More bad news on 4 00:00:23,057 --> 00:00:26,257 Speaker 1: the economic front for the American people, as the GDP 5 00:00:26,657 --> 00:00:30,097 Speaker 1: in this country shrank by one point four percent last quarter, 6 00:00:30,377 --> 00:00:33,057 Speaker 1: well blow the one percent growth that had been predicted 7 00:00:33,057 --> 00:00:36,977 Speaker 1: by economists. Surprise, Oh yeah, such a surprise. Democrats are 8 00:00:37,017 --> 00:00:39,897 Speaker 1: blaming the economic slowdown on everything from Vladimir Putin to 9 00:00:39,937 --> 00:00:42,617 Speaker 1: people not paying their fair share to anyone who's been 10 00:00:42,617 --> 00:00:45,337 Speaker 1: paying attentions in twenty twenty one. Just the latest evidence 11 00:00:45,377 --> 00:00:48,537 Speaker 1: that Bidenomics is not working for the American people. Friends, 12 00:00:48,577 --> 00:00:56,777 Speaker 1: it is time for holding on. Welcome to holding on on, 13 00:00:56,897 --> 00:01:00,977 Speaker 1: buck Sexton. Bad economy. Biden can't turn it around, and 14 00:01:01,137 --> 00:01:03,577 Speaker 1: he's responsible for so much of the crappy decision making 15 00:01:03,617 --> 00:01:05,537 Speaker 1: as we've seen. So what are they gonna do. Well, 16 00:01:05,817 --> 00:01:07,497 Speaker 1: they're gonna lie to you about it. They're gonna try 17 00:01:07,497 --> 00:01:09,937 Speaker 1: to hide the football. They're gonna try to pretend that 18 00:01:10,377 --> 00:01:12,377 Speaker 1: it's someone else's fault. But we're not going to let 19 00:01:12,417 --> 00:01:14,737 Speaker 1: them get away with that. Here's a graphic that'll show 20 00:01:14,737 --> 00:01:17,537 Speaker 1: you where we are right now. GDP growth in the 21 00:01:17,737 --> 00:01:21,257 Speaker 1: Biden administration and a sad Biden face. They're one point 22 00:01:21,417 --> 00:01:25,737 Speaker 1: four percent down in this quarter. Now, this is this Isiden, 23 00:01:25,857 --> 00:01:29,017 Speaker 1: very solemn face. This is of course, what could be 24 00:01:29,057 --> 00:01:32,897 Speaker 1: the beginning of a recession. You get two quarters of 25 00:01:32,977 --> 00:01:35,777 Speaker 1: negative economic growth, you are officially in a recession. And 26 00:01:35,817 --> 00:01:38,937 Speaker 1: we could well be seeing that because remember inflation is 27 00:01:38,937 --> 00:01:41,497 Speaker 1: at a forty year high eight point five percent for 28 00:01:41,537 --> 00:01:45,337 Speaker 1: the last month, which is a lot, and that is 29 00:01:45,377 --> 00:01:48,497 Speaker 1: just eating away at any economic gains, any financial gains 30 00:01:48,537 --> 00:01:52,417 Speaker 1: folks could have. So how do the people American people 31 00:01:52,537 --> 00:01:56,257 Speaker 1: feel about the economy right now? Well, two percent think 32 00:01:56,297 --> 00:02:00,377 Speaker 1: it's excellent, and I think they're probably in the employee 33 00:02:00,497 --> 00:02:04,777 Speaker 1: of the West wing of this White House and or 34 00:02:04,857 --> 00:02:07,497 Speaker 1: just completely disconnected from reality. Maybe they can't read a survey, 35 00:02:07,577 --> 00:02:09,897 Speaker 1: or they like being more poor than they were before. 36 00:02:10,737 --> 00:02:13,617 Speaker 1: Eighteen percent say good, Yeah, those are left wing Democrats 37 00:02:13,657 --> 00:02:15,777 Speaker 1: who hate Trump so much. That's down twenty six percent 38 00:02:15,817 --> 00:02:19,617 Speaker 1: from last year. By the way, forty two percent say poor, 39 00:02:19,657 --> 00:02:22,457 Speaker 1: thirty eight percent say fair. I mean, these are huge 40 00:02:22,977 --> 00:02:29,057 Speaker 1: increases in the negative direction for the economy because things 41 00:02:29,097 --> 00:02:31,457 Speaker 1: are not going well. People actually can observe this, right, 42 00:02:31,497 --> 00:02:33,857 Speaker 1: you see what's going on with the price of gas. 43 00:02:33,977 --> 00:02:36,537 Speaker 1: You see how much more expensive your grocery bill is. 44 00:02:36,977 --> 00:02:39,217 Speaker 1: You know that, you feel that that's real. They can 45 00:02:39,257 --> 00:02:41,057 Speaker 1: tell you it's not, but you know that they're lying 46 00:02:41,097 --> 00:02:44,377 Speaker 1: to you. So that's an issue. Biden's got to figure 47 00:02:44,377 --> 00:02:47,137 Speaker 1: a way to spin this because they are heading into 48 00:02:47,257 --> 00:02:51,497 Speaker 1: a nightmarish mid term election. Going to be so great 49 00:02:51,537 --> 00:02:53,977 Speaker 1: for America, freedom and all that is good in the world, 50 00:02:54,017 --> 00:02:57,897 Speaker 1: but the Democrats are going to be really sad. Despite 51 00:02:58,017 --> 00:03:02,337 Speaker 1: the GDP drop for the first quarter, Biden wants you 52 00:03:02,377 --> 00:03:06,297 Speaker 1: to know, there's enormous, enormous growth in the economy. Watch 53 00:03:06,377 --> 00:03:10,617 Speaker 1: this one. I think we're what you're seeing is enormous 54 00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:15,337 Speaker 1: growth in the country that it was affected by everything 55 00:03:15,377 --> 00:03:18,417 Speaker 1: from COVID and the COVID blockages that we've occurred along 56 00:03:18,457 --> 00:03:23,617 Speaker 1: the way, COVID blockages or something, you know whatever, something 57 00:03:23,697 --> 00:03:26,697 Speaker 1: like that. Right, No, no, No, What you've actually seen is, 58 00:03:26,697 --> 00:03:29,417 Speaker 1: first of all, we spend too much money and lockdowns 59 00:03:29,457 --> 00:03:32,697 Speaker 1: which were championed by Democrats, but they did occur under 60 00:03:32,857 --> 00:03:36,137 Speaker 1: the Trump administration at some level too. So we do 61 00:03:36,217 --> 00:03:38,537 Speaker 1: need to be cognizant of reality because we're not the left, 62 00:03:38,537 --> 00:03:39,737 Speaker 1: We're not going to make it up. Here, we spend 63 00:03:39,737 --> 00:03:42,297 Speaker 1: too much money. The inflation is a problem. Remember, the 64 00:03:42,337 --> 00:03:45,497 Speaker 1: Democrats want to spend even more money though already beyond 65 00:03:45,697 --> 00:03:50,657 Speaker 1: the existing the existing deficit spending that's going to be 66 00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:53,017 Speaker 1: going on based on automatic spending in the federal budget. 67 00:03:53,537 --> 00:03:55,697 Speaker 1: So they're crazy. I mean, they're just going to make 68 00:03:55,737 --> 00:03:59,417 Speaker 1: this whole thing worse. But what are they going to do? Well? 69 00:03:59,537 --> 00:04:03,057 Speaker 1: You see the politics of envy and of class warfare 70 00:04:03,097 --> 00:04:05,377 Speaker 1: are always the go to for Democrats because people are 71 00:04:05,377 --> 00:04:07,017 Speaker 1: feeling the pain right now at the pump, at the 72 00:04:07,057 --> 00:04:09,657 Speaker 1: grocery store, paying their mortgage. Go try to buy a 73 00:04:09,777 --> 00:04:12,177 Speaker 1: used car, You'll say to yourself, mine, gosh, this has 74 00:04:12,217 --> 00:04:16,057 Speaker 1: gotten really expensive used cars. Both think about that. And 75 00:04:16,257 --> 00:04:19,337 Speaker 1: Joe Biden says that if we really want to turn 76 00:04:19,377 --> 00:04:21,097 Speaker 1: this thing around, you know, we have to do again, 77 00:04:21,097 --> 00:04:23,377 Speaker 1: like I said, a little class warfare. Let's just talk 78 00:04:23,417 --> 00:04:28,537 Speaker 1: about how Republicans need to pay their fair share. Why 79 00:04:29,057 --> 00:04:32,177 Speaker 1: for our Republican friends are really interested in doing something 80 00:04:32,217 --> 00:04:37,017 Speaker 1: about dealing with the economic growth, and they should help 81 00:04:37,137 --> 00:04:39,977 Speaker 1: us continue to lower the deficit, which we've done last 82 00:04:40,057 --> 00:04:42,817 Speaker 1: year over three and fifty billion dollars. They should be 83 00:04:42,817 --> 00:04:45,017 Speaker 1: willing to work with us to have a tax code 84 00:04:45,057 --> 00:04:50,577 Speaker 1: that is actually one that works, and everybody pays their 85 00:04:50,617 --> 00:04:54,697 Speaker 1: fair share, and they should be in a position where 86 00:04:56,257 --> 00:04:58,537 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be raising taxes on middle class folks. You 87 00:04:58,617 --> 00:05:02,297 Speaker 1: should be raising taxes on people who everyone acknowledges in 88 00:05:02,337 --> 00:05:04,697 Speaker 1: the vast majority of Republicans on paying their fair share. 89 00:05:06,297 --> 00:05:10,337 Speaker 1: The vast majority of Republicans, notices aren't paying their fair 90 00:05:10,377 --> 00:05:13,777 Speaker 1: share last time I checked. You know, Jeff Bezos is 91 00:05:13,817 --> 00:05:17,537 Speaker 1: a huge Democrat, big lid, and go down the list. 92 00:05:17,697 --> 00:05:20,097 Speaker 1: A lot of the richest people in the country, in 93 00:05:20,137 --> 00:05:24,177 Speaker 1: the world are Democrats. We know this, right. Nancy Pelosi's 94 00:05:24,177 --> 00:05:28,177 Speaker 1: super rich, He's a Democrat. There's so many rich Democrats. Hollywood, 95 00:05:28,377 --> 00:05:30,817 Speaker 1: New York City, the Upper East Side, Santa Monica. These 96 00:05:30,817 --> 00:05:34,217 Speaker 1: are all Democrats strongholds. In fact, the wealthiest parts of 97 00:05:34,257 --> 00:05:39,097 Speaker 1: every city in the country are overwhelmingly Blue Democrats stronghold. 