But it's 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: amazing to watch them not able to make sense of 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: that which is so clear and so obvious. In fact, 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: they often take the wrong conclusions or come to the 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: wrong conclusions from the most clear and most important evidence 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 1: that you could see.

Nobody really thinks that Benjamin 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: don Yahoo is going to do what Joe Biden says. Right. 38 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: We all understand that I know that there's a close 39 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: relationship between Israel and the US and that they are 40 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: a strong ally in the Middle East on so many issues, 41 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: but It's as I've been saying all along. When someone 42 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: threatens you with lethal force, you your family, your people. 43 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: With lethal force, you do what you have to do 44 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: to stop that threat. Everything else just starts to sound 45 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: like noise. Everything outside of that is a second and 46 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: dary consideration at best. And I do want there to 47 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: be a ceasefire, and I understand that desire, but I 48 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: also know that it will come when the Israelis no 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: longer have concerns about an imminent threat from Hamas rockets 50 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: and Hamas terrorist acts. That's just the way this is 51 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: going to play out, so we have to keep focused 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: on that. But the thing for me that's pretty fascinating 53 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: to watch it play out is how the left in 54 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: this country manages to show us so many of the 55 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: philosophical dysfunctions that they bring to domestic political issues. You 56 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: see in the context of Israel and the Palestinians, so 57 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: many of the misconceptions, the moral relativism, the obsession with victimology, 58 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: the view of everything through a racial and ethnic lens, 59 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 1: so much of that as apparent, And in that way, 60 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I think that this can be instructive for all of us, 61 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: because you see that the left approaches everything foreign policy, 62 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: domestic policy, economic issues, national security issues, applying these same 63 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: intellectually bankrupt, morally rotten approaches. They use relativism, victimology, Marxism, 64 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: critical race theory, which is really just a cousin and 65 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: an offshoot on the family tree of Marxism. But they 66 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: apply those frameworks to it, and that's how they end 67 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: up with absurd things. That's how they end up saying 68 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: very very stupid things and not it seems as though 69 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: they're not able to figure out the most basic concepts 70 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: of foreign policy. Who are your friends? Who are your enemies? 71 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: Do they know? The difference? Doesn't matter? That's just start 72 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: with that approach whenever you're talking abou That's just a 73 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: good framework for pretty much life. But it certainly works 74 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: on the world stage. Who are your friends? Who are enemies? 75 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: Do they know the difference? Does it matter? Does it matter? 76 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: And it seems that there are a lot of people 77 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: in this country who have a strange affinity for hamas 78 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: a terrorist death cult that will execute people for any 79 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: number of crimes, real or imagined, that will kill people 80 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: who oppose the regime with impunity, that will kill homosexuals, 81 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: that will kill people for a whole range of not 82 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: actual crimes. But Hamas is a terrorist organization that will 83 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: determine that there must be an extreme punishment. They will 84 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: throw people off of buildings. It's a mafia state with 85 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: some ge hottest flavor thrown in. That's what's really the 86 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: essence of Hamas, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in 87 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: its orgins. This should be quite clear any of you 88 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: who have been to Israel as I have no It's 89 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: a rule of law, well functioning state where people just 90 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: want to live their lives in peace and want to 91 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: pursue their own dreams and have their own freedoms. You know, 92 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: you have Palestinian members of the Knesset. You have Palestinians 93 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: who have senior posts in government, and they support the 94 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: Israeli efforts to stop the rocket fire from coming down 95 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: all over Israel. They agree with them. I mean, I'll 96 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: tell you this right now. For all my criticism of 97 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, if China invaded tomorrow, I'd be talking 98 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: about how I want to be shoulder to shoulder with 99 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: good old Uncle Joe and all the crazy Libs repelling 100 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: that invasion. You know, there are some things that really 101 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: do bring people together. And when you're living in a 102 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: small country it's like the size of New Jersey and 103 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: you are getting hit with rockets all over the place. 104 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: It is very understandable in those circumstances. It's very understandable 105 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: that you're going to rally behind leadership and want your 106 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: national government, wants your armed forces to do everything they 107 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: can to keep you safe. And yet the idiots of 108 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,559 Speaker 1: the American left see a moral equivalency here in some ways, 109 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: or they can't seem to compute all of this. They 110 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: don't seem to understand, well, why is it that the 111 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: Israelis end up killing more Palestinians then Hamas ends up 112 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: killing Israelis Well, because they're in this for very different reasons, 113 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: trying to achieve very different ends. Hamas also started it, 114 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: which is another very important fact to keep in mind 115 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: as we go through all this. But for me, more 116 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: than anything else, this illuminates some of the core dysfunctions 117 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: of left wing thinking. Shows you why not only do 118 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: they get it wrong on Israel Palestine, they get it 119 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: wrong on so many things in so many areas. There's 120 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: a deficiency in their approach. Here's Chris Hayes of MSNBC, 121 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: who it seems to be an increasingly radical leftist over 122 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: the years. He used to just be a kind of 123 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, shrill Beta mail, but now he actually seems 124 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: to want to pose as the revolutionary of sorts. But anyway, 125 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: here he is. And by the way, before I play 126 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: the audio here, I want to be clear. I don't 127 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: want anyone dying in Israel or in Gaza. I wish 128 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: there was no violence, and I certainly don't want innocent 129 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: civilians to be killed. But Hamas forces a situation where 130 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: that will happen. And in fact, and there's plenty of 131 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: proof of this, because they do have a cult of martyrdom, 132 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: so to call it a death cult is by no 133 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: means an exaggeration. You can even see there are are 134 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: mothers of suicide bombers that have been interviewed of Hamas 135 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: and other jihadist anti Israel entities in the West Bank, 136 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: the Gaza Strip. There are interviews with the parents, with 137 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: mothers even of of young boys who have been suicide 138 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: bombers in Israel, and they are considered shahid, they are martyrs, 139 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: and they celebrate this. They think that this was a 140 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: good thing, a good idea, to go in and strap. 