<v Speaker 1>Monday November twenty eighth edition of the program. We have

0:00:33.537 --> 0:00:37.657
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk calling out Apple because they're telling us that

0:00:37.817 --> 0:00:42.177
<v Speaker 1>Apple might pull all advertising from Twitter. What is going

0:00:42.217 --> 0:00:46.137
<v Speaker 1>on here with the platform wars online we'll discuss. Plus,

0:00:46.297 --> 0:00:51.217
<v Speaker 1>China has a major uprising on its hands, at least

0:00:51.217 --> 0:00:56.497
<v Speaker 1>by Chinese Communist Party standards against the insane COVID lockdowns?

0:00:56.497 --> 0:00:59.017
<v Speaker 1>Where does Fauci? Where does the Biden administration stand on

0:00:59.057 --> 0:01:03.657
<v Speaker 1>all of that? And a US player does an excellent

0:01:03.737 --> 0:01:06.857
<v Speaker 1>job handling a hostile question from a member of the

0:01:06.897 --> 0:01:13.097
<v Speaker 1>Iranian press propaganda about the US men's national soccer team

0:01:13.097 --> 0:01:14.777
<v Speaker 1>in the World Cup. We'll get into all of that

<v Speaker 1>here coming up in just a second. But have you

0:01:16.657 --> 0:01:18.497

0:01:22.657 --> 0:01:24.497

<v Speaker 1>That's done for you, Buck dot com. All right, So

0:02:11.137 --> 0:02:14.737
<v Speaker 1>let's I gotta start with this. The situation over at

0:02:15.097 --> 0:02:19.017
<v Speaker 1>a Twitter is fascinating because you have a free speech

0:02:19.057 --> 0:02:25.217
<v Speaker 1>platform that is going right now that had been essentially

0:02:25.217 --> 0:02:29.097
<v Speaker 1>a left wing province for over a decade. Right they

0:02:29.137 --> 0:02:32.097
<v Speaker 1>were able to control it, They were able to perhaps

0:02:32.097 --> 0:02:34.777
<v Speaker 1>throw elections with it the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop.

0:02:34.777 --> 0:02:38.417
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the stuff that was going on was egregious, egregious,

0:02:38.457 --> 0:02:42.417
<v Speaker 1>what was happening. And here, for example, is how he

0:02:42.537 --> 0:02:45.817
<v Speaker 1>kurts over Fox News, pointing out that journalists who are

0:02:45.817 --> 0:02:47.857
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be about free speech and the free exchange

0:02:47.897 --> 0:02:52.297
<v Speaker 1>of ideas, the lib journals hate the new Twitter because

0:02:52.337 --> 0:02:56.977
<v Speaker 1>they want the suppression of conservative ideas. Play twelve. When

0:02:56.977 --> 0:03:00.057
<v Speaker 1>you see this newspaper headline opening the gates of Hell,

0:03:00.537 --> 0:03:02.377
<v Speaker 1>that might be a subtle clue that you're not getting

0:03:02.377 --> 0:03:05.457
<v Speaker 1>an unbiased report. But that's how the latest decision by

0:03:05.497 --> 0:03:08.977
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk is described in a Washington Post news story,

0:03:09.377 --> 0:03:12.577
<v Speaker 1>with that from a Harvard instructor who also says Apple

0:03:12.617 --> 0:03:15.297
<v Speaker 1>and Google should consider booting Twitter off the app store.

0:03:15.537 --> 0:03:18.377
<v Speaker 1>Pluck for the headline, Elon must made clear from the

0:03:18.417 --> 0:03:21.577
<v Speaker 1>start he's a free speech advocate who would end permanent

0:03:21.577 --> 0:03:25.297
<v Speaker 1>bands in most cases, and most journalists preferred the old rules,

0:03:25.617 --> 0:03:29.977
<v Speaker 1>which usually penalize conservatives. Now, Musk is fair grain for criticism,

0:03:30.257 --> 0:03:33.057
<v Speaker 1>but how about a token effort to include a couple

0:03:33.057 --> 0:03:36.777
<v Speaker 1>of voices who don't think he's taking us all to hell?

