's laughing

1:00:55.080 --> 1:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's fine. If you see the stuff that is

1:00:59.520 --> 1:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>out from the laptop now, I mean Andrew Biden, it's

1:01:03.160 --> 1:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>really disturbing. I mean, he's he's got multiple prostitutes. He's

1:01:08.480 --> 1:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>making videos with prostitutes. They're you know, on top of

1:01:13.280 --> 1:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>him naked. I mean it's like, you know, this is

1:01:15.360 --> 1:01:18.439
<v Speaker 1>not stuff for anybody, you know, any of anyone under

1:01:18.480 --> 1:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>eighteen to be seeing that. They're blurring it out in

1:01:20.480 --> 1:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the media outlets, but you know, uh, this is just crazy,

1:01:25.600 --> 1:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>right when you see what's going on with him, you

1:01:27.200 --> 1:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>see what a bad guy he actually is and the

1:01:29.920 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>things he's doing. I mean, it's just all gross and

1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it's degrading and it's wrong. And then of course there's

1:01:35.040 --> 1:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>also the stuff where you just get him. I think

1:01:36.920 --> 1:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's in a feathered boa in one photo

1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>in Tidy Whitey's. You know he's in He's in a

1:01:45.680 --> 1:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>very scale I look, I I'm just reading the news, folks.

1:01:48.840 --> 1:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>This is what's out there. This guy's taking these photos.

1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's like fifty years old. What is he doing.

1:01:57.240 --> 1:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's got alimony payments he's gotta make and

1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to compare himself to Don Trump Junior,

1:02:05.040 --> 1:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump Junior. Is it a whole different category of

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>responsible human being compared Hunter Biden? But oh yeah, they're

1:02:14.520 --> 1:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna make jokes about that. Oh nepotism or whatever. Yeah, Look,

1:02:17.720 --> 1:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>there is nepotism in the Trump family. There's no question

1:02:20.120 --> 1:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>about that. I don't live in some delusion, but there's

1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>nepotism in the Trump family where you have you know,

1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Don Junior and Ivanka and you know, graduating from Ivy

1:02:30.760 --> 1:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>League schools and presenting well and speaking well and working

1:02:35.560 --> 1:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>in companies that, yes that they work for their father's company,

1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>but they can at least talk to talk, walk the walk.

1:02:40.840 --> 1:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Don Junior gives a good speech, he's good

1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>on his feet, you know. And I hate nepotism and

1:02:46.160 --> 1:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>politics money, but nepotism in the private sector is just

1:02:48.840 --> 1:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>a reality. You know, somebody who starts a company is

1:02:51.400 --> 1:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna want to give it to his children. That that's

1:02:53.120 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>just the way it works. It's property, that's how it happens.

1:02:57.040 --> 1:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>But to compare this with a Hunter Biden, but hundred

1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Biden was getting a fifty thousand dollars a month, fifty

1:03:05.320 --> 1:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a month to be on the board of Barisma,

1:03:11.960 --> 1:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>And now we see these photos. I wouldn't pay this

1:03:14.480 --> 1:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>guy five dollars a year to advise me on a

1:03:17.920 --> 1:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>hot dog stand. The only reason he was getting that

1:03:21.440 --> 1:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>money was because of his of his dad, and we

1:03:25.280 --> 1:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>all know it. His dad was the vice president too.

1:03:27.560 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's something that affects all of us in

1:03:30.240 --> 1:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the sense that he's a a public official, a powerful

1:03:35.520 --> 1:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>public official at the time, and here he is talking

1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>about how you know he's actually he was qualified. You know, Oh,

1:03:44.560 --> 1:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I know A hundred Biden went to Yale, right. I mean,

1:03:46.240 --> 1:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>this is the truth when you're when you're a Democrat politician.

1:03:48.800 --> 1:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Because I did say before they went to everything schools. Look,

1:03:51.040 --> 1:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I knew Ivanka growing up a little bit. She was

1:03:52.920 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a good student, she was smart. Everybody knew. It wasn't

1:03:55.960 --> 1:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>a great student. I mean, like I was a better student, obviously,

1:03:58.360 --> 1:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just saying she was. She was a fair

1:04:00.800 --> 1:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a B plus kind of student. She's a pretty good

1:04:02.480 --> 1:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>student at good schools. And h you know Andrew Biden,

1:04:06.760 --> 1:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>his guys clearly just a total, a total waste roll.

1:04:12.400 --> 1:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>But he says, oh no, he got his board spot.

1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's why I play five. You wrote in the book,

1:04:17.440 --> 1:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>use I do want to talk about this, you know,

1:04:20.760 --> 1:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the Ukraine and or Ukraine and and it became some

1:04:25.360 --> 1:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>an issue, it became something. It gave Donald Trump something

1:04:28.320 --> 1:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>to grab onto. He almost got well, he did get

1:04:30.960 --> 1:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>impeached as a result of it. But you wrote, did

1:04:34.320 --> 1:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I make a mistake by taking a seat on the

1:04:36.240 --> 1:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>board of the Ukrainian Gas Company? No? Did I display

1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a lack of judgment? No? Would I do it again? No? Yeah,

1:04:44.200 --> 1:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and I met what I said. I meant. What I

1:04:46.360 --> 1:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>wrote is that, uh, you know, go to the beginning.

1:04:50.080 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that you know I went to Yale Law School. Um.

1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I served on at least a dozen boards before Breezema.

1:04:56.680 --> 1:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I was a vice chamber of the board of Amtrak.

1:05:00.160 --> 1:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I was a chairman of the board of a World

1:05:02.440 --> 1:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Food Program, US largest supporting the largest humanitarian organization in

1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the world. I had an expertise in corporate governance. I

1:05:10.320 --> 1:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>was asked to serve on the board for corporate governance,

1:05:12.760 --> 1:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was a lawyer at boy Schiller and Flexner,

1:05:15.760 --> 1:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>which was how I was first approached. However, what I

1:05:18.960 --> 1:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't take into account was the way in which they

1:05:22.400 --> 1:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>would use the perception against my dad, and for that

1:05:26.520 --> 1:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't do it again. For that reason. Yeah, that's

1:05:31.720 --> 1:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the only reason. It's because the perception thing, not because

1:05:34.040 --> 1:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing is so absurd, not because it's so

1:05:36.560 --> 1:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>clear that this was the worst kind of nepotism, right.

1:05:42.760 --> 1:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Nepotism that involves private companies and corporations is one thing.

1:05:45.720 --> 1:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>A nepotism that involves leveraging your familial ties to somebody

1:05:50.720 --> 1:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>in a high public office is a different thing when

1:05:53.760 --> 1:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it involves a country like Ukraine, When it involves foreign

1:05:58.280 --> 1:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>countries and interests, I mean, this is a whole different level.

1:06:01.600 --> 1:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>But again, look at how dishonest the media is. Look

1:06:04.840 --> 1:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>look at what they're willing to do here to make

1:06:07.040 --> 1:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it seem as though, oh yeah, it's all the same,

1:06:09.960 --> 1:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you all. Hunter Biden is such a such a sympathetic guy.

1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe maybe we should just give him a break. Actually,

1:06:18.880 --> 1:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of a likable guy. He's a good guy.

1:06:20.640 --> 1:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>This is somebody who impregnated as stripper and now says

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't even remember meeting her. This is somebody who's

1:06:26.280 --> 1:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>got photos of his meth mouth and photos of him

1:06:29.840 --> 1:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>with multiple prostitutes that he's paying to sleep with it.

1:06:33.640 --> 1:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just disgusting. This is Joe Biden's son,

1:06:39.120 --> 1:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the President's son, and the media makes him into a

1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>likable figure. I mean, it's one thing if he was

1:06:46.440 --> 1:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>going to go off and get treatment and you know,

1:06:48.560 --> 1:06:51.280
<v Speaker 1>live a private life whatever. He's going on the talk

1:06:51.320 --> 1:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>show circuit. He's putting himself out there. I mean, it's unbelievable, unbelievable,

1:06:58.560 --> 1:07:00.480
<v Speaker 1>but I guess it is believable. This is the way

1:07:00.480 --> 1:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it happens. This is the the double standard of the

1:07:03.480 --> 1:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>left on display. And they just and the left wing

1:07:07.800 --> 1:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>media nothing, no truth matters to them. You know, he's

1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>on the team. He's on the team. Biden is their

1:07:15.640 --> 1:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>guy now, and anybody that's affiliated with Biden is on

1:07:18.080 --> 1:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the team, and they'll protect them and they'll do all

1:07:19.880 --> 1:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. So it's a really stunning situation,

1:07:26.840 --> 1:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. Yeah, Hunter Biden, anyone who says the laptop

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>is not real is either a liar or a moron.

1:07:34.760 --> 1:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, the laptop wasn't Hunter Biden's, I should say,

1:07:36.760 --> 1:07:41.919
<v Speaker 1>any any who claims that it's laughable. And yet many

1:07:42.040 --> 1:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>big voices in the media have been saying that all along,

1:07:44.160 --> 1:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>They've they've been making that a part of this. They've

1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>been acting like maybe, maybe, just maybe it is in

1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>fact the case that this was Russian disinformation. In fact,

1:07:56.280 --> 1:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm still upset about how former intelligence officers very

1:08:03.680 --> 1:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>much debased themselves. And I'm talking about big names in

1:08:08.080 --> 1:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the intel community Clapper and Brannan and I think Hayden

1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and Panetta, they all signed that letter right before the

1:08:16.200 --> 1:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>election about how it was Russian disinformation. It absolutely was

1:08:20.920 --> 1:08:24.559
<v Speaker 1>not Russian disinformation. That was a lie. So these people

1:08:24.600 --> 1:08:26.599
<v Speaker 1>are either liars or they're idiots. I mean, it's gone

1:08:26.600 --> 1:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to the point I've been saying this where for me

1:08:29.240 --> 1:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>being you know, XCIA myself, although only for a few years.