98 00:05:39,177 --> 00:05:41,777 Speaker 1: So what is he even talking about. Republicans have to 99 00:05:41,817 --> 00:05:45,097 Speaker 1: pay their fair share. Yeah, okay, a small business owner 100 00:05:45,097 --> 00:05:47,697 Speaker 1: who lives in Oklahoma is making fifty grand a year. 101 00:05:47,777 --> 00:05:50,417 Speaker 1: He's not paying his fair share. A lot of Republicans 102 00:05:50,417 --> 00:05:54,257 Speaker 1: just like that, folks. It's all just blather from these idiots, 103 00:05:54,297 --> 00:05:56,377 Speaker 1: because what are they gonna say, we're bad at our jobs, 104 00:05:56,457 --> 00:05:59,097 Speaker 1: we don't know what we're doing. Our whole class warfare 105 00:05:59,217 --> 00:06:01,897 Speaker 1: stick isn't going to get it done. I mean, Joe 106 00:06:01,897 --> 00:06:04,937 Speaker 1: Biden somehow maybe what was it, seventeen million dollars after 107 00:06:04,937 --> 00:06:08,097 Speaker 1: he was vice president. That's interesting, five million of it unexplained, 108 00:06:08,097 --> 00:06:10,777 Speaker 1: by the way. But oh, he's just fighting for the folks. 109 00:06:10,897 --> 00:06:13,417 Speaker 1: You see, he cares about the working class, sure he does. 110 00:06:13,657 --> 00:06:15,497 Speaker 1: You know who else pretends that cares so much about 111 00:06:15,497 --> 00:06:19,577 Speaker 1: the working class, Chuck Schumer. And now that they're saying 112 00:06:19,617 --> 00:06:21,857 Speaker 1: as well, Republicans who aren't in power and don't get 113 00:06:21,897 --> 00:06:24,777 Speaker 1: to make decisions, they're not doing anything to make this better. 114 00:06:24,857 --> 00:06:28,497 Speaker 1: Here's the Senate majority leader. Democrats are focused like a 115 00:06:28,617 --> 00:06:33,537 Speaker 1: laser on developing and passing legislation to lower costs and 116 00:06:33,897 --> 00:06:38,537 Speaker 1: improve americans daily lives. It is our top priority, and 117 00:06:38,657 --> 00:06:42,097 Speaker 1: higher gas prices is the place where Americans feel it 118 00:06:42,257 --> 00:06:46,137 Speaker 1: the most. But passing legislation to fight higher gas prices 119 00:06:46,177 --> 00:06:49,977 Speaker 1: at the pump is at the very top of our list. 120 00:06:50,697 --> 00:06:53,337 Speaker 1: The American people didn't send us here to just point 121 00:06:53,377 --> 00:06:55,737 Speaker 1: fingers a blame at each other. That seems to be 122 00:06:55,777 --> 00:06:57,777 Speaker 1: what our colleagues on the other side of the ai'll do. 123 00:06:57,897 --> 00:07:04,057 Speaker 1: They don't have any constructive suggestions, no constructive suggestions. How 124 00:07:04,097 --> 00:07:06,297 Speaker 1: about get out of the way, stop taxing people, stop 125 00:07:06,297 --> 00:07:09,657 Speaker 1: with your regulation, unleash the energy sector, fossil fuel energy, 126 00:07:09,737 --> 00:07:12,657 Speaker 1: that is is, stop telling industry that you're going to 127 00:07:12,697 --> 00:07:16,417 Speaker 1: be taxing them even more, Stop telling people that they're 128 00:07:16,457 --> 00:07:19,057 Speaker 1: not paying their fair share. Get out of the way. 129 00:07:19,137 --> 00:07:22,617 Speaker 1: America is the greatest engine of economic prosperity and growth 130 00:07:22,617 --> 00:07:26,217 Speaker 1: of any country in history. Get out of the way lives. 131 00:07:26,297 --> 00:07:29,697 Speaker 1: But they won't do it. Fact Pelosi, who somehow it's 132 00:07:29,777 --> 00:07:33,577 Speaker 1: really good at investing in the stock market for somebody 133 00:07:33,577 --> 00:07:35,417 Speaker 1: who has a whole lot of what would be considered 134 00:07:35,417 --> 00:07:39,617 Speaker 1: inside information, right but anyway, Nancy Pelosi, but they're exempted 135 00:07:39,617 --> 00:07:41,257 Speaker 1: from that. As you know, Congress doesn't really have to 136 00:07:41,257 --> 00:07:43,657 Speaker 1: play by insider information laws the same way as other people. 137 00:07:43,977 --> 00:07:47,177 Speaker 1: Belosi says that it's exploitation by the oil companies. That's 138 00:07:47,177 --> 00:07:51,177 Speaker 1: the problem for gas prices. Watch so lowering cost at 139 00:07:51,257 --> 00:07:54,417 Speaker 1: the pump, lowering cost at the kitchen table. That's what 140 00:07:54,617 --> 00:07:58,817 Speaker 1: Democrats are about. And again we're going to beginning down 141 00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:02,377 Speaker 1: this path with very serious legislation that is for now 142 00:08:03,017 --> 00:08:07,817 Speaker 1: recognizing COVID and what that has done to supply the Ukraine, 143 00:08:07,897 --> 00:08:10,937 Speaker 1: what that has done to supply, but ignizing there is 144 00:08:10,977 --> 00:08:15,897 Speaker 1: an ongoing exploitation and manipulation that its own fair to 145 00:08:15,937 --> 00:08:21,617 Speaker 1: America's working families. Ah Yes, brainless pseudo populism. Courtesy of 146 00:08:21,697 --> 00:08:25,137 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi.

You often won't find out 155 00:08:46,057 --> 00:08:48,657 Speaker 1: about this until you get the payment demands to the mail, 156 00:08:48,697 --> 00:08:51,817 Speaker 1: perhaps even an eviction notice from your home.

Well, I'm not concerned 166 00:09:25,337 --> 00:09:30,457 Speaker 1: about a recession. I mean, you're always concerned about that recession. 167 00:09:30,497 --> 00:09:36,377 Speaker 1: But the GDP, you know, filled to one. Yeah, you 168 00:09:36,417 --> 00:09:38,817 Speaker 1: know whatever that's supposed to mean. Despite the bad news 169 00:09:38,857 --> 00:09:42,337 Speaker 1: about America's economic growth, President Biden is saying he's, you know, 170 00:09:42,417 --> 00:09:45,177 Speaker 1: not that worried about our recession. Really probably worth noting 171 00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:47,777 Speaker 1: he wasn't worried about the long term effective inflation either. 172 00:09:47,937 --> 00:09:51,817 Speaker 1: But here we are at least one major financial institution 173 00:09:52,177 --> 00:09:55,177 Speaker 1: is worried about a recession. This week, economist at Deutsche 174 00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:58,297 Speaker 1: Bank predicted a quote major recession could be on its way, 175 00:09:58,617 --> 00:10:01,057 Speaker 1: claim it would likely be worse than the investment bank 176 00:10:01,137 --> 00:10:05,057 Speaker 1: initially predicted. So could America be headed for recession or 177 00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:08,257 Speaker 1: is there still time to let's say right the plane 178 00:10:08,777 --> 00:10:12,457 Speaker 1: I mean now. Senior economic at FreedomWorks, Steve Moore, Steve, 179 00:10:12,497 --> 00:10:16,217 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Thank you. I mean, so 180 00:10:16,377 --> 00:10:18,817 Speaker 1: just put it in the context. How bad is the 181 00:10:18,857 --> 00:10:20,937 Speaker 1: news today before I get the predictions and the other 182 00:10:20,937 --> 00:10:23,777 Speaker 1: things going here? One point five I'm sorry, one point 183 00:10:23,777 --> 00:10:28,897 Speaker 1: four percent GDP decrease. What's that like? It's very negative 184 00:10:28,937 --> 00:10:32,257 Speaker 1: and it's shockingly negative. I mean, first of all, anytime 185 00:10:32,297 --> 00:10:34,457 Speaker 1: you get a negative number on GDP, that's bad. It 186 00:10:34,497 --> 00:10:38,057 Speaker 1: means the economy is contracting. It means people are getting poorer. 187 00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:43,497 Speaker 1: But more importantly, you know, we should be booming right now. 188 00:10:43,617 --> 00:10:46,897 Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, COVID is over, businesses are reopening, 189 00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:49,337 Speaker 1: people are going out back out to restaurants and stores. 190 00:10:49,617 --> 00:10:54,097 Speaker 1: You've got the all of these factors that should be 191 00:10:54,297 --> 00:10:56,497 Speaker 1: We should be bib or six or seven percent positive 192 00:10:56,537 --> 00:10:58,777 Speaker 1: growth right now. And I think if Trump for president, 193 00:10:58,817 --> 00:11:02,177 Speaker 1: that's about where we would be. It's amazing how much 194 00:11:02,257 --> 00:11:05,137 Speaker 1: bideness screwed up this economy in fourteen months now. The 195 00:11:05,217 --> 00:11:11,177 Speaker 1: driving factor behind this bad report was inflation. Inflation is 196 00:11:11,217 --> 00:11:14,097 Speaker 1: the villain here. If you look at the nominal GDP, 197 00:11:14,457 --> 00:11:17,857 Speaker 1: that's the GDP not adjusted for inflation, there was a 198 00:11:17,937 --> 00:11:20,897 Speaker 1: solid number. We grew by five five and a half percent. 