1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Warning Europe about to enter the arena and join the 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Battle to. 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: Save America with your host Sean Parnell. 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: What is up, battle crew? It is Monday. It is 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: a great day to be an American from sea to 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: Shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome patriots. I hope 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: you had a fantastic weekend. I bring you tidings from 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: the Dandee Lion War here at Fort Parnell. And the 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: tidings my friends are grim the Dandy they remain undefeated. Now, 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: if you have been following me on my locals, Commander 11 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: Melanie posted a picture on there and I had called 12 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: in for reinforcements, and the reinforcements were my oldest son Ethan, 13 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: to come out and help me manage the lawn and 14 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: do some we'd whacking and take the fights to the dandelions, 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: and just to recap for our friends who are listening 16 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: wherever you listen to your favorite podcast, and I hope 17 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: that Battleground Live is one of those. But tidings are grim. 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: I worked on the lawn. We have six about six 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: acres of cuttable land. Okay, it takes a long time. 20 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: I've got a tractor that I cut it with and 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: I we'd whack the rest. But I spent about six 22 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: hours on the lawn this weekend, and I think for 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: twelve hours it looked great. I felt like I had one. 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: And I am not even exaggerating. The next day, the 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: very next day, and yes, for those who are listening, 26 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: I am giving a knife hand to the screen because 27 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: I am very, very frustrated about this. The next day 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: they were back. I mean they were back, fully grown back, 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: and way worse than before. And just to give you 30 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: a sense of how I imagine. So if you're listening, 31 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: let me paint you a picture. And if you are watching, 32 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: please excuse the crudity of this message. And if you 33 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: have kids around, you know, do some ear muffs, throw 34 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: some flow, some blindfolds up. But this is how I 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: imagine the dandelions, right as they slowly come back up. 36 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: It just feels like this to me, the middle finger 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: going slowly, slowly, slowly up. So when I wake up 38 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: in the morning and I look up my bedroom window, 39 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: they're all just staring at me. It's as if the 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: thousands of dandy Lyons that I'm seeing are all giving 41 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: me the middle finger. And Commander Melanie, after dropping the 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: kids at school today, came back up the driveway and said, oh, 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, Sean's not going to like this, and she 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: would be right, So we are. I don't know what's 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: going on with that, but let me just give you 46 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: a quick let me jump right into the rundown of 47 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: the show. I've wasted enough time talking about the Dandy 48 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Lion War. But tonight on Battlegun Live, Uh, we're gonna 49 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: talk about the war. The White House Correspondence dinner. I 50 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: have been there. You don't need to be there. I'm 51 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: gonna tell you all about it, and what happened this 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: year's White House Correspondence dinner. Campus insurrections all over the country. 53 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: These selfish, entitled losers are raising hell on college campuses. 54 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that. I debated whether or not 55 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about this with you all today, 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: but I've got to talk about this Christy Nome puppy stuff. 57 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw some of the headlines. What happened 58 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: to her hunting dog. We're gonna talk about that. We're 59 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: also gonna get into news that they strangely kept from 60 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: us until the right moment. It's suspicious, it's kind of 61 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: a round robin of different stories that we're gonna get to, 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make you aware of what these stories 63 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: are and the curiousness of their timing. But also I've 64 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: got to talk about this because this isn't getting enough attention, 65 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: but America's terminal demographic decline. We aren't having enough babies 66 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: here in America, and that's gonna cause us all all 67 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: sorts of problems. Okay, quick, let me take just to 68 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: say thank you very quickly to Steal Woman for the 69 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: rumble rant tips, she said, contributing to the Dandelion where 70 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: I am so grateful to you, madam. We will put 71 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: that to good use. Thank you very much. Also, take 72 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: a quick minute to like and rumble this video. Smash 73 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: that little green thumb beneath the video. It helps the show. 74 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: It's free, and it helps the show immensely. It propels 75 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: us to the leader board. Okay, let's just get right 76 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: in the arena. Charlotte, North Carolina. Today, seven law enforcement 77 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: officers have been struck by gunfire. So there is a 78 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: big active shooter situation going on there in Charlotte. And 79 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, I always try on this show to recognize 80 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: those who serve us, those who serve our community ultimately. 81 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: I truly think that service is part and parcel of 82 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: what it means to be a hero. I think that 83 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: serving other people and being willing to lay down your 84 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: life for others if need be, or stepping up to 85 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: volunteer to help others is part of what it means 86 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: to be a hero. And on this show, we recognize 87 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: people who do that. Unfortunately, it seems like every single 88 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: week I'm talking about our nation's heroes getting attacked, getting 89 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: shot up. It's a dangerous time to be an American. 90 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking specifically about our police officers. You know, men 91 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: and women who wear a badge to work, you know, 92 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: put wear a gun on their hips, kiss kiss their 93 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: family goodbye. They go to work. They don't know if 94 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: they're going to come back and see their family. It's 95 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: a tough time. And here seven law enforcement officers have 96 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: been struck by gunfire. We'll be praying for them, and 97 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: I would ask that every member of the battle crew 98 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: take a few seconds and say a prayer for these 99 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers and their families. Their families, their spouses 100 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: they serve as well. Believe me, our law enforcement they're 101 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: the shield. Our veterans are warriors, they're the sword. They 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: protect our freedom. And things in this country don't seem 103 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: like they are getting any better. They don't seem like 104 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: they're getting any safer. And think back to what I've 105 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: told you before, folks about being hard to kill. That 106 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: should be a core part of your life's mission. And 107 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: I mean that, as crass as it sounds, it's intended 108 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 1: to be that. If you focus on making yourself hard 109 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: to kill, almost everything else falls into place. Again, as 110 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: extreme as that sounds, I mean, you know, being in 111 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: good shape makes you harder to kill. You know, getting 112 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: on treadmill and trying to get yourself in better cardiovascular 113 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: shape makes yourself harder to kill. Doing everything that you 114 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: can to untether yourself from the government. Like this weekend, 115 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Commander Melanie and I ordered garden boxes from an amazing 116 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: local company called Square Roots. They're on Facebook, you should 117 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: check them out. But you see here this is the 118 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: owner of Square Roots. He's a middle school football coach 119 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: out in western Pennsylvania. He made me these four y 120 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: eight garden boxes, and Commander Melanie and I are going 121 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: to start our garden. Of course, there are gonna be 122 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: more garden boxes to come and the plan is is 123 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: and see you can see there in the background we 124 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: had corn planted there last year, and so we're gonna 125 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: have soy planet there this year and corn on our 126 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: other field. But we are doing everything that we can 127 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: to untether ourselves from the government because listen, folks, I 128 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: don't trust the government, and I don't believe that you 129 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: trust the government either. You know, most people think, and 130 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I do lead most most people think that the government 131 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: is going to save them in a crisis. I'm here 132 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: to tell you that not only is that not true, 133 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I think it's safe to assume that the opposite is true. 134 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: I think the government does not have your best intentions 135 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: at heart. And when you look at all the things 136 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: that are happening in blue cities right with these Soros 137 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: funded prosecutors and Democrat elected representatives doing everything they can 138 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: to make examples out of conservatives, it's hard to see 139 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: how anyone could disagree with me. But if you've got 140 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: a family or loved ones, I think we have a 141 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: responsibility as Americans to do everything that we can to 142 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: take care of them, to make sure that they're protected 143 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: in the event that the worst happens. I told you 144 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: from the very beginning. I've been doing in the show 145 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: for eight months now. I mean, I think I did 146 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: my very first live show. I think I did it 147 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: probably eight months ago. But one of the constants that 148 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: I've told you on this show is just be ready 149 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: for everybody. I mean, the answer to that question, Look, 150 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: it's not it's there's no cookie cutter solution to it. 151 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: You've got to do what's best for you. But if 152 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: you are not thinking about it, then you are discarding 153 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: that spirit of rugged individualism that was a hallmark of 154 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: our founders. The idea of rugged individualism and exploration and 155 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: being able to handle yourself without being tethered to the government. 