1:08:32.320 --> 1:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I look, I joined the CIA to help find bin

1:08:34.120 --> 1:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Laden and some of his some of his co conspirators,

1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>some of the bad guys and I realized what the

1:08:40.600 --> 1:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>federal government was really like after about four or five

1:08:42.960 --> 1:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>years and decided that, you know, I want to go

1:08:45.160 --> 1:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>to other things. Quite honestly, that was what ended up happening.

1:08:47.720 --> 1:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not some CIA careerist, but it's gone to

1:08:52.080 --> 1:08:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the point now where I feel like we're having worked

1:08:53.840 --> 1:08:57.519
<v Speaker 1>in the intelligence community. The CIA is now like somebody

1:08:57.600 --> 1:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>having worked at Enron in the mid tooth thousands, you know,

1:09:00.680 --> 1:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>early two thousands, where yeah, I don't I don't think

1:09:03.360 --> 1:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to want to brag about that one, you know, Oh,

1:09:06.160 --> 1:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>CIA guy, I don't know. The brand is very damage.

1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, I learned a lot of stuff there.

1:09:12.640 --> 1:09:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I know things that are useful, particularly no things about

1:09:15.640 --> 1:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>the truth of the intelligence community. But man, the brand,

1:09:18.560 --> 1:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just like people I know work the FBI. James Coomy,

1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, the FBI is never gonna be the

1:09:26.240 --> 1:09:29.599
<v Speaker 1>same at least for a generation or two. Now people

1:09:29.600 --> 1:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>are going to realize, oh, it can be run by

1:09:32.439 --> 1:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>partisan hacks who do injustice in the name of justice

1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and who are really just hatchetmen for the Democrat Party,

1:09:39.439 --> 1:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and they can run the FBI as James Comey did.

1:09:44.360 --> 1:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>This is this is the country we're living in now.

1:09:47.200 --> 1:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>It's it's concerning, but this is where we are and

1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>this is what we are continuing to deal with. Yeah,

1:09:53.280 --> 1:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the Russian disinformation. Think about how elaborate that plot would

1:09:57.960 --> 1:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>have to be. I mean, that's really the best the

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Jus could do. First of all, the Russia conspiracy theories

1:10:05.280 --> 1:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>from the Trump era used against Trump are so outlandish

1:10:10.479 --> 1:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that now it's really hard. It's really challenging to think

1:10:12.960 --> 1:10:17.599
<v Speaker 1>of something that's too crazy or stupid for Democrats to believe. Right,

1:10:17.680 --> 1:10:20.479
<v Speaker 1>what is beyond the pale for them? What's it? And

1:10:20.640 --> 1:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>we see it with the return of this Russia mindset,

1:10:25.280 --> 1:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Russia with the laptop which was clearly Hunter Biden's. And

1:10:30.400 --> 1:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>if you see the photos, you see what's going on.

1:10:32.960 --> 1:10:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, you know, what is to say about

1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's parenting skills? Are we allowed to ask that question?

1:10:40.520 --> 1:10:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Is that not? Now? I know he's the president, he's

1:10:43.479 --> 1:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>not the parent in chief, but he kind of poses

1:10:45.320 --> 1:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>like he's America's grandpa. And what a mess this guy

1:10:50.120 --> 1:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden is. And I'm not just talking about the

1:10:52.000 --> 1:10:53.479
<v Speaker 1>drug abuse and a lot of people can get caught

1:10:53.560 --> 1:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>up in drugs and it's a sickness and it's it's

1:10:55.400 --> 1:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I do have a lot of sympathy for that.

1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>But there's a difference in being a drug addict and

1:11:00.479 --> 1:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>being a drug addict who flaunts it and makes money

1:11:03.720 --> 1:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>off of your affiliation with your family in ways that

1:11:06.760 --> 1:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>are corrupt and gross and is paying off prostitutes too.

1:11:10.439 --> 1:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>What a time and making videos of it and taking

1:11:13.400 --> 1:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>photos of yourself basically naked and smoking crack. I mean,

1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:20.439
<v Speaker 1>what a just what a disaster this guy's but yeah

1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>on Jimmy Kimmel Show. Hahaha. It's also funny. They're all

1:11:24.040 --> 1:11:26.680
<v Speaker 1>such good buddies and friends and everything else. Sure, you know,

1:11:26.760 --> 1:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>because must be good to be a democrat. This is

1:11:29.560 --> 1:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>something that you know. It does cross my mind. It

1:11:32.640 --> 1:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>must must be a really special, privileged thing to be

1:11:36.760 --> 1:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>able to be a democrat who can always always count

1:11:42.400 --> 1:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>on the media to catch your back, always always be

1:11:45.080 --> 1:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>there to take care of you in one way or another,

1:11:48.320 --> 1:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>as long as you're as long as you're important to

1:11:50.200 --> 1:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the cause. Think about walking around with that kind of protection,

1:11:55.160 --> 1:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>no matter how much of a scumbag you are. It

1:11:58.400 --> 1:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>must be a remarkable thing to be a famous democrat

1:12:01.400 --> 1:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>in America today, we have this under control. And what

1:12:05.200 --> 1:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration has done is very deliberate. So we're

1:12:07.960 --> 1:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>all ringing our hands because Kamala won't go down to

1:12:09.880 --> 1:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the border. Well let's say she does. Let's say my

1:12:12.160 --> 1:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>orchist does. So what they don't want to change this?

1:12:15.200 --> 1:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>This is very deliberate. They took very willful steps to

1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:21.439
<v Speaker 1>reverse Trump administration policies or remain in Mexico policy, to

1:12:21.520 --> 1:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>silent cooperation agreements, stopped building the wall, and maybe more

1:12:24.880 --> 1:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>importantly than all about send a signal to people that

1:12:28.160 --> 1:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>they're welcome here. This is important for everyone to know

1:12:34.439 --> 1:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>because because Crenshaw actually gets what's happening, he understands this

1:12:38.800 --> 1:12:43.599
<v Speaker 1>dynamic too. The Democrats weep, we keep assuming, or there's

1:12:43.600 --> 1:12:47.560
<v Speaker 1>this mindset of, oh, the crisis at the border is

1:12:47.680 --> 1:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that we have so many people coming into the country illegally.

1:12:51.520 --> 1:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>That's not what Democrats think the crisis at the border is.

1:12:55.720 --> 1:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>They view it as a problem of whether or not

1:13:01.000 --> 1:13:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the people can be processed quickly and efficiently enough and

1:13:04.160 --> 1:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>be kept comfortable as they're led into the country. What

1:13:07.560 --> 1:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>do we think Kamala is going to do if she

1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>does go down to the border. I mean, we know,

1:13:12.000 --> 1:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of course very little. But I mean, just what do

1:13:15.120 --> 1:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>they think. They're going to talk about more resources. They're

1:13:17.960 --> 1:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about more people down there to process

1:13:21.200 --> 1:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the intake of those who cross illegally into the country.

1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:29.840
<v Speaker 1>But think about this for a moment. That just means

1:13:29.920 --> 1:13:33.439
<v Speaker 1>then more people will want to come. They're actually we're

1:13:33.520 --> 1:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>working at cross purposes with the Democrats on this, or

1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>rather we're thinking about this atros cross purposes with the Democrats.

1:13:40.960 --> 1:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Their view of all of this is that they would

1:13:44.520 --> 1:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>like a better, more efficient entry process for the hundreds

1:13:50.280 --> 1:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of mostly Central American migrants who cross illegally

1:13:55.240 --> 1:13:57.479
<v Speaker 1>and then want to stay here. They want that process

1:13:57.520 --> 1:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to be smoother. We want this to stop, but for

1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it to stop, there has to be a change in

1:14:05.840 --> 1:14:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the incentive structure. And they're not going to change the

1:14:09.000 --> 1:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>incentive structure because that would mean turning people away. In fact,

1:14:13.280 --> 1:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>as I've said, they're making this easier. They're making it

1:14:15.840 --> 1:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>more likely for people, more likely for people to want

1:14:19.960 --> 1:14:22.439
<v Speaker 1>to come, because they'll say, oh, well, now I know

1:14:22.800 --> 1:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that if if I send my children to cross the border,

1:14:26.200 --> 1:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>if I send my kid to cross the border illegally,

1:14:28.200 --> 1:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he or she will be well taken care of in

1:14:30.760 --> 1:14:33.519
<v Speaker 1>a very nice facility and allowed to stay for sure

1:14:33.680 --> 1:14:36.479
<v Speaker 1>and get schooling and healthcare and everything and be placed.

1:14:36.560 --> 1:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And why are more people going to come? Why isn't

1:14:41.439 --> 1:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>that going to result in even more illegal crossing? This

1:14:45.200 --> 1:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>is why the problem is only going to get only

1:14:48.439 --> 1:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>going to get worse. And as I'm getting ready myself

1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:52.759
<v Speaker 1>to head down to the border, you know now there

1:14:53.040 --> 1:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>are people who are making videos of them. Members of

1:14:57.680 --> 1:14:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Congress have made videos where they're just standing there and

1:14:59.479 --> 1:15:03.639
<v Speaker 1>there's just just people walking. And this happens particularly at nighttime,

1:15:03.720 --> 1:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>just walking across the border in large numbers, large numbers

1:15:07.360 --> 1:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>of them. But don't call it an open border, they say, oh,

1:15:10.240 --> 1:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not open. Yeah, it's so secure that hundreds of

1:15:15.240 --> 1:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>people at a time, in different places all over the

1:15:17.280 --> 1:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>US Mexico border are just going to walk into the country.