141 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: This is from years back when this was a constant 142 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: threat against the Israelis. But they would send individuals with 143 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: suicide vests into a crowded cafe in Tel Aviv or 144 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: in Jerusalem and try to murder and maim as many 145 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: people just who happen to be trying to get a drink, 146 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: trying to see friends, see family. That's Hamas's version of 147 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: their their glorious resistance. I mean true evil, really evil personified. 148 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: And yet Chris Hayes sits here saying, why don't we 149 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: get an iron dome for Gaza play nineteen. You know 150 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: there's been these images I've seen of the Iron Dome system. Right, 151 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: so this this missile defense system the US partly funded, 152 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: that has been intercepting Hamasa rockets into Israel, and those 153 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: rockets are being fired as a Palestinia Human rights layers 154 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: had said on their show last night, indiscriminately civilians are 155 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: war crime by definition. And the Iron Dome has worked 156 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: quite well today. Some got through. I think two Thai 157 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: nationals Hasraeli died as a result. But I look at 158 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: those images, I think, well, good, that's good. I'm glad 159 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: that those rockets are being intercepted. And also there's some 160 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: part of me it's like, can we get an iron 161 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: dome for Gaza? Can the American taxpayer foot the bill 162 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: to protect innocent children in Gaza, where there's two million 163 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: people in one of the most densely parted populated parts 164 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: of the world, so that they don't have death rained 165 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: down upon them. The iron dome in Gaza is for 166 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: Hamas to stop firing rockets, then they'd have a de 167 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,239 Speaker 1: facto iron dome because Theseraelis don't want to bomb Gaza. 168 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: How does a primetime host that MSNBC not understand this 169 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: because it's yet another deficiency of left wing thinking, bringing 170 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: moral relativism into this, as if the situations are the same, 171 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: as if there's an equivalency here between Israeli air strikes 172 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: on positions that are Hamas militants, where yes, there are 173 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: and will be civilian casualties that are part of that too, 174 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: and the Hamas approach, which is just kill anybody you can, 175 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: as many as you can go for, do it as 176 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: often as possible. If there was more parody among the 177 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: military capabilities of Hamas and Israel, if we were anything 178 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: near that, we would just have a bigger war. I 179 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: think it was Ari Fleischer who put out on Twitter, 180 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: and I don't know if heat coined this or if 181 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: this is a quote from somebody else, but if Hamas disarmed, 182 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: the violence would end tomorrow. If Israel disarmed, Hamas would 183 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: end Israel. That's the truth. These are basic fundamental understandings 184 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: of the situation. So why does the left get this 185 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: stuff so wrong? Because they apply the frameworks of identity politics, 186 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: racial Marxism, victimology, anti colonial indoctrination. They apply all of 187 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: those to this conflict today instead of just looking at 188 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: it with clear eyes and saying who's causing the violence 189 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: and how do we stop the violence? I think it's 190 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: the media itself is finally beginning to air both sides 191 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: of the dispute. Social media is doing things that you 192 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: all are not able or willing to do. The images 193 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: that people are seeing on social media they cannot unsee. 194 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: And I think that you have changes that are going on. 195 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: Things like the Tulsa riots, things like Black Lives Matter 196 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: are seen as connected by a very large number of people, 197 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: not just in the Democratic Party, but partly particularly young 198 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: people on campuses, young people all over the country. And 199 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: I think this is something that's actually happening, not just 200 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: in the United States. There's a lot of pushback, there 201 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: will be even more pushback, but I think people are 202 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: moving in the direction of understanding that much many of 203 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: these bromides. Israel has a right to defend itself. Do 204 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Israel's security? The 205 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: most insecure people in Palestine and Israel are Palestinians. And 206 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: we talk about Israel's security. If people are people and 207 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: we believe in him rights, which the United States supposedly 208 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: stands for, then the kinds of things that we expect 209 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: for ourselves we should expect for people, not just in Israel, 210 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: but also in Palestine. Always be wary of eloquent, sophomoric 211 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: bullcrap like this the bromides. He says like Israel has 212 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: a right to defend itself. Yes, that is true. This 213 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: is as I've said. They can try to tell people 214 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: as much as they want that Israel shouldn't do what 215 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: it is doing right now in response to these Palestinian 216 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: rocket attacks Hamas rocket effects. Remember Hamas is the government 217 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: of Gaza. So it's not like there's some little, tiny 218 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: fringe group that is firing some rockets that has nothing 219 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: to do really with the mass of the Palestinian people 220 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: in Gaza, and Israel is just wildly overreacting to it 221 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: and using as an excuse to kick people out of 222 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: their homes or take territory or whatever it may be. 223 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: That's not happening right now. That's not the situation. But 224 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: notice that the connection made here by that Rashid Khalidi 225 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: guest on MSNBC. He refers to to Jim Crow, he 226 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: refers to racial struggles in this country in the past. 227 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: What does that have to do with Israel and Palestine. Well, 228 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: I know that the left has all these different frameworks 229 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: that they applied and they say, oh, but you know, 230 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Israel is an ethnonationalist state and it's a terrible place. 231 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: And I sit here and to say, how many Islamic 232 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: states are there in the region. Do we ever hear 233 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: them referred to as ethno nationalist states. Yeah, show up 234 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia and be like, hey, I'm a I'm 235 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: a white Christian or a I'm a white Jew, and 236 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: I demand, you know, equal rights and equal treatment. See 237 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: how that goes for you. But we we get distracted 238 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: here from the core of what's really happening, that they 239 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: want to always turn this into a a historical struggle, 240 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: I'll say this, or a historical debate. It does remind 241 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: me of when you're in something of a toxic relationship. 