0:03:38.097 --> 0:03:41.537
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's making it a better platform, which so

0:03:41.657 --> 0:03:46.337
<v Speaker 1>many people already see. Notice that he's apparently fired something

0:03:46.337 --> 0:03:52.297
<v Speaker 1>like seventy five percent of Twitter employees, and it's running fine,

0:03:52.777 --> 0:03:55.297
<v Speaker 1>and it seems to be getting better all the time.

0:03:55.337 --> 0:03:58.777
<v Speaker 1>It seems like there are constantly upgrades being made, and

0:03:58.857 --> 0:04:02.737
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot that's being done that is making it

0:04:02.777 --> 0:04:06.257
<v Speaker 1>a place where you can actually get a fair shake. Now,

0:04:06.457 --> 0:04:08.537
<v Speaker 1>this is a good thing. The journals are terrified about

0:04:08.537 --> 0:04:11.897
<v Speaker 1>this because they've gotten used to inform nation dominance over

0:04:11.937 --> 0:04:14.497
<v Speaker 1>a long period of time. They've gotten used to getting

0:04:14.537 --> 0:04:17.337
<v Speaker 1>exactly what they want from companies like Twitter and YouTube

0:04:17.337 --> 0:04:21.017
<v Speaker 1>and Facebook and you name it. Obviously, Alphabet owns Google,

0:04:21.057 --> 0:04:23.177
<v Speaker 1>Google owns YouTube. But it's the same basic idea. You

0:04:23.337 --> 0:04:28.217
<v Speaker 1>understand what's going on here. And the fact that now

0:04:28.577 --> 0:04:32.377
<v Speaker 1>Tim Cook is one Elon called them out on a

0:04:32.377 --> 0:04:35.817
<v Speaker 1>tweet earlier today pulling ads from Twitter. So now Apple

0:04:35.857 --> 0:04:39.897
<v Speaker 1>won't advertise on Twitter. Why Because Twitter is a place

0:04:39.977 --> 0:04:43.097
<v Speaker 1>where you can actually share ideas that are, oh, I

0:04:43.097 --> 0:04:46.337
<v Speaker 1>don't know, in line with the science, the actual science

0:04:46.377 --> 0:04:50.137
<v Speaker 1>on COVID when it comes to masks, vaccines. You can

0:04:50.177 --> 0:04:53.097
<v Speaker 1>express your doubts about an election or an electoral process

0:04:53.137 --> 0:04:56.137
<v Speaker 1>in some capacity, Yeah, that's right. These are things that

0:04:56.337 --> 0:04:59.177
<v Speaker 1>in a healthy and free society people can do. Now

0:04:59.217 --> 0:05:02.457
<v Speaker 1>they can be they can be shouted at by other people,

0:05:02.577 --> 0:05:04.337
<v Speaker 1>and you know there's going to be vigorous debate, and

0:05:04.377 --> 0:05:07.457
<v Speaker 1>that's all fine. But why should we accept that there's

0:05:07.497 --> 0:05:11.977
<v Speaker 1>only one group, one part of our society, one part

0:05:12.017 --> 0:05:14.537
<v Speaker 1>of the political spectrum, that is going to be in

0:05:14.577 --> 0:05:17.457
<v Speaker 1>a position where they're able to do this makes no

0:05:17.497 --> 0:05:21.897
<v Speaker 1>sense at all. It's crazy. It's crazy. And so finally

0:05:21.897 --> 0:05:24.057
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing a pushback against this. But the fact that

0:05:24.137 --> 0:05:27.297
<v Speaker 1>Apple is pulling ads and then may even pull the

0:05:27.337 --> 0:05:32.057
<v Speaker 1>Twitter app from its app store. So now now they're

0:05:32.137 --> 0:05:34.137
<v Speaker 1>doing what they're trying to run the playbook of parlor.

0:05:34.177 --> 0:05:36.697
<v Speaker 1>Remember they did a parlor all over again. They pulled

0:05:36.697 --> 0:05:38.817
<v Speaker 1>it from the app stores, and then they eventually, when

0:05:38.817 --> 0:05:43.297
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't enough, they shut down it's aws. Amazon shutdown parlors.