1:15:20.960 --> 1:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>That is. That's where we are right now, That's where

1:15:23.520 --> 1:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>this is. And I just I gotta tell you, it's

1:15:29.760 --> 1:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing to see how the Democrats have no way

1:15:33.439 --> 1:15:36.799
<v Speaker 1>of explaining this to people other than to just focus

1:15:36.880 --> 1:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>on the humanitarian and emotional impulses around the issue while

1:15:41.360 --> 1:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>not dealing with the fundamental fact that as long as

1:15:44.200 --> 1:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>people can come into the United States illegally and are

1:15:47.840 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>likely to stay under comfortable in the whole process, they're

1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>going to keep doing this. It's not going to stop,

1:15:57.560 --> 1:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and in fact, it's going to escalate. They'll be even

1:16:00.120 --> 1:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>more of this. So I don't know where there goes.

1:16:04.280 --> 1:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it'll drop down a bit in the summer

1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>because it gets so hot that it becomes dangerous and

1:16:08.960 --> 1:16:11.839
<v Speaker 1>just uncomfortable for people to try to cross into America

1:16:11.920 --> 1:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>illegally on foot. But I don't know what happens beyond that,

1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:19.439
<v Speaker 1>other than I think it's likely to continue and you'll

1:16:19.520 --> 1:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>have you'll have this going on for the first two

1:16:23.120 --> 1:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>years of the Biden administration. The only way this stops

1:16:26.560 --> 1:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>is if Democrats feel like it's a true crisis for

1:16:30.960 --> 1:16:34.559
<v Speaker 1>their poll numbers, then they might have to do something.

1:16:34.880 --> 1:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>We talk a lot about online censorship these days. We

1:16:38.280 --> 1:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>have these discussions on this show about how people like

1:16:41.080 --> 1:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>me are being suppressed, being shut down. What can we

1:16:44.320 --> 1:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>actually do about this? We have to fight back effectively

1:16:48.200 --> 1:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>in the war against big tech suppression and censorship of

1:16:52.439 --> 1:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>conservative ideas. We've got somebody who knows very well exactly

1:16:56.680 --> 1:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>how we can do that now with us. Matt Needler,

1:17:00.080 --> 1:17:04.519
<v Speaker 1>he is the CEO of Caucus Room dot Com. Caucus

1:17:04.600 --> 1:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>from dot Com is somebody that I work with as

1:17:07.280 --> 1:17:09.439
<v Speaker 1>a sponsor. Or. We're very pleased to have hi, Matt On. Matt,

1:17:09.479 --> 1:17:12.439
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. Thanks for thanks for having me

1:17:12.520 --> 1:17:15.479
<v Speaker 1>and thanks for supporting us. So tell me what we

1:17:15.960 --> 1:17:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have heard recently from Supreme Court Justice Thomas that seems

1:17:21.160 --> 1:17:24.519
<v Speaker 1>to be be sticking with people as as a beginning

1:17:24.560 --> 1:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>point for the conversation of how we can start to

1:17:27.640 --> 1:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>get rid of the big tech monopoly by treating it

1:17:31.840 --> 1:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like monopoly. What do you see and tell us about

1:17:34.320 --> 1:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>what what Thomas says and how you see this moving forward. Yeah,

1:17:38.080 --> 1:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean Justice Thomas really, uh, you know, kind of

1:17:41.680 --> 1:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>put a shot across the bow to the real big

1:17:43.840 --> 1:17:48.560
<v Speaker 1>tech platforms, especially I think the app stores and Amazon,

1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the folks that that took down Parlors. We know. A

1:17:51.400 --> 1:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>few months ago, he pointed out in an opinion he

1:17:56.680 --> 1:18:05.040
<v Speaker 1>wrote around the Overcort's decision about President Trump blocking people

1:18:05.080 --> 1:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter. They actually just ruled that opinion as moot

1:18:09.840 --> 1:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>because he's not president anymore. But but in the he

1:18:13.920 --> 1:18:17.679
<v Speaker 1>put in an opinion associated with that that said, hey,

1:18:17.760 --> 1:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Okay, so maybe President Trump shouldn't have blocked

1:18:21.280 --> 1:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>these folks on Twitter, but Twitter blocked President Trump. And

1:18:26.640 --> 1:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>like the power of Twitter to do that is pretty extraordinary,

1:18:31.560 --> 1:18:33.519
<v Speaker 1>and we need to be looking at not only that,

1:18:33.800 --> 1:18:37.360
<v Speaker 1>but but how these app stores and others are treated

1:18:38.200 --> 1:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>in terms of whether or not they are offering a

1:18:40.760 --> 1:18:44.400
<v Speaker 1>public accommodation kind of the way, like a hotel can't

1:18:44.479 --> 1:18:47.719
<v Speaker 1>turn someone away because of you know, some arbitrary reason,

1:18:48.680 --> 1:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>but you know, if they if that person is violating

1:18:53.280 --> 1:18:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the rules of the hotel, they can. So he was

1:18:55.920 --> 1:19:00.360
<v Speaker 1>likening it to a public accommodation and then also usibly

1:19:00.479 --> 1:19:03.400
<v Speaker 1>as a common carrier kind of the way like a

1:19:03.520 --> 1:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>train company can't refuse one kind of product but to

1:19:08.960 --> 1:19:11.680
<v Speaker 1>accept another, you know, competitor's product or something like that.

1:19:11.880 --> 1:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So so he pointed to those two things and it

1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>was basically just an invitation for someone to bring a

1:19:19.439 --> 1:19:23.599
<v Speaker 1>case to the court. And um, so we were watching

1:19:23.680 --> 1:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that with a lot of interest here at Caucus Room. Um.

1:19:26.560 --> 1:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, as you know, Caucus Room is a social

1:19:29.280 --> 1:19:33.320
<v Speaker 1>network for conservatives. Um. And so we've we're always pretty

1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:39.120
<v Speaker 1>wary of you know, legislative and you know, uh, legislators

1:19:39.160 --> 1:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>getting um in the mix because they'll probably screw it up.

1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:44.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we don't exactly you know, whatever the

1:19:44.760 --> 1:19:47.600
<v Speaker 1>court decisions are is usually kind of an up or

1:19:47.640 --> 1:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>down or or nuanced decision with some specific issue like

1:19:52.120 --> 1:19:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that Twitter case that you know probably doesn't relate to

1:19:55.640 --> 1:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the way Caucus Room works. But but we watched it

1:19:58.760 --> 1:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of interest. You know, we certainly had

1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>our own issues with the app stores and are still

1:20:05.240 --> 1:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to get onto the app stores. So we've learned

1:20:08.040 --> 1:20:10.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot. But it was a really important decision and

1:20:10.800 --> 1:20:12.960
<v Speaker 1>one that we're still kind of chewing on this week.

1:20:13.200 --> 1:20:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So so tell us of a year, and we're speaking

1:20:15.160 --> 1:20:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to Matt Needler, who's a CEO of caucus Room dot com,

1:20:18.200 --> 1:20:21.320
<v Speaker 1>which is a social media site for conservatives and one

1:20:21.439 --> 1:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've partnered with as a sponsor. And I want

1:20:24.000 --> 1:20:27.519
<v Speaker 1>to know, Matt, uh, why can't you get in the

1:20:27.560 --> 1:20:30.080
<v Speaker 1>app store? For example, what's the reason that Apple, one

1:20:30.120 --> 1:20:32.400
<v Speaker 1>of the most powerful companies in the world, gives for

1:20:32.640 --> 1:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>why you can't actually have an app? Just like you know,

1:20:37.479 --> 1:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it seems like there are millions of them these days. Yeah,

1:20:40.360 --> 1:20:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's uh so there's a lot of answers

1:20:44.400 --> 1:20:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to that. I mean, the first few times we were

1:20:45.960 --> 1:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>rejected were perfectly reasonable. You know, we had bugs, we

1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:52.599
<v Speaker 1>had didn't load properly, or it was missing a couple

1:20:52.640 --> 1:20:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of basic you know, security features that that Apple wanted

1:20:55.439 --> 1:20:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to see or something like that. And so we've addressed

1:20:57.680 --> 1:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>all of those. We're going to be resubmitting really soon. UM.

1:21:00.960 --> 1:21:05.400
<v Speaker 1>But one of the things that that UH is there's

1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:08.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of a key term which is called user generated content,

1:21:09.200 --> 1:21:12.519
<v Speaker 1>and that's the official jargon for what a social network

1:21:12.760 --> 1:21:15.599
<v Speaker 1>is UM. And when you think about user generated content

1:21:15.760 --> 1:21:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like that could be anything. Could be the pictures people

1:21:18.439 --> 1:21:22.080
<v Speaker 1>put up on Instagram, it could be UM, a text

1:21:22.400 --> 1:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that someone puts in onto Twitter. UM. And you know,

1:21:26.200 --> 1:21:32.640
<v Speaker 1>anybody's ability to preemptively moderate that is virtually impossible. There

1:21:32.680 --> 1:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>are some screening things and whatnot that Apple requires, you know,

1:21:36.400 --> 1:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like like we don't want you know,

1:21:38.320 --> 1:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>pornography on on Caucus Room. Caucus Room is a place

1:21:41.000 --> 1:21:44.680
<v Speaker 1>for conservatives to caucus We It's a lot like uh,

1:21:44.760 --> 1:21:48.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of nextdoor dot com, where it's you know, oriented

1:21:48.439 --> 1:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>at first and foremost around your neighborhood, but you can

1:21:50.800 --> 1:21:54.080
<v Speaker 1>join larger groups. In factors that there's a great buck

1:21:54.120 --> 1:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Sexton group getting started this week. Um, it's a buck

1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Sexton club that because we have clubs, newsrooms, and causes anyway,

1:22:01.560 --> 1:22:03.559
<v Speaker 1>so when people join Caucus Room, keep an eye out

1:22:03.560 --> 1:22:06.559
<v Speaker 1>for that. But the point is user user generated content

1:22:07.720 --> 1:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>is something that the app stores have extra requirements for.

