I mean, she just ripped into former 23 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: Twitter employees for shadow banning her account. I mean, remember 24 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: we have the two hearings, one that took place yesterday. 25 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: A lot of that was about the FBI, their coordination 26 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: would Big Tech in the lead up to the twenty 27 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: twenty election. Yes, and the suppression of the Hunter Biden 28 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: laptop story. They were prepped by the FBI to do it. 29 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty unbelievable when you look at 30 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: everything that came out yesterday and then leading into today's hearings, 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: and that is the weaponization of the DOJ and the 32 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: FBI and how they've been politicized. And this is just 33 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: the beginning of what's going to be a long process 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: of one FBI whistle blower after another saying yeah, the 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: agency has lost its way and the result ought to 36 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: be in my view, I can tell you ahead of time, 37 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: is that it is a total top down restructuring of 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: the FBI and the Department of Justice. But I don't 39 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: want to get ahead of ourselves anyway. It's about two minutes. 40 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: This is Lauren Bobert ripping into these Twitter employees. Yesterday, 41 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: mister Roth, miss Gaddy, did either of you approve the 42 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: shadow banning of my account at Lauren Bobert? Yes or no? No, 43 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: I did not know it to the best of my recollection. Well, 44 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: let me refresh your memory, because on March twelfth, twenty 45 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: twenty one, and mister Roth, I know you looked at 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: it because fascist Twitter one point zero had a public 47 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: interest exceptions policy, which means for members of Congress to 48 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: be shadow banned. It to go before you, mister Roth, 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: So I'll ask again, did you shadow band my account? Yes? 50 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: Or no? Again not to the best of my recollection. 51 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: So the answer is, mister Roth, yes you did. I 52 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: found out last night from Twitter staff that you suppressed 53 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: my account for this tweet. It's a freaking joke about 54 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton being angry that she couldn't rig her election. 55 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: It's a joke. But in response, being the sinister overlords 56 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: that you all are, you placed a ninety day account 57 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: filter so I could not be found. And now we 58 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: see here that Twitter staff said the visibility filter on 59 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: my account excluded me from top searches, prevented notifications for 60 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: non followers, and much more. This is considered an aggressive 61 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: visibility filter. You silenced members of Congress from communicating with 62 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: their constituents. You silenced me from communicating with the American 63 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: people over a freaking joke. Now, who the hell do 64 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: you think that you are? Election interference? Yeah? I would 65 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: say that that was taking place because of you. For 66 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: sitting here. The Hunter Biden laptop story was suppressed, a 67 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: sitting member of Congress was suppressed, a sitting president was 68 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: banned from Twitter. You know, I bet that Putin is 69 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: sitting in the Kremlin wishing he had as much election 70 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: intervention interference as you for here. Today, we've heard about 71 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: threats to democracy, Well what about shutting down a duly 72 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: elected member of Congress. This is fundamental to our nation's governance, 73 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: and you all attacked that very foundation. Two thirty protections, 74 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: well those are for publishers, not for editors, and it's 75 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: clear you were not acting as publishers. You were acting 76 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: as editors anyway. Joining us now, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert 77 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: remind me never to piss you off because you want 78 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: to answer them pretty hard. Good job yesterday, How are you? 79 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: I am doing great? John, Thank you so much. And 80 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: you know this pissed me off. Millions of Americans for silence. Look, John, 81 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: I have the abilities to reach out to Elon and 82 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: to his staff to see exactly what happened, to see 83 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: exactly why my account wasn't growing, why it wasn't getting 84 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: the numbers that it once was. Well, what about the 85 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: millions of Americans who have no idea? Look, President Trump, 86 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: we know that he was permanently banned. That was for 87 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: everyone to see. But when they come through with their 88 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: visibility filters, when they shadow band people, you don't even 89 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: know that it's happening. You don't know why it's happening. 