156 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: That is that is a critical part of what it 157 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: means to be an American. And so we hear at 158 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: Fort Parnell, whether it's with the garden and we've got 159 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: we've got fort, we got a chickens coming, and we're 160 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna have, you know, some sort of a chicken city 161 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: name forth is fourth, and we've got goats coming again. 162 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: We're doing everything that we can to homestead so that 163 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: we can be independent from the government and not rely 164 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: on them for anything. Because Frankly, we don't trust them anymore, 165 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: and how could you. Almost every single issue that we 166 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: face in this country, every single issue that we face 167 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: in this country, has been mismanaged by Democrats and Republicans. 168 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I'm a conservative, I'm a Republican. 169 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: We've got great Republicans, some great Republicans in Washington who 170 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: are doing the job and doing it well. But over time, 171 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans have overseen and mismanaged the wealth of 172 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: the greatest country in the face of the planet to 173 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: where today the news came out that forty three percent 174 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: of small businesses were unable to pay their rent in 175 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: full and April due to economic headwinds. That's the highest 176 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: rent delinquency rate since March of twenty twenty one. That's 177 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: per Bloomberg. Small businesses, folks. I don't give a damn 178 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: about global corporations. I mean, like I'm not I'm not 179 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: attacking them, but I'm not talking about them right now. 180 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: Small businesses are the major driver of economic activity here 181 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: in America. They are responsible for the lions share of 182 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: conservative contributions to conservative candidates, to causes that we all support. 183 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: The reason why I've told you last week that this 184 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: insane coalition between Democrat politicians, big media, big social media, 185 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: big and big businesses and one of the most dangerous 186 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: threats that we face in a government that's weaponized against 187 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: half the country is the most dangerous threat that we face. 188 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: If we believe these things, then we also have to 189 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: believe that small businesses are in the crosshairs. And if 190 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: they're the major driver of economic activity in this country, 191 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: if they're the major driver and funder of conservative causes 192 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: all across the country, then it stands to reason that 193 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: a weaponized government even is coming after individuals, it's also 194 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: going to do everything it can to make it harder 195 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: on small businesses to thrive. That's why the COVID lockdowns, 196 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: I mean, in addition to many other things, the COVID 197 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: lockdowns were so devastating on us because they crushed small businesses. 198 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: Big banks flourished, big businesses like Amazon and Walmart flourished. 199 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: It was the small businesses in your hometown hardware stores 200 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: and your hometown grocery stores. Those businesses were crushed. And 201 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: believe me when I tell you it's all by design. 202 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: If they make small businesses weaker, they weaken conservative candidates. 203 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: If they make small businesses weaker, they weaken traditional towns. 204 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: It's all part of the planet. I'm sure you saw 205 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: the news of Astrozeneca coming out today and admitting for 206 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: the first time ever that their COVID vaccine, yeah, I mean, 207 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: had rare side effects of clots. Pay attention to what's 208 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: happening in this country, folks, because news is going to 209 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: trickle out every single day that show that will show 210 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: improved beyond a reasonable doubt. Just how egregious our government's 211 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: behavior was not a long time ago. And if you 212 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: think that these people aren't capable of doing that again, 213 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: you would be wrong. Your faith would be misplaced because 214 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: the power of the presidency is on the line again 215 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Look what they were willing to 216 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: do to steal it in twenty twenty So be prepared, 217 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: take care of yourself and your family in the event 218 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: the worst happens. So let me let's let's pivot. Let's 219 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if you ad off you all watch 220 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: Friends or anything like that, but let's pivot to the 221 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: White House Correspondence dinner. I've been to the White House 222 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: Correspondence dinner before. I did not have a good time 223 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: at the White House correspondence dinner. As you could probably 224 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: tell I am a I don't like getting dressed up. 225 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: Commander Melanie would tell you that I don't like putting 226 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: on a suit all the time. Going to those sorts 227 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: of swanky events aren't really my aren't really my digs, 228 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: so to speak. But I went there, and I have 229 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: to tell you, this is before I ran for any 230 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: political office. And I have to tell you this was 231 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was president, and these people, the level 232 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: of ego that was in the room of these people 233 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: was just off the charts. And this is part of 234 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: the reason why I have such a disdain among a 235 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: disdain for the media. They just they live in their 236 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: own little world. They live in this DC bubble, they 237 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: live in this New York City bubble, and they take 238 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: the train back and forth to those situations, but they 239 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: don't engage in any of the communities in between. They 240 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: rarely extend out beyond their circle. They talk to people 241 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: who all think the same way. They watch the same news, 242 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: they go to the same bars, they go to the 243 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: same social functions. And there's me. I think I was 244 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: there with the Washington Examiner as a guest of one 245 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: of their reporters or something like that. And I could 246 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: not believe how self congratulatory the environment was that you 247 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: would think just in the world that I came from, 248 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: in the world of war fighters, in the world of 249 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: the light infantry, where I served among some of the 250 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: greatest warriors in the world. Now, the light infantry, look, 251 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: we're not Navy seals, we're not down to we're not special, right, 252 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: so we don't often get a lot of the credit 253 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: for the line in the trenches and fighting the fight 254 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: and taking the fight to the enemy. You know, we 255 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: don't leave the battlefield. We're front towards enemy the whole time. 256 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: We have a lot of pride in that. A lot 257 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: of us spree a corps woven into that. But the 258 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: men that I served with, and I say men because 259 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: back then there were no women in the infantry, But 260 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: the men that I served with were all extremely humble. 