1:22:12.320 --> 1:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>So if you're uploading a game like a Tetris kind

1:22:15.040 --> 1:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of game or something, they've got one level of screening.

1:22:18.160 --> 1:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>But if you have user generated content, they've got a

1:22:20.360 --> 1:22:23.559
<v Speaker 1>whole another level of screening. And so we have been

1:22:24.560 --> 1:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>working for you know, the better part of nine months too,

1:22:27.760 --> 1:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of feels like sometimes the goalposts are

1:22:29.880 --> 1:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>shifting on us. But uh, you know, the latest thing

1:22:34.439 --> 1:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that they had was, you know that we because we

1:22:37.200 --> 1:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>screen people who want to join Caucus Room and participate

1:22:41.960 --> 1:22:45.040
<v Speaker 1>in our you know, the discussions, post content, create a

1:22:45.160 --> 1:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>group or something, you have to be a real person

1:22:48.600 --> 1:22:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and we got to know that you, you know, you

1:22:50.160 --> 1:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>share the same generally share the same conservative values that

1:22:53.680 --> 1:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the other members share on the site. And so we

1:22:56.000 --> 1:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>have a little screening process. So Matt tell me this,

1:22:58.320 --> 1:23:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a different thing that you're doing

1:23:01.600 --> 1:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>with Caucus Room. How do you verify conservatives? Yeah, so

1:23:06.560 --> 1:23:08.599
<v Speaker 1>we do a few different uh, we have a few

1:23:08.640 --> 1:23:11.439
<v Speaker 1>different methods. We've got a few you know, commercial data

1:23:12.600 --> 1:23:14.800
<v Speaker 1>things that we can run against. So u you know,

1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:17.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that we've that's very clear is

1:23:18.040 --> 1:23:23.160
<v Speaker 1>that liberals hate it when conservatives talk online, right, and

1:23:23.320 --> 1:23:27.479
<v Speaker 1>so there were you know, one of the problems that

1:23:27.560 --> 1:23:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Parlor fell into was that, you know, there were a

1:23:29.400 --> 1:23:32.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of people joining it just to sabotage the conversations

1:23:32.960 --> 1:23:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and to sabotage the site from the left. And uh,

1:23:37.080 --> 1:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you know that is that's always a concern they you know,

1:23:40.240 --> 1:23:43.160
<v Speaker 1>poll after poll shows that the only people who feel

1:23:43.200 --> 1:23:47.200
<v Speaker 1>totally comfortable talking online are are the most liberal. And

1:23:47.400 --> 1:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>so when we built Caucus Room, we wanted to at

1:23:50.800 --> 1:23:53.800
<v Speaker 1>least do some kind of a screening system to keep

1:23:53.880 --> 1:23:57.640
<v Speaker 1>those liberal trolls out and um, and you know, for

1:23:57.680 --> 1:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the most part, I think we've been we've done a

1:23:59.120 --> 1:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>really really good job that as we've been growing. But

1:24:02.320 --> 1:24:05.760
<v Speaker 1>the you know, so, so you we use some commercial databases,

1:24:05.800 --> 1:24:08.719
<v Speaker 1>and we also allow you to to vouch for a friend.

1:24:09.360 --> 1:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>So if you've got a friend that you you know,

1:24:11.600 --> 1:24:14.439
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of on you if they join Caucus Room

1:24:14.479 --> 1:24:17.599
<v Speaker 1>and misbehave. But the point is like we were trying

1:24:17.680 --> 1:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to set up a system where you know, we are

1:24:21.800 --> 1:24:25.360
<v Speaker 1>here to caucus as conservatives to have some you know, conversations,

1:24:25.479 --> 1:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, who's the city council candidate we like in

1:24:27.640 --> 1:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>our neighborhood, who's the UM you know, what sort of

1:24:31.240 --> 1:24:33.400
<v Speaker 1>slate of school board candidates do we want to support,

1:24:33.640 --> 1:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and then all the way up to the national level

1:24:35.320 --> 1:24:39.559
<v Speaker 1>talking about national conservative issues as well. But we don't

1:24:40.000 --> 1:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>feel like people will be able to comfortably have those

1:24:43.000 --> 1:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>conversations unless we kind of clear the room of um,

1:24:46.479 --> 1:24:50.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, the troublemakers first. So so that's our that's

1:24:50.640 --> 1:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>our goal. But UM. You know that said, you can

1:24:54.360 --> 1:24:56.680
<v Speaker 1>now join and at least look around a little bit

1:24:56.760 --> 1:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>without a screening process, So we have a limited access

1:25:00.560 --> 1:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>before we screen you if you'd like to see what

1:25:02.280 --> 1:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>it is. There's so there's one level of people can

1:25:04.200 --> 1:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to sort of see what's going on if they go

1:25:05.840 --> 1:25:08.599
<v Speaker 1>to Caucus room dot com and then to get more

1:25:08.680 --> 1:25:11.200
<v Speaker 1>involved than to be posting and things. That's where this

1:25:11.640 --> 1:25:16.040
<v Speaker 1>verification comes in, UM, and just give us a sense

1:25:16.080 --> 1:25:18.479
<v Speaker 1>of what are some of your plans downline as this

1:25:18.680 --> 1:25:23.080
<v Speaker 1>grows and expands. Yeah, you know, we UM I'll put

1:25:23.120 --> 1:25:26.559
<v Speaker 1>it this way. Our verification system is so closely mirrored

1:25:26.600 --> 1:25:30.519
<v Speaker 1>to to the way we're based here in Colorados. We

1:25:30.600 --> 1:25:33.799
<v Speaker 1>launched in Colorado, and it's so close to Colorado's caucus system.

1:25:34.120 --> 1:25:35.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you go to the caucuses, you actually

1:25:35.760 --> 1:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>have to show your ID and you have to show

1:25:39.360 --> 1:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that you're a registered Republican in our in this case,

1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in order to participate in your Republican caucus. And it's

1:25:45.800 --> 1:25:48.680
<v Speaker 1>great because then you meet your local neighbors who are Republicans,

1:25:49.080 --> 1:25:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and you talk about the local issues, and you nominate,

1:25:51.600 --> 1:25:54.519
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you work your way up the chain

1:25:54.640 --> 1:25:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to nominate people at the various assemblies for state legislator,

1:25:59.040 --> 1:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>county commissioner, and then you know, all the way up

1:26:02.120 --> 1:26:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to governor and president. And so that's how you know,

1:26:06.400 --> 1:26:09.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the caucus states worked. And I found

1:26:09.720 --> 1:26:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a great value in that. I'm a former state legislator.

1:26:13.120 --> 1:26:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have I was very young when I ran.

1:26:16.080 --> 1:26:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have a Christmas card list. But the caucus

1:26:20.080 --> 1:26:22.920
<v Speaker 1>system gives you sort of an instant support network of

1:26:23.000 --> 1:26:26.240
<v Speaker 1>neighbors who are you know, share your values and want

1:26:26.280 --> 1:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to help people like you get elected. So going through

1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:32.639
<v Speaker 1>the caucus process is great for you know, a young

1:26:32.800 --> 1:26:35.560
<v Speaker 1>local candidate just getting started, and we felt like we

1:26:35.600 --> 1:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>should see that online. So it's open to not just Republicans.

1:26:38.800 --> 1:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>As long as you're you just share conservative values, you

1:26:42.120 --> 1:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>can join. But that was the inspiration for the site.

1:26:46.040 --> 1:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't We didn't want to be like some other

1:26:48.360 --> 1:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>social network. We wanted to be an organizing tool for conservatives,

1:26:54.320 --> 1:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>both locally and nationally. So that's where we're that's where

1:26:56.840 --> 1:26:59.759
<v Speaker 1>we're headed. We're in almost every county in the US,

1:27:00.520 --> 1:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>most major cities. We've got hundreds or if not thousands

1:27:03.080 --> 1:27:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of members already. UM and with your help and uh,

1:27:06.240 --> 1:27:08.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and a bunch of other folks, we're

1:27:08.920 --> 1:27:12.200
<v Speaker 1>growing really really fast. And so we're um, you know,

1:27:12.280 --> 1:27:14.120
<v Speaker 1>we're just getting started. That's great. And so here in

1:27:14.200 --> 1:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>New York I can find other people who are like

1:27:17.200 --> 1:27:20.639
<v Speaker 1>minded through caucusroom dot com. Right, that's right, yep, yep.