199 00:11:21,057 --> 00:11:24,817 Speaker 1: The problem is all of those gains were just eroded 200 00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:27,217 Speaker 1: by this tidal wave of inflation. That's how we got 201 00:11:27,217 --> 00:11:31,057 Speaker 1: a negative number. So you better do something, Joe Biden 202 00:11:31,097 --> 00:11:33,857 Speaker 1: about spending, which is why yesterday when he announced that 203 00:11:33,977 --> 00:11:36,217 Speaker 1: we're going to forgive one point six trillion dollars of 204 00:11:36,257 --> 00:11:38,177 Speaker 1: debt and you have the federal government pay that off, 205 00:11:38,337 --> 00:11:40,657 Speaker 1: and then today he says we're gonna have another thirty 206 00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:44,777 Speaker 1: three billion dollars for Ukraine. They're just spending money like 207 00:11:44,857 --> 00:11:49,377 Speaker 1: it's candy, and that's the driving force of this inflation. Yeah, 208 00:11:49,457 --> 00:11:51,737 Speaker 1: I want to ask just a little more about that 209 00:11:51,897 --> 00:11:55,977 Speaker 1: specific points, Steve, because they're now saying, of course it's 210 00:11:55,977 --> 00:11:57,817 Speaker 1: the Putin price hike, which that's not going to fly 211 00:11:57,897 --> 00:12:00,377 Speaker 1: there because we can see inflation was starting long before 212 00:12:00,457 --> 00:12:03,657 Speaker 1: what happened in Ukraine. That's talking point fell away pretty quickly. 213 00:12:03,657 --> 00:12:06,737 Speaker 1: But they are saying, well, there was a lot of 214 00:12:06,777 --> 00:12:10,337 Speaker 1: spending that occurred during lockdowns, let's say, and under the 215 00:12:10,337 --> 00:12:14,177 Speaker 1: Trump administration, and so this is really you're hearing this argument. 216 00:12:14,257 --> 00:12:17,817 Speaker 1: Biden only spent one point nine trillion of emergency COVID 217 00:12:17,857 --> 00:12:20,737 Speaker 1: funding in twenty twenty one. It was all that Trump 218 00:12:20,817 --> 00:12:23,177 Speaker 1: indoors spending in twenty twenty that was the problem. What 219 00:12:23,217 --> 00:12:26,177 Speaker 1: do you say to that? Sure, I mean we spent 220 00:12:26,497 --> 00:12:29,257 Speaker 1: poor order five trillion dollars we didn't have on COVID, 221 00:12:30,017 --> 00:12:34,057 Speaker 1: you know, so it's true. Okay, that's reality. All this 222 00:12:34,217 --> 00:12:37,897 Speaker 1: money we borrowed, more money than we possibly could. You 223 00:12:37,977 --> 00:12:39,577 Speaker 1: have to wonder what did we get from four to 224 00:12:39,657 --> 00:12:42,097 Speaker 1: five trillion dollars? A million people still died of COVID. 225 00:12:42,177 --> 00:12:43,977 Speaker 1: I mean, I think if we just a department of 226 00:12:43,977 --> 00:12:46,217 Speaker 1: government just help people be safe, do the right thing. 227 00:12:46,257 --> 00:12:48,697 Speaker 1: This is a dangerous virus. You know, all this money 228 00:12:49,697 --> 00:12:52,337 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been spent and we wouldn't have this big 229 00:12:52,377 --> 00:12:54,777 Speaker 1: problem with inflation. Right now. We've got to get the 230 00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:57,177 Speaker 1: spending down. We've got to get you know, America drilling 231 00:12:57,177 --> 00:13:00,337 Speaker 1: again and getting our energy independent again, and the FED 232 00:13:00,497 --> 00:13:02,137 Speaker 1: is going to have to suck some of this inflation 233 00:13:02,177 --> 00:13:05,657 Speaker 1: out of the economy. Now. I've done a number of 234 00:13:05,697 --> 00:13:07,657 Speaker 1: interviews today. People always ask, well, wasn't that going to 235 00:13:07,737 --> 00:13:09,937 Speaker 1: hurt the economy if we if we try to fight 236 00:13:09,937 --> 00:13:13,977 Speaker 1: the inflation. And my point is, look, if if if 237 00:13:14,017 --> 00:13:16,457 Speaker 1: I had a diagnosis said you've got a tumor, the 238 00:13:16,497 --> 00:13:18,497 Speaker 1: first thing you do is take out the tumor, right, 239 00:13:18,817 --> 00:13:21,177 Speaker 1: I mean, you know this idea that we just let 240 00:13:21,177 --> 00:13:24,297 Speaker 1: this inflation linger. The longer lingers, the worse it's going 241 00:13:24,377 --> 00:13:26,457 Speaker 1: to get. We haven't had inlay you know this. We 242 00:13:26,497 --> 00:13:29,137 Speaker 1: haven't an inflation like this in forty years. We had 243 00:13:29,137 --> 00:13:32,297 Speaker 1: one point five percent inflation when Trump left. Fourteen months later, 244 00:13:32,497 --> 00:13:35,497 Speaker 1: we're eight and a half percent. And again, the match 245 00:13:35,737 --> 00:13:39,537 Speaker 1: that lit this forest fire was out of control government 246 00:13:39,577 --> 00:13:41,937 Speaker 1: spending and yes some of it was under Trump, and 247 00:13:41,977 --> 00:13:45,017 Speaker 1: then Biden came in and spent another three trillion. So 248 00:13:45,137 --> 00:13:48,257 Speaker 1: you published a piece on foxens dot com today in 249 00:13:48,337 --> 00:13:53,057 Speaker 1: which you warned about stagflation. Just remind everybody what would 250 00:13:53,097 --> 00:13:54,857 Speaker 1: that look like and why do you think we could 251 00:13:54,857 --> 00:13:58,097 Speaker 1: be heading towards stagflation? Well, for those who are not 252 00:13:58,217 --> 00:14:00,177 Speaker 1: familiar with that term, because we haven't had it for 253 00:14:00,217 --> 00:14:03,977 Speaker 1: a long time in America, stagflation is the combination of 254 00:14:04,137 --> 00:14:08,057 Speaker 1: runaway inflation, which we clearly have right now, plus a retreating, 255 00:14:08,937 --> 00:14:12,577 Speaker 1: shrinking economy. Now we're not in a segulation now again, 256 00:14:12,577 --> 00:14:16,097 Speaker 1: if we, if we, the economy couldn't rally this quarter. 257 00:14:16,537 --> 00:14:21,177 Speaker 1: But it remembered, two quarters in a row of negative 258 00:14:21,177 --> 00:14:24,657 Speaker 1: growth is officially any recession. So we've had one quarter, 259 00:14:25,257 --> 00:14:28,497 Speaker 1: we get one more quarter. We are technically in a recession. 260 00:14:28,617 --> 00:14:31,257 Speaker 1: I still think there's time to adjust to this. But 261 00:14:31,697 --> 00:14:33,977 Speaker 1: when I hear Biden talk about, you know, we're a 262 00:14:34,057 --> 00:14:37,937 Speaker 1: raise spending, and then I hear Chuck Schumer yesterday saying 263 00:14:37,937 --> 00:14:41,297 Speaker 1: the best way to fight inflation was the major tax increase. Really, 264 00:14:41,817 --> 00:14:44,097 Speaker 1: how in the world is a major tax increase going 265 00:14:44,137 --> 00:14:47,817 Speaker 1: to cause the economy to do better? A very good 266 00:14:47,897 --> 00:14:50,097 Speaker 1: question I'm wondering. I was gonna ask you about it. 267 00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:54,337 Speaker 1: Here here's Pelosi and Schumer blaming oil company profiteering and 268 00:14:54,457 --> 00:14:57,377 Speaker 1: hoarding for high Guy's process watch. They are hoarding the 269 00:14:57,457 --> 00:15:01,137 Speaker 1: windfall while keeping prices high for people at the pump. 270 00:15:01,537 --> 00:15:04,137 Speaker 1: And this time of war, at any time, there's no 271 00:15:04,217 --> 00:15:09,177 Speaker 1: excuse for big oil companies to protect, to profiteer, to 272 00:15:09,377 --> 00:15:14,577 Speaker 1: price gal or exploit families. Oil companies last year made 273 00:15:14,737 --> 00:15:21,337 Speaker 1: record profits on these tragedies, almost like vultures. We have 274 00:15:21,377 --> 00:15:23,857 Speaker 1: the Ukraine tragedy, we have the COVID tragedy, and do 275 00:15:23,937 --> 00:15:26,657 Speaker 1: they try to make things better? No, they come in 276 00:15:26,857 --> 00:15:30,897 Speaker 1: and make record profits. What do you say to that 277 00:15:32,177 --> 00:15:35,017 Speaker 1: all companies are in business to make money and to 278 00:15:35,057 --> 00:15:38,537 Speaker 1: make profits, And are we supposed to believe that all 279 00:15:38,537 --> 00:15:40,337 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Joe Biden came into office, and all 280 00:15:40,377 --> 00:15:43,817 Speaker 1: of a sudden, these companies got greedy. I mean, companies 281 00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:45,817 Speaker 1: always try to make as much money as they can. 282 00:15:46,897 --> 00:15:50,417 Speaker 1: We wouldn't have this crisis in energy and the high 283 00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:52,537 Speaker 1: gas prices that are reaching five and in some cases 284 00:15:52,537 --> 00:15:55,217 Speaker 1: six dollars a gallon around the country if we just 285 00:15:55,297 --> 00:15:58,697 Speaker 1: continue to promote American oil and gas. Let's not forget that. 286 00:15:58,777 --> 00:16:02,457 Speaker 1: Joe Biden said multiple times when he was running for 287 00:16:02,537 --> 00:16:06,737 Speaker 1: president and even as president that his objective and many 288 00:16:06,777 --> 00:16:09,577 Speaker 1: of his of his aides have said the same thing. 289 00:16:09,737 --> 00:16:12,177 Speaker 1: We want to destroy the American oil and gas industry. 