0:05:43.337 --> 0:05:48.097
<v Speaker 1>Servers just kick them off the internet effectively. Sorry, oh

0:05:48.137 --> 0:05:50.337
<v Speaker 1>you thought that we were just a company providing a service. No,

0:05:50.577 --> 0:05:53.777
<v Speaker 1>we're woke too. They're looking to try to do that. Now.

0:05:53.777 --> 0:05:55.817
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be more difficult with Twitter because Elon

0:05:56.417 --> 0:06:00.137
<v Speaker 1>is a billionaire many many many times over, has tremendous

0:06:01.057 --> 0:06:04.977
<v Speaker 1>not only connections in Silicon Valley, but also an understanding

0:06:05.017 --> 0:06:08.017
<v Speaker 1>of these systems. So it's gonna be hard for them.

0:06:08.737 --> 0:06:12.537
<v Speaker 1>But Apple may be picking a big fight here and

0:06:12.577 --> 0:06:14.497
<v Speaker 1>it's one that we absolutely have to see when I

0:06:14.537 --> 0:06:17.897
<v Speaker 1>don't know if what ends up happening is people start

0:06:17.937 --> 0:06:20.617
<v Speaker 1>switching over to the Android phone, Will Google, which is

0:06:20.617 --> 0:06:23.857
<v Speaker 1>a left wing company as well, will at least allow

0:06:23.977 --> 0:06:28.537
<v Speaker 1>Twitter to exist on its platform if Apple won't, or

0:06:28.617 --> 0:06:34.577
<v Speaker 1>even will Elon Musk maybe consider being in the in

0:06:34.617 --> 0:06:38.617
<v Speaker 1>the game of making phones. Is that the next thing?

0:06:38.617 --> 0:06:40.177
<v Speaker 1>I know that seems crazy, but look, the guy makes

0:06:40.177 --> 0:06:43.417
<v Speaker 1>electric cars, he makes batteries, now he owns Twitter. There

0:06:43.417 --> 0:06:46.177
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of things that he very well could

0:06:46.217 --> 0:06:50.697
<v Speaker 1>do here and we shall just have to see how

0:06:50.737 --> 0:06:53.057
<v Speaker 1>this plays out. But it's very important, I mean, for

0:06:53.257 --> 0:06:55.257
<v Speaker 1>free speech, for the future of this country. It is

0:06:55.257 --> 0:07:02.097
<v Speaker 1>absolutely critical that this mission continue. Of having at least

0:07:02.137 --> 0:07:07.097
<v Speaker 1>one platform, just one platform online of the social media

0:07:07.217 --> 0:07:12.297
<v Speaker 1>variety that allows for the free and open change of ideas,

0:07:13.177 --> 0:07:16.297
<v Speaker 1>it would be a game changer. I think people need

0:07:16.337 --> 0:07:20.297
<v Speaker 1>to recognize that it is absolutely essential. And Apple, it

0:07:20.417 --> 0:07:23.417
<v Speaker 1>just goes to show you there are people that run

0:07:23.457 --> 0:07:26.537
<v Speaker 1>these companies, even some of the most storied companies in

0:07:26.537 --> 0:07:28.697
<v Speaker 1>the world, A lot of them are either scared of

0:07:28.697 --> 0:07:31.937
<v Speaker 1>the wokeness or their work themselves, and until they feel

0:07:31.977 --> 0:07:36.217
<v Speaker 1>real economic consequences to their decision making against freedom and

0:07:36.297 --> 0:07:39.497
<v Speaker 1>free speech, they're going to continue to do it. Speaking

0:07:39.537 --> 0:07:42.097
<v Speaker 1>of the consequences for free speech, let's talk about China

0:07:42.217 --> 0:07:47.257
<v Speaker 1>and what's happening there with these protests. I mean, there's

0:07:47.257 --> 0:07:49.857
<v Speaker 1>something of an uprising against the COVID lockdowns. Where's the

0:07:49.897 --> 0:07:52.657
<v Speaker 1>Bide administration on all this. We'll get into that in

0:07:52.697 --> 0:07:56.497
<v Speaker 1>a second. Luxury items normally come with big price tags attached,

0:07:56.497 --> 0:07:58.537

0:08:58.817 --> 0:09:02.857
<v Speaker 1>for a second, and what is what is going on there? Fauci?