90 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: And millions of Americans have been silenced without even knowing 91 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: what they did wrong, for questioning government, for government, for 92 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: questioning policy, for questioning the ceding seed, for questioning vaccines, 93 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: for COVID, for shutdowns, for lockdowns, for elections, and so 94 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: much more. This Twitter hearing was all about the Hunter 95 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop story and the suppression of that. We have 96 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: AOC calling that a hiccup in the knee, a twenty 97 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: four hour hicup. She called the Hunter Biden laptops half truth, 98 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: which maybe we should give her some credit for admitting 99 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: that at least there's some truth in it, because before 100 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: it was all Russian disinformation. But this is a problem 101 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: when they are working colluding with the federal government to 102 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: suppress and censor free set speech in America. This is 103 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: a problem. And I'm so glad Sean that we have 104 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: this majority in the House of Representatives, we have the Gabble, 105 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: we are able to conduct actual oversight and get answers 106 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: to the American people about what's been going on with 107 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: big tech behind the scenes. I want to know. And 108 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: I'll go back to James Comer's opening statement that the 109 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: FBI advised senior Twitter executives to question the validity of 110 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden story. Now I had on this program 111 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: at the time it was the attorney general of Missouri. 112 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: He's now a Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmidt, and at 113 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: that point in time he is either a deposition I 114 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: believe it was a deposition with yol Roth, the at 115 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: the time Twitter and Integrity site head. And the question 116 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: came up as as it relates to the dealings that 117 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: youl Roth had with the FBI, and very specifically whether 118 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: or not beyond saying that they may be a victim 119 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: of a misinformation campaign leading up to the twenty twenty 120 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: presidential election. But very specifically, he was asked if he 121 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: had any recollections of the FBI telling him that, in fact, yes, 122 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: they mentioned Hunter Biden by name as one of the 123 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: people that may be a victim of the disinformation campaign. 124 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: Now here's the problem I have with that congresswoman, and 125 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: just stay with me here. The FBI had this one 126 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: hundred Biden laptop since December twenty nineteen, so they had 127 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: plenty of time to validate it or say it was 128 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: fake whatever. But yet you have the FBI now meeting 129 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: weekly with every big tech company telling them that they 130 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: might be a victim of disinformation. Specifically, according to mister 131 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Roth at the time, saying that the FBI even mentioned 132 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: it might be about Hunter. But the FBI had the 133 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: laptop from Hell. But they also knew Rudy Gilianni had 134 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: the laptop from Hell, so they knew the likelihood of 135 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: it coming out before election day was probably very high. 136 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: And yet so this specifically warning Twitter about the possibility 137 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: that there might be a disinformation campaign on Hunter. Meanwhile, 138 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: they had every opportunity to authenticate that laptop in the 139 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: interim right and They didn't do that until CBS came 140 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: out of the story when Republicans were named the majority 141 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: of the House of Representatives. And that's when CBS finally 142 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: came out and said, hey, look this is real. They 143 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: waited all of this time and pushed this Russian hoax 144 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: theory that this was disinformation this entire time until they 145 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: realized there was going to be actual oversight taking place 146 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: and House of Representatives and we were going to expose 147 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: the truth. The FBI is in bed with big tech, 148 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: and I expressed that in the hearing to Jim Baker, 149 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: who is a former FBI agent working for Twitter, and 150 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: he's not the only one. We know of at least 151 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: nine FBI agents that we're working for Twitter before Elon 152 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: Musk bought a crime scene, as Thomas Massey, my good 153 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: friend and co chair of the second of the mccaucus, says, 154 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: he got rid of all of them. But we have 155 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: former federal agents working for Twitter and communicating with their 156 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: former colleagues and their new colleagues and trying to suppress 157 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: this story, which interfered with the twenty twenty election. Polls 158 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: have shown us if the American people knew the truth, 159 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: knew that this was authentic and it was not Russian disinformation, 160 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: then that would have changed the outcome of the twenty 161 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: twenty election. And it's not just the Hunter Biden lapstop 162 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: being suppressed, but it's also members of Congress who are 163 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: not able to communicate with the American people about what 164 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: was going on, the work that we were doing. We 165 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: were not able to effectively campaign even for our elections 166 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: because we ourselves were under these visibility filters and being 167 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: shadow band who even we as Dulian elected members of Congress, 168 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: could not communicate to people, the American people. They were 169 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: even suppressed from sharing this story about the Hunter Biden 170 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: laptop from Hell in their vms, in their direct messages, 171 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: these are private messages to other Twitter users, and they 172 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: were prevented from even sharing the story. There. The question 173 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: now is, and we're getting into the weaponization of the 174 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: FBI and that big question today and a lot is 175 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: coming out here. I don't know if you've been following 176 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: all of these hearings, but we're really finding out that 177 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: the FBI in fact had their thumb on the scale 178 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: in a lot of big ways. Did you see the 179 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: testimony earlier from Senator Ron Johnson and the testimony of 180 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: Senator Charles Grassley, because I thought it was devastating in 181 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: terms of the FBI and Democrats and the foreign business 182 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: dealings of the Biden family syndicate. So I know of 183 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: some of the prep that was going into that. I've 184 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: not seen those hearing specifically just yet. I will follow 185 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: up on those, but it's very obvious that the FBI 186 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: did have their thumb on that scale. And this is 187 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: a problem, and this is why we have to gut 188 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: the FBI. This is why we have to clean house 189 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: at the Department of Injustice. These are Biden's bureaucrats that 190 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: are working for him, not the American people. They want 191 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: to raise taxes on the American people, cause skyrocketing inflation 192 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: and hurt the American people. Why to fund more bureaucrats 193 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: that are going to further destroy their lives. And this 194 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: is what we are going to work to root out 195 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: in the next two years. Shown this next two years, 196 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: there's not going to be a lot of legislation that 197 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: passes all the way through the House the Senate and 198 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: get signed it's in the White House. But we are 199 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: going to have two years of exposure exposing the truth 200 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: exposing the lives that have been told to the American people, 201 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: how they have been gaslit, and this amazing grip that 202 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: has been going on with the federal government to collude 203 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: with these big tech companies and push true disinformation and 204 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: even hide real information that the American people need to 205 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: be aware of. They worked to suppress that so that 206 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: information would not get to them and what and they 207 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: were called conspiracy theorists if they did talk about it, 208 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: or even labeled this domestic rorists for speaking in opposition 209 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: to what is going on. And so I'm so excited 210 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: that we in the Oversight Committee and the Weaponization of 211 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: the Federal Government Committee, we get to get to the 212 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: bottom of this and exposed this to the American people. 213 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: So maybe we have a fair chance for truth and 214 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: justice in these twenty twenty four elections that are coming 215 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: up that are so important for our nation. All right, 216 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: quick break, more with Congresswoman Lauren Bobard on the other 217 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: side than your calls eight hundred nine four one, Shawn, 218 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: as we continue. All right, we continue with Colorado Congresswoman 219 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Lauren Boberd is with us. Let me switch gears, Congresswoman, 220 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: if I may, and you heard Biden at the State 221 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: of the Union address the other night, saying that the 222 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: Republicans want to hold the economy hostage, and he's talking 223 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: about raising the debt ceiling. I remind people in twenty eleven, 224 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden said it can't be my way or the highway, 225 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: that there's got to be negotiation, and meanwhile, as president, 226 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: he has steadfastly said he won't negotiate with Kevin McCarthy 227 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: and the Republicans. Here's my question. I believe that there's 228 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: been a calculation made by the Democratic Party and the President. 229 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: They don't think that the majority two and twenty two 230 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: Republicans in the House are going to agree on a 231 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: single ask or asks in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, 232 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: and they feel if they can divide, they will conquer 233 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: and there will be no concessions. My hope is is 234 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: that all two d and twenty two of you will 235 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: agree on a plan that shows fiscal responsibility, because we 236 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: have thirty one trillion dollars in debt, We've robbed enough 237 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: money from our kids and grandkids, and that there will 238 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: be no but no defectors that would sign on to 239 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: a debt ceiling increase unless fiscal responsibility is associated with it. 240 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a deficit Reduction Act or 241 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: something similar as we had in twenty eleven that included sequestration. 