261 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: Now they had reason not to be. They were ass kickers, 262 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: but they were extremely humble, in fact, quiet professionals in 263 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: many ways. Do you like compare that dynamic to some 264 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: of the reporters who, by the way, went to Harvard 265 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: or went to some Ivy League school or have some 266 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: four year degree who gives a shit, but they act 267 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: like those credentials get make them better than everybody else. Again, 268 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: it's it's one big self congratulate to or a pat 269 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: on the back seminar for all of these journalists who 270 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: walk in all the same circles. Listen to Lester Holt here. 271 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: Just listen to his tone, Listen to how he's talking 272 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: at the podium discussing the Washington Posts and doling out 273 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: awards some of the worst people on the planet. Listen 274 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: to this and now. 275 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: The Catherine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability. It is 276 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 3: of course named in honor of a legendary Washington Post publisher, 277 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: and this year it goes to the newspaper she helmed. 278 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: The judges said, the Washington Post shows courage, sensitivity and 279 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: originality and breaking with journalism industry norms to inform and 280 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: show readers how the AR fifteen weapon inflicts horrific damage 281 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 3: to the human body. The Post was transparent about its 282 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 3: reporting methodology and courageous and publishing graphic images of victims 283 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 3: of mass shootings, including children, and the after effects on 284 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: survivors and families. Ndle this sensitive subject well with prominent 285 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 3: warnings to readers that the images may be disturbing, and 286 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: conversations with the families of the victims ahead of publication 287 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: about the paper's methodology and intentions the posts. 288 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: I just want to put this out there. I just 289 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: want to put this out there for you. Lester Holt 290 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: is talking about publishing the photos of dead children murdered. 291 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: He's talking about posting the victims of an active shooter, 292 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: and of course weaving in there propaganda about the devastation 293 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: of the AR fifteen, which is a two two three bullet, 294 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: which is just slightly bigger than a twenty two. Now, 295 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: there are lots of reporters that don't know a whole 296 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: lot about rifles. They don't know a whole lot about 297 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: ballistics and calibers and sizes of bullets and how powerful 298 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: they are. But they act like they act like an 299 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: AR fifteen bullet extraordinary depth. It's a we used them, 300 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: and we used the M four version variant of that, 301 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: like the military version of that shoots five five six, 302 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: five five six and two two three essentially the same 303 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: same round ones military ones. Not those rounds. Let me 304 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: tell you firsthand experience here. Not powerful enough, not powerful enough. 305 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: But when you're talking about an active shooter, I mean, 306 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: of course, the crimes committed by these evil people who 307 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: commit who commit active shooters, I mean, it's a tragedy, 308 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: it's horrible, it's evil. Again, I don't even want to 309 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: get into the politics of the Second Amendment here. Obviously 310 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: we should not punish the law abiding because a criminal 311 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: commits an act that is upside down policy. It empowers 312 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: criminal criminals, it hurts law abiding Americans. I mean, not 313 00:19:51,320 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: even getting into that. But this ridiculous celebration for publish. 314 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: They're talking about publishing graphic pictures of murdered children and 315 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: calling themselves brave. There's nothing brave about that. There's nothing 316 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: brave about pushing propaganda. But you see what I'm saying, 317 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: They act like they are guardians of democracy, the watchdogs 318 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: of those in power. Really, all that White House Correspondence 319 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: dinner is is one big circle jerk, excuse my language. 320 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: It sickens me now. In addition to being a big 321 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: self congratulatory party, it's also a lighthearted environment where they 322 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: bring in comedians and I have to say, Colin Jost, 323 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: who hosts Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, normally I think 324 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: he's unfunny. He's got potential to be funny. But the 325 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: comedy on SML is so terrible. It only goes one way. 326 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I just comedy is just not comedy has 327 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: changed so much over the last twenty years. It makes 328 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: me sick, especially speaking of someone who used to love 329 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live in in the early nineties, in early 330 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: two thousands. But it's changed. But anyway, anyway, this guy 331 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: was pretty funny. Listen to him going after Biden at 332 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: the White House correspondence dinner. 333 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 2: My Weekend Update co anchor Michael Jay was going to 334 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: join me here tonight, but in solidarity with President Biden, 335 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: I decided to lose all my black support. 336 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: He went on to see. He went on to make 337 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: a cocaine joke. 338 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 2: Listen, it's also wonderful to be back in Washington. I 339 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: loved being in Washington. The last time I was in DC, 340 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: I left my cocaine at the White House. Luckily the 341 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: President was able to put it to good use for 342 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: a State of the Union. I'm kidding. Of course, the 343 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: President doesn't call it cocaine. He calls it speed rail. 344 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: By the way, can you blame the guy for turning 345 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: to cocaine. He must be exhausted orchestrating four separate trials 346 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 2: against his rival, rigging the super Bowl, and gearing. 347 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: Up to steal a second election. Wow, So you see 348 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: the picture of Biden there. Of course, if you're listening, 349 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: you didn't. But there's a major delayed response from Biden 350 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: to all of these jokes. Of course we know why. 351 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't know where the hell he is. He has 352 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: no idea what the jokes are referring to. He has 353 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: no idea that he's even alive, as Trump likes to say. 354 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: But did you notice at the end of that joke 355 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden's doing everything he can to rig an 356 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: election or you know, manage four trials going after the president. 357 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: You heard buckis laughter on many of the other jokes, 358 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: But those jokes there at the end, the people in 359 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: that room didn't really laugh that much. Do you know why, 360 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: because they know that even though he was joking, and 361 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: he was making a joke intended to make light make 362 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: us out to be conspiracy theorists, as if that's not happening. 363 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: The people in that room that didn't get a huge 364 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: laugh because they know it's one hundred percent true, Joe 365 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: Biden is doing all of those things, and they know it, 366 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: and they support it. They allow it to happen. And 367 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: so listen, Joe Biden gets up there, so you have 368 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: this self congratulatory environment. Oh, we're the best. You know, 369 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: you're the best. No, I think you're the best. No, 370 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: I think you're the best reporter there is. It's that 371 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: kind of a vibe. And then you have the funny 372 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: and then Biden gets up there to talk and just 373 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: kills the entire mood with a red meat political speech, 374 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 1: like listen into how terrible this is. 375 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 4: Listen, the defeated former president has made no secret of 376 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 4: his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to 377 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 4: be a dictator on day one and so much more. 378 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 4: You tell supporters he is their revenge and retribution when 379 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 4: in God's may have ever heard of another presidents say 380 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 4: something like that. And he promised a blood bath when 381 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: he loses again. We have to take this seriously. 382 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: I mean so, first of all, most presidents get up 383 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: there and they joke around. They have their comedy speech 384 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: writer write a speech that's funny. When Obama got up there, 385 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: of course, I'm sure that you've seen the video when 386 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: Obama speaking at the White House Correspondence dinner, and he's 387 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: looking at Trump and he's making fun of Trump, saying 388 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: essentially that Trump will never be president. And many people 389 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: that are close to Trump, especially people who are in 390 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: the know, say that that really made Trump angry and 391 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: was actually the catalyst. While Trump was always kind of 392 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: interested in maybe running for office, that that maybe was 393 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: the catalyst to propel him to run for sure and 394 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: to go after and take a real shot at the presidency. So, 395 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: I mean, normally these dinners are funny and lighthearted. Biden 396 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: came in with a very dark message. And of course 397 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: there's this video. There's no sound with it, so there's 398 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: no point in me showing it to you because it 399 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: won't play well for people who are listening. But it's 400 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: just somebody with a cell phone in the crowd just 401 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: doing this number, filming Joe Biden with his utensils trying 402 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: to eat a salad, and I swear to god, I 403 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: mean it's like he was trying to figure out how 404 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: to use a fork in a spoon and how to 405 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: poke a piece of lettuce. It's like he was like, okay, 406 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: telling his brain, okay, arm move put the fork into 407 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the letters, bring the letters up to your like he 408 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: couldn't figure out how to even eat. And there's this 409 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: woman talking to him whole time like blah blah blah 410 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah buth and Biden's looking 411 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: at his salad this woman's time. It's the weirdest thing. 