290 00:16:12,377 --> 00:16:15,257 Speaker 1: So they reduced dramatically the amount of oil and gas 291 00:16:15,297 --> 00:16:17,777 Speaker 1: we produce, and guess what happens. That means the price 292 00:16:17,857 --> 00:16:20,257 Speaker 1: goes up. And for those oil companies that have the 293 00:16:20,337 --> 00:16:22,857 Speaker 1: oil gas, they have gotten a profit out of this, 294 00:16:22,897 --> 00:16:25,537 Speaker 1: because the price of oil under Biden went from sixty 295 00:16:25,537 --> 00:16:28,657 Speaker 1: dollars to one hundred and ten dollars a barrel. What 296 00:16:28,697 --> 00:16:31,297 Speaker 1: are we looking at in the next six months. It 297 00:16:31,377 --> 00:16:35,137 Speaker 1: feels like we've got some bad indicators here. Inflation is 298 00:16:35,457 --> 00:16:38,897 Speaker 1: obviously at this forty year high, and the Biden administration 299 00:16:38,937 --> 00:16:40,417 Speaker 1: when they come. It would be one thing if they 300 00:16:40,457 --> 00:16:42,337 Speaker 1: were saying, Stephen, that they were going to do the 301 00:16:42,417 --> 00:16:44,177 Speaker 1: right things to fix it. But sometimes it sounds like 302 00:16:44,177 --> 00:16:48,577 Speaker 1: they're trying to make it worse exactly. That's what makes 303 00:16:48,577 --> 00:16:51,337 Speaker 1: me so nervous about this. You know, they want to 304 00:16:51,337 --> 00:16:53,177 Speaker 1: spend more, they want to tax more. There was a 305 00:16:53,177 --> 00:16:55,217 Speaker 1: new regulation that came out last week that's going to 306 00:16:55,297 --> 00:16:58,937 Speaker 1: cost our companies six billion dollars to comply. You know 307 00:16:58,977 --> 00:17:00,977 Speaker 1: the fact that the borders out of control, the rising 308 00:17:01,057 --> 00:17:05,777 Speaker 1: energy prices reverberate throughout the economy. We now have globally 309 00:17:05,857 --> 00:17:08,817 Speaker 1: a food shortage, which is a you know, it could 310 00:17:08,817 --> 00:17:12,137 Speaker 1: be a catastrophe, is real hunger and even a famine 311 00:17:12,257 --> 00:17:15,617 Speaker 1: in many areas of the world. So these are troubling times. 312 00:17:16,137 --> 00:17:19,177 Speaker 1: And I just want to point again to the fact 313 00:17:19,217 --> 00:17:23,377 Speaker 1: that we've let this inflation monster out of the bottle 314 00:17:23,577 --> 00:17:25,777 Speaker 1: and it's hard to get hard to stick that genie 315 00:17:25,817 --> 00:17:27,777 Speaker 1: back in the bottle. But we better do it quickly 316 00:17:28,257 --> 00:17:30,577 Speaker 1: because there's no way we're going to get growth in 317 00:17:30,617 --> 00:17:34,457 Speaker 1: the economy if you've got eight nine percent inflation, it's 318 00:17:34,497 --> 00:17:39,217 Speaker 1: almost impossible. Steve, appreciate the expertise as always, Thanks for 319 00:17:39,217 --> 00:17:41,177 Speaker 1: being I wished I had a better upbeat thing. We 320 00:17:41,217 --> 00:17:44,857 Speaker 1: can still get as as my buddy Larry Cudloy says, 321 00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:48,177 Speaker 1: the cavalry is coming, but right now the policy regime 322 00:17:48,457 --> 00:17:54,457 Speaker 1: in Washington is very negative. Yeah, obviously that's what we 323 00:17:54,497 --> 00:17:57,617 Speaker 1: see happening. Steve, thanks so much, Thank you, Thank care 324 00:17:57,617 --> 00:18:01,137 Speaker 1: of President Biden yesterday declared a room full of teachers 325 00:18:01,177 --> 00:18:04,497 Speaker 1: that America's children are quote yours when they're in the classroom. 326 00:18:04,537 --> 00:18:07,257 Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't like that one. My parents disagree. 327 00:18:07,257 --> 00:18:08,817 Speaker 1: We've got more on it with New York Post Commis 328 00:18:08,897 --> 00:18:10,817 Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz in a moment. I want to talk to 329 00:18:10,817 --> 00:18:12,857 Speaker 1: you about protecking your online data. First, A lot of 330 00:18:12,897 --> 00:18:15,297 Speaker 1: companies say your privacy is guaranteed. We know that's not true. 331 00:18:15,497 --> 00:18:18,137 Speaker 1: That's why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application 332 00:18:18,217 --> 00:18:21,297 Speaker 1: called Secure. Its spelled SEK. You are.

Florida's statutes say, you know, teach about all 353 00:19:24,377 --> 00:19:26,897 Speaker 1: these different things, including things like slavery in the civil 354 00:19:27,017 --> 00:19:30,057 Speaker 1: rights movement. That is not critical race theory. I mean, 355 00:19:30,097 --> 00:19:32,817 Speaker 1: that is just those are historical facts. That's part of 356 00:19:32,857 --> 00:19:36,537 Speaker 1: American history. And so we're doing all of that. About 357 00:19:36,537 --> 00:19:39,817 Speaker 1: what we've said to teachers is those are the standards 358 00:19:40,057 --> 00:19:43,057 Speaker 1: if you're if you're departing from that and you're teaching 359 00:19:43,137 --> 00:19:45,817 Speaker 1: kids based on race, or if you're doing any of 360 00:19:45,857 --> 00:19:49,177 Speaker 1: this stuff, you're departing from the standards, and you could 361 00:19:49,217 --> 00:19:51,177 Speaker 1: be you could be disciplined as a result of that. 362 00:19:52,497 --> 00:19:54,817 Speaker 1: Evorada Santists has put his state of Florida at the 363 00:19:54,817 --> 00:19:57,977 Speaker 1: forefront of the battle against critical race theory and woke 364 00:19:58,177 --> 00:20:01,817 Speaker 1: teachers unions from rejecting certain public school textbooks to enacting 365 00:20:01,857 --> 00:20:06,137 Speaker 1: the parent Parents' Rights in Education Bill Zennis has led 366 00:20:06,257 --> 00:20:09,857 Speaker 1: a push to form education standards and practices in the sunshine. 367 00:20:10,617 --> 00:20:14,217 Speaker 1: So when will others follow suit? See the light? Let's 368 00:20:14,217 --> 00:20:17,457 Speaker 1: ask New York Post columnist Carol Markowitz. Carol, great to 369 00:20:17,457 --> 00:20:21,937 Speaker 1: have you give up. Thanks for having me. It's amazing, 370 00:20:22,017 --> 00:20:27,657 Speaker 1: isn't it? To watch as the narrative shifted, because early 371 00:20:27,777 --> 00:20:31,337 Speaker 1: on they were they were talking about this don't say 372 00:20:31,617 --> 00:20:34,017 Speaker 1: gay bill, and it sounds, of course, so ominous, that 373 00:20:34,017 --> 00:20:36,377 Speaker 1: sounds horrible. You're gonna say you can't say that we're gay. 374 00:20:36,417 --> 00:20:38,897 Speaker 1: I mean, the left censor's words and says you can't 375 00:20:38,897 --> 00:20:41,017 Speaker 1: say things. Of course, that's not in the bill. That's 376 00:20:41,017 --> 00:20:42,577 Speaker 1: not the name of the bill. The whole thing was 377 00:20:42,617 --> 00:20:47,137 Speaker 1: a big propaganda fight from the activists, and turns out 378 00:20:47,177 --> 00:20:49,377 Speaker 1: people in the state of Florida and actually crossed the country, 379 00:20:49,417 --> 00:20:53,817 Speaker 1: including Democrats, are supportive of it. It's such an obvious thing. 380 00:20:53,977 --> 00:20:57,737 Speaker 1: Who wants their case through third grader learning about sexual 381 00:20:57,777 --> 00:21:01,297 Speaker 1: orientation or any kind of gender you know, mishmash that 382 00:21:01,377 --> 00:21:04,057 Speaker 1: they have going on right now. I think that's such 383 00:21:04,057 --> 00:21:06,817 Speaker 1: a basic thing for so many parents. And the thing 384 00:21:06,977 --> 00:21:09,657 Speaker 1: was about this don't say gay bill is It's just 385 00:21:09,697 --> 00:21:12,937 Speaker 1: as much don't say straight straight is a sexual orientation. 386 00:21:13,057 --> 00:21:16,257 Speaker 1: So the idea that you couldn't talk about gay relationships, 387 00:21:16,257 --> 00:21:18,817 Speaker 1: you can't talk about any relationships, you can't get into 388 00:21:18,857 --> 00:21:21,137 Speaker 1: sexual orientation at all. And I think that's a great thing. 389 00:21:21,177 --> 00:21:23,457 Speaker 1: I have a kindergartener, I have a third grader, and 390 00:21:23,497 --> 00:21:25,057 Speaker 1: I have a sixth grader, and I know that the 391 00:21:25,097 --> 00:21:27,177 Speaker 1: sixth grader can handle things that the younger two just 392 00:21:27,257 --> 00:21:32,137 Speaker 1: simply can't. Seems like common SAIS is something that the 393 00:21:32,177 --> 00:21:35,297 Speaker 1: state of Florida is embracing. And I also think that 394 00:21:35,337 --> 00:21:39,097 Speaker 1: as Democrats continue to speak on the issue of schools 395 00:21:39,097 --> 00:21:42,417 Speaker 1: and the teachers unions and shutdowns and CRT and gender 396 00:21:42,457 --> 00:21:44,977 Speaker 1: identity theory and all this other stuff, more and more 397 00:21:44,977 --> 00:21:46,857 Speaker 1: Americans saying what's going on here? And then there's just 398 00:21:46,897 --> 00:21:49,337 Speaker 1: the general philosophy the Democrats seem to have. I mean, 399 00:21:49,337 --> 00:21:52,617 Speaker 1: this was just just recently Biden talking to a room 400 00:21:52,657 --> 00:21:54,737 Speaker 1: full of teachers. This is what This is what he 401 00:21:54,817 --> 00:21:57,217 Speaker 1: said to a room full of teachers. Watch. You've heard 402 00:21:57,217 --> 00:22:01,297 Speaker 1: me say many times about our children, but it is true. 403 00:22:01,537 --> 00:22:05,377 Speaker 1: They're all our children. And the recent years the teachers 404 00:22:05,377 --> 00:22:08,617 Speaker 1: are the years because you recognize that they're not somebody 405 00:22:08,617 --> 00:22:10,897 Speaker 1: else's children are like yours when they're in the classroom. 