242 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: Some of you have maybe been through this. I've been 243 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: through this. Unfortunately in life, you're in a toxic relationship. 244 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: What is a sign of a toxic relationship when you 245 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: try to address a problem and the other party in 246 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: that relationship does not want to address the problem and 247 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: just wants to bring in other things that they disapprove 248 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: of or don't don't like in order to go on 249 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: offense against you and avoid or even nullify the problem 250 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: that you have raised. This is very destructive, right, Hey, 251 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: you know I invited you to this to be my 252 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: my date to the wedding, and you were two hours late. 253 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: And then it's well, you didn't you know, take me 254 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: out to dinner on our anniversary and you said you would, 255 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: and we just had, you know, a cupcake instead or something. Right, 256 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: that's toxic. That's you. You have to deal with the 257 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: issue you're talking about. You can always find a way 258 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: to make it about something else, to bring up some 259 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: other issue and focus in on that. Here you have, 260 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, people that are going to try all these 261 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: different historical analogies and bring up all these things that 262 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: are not really about the issue at hand, and it's 263 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: because they don't want to deal with the fact that 264 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: this is quite clear, this is a straightforward situation with 265 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: the Israelis and Hamas right now. I'm talking about the fighting. 266 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're overall circumstance in the region. Yeah, 267 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: I know a lot of history, a lot of enmity, 268 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: a lot of bad blood, and all kinds of stuff. 269 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: But you fire rockets of people, they're going to come 270 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: back and hit you, and they're going to try to 271 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: stop you from being able to fire rockets like that. Again, 272 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: They're they're not going to wait and see if you're 273 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: going to be nice the next time. Basic reality of life, 274 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: and if you're in a weaker position than they are, 275 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have fired rockets unwise. But Representative Jayapile, for example, 276 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: is trying to find a way to make this about 277 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: blaming Israel Play seven. Well, we condemn Hamasa's firing of 278 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: those rockets, but I think you have to look at 279 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: what prompted even that behavior. I think there was, you know, 280 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: the continuing annexation that Israel has been undertaking for years actually, 281 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: and you know, Jake I was at Kanaalakmar several years 282 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: ago when the bulldozers arrived to bulldoze that village. It 283 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: was stopped by an injunction from the Supreme Court. But 284 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: this has been a pattern of action from Israel that frankly, 285 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: has taken away the idea even of a two state solution. 286 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: Has led to increased hopelessness from the Palestinian people. And 287 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: I think what Hamas has done is obviously we condemned that, 288 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: but we have to look at the power of balance 289 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: here or imbalance as it were, and we have to 290 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: put more responsibility on Israel. We condemned that, but that's 291 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: the construction that you'll hear all the time. That's the 292 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: construct rather you'll hear all the time from leftists on this. 293 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: We have to put more responsibility on Israel. You know 294 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: what Israel was doing until a couple of weeks ago, 295 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: trying to get their people back to full free life 296 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: after mass vaccination campaign, trying to reopen, trying to have 297 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: companies create really valuable intellectual property and prosperity for their 298 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: own people, and patents and things that will be useful 299 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: all over the world. That's what Israel was doing. What 300 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: were they doing in Gaza? Yes, there are people going 301 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 1: about their lives. I understand that, feeding themselves, sending your 302 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: children to school, But what was the regime doing in Gaza? 303 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: Stockpiling missiles to fire at Israel. Again, they can try 304 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: to make this much more complicated. We can allow the 305 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: faculty lounge of left wing loons to frame this however 306 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: they want. At the end of the day, this is 307 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: not a situation that requires a particularly adept mind to understand. 308 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: All you have to do is look at what is 309 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: happening and understand that there are good people and there 310 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: are bad people in this world. There are good decisions 311 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: and bad decisions. There is right and wrong, and the 312 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: moment you just start to think in those terms, instead 313 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: of using a lot of jargon and bringing in all 314 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: kinds of Marxism and intersectionality, you say, Israel is going 315 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: to defend itself and the Palestinian people should find better 316 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: leadership than Hamas. Joe Biden came in and in just 317 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: four months he's frittered all of that away, he's undermined 318 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: Israel and Prime Minister net and Yahoo. He's sent over 319 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars to the Palestinian Authority with the PA, 320 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: which is in bed with Hamas. Hamas the terrorists that 321 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: are firing those rockets you're showing right now, they've fired 322 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: over four thousand rockets into Israel, and every one of 323 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: those rockets might as well have Joe Biden's name written 324 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: on the side of it, because it is his weakness, 325 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: his appeasement, his moral relativism and ambiguity, his lack of 326 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: backbone to stand up and stand with Israel that is 327 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: causing this war in the Middle East. Now, Biden is 328 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: certainly out of his depth and is being tested in 329 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: a variety of ways and found wanting already. But I 330 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: do have to say that we like to sometimes push 331 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: this a little a little more as as a Biden 332 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: issue on the right than it is a lot of 333 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: other factors too. Now, would the mess around and find 334 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: out approach of Hamas have been the same under a 335 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: Trump administration. I don't think so, But I don't I 336 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: don't know if it's quite accurate for Ted Cruise to 337 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: say the rockets fired might as well have Biden's name 338 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: on it. Biden at our southern border. Yes, people are 339 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: literally showing up with Biden t shirts on and saying 340 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm here because of Biden. That's that's real Biden rockets. 341 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: There's a that's a that's a little Ted's bush. It 342 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: a little far on that one. Because here's the other 343 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: side of this. At the top level, administrations, both Democrat 344 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: and Republican have largely the same approach to Israel. Now, 345 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: that was a bit different during the Obama years, but 346 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: there was no Obama administration ending of USA to Israel. 