412 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: There's no way that this man is running the show. 413 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way. And here's the real thing. 414 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: What you saw Joe Biden say, those were all hoaxes, 415 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: Like everything that he said was a lie. None of 416 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: it was true. And if we had an honest media, 417 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: this is how you know. We don't mean, of course 418 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: we don't know, But if we had an honest media, 419 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: they would all be live tweeting about how what Joe 420 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: Biden just said there is a lie, but we don't 421 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: because they're all in the tank. So much of what 422 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: the media has become it's about access to them. It's 423 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: about being invited to the swanky parties. It's about being 424 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: invited to the White House Christmas party. It's about being 425 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: able to interview the president in a friendly environment and 426 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: having access to that power. Not realizing that they're destroying 427 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: the nation. All the while, there are a precious few 428 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: voices out there that are truth tellers. And the people 429 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: in the White House correspondence dinner, even though they give 430 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: themselves lots of award, they're not on that list. Okay, 431 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: we got to talk about these campus insurrections. We just 432 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: do because that's what they are. They're not listening to 433 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: law enforcement, they're not following the law. The presidents of 434 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: these universities don't give a damn about what's happening there. 435 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: What's what's crazy to me is that if you're a 436 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: university president, this is like a real simple thing. Of course, 437 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: these are pro Hamas, terrorist sympathizer protesters who are on 438 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: the side of Hamas, chanting from the from the uh, 439 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, basically calling calling for the genocide of the 440 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: Jews in Israel from the river to the sea and 441 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: everything that that that means that genocide Palestine will be free. 442 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it's insane what's going on in these college campuses, 443 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: these little these college campuses have become incubators for terrorist mind. 444 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: It's crazy that parents would spend you know, sixty seventy 445 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: eighty sometimes one hundred thousand dollars a year to these 446 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: indoctrination facilities that turn their kids into little terrorists. And 447 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: that's essentially what they are. They're advocating for Hamas which massacred, 448 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, twelve hundred innocent people. It's it's it's crazy. 449 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: But if you really wanted to deal with this situation, 450 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: you call the police in the moment that the protests 451 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: got out of hand. You tell them to disperse. If 452 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: they don't disperse, you tell them to disperse. If they 453 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: don't disperse, you have the president of the university come 454 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: out and say, Okay, if you don't disperse, we're going 455 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: to suspend you first first time, or we're just going 456 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: to expel you. Just get rid of these kids. If 457 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: that doesn't work, call the police and get them off 458 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: of campus because it's not fair to anybody else who's there. 459 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: And again, can you imagine I saw this video of 460 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: this poor young woman who I think she went to 461 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: USC or UCLA. Her college graduation was canceled because of 462 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: these terrorist sympathizers. Her high school graduation was canceled because 463 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: of COVID, because of her government. Yeah, I just feel bad. 464 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously, so a lot everybody's out 465 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: there talking about you know, these these moronic kids who 466 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: are taking the sides of terrorists, and of course, like 467 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: they are the story, but there are also a lot 468 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: of kids on these campuses who just want to graduate 469 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: and move on with their life, doing the right thing. 470 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: In the media, it's like the craziest thing in the world. 471 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: The Washington Post came out with a story today and 472 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: essentially it was like Trump is seizing on these you 473 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: know what he is saying or anti Semitic protests on 474 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: college campuses, so basically a Republican's pounce type storyline. It's amazing. 475 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: It's like like the Washington Post is faulting Republicans. I mean, seriously, 476 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: try to wrap your mind around this. The Washington Post 477 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: is faulting Republicans for noticing that an entire generation of 478 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: ivy leaguers is calling for the genocide of the Jews 479 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: Holocaust two point zero and we're not even allowed to notice, 480 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: and the media would act the media is acting like 481 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: this is somehow surprising. And this makes me remember my 482 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: time in grad school and when I got back from Afghanistan, 483 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: I was in grad school. I was in a PhD program, 484 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: going to get my PhD in clinical psychology, neuroscience, combat trauma, 485 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: hoping to help veterans who are struggling with PTSD. First 486 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: of all, out of all four years, there's cohorts in 487 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: all four five six years, and then residency thereafter, I 488 00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: was the only conservative. So there's that zero intellectual diversity. 489 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: And the crazy thing about being a college kid back 490 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: in college after having come back from Afghanistan was just 491 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: how immature everybody was. They made mountains out of molehills 492 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: every single day. It's like even the professors, maybe it's 493 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: not accurate to say that they didn't have you know, 494 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: they some of them that they had world experience. They 495 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: were just naive. And I will never forget this as 496 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: long as I live. I'm sitting there in class taking notes. 497 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: Professor comes in and he's like, oh, revolution, Revolution, this 498 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: is when Egypt was in the throes of deposing you know, 499 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: an autocrat. I think it was Hosni Mubarik back then, 500 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: and talking about revolution and how it's wonderful and how 501 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: Egypt is going to be free. And meanwhile, what he's 502 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: who he's celebrating is the Muslim brotherhood taking over taking 503 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: over Egypt or being a part of this Uprising. I mean, 504 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: it was a it's a terrible thing. And of course 505 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: this was the uprising where I think Laura Logan was 506 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: targeted and sexually assaulted. And I said to my teacher, 507 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: my professor, I said, you're cheering on revolution, but it 508 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: sounds like you've never You've got zero experience as to 509 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: what that really means, because revolution often means bloodshed and revolutionaries, 510 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: especially in some of these dictatorship. In these dictatorships like Egypt, women, children, 511 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: they're often targeted, and that's exactly what happened in Egypt. 512 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: And so my point is, having just come back from combat, 513 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: I just found a lot of my professors in a 514 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: lot of them. I'm not trying to like go after 515 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: my fellow students in there. I'm not trying to do that. 516 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: They were just very different from me. I mean, I 517 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: went to a Catholic college, Duqune University in Pittsburgh. I 518 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: love that school, but we had atheist groups protesting on 519 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: campus because they couldn't set up a group at a 520 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: private Catholic college. I'm like, if you're an atheist, why 521 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: are you going to a Catholic college in the first place. 