Speaker 1: Apple might pull all advertising from Twitter. What is going

Speaker 1: on here with the platform wars online we'll discuss. Plus,

9
00:00:46,297 --> 00:00:51,217
Speaker 1: China has a major uprising on its hands, at least

10
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:56,497
Speaker 1: by Chinese Communist Party standards against the insane COVID lockdowns?

11
00:00:56,497 --> 00:00:59,017
Speaker 1: Where does Fauci? Where does the Biden administration stand on

12
00:00:59,057 --> 00:01:03,657
Speaker 1: all of that? And a US player does an excellent

13
00:01:03,737 --> 00:01:06,857
Speaker 1: job handling a hostile question from a member of the

14
00:01:06,897 --> 00:01:13,097
Speaker 1: Iranian press propaganda about the US men's national soccer team

15
00:01:13,097 --> 00:01:14,777
Speaker 1: in the World Cup. We'll get into all of that

Speaker 1: here coming up in just a second. But have you

17
00:01:16,657 --> 00:01:18,497

Speaker 1: didn't have the time or expertise to do it on

19
00:01:20,217 --> 00:01:22,577
Speaker 1: your own? I felt exactly the same way as you

20
00:01:22,657 --> 00:01:24,497
Speaker 1: until about a year ago when I met my friends

21
00:01:24,497 --> 00:01:26,577
Speaker 1: at Done for your real estate. They found me an

38
00:02:11,137 --> 00:02:14,737
Speaker 1: let's I gotta start with this. The situation over at

39
00:02:15,097 --> 00:02:19,017
Speaker 1: a Twitter is fascinating because you have a free speech

40
00:02:19,057 --> 00:02:25,217
Speaker 1: platform that is going right now that had been essentially

41
00:02:25,217 --> 00:02:29,097
Speaker 1: a left wing province for over a decade. Right they

42
00:02:29,137 --> 00:02:32,097
Speaker 1: were able to control it, They were able to perhaps

43
00:02:32,097 --> 00:02:34,777
Speaker 1: throw elections with it the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop.

44
00:02:34,777 --> 00:02:38,417
Speaker 1: I mean, the stuff that was going on was egregious, egregious,

45
00:02:38,457 --> 00:02:42,417
Speaker 1: what was happening. And here, for example, is how he

46
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:45,817
Speaker 1: kurts over Fox News, pointing out that journalists who are

47
00:02:45,817 --> 00:02:47,857
Speaker 1: supposed to be about free speech and the free exchange

48
00:02:47,897 --> 00:02:52,297
Speaker 1: of ideas, the lib journals hate the new Twitter because

49
00:02:52,337 --> 00:02:56,977
Speaker 1: they want the suppression of conservative ideas. Play twelve. When

50
00:02:56,977 --> 00:03:00,057
Speaker 1: you see this newspaper headline opening the gates of Hell,

51
00:03:00,537 --> 00:03:02,377
Speaker 1: that might be a subtle clue that you're not getting

52
00:03:02,377 --> 00:03:05,457
Speaker 1: an unbiased report. But that's how the latest decision by

53
00:03:05,497 --> 00:03:08,977
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is described in a Washington Post news story,

54
00:03:09,377 --> 00:03:12,577
Speaker 1: with that from a Harvard instructor who also says Apple

55
00:03:12,617 --> 00:03:15,297
Speaker 1: and Google should consider booting Twitter off the app store.

56
00:03:15,537 --> 00:03:18,377
Speaker 1: Pluck for the headline, Elon must made clear from the

57
00:03:18,417 --> 00:03:21,577
Speaker 1: start he's a free speech advocate who would end permanent

58
00:03:21,577 --> 00:03:25,297
Speaker 1: bands in most cases, and most journalists preferred the old rules,

59
00:03:25,617 --> 00:03:29,977
Speaker 1: which usually penalize conservatives. Now, Musk is fair grain for criticism,

60
00:03:30,257 --> 00:03:33,057
Speaker 1: but how about a token effort to include a couple

61
00:03:33,057 --> 00:03:36,777
Speaker 1: of voices who don't think he's taking us all to hell?