1:27:20.720 --> 1:27:22.400
<v Speaker 1>You'll find them in your county. You can find them

1:27:22.439 --> 1:27:24.880
<v Speaker 1>in your state. Uh, you can. You can start a

1:27:24.920 --> 1:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>group if I was a you know, if I'm a

1:27:26.920 --> 1:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>if I'm thinking about running for office, um, especially like

1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:34.759
<v Speaker 1>state legislative level. You know, we've had some people already,

1:27:34.920 --> 1:27:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, announcing for Congress, et cetera. And they're they're

1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:40.360
<v Speaker 1>setting up caucus room groups so that they can find

1:27:40.880 --> 1:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a local support network of verified conservatives to kind of

1:27:44.280 --> 1:27:46.760
<v Speaker 1>help them get started. Fantastic one. All right, every everyone

1:27:46.800 --> 1:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>should definitely go check out the Buck Sexton group at

1:27:49.880 --> 1:27:54.440
<v Speaker 1>caucus room dot com. Matt and Leedler, CEO of caucusom

1:27:54.479 --> 1:27:56.120
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Matt, thank you so much, man. We really

1:27:56.160 --> 1:27:59.400
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. Hey, thanks for having me. Thanks Buck. Yeah,

1:27:59.680 --> 1:28:01.360
<v Speaker 1>there has been a change, and I think a lot

1:28:01.400 --> 1:28:06.479
<v Speaker 1>of Americans, especially hard working, poor middle class Americans circinis,

1:28:06.600 --> 1:28:09.519
<v Speaker 1>start behaving differently. You're going to start voting with their feet,

1:28:09.560 --> 1:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>going to start looking with a little bit more of

1:28:12.040 --> 1:28:15.479
<v Speaker 1>a suspect I toward what's happening in Washington, DC and

1:28:15.680 --> 1:28:19.120
<v Speaker 1>within the Democratic Party, because look, these policies are not sustainable.

1:28:19.160 --> 1:28:22.559
<v Speaker 1>The spending levels are out of control, and these are

1:28:22.680 --> 1:28:25.559
<v Speaker 1>all going to lead to economic catastrophe. The Senator want

1:28:25.600 --> 1:28:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to double back and on topic we were discussing here

1:28:27.800 --> 1:28:30.880
<v Speaker 1>in New York. If you yeah, the spending levels are

1:28:30.960 --> 1:28:34.920
<v Speaker 1>not sustainable. I know that we didn't talk about this,

1:28:35.000 --> 1:28:36.439
<v Speaker 1>and I used to bring it up occasionally and I

1:28:36.479 --> 1:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>would say, you remember if you've listened to the show

1:28:38.439 --> 1:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>for years now, which some of you have been listening

1:28:40.160 --> 1:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to the show almost ten years. But I would say, hey,

1:28:44.320 --> 1:28:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the situation here of spending, even though the Trump administration

1:28:48.640 --> 1:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is not good, folks are spending too much money. I know,

1:28:50.479 --> 1:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>no one wants to hear it, you know, Maga, You know,

1:28:52.880 --> 1:28:54.599
<v Speaker 1>no one wants to hear anything other than how awesome

1:28:54.640 --> 1:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>everything is. But we're spending too much money. And it

1:28:57.200 --> 1:29:00.960
<v Speaker 1>was true. Now we're spending way too much money. I mean,

1:29:01.000 --> 1:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy, and it's like we're putting our currency

1:29:06.240 --> 1:29:08.519
<v Speaker 1>through a stress test to see if we could just

1:29:08.720 --> 1:29:13.040
<v Speaker 1>break the whole thing. We're trying to see if we

1:29:13.160 --> 1:29:15.720
<v Speaker 1>can find a way to create inflation. Almost that's what

1:29:15.840 --> 1:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>it feels like. And eventually this is going to be

1:29:18.960 --> 1:29:20.719
<v Speaker 1>a big problem. And I don't mean in ten years,

1:29:21.640 --> 1:29:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean in this first Biden term. And inflation is

1:29:25.920 --> 1:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>so damaging because what ends up happening is that you

1:29:29.400 --> 1:29:33.439
<v Speaker 1>have people with assets, who own assets, they can raise

1:29:34.240 --> 1:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>those prices or those assets will be inflated, particularly in

1:29:37.240 --> 1:29:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the stock market, which has already been happening at some level.

1:29:40.840 --> 1:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if you are somebody that owns property

1:29:43.320 --> 1:29:46.759
<v Speaker 1>and you rent it out, well you'll you'll raise prices

1:29:46.800 --> 1:29:49.559
<v Speaker 1>in order to keep up with inflation. But if you're

1:29:49.600 --> 1:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>somebody who relies on wages, it's more difficult. And if

1:29:55.080 --> 1:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you're somebody who has savings, your savings will purchase less.

1:29:59.360 --> 1:30:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Your savings are worthless. You are eating away at people's

1:30:02.479 --> 1:30:08.280
<v Speaker 1>savings with this process. Uh. You know, every every action

1:30:08.360 --> 1:30:10.599
<v Speaker 1>has an equal in opposite reaction, and the most basic

1:30:11.320 --> 1:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>truths of of economics and of objective reality are being

1:30:16.120 --> 1:30:19.679
<v Speaker 1>forgotten in this whole process. And I understand it's it's

1:30:19.720 --> 1:30:22.720
<v Speaker 1>not politically appealing to people to hear that there's not

1:30:22.880 --> 1:30:25.920
<v Speaker 1>some magic money tree that's going to make everything so

1:30:26.120 --> 1:30:29.280
<v Speaker 1>much better. I understand that. But at the end of

1:30:29.320 --> 1:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the day, we have to be honest about this, and

1:30:33.920 --> 1:30:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that means confronting the fact that while nobody wants to

1:30:37.479 --> 1:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>be the one who's telling everybody how bad things are

1:30:41.360 --> 1:30:43.719
<v Speaker 1>right now, well maybe a little bit because Biden's the president.

1:30:43.760 --> 1:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I get that, but you know, I don't want to

1:30:45.960 --> 1:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>be a downer, folks, But this is going to get

1:30:47.800 --> 1:30:49.560
<v Speaker 1>out of control. And the problem with inflation is that

1:30:49.640 --> 1:30:53.080
<v Speaker 1>when you figure out that it's happening it's often too

1:30:53.200 --> 1:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>late to do very much about it. I mean, well

1:30:57.280 --> 1:30:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you can do things about it, but you've already got

1:30:59.200 --> 1:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a problem. That's a better way of putting it. And

1:31:02.680 --> 1:31:07.839
<v Speaker 1>here's you know, Claire McCaskill is saying that the GOP

1:31:08.360 --> 1:31:12.120
<v Speaker 1>is the party of grievance and negativity, darkness and doom. Now,

1:31:12.520 --> 1:31:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I I was just talking about some negativity. But you know,

1:31:16.560 --> 1:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes negativity is something you need to talk about. But

1:31:19.080 --> 1:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the Democrats are really the ones who well,

1:31:23.160 --> 1:31:26.479
<v Speaker 1>they're the ones that that view America negatively. I just

1:31:26.840 --> 1:31:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I just view this as a function of math. Anyway,

1:31:29.400 --> 1:31:32.519
<v Speaker 1>here's Claire McCaskill Place sixteen. Yeah, it's kind of weird.

1:31:32.720 --> 1:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what is the Republican Party for right now?

1:31:36.479 --> 1:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was really interesting yesterday that that Joe

1:31:39.320 --> 1:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Biden led so strongly with the message bring us your ideas.

1:31:43.800 --> 1:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Republican Party has become the party of grievance, negativity,

1:31:50.120 --> 1:31:56.760
<v Speaker 1>darkness and doom. This is so far from the profile

1:31:56.880 --> 1:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>of Ronald Reagan. It would give you whiplash to look

1:32:00.200 --> 1:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>at the two different models. They just are against everything. No,

1:32:04.920 --> 1:32:07.760
<v Speaker 1>we're just against what Democrats are doing because they're doing

1:32:07.920 --> 1:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>dumb things that are hurtful to the country. Overall, it

1:32:10.960 --> 1:32:14.720
<v Speaker 1>might help some people, but overall they're bad and that's

1:32:14.760 --> 1:32:16.840
<v Speaker 1>how we feel. And it's just so funny, isn't it.

1:32:17.200 --> 1:32:20.360
<v Speaker 1>We're the party of negativity. For four years, Democrats while

1:32:20.400 --> 1:32:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump was president, spent spent all their time trying to

1:32:24.200 --> 1:32:29.800
<v Speaker 1>explain to us how Trump was basically a fascist and

1:32:30.000 --> 1:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>how they were ruining They were we were ruining the

1:32:33.960 --> 1:32:37.360
<v Speaker 1>country by having somebody who was a Hitler like figure

1:32:37.479 --> 1:32:41.120
<v Speaker 1>almost as president. But oh and there was a Russian

1:32:41.240 --> 1:32:43.519
<v Speaker 1>plot to steal the election and he wasn't even really

1:32:43.560 --> 1:32:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the president, and the country is so racist and there's

1:32:47.080 --> 1:32:49.639
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy everywhere, and all these things that they say,

1:32:50.720 --> 1:32:53.679
<v Speaker 1>and then now they turn around when they're in charge,

1:32:53.720 --> 1:32:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it's like, why are you guys, so you know, why

1:32:56.320 --> 1:33:00.519
<v Speaker 1>are you so negative about the country? Oh? Okay? The

1:33:00.920 --> 1:33:04.880
<v Speaker 1>entire Democrat agenda for four years under Trump wasn't to

1:33:04.960 --> 1:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>convince everybody that the country was basically spiraling into the

1:33:08.800 --> 1:33:10.479
<v Speaker 1>seventh circle of hell im And I think we can

1:33:10.520 --> 1:33:14.560
<v Speaker 1>all see exactly what was happening, and I remember it.

1:33:15.040 --> 1:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>But I do have to say that on the question

1:33:17.640 --> 1:33:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of or on the issue of massive government spending and

1:33:20.880 --> 1:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>trillions and trillions of dollars. We have to look at

1:33:23.920 --> 1:33:29.719
<v Speaker 1>this and understand that, yeah, they're spending too much money,

1:33:30.560 --> 1:33:33.559
<v Speaker 1>and this is going to have really negative ramifications for people.