242 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: That doesn't matter to me. But I want to know 243 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: if there's going to be unity. Do you believe you 244 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: will unite as a caucus? I do you know. I 245 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be a single issue, but 246 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: there's going to be some negotiations for sure. Unlike Joe 247 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: Biden saying that there will be no negotiation when and 248 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: then attacking Republicans saying that we're coming out against social 249 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: security and medicare cutting those things, he's the one on 250 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: the record saying that he would absolutely go after social 251 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: security and medicare as as a senator. He said that, 252 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: and we could play the clip. But right now there 253 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: are at least two hundred and twenty two ideas of 254 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: what we can negotiate on, and we do need to 255 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: work continue our work to getting down to what is 256 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: our final ask, what is our final demand in this negotiation? 257 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: And I do believe that all of US Republicans will 258 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: be able to get to a strong point and have 259 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: these concessions to have fiscal responsibility when it comes to 260 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling. Were well, if you guys agree, I listen, 261 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: any of the Republican programs I'll support. I've heard about 262 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: fifteen of them, but not everybody's going to get his way. 263 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: But I will say this, once all two hundred and 264 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: twenty two agree with you, you've got to lock yourselves 265 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: in cement and not budge because they're going to claim 266 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: the full faith and credit and trust to the US government. 267 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: Isn't play blah blah blah. Nope, if they want to 268 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: raise the debt ceiling, they got to show some fiscal responsibility. Congresswoman, 269 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: we always love having you. Congresswoman Lauren. By the way, 270 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: you know people still ask me if we're friends. I'm like, yeah, 271 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: we never got mad at each other. Do you get 272 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: that question too. We've always been friends, Shahn, And you 273 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: know that's that's what I love about our side, our party. 274 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: We can we can have disagreements and still be friends. 275 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: We could come together. Oh, it's just funny to me. 276 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we had an I wanted you guys to 277 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: have resolved this before January third. It was four days. 278 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: Who gives a rip. It worked out in the end, 279 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: and I think everybody's you know, happy, happier for it, 280 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: but jobs, we appreciate you being with us. Anyway, Let's 281 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: get to our busy phones here. Jeff is in San Diego, California. 282 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: What's going on, Jeff? Love it out there in San Diego? 283 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: Are you well fine? Shots? Thank you for listening to me. 284 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: I've noticed that on some of your shows that a 285 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: lot of people say corporations do not pay taxes, and 286 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: that's kind of a misnomer. They play it awful lot 287 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: of taxes and accounting wise, I actually get taxed twice. 288 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: And these facts that are thrown out, they're kind of 289 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: a misnomer, are actually playing into the hands of the 290 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: woke left wing and uh, well, maybe you're misunderstanding what 291 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Let me let me let me see if this, 292 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: if this clarifies it for you. Yes, corporations, they'll they'll 293 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: put on their taxes, they'll they'll be paying, The money 294 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: will come from them, and we'll go to the irs. 295 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: That money will happen. However, like we just had Joe Biden, 296 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: as of January first, tens of billions of dollars in 297 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: new taxes impacting people making under four hundred thousand dollars 298 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: a year, billion dollars tax increases on oil and gas 299 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: and coal, and even our pensions and savings, retirements, savings, 300 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: and two hundred and twenty five billion dollars in new 301 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: taxes on corporations on top of the taxes he already 302 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: put on corporations. What I mean by that is that 303 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: corporations are not going to sacrifice their bottom line because 304 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: of new taxes. So this is what they do. Remember 305 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: we had the supply chain crisis, and remember price of 306 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: everything was going through the roof. You know what a 307 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: lot of corporations did, right, You know