62
00:03:38,097 --> 00:03:41,537
Speaker 1: You know, he's making it a better platform, which so

63
00:03:41,657 --> 00:03:46,337
Speaker 1: many people already see. Notice that he's apparently fired something

64
00:03:46,337 --> 00:03:52,297
Speaker 1: like seventy five percent of Twitter employees, and it's running fine,

65
00:03:52,777 --> 00:03:55,297
Speaker 1: and it seems to be getting better all the time.

66
00:03:55,337 --> 00:03:58,777
Speaker 1: It seems like there are constantly upgrades being made, and

67
00:03:58,857 --> 00:04:02,737
Speaker 1: there's a lot that's being done that is making it

68
00:04:02,777 --> 00:04:06,257
Speaker 1: a place where you can actually get a fair shake. Now,

69
00:04:06,457 --> 00:04:08,537
Speaker 1: this is a good thing. The journals are terrified about

70
00:04:08,537 --> 00:04:11,897
Speaker 1: this because they've gotten used to inform nation dominance over

71
00:04:11,937 --> 00:04:14,497
Speaker 1: a long period of time. They've gotten used to getting

72
00:04:14,537 --> 00:04:17,337
Speaker 1: exactly what they want from companies like Twitter and YouTube

73
00:04:17,337 --> 00:04:21,017
Speaker 1: and Facebook and you name it. Obviously, Alphabet owns Google,

74
00:04:21,057 --> 00:04:23,177
Speaker 1: Google owns YouTube. But it's the same basic idea. You

75
00:04:23,337 --> 00:04:28,217
Speaker 1: understand what's going on here. And the fact that now

76
00:04:28,577 --> 00:04:32,377
Speaker 1: Tim Cook is one Elon called them out on a

77
00:04:32,377 --> 00:04:35,817
Speaker 1: tweet earlier today pulling ads from Twitter. So now Apple

78
00:04:35,857 --> 00:04:39,897
Speaker 1: won't advertise on Twitter. Why Because Twitter is a place

79
00:04:39,977 --> 00:04:43,097
Speaker 1: where you can actually share ideas that are, oh, I

80
00:04:43,097 --> 00:04:46,337
Speaker 1: don't know, in line with the science, the actual science

81
00:04:46,377 --> 00:04:50,137
Speaker 1: on COVID when it comes to masks, vaccines. You can

82
00:04:50,177 --> 00:04:53,097
Speaker 1: express your doubts about an election or an electoral process

83
00:04:53,137 --> 00:04:56,137
Speaker 1: in some capacity, Yeah, that's right. These are things that

84
00:04:56,337 --> 00:04:59,177
Speaker 1: in a healthy and free society people can do. Now

85
00:04:59,217 --> 00:05:02,457
Speaker 1: they can be they can be shouted at by other people,

86
00:05:02,577 --> 00:05:04,337
Speaker 1: and you know there's going to be vigorous debate, and

87
00:05:04,377 --> 00:05:07,457
Speaker 1: that's all fine. But why should we accept that there's

88
00:05:07,497 --> 00:05:11,977
Speaker 1: only one group, one part of our society, one part

89
00:05:12,017 --> 00:05:14,537
Speaker 1: of the political spectrum, that is going to be in

90
00:05:14,577 --> 00:05:17,457
Speaker 1: a position where they're able to do this makes no

91
00:05:17,497 --> 00:05:21,897
Speaker 1: sense at all. It's crazy. It's crazy. And so finally

92
00:05:21,897 --> 00:05:24,057
Speaker 1: we're seeing a pushback against this. But the fact that

93
00:05:24,137 --> 00:05:27,297
Speaker 1: Apple is pulling ads and then may even pull the

94
00:05:27,337 --> 00:05:32,057
Speaker 1: Twitter app from its app store. So now now they're

95
00:05:32,137 --> 00:05:34,137
Speaker 1: doing what they're trying to run the playbook of parlor.