1:33:33.600 --> 1:33:35.240
<v Speaker 1>This is going to affect you, it's going to affect me.

1:33:36.160 --> 1:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>And by the time it's clear that it's a problem,

1:33:38.280 --> 1:33:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what they're gonna do. They're not gonna say, wow,

1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys were right. They're gonna say it was Trump's fault,

1:33:43.800 --> 1:33:47.400
<v Speaker 1>It's the Republican's fault, it's the rich not paying enough

1:33:47.439 --> 1:33:51.040
<v Speaker 1>taxes fault. It's something like that. They'll have some excuse

1:33:51.160 --> 1:33:54.360
<v Speaker 1>even though we can all see this train of inflation

1:33:54.520 --> 1:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>is coming down, coming down the tracks, and it's it's

1:33:57.760 --> 1:34:03.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna get ugly. Friends, rock and roll, fellow Patriots, It's

1:34:04.040 --> 1:34:20.760
<v Speaker 1>time for roll com for Aducer Mark. What was it

1:34:20.880 --> 1:34:24.639
<v Speaker 1>like going to opening day of the New York Baseball Mets?

1:34:24.960 --> 1:34:28.040
<v Speaker 1>How was it incredible? It was so nice to be

1:34:28.120 --> 1:34:32.240
<v Speaker 1>back at City Field after a very long time, beautiful day.

1:34:32.560 --> 1:34:36.799
<v Speaker 1>It was in the mid sixties, high early low seventies,

1:34:36.840 --> 1:34:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and it was sunny, got to eat some hot dogs,

1:34:40.360 --> 1:34:43.680
<v Speaker 1>have some beers, watch a baseball game. It felt like

1:34:43.920 --> 1:34:45.840
<v Speaker 1>normalcy again. Yeah, it was a little weird. It wasn't

1:34:45.880 --> 1:34:48.679
<v Speaker 1>a full park, but it was as close to normal

1:34:48.760 --> 1:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>as I personally have gotten in a long time. So

1:34:50.960 --> 1:34:54.120
<v Speaker 1>it felt good. Very nice buddy who ended up winning

1:34:54.200 --> 1:34:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the game? The Mets one. What was the score? It

1:34:57.439 --> 1:34:59.800
<v Speaker 1>was a three to two They walked off, walked off

1:35:00.200 --> 1:35:04.360
<v Speaker 1>hit by pitch? What does that mean? That means the

1:35:04.960 --> 1:35:07.840
<v Speaker 1>batter got hit by the pitch and the basses were loaded,

1:35:08.560 --> 1:35:10.400
<v Speaker 1>so he gets to go to first base. So that

1:35:10.439 --> 1:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>means the runner from third scored. Is that I mean,

1:35:13.280 --> 1:35:15.680
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna ask. Is that a little anti clubactic? It's

1:35:15.680 --> 1:35:19.559
<v Speaker 1>like completely It was actually a very weird situation. Nobody

1:35:19.600 --> 1:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>in the ballpark knew that it hit him because the

1:35:22.240 --> 1:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>umpires signaled shrike three. So me and a lot of

1:35:25.200 --> 1:35:27.960
<v Speaker 1>fans started booing because the guy at the plate had

1:35:28.280 --> 1:35:30.639
<v Speaker 1>grounded into a double play with the bases loaded. He'd

1:35:30.680 --> 1:35:33.200
<v Speaker 1>been bad all game, so we started booing. Then all

1:35:33.240 --> 1:35:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, the umpires signaled that it hit him

1:35:35.840 --> 1:35:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and the Mets won the game. So it was very weird.

1:35:37.920 --> 1:35:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It was the strangest ending to a game I've ever

1:35:40.960 --> 1:35:42.639
<v Speaker 1>been to, that's for sure. But the Mets won. That's

1:35:42.640 --> 1:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>all the matters. There we go, What was your what

1:35:45.320 --> 1:35:48.200
<v Speaker 1>was your ballpark food of choice? I didn't go with

1:35:48.240 --> 1:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>anything crazy. A lot of stuff wasn't open because of

1:35:50.479 --> 1:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the it wasn't full capacity. So I just went with

1:35:53.479 --> 1:35:55.599
<v Speaker 1>the staples and with the hot dog when with some beers.

1:35:56.439 --> 1:35:58.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, nothing crazy. See, I will say when I

1:35:58.680 --> 1:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>used to be able to eat the gluten, the hot

1:36:02.280 --> 1:36:06.080
<v Speaker 1>dog with the bun is was. There was something pretty

1:36:06.120 --> 1:36:08.519
<v Speaker 1>nice about it. I was always though. When I was

1:36:08.560 --> 1:36:10.240
<v Speaker 1>a kid, I was a ketchup guy. Then I got older,

1:36:10.240 --> 1:36:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I became a mustard guy. Oh no, I definitely go

1:36:13.320 --> 1:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>ketch up. I don't like mustard. M Yeah, you like

1:36:16.640 --> 1:36:19.519
<v Speaker 1>all that sugar, don't you. I mean, I'm not worried

1:36:19.560 --> 1:36:23.040
<v Speaker 1>about the sugar on a little bit of ketchup. I'm

1:36:23.160 --> 1:36:26.479
<v Speaker 1>telling you, I'm sure, of course there is, but you

1:36:26.560 --> 1:36:28.760
<v Speaker 1>know it's delicious. It's not like I'm looking. I'm I'm

1:36:28.760 --> 1:36:31.840
<v Speaker 1>a weirdo though. I I go, and I have no

1:36:31.960 --> 1:36:34.280
<v Speaker 1>shame about this. I just I think that mayonnaise with

1:36:34.320 --> 1:36:36.840
<v Speaker 1>French fries is amazing. And I know that people I

1:36:37.080 --> 1:36:42.000
<v Speaker 1>know like a total savage mayonnaise and French fries I

1:36:42.120 --> 1:36:44.920
<v Speaker 1>love it. I love it. The smell of mayonnaise makes

1:36:44.960 --> 1:36:48.479
<v Speaker 1>me want to vomit. Yeah, wow, really hate man is

1:36:48.479 --> 1:36:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a great condom. So many, so many of my red

1:36:51.280 --> 1:36:54.479

<v Speaker 1>If you like Mayo, great, I just don't like it.

1:37:00.720 --> 1:37:03.280

1:37:03.400 --> 1:37:07.759

<v Speaker 1>You know, Mark, the snow Princess came back from from

1:38:28.120 --> 1:38:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo yesterday and I got to see her. It was

1:38:29.720 --> 1:38:32.599
<v Speaker 1>so exciting, so happy because I had COVID for two weeks,

1:38:32.760 --> 1:38:34.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't see her then. Then she had to go home

1:38:34.800 --> 1:38:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to Buffalo where she's from, so I didn't see her then,

1:38:37.840 --> 1:38:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and so I hadn't seen her in like three weeks,

1:38:41.240 --> 1:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and so we saw last night. We had a great,

1:38:44.080 --> 1:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>great you know, catchup time or union all that, but

1:38:46.880 --> 1:38:48.559
<v Speaker 1>we were just it was kind of late. We want

1:38:48.600 --> 1:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to watch some kind of a movie, some kind of

1:38:50.760 --> 1:38:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a show. We put on the number one the number

1:38:54.280 --> 1:38:57.639
<v Speaker 1>one thing on Netflix. Just you're like, all right, we'll

1:38:57.680 --> 1:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>just give this a shot. I knew nothing about it.

1:39:01.280 --> 1:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>We got about thirty minutes into it maybe, And I'm

1:39:04.000 --> 1:39:08.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure it's about a guy who's having a relationship

1:39:08.960 --> 1:39:11.320
<v Speaker 1>with a woman and the daughter of the woman is

1:39:11.360 --> 1:39:16.840
<v Speaker 1>figuring out that the boyfriend is a human lamb prey,

1:39:17.439 --> 1:39:20.519
<v Speaker 1>which is like a fish that grabs onto another fish

1:39:20.560 --> 1:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and sucks its insides out. Pretty sure that's what this

1:39:24.000 --> 1:39:25.760
<v Speaker 1>movie's turning into. And it just makes me want to

1:39:25.880 --> 1:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>because we watched this one. We had another Netflix movie

1:39:28.280 --> 1:39:32.320
<v Speaker 1>recently about like the crazy babysitter, who's like sexy but

1:39:32.479 --> 1:39:35.519
<v Speaker 1>crazy kind of a thing. You know, this is who

1:39:35.680 --> 1:39:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is writing this crap? Mark? Like, who comes up? They have?

1:39:39.080 --> 1:39:43.160
<v Speaker 1>They have such deep pockets at Netflix and Amazon and Hulu.

1:39:43.920 --> 1:39:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Can't they just make good shows? Why do they make

1:39:47.040 --> 1:39:50.639
<v Speaker 1>such trash shows? Yeah? But I don't have a clue

1:39:50.840 --> 1:39:53.640
<v Speaker 1>why Netflix makes this trash but people are obviously watching it.

1:39:53.880 --> 1:39:55.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, why else would they be making it and

1:39:55.520 --> 1:39:57.559
<v Speaker 1>spending the money if people aren't watching it. I think

1:39:57.560 --> 1:39:59.639
<v Speaker 1>they're very hit hit or miss. But that's the point.

1:40:00.040 --> 1:40:02.360
<v Speaker 1>People like some stuff, some people don't like other stuff.