347 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: There was no Obama administry. You know. Obama said things 348 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: that showed Israelis that he had a particular soft spot 349 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: for the Palestinian cause as a civil rights and human 350 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: rights struggle, right, said things that definitely irked people inside 351 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: of Israel's no question about that. But if you look 352 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: at the actions, it wasn't that different. It wasn't that different. 353 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: And this is where you see a lot of Democrats, 354 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: far left democrats are upset. They're angry with their own 355 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: side because they feel like at the top level, the Schumers, 356 00:22:53,440 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: the Pelosis, they are pretty pro Israel in their statements 357 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, they'll call for a need to be even handed, 358 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: and they'll call for a need to ceasepart, but it's 359 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: it's not really going to do anything. They know that, 360 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: they understand that they're just they're just posturing. There are 361 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: some who go a little bit, a little bit further 362 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: than this. I mean, they love to attack Net and Yahoo. 363 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: They view net and yah who as an Israeli conservative right. 364 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: They viewed Net and Yah who as if the GOP 365 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: existed in Israel, Net and Yahoo would be the head 366 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: of it. That's the mentality that democrats have. And so 367 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: that you have people like Senator Dick Durbin here who 368 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: knows that he's he's not going to oppose Israel that 369 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: much openly. He's not gonna say that it's going to 370 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: upset not just the Israelis but Jewish American voters who 371 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: also pay close attention to a lot of this commentary. 372 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, even friends of mine like David Harsani, will 373 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: will say repeatedly and openly that they don't view anti 374 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: Israel sentiment as being different from anti Semitism. They don't 375 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: view that as the great separation that others do. Here's 376 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: Dick Durbin talking about the policies of net Yahoo though 377 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: Who he is someone who is safe for the left 378 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to attack on this stuff play too. I couldn't disagree 379 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: more with the policies of Bbing Netniah Who when he 380 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: comes to the treatment of Palestinians and the establishment of settlements. 381 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: I think the two state solution is the only realistic 382 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: future in that part of the world, and the abandonment 383 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: of that approach by not netnah Who and his followers 384 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe is constructive and I think is added 385 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: to the tension and stress between Israel and the Palestinians. 386 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: That's the reality, and I am certainly not going to endorse. Now. 387 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: Let me add very quickly, I made a commitment early 388 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: in my career that I'm standing by. I am going 389 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: to support the survival of Israel. Those who want to 390 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: cut back on the protective missiles and such that they need, 391 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: I don't join in that they live in a very 392 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: dangerous neighborhood. Although I wholeheartedly disagree with amtnia Who policy, 393 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I am going to stand by my commitments to the 394 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: survival of Israel. So I am mad at nan Yahu, 395 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: but I stand by Israel. This is a classic establishment 396 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: Democrat politician approach. You got to find something to make 397 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: the squad voters, and you know, to make the AOC 398 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: wing of the party. You gotta give them something. But yeah, 399 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: ultimately got to stay on the side of Israel on 400 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: this as a Democrat too. So there's this frustration. You 401 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: see this playing out especially among some of the younger 402 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: the younger Democrats in Congress who are pushing racial Marxism. 403 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: The squad comes to mind, among others. The people that 404 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: are pushing those ideas, they view Israel Palestine through that lens, 405 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: and so they see this as an opportunity to you know, 406 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: to make gains if you will, in that regard, to 407 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: make the case. Whereas Dick Durbin has been in the 408 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: game a long time, and you know, he says, I'm 409 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: gonna stand by Israel at the end, at the end 410 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: of the day. I'm with Israel, He's saying. But you know, 411 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't like Yahoo. He's the bad guy here. Any 412 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: Israeli prime minister would react to firing to Hamas, firing 413 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: thousands of rockets in this way. Any Israeli prime minister, 414 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: any of them, would do this, you know, I mean, 415 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: if you had Bernie Sanders as the Prime Minister of Israel, 416 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: he would fight. He would have the IDF going and 417 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: hunting down hamas, firing rockets, because if you didn't, your 418 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: own people, you're the citizens, the people who live in 419 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: this date of Israel, would think you've lost your mind 420 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: and they would oust you immediately. Right, this is what 421 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: are you gonna sit there and just let the iron 422 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: dome keep shooting down rockets, keep shooting down rockets, because 423 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: remember that's not the only thing, that's not the only 424 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: effort at terrorism that comes from the Palestinian Palestinian Hamas. 425 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: That's not the only thing they're trying to do. So 426 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: you have to take the fight to them once they've 427 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: established these hostilities. You know, it's sort of like if 428 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: somebody in a bar takes a swing at you with 429 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: a bottle. Maybe you're not and you're able to knock 430 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: the bottle out of their head, you're still going to 431 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: punch them in the face because you know the next 432 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: thing that they're gonna do is take a swing at you. 433 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: As I've said, very straightforward, but Democrats make this all 434 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: so much more complicated that it needs to be, because 435 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: they bring the wrong ideas, the wrong framework in their 436 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: approach to this. They just they don't accept that there 437 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: can be In their minds, the way they see this 438 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: is that the Palestinians are brown, oppressed Muslim and suffering 439 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: from colonialism like a colonial project. That is the way 440 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: the left views the problem of the Palestinians. The way 441 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: people that understand the situation of Israel today and where 442 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: the country is. You've got a place that has made 443 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: numerous overtures at serious peace deals that have always been rebuffed, 444 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: that lives next door to a terrorist group Hamas that 445 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: is the government now of Gaza, and openly says and 446 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: seeks the destruction of Israel, and wants to murder as 447 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: many Israelis as possible, and celebrates the shedding of Israeli blood, men, 448 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: women and children whenever it can openly celebrates it. Israel 449 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: has civilian casualties and its military strikes and says this 450 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: is terrible. We are sorry. We try to minimize us 451 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: as much as possible. Hamas says, we wish we could 452 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: kill all of you. This is not the same thing. 