0:09:03.297 --> 0:09:06.297
<v Speaker 1>First of all, Fauci's on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.

0:09:07.697 --> 0:09:09.257
<v Speaker 1>How can you be apparent? How can you be an

0:09:09.257 --> 0:09:12.937
<v Speaker 1>American at this point point and not find Fauci utterly contemptuous?

0:09:13.057 --> 0:09:15.617
<v Speaker 1>I really mean this, I really want to know. How

0:09:15.697 --> 0:09:20.257
<v Speaker 1>is it possible that somebody could listen to this, this

0:09:20.377 --> 0:09:25.857
<v Speaker 1>awful Fauci. You know we're talking maybe about doing more possible,

0:09:26.097 --> 0:09:30.177
<v Speaker 1>maybe locked down in the future of the schools, and

0:09:30.337 --> 0:09:35.217
<v Speaker 1>not just feel like something really gross has occurred. This

0:09:35.377 --> 0:09:38.137
<v Speaker 1>guy has admitted no wrongdoing, and he's still out there.

0:09:38.697 --> 0:09:40.497
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't even admitted that he was wrong, never mind

0:09:40.497 --> 0:09:42.457
<v Speaker 1>wrong doing, won't even admit that what he said wasn't true.

0:09:42.977 --> 0:09:46.257
<v Speaker 1>Here's doctor Fauci telling Face the Nation hosts Margaret Brennan that,

0:09:46.817 --> 0:09:48.977
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe I don't know, should schools close down?

0:09:49.137 --> 0:09:52.457
<v Speaker 1>Tough call? Play clip one. So coming out of the holidays,

0:09:52.777 --> 0:09:57.297
<v Speaker 1>should parents expect schools to shut down? I don't know, Margaret,

0:09:57.337 --> 0:10:00.417
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. When you talk about shutting down schools,

0:10:00.457 --> 0:10:07.537
<v Speaker 1>there's always just exactly, there's always the collateral issues. So

0:10:07.617 --> 0:10:09.657
<v Speaker 1>you have to balance and you do it in real

0:10:09.697 --> 0:10:13.857
<v Speaker 1>time depending upon the viral load of disease in your region.

0:10:14.297 --> 0:10:17.977
<v Speaker 1>So you have to have the local authorities evaluate on

0:10:18.017 --> 0:10:23.857
<v Speaker 1>a situation by situation basis the potential collateral deleterious effects

0:10:24.137 --> 0:10:26.097
<v Speaker 1>with the effects of what might happen if you have

0:10:26.177 --> 0:10:30.217
<v Speaker 1>so many kids getting infected. This is just totally untrue

0:10:30.977 --> 0:10:34.817
<v Speaker 1>because it's not a tradeoff between the great things that

0:10:34.857 --> 0:10:40.177
<v Speaker 1>can happen as a result of lockdowns, the benefits versus

0:10:40.177 --> 0:10:44.257
<v Speaker 1>the draw it's all drawback. There's only drawback. But Fauci

0:10:44.337 --> 0:10:48.137
<v Speaker 1>hasn't accepted yet that lockdowns were not just a bad idea,

0:10:48.217 --> 0:10:52.177
<v Speaker 1>they were entirely wrong idea. There is no aspect of

0:10:52.217 --> 0:10:54.617
<v Speaker 1>them that made any sense. There's nothing about lockdowns that

0:10:54.657 --> 0:11:01.137
<v Speaker 1>were a good thing from a health perspective. And what's

0:11:01.177 --> 0:11:03.257
<v Speaker 1>interesting is that there is the largest country in the

0:11:03.257 --> 0:11:08.057
<v Speaker 1>world right now, China, where lockdowns are still ongoing, still

0:11:08.097 --> 0:11:11.737
<v Speaker 1>happening in China, it has not stopped. And here is