406 00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:14,857 Speaker 1: They're not somebody else's children. They're like yours when you're 407 00:22:14,857 --> 00:22:17,297 Speaker 1: in the classroom. I don't have kids. You do, but 408 00:22:17,577 --> 00:22:20,377 Speaker 1: I'm guessing you don't think that that your kids belong 409 00:22:20,457 --> 00:22:24,177 Speaker 1: to the teachers too. I'm just saying, nobody was cleaning 410 00:22:24,257 --> 00:22:26,457 Speaker 1: up puke three nights ago, and my kids were all 411 00:22:26,497 --> 00:22:30,137 Speaker 1: sick overnight except me. So unless somebody wants to step 412 00:22:30,177 --> 00:22:32,297 Speaker 1: in and help out with that, they're not their kids 413 00:22:32,537 --> 00:22:36,177 Speaker 1: and my teacher. My kids have had really phenomenal teachers, 414 00:22:36,177 --> 00:22:38,617 Speaker 1: both in Florida and in New York, who cared a 415 00:22:38,617 --> 00:22:41,217 Speaker 1: lot about them, who worried about them, who made sure 416 00:22:41,257 --> 00:22:44,537 Speaker 1: that they were okay, But when my kids went to 417 00:22:44,617 --> 00:22:48,017 Speaker 1: the next grade, those teachers didn't like feel longing for 418 00:22:48,097 --> 00:22:50,537 Speaker 1: them like I will when they go to college, for example. 419 00:22:51,417 --> 00:22:54,537 Speaker 1: It's a very different relationship. It's nice for a teacher 420 00:22:54,577 --> 00:22:57,297 Speaker 1: to care about their students, but it's not a parental 421 00:22:57,297 --> 00:22:59,537 Speaker 1: relationship at all. And the idea that these kids belong 422 00:22:59,617 --> 00:23:02,737 Speaker 1: to anybody but the parents, it's step one in this fight. 423 00:23:02,897 --> 00:23:05,537 Speaker 1: Those are my kids and they're not anybody else's kids. 424 00:23:06,537 --> 00:23:09,417 Speaker 1: And I think that there's also an awakening that has 425 00:23:09,457 --> 00:23:12,977 Speaker 1: happened across the country in Florida very much on the 426 00:23:13,017 --> 00:23:16,017 Speaker 1: forefront of this, and that is who are the schools really? 427 00:23:16,417 --> 00:23:19,857 Speaker 1: Who is operating the school system and to whose benefit? 428 00:23:20,017 --> 00:23:24,777 Speaker 1: Right during the pandemic in particular, Florida was open much faster, 429 00:23:24,977 --> 00:23:27,297 Speaker 1: much sooner in terms of its schools than so many 430 00:23:27,337 --> 00:23:31,657 Speaker 1: other places. Here is the American Federation of Teachers, I 431 00:23:31,737 --> 00:23:35,697 Speaker 1: call her the Education Commissar Randy Weingarten talking about how 432 00:23:35,777 --> 00:23:39,697 Speaker 1: Republicans just hate public schools. Watch. The bottom line is this, 433 00:23:40,417 --> 00:23:43,537 Speaker 1: they just don't want public schools, you know, they you know, 434 00:23:43,617 --> 00:23:48,097 Speaker 1: Milton Friedman didn't want public schools, and they wanted to 435 00:23:48,177 --> 00:23:52,737 Speaker 1: have choice or universal voucher systems, but this time they 436 00:23:52,737 --> 00:23:56,057 Speaker 1: don't even care if they even have public education, and 437 00:23:56,137 --> 00:24:00,377 Speaker 1: they won't brutalize anyone who is in their way. What 438 00:24:00,457 --> 00:24:03,297 Speaker 1: do you make of this, Carol? So you know, I 439 00:24:03,457 --> 00:24:06,377 Speaker 1: have three kids in public schools, and it's very interesting 440 00:24:06,417 --> 00:24:10,297 Speaker 1: because in Florida I feel safe leaving them in book 441 00:24:10,337 --> 00:24:13,097 Speaker 1: schools because I know that Randy Winegarden simply won't have 442 00:24:13,137 --> 00:24:15,417 Speaker 1: the kind of control over them that she has in 443 00:24:15,497 --> 00:24:18,337 Speaker 1: places like, say in New York, and part of a 444 00:24:18,497 --> 00:24:21,057 Speaker 1: large part of that is Governor de Santists and the 445 00:24:21,137 --> 00:24:24,617 Speaker 1: laws that he is passing. I feel confident that my 446 00:24:24,737 --> 00:24:28,097 Speaker 1: kids won't be brainwashed into leftism here, and that's such 447 00:24:28,097 --> 00:24:31,057 Speaker 1: a big thing for parents. I'm not against public schools again. 448 00:24:31,097 --> 00:24:33,697 Speaker 1: I could send my kids to private I choose not to. 449 00:24:34,177 --> 00:24:36,937 Speaker 1: And I think the idea that that conservatives hate public 450 00:24:36,977 --> 00:24:40,017 Speaker 1: schools and want to smash them is ridiculous. And nobody 451 00:24:40,057 --> 00:24:43,377 Speaker 1: did more to smash the public school system than Randy Winegarden. 452 00:24:43,777 --> 00:24:46,617 Speaker 1: She said that schools were not essential, basically, and we 453 00:24:46,737 --> 00:24:50,057 Speaker 1: believed her. So I'm very much for school vouchers to 454 00:24:50,097 --> 00:24:54,097 Speaker 1: get kids out of the public school systems where Winegarden 455 00:24:54,137 --> 00:24:56,897 Speaker 1: has a lot of control. But for places like Florida, 456 00:24:56,977 --> 00:25:01,697 Speaker 1: where Ronda Santist stands between us and these insane teachers unions, 457 00:25:02,177 --> 00:25:06,297 Speaker 1: you know, public schools were great. What are you what 458 00:25:06,497 --> 00:25:09,177 Speaker 1: are you seeing right now from the governor? I mean, 459 00:25:09,177 --> 00:25:12,377 Speaker 1: obviously the Parents Rights Bill covered a number of issues, 460 00:25:12,817 --> 00:25:16,537 Speaker 1: but just the what is the overall philosophy that he's 461 00:25:16,657 --> 00:25:19,297 Speaker 1: using for the public school system in the state of Florida. 462 00:25:19,377 --> 00:25:21,257 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if this could be a model for 463 00:25:21,337 --> 00:25:24,457 Speaker 1: some other states because on the pandemic, I'll just say it, 464 00:25:24,497 --> 00:25:26,897 Speaker 1: Florida was the model and it's why you live there now. Florida, 465 00:25:26,977 --> 00:25:30,657 Speaker 1: Florida was the beacon of sanity and actual usage of 466 00:25:30,817 --> 00:25:33,777 Speaker 1: data while all these other places completely lost their minds. 467 00:25:34,057 --> 00:25:37,657 Speaker 1: So what does that look like from education content? Yeah, 468 00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:40,257 Speaker 1: that's really what I'm thinking that it's going to be 469 00:25:40,297 --> 00:25:43,257 Speaker 1: a model for other states to follow if they, you know, 470 00:25:43,377 --> 00:25:46,817 Speaker 1: take the lead. I think that they should. I think we'll. 471 00:25:46,817 --> 00:25:49,497 Speaker 1: Governor to Santis is doing is presenting a very kid's 472 00:25:49,657 --> 00:25:52,377 Speaker 1: first model of schooling, which is something we just simply 473 00:25:52,417 --> 00:25:56,377 Speaker 1: haven't had for a while. This leftism, this leftist vocism 474 00:25:56,377 --> 00:25:59,497 Speaker 1: that spreading in public schools around the country it's very serious, 475 00:25:59,537 --> 00:26:01,737 Speaker 1: it's very damaging, and it's and you know, we started 476 00:26:01,737 --> 00:26:07,297 Speaker 1: this conversation with whether CRT it means not teaching history. 477 00:26:07,337 --> 00:26:09,777 Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. As round To Santa said in the first clip, 478 00:26:10,777 --> 00:26:14,337 Speaker 1: the CRT means that you'll have less time for history, 479 00:26:14,657 --> 00:26:18,137 Speaker 1: you won't be learning enough math. It really will have 480 00:26:19,217 --> 00:26:23,057 Speaker 1: a long term harm on academics. So parents who want 481 00:26:23,097 --> 00:26:27,417 Speaker 1: their kids to learn should motivate their politicians to follow 482 00:26:27,497 --> 00:26:31,377 Speaker 1: round to Santis's lead. And I just want to know 483 00:26:31,417 --> 00:26:35,537 Speaker 1: what you think of the ability to mobilize parents going 484 00:26:35,577 --> 00:26:38,337 Speaker 1: into this midterms. Are there still folks? Probably less so 485 00:26:38,417 --> 00:26:42,177 Speaker 1: in Florida because things have been better there in terms 486 00:26:42,217 --> 00:26:45,817 Speaker 1: of the schools being open. But do you get the 487 00:26:45,857 --> 00:26:51,137 Speaker 1: sense that parents will perhaps surprise people in Virginia. We 488 00:26:51,177 --> 00:26:53,897 Speaker 1: saw this, let's say, with the Young Can election, because 489 00:26:54,377 --> 00:26:56,577 Speaker 1: they're angry about what was done to their kids during 490 00:26:56,617 --> 00:26:58,617 Speaker 1: the pandemic and they want the chance to vote on 491 00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:00,177 Speaker 1: this issue. Do you think that's going to happen or 492 00:27:00,217 --> 00:27:03,977 Speaker 1: is that wishful thinking? No? Absolutely, I speak to so 493 00:27:04,017 --> 00:27:07,537 Speaker 1: many parents around the country that are still fuming about it. 494 00:27:07,657 --> 00:27:09,977 Speaker 1: Their kids lost at least a year of school in 495 00:27:10,217 --> 00:27:13,497 Speaker 1: some places, it's really crazy that they, you know, people 496 00:27:13,537 --> 00:27:15,497 Speaker 1: think that they just move on, that we just forget 497 00:27:15,617 --> 00:27:18,657 Speaker 1: what happened. I personally can't forget, and my kids are 498 00:27:18,657 --> 00:27:21,897 Speaker 1: in a much better place now. But it's the whole package. 