96
00:05:34,177 --> 00:05:36,697
Speaker 1: Remember they did a parlor all over again. They pulled

97
00:05:36,697 --> 00:05:38,817
Speaker 1: it from the app stores, and then they eventually, when

98
00:05:38,817 --> 00:05:43,297
Speaker 1: that wasn't enough, they shut down it's aws. Amazon shutdown parlors.

99
00:05:43,337 --> 00:05:48,097
Speaker 1: Servers just kick them off the internet effectively. Sorry, oh

100
00:05:48,137 --> 00:05:50,337
Speaker 1: you thought that we were just a company providing a service. No,

101
00:05:50,577 --> 00:05:53,777
Speaker 1: we're woke too. They're looking to try to do that. Now.

102
00:05:53,777 --> 00:05:55,817
Speaker 1: It's going to be more difficult with Twitter because Elon

103
00:05:56,417 --> 00:06:00,137
Speaker 1: is a billionaire many many many times over, has tremendous

104
00:06:01,057 --> 00:06:04,977
Speaker 1: not only connections in Silicon Valley, but also an understanding

105
00:06:05,017 --> 00:06:08,017
Speaker 1: of these systems. So it's gonna be hard for them.

106
00:06:08,737 --> 00:06:12,537
Speaker 1: But Apple may be picking a big fight here and

107
00:06:12,577 --> 00:06:14,497
Speaker 1: it's one that we absolutely have to see when I

108
00:06:14,537 --> 00:06:17,897
Speaker 1: don't know if what ends up happening is people start

109
00:06:17,937 --> 00:06:20,617
Speaker 1: switching over to the Android phone, Will Google, which is

110
00:06:20,617 --> 00:06:23,857
Speaker 1: a left wing company as well, will at least allow

111
00:06:23,977 --> 00:06:28,537
Speaker 1: Twitter to exist on its platform if Apple won't, or

112
00:06:28,617 --> 00:06:34,577
Speaker 1: even will Elon Musk maybe consider being in the in

113
00:06:34,617 --> 00:06:38,617
Speaker 1: the game of making phones. Is that the next thing?

114
00:06:38,617 --> 00:06:40,177
Speaker 1: I know that seems crazy, but look, the guy makes

115
00:06:40,177 --> 00:06:43,417
Speaker 1: electric cars, he makes batteries, now he owns Twitter. There

116
00:06:43,417 --> 00:06:46,177
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that he very well could

117
00:06:46,217 --> 00:06:50,697
Speaker 1: do here and we shall just have to see how

118
00:06:50,737 --> 00:06:53,057
Speaker 1: this plays out. But it's very important, I mean, for

119
00:06:53,257 --> 00:06:55,257
Speaker 1: free speech, for the future of this country. It is

120
00:06:55,257 --> 00:07:02,097
Speaker 1: absolutely critical that this mission continue. Of having at least

121
00:07:02,137 --> 00:07:07,097
Speaker 1: one platform, just one platform online of the social media

122
00:07:07,217 --> 00:07:12,297
Speaker 1: variety that allows for the free and open change of ideas,

123
00:07:13,177 --> 00:07:16,297
Speaker 1: it would be a game changer. I think people need

124
00:07:16,337 --> 00:07:20,297
Speaker 1: to recognize that it is absolutely essential. And Apple, it

125
00:07:20,417 --> 00:07:23,417
Speaker 1: just goes to show you there are people that run

126
00:07:23,457 --> 00:07:26,537
Speaker 1: these companies, even some of the most storied companies in

127
00:07:26,537 --> 00:07:28,697
Speaker 1: the world, A lot of them are either scared of

128
00:07:28,697 --> 00:07:31,937
Speaker 1: the wokeness or their work themselves, and until they feel

129
00:07:31,977 --> 00:07:36,217
Speaker 1: real economic consequences to their decision making against freedom and

130
00:07:36,297 --> 00:07:39,497
Speaker 1: free speech, they're going to continue to do it. Speaking

131
00:07:39,537 --> 00:07:42,097
Speaker 1: of the consequences for free speech, let's talk about China

132
00:07:42,217 --> 00:07:47,257
Speaker 1: and what's happening there with these protests. I mean, there's

133
00:07:47,257 --> 00:07:49,857
Speaker 1: something of an uprising against the COVID lockdowns. Where's the

134
00:07:49,897 --> 00:07:52,657
Speaker 1: Bide administration on all this. We'll get into that in

135
00:07:52,697 --> 00:07:56,497
Speaker 1: a second. Luxury items normally come with big price tags attached,

159
00:08:55,617 --> 00:08:58,737
Speaker 1: right now. All right, so let's talk about China here

160
00:08:58,817 --> 00:09:02,857
Speaker 1: for a second, and what is what is going on there? Fauci?