522 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't make any sense. But the level 523 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: of entitlement that comes with these children who are going 524 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: to schools is way worse now than it was back then. 525 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: And so when I see videos like this and I 526 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: saw this over the weekend of a cop picking up 527 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: a protester and carrying him off, like you just got 528 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: to see it because it brighten my day a little bit. 529 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: And if you're having a down day, uh, just listen 530 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: to this. It's pretty good cop. Just even his fellow 531 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: protesters are laughing at if you just get I don't 532 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know if that protester was 533 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: a man or a woman. But the cop just picks 534 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: they them up and carries them off like a baby 535 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: if he throws himself on the ground, almost like a 536 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: four year old who's throwing a temper tantrum. But you 537 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: know what the core of all of this is, when 538 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: we talk about this all the time, is as our 539 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: education system is just utterly failing our children. It's just 540 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: so bad. These colleges are not elite universities anymore. Ivy leagues, 541 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: they're not elite universities any longer. And you know, I've 542 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: got five kids. If they want to go to college 543 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: and that's something they want to commit to. Of course, 544 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: I support them in that. When I grew up, my 545 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: parents used to tell me that going to college was 546 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: absolutely necessary, that you had to do it if you 547 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: wanted to have a good life, and I took their 548 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: advice to followed it. I love my life. I've got 549 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: my degree. Here's the thing. I don't use either of 550 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: my degrees, not my undergrad degree, not my master's degree. 551 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: I don't use either of them. And now I think 552 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: the market, and I think our country is overly saturated 553 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: with in a wash, with consultants who have a degree 554 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: but zero actual life skills. You have kids coming out 555 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: of school now who are hugely entitled, believe that terrorist 556 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: organizations are actually freedom fighters, that are actually being indoctrinated 557 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: to hate our country, and they're coming out expecting sixty 558 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars a year jobs with a degree in 559 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: underwater basket weaving. They can't get it. They wonder why 560 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: they are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and 561 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: working as a barista in Starbucks. No offense to that, 562 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: that's honorable work. But I'm just saying the types of 563 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: people that are coming out of our university's universities in 564 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: today's day and age, they're just not quality. Listen to 565 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: this college kid, honestly, and maybe I'm not trying to 566 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: like go after that, but their faces are blurred out here. 567 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: But does this sound like someone who would be a 568 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: future leader of our country? 569 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 5: Listen, So it sounds like you have you've been familiar 570 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 5: with the issue of palatime before October seven? When did 571 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 5: you first start learning about Palestine? And yeah, yeah, when 572 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 5: was it? 573 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, so not too much. I came up in the 574 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 6: New York City public school system. I think it was 575 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 6: in high school. I had a teacher who, you know, 576 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 6: told us, I mean my background, I'm black and white, 577 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:27,760 Speaker 6: so I didn't and I grew up in a very 578 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 6: more of like American based African diasporas conversations. So I 579 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 6: think it was in high school we started talking about 580 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 6: how Israel was given like the Tuesday and that sort 581 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 6: of thing, and I had a teacher who was like, 582 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 6: I don't think there can be much sympathy for their 583 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 6: position now, given the mass violence they've incited on the 584 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 6: Palestinian people. And I think that was the first time 585 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 6: an educator had ever said that that was my junior 586 00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 6: year at a high school in the Bronx. And yeah, 587 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 6: ever since, I mean I was grown. I grew up 588 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 6: on Obama. I went to his inaugurations, big Democratic household, 589 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 6: and I had no idea that he was responsible dropped 590 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 6: more drone bombs and whatnot on the Middle East and 591 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 6: any president in history. I had no idea he was 592 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 6: a terrorist. That that was not part of what I 593 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 6: was fed growing up as an Obama kid. 594 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: Our high schools are churning out kids that can't read well, 595 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: he can't do math. They've totally discarded science. I mean, 596 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: there was one of these kids that is running a 597 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: protest at Harvard in his essay. I mean my father 598 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: and I were talking about that this weekend. In his 599 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: essay to get into Harvard, all he did was right, 600 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: Black lives matter, Black lives matter, Black lives matter, Black 601 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: lives matter, for like one hundred times he got in. 602 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: You had another, I think on Columbia saying that Zionists 603 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: don't deserve to live. I mean, colleges aren't necessary anymore. Again, 604 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: if my kids want to go there, if they want to, 605 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: they've got a vocational degree, you know, they feel compelled 606 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: that that's the path they want to walk. Of course, 607 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: I love them, I'll support them, I'll do whatever I 608 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: can to support that dream. But we've got a real 609 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: problem on our hands here. And if there is any 610 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: silver lining to any of this, and there is, and 611 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: this is what I'm getting to, is that these insane 612 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: protests I think have exposed to the American people the 613 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: rot that is nested at the core of many of 614 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: these universities. These protests show the American people who were 615 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: maybe on the fence about all of this. Maybe they 616 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 1: don't trust conservative media, maybe they don't fully trust liberal media, 617 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: and they just now they're getting a full dose of it. 618 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: They see it for themselves, and ultimately, I think down 619 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: the line, as people continue to wake up, they might say, 620 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think conn it's worth spending ninety 621 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year to go learn to be a terrorist. 622 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: I just don't think that's worth it. So maybe let's 623 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: find another university other than Harvard for you. Can we 624 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: talk about Christy Ome here for a second. I don't 625 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: do republican O republic. I call it like I see it, Okay, 626 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: I just do. And if you're a Republican if you're 627 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: a staffer of a Republican who's in Washington, I know 628 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: a lot of you all watch this show or listen 629 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: to this show, and you find your boss in my crosshairs. 630 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like, I just gotta call it like I 631 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: see it in Christy Nome. Let's let's talk about Christy 632 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,479 Speaker 1: Ome here for a second. I'm sure you all saw 633 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: the news of what happened with Christinam and her puppy. 634 00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: First of all, I've heard from people in President Trump 635 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: UMP's circle. She's like done for VP. And she had 636 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: I'll just give you the cliff notes version of the story. 637 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: She had a hunting dog named Cricket. Cricket wasn't behaved 638 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 1: while he's fourteen months old, so still a puppy. Christy 639 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: had taken him out on taking her out on hunts. 640 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 1: Dog wasn't behaving. Had the dog at a friend's house, 641 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: jumped out the back of her truck, went after a 642 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: couple of chickens, killed a couple of chickens, and Christy 643 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: Noam made the decision right then and there, well I'm 644 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:35,280 Speaker 1: just gonna shoot and kill this dog. This puppy not good, okay, 645 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: not good. It's from the New York Post because I 646 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: want to try to give you the full picture. Here 647 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: a New York Post headline, Christy nom has no shot 648 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: as Trump's VP. What I just told you after a 649 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: puppy killing controversy, it says no Him. In her second 650 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: term as South Dakota governor, recounted that the final straw 651 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: for Cricket came when the dog jumped out of her 652 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: truck while she was visiting some neighbors. Unfettered, Cricket attacked 653 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: the family's chickens, grabbing one chicken at the time, crunching 654 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: it to death with one bite, then dropping it to 655 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: attack another. According to the governor, when Nome tried to 656 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: restrain the dog, Cricket whipped around to bite me and 657 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: was the picture of joy during the foul killing spree. 