0:11:11.897 --> 0:11:15.977
<v Speaker 1>a CNN reporter on the Chinese COVID protests that have

0:11:16.097 --> 0:11:17.937
<v Speaker 1>broken out. Play five. I'm in the center of a

0:11:18.017 --> 0:11:21.017
<v Speaker 1>protest in Beijing right now. They're chanting that they don't

0:11:21.097 --> 0:11:24.657
<v Speaker 1>want COVID tests, they want freedom. They've been chanting this

0:11:25.097 --> 0:11:27.777
<v Speaker 1>for hours. People have gathered here in the center of

0:11:27.817 --> 0:11:31.657
<v Speaker 1>Beijing to protest the COVID measures. We are in Tayang District.

0:11:31.657 --> 0:11:34.377
<v Speaker 1>This is the city center. This is also where the

0:11:34.417 --> 0:11:37.217
<v Speaker 1>authorities have urged people to stay at home because the

0:11:37.257 --> 0:11:40.577
<v Speaker 1>COVID outbreak is severe here now. The area is also

0:11:41.057 --> 0:11:43.697
<v Speaker 1>important because this is where the American embassy is over there.

0:11:43.737 --> 0:11:46.377
<v Speaker 1>There are many foreign embassies over here, there is a

0:11:46.417 --> 0:11:49.897
<v Speaker 1>heavy police presence. I am surrounded by a police They're

0:11:49.977 --> 0:11:51.937
<v Speaker 1>telling me to shift in a little bit. And if

0:11:51.937 --> 0:11:54.217
<v Speaker 1>we just turn the camera around, you'll see there is

0:11:54.257 --> 0:11:57.817
<v Speaker 1>a row of police. There is mostly young people who

0:11:57.817 --> 0:12:00.937
<v Speaker 1>have gathered here, and many people are also holding white

0:12:00.937 --> 0:12:04.377
<v Speaker 1>papers in their hands, which is a sign of solidarity

0:12:04.537 --> 0:12:10.297
<v Speaker 1>against censorship, a sign of solidarity against censorship. To do

0:12:10.337 --> 0:12:14.097
<v Speaker 1>this in China requires real bravery, because the Chinese Communist

0:12:14.097 --> 0:12:19.337
<v Speaker 1>Party will make people disappear, imprison them, torture them, execute

0:12:19.377 --> 0:12:22.217
<v Speaker 1>them for being any kind of threat to the regime,

0:12:22.257 --> 0:12:26.137
<v Speaker 1>for speaking out against the kind of control that chijin

0:12:26.217 --> 0:12:30.617
<v Speaker 1>Ping absolutely demands. And so what we see here is

0:12:30.857 --> 0:12:35.337
<v Speaker 1>in China, the zero COVID policy continues on to the

0:12:35.337 --> 0:12:37.177
<v Speaker 1>point where even the Chinese people who are used to

0:12:37.257 --> 0:12:41.777
<v Speaker 1>living without freedom, are used to an authoritarian government, are

0:12:41.897 --> 0:12:45.337
<v Speaker 1>used to the totalitarianism of the Chinese Communist Party. At

0:12:45.337 --> 0:12:49.417
<v Speaker 1>some level, they're saying this is just intolerable. They had

0:12:49.697 --> 0:12:54.657
<v Speaker 1>a fire in a building in western China in the

0:12:54.817 --> 0:12:59.617
<v Speaker 1>Xinjiang province, and ten people died because they wouldn't let

0:12:59.617 --> 0:13:02.697
<v Speaker 1>them leave the building because of COVID rules. So there's

0:13:02.697 --> 0:13:05.377
<v Speaker 1>a fire, people are dying in a fire, and the

0:13:05.457 --> 0:13:08.617
<v Speaker 1>Chinese authorities are saying, sorry, COVID's too dangerous for us.