161
00:09:03,297 --> 00:09:06,297
Speaker 1: First of all, Fauci's on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.

162
00:09:07,697 --> 00:09:09,257
Speaker 1: How can you be apparent? How can you be an

163
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:12,937
Speaker 1: American at this point point and not find Fauci utterly contemptuous?

164
00:09:13,057 --> 00:09:15,617
Speaker 1: I really mean this, I really want to know. How

165
00:09:15,697 --> 00:09:20,257
Speaker 1: is it possible that somebody could listen to this, this

166
00:09:20,377 --> 00:09:25,857
Speaker 1: awful Fauci. You know we're talking maybe about doing more possible,

167
00:09:26,097 --> 00:09:30,177
Speaker 1: maybe locked down in the future of the schools, and

168
00:09:30,337 --> 00:09:35,217
Speaker 1: not just feel like something really gross has occurred. This

169
00:09:35,377 --> 00:09:38,137
Speaker 1: guy has admitted no wrongdoing, and he's still out there.

170
00:09:38,697 --> 00:09:40,497
Speaker 1: He hasn't even admitted that he was wrong, never mind

171
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:42,457
Speaker 1: wrong doing, won't even admit that what he said wasn't true.

172
00:09:42,977 --> 00:09:46,257
Speaker 1: Here's doctor Fauci telling Face the Nation hosts Margaret Brennan that,

173
00:09:46,817 --> 00:09:48,977
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I don't know, should schools close down?

174
00:09:49,137 --> 00:09:52,457
Speaker 1: Tough call? Play clip one. So coming out of the holidays,

175
00:09:52,777 --> 00:09:57,297
Speaker 1: should parents expect schools to shut down? I don't know, Margaret,

176
00:09:57,337 --> 00:10:00,417
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. When you talk about shutting down schools,

177
00:10:00,457 --> 00:10:07,537
Speaker 1: there's always just exactly, there's always the collateral issues. So

178
00:10:07,617 --> 00:10:09,657
Speaker 1: you have to balance and you do it in real

179
00:10:09,697 --> 00:10:13,857
Speaker 1: time depending upon the viral load of disease in your region.

180
00:10:14,297 --> 00:10:17,977
Speaker 1: So you have to have the local authorities evaluate on

181
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:23,857
Speaker 1: a situation by situation basis the potential collateral deleterious effects

182
00:10:24,137 --> 00:10:26,097
Speaker 1: with the effects of what might happen if you have

183
00:10:26,177 --> 00:10:30,217
Speaker 1: so many kids getting infected. This is just totally untrue

184
00:10:30,977 --> 00:10:34,817
Speaker 1: because it's not a tradeoff between the great things that

185
00:10:34,857 --> 00:10:40,177
Speaker 1: can happen as a result of lockdowns, the benefits versus

186
00:10:40,177 --> 00:10:44,257
Speaker 1: the draw it's all drawback. There's only drawback. But Fauci

187
00:10:44,337 --> 00:10:48,137
Speaker 1: hasn't accepted yet that lockdowns were not just a bad idea,

188
00:10:48,217 --> 00:10:52,177
Speaker 1: they were entirely wrong idea. There is no aspect of

189
00:10:52,217 --> 00:10:54,617
Speaker 1: them that made any sense. There's nothing about lockdowns that

190
00:10:54,657 --> 00:11:01,137
Speaker 1: were a good thing from a health perspective. And what's

191
00:11:01,177 --> 00:11:03,257
Speaker 1: interesting is that there is the largest country in the