658 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: In the same excerpt, Noome described in graphic detail her 659 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: killing a male goat who was nasty and mean because 660 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: it was uncastrated and loved to chase her children. So 661 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: to kill the goat, she dragged the goat to the 662 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 1: gravel pit where she disposed of Cricket just moments earlier, 663 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: and had to shoot him repeatedly to finish the job. 664 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: Now it doesn't do it. It wasn't just shoot the 665 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: goat repeatedly like she shot the goat wounded it didn't 666 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: have enough rounds to finish the job, left the goat 667 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: there in pain, walked back to her house, grabbed more anima, 668 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: and then came out and finished the dog. This is 669 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: after she shot cricket in the head. Um, Christy Nome said, 670 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: I can understand, and so, of course, wait before I 671 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: tell you what Christy Nomes said. People are kind of 672 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: up in arms. They went nuts. Congratulations, Christy Nome, you've 673 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: managed to unite the country and both Democrats and Republicans, 674 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: the vast majority of both are completely opposed to what 675 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: you did. And again we're gonna unpack this here in 676 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: a second. But people this weekend were freaking out about it. 677 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: I talked to Melanie in about I talked to Commander 678 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: Melanie about it. I actually talked to my aunt Cindy 679 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: about it too, who is a huge animal and has 680 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: a bunch of German shepherds. You can imagine how my 681 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: aunt Cindy was feeling about it. She was really really 682 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: upset about this. But before we unpack this, let me 683 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: tell you what Christy Nomes said, She said, I can 684 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: understand why some people are upset about a twenty year 685 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: old story of cricket, one of the working dogs at 686 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: our ranch. In my up and coming book No Going Back, 687 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: Like you notice the book Plug, The book is filled 688 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: with many honest stories of my life, good and bad days, challenges, 689 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: painful decisions, and lessons learned what I learned from my 690 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: years of public service, especially leading the South South Dakota 691 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: through covid IS. People are looking for leaders who are authentic, 692 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: willing to learn from the past, and don't shy away 693 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 1: from tough challenges. My hope is anyone reading this book 694 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: will have an understanding that I always work to make 695 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: the best decisions I can for the people in my life. 696 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 1: The fact is South Dakota law states the dogs who 697 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: attack and kill livestock can be put down. Okay, so 698 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: a couple things people, she says, right off the bat, 699 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: people are upset about a twenty year old story of cricket. 700 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: So she's saying, right there, it's an old story, it 701 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. And the whole point of this statement 702 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 1: is to say I'm capable, I'm strong, I can make tough, 703 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: unpopular decisions. My first thought when reading this statement was 704 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: you know where my mind went directly, My mind went. 705 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: My mind went to you couldn't even stand up to 706 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:58,760 Speaker 1: transactivists to prevent boys from playing in girls' sports. So look, 707 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 1: here's what I'm gonna say. Here's what I say here. Okay, 708 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:08,720 Speaker 1: I know farm being on a farm, living on a ranch, 709 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: it's different. I get it. I have friends who have 710 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: family dogs, and I have friends those very same friends 711 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: have hunting dogs, and they see the hunting dolls dogs 712 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: as tools. I see they've got family dogs. I get it. Okay, 713 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: I get it. But it's a fact of life that ranches, 714 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: on ranches and on farms, animals have to be put down. 715 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: Otherwise how would we eat. But Christy Noam did this 716 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: in anger, and she says it was because of a 717 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: behavioral issue. So here's what I'm getting to. I mean, 718 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: she also says, and I quote, I hated that dog 719 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: at the moment I realized I had to put her down. Okay, 720 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: so fine, just just bear with me here. So first 721 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: of all, this is a puppy only fourteen months old. 722 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,439 Speaker 1: If you talk to any hunting dog expert, which I've 723 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 1: talked to several over the last couple of days trying 724 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: to get a sense of is this out of the ordinary? 725 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: Very few hunting dogs at the age of fourteen months 726 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 1: would ever be able to go on a hunt and 727 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 1: be well behaved on a hunt. So there's that zero 728 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: behavioral modification. Wouldn't just give the dog to a shelter, 729 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: And this is how most Americans are going to think 730 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,240 Speaker 1: about this. Wouldn't just give the dog to a shelter, 731 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: Give the dog to a friend, try to train it, 732 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: give it away. Hunting dog attacking chickens not the biggest 733 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 1: surprise in the world. I mean, I have a dog. 734 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: We have Pufps McGee. Believe me when I tell you 735 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: Puffs McGee is crazy. She runs around like a crazy person. 736 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: We have horses and the house behind us. We have 737 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: the most amazing neighbors in the world. But Pupps McGee 738 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: running their field, running the horse crap, take a shower 739 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: in the horse crap, and come back. And there are 740 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: times where I get really mad at pups McGee. Never 741 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: do I want to drag Pupps McGee out to a 742 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: gravel pit and shoot her. But my point is if 743 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 1: I did think about doing that, maybe I would think 744 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,240 Speaker 1: about giving the dog away first. So but here's here's 745 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: here's the thing, here's the thing. So that's just that's 746 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: just my thoughts. I think there are a lot of 747 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: things she could have done other than just shoot the dog, right, 748 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,879 Speaker 1: But let me just say this, Okay, and again I'm 749 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,439 Speaker 1: trying to approach this with nuance. I know people who 750 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: lived on farms that maybe that that have had to 751 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: take actions like this. Okay, but my, my, my shock 752 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: at all of this. The real shock is as kind 753 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: of horrible as it all was, is the political angle. 754 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: What are you thinking? Like? So I initially when I 755 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: heard this story, I thought to myself, well, maybe she 756 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: thought that the story was going to come out. If 757 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: she's a vice president contender, she thought that the story 758 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: was going to come out, and better for her politically 759 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: to control the narrative on her own and release it 760 00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 1: on her own terms. But that's not what happened. This 761 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 1: from a Miranda Divine article. Listen to this. This is 762 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: the thing that's crazy. We finally felt, well, there's a 763 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: lot about this. It's a little bit crazy. So I'm 764 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 1: but again I'm trying to just be fair here. We 765 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: finally found an issue that unites the country, Trump's potential 766 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: VP pick. Shooting her dog for Noam to dine out, 767 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: to dine out on the story as she's done for years, 768 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 1: and then use it to sell books shows shocking judgment. 769 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 1: Four years ago, she was warned that the story would 770 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: appall most Americans across ideological and party lines, but all 771 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 1: she did was add the embellishment that the dog tried 772 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 1: to bite her after the chicken. So I'm telling you, 773 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 1: folks around her, I'm looking in the live tap because 774 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: I want to see I see someone saying politically stupid. 775 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: I want to see if somebody disagrees with me. If 776 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: you disagree with me, throw it in there. I'm fine 777 00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: with it. I understand that people have different lives and 778 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: farms are different, But speak politically stupid is where I'm 779 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: coming from. Like, why would you put it in your book? 780 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 1: Why would you make it a focal point of your book? 781 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,839 Speaker 1: I don't get it. And if you were warned about 782 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: it before, surely there could have been a better way, Christy. 