0:13:08.777 --> 0:13:11.217
<v Speaker 1>We have to keep our zero COVID policy. Think about

0:13:11.217 --> 0:13:15.817
<v Speaker 1>how orwellian this is. It's a zero COVID policy, they say. Meanwhile,

0:13:15.857 --> 0:13:18.857
<v Speaker 1>they've had lots of COVID. They're setting records right now,

0:13:19.577 --> 0:13:22.697
<v Speaker 1>so it's never going It's never zero COVID. It never

0:13:22.777 --> 0:13:26.897
<v Speaker 1>has been zero COVID. The virus spreads if humans interact,

0:13:26.937 --> 0:13:29.137
<v Speaker 1>if humans live their lives, there will be COVID out there.

0:13:29.177 --> 0:13:32.457
<v Speaker 1>It will spread to people. That's what's going to happen. Ah.

0:13:32.457 --> 0:13:35.777
<v Speaker 1>But you see, even in our own country, there is

0:13:35.817 --> 0:13:39.297
<v Speaker 1>still a desire among some democrats. There's still people on

0:13:39.337 --> 0:13:44.137
<v Speaker 1>the left who think that there's something to be said

0:13:44.137 --> 0:13:48.337
<v Speaker 1>for the Chinese approach, that they take the virus really seriously.

0:13:48.337 --> 0:13:50.817
<v Speaker 1>And the Bide administration said, oh, well, COVID zero is

0:13:50.857 --> 0:13:54.217
<v Speaker 1>not our policy. Okay, But what about speaking out about

0:13:54.257 --> 0:13:57.937
<v Speaker 1>how heinous and evil it is. Well, they won't because

0:13:57.937 --> 0:13:59.617
<v Speaker 1>Fauci's out there is still saying, you know, maybe we've

0:13:59.617 --> 0:14:03.577
<v Speaker 1>got to lockdown schools. Maybe we I mean, here's Fauci

0:14:03.777 --> 0:14:08.817
<v Speaker 1>earlier this year, this year praising China for their lockdowns.

0:14:08.857 --> 0:14:14.217
<v Speaker 1>Play too there. Complete lockdown, which was their approach, the

0:14:14.337 --> 0:14:17.897
<v Speaker 1>strictest lockdown that you'd never be able to implement in

0:14:17.937 --> 0:14:22.097
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Although that prevents the spread of infection.

0:14:22.137 --> 0:14:26.657
<v Speaker 1>And remember early on they were saying, and I think accurately,

0:14:26.657 --> 0:14:29.297
<v Speaker 1>that they were doing better than almost anybody else. But

0:14:29.497 --> 0:14:34.417
<v Speaker 1>lockdown has its consequences. You use lockdowns to get people

0:14:34.817 --> 0:14:38.337
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated so that when you open up, you won't have

0:14:38.457 --> 0:14:42.937
<v Speaker 1>a surge of infections. The problem is that the vaccines

0:14:43.017 --> 0:14:46.737
<v Speaker 1>that they've been using are not nearly as effective as

0:14:46.737 --> 0:14:49.457
<v Speaker 1>the vaccines that are used in the United States, the UK,

0:14:49.817 --> 0:14:55.337
<v Speaker 1>EU and other places. Now that's actually not the problem

0:14:55.337 --> 0:14:59.577
<v Speaker 1>with lockdown. Notice he just says their vaccines aren't good enough. No,

0:14:59.697 --> 0:15:02.457
<v Speaker 1>the whole concept is wrong. See this is the part

0:15:02.457 --> 0:15:03.777
<v Speaker 1>where you have to really drill down. This is the

0:15:03.777 --> 0:15:05.217
<v Speaker 1>part where you have to see Fauci for who he

0:15:05.257 --> 0:15:09.057
<v Speaker 1>really is. All lockdowns, all shutdowns were wrong. What we

0:15:09.097 --> 0:15:11.817
<v Speaker 1>did in this country was what China is still doing

0:15:11.897 --> 0:15:15.097
<v Speaker 1>is wrong. And the Democrats, many of them here in America,

0:15:15.697 --> 0:15:16.977
<v Speaker 1>for them, it's just a matter of time. Oh we

0:15:17.017 --> 0:15:20.017
<v Speaker 1>get another really bad COVID season, maybe it's time for

0:15:20.097 --> 0:15:24.297
<v Speaker 1>some lockdowns. They won't give this up, and I think