that they would 308 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: reduce the size of their packages so their profit margin 309 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: remain the same. When they get new taxes, they might 310 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: do something like that, or they would increase the cost 311 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: of what it is they sell, the goods of services 312 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: they provide. And yeah, they'd pay the taxes, but they 313 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: would charge more and get that money back from we 314 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: the people. So sure, on an accounting form, it'll look 315 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: like they're paying the taxes, but they're charging us more 316 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: to compensate for it. Well, and that is true. However, 317 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: all businesses do that. There's no alternative to it, right, 318 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: So but I mean, it's so what I'm saying is 319 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: factually accurate, and that is the corporations they're not going 320 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: to pay these new taxes. We will. Oh okay, I'll 321 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: go with that. But I'm arguing against an accountant and 322 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: I did. Okay, I'm very happy about that. No, It's 323 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that when the presentation is made, 324 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: it comes out corporations pay no taxes, stop, and then 325 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: the rest of it comes out. And what happens is 326 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: that most people just get that one sound bite, and 327 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: I believe it's it just gets passed on to we 328 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: the people. That's the bottom line. They're not raising The 329 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: corporations are not going to sacrifice their bottom line. They're 330 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: in business to make money. They have shareholders, many of them, 331 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: and if the government raises taxes, they're going to pass 332 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: it on to us one way or the other. So 333 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: the government acts like we're going after big oil, we're 334 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: going after a big pharma, we're going after big big, 335 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: big whatever. We're going after the rich people. They just 336 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's just a lie, that's correct, It's a 337 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: huge lie. And that's the reason I wanted to bring 338 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: that up because you know what, I agree with you, ohheartedly. 339 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: I appreciate what you're doing, and you're definitely excellent American. Well, 340 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate your very kind I'll give you one other example, 341 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: like this billionaire tax proposal by Biden. The argument that 342 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: they're making is that billionaires pay eight percent, only eight 343 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: percent of their income in taxes. Here's what they're factoring in, 344 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: and this would be called in your world an accounting gimmick. 345 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: So they will count invested monies in the stock market 346 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: that they have not realized as any gain. In other words, 347 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: they invested the money, it's sitting there, stocks go up, 348 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: stocks go down, and when they pay taxes will be 349 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: if they sell the stock at that point, they would 350 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: they would pay what's called a capital gains tax. Correct, correct. Okay, 351 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: So what they're doing to get to that eight percent 352 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: figure is they are counting all of that money that 353 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: is in the stock market as quote, not be as 354 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: the money that people didn't pay taxes on. Well, the 355 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: taxes aren't due on that money yet. So when you 356 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: get to the real figure, it's about twenty twenty five 357 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: of billionaires incomes that goes to taxes, and which by 358 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: the way, is in line with many other Americans based 359 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: on legal deductions by the way they create the deductions. 360 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: Now I can tell you with my own accounting, I 361 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: look at my tax thing and I can't make heads 362 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: a tail out of any of it. So I actually 363 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: have not only an accountant, then I have an auditor 364 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: accounting firm go over the tax work of my accountant. 365 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: Then it goes to my lawyer and his people check 366 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: it because I can't sign a document unless I'm triplely 367 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: sure that it's it's you know, is accurate based on 368 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: the law as possible. And I pay my fair share. 369 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: Trust me, if you look at my bottom line, would 370 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: I pay, you would say, yep, he's not cheating on 371 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: his taxes. He's paying. Well, that's right, And most corporations 372 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: do that. They double check and check. Actually taxes almost 373 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: paid daily. Yeah, I mean it's sad. By the way, 374 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: I don't envy your work. I admire the fact that 375 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: you can do something that I could never do in 376 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: a million years. So I appreciate people like you out there. Okay, oh, 377 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: we appreciate you too, Sean. All right, God bless you, 378 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: my friend. Have a great day out there in California. 