499 00:27:21,937 --> 00:27:25,337 Speaker 1: It's not just that schools closed, it's that we were 500 00:27:25,537 --> 00:27:28,017 Speaker 1: gas lit every step of the way into believing that 501 00:27:28,057 --> 00:27:31,097 Speaker 1: schools were somehow more unsafe than bars or you know, 502 00:27:31,257 --> 00:27:35,217 Speaker 1: any number of things. So many dumb precautions were taken, 503 00:27:35,257 --> 00:27:37,017 Speaker 1: and the story broke today that a lot of the 504 00:27:37,057 --> 00:27:40,657 Speaker 1: COVID funds were used for programs like CRT. I mean, 505 00:27:40,737 --> 00:27:43,577 Speaker 1: that is really what you know. The problem is here 506 00:27:43,737 --> 00:27:47,017 Speaker 1: is that all of these things are leftists are using 507 00:27:47,377 --> 00:27:49,977 Speaker 1: to push their agenda in our schools, and people like 508 00:27:50,057 --> 00:27:52,737 Speaker 1: Governor de Santists are saying, no, we won't stand for it. 509 00:27:52,857 --> 00:27:55,377 Speaker 1: We just need more people like him around the country 510 00:27:55,417 --> 00:27:58,697 Speaker 1: to speak up. Daryl, always good to see you, Thanks 511 00:27:58,697 --> 00:28:03,337 Speaker 1: for being with us. Thank you, Buck, thank you. Joe 512 00:28:03,377 --> 00:28:06,617 Speaker 1: Biden announced today he'd be asking Congress for indgial thirty 513 00:28:06,697 --> 00:28:09,617 Speaker 1: three billion dollars in Adukraine. That's on top of the 514 00:28:09,657 --> 00:28:12,857 Speaker 1: billions we've already spent or sent them in arms since 515 00:28:12,897 --> 00:28:16,657 Speaker 1: February So is all of this actually making a difference 516 00:28:16,697 --> 00:28:18,417 Speaker 1: on the ground, and what's the long term planned here? 517 00:28:18,537 --> 00:28:20,777 Speaker 1: Our friend Bill Roggio stops by to answer that. Stay 518 00:28:20,777 --> 00:28:28,057 Speaker 1: with us. This morning, President Biden requested even more money 519 00:28:28,057 --> 00:28:32,377 Speaker 1: from Congress to aid the Ukrainians fending off Russia's invasion. 520 00:28:32,497 --> 00:28:36,897 Speaker 1: Biden requested an additional thirty three billion dollars, which he 521 00:28:36,937 --> 00:28:41,097 Speaker 1: says will help to ensure military aid, hospitality, and food 522 00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:45,097 Speaker 1: supply to Ukraine in their time of need. So how 523 00:28:45,177 --> 00:28:47,217 Speaker 1: much money are we going to give Ukraine before Putin 524 00:28:47,257 --> 00:28:50,297 Speaker 1: considers us to be actually joining them in some more 525 00:28:50,377 --> 00:28:53,257 Speaker 1: meaningful way in this fight? According to Joe Biden, we're 526 00:28:53,457 --> 00:28:56,137 Speaker 1: never going to stop actually watched, as long as the 527 00:28:56,177 --> 00:28:59,457 Speaker 1: assaults and the trustees continue, We're going to continue to 528 00:28:59,497 --> 00:29:02,617 Speaker 1: suppind military systems. It's critical this funding gets improved and 529 00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:06,497 Speaker 1: improved as quickly as possible. So we're pumping billions of 530 00:29:06,537 --> 00:29:09,697 Speaker 1: dollars into this conflict. Is it even making a difference 531 00:29:09,737 --> 00:29:11,857 Speaker 1: the way that we had hoped? Joined me now to discuss, 532 00:29:11,857 --> 00:29:15,617 Speaker 1: Senior felt the foundation for defensive Democracies, Bill Roggio, Bill, 533 00:29:15,617 --> 00:29:19,217 Speaker 1: good to see it. Thanks about always a pleasure. So 534 00:29:19,297 --> 00:29:22,977 Speaker 1: the Associated Press reports the Assistants package, which is now 535 00:29:22,977 --> 00:29:25,657 Speaker 1: heading to Congress for consideration, would be more than twice 536 00:29:25,657 --> 00:29:28,697 Speaker 1: as large as the initial thirteen point six billion dollars 537 00:29:28,737 --> 00:29:31,777 Speaker 1: a defense and economic aid for Ukraine and lesser allies 538 00:29:31,817 --> 00:29:36,937 Speaker 1: that Congress enacted last month is now almost already exhausted. 539 00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:39,937 Speaker 1: Thirty three billion dollars a lot of money, just the 540 00:29:40,057 --> 00:29:43,017 Speaker 1: right move. What's it going to get us? It is 541 00:29:43,057 --> 00:29:45,097 Speaker 1: a lot of money. We had to keep in mind. 542 00:29:45,097 --> 00:29:48,697 Speaker 1: We probably spent about, oh, I don't know, twenty thirty 543 00:29:48,697 --> 00:29:51,417 Speaker 1: billion dollars a year on Afghan security courses and in 544 00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:54,737 Speaker 1: the end we saw what that got us. People were 545 00:29:54,857 --> 00:29:58,417 Speaker 1: very quick to leave Afghanistan, to abandon Afghanistan because of 546 00:29:58,457 --> 00:30:02,537 Speaker 1: the costs that war drug out for twenty years, and 547 00:30:02,977 --> 00:30:05,497 Speaker 1: we were now, we're very quick to get into a 548 00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:09,537 Speaker 1: war that looks to be looks to be an extended conflict, 549 00:30:09,537 --> 00:30:12,137 Speaker 1: and this is war that's going to require if the 550 00:30:12,417 --> 00:30:16,017 Speaker 1: Ukrainians are going to fend off the Russians, and I'm 551 00:30:16,057 --> 00:30:18,497 Speaker 1: not sure they're able to do that with the weapons 552 00:30:18,497 --> 00:30:21,057 Speaker 1: and the money that they're getting, this is going to 553 00:30:21,137 --> 00:30:23,177 Speaker 1: be This could take months, this could take years the 554 00:30:23,217 --> 00:30:26,617 Speaker 1: way things are developing. And we also run the risk 555 00:30:26,697 --> 00:30:30,777 Speaker 1: the longer this conflicts extended, the more weapons and more 556 00:30:30,817 --> 00:30:35,777 Speaker 1: advanced weaponry we supply to the Ukrainians, the more the 557 00:30:35,937 --> 00:30:39,177 Speaker 1: Russians can view US as an active in this war. 558 00:30:39,657 --> 00:30:43,617 Speaker 1: And you know, I worry about the risk of coming 559 00:30:43,657 --> 00:30:46,337 Speaker 1: into direct conflict with Russia. Not because Russia can beat 560 00:30:46,417 --> 00:30:48,897 Speaker 1: us on the battlefield. I'm certain after what we witness 561 00:30:48,977 --> 00:30:51,977 Speaker 1: in the Ukraine that they can. It's that Russia is 562 00:30:51,977 --> 00:30:54,817 Speaker 1: a nuclear armed state with ten times more nuclear weapons 563 00:30:54,817 --> 00:30:58,017 Speaker 1: than US, and when two superpowers go head to head, 564 00:30:58,537 --> 00:31:01,457 Speaker 1: all bets are off, and those are the risks are 565 00:31:01,577 --> 00:31:05,137 Speaker 1: This is what I fear is not really being discussed 566 00:31:05,177 --> 00:31:09,857 Speaker 1: in Washington today. Now, explain how you think that will 567 00:31:10,257 --> 00:31:13,377 Speaker 1: that could play out. I mean, at some point, and 568 00:31:13,457 --> 00:31:16,577 Speaker 1: Putin has been saying very bellicost things. He's straight up 569 00:31:16,617 --> 00:31:19,057 Speaker 1: said right that he will he will use nukes if 570 00:31:19,057 --> 00:31:21,737 Speaker 1: somebody thinks they're going to get into Ukraine, meaning obviously 571 00:31:21,817 --> 00:31:26,137 Speaker 1: user NATO, US and NATO get into Ukraine, He'll he'll 572 00:31:26,177 --> 00:31:29,897 Speaker 1: go to the absolute matt on this. But short of 573 00:31:29,937 --> 00:31:32,257 Speaker 1: a full scale military intervention, do you think there is 574 00:31:32,297 --> 00:31:36,857 Speaker 1: a point at which Putin's calculation dramatically changes? I mean, 575 00:31:37,137 --> 00:31:40,777 Speaker 1: you know, is it training, Is it just provision of 576 00:31:40,817 --> 00:31:44,217 Speaker 1: even bigger, more advanced military systems to the Ukrainians. How 577 00:31:44,217 --> 00:31:48,097 Speaker 1: do you think that is assessed. Yeah, it's very difficult 578 00:31:48,137 --> 00:31:51,697 Speaker 1: to understand what Russia, what Putin's red lines are when 579 00:31:51,697 --> 00:31:54,697 Speaker 1: it comes to this military aid. So here's a scenario 580 00:31:54,817 --> 00:31:58,457 Speaker 1: to think of what happens if Putin decides to strike 581 00:31:59,377 --> 00:32:04,417 Speaker 1: assembly points for weapons being transitioned into Ukraine better inside 582 00:32:04,417 --> 00:32:06,657 Speaker 1: of Poland. Then you have an attack on a NATO 583 00:32:06,737 --> 00:32:10,697 Speaker 1: member and we have a there's a possible escalation. These 584 00:32:10,737 --> 00:32:13,017 Speaker 1: are the things that can happen. This is what I 585 00:32:13,097 --> 00:32:19,697 Speaker 1: really worry about, not understanding, not knowing what provens rent minds. 586 00:32:19,737 --> 00:32:23,017 Speaker 1: That's very dangerous and I don't hear and I'm not 587 00:32:23,137 --> 00:32:27,537 Speaker 1: aware of any conversations happening inside of Washington, inside of 588 00:32:27,617 --> 00:32:31,417 Speaker 1: policy makers circles. Everyone is keen to defeat the Russians. 