192
00:11:03,257 --> 00:11:08,057
Speaker 1: world right now, China, where lockdowns are still ongoing, still

193
00:11:08,097 --> 00:11:11,737
Speaker 1: happening in China, it has not stopped. And here is

194
00:11:11,897 --> 00:11:15,977
Speaker 1: a CNN reporter on the Chinese COVID protests that have

195
00:11:16,097 --> 00:11:17,937
Speaker 1: broken out. Play five. I'm in the center of a

196
00:11:18,017 --> 00:11:21,017
Speaker 1: protest in Beijing right now. They're chanting that they don't

197
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:24,657
Speaker 1: want COVID tests, they want freedom. They've been chanting this

198
00:11:25,097 --> 00:11:27,777
Speaker 1: for hours. People have gathered here in the center of

199
00:11:27,817 --> 00:11:31,657
Speaker 1: Beijing to protest the COVID measures. We are in Tayang District.

200
00:11:31,657 --> 00:11:34,377
Speaker 1: This is the city center. This is also where the

201
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:37,217
Speaker 1: authorities have urged people to stay at home because the

202
00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:40,577
Speaker 1: COVID outbreak is severe here now. The area is also

203
00:11:41,057 --> 00:11:43,697
Speaker 1: important because this is where the American embassy is over there.

204
00:11:43,737 --> 00:11:46,377
Speaker 1: There are many foreign embassies over here, there is a

205
00:11:46,417 --> 00:11:49,897
Speaker 1: heavy police presence. I am surrounded by a police They're

206
00:11:49,977 --> 00:11:51,937
Speaker 1: telling me to shift in a little bit. And if

207
00:11:51,937 --> 00:11:54,217
Speaker 1: we just turn the camera around, you'll see there is

208
00:11:54,257 --> 00:11:57,817
Speaker 1: a row of police. There is mostly young people who

209
00:11:57,817 --> 00:12:00,937
Speaker 1: have gathered here, and many people are also holding white

210
00:12:00,937 --> 00:12:04,377
Speaker 1: papers in their hands, which is a sign of solidarity

211
00:12:04,537 --> 00:12:10,297
Speaker 1: against censorship, a sign of solidarity against censorship. To do

212
00:12:10,337 --> 00:12:14,097
Speaker 1: this in China requires real bravery, because the Chinese Communist

213
00:12:14,097 --> 00:12:19,337
Speaker 1: Party will make people disappear, imprison them, torture them, execute

214
00:12:19,377 --> 00:12:22,217
Speaker 1: them for being any kind of threat to the regime,

215
00:12:22,257 --> 00:12:26,137
Speaker 1: for speaking out against the kind of control that chijin

216
00:12:26,217 --> 00:12:30,617
Speaker 1: Ping absolutely demands. And so what we see here is

217
00:12:30,857 --> 00:12:35,337
Speaker 1: in China, the zero COVID policy continues on to the

218
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:37,177
Speaker 1: point where even the Chinese people who are used to

219
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:41,777
Speaker 1: living without freedom, are used to an authoritarian government, are

220
00:12:41,897 --> 00:12:45,337
Speaker 1: used to the totalitarianism of the Chinese Communist Party. At

221
00:12:45,337 --> 00:12:49,417
Speaker 1: some level, they're saying this is just intolerable. They had

222
00:12:49,697 --> 00:12:54,657
Speaker 1: a fire in a building in western China in the

223
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:59,617
Speaker 1: Xinjiang province, and ten people died because they wouldn't let

224
00:12:59,617 --> 00:13:02,697
Speaker 1: them leave the building because of COVID rules. So there's

225
00:13:02,697 --> 00:13:05,377
Speaker 1: a fire, people are dying in a fire, and the

226
00:13:05,457 --> 00:13:08,617
Speaker 1: Chinese authorities are saying, sorry, COVID's too dangerous for us.