0:15:24.297 --> 0:15:25.937
<v Speaker 1>at some level it's because they like to be told

0:15:25.937 --> 0:15:28.057
<v Speaker 1>what to do, but also they refuse to admit that

0:15:28.097 --> 0:15:32.097
<v Speaker 1>they were wrong. Now here's something I've been watching some

0:15:32.137 --> 0:15:35.457
<v Speaker 1>of the US men's national team play soccer. I've seen

0:15:35.497 --> 0:15:38.857
<v Speaker 1>I've seen all the US men's games. I've also watched

0:15:38.897 --> 0:15:42.657
<v Speaker 1>some other some other games in the in the World Cup.

0:15:43.337 --> 0:15:45.577
<v Speaker 1>I like soccer a bit. I'm not a super sports

0:15:45.577 --> 0:15:47.857
<v Speaker 1>watcher in general, but I like soccer a bit. And

0:15:47.897 --> 0:15:53.137
<v Speaker 1>the captain of the men's team today because we got

0:15:53.137 --> 0:15:55.617
<v Speaker 1>a big game tomorrow where the US is going to

0:15:55.657 --> 0:15:59.737
<v Speaker 1>be playing Iran. But Tyler Adams, who's the I believe

0:15:59.817 --> 0:16:04.817
<v Speaker 1>the US men's captain, certainly a celebrated member of the

0:16:04.897 --> 0:16:07.377
<v Speaker 1>US men's national team, He was asked a question by

0:16:07.417 --> 0:16:10.657
<v Speaker 1>an Iranian journalist. Listen to the way this journalist sneers

0:16:10.777 --> 0:16:14.417
<v Speaker 1>at Tyler Adams. You say you support the Iranian people,

0:16:14.497 --> 0:16:18.417
<v Speaker 1>but you're pronouncing our country's name wrong. Our country is

0:16:18.497 --> 0:16:22.137
<v Speaker 1>named Iran, not to Iran. Please, once and for all,

0:16:22.257 --> 0:16:26.017
<v Speaker 1>let's get this clear. Second of all, are you okay

0:16:26.017 --> 0:16:29.457
<v Speaker 1>to be representing a country that has so much discrimination

0:16:29.497 --> 0:16:33.737
<v Speaker 1>against black people? In its own borders, and we saw

0:16:33.737 --> 0:16:36.817
<v Speaker 1>the Black Lives Matter movements over the past few years.

0:16:38.057 --> 0:16:40.097
<v Speaker 1>This is this is straight out of the Soviet playbook.

0:16:40.097 --> 0:16:44.177
<v Speaker 1>With the Iranians are doing trying to compare the moral

0:16:44.257 --> 0:16:46.897
<v Speaker 1>failings of the US and the moral failings of Iron. Well,

0:16:46.897 --> 0:16:50.377
<v Speaker 1>basically they say Iran has no moral failings. Iran is

0:16:50.417 --> 0:16:53.777
<v Speaker 1>a Before I get you into this, I want to

0:16:53.817 --> 0:16:56.217
<v Speaker 1>note that the US men's captain here did a phenomenal

0:16:56.337 --> 0:16:58.937
<v Speaker 1>job in responses. Let me play his response, go for it.

0:16:59.217 --> 0:17:03.857
<v Speaker 1>My apologies on the mispronunciation of your country. That being said,

0:17:04.377 --> 0:17:07.457
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's discrimination everywhere you go. One thing that

0:17:07.537 --> 0:17:10.377
<v Speaker 1>I've learned is that in the US, where can tenuing

0:17:10.417 --> 0:17:13.337
<v Speaker 1>to make progress every single day. I grew up in

0:17:13.177 --> 0:17:16.337
<v Speaker 1>a white family with an obviously an African American heritage

0:17:16.537 --> 0:17:19.137
<v Speaker 1>and background as well, so I had a little bit

0:17:19.177 --> 0:17:22.457
<v Speaker 1>of different cultures and I was very, very easily able

0:17:22.457 --> 0:17:25.377
<v Speaker 1>to assimilate in different different cultures. So you know, not