589 00:32:31,497 --> 00:32:33,857 Speaker 1: I would love for the Russians to lose, but there 590 00:32:33,857 --> 00:32:37,577 Speaker 1: could be unintended consequences to that, and we should at 591 00:32:37,617 --> 00:32:40,537 Speaker 1: least be discussing them and gaining them out so as 592 00:32:40,617 --> 00:32:43,737 Speaker 1: not to get into an armed conflict with Russia over Ukraine. 593 00:32:44,897 --> 00:32:49,377 Speaker 1: So is this making a difference in the way that 594 00:32:49,417 --> 00:32:52,697 Speaker 1: we had we had hope, meaning the aid, the provision 595 00:32:52,937 --> 00:32:56,777 Speaker 1: of weapons and assistance to Ukraine, because in the early 596 00:32:56,817 --> 00:32:59,097 Speaker 1: days it felt like there was a lot of talk 597 00:32:59,137 --> 00:33:01,737 Speaker 1: of how the Russians had been bloodied so badly that 598 00:33:01,777 --> 00:33:04,257 Speaker 1: maybe this thing would come to a negotiated selement quickly. 599 00:33:04,737 --> 00:33:06,657 Speaker 1: Now it looks like this is and by the way, 600 00:33:06,777 --> 00:33:09,217 Speaker 1: I expected this, and I believe you did too, that 601 00:33:09,257 --> 00:33:11,057 Speaker 1: this is going to drag out into a much longer 602 00:33:11,057 --> 00:33:14,977 Speaker 1: conflict that the Russian military machine it's it's not nimble, 603 00:33:15,057 --> 00:33:19,377 Speaker 1: but it's vast and it is it does have a 604 00:33:19,457 --> 00:33:21,857 Speaker 1: lot of capability over a long period of time to 605 00:33:21,977 --> 00:33:26,537 Speaker 1: grind down an enemy. So I mean, is this is 606 00:33:26,577 --> 00:33:29,657 Speaker 1: this really the US goal now? To continue to arm 607 00:33:29,777 --> 00:33:32,417 Speaker 1: what will effectively be a long standing war in Europe, 608 00:33:32,457 --> 00:33:34,137 Speaker 1: to arm the Ukrainian side of it. I mean, how many, 609 00:33:34,177 --> 00:33:36,057 Speaker 1: how many months? How many years you think we go 610 00:33:36,217 --> 00:33:39,977 Speaker 1: on with this? Yeah, that's the real question. How long 611 00:33:40,017 --> 00:33:42,897 Speaker 1: can we afford to go long along with this while 612 00:33:42,977 --> 00:33:46,137 Speaker 1: the you know, the world is essentially on the precipice 613 00:33:46,257 --> 00:33:50,777 Speaker 1: of a recession. We have rising prices all across the board. 614 00:33:51,817 --> 00:33:54,697 Speaker 1: How long can a conflict like this extent? I think 615 00:33:54,737 --> 00:33:58,017 Speaker 1: the answer is the weapons to your first question, the 616 00:33:58,057 --> 00:34:03,057 Speaker 1: weapons the Ukraine have both have helped to drive back 617 00:34:03,097 --> 00:34:07,057 Speaker 1: the Russians from Kim Right Russians. I think a lot 618 00:34:07,097 --> 00:34:09,297 Speaker 1: of the mistakes that were made by the Russians in 619 00:34:09,337 --> 00:34:12,057 Speaker 1: and around Kiv are of the Russians making, and not 620 00:34:12,177 --> 00:34:15,897 Speaker 1: necessarily of the weapons systems we sent. The weapon systems 621 00:34:15,897 --> 00:34:18,857 Speaker 1: we're sending now it's not having the effect that we 622 00:34:19,297 --> 00:34:22,137 Speaker 1: are hoping, which would be to blunt or halt a 623 00:34:22,217 --> 00:34:25,897 Speaker 1: Russian advance. The Russians, as you had just said, they're grinding, slowly, 624 00:34:26,257 --> 00:34:31,097 Speaker 1: taking over village after village, maybe advancing a mile two 625 00:34:31,257 --> 00:34:34,137 Speaker 1: three a day along that eastern and southern front. It's 626 00:34:34,177 --> 00:34:36,937 Speaker 1: a grind. This is something the Russians are geared to do. 627 00:34:36,977 --> 00:34:39,097 Speaker 1: This is what I expected them to do around Kiev, 628 00:34:39,417 --> 00:34:42,657 Speaker 1: and they just stopped. So I was a little surprised 629 00:34:42,697 --> 00:34:44,897 Speaker 1: by that. But what's happening in the east is exactly 630 00:34:44,937 --> 00:34:48,097 Speaker 1: what both you and I have expected to happen. And 631 00:34:48,177 --> 00:34:51,937 Speaker 1: I'm not sure the weapons systems that we're providing is 632 00:34:52,217 --> 00:34:54,937 Speaker 1: enough to stop that. They're going to need far more 633 00:34:55,257 --> 00:34:58,457 Speaker 1: advanced weaponry, which they're going to need training on and 634 00:34:58,777 --> 00:35:00,817 Speaker 1: a lot more of it. Than what we're seeing. The 635 00:35:00,857 --> 00:35:04,457 Speaker 1: Russians have the advantage in logistics, they have the advantage 636 00:35:04,457 --> 00:35:07,777 Speaker 1: of artillery, and there looks like they're getting the advantage 637 00:35:07,777 --> 00:35:10,777 Speaker 1: in the numbers. The logistical problems you need graining that's 638 00:35:10,777 --> 00:35:12,737 Speaker 1: a big that's a big issue. The length of their 639 00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:15,857 Speaker 1: supply lines from the east from sorry, from the west 640 00:35:15,897 --> 00:35:18,697 Speaker 1: to the east, that's a very difficult to overcome. So 641 00:35:19,137 --> 00:35:22,977 Speaker 1: you know, are we by providing these weapons and not 642 00:35:23,057 --> 00:35:25,937 Speaker 1: looking to help for some type of political settlement? Here 643 00:35:26,257 --> 00:35:29,057 Speaker 1: are we extending in this war? Were leading to the 644 00:35:29,377 --> 00:35:33,777 Speaker 1: eventual the further destruction of the Ukrainian economy and its infrastructure. 645 00:35:34,257 --> 00:35:37,137 Speaker 1: I don't have the answers to these things, but I again, 646 00:35:37,177 --> 00:35:40,537 Speaker 1: nobody seems to even be asking these quess Do we know? 647 00:35:40,737 --> 00:35:42,817 Speaker 1: I mean, has has Putin to the degree that let's 648 00:35:42,857 --> 00:35:45,417 Speaker 1: just say this could be known and we could take 649 00:35:45,497 --> 00:35:49,937 Speaker 1: him at his word? Do we know what Putin's ask is? 650 00:35:49,977 --> 00:35:52,497 Speaker 1: If you will to stop this war? Like, what would 651 00:35:52,537 --> 00:35:55,857 Speaker 1: it take for? Because I saw that, you know, the 652 00:35:55,937 --> 00:36:00,257 Speaker 1: territorial concessions even for don Boss and Lohansk and the 653 00:36:00,577 --> 00:36:04,137 Speaker 1: area in the east of Ukraine. Zelenski said, well, that's 654 00:36:04,137 --> 00:36:06,937 Speaker 1: off the table, Okay, well, but do we know what 655 00:36:07,217 --> 00:36:10,777 Speaker 1: Putin would want in order to stop the war. Yeah, 656 00:36:10,817 --> 00:36:14,177 Speaker 1: I think both sides are light years apart. It's what 657 00:36:14,257 --> 00:36:19,177 Speaker 1: would stop them. Putin certainly wants all of Leukonskin Dennis 658 00:36:20,697 --> 00:36:25,577 Speaker 1: blah blahs, that's certainly for sure. And I believe he 659 00:36:25,577 --> 00:36:27,617 Speaker 1: also wants to Hocupy. This has been stated by a 660 00:36:27,657 --> 00:36:30,337 Speaker 1: Russian commander and this was very obvious from their operations. 661 00:36:30,577 --> 00:36:33,257 Speaker 1: I believe that the Russians want full control of the 662 00:36:33,297 --> 00:36:37,017 Speaker 1: Black Sea, including Odessa. And on the other side, Zelenski, 663 00:36:37,057 --> 00:36:39,457 Speaker 1: which was willing to conceive these again in the darkest 664 00:36:39,497 --> 00:36:42,337 Speaker 1: days at the beginning of this war, Zelenski was willing 665 00:36:42,377 --> 00:36:46,697 Speaker 1: to concede, basically concede the don bust. They're not willing 666 00:36:46,777 --> 00:36:50,017 Speaker 1: to do that anymore so when both sides, there's zero 667 00:36:50,217 --> 00:36:54,017 Speaker 1: room for negotiations here. And I think the pouring in 668 00:36:54,097 --> 00:36:57,177 Speaker 1: of Western weapons has buoyed up the Ukrainians, and that's great. 669 00:36:57,457 --> 00:37:00,617 Speaker 1: The Ukrainians have a right to defend their country, a 670 00:37:00,817 --> 00:37:03,417 Speaker 1: right to fight as long as they want. But I 671 00:37:03,457 --> 00:37:07,337 Speaker 1: think what this is doing is is making the gap 672 00:37:07,537 --> 00:37:11,137 Speaker 1: between a political settlement between the two sides further and further. 673 00:37:11,297 --> 00:37:14,377 Speaker 1: It's just extending the fight. At some point the two 674 00:37:14,377 --> 00:37:16,537 Speaker 1: sides are going to have to sit down and hash 675 00:37:16,577 --> 00:37:18,977 Speaker 1: out what is that. What is the end of this war? 676 00:37:19,297 --> 00:37:22,417 Speaker 1: And I don't see that end in sight. Bill. Appreciate 677 00:37:22,417 --> 00:37:25,777 Speaker 1: your perspective as always, Thanks for being with us. Thanks Buck, 678 00:37:25,777 --> 00:37:29,897 Speaker 1: always a pleasure. Great to see you all right. Joe 679 00:37:29,937 --> 00:37:34,337 Speaker 1: Biden once again short circuits during his recent address on Ukraine. 