227
00:13:08,777 --> 00:13:11,217
Speaker 1: We have to keep our zero COVID policy. Think about

228
00:13:11,217 --> 00:13:15,817
Speaker 1: how orwellian this is. It's a zero COVID policy, they say. Meanwhile,

229
00:13:15,857 --> 00:13:18,857
Speaker 1: they've had lots of COVID. They're setting records right now,

230
00:13:19,577 --> 00:13:22,697
Speaker 1: so it's never going It's never zero COVID. It never

231
00:13:22,777 --> 00:13:26,897
Speaker 1: has been zero COVID. The virus spreads if humans interact,

232
00:13:26,937 --> 00:13:29,137
Speaker 1: if humans live their lives, there will be COVID out there.

233
00:13:29,177 --> 00:13:32,457
Speaker 1: It will spread to people. That's what's going to happen. Ah.

234
00:13:32,457 --> 00:13:35,777
Speaker 1: But you see, even in our own country, there is

235
00:13:35,817 --> 00:13:39,297
Speaker 1: still a desire among some democrats. There's still people on

236
00:13:39,337 --> 00:13:44,137
Speaker 1: the left who think that there's something to be said

237
00:13:44,137 --> 00:13:48,337
Speaker 1: for the Chinese approach, that they take the virus really seriously.

238
00:13:48,337 --> 00:13:50,817
Speaker 1: And the Bide administration said, oh, well, COVID zero is

239
00:13:50,857 --> 00:13:54,217
Speaker 1: not our policy. Okay, But what about speaking out about

240
00:13:54,257 --> 00:13:57,937
Speaker 1: how heinous and evil it is. Well, they won't because

241
00:13:57,937 --> 00:13:59,617
Speaker 1: Fauci's out there is still saying, you know, maybe we've

242
00:13:59,617 --> 00:14:03,577
Speaker 1: got to lockdown schools. Maybe we I mean, here's Fauci

243
00:14:03,777 --> 00:14:08,817
Speaker 1: earlier this year, this year praising China for their lockdowns.

244
00:14:08,857 --> 00:14:14,217
Speaker 1: Play too there. Complete lockdown, which was their approach, the

245
00:14:14,337 --> 00:14:17,897
Speaker 1: strictest lockdown that you'd never be able to implement in

246
00:14:17,937 --> 00:14:22,097
Speaker 1: the United States. Although that prevents the spread of infection.

247
00:14:22,137 --> 00:14:26,657
Speaker 1: And remember early on they were saying, and I think accurately,

248
00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:29,297
Speaker 1: that they were doing better than almost anybody else. But

249
00:14:29,497 --> 00:14:34,417
Speaker 1: lockdown has its consequences. You use lockdowns to get people

250
00:14:34,817 --> 00:14:38,337
Speaker 1: vaccinated so that when you open up, you won't have

251
00:14:38,457 --> 00:14:42,937
Speaker 1: a surge of infections. The problem is that the vaccines

252
00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:46,737
Speaker 1: that they've been using are not nearly as effective as

253
00:14:46,737 --> 00:14:49,457
Speaker 1: the vaccines that are used in the United States, the UK,

254
00:14:49,817 --> 00:14:55,337
Speaker 1: EU and other places. Now that's actually not the problem

255
00:14:55,337 --> 00:14:59,577
Speaker 1: with lockdown. Notice he just says their vaccines aren't good enough. No,

256
00:14:59,697 --> 00:15:02,457
Speaker 1: the whole concept is wrong. See this is the part

257
00:15:02,457 --> 00:15:03,777
Speaker 1: where you have to really drill down. This is the

258
00:15:03,777 --> 00:15:05,217
Speaker 1: part where you have to see Fauci for who he

259
00:15:05,257 --> 00:15:09,057
Speaker 1: really is. All lockdowns, all shutdowns were wrong. What we

260
00:15:09,097 --> 00:15:11,817
Speaker 1: did in this country was what China is still doing

261
00:15:11,897 --> 00:15:15,097
Speaker 1: is wrong. And the Democrats, many of them here in America,

262
00:15:15,697 --> 00:15:16,977
Speaker 1: for them, it's just a matter of time. Oh we

263
00:15:17,017 --> 00:15:20,017
Speaker 1: get another really bad COVID season, maybe it's time for