0:17:25.457 --> 0:17:28.817
<v Speaker 1>everyone has that that ease and the ability to do that,

0:17:28.857 --> 0:17:31.337
<v Speaker 1>and obviously it takes longest to understand and through education,

0:17:31.417 --> 0:17:34.177
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's super important, Like you're just educating

0:17:34.177 --> 0:17:36.737
<v Speaker 1>me now on the pronunciation of your country. So yeah,

0:17:36.817 --> 0:17:39.377
<v Speaker 1>it's a process. I think as long as you see progress,

0:17:39.577 --> 0:17:42.737
<v Speaker 1>that's the most important thing. So first of all, he

0:17:42.777 --> 0:17:46.377
<v Speaker 1>handles it perfectly, and we are proud as Americans of

0:17:46.417 --> 0:17:49.657
<v Speaker 1>him and of the whole US men's team for competing

0:17:49.737 --> 0:17:52.097
<v Speaker 1>and and for doing doing well so far. They just

0:17:52.097 --> 0:17:53.937
<v Speaker 1>held England to a draw. But we're just proud that

0:17:53.937 --> 0:17:56.737
<v Speaker 1>they're out there representing the US well. And he handles

0:17:56.737 --> 0:18:03.217
<v Speaker 1>the question beautifully. But Iran is a bigoted country, treats

0:18:03.497 --> 0:18:09.057
<v Speaker 1>people from the lgbt LGBTQ community terribly as we know,

0:18:09.697 --> 0:18:13.457
<v Speaker 1>treats them as though they're criminals, still will imprison and

0:18:13.537 --> 0:18:17.857
<v Speaker 1>even execute people from that from that community, and also

0:18:18.017 --> 0:18:21.457
<v Speaker 1>is a very racist society in its own way. Ethnic minorities,

0:18:21.857 --> 0:18:26.417
<v Speaker 1>racial minorities in Iran are treated terribly. So it's just

0:18:26.497 --> 0:18:30.377
<v Speaker 1>a lie. The whole thing is a lie. But notice,

0:18:31.177 --> 0:18:33.857
<v Speaker 1>notice it's so interesting to me that there there will

0:18:33.897 --> 0:18:37.497
<v Speaker 1>be those in this country who say, yeah, they'll actually

0:18:37.657 --> 0:18:39.977
<v Speaker 1>the left in this country at some level, we'll cheer

0:18:40.057 --> 0:18:44.537
<v Speaker 1>on Iran's attacks against America because anti Americanism is always

0:18:44.577 --> 0:18:48.737
<v Speaker 1>fashionable for left wingers, as we know. And it's look,

0:18:48.817 --> 0:18:50.537
<v Speaker 1>I just I think that the team captain here did

0:18:50.537 --> 0:18:55.857
<v Speaker 1>a phenomenal job responding, and Iran Iran versus Iran. I mean,

0:18:55.897 --> 0:18:58.697
<v Speaker 1>that's a tomato tomato thing, all right, so back off.

0:18:59.337 --> 0:19:02.217
<v Speaker 1>Plenty of people say, we speak English, we don't speak

0:19:02.257 --> 0:19:04.657
<v Speaker 1>far Sea, so we're going to pronounce things a little

0:19:04.657 --> 0:19:06.977
<v Speaker 1>bit differently. But it was the whole thing. It was

0:19:07.057 --> 0:19:10.737
<v Speaker 1>so condescending. Mean, he was really sneering at the US

0:19:10.817 --> 0:19:12.817
<v Speaker 1>captain here, and I really hope, I mean, the best

0:19:12.817 --> 0:19:14.377
<v Speaker 1>way that this could be handled is at the US

0:19:14.857 --> 0:19:18.017
<v Speaker 1>men's national team just absolutely kicks their butts tomorrow, case

0:19:18.057 --> 0:19:21.017
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian's butts tomorrow. I really hope that happens. Thanks

0:19:21.017 --> 0:19:24.457
<v Speaker 1>for rulling with me here on Buck Sexton's show more tomorrow,

0:19:24.697 --> 0:19:27.337
<v Speaker 1>and I will certainly be talking to you then, Shield Time.