453 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: They're not on the same moral playing field, and we 454 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: need to be very clear about that. But Democrats, you see, 455 00:28:52,520 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: their confusion about Israel and Palestinians is very much merror 456 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: image of their confusion of issues in this country. Who's 457 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: the cause of violence on American streets? Police? That's absurd, 458 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: that's idiotic. But where is the focus, all of it 459 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: from the left? All the focus from the establishment or 460 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: the establishment of the left, is on anti cop rhetoric 461 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: because of police violence, even at a time we have 462 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: surging homicides in this country, because they have a framework. 463 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: What's the framework in this country that there is a 464 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: there's a disproportionate number of people from communities of color 465 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: who are shot by law enforcement, and even though the 466 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: overall number of people shot by law enforcement is actually 467 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: quite small, that violence is far more important to focus 468 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: on by a factor of a thousand than the actual 469 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of people being killed in American cities 470 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: and towns across the country year in and year out 471 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: that have nothing to do with police, and in fact, 472 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: larger numbers of people dying because of the Democrat narrative 473 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: about police as the bad guys. You see, corrupt, illogical, 474 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: immoral ideas have consequences, whether you're applying it to what's 475 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: going on right now in the fight against hamas or 476 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: you're applying it to so called police reform efforts in 477 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: this country. We should we be worried about the variant. 478 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: I think we would be remiss to say that we 479 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: are out of the woods. This pandemic, this virus has 480 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: sent us too many curveballs to say that we too 481 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: early to declare victory. Certainly with virus circulating in other 482 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: parts of the world that is and high degree, that 483 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: gives the opportunity for more variants to emerge. So I 484 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: still it's among the things that keeps me up at night. 485 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: But right now the variants that we see here, and 486 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: we're doing a lot of sequencing now. Not out of 487 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: the woods. Not out of the woods. This is what 488 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: we have to hear now because of the variants. You know, 489 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: just let it go, CDC, leave us alone. Just stop 490 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: stop being crazy. CDC stop. But they won't. I got 491 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: Rachelle Wilenski. You know she'll change what she says next week. 492 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: Remember you were not to question what the CDC tells you. 493 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: But the CDC can change its mind whenever it wants. Okay, 494 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: so it's written in stone. But they'll just bring out 495 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: a new stone and chisel something else on it. I 496 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: see how this goes. I get it. Now. There's a need, 497 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: a very clear need to do everything we can hear 498 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: to get people out of this lockdown COVID forever mindset, 499 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: because as you're already seeing, I think people are quite 500 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: aware of it. There as a whole there are a 501 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: whole lot of folks out there who don't want to 502 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 1: let this go. There are a lot of people whose 503 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: attitude about all of this is they're going to keep 504 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 1: masking up for at least months, if not years, and 505 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: they still don't think it's safe. And you see this 506 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: first and foremost with the desire to continue masking children, 507 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: which is I think it's abuse. I mean there's different 508 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: levels of child abuse, right. I mean people will argue, 509 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, some people would argue there taking a you know, 510 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: a hairbrush and spanking your kid with it or something 511 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: you know hard is child abuse. Other people would say, well, 512 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: if you know, you touch a kid's hand, do like 513 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: a hot ire, and that's you know, criminal child abuse 514 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: and you should go to you should be arrested for that. 515 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: But this is abuse. I mean strapping a mask on 516 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: a kid and saying go go play outside with your friends, 517 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: go play sports, go go do competitive athletic endeavors as 518 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: a ten year old or twelve year old, and you 519 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: got to wear a mask. This is absurd, and I 520 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: find it very troubling that there are so many Americans 521 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: who are willing to go along with this, who are 522 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: willing to say that this is okay. Of course it's 523 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: not okay. They should know that it is not okay. 524 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: So why the confusion, Why the issue? Because they've been 525 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: brainwashed by the CDC, because they're incapable of thinking for 526 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: themselves on this one. Because we've had so much I mean, 527 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: the mass media, and it's it's what's on your TV screens, 528 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: but it's also it's your computer, it's your smartphone. It's 529 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: just the constant inundation with fauciite propaganda has been enormously destructive. 530 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: Oh then there's Pelosi who is running around saying that 531 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: you still have to wear a mask on the floor 532 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: of Congress. You still you have to do it. Plate 533 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: twelve members are reminded that the announced policies of January fourth, 534 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, as updated on May eleventh, remain in 535 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: effect respect to the wearing of masks. The Chair will 536 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: reiterate that members and staff are currently required to wear 537 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: masks at all times in the Hall of the House, 538 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: except when a member has been recognized by the Chair 539 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: or when a member acting as Chair is speaking. This 540 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: is busybody hall monitor control on steroids. You know, you 541 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: don't have to wear it in a lot of other 542 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: places in the Congress, but when you're when you're actually 543 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: on the floor of Congress, you've got it, you know what, 544 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: the cameras there, and because Pelosi says so, because she 545 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: has control there and she's going to wield that control. 546 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: Many of us saw this coming along, So it's not 547 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: even the least bit surprising. But to see how they 548 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: don't even pretend it's about disease and epidemiology anymore. It's 549 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: not it's because we say so. It's because our team, 550 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: your team Democrats became team mask, double mask, even when 551 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: outside alone and vaccinated, double mask, because we're Democrats and 552 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: it's so important to us, and we're we've internalized all this. 553 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: And then the other side was why are you being 554 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: so crazy? You know? Yeah, maybe there were some people 555 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: on the right who were a little bit less concerned, 556 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: a little bit two lax about some of their exposure 557 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: to possible COVID at different times. I'm sure that's a 558 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: real thing, but by and large, the conservative position on 559 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 1: this has just been don't be crazy, follow the actual 560 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: data that you have, be reasonable about what works and 561 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: what doesn't. And that has been a huge problem for 562 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: the left. For the Democrats, they had to be on 563 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: board for all this because the moment they started to 564 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: allow this is why the reversal of the mask mandate 565 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: is such a big deal to them, or at least 566 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: the removal temporary. I believe removal of a mask mandated 567 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: from from the CDC at the federal level is so important. 