379 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: San Diego is beautiful. I wouldn't want to live there, 380 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: only because Gavin Newsom is the governor and he's turned 381 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: the place into a complete Adam schiffhol But that's a 382 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: different story. Neil is in Arizona. Neil, how are you glad? 383 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: You called good? Sean? How are you? I'm good, sir. 384 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: What's going on? Hey? I'm just wondering about the farmers. 385 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: You know, I have not heard of any fundraisers or 386 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: anything for like steed and seed and maybe fertilizer. Is 387 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: anything going on with helping the farmers off? We're going 388 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: to need food. All the farmers that have called this 389 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: program and that have been warning us this audience about 390 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: a coming food shortage because they can't afford to the 391 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: tripling in price or the fertilizer. They can't afford the 392 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: double aim the price a seed. They can't afford the equipment, 393 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, replacement costs that are out there, or repair 394 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: costs if they can even get a repair item that 395 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: they need for the attractor or whatever piece of heavy 396 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: equipment that they have. So the answer is none that 397 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: I am aware of. Remember years ago, I think it 398 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: was Willie Nelson used to do farm made and you 399 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: know I thought it was a great thing to help 400 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: American farmers, and maybe it's time to bring that back, 401 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: because you know what, our farmers when they're hurting, we're 402 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: all going to pay a price. We've gotten way two 403 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: used to going into our grocery store and seeing, you know, 404 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: the shelves stocked to the brim and full, and everything 405 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: you'd ever want or need is in your grocery store. 406 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: I did go to my grocery store during the supply 407 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: chain shortage, and I saw a lot of empty shelves. 408 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: I just happen to eat meat, more meat, and eggs 409 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: and mostly keto friendly paleo diet. So but I'll tell you, 410 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't like paying twice what I used to pay, 411 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: and that's what I pay now. Although sweet Baby James 412 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: and my sister have been living with me, they basically 413 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: have become squatters at my house while they've been waiting 414 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: for their house to close. And they got their CEO 415 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: the other day. Are you guys ever leaving my house 416 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: or this is going to be in perpetuity? But they've 417 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: been with me for like what eight months now, so 418 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: I haven't been shopping as often because my sister does 419 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: it regularly. So James doesn't go shopping. I dragged him 420 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: there once and he was like, can we leave now? 421 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: And I happen to like shopping. I meet everybody, I say, 422 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: hide everybody, and then I get the infamous question every time. 423 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: Now you maybe you can help me out with this. 424 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: Why do people say when they see me in the store, 425 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Why are you here? And 426 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, obviously I like to eat. I mean, don't 427 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: you think that's an odd question to ask somebody? They 428 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: must think I have people for this sort of the 429 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: one right now with my sister and sweet baby. Although 430 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: he couldn't shop his way out of anything. I mean, 431 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: he would buy expired milk, he'd buy expired meat, he'd 432 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: buy he wouldn't even look at these things, you know. 433 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: I'm like, for example, when I buy my meat, I 434 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: usually like, look underneath the shelf, and I look it 435 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: all the way in the back, and it's the cell 436 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: by date. Usually let's say it was, you know, February tenth. 437 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: Now it will be February seventeen, so the meat will 438 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: stay fresher in my refrigerator longer, So I buy that one. 439 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: That makes sense? Ye, yes, sir, all right, buddy good idea. 440 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: Let's see if something emerges. If it does, will promote it. 441 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that anyway. Eight hundred nine four one, Sean, 442 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: our number. You want to be a part of the program. 443 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: George in Florida. Hey, George, Free State of Florida. What's 444 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: going on? Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call. I 445 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: called you about us about five months ago and ask 446 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: you what the impact that Elon Musk buying Twitter was 447 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: and I thought it was going to be a game changer, 448 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: and you said, well, Elon's a smart guy, and if 449 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: he does everything he said he's going to do, is 450 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: gonna be good. But you're just gonna wait and see. 451 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: And that's been a long five months, Sean. He exposed Twitter. 452 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: I've got the Twitter files and and everything that's happening. 