1:40:02.720 --> 1:40:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess it just reminds me a little bit of

1:40:04.720 --> 1:40:07.800
<v Speaker 1>how I remember I grew up in my family. We

1:40:07.960 --> 1:40:10.920
<v Speaker 1>were I was fortunate, I guess in the sense and

1:40:11.040 --> 1:40:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that we had my dad likes My dad likes to

1:40:13.960 --> 1:40:15.960
<v Speaker 1>watch stev He's a big reader, but he also likes

1:40:16.000 --> 1:40:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to watch TV. And and we had like all the

1:40:19.160 --> 1:40:21.960
<v Speaker 1>different HBO channels. And if you're watching all the different

1:40:22.040 --> 1:40:25.080
<v Speaker 1>HBO channels, like like I was, occasionally something would come

1:40:25.080 --> 1:40:27.280
<v Speaker 1>on late at night and in the movie would be

1:40:27.439 --> 1:40:30.639
<v Speaker 1>it would be so bad. I mean, it would honestly

1:40:30.720 --> 1:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>be such trash that the thought process even as like

1:40:33.720 --> 1:40:36.679
<v Speaker 1>a teenage as teenager watching this stuff, I think, who

1:40:37.960 --> 1:40:40.479
<v Speaker 1>thought this was a good idea? I mean who who?

1:40:40.640 --> 1:40:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Because they spent money they made this movie, you know

1:40:44.200 --> 1:40:46.400
<v Speaker 1>who thought that making? And the one that always comes

1:40:46.439 --> 1:40:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to mind that I brought up before the show was

1:40:47.840 --> 1:40:51.519
<v Speaker 1>LEPrecon five. Remember producer Mark, do you even know the

1:40:51.640 --> 1:40:54.519
<v Speaker 1>leprac am the Leprica? Do you have the LEPrecon movies?

1:40:54.560 --> 1:40:56.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm talking about? No? And based on

1:40:56.400 --> 1:40:58.439
<v Speaker 1>how you're describing them. I don't want to. I'm the

1:40:58.640 --> 1:41:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Leprica coming lady. You know, he I'll eat your face

1:41:03.439 --> 1:41:05.640
<v Speaker 1>if you'll try to take me put gold. You know,

1:41:06.120 --> 1:41:09.640
<v Speaker 1>there was this little guy. He was actually it was

1:41:09.680 --> 1:41:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a it was a little person. He actually was a

1:41:11.760 --> 1:41:17.439
<v Speaker 1>little person um named Warwick Davis, who was an actor

1:41:17.640 --> 1:41:22.800
<v Speaker 1>who played the lead character in the movie Willow, which

1:41:22.920 --> 1:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>was a Disney movie that it's kind of a Dungeons

1:41:25.800 --> 1:41:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and Dragons fantasy genre movie. And so he's a little person.

1:41:30.520 --> 1:41:32.960
<v Speaker 1>But then he went on to make a whole bunch

1:41:33.080 --> 1:41:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of these movies called the LEPrecon. And you know, I

1:41:35.360 --> 1:41:39.360
<v Speaker 1>always think of Leprecons as the guy from the cereal box,

1:41:39.479 --> 1:41:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the frosted lucky chart arms that are magically delicious. You know,

1:41:42.920 --> 1:41:47.559
<v Speaker 1>do you remember that I'm going of course, yeah, he's

1:41:47.600 --> 1:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a nice little LEPrecon. You know, he wants to hand

1:41:50.040 --> 1:41:53.479
<v Speaker 1>you little marshmallows that are different charms, and the whole

1:41:53.560 --> 1:41:55.040
<v Speaker 1>thing and lucky charms. I used to eat it. I

1:41:55.080 --> 1:41:57.040
<v Speaker 1>thought they pretty it's pretty yummy. It would turn the

1:41:57.120 --> 1:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>cereal milk weird colors. Anyway, the lucky jibs and and

1:42:02.080 --> 1:42:08.479
<v Speaker 1>I see that's a the Warwick Davis. LEPrecon character is

1:42:08.800 --> 1:42:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a mean LEPrecon who like like kills people. He's very

1:42:13.200 --> 1:42:19.519
<v Speaker 1>bad LEPrecon. They made LEPrecon in Space, LEPrecon in the Hood.

1:42:19.720 --> 1:42:23.639
<v Speaker 1>True story. Uh, they made so many of these movies,

1:42:24.040 --> 1:42:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and he just watch and he like bites people and

1:42:27.600 --> 1:42:29.720
<v Speaker 1>rips their faces off and all this stuff, and it's

1:42:29.760 --> 1:42:32.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty violent sometimes. And I just remember thinking to myself, like,

1:42:33.000 --> 1:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>who is the screenwriter for this? Who makes these trash movies?

1:42:39.360 --> 1:42:41.080
<v Speaker 1>But then I guess I'm sitting here talking about them,

1:42:41.120 --> 1:42:43.680
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of watch some of them, So I

1:42:43.760 --> 1:42:45.920
<v Speaker 1>guess some people will watch stuff even but it's garbage.

1:42:46.120 --> 1:42:48.240
<v Speaker 1>But Netflix is this is all my way of saying,

1:42:48.280 --> 1:42:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Netflix producer Mark is making, is making some pretty trash

1:42:51.080 --> 1:42:54.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff these days. They're either going to either win Oscars

1:42:54.520 --> 1:42:56.599
<v Speaker 1>or some sort of award or they make tresh. It's

1:42:56.680 --> 1:42:58.719
<v Speaker 1>there's no in between. There's not a lot in between.

1:42:59.000 --> 1:43:01.200
<v Speaker 1>They don't do a lot of gentleman's b. Plus you know,

1:43:01.400 --> 1:43:05.040
<v Speaker 1>it's either an A or A or a D. There's

1:43:05.120 --> 1:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of mid mid range stuff. And the

1:43:07.760 --> 1:43:10.560
<v Speaker 1>shows over the So anyway, I guess the sostance we

1:43:10.680 --> 1:43:12.800
<v Speaker 1>might finish this. I don't even know if this is finishable,

1:43:13.240 --> 1:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Like we got through the the you know, sexy college

1:43:19.840 --> 1:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>student nanny who you know, I can't even explain it.

1:43:24.360 --> 1:43:25.920
<v Speaker 1>That was number one on nept We got through that,

1:43:26.040 --> 1:43:29.679
<v Speaker 1>which was absurd. I mean, it's so bad. But anyway,

1:43:29.680 --> 1:43:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for something good to watch this week, and

1:43:31.240 --> 1:43:34.360
<v Speaker 1>if any of you have recommendations for me, I'll never forget.

1:43:34.400 --> 1:43:37.840
<v Speaker 1>It was this audience that told me about the masterpiece

1:43:37.920 --> 1:43:40.599
<v Speaker 1>theater show Poll Dark, which is available on Amazon, which

1:43:40.680 --> 1:43:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is a great show. What you can watch you with

1:43:43.080 --> 1:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole family. It's a great show, really well done.

1:43:48.000 --> 1:43:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You know. I I recommended recently for one of my

1:43:50.800 --> 1:43:54.200
<v Speaker 1>family members Outlander, which have you watched that? One? Producer

1:43:54.280 --> 1:43:58.519
<v Speaker 1>more Yeah, a long time ago. Yeah, I enjoyed Outlander.

1:43:58.560 --> 1:44:01.040
<v Speaker 1>But I will say it's really leave violent, and there's

1:44:01.080 --> 1:44:04.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sexy, sexy, sexy, naughty time stuff going

1:44:04.320 --> 1:44:08.800
<v Speaker 1>on in that show and special fun fun time exactly.

1:44:09.080 --> 1:44:12.720
<v Speaker 1>That's that that thing, and and it's uh, you know,

1:44:12.760 --> 1:44:14.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a little too much, a little too much of that.

1:44:15.280 --> 1:44:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Uh So I I couldn't I have it able to

1:44:17.400 --> 1:44:19.240
<v Speaker 1>finish shoutlet. So I'm looking I'm looking for a new

1:44:19.280 --> 1:44:21.800
<v Speaker 1>show anyway, that's that's I've told you about ted Lasso

1:44:21.800 --> 1:44:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about one hundred times and you still haven't watched it. Yeah,

1:44:25.160 --> 1:44:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I think i'll do it. Where is is it on?

1:44:26.800 --> 1:44:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it on Apple TV? Oh? See, that's why I

1:44:29.840 --> 1:44:32.200
<v Speaker 1>don't have Apple TV. Just download the app and get

1:44:32.240 --> 1:44:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a free trial. Okay, maybe I'll do that. Then is

1:44:36.760 --> 1:44:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen the Superstore show? Yes? Fantastic? Someone else

1:44:41.479 --> 1:44:43.719
<v Speaker 1>said that, so I might check that. Where is that Hulu?

1:44:43.880 --> 1:44:46.720
<v Speaker 1>That's on Hulu? Yeah, okay, I'm gonna give that. I'm

1:44:46.720 --> 1:44:49.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna give that a shot. Have you seen Brooklyn nine nine?

1:44:49.720 --> 1:44:53.240
<v Speaker 1>That's also Snow Snow Princess. We're gonna check out Superstore? Okay,

1:44:53.920 --> 1:44:57.880
<v Speaker 1>she she's hearing me. Uh and uh Brooklyn nine nine. Yes,

1:44:57.960 --> 1:45:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the Andy Sandberg. It's a cop comedy. Is that one? Good? Hilarious?

1:45:03.400 --> 1:45:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Love it? Okay? All right, So I got a couple

1:45:04.960 --> 1:45:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to add into the mix here, let's get to your

1:45:06.880 --> 1:45:09.720
<v Speaker 1>thoughts team. We got John up here. Hey, but a

1:45:09.880 --> 1:45:12.599
<v Speaker 1>quick question. Did the number of deaths in the US

1:45:12.880 --> 1:45:16.479
<v Speaker 1>go up last year? Not taking into account how I

1:45:16.560 --> 1:45:18.640
<v Speaker 1>wonder if the rate was redistributed to COVID, if there

1:45:18.680 --> 1:45:22.280
<v Speaker 1>was a significant rise, I'm also curious if it changes

1:45:22.280 --> 1:45:24.160
<v Speaker 1>if we adjust for the rise in suicide and murder.