264
00:15:20,097 --> 00:15:24,297
Speaker 1: some lockdowns. They won't give this up, and I think

265
00:15:24,297 --> 00:15:25,937
Speaker 1: at some level it's because they like to be told

266
00:15:25,937 --> 00:15:28,057
Speaker 1: what to do, but also they refuse to admit that

267
00:15:28,097 --> 00:15:32,097
Speaker 1: they were wrong. Now here's something I've been watching some

268
00:15:32,137 --> 00:15:35,457
Speaker 1: of the US men's national team play soccer. I've seen

269
00:15:35,497 --> 00:15:38,857
Speaker 1: I've seen all the US men's games. I've also watched

270
00:15:38,897 --> 00:15:42,657
Speaker 1: some other some other games in the in the World Cup.

271
00:15:43,337 --> 00:15:45,577
Speaker 1: I like soccer a bit. I'm not a super sports

272
00:15:45,577 --> 00:15:47,857
Speaker 1: watcher in general, but I like soccer a bit. And

273
00:15:47,897 --> 00:15:53,137
Speaker 1: the captain of the men's team today because we got

274
00:15:53,137 --> 00:15:55,617
Speaker 1: a big game tomorrow where the US is going to

275
00:15:55,657 --> 00:15:59,737
Speaker 1: be playing Iran. But Tyler Adams, who's the I believe

276
00:15:59,817 --> 00:16:04,817
Speaker 1: the US men's captain, certainly a celebrated member of the

277
00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:07,377
Speaker 1: US men's national team, He was asked a question by

278
00:16:07,417 --> 00:16:10,657
Speaker 1: an Iranian journalist. Listen to the way this journalist sneers

279
00:16:10,777 --> 00:16:14,417
Speaker 1: at Tyler Adams. You say you support the Iranian people,

280
00:16:14,497 --> 00:16:18,417
Speaker 1: but you're pronouncing our country's name wrong. Our country is

281
00:16:18,497 --> 00:16:22,137
Speaker 1: named Iran, not to Iran. Please, once and for all,

282
00:16:22,257 --> 00:16:26,017
Speaker 1: let's get this clear. Second of all, are you okay

283
00:16:26,017 --> 00:16:29,457
Speaker 1: to be representing a country that has so much discrimination

284
00:16:29,497 --> 00:16:33,737
Speaker 1: against black people? In its own borders, and we saw

285
00:16:33,737 --> 00:16:36,817
Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter movements over the past few years.

286
00:16:38,057 --> 00:16:40,097
Speaker 1: This is this is straight out of the Soviet playbook.

287
00:16:40,097 --> 00:16:44,177
Speaker 1: With the Iranians are doing trying to compare the moral

288
00:16:44,257 --> 00:16:46,897
Speaker 1: failings of the US and the moral failings of Iron. Well,

289
00:16:46,897 --> 00:16:50,377
Speaker 1: basically they say Iran has no moral failings. Iran is

290
00:16:50,417 --> 00:16:53,777
Speaker 1: a Before I get you into this, I want to

291
00:16:53,817 --> 00:16:56,217
Speaker 1: note that the US men's captain here did a phenomenal

292
00:16:56,337 --> 00:16:58,937
Speaker 1: job in responses. Let me play his response, go for it.

293
00:16:59,217 --> 00:17:03,857
Speaker 1: My apologies on the mispronunciation of your country. That being said,

294
00:17:04,377 --> 00:17:07,457
Speaker 1: you know, there's discrimination everywhere you go. One thing that

295
00:17:07,537 --> 00:17:10,377
Speaker 1: I've learned is that in the US, where can tenuing

296
00:17:10,417 --> 00:17:13,337
Speaker 1: to make progress every single day. I grew up in

297
00:17:13,177 --> 00:17:16,337
Speaker 1: a white family with an obviously an African American heritage

298
00:17:16,537 --> 00:17:19,137
Speaker 1: and background as well, so I had a little bit

299
00:17:19,177 --> 00:17:22,457
Speaker 1: of different cultures and I was very, very easily able

300
00:17:22,457 --> 00:17:25,377
Speaker 1: to assimilate in different different cultures. So you know, not