783 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,720 Speaker 1: But I can tell you Unfortunately for Christy, I think 784 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:29,720 Speaker 1: that her chances of being a VP are gone. I 785 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: I so okay, so Ultra saying I think she's getting 786 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: way too much flack. She's she's a farmer, not a 787 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,760 Speaker 1: city boy. Had to kill a rabbit in my yard 788 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 1: that my dog bit last year. Okay, Okay, yeah, okay, 789 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: So Whiskey's saying it's politically stupid, but I'm not gonna 790 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: hang her as we don't know the full situation. Well, 791 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,359 Speaker 1: I mean, she did write about in her book. That's 792 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: the thing that kills me, Whiskey, she wrote about it 793 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: in her book. Okay, let me go over to the 794 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: live chat again. I want to see. Okay, So people 795 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: were saying, if she wrote this and that is politically stupid, 796 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: I sure as hell do not want her one heart 797 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: beat away from from the president. Yeah, not smart politically 798 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: a person I know their parrot was killed by her 799 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: greyhound to have the dog, I mean yeah, so look, 800 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: there's there's like she's proud of it or something. Anyone 801 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: who can shoot a dog's not anyone I would like. 802 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm a major pet lover. They are my kids. Yeah, 803 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: so look, this is obviously something that people have feelings 804 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,439 Speaker 1: about one way or the other. But hey, it happened, right, 805 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 1: it's politics, right, she was on the short list for 806 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: vice president. We've got to talk about it, right, Otherwise 807 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: what good is the show? Okay, things that were strangely 808 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 1: kept from we the people. I've got to talk about this. 809 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: So turns out the FBI and the National Archives were 810 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: holding all of Trump's secret material that ended up finding 811 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: its way down to mar Lago, and they ended up 812 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 1: giving Trump an ultimatum and told him to go and 813 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: pick up these documents that they then charged him for 814 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: a crime with Julie Kelly has been amazing on this, 815 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 1: and this is directly from some of these documents that 816 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 1: Judge Cannon released. So one of the things that I 817 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about. If you remember, some time after 818 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: the administration ended, GSA had approximately six pallets of items 819 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 1: boxes I believe, that were stored in Virginia, and at 820 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: some point I guess there were maybe a time limit. 821 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure. They contacted the Office of forty 822 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 1: five Donald Trump to inform them that, you know, they 823 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 1: have to go. They someone has to pick them up, 824 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,240 Speaker 1: or they have to be shipped or something to that effect. 825 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 1: Does that ring a bell with you all? So here 826 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: they're telling Donald Trump to pick up the classified documents 827 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: that they charged him for at mar Lago. This is 828 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 1: absolutely an insane, corrupt, self licking ice cream cone and 829 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: Julie Kelly with more, she says. The White House visitor 830 00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: log shows that David Ferraro, Obama appointed nowational archivist, involved 831 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,800 Speaker 1: in the early stages of the quote classified document scheme 832 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: against Trump, met with Biden's White House counsel Dana Remis 833 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,359 Speaker 1: twice at the White House in September of twenty twenty one. 834 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: Ferraro called January sixth the worst day of his life 835 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: and started threatening Team Trump in the summer of twenty 836 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 1: twenty one with making a criminal referral to the DOJ 837 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: over allegedly destroyed presidential records. You see, this is nothing 838 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 1: more than one big deep state hit job against President Trump. 839 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 1: The deep state is real. It's ridiculous, how how deep 840 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 1: the rabbit hole goes. Okay, National Pulse headline again, I 841 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 1: want you to think about the timing of all this. Okay, 842 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: the National Pulse headline us Intel suggests Putin did not 843 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: orchestrate Navalny's death. Now you endured a week of the 844 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:03,279 Speaker 1: Democrats and their allies in the media saying Navarni was 845 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 1: murdered by Putin. Putin's a brutal dictator. He is evil, 846 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: and this is why we have to fund Ukraine right 847 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: now out of the House of Representative. This is why 848 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 1: we have to do it. Back then, I told you 849 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: that this seems kind of curious. Why would Putin do this? 850 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 1: Why would you want to make Navalny a martyr during 851 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 1: an election year? Navalny was locked away in a Siberian prison. 852 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: Surely the guy wasn't going to be a problem to 853 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:31,240 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. And again, why Maka Mamara made no sense. 854 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 1: There was no incentive for Putin to kill the guy. 855 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,680 Speaker 1: He already had him under control. There was an incentive 856 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,879 Speaker 1: for other countries to kill the guy. I don't know 857 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,760 Speaker 1: how they would get to him in a Siberian prison, 858 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 1: but I can tell you that our CIA they have 859 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: that capability. So that curious that this headline the intelligent 860 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: US Intel suggests Putin did not orchestrate Navalny. US intelligence 861 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,359 Speaker 1: agency suggested that Russian President Vladimir Poos is unlikely to 862 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: have orchestrated the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. I mean, 863 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 1: isn't it interesting that this stuff gets leaked out to 864 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,240 Speaker 1: the media after we've already passed aid to Ukraine after 865 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: the sixty one billion dollars has passed. Your good, no 866 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,439 Speaker 1: need to kind of cover it up anymore, no need 867 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,879 Speaker 1: to use Navalny's death as a way to pressure Republicans 868 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: to vote for funding for Ukraine. You see how the 869 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 1: game is played, right. I'd be remiss if I didn't 870 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 1: show you these headlines that everyone else is glossing over. 871 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: How about this headline from zero Hedge headline Ukraine army 872 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: chief admits tactical retreat is underway. The commander in chief 873 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Cecerski, has just 874 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 1: issued a new dire assessment confirming widespread international reports that 875 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: Ukraine forces are getting beaten back from the front lines. 876 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: He confirmed that his outnumbered troop have fallen back positions 877 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: on the eastern front. General Sisserski has essentially admitted for 878 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 1: the first time that a tactical retreat is underway. Again. 879 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 1: This news comes out after aid to Ukraine was passed. 880 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: You see how this works. I hope you see how 881 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 1: this works, folks, because this is some This is some 882 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: corrupt stuff. This is why you cannot trust anything that 883 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 1: the mainstream media is giving you. Even at some of 884 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: the I mean, I mean big media and and god, 885 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: look I was, I was got friends at work at Fox. 886 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: There are even people there who get manipulated by intel agencies. 887 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 1: You would be shocked how much control our intelligence agencies 888 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,439 Speaker 1: have over the narratives that vast majority of Americans are 889 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 1: fed on a day to day basis. Then you would 890 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 1: think they would tell you this stuff. You would think 891 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: if we had an honest media, they would say, well, 892 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,799 Speaker 1: why are you releasing the Oh? Anyone that with half 893 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: a brain would say, what, you released this stuff after 894 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,320 Speaker 1: we've passed a sixty one billions, after Ukraine got exactly 895 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 1: what they wanted. Oh, then you go and release all 896 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: this information. Give me a break. So it's left the 897 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: people like me to tell you about this stuff and 898 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 1: other you know, great patriots like the National Pulse Right 899 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,720 Speaker 1: and zero Hedge. They're telling you about it, but mainstream 900 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 1: outlets not telling you anything. Okay, I've got to talk 901 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: to you about this terminal demographic decline that we are 902 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: experiencing here in America. Elon Musk has has has drawn 903 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 1: attention to this, but it's a very very serious thing. 904 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 1: Let me add this to my screen and for those 905 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 1: of you all who are just looking at it. What 906 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: you're looking at as a graph, a line graph that 907 00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 1: says US total fertility rate fourth four birth per woman. 908 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: And in nineteen forty it was almost it was just 909 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 1: a probably two point seven, and nineteen fifty it was 910 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 1: almost three point five. In nineteen sixty it was over 911 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: three point five. So you could see if you're looking 912 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,759 Speaker 1: at this graph, it goes up from nineteen forty up 913 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 1: to nineteen fifty, up to nineteen sixty, and then in 914 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,360 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy it just plummets. And from nineteen seventy, nineteen eighty, 915 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety, we are well below replacement level at two 916 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:36,239 Speaker 1: point one children per births per woman per family, essentially, 917 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 1: and now we are lower than even that. And so 918 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:45,240 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk put out on X that the US fertility 919 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 1: rate fell to just one point six children per women 920 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,840 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, the lowest figure in American history. 