453 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: But Congress is probably the catalyst, is what he has done. 454 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: And I think, um, I'm fascinated with Elon Musk, and 455 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: I tend to doubt that he agrees with me, or 456 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, I know he knows who I am because 457 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: I once exchanged a couple of quick texts with him 458 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: and tried to invite him on the show, only because 459 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: I view him as a modern day innovator. I mean, 460 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: you know everything with space. I'm fascinated with Tesla the company. Um, 461 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm not that interested in electric cars, but one of 462 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: my friends has one and loves it. But um, him 463 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: as an innovator, I mean, this guy is off the 464 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: charts smart and I just like to talk to smart people. 465 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: So I tried. I said, I'll give you an hour, 466 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: and I don't want to talk about politics, I want 467 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: to talk about your innovation and uh, and then he 468 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: stopped talking to me. So that was the end of 469 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: that interview. I took that as a no. Yeah, I 470 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: think he's I think he's a grand strategist and he's 471 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: just like you and me, where he wants what he wants, 472 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: something better for his family, and he just knows if 473 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: he has he has he has the means to do something. 474 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: And he took that up and he um, you know 475 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: what we feel. I feel like sometimes we're like um uh, 476 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: slowly boiled frogs in the pot. But if you go 477 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen and seventeen, the reason why Trump 478 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: won the election because he was able to talk over 479 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: the heads of the media directly to the people. And 480 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: what happened after that is the other side started to 481 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: immerse themselves in the unelected breaucracy because what when when 482 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: when we all we had back there with the big tech, 483 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't as regulated and we were able to have 484 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: a platform, and that they basically understood that, and so 485 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: they basically we've been got. We've we've been slowly going 486 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: back to a monopoly of the legacy media, and that 487 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: has maken a lot of conservatives retreat because they have 488 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: nowhere to tell their stories. I don't, I don't think 489 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: conservatism is in retreat. I don't. I do think the 490 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: march towards radical socialism is on the march, and it's real. 491 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: I think more people have bought into the lies of socialism. 492 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: It's happened all throughout history, whatever name form manifestation it 493 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: ever takes on, it always ends the same way. I 494 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: wrote a whole chapter and live for you to die 495 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: about it. Socialism's history of failure, and it always ends 496 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: up with unfulfilled promises, more poverty, and a loss of freedoms. 497 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: And that's what's going to happen here now. The question 498 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: that I don't I can't answer, is whether or not 499 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: enough Americans buy into this garbage, and if they do, 500 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: then we're screwed because the damage they're doing now, I 501 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: mean it's almost getting to the point where we're talking 502 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: about irreparable harm now to the country, and that frightens me. 503 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: I'll give you the last thirty seconds. Okay. Now, that's 504 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: why we need a full fledged alternative to the legacy media. 505 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: It's by coincidence. Six years ago today I talked to 506 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. Wow, he said, having an altered an alternative media, 507 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: what it does is awakened people who do are not 508 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: fairly represented by the news, and that is a threat 509 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: to the far left. Listen, there are many of us 510 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: that are having that impact, nobody to the extent Rush 511 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: ever had. I mean, he's the goat, right, so, but 512 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: we all have to step up and fill a void 513 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: because no one person could fill his shoes. I mean, 514 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: he was that important to the education of the country 515 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: and conservatism. However, there we do have options against the 516 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: legacy media. This show is part of it. Talk radio 517 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: in general is part of it. Fox News is part 518 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: of it. Not everybody on Fox agrees with John Hannity, 519 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: trust me, but at least I have my show and 520 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: nobody tells me what to say or do you know so? 521 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: And even you know and conservatives do need to do 522 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: one thing too. If we agree eighty ninety percent of 523 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: the time, we're not enemies. We're fighting for the same things. Anyway. 524 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: I wish I had more time, George Florida, Thank you, 525 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: my friend. All Right, that's going to wrap things up today. 526 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: Explosive hearings today in the House Judiciary Committee.