680 00:37:34,537 --> 00:37:37,777 Speaker 1: Like we say, it's not something that's enjoyable to watch, 681 00:37:37,817 --> 00:37:39,897 Speaker 1: but you need to see it and understand what's going on. 682 00:37:40,257 --> 00:37:41,697 Speaker 1: We'll have that and some other things for you in 683 00:37:41,777 --> 00:37:51,657 Speaker 1: quickit stay with us. The President has a senior moment 684 00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:55,817 Speaker 1: today for sure, and DHS Secretary More New York announces 685 00:37:55,897 --> 00:37:59,257 Speaker 1: the US is getting its own Ministry of Truth. To 686 00:37:59,297 --> 00:38:01,337 Speaker 1: Barro from More Worlds nineteen eighty four, we have those 687 00:38:01,377 --> 00:38:06,097 Speaker 1: stories in quicks. Let's get into it. Look, I don't 688 00:38:06,577 --> 00:38:09,937 Speaker 1: like to have to point out a person cognitive to 689 00:38:10,137 --> 00:38:13,937 Speaker 1: blind due to aid. I've seen this in my own 690 00:38:13,977 --> 00:38:16,937 Speaker 1: life and members of my own family. It's a sad thing, 691 00:38:17,497 --> 00:38:20,457 Speaker 1: and it's something that it's just the nature of getting older. 692 00:38:20,617 --> 00:38:22,577 Speaker 1: You reach a certain age, this is going to happen. 693 00:38:23,297 --> 00:38:26,657 Speaker 1: But this guy is not running the local hardware store. 694 00:38:26,737 --> 00:38:30,257 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is the President of the United States. He 695 00:38:30,297 --> 00:38:33,937 Speaker 1: has the nuclear codes, he has tremendous power. He can 696 00:38:34,017 --> 00:38:38,537 Speaker 1: sign or not sign legislation that has enormous effect on 697 00:38:38,577 --> 00:38:41,577 Speaker 1: the lives of the American people. You can declare war. 698 00:38:42,297 --> 00:38:45,857 Speaker 1: We're in the midst of the world, facing off against 699 00:38:45,937 --> 00:38:48,817 Speaker 1: a very aggressive Russia and the biggest war in Europe 700 00:38:48,817 --> 00:38:51,977 Speaker 1: since World War Two, and Joe Biden's the commander in chief. 701 00:38:52,017 --> 00:38:54,457 Speaker 1: I bring this all to you because here he is 702 00:38:54,457 --> 00:39:00,217 Speaker 1: while talking about Russia's kleptocracy. Watch really close of that 703 00:39:00,257 --> 00:39:04,697 Speaker 1: will enhance our underlying effort to accommodate the Russian oligarchs 704 00:39:05,137 --> 00:39:09,657 Speaker 1: and make sure we take there. I will be gotten gage. 705 00:39:10,097 --> 00:39:13,697 Speaker 1: We're gonna accommodate them. We're gonna seize their yachts, their 706 00:39:13,777 --> 00:39:23,737 Speaker 1: luxury homes. Another they'll be gotten gags of Pruden's cleptocracy. Yeah, cleptocracy. 707 00:39:23,817 --> 00:39:31,617 Speaker 1: The guys who are the cleptocracy. But these are bad guys. Yeah. 708 00:39:32,417 --> 00:39:34,857 Speaker 1: As President United States, everybody Democrats thought this was a 709 00:39:34,897 --> 00:39:40,137 Speaker 1: really great move, really responsible move for all of us. Yeah. Sure. 710 00:39:41,137 --> 00:39:44,177 Speaker 1: D NHS Secretary mayorc Us has announced the formation of 711 00:39:44,217 --> 00:39:51,137 Speaker 1: this is real a government misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board Watch. 712 00:39:51,897 --> 00:39:56,737 Speaker 1: We have just established miss and Disinformation Governance SPORT in 713 00:39:56,777 --> 00:40:01,337 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this 714 00:40:01,497 --> 00:40:07,777 Speaker 1: threat not only to election security, but to our homeland security. 715 00:40:07,817 --> 00:40:10,257 Speaker 1: Disinformation as a threat to our homeland security. Now, I 716 00:40:10,337 --> 00:40:12,857 Speaker 1: know they're saying right now that it's really just in 717 00:40:12,897 --> 00:40:17,297 Speaker 1: the context of Russian disinformation. I think also on migration issues. 718 00:40:17,337 --> 00:40:19,457 Speaker 1: I think I saw something like that. But they're saying 719 00:40:19,457 --> 00:40:21,977 Speaker 1: it's a very limited disinformation they're concerned with this. Does 720 00:40:22,017 --> 00:40:24,657 Speaker 1: anyone think that it's going to stay there? This term 721 00:40:24,697 --> 00:40:28,417 Speaker 1: disinformation is just really a word that is weaponized to 722 00:40:28,617 --> 00:40:32,897 Speaker 1: silence those who do not agree with the consensus narrative. 723 00:40:33,457 --> 00:40:37,337 Speaker 1: That is what disinformation actually means. That is what it 724 00:40:37,417 --> 00:40:41,697 Speaker 1: is actually about. Okay, as a way as they use it, 725 00:40:42,177 --> 00:40:45,577 Speaker 1: And the Russians actually have the term disinformatzia, which is 726 00:40:45,577 --> 00:40:48,217 Speaker 1: their version of disinformation, obviously just with a little bit 727 00:40:48,217 --> 00:40:50,977 Speaker 1: of Russian flair. They use it all the time. And 728 00:40:51,217 --> 00:40:54,537 Speaker 1: guess what, America, if you look back at what happened 729 00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:58,177 Speaker 1: with our own government, with the deep state, with the media, 730 00:40:58,297 --> 00:41:00,097 Speaker 1: there's a lot of disinformation about oh, I don't know, 731 00:41:00,137 --> 00:41:03,537 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump colluding with Russia stuff like that. Remember 732 00:41:03,577 --> 00:41:05,777 Speaker 1: that that was a well, what would we call that, 733 00:41:06,177 --> 00:41:09,457 Speaker 1: a huge concertive campaign to mislead the American people into something, 734 00:41:09,537 --> 00:41:12,097 Speaker 1: to thinking something that has tremendous political consequence, that would 735 00:41:12,097 --> 00:41:15,977 Speaker 1: assist one part of the ideological spectrum in this country 736 00:41:16,097 --> 00:41:18,977 Speaker 1: at the expense of the other. That's disinformation, isn't it. 737 00:41:19,257 --> 00:41:22,337 Speaker 1: Oh so maybe they're doing a disinformation bureau or whatever 738 00:41:22,337 --> 00:41:25,897 Speaker 1: they're calling it, so that they can show us all 739 00:41:25,937 --> 00:41:29,497 Speaker 1: their expertise in doing disinformation. I don't know, maybe that's 740 00:41:29,537 --> 00:41:33,977 Speaker 1: what's going on. Biden. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says he 741 00:41:34,137 --> 00:41:37,537 Speaker 1: is concerned about all the divisiveness and the culture wars 742 00:41:37,577 --> 00:41:40,097 Speaker 1: out there. Watched this one, and we are concerned with 743 00:41:40,137 --> 00:41:43,577 Speaker 1: some of the policies that are less curriculum, more about division, 744 00:41:43,737 --> 00:41:46,737 Speaker 1: more about bringing politics into the schools. They said at 745 00:41:46,777 --> 00:41:49,617 Speaker 1: the onset, our schools should not be the place for 746 00:41:50,737 --> 00:41:54,017 Speaker 1: culture wars. Our parents want our children to recover from 747 00:41:54,017 --> 00:41:57,097 Speaker 1: what was missed during the pandemic for the misconstruction. They 748 00:41:57,097 --> 00:42:01,737 Speaker 1: want the mental health needs of their students cared for. Yeah, 749 00:42:01,777 --> 00:42:04,097 Speaker 1: the division and culture wars and the schools is the 750 00:42:04,137 --> 00:42:09,617 Speaker 1: result of the Left turning these places into ideological and 751 00:42:09,657 --> 00:42:13,017 Speaker 1: doctrine nation factories, public schools, very young kids too. And 752 00:42:13,057 --> 00:42:16,137 Speaker 1: then the right because of what happened with zoom instruction 753 00:42:16,177 --> 00:42:20,057 Speaker 1: at home, when the lunatic faucia, it's shut down schools 754 00:42:20,137 --> 00:42:25,017 Speaker 1: for well a year basically. Then we actually had parents 755 00:42:25,017 --> 00:42:26,737 Speaker 1: who saw what was being taught with their kids and 756 00:42:26,777 --> 00:42:30,937 Speaker 1: they were upset about that, rightly so and so now, yeah, 757 00:42:30,937 --> 00:42:33,017 Speaker 1: there's there's a culture war, but it was a one 758 00:42:33,057 --> 00:42:35,217 Speaker 1: way war before. Now it's going both ways in the 759 00:42:35,337 --> 00:42:38,217 Speaker 1: schools as it should, as it should, people should know 760 00:42:38,217 --> 00:42:41,377 Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know if the Libs are 761 00:42:41,377 --> 00:42:42,657 Speaker 1: ever going to let this go. I think they're going 762 00:42:42,737 --> 00:42:46,297 Speaker 1: to spend four years, some of them masking ostentatiously, so 763 00:42:46,337 --> 00:42:49,857 Speaker 1: not to really defend themselves from a virus, but because 764 00:42:50,417 --> 00:42:53,897 Speaker 1: the mask is a political symbol. And this is another 765 00:42:53,937 --> 00:42:56,377 Speaker 1: example of how insane they are. Biden will not eat 766 00:42:56,377 --> 00:42:58,817 Speaker 1: dinner with the White House Correspondence event because of COVID. Okay, 767 00:42:58,857 --> 00:43:01,457 Speaker 1: here's the headline. Biden to skip the eating portion of 768 00:43:01,457 --> 00:43:05,657 Speaker 1: the code or a correspondence dinner to limit his COVID risk. 769 00:43:07,257 --> 00:43:09,497 Speaker 1: But he's around people all the time elsewhere. I mean, 770 00:43:10,257 --> 00:43:13,457 Speaker 1: they're so full of it, aren't. It's ridiculous. That's everything 771 00:43:13,497 --> 00:43:15,537 Speaker 1: that's hold the line.