1:45:24.200 --> 1:45:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I know COVID is real. I want the actual impact things. John,

1:45:27.240 --> 1:45:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I have not independently dove into, dived into dove into

1:45:35.680 --> 1:45:40.280
<v Speaker 1>these numbers. I have not done that yet. I will

1:45:40.360 --> 1:45:46.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you that my understanding is that there is excess mortality,

1:45:46.800 --> 1:45:50.080
<v Speaker 1>substantial excess mortality in the era in the COVID year,

1:45:50.400 --> 1:45:53.760
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of people did die from COVID. Who

1:45:54.280 --> 1:45:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you know when you look at so expected mortality is

1:45:57.040 --> 1:45:58.800
<v Speaker 1>in any given year in the US, how many people die,

1:45:59.680 --> 1:46:05.559
<v Speaker 1>and excess mortality is a clear separation from I guess

1:46:05.720 --> 1:46:10.280
<v Speaker 1>a standard deviation at least above that and or a

1:46:10.400 --> 1:46:12.240
<v Speaker 1>deviation from it. We could just put it that way,

1:46:12.720 --> 1:46:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and there were a few hundred there were there were

1:46:17.200 --> 1:46:21.280
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands of additional deaths from COVID. Vast majority

1:46:21.360 --> 1:46:23.599
<v Speaker 1>of those deaths are people over seventy So you start

1:46:23.640 --> 1:46:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to get into well, there are more people dying that

1:46:28.040 --> 1:46:31.000
<v Speaker 1>from COVID. But there's also a high percentage if you're

1:46:31.000 --> 1:46:33.479
<v Speaker 1>looking at just the excess mortality questions the function of numbers,

1:46:33.479 --> 1:46:36.599
<v Speaker 1>there's a high percentage of people who died who were

1:46:37.520 --> 1:46:42.360
<v Speaker 1>near near life expectancy in the US anyway. But yes,

1:46:42.560 --> 1:46:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the answer question John, is that a lot of a

1:46:44.760 --> 1:46:47.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of people did die. Hundreds of thousands of people

1:46:47.600 --> 1:46:50.400
<v Speaker 1>did die from COVID based on everything that I've seen,

1:46:51.200 --> 1:46:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Burke rights, you sound like a an elitist snob when

1:46:55.160 --> 1:46:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you denigrate states with less population. Density isn't necessarily a

1:46:58.680 --> 1:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>good thing most people. We don't want to live right

1:47:01.160 --> 1:47:03.719
<v Speaker 1>on top of one another. And frankly, leadership is leadership.

1:47:04.040 --> 1:47:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Population size has nothing to do with it. If you

1:47:06.160 --> 1:47:08.759
<v Speaker 1>can lead, it doesn't matter if you're governing Florida or Montana.

1:47:09.200 --> 1:47:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Christy Noome is disqualified not because she's in a small state,

1:47:12.160 --> 1:47:14.120
<v Speaker 1>but because she caved to wokeness over the issue of

1:47:14.160 --> 1:47:19.599
<v Speaker 1>biological sex. Okay, Burke, well, let's actually so, I appreciate

1:47:19.640 --> 1:47:22.439
<v Speaker 1>you writing and taking the time, let's actually address what

1:47:22.520 --> 1:47:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you're saying here. I didn't say that density was good

1:47:26.439 --> 1:47:30.320
<v Speaker 1>or bad, so I don't know why you're thinking that

1:47:30.479 --> 1:47:32.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what I was saying. I was pointing out that

1:47:33.360 --> 1:47:37.439
<v Speaker 1>comparing the leadership shown by Ron de Santis in Florida

1:47:37.880 --> 1:47:41.200
<v Speaker 1>with a population of twenty one million and a lot

1:47:41.240 --> 1:47:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of density during COVID and comparing Christy Noome in South Dakota,

1:47:47.360 --> 1:47:51.600
<v Speaker 1>with a population of about two million and a population

1:47:51.680 --> 1:47:56.000
<v Speaker 1>density similar to the South Pacific. As I've said, islands

1:47:56.040 --> 1:47:59.400
<v Speaker 1>in the South Pacific is not an apt comparison because

1:47:59.560 --> 1:48:04.160
<v Speaker 1>COVID density translates directly to more cases and higher mortality,

1:48:04.720 --> 1:48:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and so it's not as impressive as a leader to

1:48:09.400 --> 1:48:11.599
<v Speaker 1>be in charge of a state that is much smaller

1:48:11.880 --> 1:48:15.559
<v Speaker 1>with much lesser density, because those things factor so much.

1:48:15.800 --> 1:48:19.120
<v Speaker 1>This is like saying, why aren't we New Zealand, Burke,

1:48:19.800 --> 1:48:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Why does New Zealand have such a better COVID response

1:48:22.960 --> 1:48:27.879
<v Speaker 1>than we do? It would be intellectually dishonest to suggest

1:48:28.000 --> 1:48:30.599
<v Speaker 1>that you could compare those two things. New Zealand has

1:48:30.640 --> 1:48:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a much smaller population and much less density than the

1:48:35.200 --> 1:48:40.680
<v Speaker 1>United States does overall. So I mean, you can call

1:48:40.800 --> 1:48:43.960
<v Speaker 1>me whatever you want to call me, but listen to

1:48:44.040 --> 1:48:46.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Don't get angry based on what you're

1:48:46.400 --> 1:48:51.200
<v Speaker 1>interpreting or your interpretation rather of what I'm saying. I

1:48:51.680 --> 1:48:53.960
<v Speaker 1>have no I'm trying to move to a less dense

1:48:54.040 --> 1:48:56.240
<v Speaker 1>place myself. I don't know what. I don't know why

1:48:56.280 --> 1:48:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you think I like density? Density stinks? Too many people

1:48:59.280 --> 1:49:03.120
<v Speaker 1>is too expensive and obviously in a pandemic and density

1:49:03.240 --> 1:49:06.200
<v Speaker 1>is a real challenge. So Burke always free to write

1:49:06.200 --> 1:49:08.720
<v Speaker 1>into criticize. But on this one, my friend, I think,

1:49:08.840 --> 1:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>listen more closely to what I'm saying. Let's come back

1:49:11.120 --> 1:49:12.960
<v Speaker 1>in a second with more roll call. Coming back here

1:49:13.000 --> 1:49:16.560
<v Speaker 1>with rollcall. Remember Facebook dot com, slashbuck sexon, or you

1:49:16.640 --> 1:49:21.080
<v Speaker 1>can email us Team Bucket. iHeartMedia dot com. Richard Buck,

1:49:21.160 --> 1:49:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm very glad you survived the rona. We should all

1:49:24.360 --> 1:49:27.960
<v Speaker 1>take inspiration from our Bostonian patriot ancestors and have a

1:49:28.160 --> 1:49:31.720
<v Speaker 1>coke party. I mean assume he means the soda producer Mark.

1:49:32.040 --> 1:49:34.960
<v Speaker 1>We should record dumping out coke products and setting them

1:49:35.040 --> 1:49:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to coke and coke CEO. I'm tired of these lib crazies,

1:49:38.920 --> 1:49:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and these companies need to feel some kind of pain.

1:49:41.360 --> 1:49:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Major League baseball is just as bad, but I don't

1:49:43.320 --> 1:49:45.720
<v Speaker 1>have any baseball stuff to burn. Let's have a coke

1:49:45.840 --> 1:49:47.880
<v Speaker 1>party while keep it our shield hide. Not like a

1:49:48.760 --> 1:49:50.960
<v Speaker 1>like a hundred Biden coke party. He means like the

1:49:51.320 --> 1:49:55.840
<v Speaker 1>caffeinated sugary beverage. So just to be clear, but yeah, Richard,

1:49:55.920 --> 1:49:57.599
<v Speaker 1>thanks for writing in, and thank you for being glad

1:49:57.600 --> 1:50:01.679
<v Speaker 1>that I survived the RONA. I certainly am too, Dave. Hey, Buck,

1:50:01.760 --> 1:50:04.479
<v Speaker 1>listen to the podcast late night as usual. Our VP

1:50:04.720 --> 1:50:08.639
<v Speaker 1>literally just said, strengthening up our economy over water policy.

1:50:09.160 --> 1:50:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me? I'm looking forward to you in

1:50:11.479 --> 1:50:14.320
<v Speaker 1>producer marks strengthening up your podcast to make sure water

1:50:14.560 --> 1:50:17.400
<v Speaker 1>is managed properly, no pressure. What the hell are these

1:50:17.439 --> 1:50:21.600
<v Speaker 1>people talking about? David? That is a great question. What

1:50:21.960 --> 1:50:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the hell are the Democrats talking about when it comes

1:50:25.840 --> 1:50:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to things like infrastructure, and as we've said, anything they

1:50:29.080 --> 1:50:32.280
<v Speaker 1>want to make infrastructures infrastructure, Well, that's not how that's

1:50:32.320 --> 1:50:36.320
<v Speaker 1>not how words work. That doesn't make any sense. But yes,

1:50:36.520 --> 1:50:38.479
<v Speaker 1>we see it for what it is, and we will

1:50:38.640 --> 1:50:40.560
<v Speaker 1>continue to focus in on what is true and what

1:50:40.720 --> 1:50:43.320
<v Speaker 1>is real. Dam I want you all have a great weekend.