301
00:17:25,457 --> 00:17:28,817
Speaker 1: everyone has that that ease and the ability to do that,

302
00:17:28,857 --> 00:17:31,337
Speaker 1: and obviously it takes longest to understand and through education,

303
00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:34,177
Speaker 1: I think it's it's super important, Like you're just educating

304
00:17:34,177 --> 00:17:36,737
Speaker 1: me now on the pronunciation of your country. So yeah,

305
00:17:36,817 --> 00:17:39,377
Speaker 1: it's a process. I think as long as you see progress,

306
00:17:39,577 --> 00:17:42,737
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. So first of all, he

307
00:17:42,777 --> 00:17:46,377
Speaker 1: handles it perfectly, and we are proud as Americans of

308
00:17:46,417 --> 00:17:49,657
Speaker 1: him and of the whole US men's team for competing

309
00:17:49,737 --> 00:17:52,097
Speaker 1: and and for doing doing well so far. They just

310
00:17:52,097 --> 00:17:53,937
Speaker 1: held England to a draw. But we're just proud that

311
00:17:53,937 --> 00:17:56,737
Speaker 1: they're out there representing the US well. And he handles

312
00:17:56,737 --> 00:18:03,217
Speaker 1: the question beautifully. But Iran is a bigoted country, treats

313
00:18:03,497 --> 00:18:09,057
Speaker 1: people from the lgbt LGBTQ community terribly as we know,

314
00:18:09,697 --> 00:18:13,457
Speaker 1: treats them as though they're criminals, still will imprison and

315
00:18:13,537 --> 00:18:17,857
Speaker 1: even execute people from that from that community, and also

316
00:18:18,017 --> 00:18:21,457
Speaker 1: is a very racist society in its own way. Ethnic minorities,

317
00:18:21,857 --> 00:18:26,417
Speaker 1: racial minorities in Iran are treated terribly. So it's just

318
00:18:26,497 --> 00:18:30,377
Speaker 1: a lie. The whole thing is a lie. But notice,

319
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:33,857
Speaker 1: notice it's so interesting to me that there there will

320
00:18:33,897 --> 00:18:37,497
Speaker 1: be those in this country who say, yeah, they'll actually

321
00:18:37,657 --> 00:18:39,977
Speaker 1: the left in this country at some level, we'll cheer

322
00:18:40,057 --> 00:18:44,537
Speaker 1: on Iran's attacks against America because anti Americanism is always

323
00:18:44,577 --> 00:18:48,737
Speaker 1: fashionable for left wingers, as we know. And it's look,

324
00:18:48,817 --> 00:18:50,537
Speaker 1: I just I think that the team captain here did

325
00:18:50,537 --> 00:18:55,857
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job responding, and Iran Iran versus Iran. I mean,

326
00:18:55,897 --> 00:18:58,697
Speaker 1: that's a tomato tomato thing, all right, so back off.

327
00:18:59,337 --> 00:19:02,217
Speaker 1: Plenty of people say, we speak English, we don't speak

328
00:19:02,257 --> 00:19:04,657
Speaker 1: far Sea, so we're going to pronounce things a little

329
00:19:04,657 --> 00:19:06,977
Speaker 1: bit differently. But it was the whole thing. It was

330
00:19:07,057 --> 00:19:10,737
Speaker 1: so condescending. Mean, he was really sneering at the US

331
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:12,817
Speaker 1: captain here, and I really hope, I mean, the best

332
00:19:12,817 --> 00:19:14,377
Speaker 1: way that this could be handled is at the US

333
00:19:14,857 --> 00:19:18,017
Speaker 1: men's national team just absolutely kicks their butts tomorrow, case

334
00:19:18,057 --> 00:19:21,017
Speaker 1: the Iranian's butts tomorrow. I really hope that happens. Thanks

335
00:19:21,017 --> 00:19:24,457
Speaker 1: for rulling with me here on Buck Sexton's show more tomorrow,

336
00:19:24,697 --> 00:19:27,337
Speaker 1: and I will certainly be talking to you then, Shield Time.