568 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: The moment that they have to admit that one thing 569 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 1: is stupid, it opened up a hundred other things they've 570 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: made us done as being stupid. Right when the second 571 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: that they can say it's anything other than because we 572 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: say so, then we get to say, well, hold on 573 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: a second. If you admit that vaccinated people, yeah, it's 574 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: not perfect, but they're safe enough that they shouldn't have 575 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 1: to wear masks, why did you say that we had 576 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: to wear masks outside all this time? Again? Why did 577 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: you say that we should have been doing this when 578 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: we go into a restaurant, but not when we sit 579 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: down at a restaurant. I mean, there's a huge list 580 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: of things you can point to you say, well, this 581 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense, a huge list of things that 582 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: is utterly bizarre, stupid, counterproductive, arbitrary, and now we can 583 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: all see it for ourselves clear as day. But Pelosi still, 584 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, you have to maskus. I said, so, Memorial 585 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: Day is coming up, and so's Independence Day. Worth of July. 586 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: This is a time when people start to think about 587 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: how much they love this country and how important it 588 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: is to show it. These days, there are a lot 589 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: of folks out there. There's a lot of different institutions 590 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of ideas that try to push down America, 591 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: try to make you think that you shouldn't be proud 592 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: of this country. You should show that that's nonsense. This 593 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: is still the greatest country, the greatest beacon for freedom 594 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: and hope that humanity has ever created. We're proud to 595 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: live here, proud to be a part of it. And 596 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: you can show that with a display of the American flag. 597 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: I want you to get your flag right now from 598 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: Allegiance Flag Supply.

A lot 602 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: of the ones you'll see out there get tangled, mildewed, 603 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: torn and shredded after just a few months outside well, 604 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: Allegiance Flag pulled together the most important different things that 605 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: they could do to make sure that these are great flags, 606 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 1: and that's why they're going to last longer, brighter colors, 607 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: more durable, and also not get all tangled up.

House Democrats vote in favor of a 621 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: January six commission, a nine to eleven style commission for 622 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: the January sixth insurrection, also known as a riot, for 623 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: which people have already begun to serve solitary confinement sentences 624 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: for crimes including a vandalism and trespassing. Kurt Schlichter is 625 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: with us now. He is a senior writer at townhall 626 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: dot com. He's also a veteran and a lawyer and 627 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: a guy who knows many things. Kurt, great to have you, 628 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: great to be here. The January six commission is not 629 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: going to be anything other than and extension really of 630 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: what we've seen in the past and situations like this, 631 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: whether it's the two impeachments against Trump or the Russia 632 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: Special Council probe of Muller, where this is just going 633 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: to be used for propaganda purposes or am I missing something? Kurt, No, 634 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: You're not missing. This is a festival of Onanism. It'll 635 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: do nothing but give transitory pleasure to the Democrats and 636 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: allow them to distract from President Asterisk's unbroken track record 637 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: of failure, gas lines, war in the Middle East, inflation. 638 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: It's like Jimmy Carter's coming back without the competence. Amazing 639 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: to see how quickly things have unraveled. And I would 640 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: even note that the border for me is the one 641 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: that's the most obvious and direct failure of the Biden administration, 642 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: as in, he changed the approach, he changed the rules, 643 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: and the floodgates were open. But you name all these 644 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: other things too. I mean, the economy, the economy right 645 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: now should be a rocket ship that everyone feels like 646 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 1: they're just trying to get a piece of. And instead 647 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: people are really concerned about inflation, really concerned that we 648 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: may stall out or even sputter and start heading in 649 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. And it just goes to show you. 650 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we're reliving so many of the failures of 651 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: the Obama years all over again because Democrats take the 652 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: wrong lessons from the pain that we the American people 653 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: have to go through. Well, Buck, I think you're missing 654 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 1: the bigger point here and why we should be celebrating, 655 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: which is no mean tweets. We don't have a guy 656 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: in the White House being mean to celebrities and other 657 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: politicians of both parties to the extent there are two parties. 658 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: We have no mean tweets, and we should be I 659 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: guess I guess that should be enough. Now it's not 660 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: enough for you, or for me or for our listeners, 661 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: but I guess that makes us bad people. It's stunning 662 00:41:54,440 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: that the journals out there are still trying to push 663 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: the storyline of an insurrection. I mean, this is the 664 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 1: It's a term they use very intentionally, you know, and 665 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: I see the propagandistic effect of it. Curt to the 666 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: same way that they always talked about Russia collusion, which 667 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: was always fascinating because collusion is not a crime unless 668 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 1: you're colluding to fix prices or something as a company. 669 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: But this Russia collusion, there was a federal statute that 670 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 1: they could have referenced Russia conspiracy, but they always wanted 671 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,959 Speaker 1: to leave it open. You know, it was all about 672 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 1: narrative creation. So even if they didn't find a crime, 673 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: collusion was almost like a willingness to think about this 674 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: other crime that Trump didn't actually do you see this 675 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: now with the way they used the word insurrection to 676 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 1: make it sound like there was a real serious effort 677 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: to overthrow the United States government. I mean, if you 678 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: would have had you know, how many people would it 679 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: really take to deal with Qann Shaman? And if they 680 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: went in there and they were using there was some 681 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: lethal force used as we know against Ashley Babbitt, But 682 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: if there was a broader usage of lethal force against 683 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: those people, the reason it didn't happen is because they 684 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: weren't using lethal force. Being the protesters inside the building. 