921 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:56,320 Speaker 1: America had fewer children born last year than in nineteen eighty, 922 00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: when we had one hundred million fewer people. So this 923 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,279 Speaker 1: is very, very, very bad, because we're not having enough 924 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 1: children to sustain our society, to sustain our way of life. 925 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 1: Want you want to know why our immigration system has 926 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 1: been out of control for so long. You want to 927 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: know why. They say people that believe in the great 928 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 1: replacement theory are conspiracy theorists, because without illegal immigrants coming 929 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: to this country, over time, America will collapse in on 930 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 1: itself like a dying star. And if you look at 931 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 1: Politico and all the lefties coming out in the reaction 932 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 1: to this news, they're spinning this stuff as if it's 933 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 1: no big deal. Politico put out this article today the 934 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 1: far rights campaign to explode the population behind the scenes 935 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 1: at a natal conference where Motley, a Motley alliance is 936 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 1: throwing out the idea of winning converts to their cause 937 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: and trying to make their own instead. The threat we're 938 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: told here this weekend is existential, biological epic defining economies 939 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 1: will will fail, civilizations will fail, and it will all 940 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 1: happen because people aren't having enough babies. They basically say 941 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: that's a bunch of crap throughout this entire article. But folks, 942 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,439 Speaker 1: this is a big problem. It's a big problem because 943 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 1: if we don't have babies as Americans, our country will fail. 944 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: And I think there's something more happening here than meets 945 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,440 Speaker 1: the eye. You see Our enemies want us in terminal 946 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: demographic decline, Americans not having enough children to sustain our society. 947 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 1: They want that an America that doesn't have children, that 948 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have a legacy, that doesn't have something to fight 949 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: the future to fight for, is America that is weaker. 950 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 1: So let's flash forward. I want to show you how 951 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,840 Speaker 1: flash for is the wrong word. But I want to 952 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: show you this trend on on TikTok that talks about 953 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 1: dinks as an acronym dnks. DINKS stand for dual income 954 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 1: no kids, and what it does is essentially celebrate life 955 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 1: married couples, life without children. Listen to this. 956 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 7: Here's how we spend most for our Saturdays in our 957 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 7: early thirties. We slept until seven, but laid in bed 958 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 7: till eight. I got out of bed and did some laundry, 959 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 7: then made the bed, I changed into workout clothes and 960 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 7: drank my ag one. Then I supervised David while he 961 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 7: did the dishes. I made us smoothie, and then we 962 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 7: relaxed and caught up on work on the back porch. 963 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 7: After that, I got on the treadmill for about an hour. 964 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 7: We had dinner reservations with friends, so I got to 965 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 7: take my time getting ready, and then we headed out. 966 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 7: We met our friends for dinner and drinks, and we 967 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 7: were still in bed by ten o'clock. It was a 968 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 7: great day. 969 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 1: Nothing about that's appealing to me. And now listen to 970 00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: each his own. I understand that if kids aren't a 971 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: part of your life's plan, I understand that. But what's 972 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 1: happening here is this TikTok trend of dinks is being 973 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 1: promoted in the TikTok algorithm. Who controls the TikTok algorithm, 974 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 1: the communist Chinese. They push all sorts of insidious things 975 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 1: on the children of our country here. They want our 976 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,440 Speaker 1: children not having children, they want they don't want them 977 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 1: to fight for the future of this country. I mean, 978 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 1: there's something about when you have children. Not only does 979 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: your life change for the better. I mean, children are 980 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: a challenge in a million different ways, but they also 981 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 1: bring an unbelievable amount of joy into your life. But 982 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 1: a society that doesn't have kids is a society that's weaker. 983 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 1: But there's something about having children that makes you want 984 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 1: to fight for your future of this country to make 985 01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 1: sure that they inherit a future that is free. You know, 986 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: people that don't have kids. I wonder I'm afraid that 987 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 1: that the younger generation, if they don't have kids, they 988 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 1: might not fight as hard for this country. And you 989 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: see the problem with with you know, many people will 990 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 1: probably say, well, you know, parents need to Conservatives certainly 991 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,400 Speaker 1: say well, parents need to make sure that if their 992 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 1: kids are watching TikTok and they're seeing this dual income 993 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 1: no kids stuff, that they should say, hey, no, listen 994 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 1: having kids meeting the right person, having kids, having a 995 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: family's a great thing. Don't listen to this trend. But 996 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 1: the problem is it's so hard to keep up with 997 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,560 Speaker 1: all of this, all of the social media stuff and 998 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: all these new apps. And I used to joke around 999 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: with my grandmother as a kid where she used to 1000 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 1: ask me to set up the cable on her TV 1001 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 1: or turn on the cable box, and I'd be like, 1002 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: oh man, my grandma doesn't even understand basic cable and 1003 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,480 Speaker 1: now here I am. I don't even understand all these 1004 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 1: social media apps that are coming out. So my point 1005 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: is there are probably lots of great parents out there 1006 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,280 Speaker 1: that maybe just don't even know the social media apps 1007 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: that their kids are using and don't know simply don't 1008 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 1: know what their kids are watching, so maybe they don't 1009 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: say anything about these trends. And so these trends spread 1010 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: like a virus across our country and we end up 1011 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,919 Speaker 1: with children thinking that I'm gonna grow up, I'm gonna 1012 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 1: get married, I'm not gonna have kids. And again I'm 1013 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm not judging that if that's true, If not having 1014 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 1: children as part of is not something that you want 1015 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: to do, I'm not saying you should. But what I'm 1016 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 1: saying is that this is clearly something that's being pushed 1017 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 1: on our country. Whereas you see this trend dual income, 1018 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 1: no kids being pushed by the communist Chinese, no doubt 1019 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 1: celebrated in the algorithm on TikTok, it's being pushed because 1020 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 1: they know, the communist Chinese that they know that this 1021 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: makes our country weaker. The right sees the alarming trends 1022 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 1: in the facts and the numbers and the data, they 1023 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 1: raise the red flag and they say, hey, something isn't 1024 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 1: right here, this is unsustainable, and the left immediately responds 1025 01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 1: with propaganda making fun of the right. That's how you 1026 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 1: know that this is a real thing, that conservatives are 1027 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: onto something here. So if you're a parent you're watching 1028 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: or listening to the show. Make sure your children talk 1029 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 1: to them about what they want to do with their futures. 1030 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 1: Talk to them about having a family. Talk to them 1031 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 1: about meeting the right person and how important that is. 1032 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: You have conversations with your children about what they're watching 1033 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,240 Speaker 1: on social media. Are those conversations difficult? Absolutely? Do your 1034 01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: kids want to talk to you about that stuff all 1035 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,440 Speaker 1: the time? No, doesn't mean that as parents we should 1036 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 1: stop trying. Because if we're not having enough children in 1037 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 1: this country to sustain our society, the America that we 1038 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 1: all know and we all love will undoubtedly perish. I 1039 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,640 Speaker 1: remember being in Afghanistan thinking like, oh my gosh, if 1040 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,000 Speaker 1: I get killed over here, I'm not going to have 1041 01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: a legacy. Now I've got an amazing wife, I'm living 1042 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 1: the American dream and you know, fighting to pay the 1043 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: bills just like everybody else. Got five amazing kids I 1044 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 1: love more than anything in the world, and I want 1045 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 1: them to have a country that's great. And you know, 1046 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 1: kids are a roller coaster ride, they really really are. 1047 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: They'll come with a field manual on how to raise them, 1048 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 1: but it's one of the most rewarding things in the world. 1049 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 1: And parents should have conversations with their kids about that. 1050 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 1: So anyways, folks, thank you for being with me. I'm 1051 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 1: putting together, cobbling together a great show for you all tomorrow. 1052 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: Thank you for sticking with me for a little over 1053 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:33,240 Speaker 1: the hour today.