685 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: How can you have it? How can you have a 686 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: bloodless coups, so to speak, well with the bloods on 687 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: one side, as we know, when you have people who 688 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,720 Speaker 1: were unarmed and taking selfies inside the Capitol building, Well 689 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: you can't and you don't. And I think this is 690 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: just for liberals who watch CNN, MSNBCNN, you know, to 691 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: essentially kill time and distract between Biden failures. Now, look, 692 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: you were in a country torn by a civil war. 693 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: I've spent time in a country's tone by a civil war, 694 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,280 Speaker 1: and I was in a real insurrection here in Los Angeles, 695 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: egged on by Maxine Waters. I'm talking about the LA riots. 696 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: I served in the army for three weeks on the streets. 697 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: So to those of us who are you know, adults 698 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: with experience outside of gender study seminars and the MSNBC 699 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: Green Room. This is not only a joke, but it's 700 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: a joke in bad taste. And I think that they're overstepping. 701 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: I mean, normal people look at this and they start 702 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: seeing the video footage which the federal government is attempting 703 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: to suppress remarkably, and they're seeing these guys saying, yeah, 704 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna be peaceful and Cobs ain't come on in. 705 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:40,320 Speaker 1: As a lawyer, I love this and I can't. And 706 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,719 Speaker 1: have you noticed that the feds are doing everything they 707 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: can to push off these trials. You have a right 708 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: through the speedy trial. In certain circumstances, the government can 709 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: ask for more time, and it has it's trying to 710 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: push it out. If I was representing any of these guys, 711 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: and I don't do criminal law, but if I was 712 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 1: representing any of these guys, no, no waiver of time 713 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,720 Speaker 1: you take us to trial. Oh by the way, under Brady, 714 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: I want every foot of film you took. I want 715 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,720 Speaker 1: every inch of video, every single one, to defend my client. 716 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: It's amazing how they've used this, They've weaponized this. It's 717 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: it's a club with which they bludgeon all political opponents, 718 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: now all GOP, conservative Trump supporters, everybody the insurrection. We're 719 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: speaking of k Yeah, we're speaking of Kirch Schlichtor. He's 720 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 1: a veteran senior writer or Townhall dot com and and Kurt, 721 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: you know, I actually wanted you to tell us a 722 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: little bit about because you said you spend time in 723 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: the military when you were deployed on the streets of 724 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles during what really did feel like an insurrection. 725 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: What was what was going on? I mean, you know 726 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: that this does not get the attention in in our 727 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: collective historical memory that it should. What was that like? Well, 728 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, I compare it to Capitol Hill, which looked like, 729 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, except for an unknown federal officer murdering an 730 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: unarmed trespasser. You know, that seemed like a fairly tamed 731 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: frat party. Now in Los Angeles, stuff was on fire. 732 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 1: People were getting shot. You know, your nostrils were filled 733 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: with smoke. And in my hands I had a M 734 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: sixteen A one because it was a National Guard and 735 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: we still had the a one fully automatic real world 736 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 1: assault rifle and a bunch of ammo. It was serious stuff. 737 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: It was real and what happened on Capitol Hill was 738 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 1: a joke, and we need to continue to trade it 739 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: as a joke. And finally some Republicans are starting to 740 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: come around and treat it with the lack of seriousness 741 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: it deserves. What do you make of the thirty five 742 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: GOP members who voted in the House along with this. 743 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: I just Democrats don't have this. Democrats don't have elected 744 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: official on key issues, on important moments, decide to spit 745 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: in the face of their base, of their party, of 746 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: their own side. It is a constant you know, It's 747 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: like the Romneyite disease. It is a constant challenge for 748 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,280 Speaker 1: the GOP. Yes, well, there are less of them now, 749 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 1: but remember that the left has an advantage to keep 750 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: its people in line. It has the media and the 751 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,839 Speaker 1: culture and the institutions, and to try and force our 752 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 1: people over it can tempt them with the media of 753 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: the culture and the institutions. I mean Liz Cheney, who 754 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: represents a fraction of a fraction of Republicans, who's got 755 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: a pole rating in Wyoming, that's right down there with pedophiles, 756 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: is getting shots on every single media alla and not 757 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 1: just little hits, long in depth interviews. Of course, sure 758 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: there's the contrapts. Oh, the Republican Party. Now. As fun 759 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: as it is to see the Democrats tongue bathing a chainey, 760 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: it's bizarre that anyone could take her seriously as anything 761 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 1: else but a puppet and a willing one. She's essentially 762 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: dancing for quarters. We're speaking of Kurt schlichtor, veteran Townhall 763 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 1: dot Com senior writer and lawyer. And Kurt, do you 764 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: think do you think that there's any chance that this 765 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 1: commission actually goes through, that the Senate would allow this. 766 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: I think that we will find forty one people to 767 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 1: block it. I think when Mitch McConnell, who is no 768 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: who was not happy with the president and I'm not 769 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 1: happy what happened on Capitol Hill, I think he understands 770 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: absolutely that this is designed to be the lead news 771 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,240 Speaker 1: item for the next year and a half as opposed 772 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: to the disaster that is the Biden administration. And no 773 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 1: one is more persuasive than the murder turtle. Now, we 774 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,760 Speaker 1: all have as hardcore concervatives, we all have some beats 775 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,240 Speaker 1: with McConnell, that's no secret. But you got to give 776 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: him his due. He is the toughest, most ruthless, most 777 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: effective Senate majority leader, probably of all time. He is 778 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: unbelievably good at his job, and if he doesn't want 779 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: this to happen, it will unhappen. And yet the media 780 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 1: will continue to do their own version of the January 781 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: sixth Commission day after day or fine ways to continue 782 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: to bring this up. And I think it's interesting that 783 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: there's been so little attention paid to the fact that, 784 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, there was the fact that there's a video, 785 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 1: for example, that is out there and the people have 786 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: seen where you have Capitol Hill police saying Okay, if 787 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: you guys are going to be cool, you can come 788 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: into the building now. You know. I can tell you 789 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: that if I were you know, if I were here 790 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 1: in New York City in City Hall and I was 791 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: armed by the stage to protect the building, I would 792 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,439 Speaker 1: not allow an insurrectionist if I really thought that's what's 793 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 1: going on, or just walk in and hang out and 794 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: take selfies. Well, look, I don't think a lot of 795 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: these are going to trial. I think they're trying to 796 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: push it off as long as possible. I think one 797 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: guy's pleading guilty and agreed to give evidence. He should 798 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 1: be the only one that incoming President de Santis or 799 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: whatever woke Republican replaces this desiccatle weirdo who's currently president 800 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 1: when it comes in office and pardons every single one 801 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: of them, not because anything they did was particularly right 802 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:41,720 Speaker 1: or okay, but because of simple fairness. BLM and anti 803 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: FOSS scumbags don't get treated that way. They get their 804 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: charges dismissed. Fair is fair, one set of rules, one 805 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: set of laws. Yeah, there's people who are sitting in 806 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 1: solitary confinement right now and the judges that I refuse 807 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: to give them bail because they were there on January sixth. 808 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: You know, they were riding on January six inside the 809 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: Capitol building. KURTA. I don't know if you've seen this, 810 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: but at least in one case a judges said we 811 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: can't let you out because of the continued threat of insurrection. 812 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: This is this is insane. I mean that is actually 813 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,240 Speaker 1: Soviet level absurdity and and real abuse of state power. 814 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: It really is. And when you have judges who do 815 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: not judge fairly or correctly, that destroyed that. It's not 816 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: only wrong in itself, it destroys the faith in the system. 817 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: And your faith in the system should be teetering on 818 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: the precipice, right Now, the fact is there are two 819 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 1: sets of laws. Buck, There's one set of law for 820 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: people favored by the regime. There is another set of 821 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: law for people like you and me and our listeners. 822 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,879 Speaker 1: That is intolerable. We've tolerated this long because we're not 823 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 1: used to it. This is not normal, and people are 824 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: resistant to accepting it. And you can see that with 825 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: some Republicans. You see them a while ago, no no, no, 826 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: trusts a system, and now they're going, yeah, I've just 827 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: seen a little too much. Now I know there's a 828 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: real problem. People are getting woke, conservative woke to what's 829 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: really happening. And as people pull up to the gas 830 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: pump and pull out their wallets and find their paying 831 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: over five bucks a gallon for gas because President Asterisk 832 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: wants to cater to the weather cultists, they're gonna start thinking, 833 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, Fannise keeps talking about the insurrection, but I'm 834 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: running out of money to feed my family. Who's gonna 835 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: stand up for me. That is the opportunity for us, 836 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 1: That's the opportunity the GOP has. We will see if 837 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: they take a Kurch look at everybodytownhall dot com for 838 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: his latest pieces. Kurt always a pleasure man, talk to 839 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 1: you soon. Thanks. Kamala Harris keeps a list of reporters 840 00:52:54,840 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: who quote don't appreciate her lived experience and doesn't like 841 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: words such as guarded being used to describe her. Oh 842 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: wait a second, you mean Kamala is a really vain 843 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,839 Speaker 1: and petty person. Is this a surprise to anyone? Even 844 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,919 Speaker 1: Democrats recognize in the primary that this is not a 845 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 1: person who is impressive. This is not a person who 846 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: should be in a position of leadership. She does whatever 847 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,760 Speaker 1: she has to do to get ahead. She is conniving 848 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: and ruthless and just happen to be in the right 849 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: place at the right time for this Democrat party to 850 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: get picked as Biden's VP. That is it? So I 851 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,839 Speaker 1: guess I would go on the list of people who 852 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: don't quote fully understand her. Washington Post journalist Chelsea Jaynes, 853 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: according to The Daily Mail Here, is believed to be 854 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: on the list, and she covered a Harris event and 855 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: said that she that her salute was screeching. Harris is 856 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:10,839 Speaker 1: known for being cagey and aloof around reporters. She got 857 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: a new cell phone and old friends reportedly find it 858 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:18,759 Speaker 1: hard to reach her. Yeah, she's trying to, you know, 859 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: take herself away from a lot of folks here, because 860 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: the more you know about Kamala Harris, the less impressed, 861 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: the less that the smoke and mirrors around her can 862 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 1: actually work on you. But you'll also note that Democrats 863 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: don't in any way view this as something that they 864 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: have to show solidarity with this reporter on. No. No, 865 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 1: of course not. They know that their job, the job 866 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:53,319 Speaker 1: of journalists at corporate outlets. We do not use the 867 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 1: term I try very hard not to use the term 868 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: mainstream here anymore, because why I give them that credit. 869 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 1: The job of corp journalists is to do the bidding 870 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party. That is their job. That's what 871 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: they're constantly trying to do. And if that means that 872 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: they have to throw some of their own under the bus, 873 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,799 Speaker 1: so be it. We've got no problem with that. This 874 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: is from this Daily Mail piece. She particularly doesn't like 875 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 1: the word cautious and aids look out for synonyms too careful, guarded, 876 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 1: and hesitant don't go over well. But she continues to 877 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 1: retreat behind talking points and platitudes in public, and declines 878 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 1: many interview requests and opportunities to speak for herself, including 879 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,399 Speaker 1: this article The Dailymail says, at times, she comes off 880 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: as so uninteresting that television producers have started to wonder 881 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: whether spending thousands of dollars to send people on trips 882 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,800 Speaker 1: with her is worthwhile give and how little usable material 883 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: they get out of it. Here you have the vice 884 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:11,240 Speaker 1: president of the United States who is such a mediocrity 885 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 1: and so boring, just so utterly uninteresting, vapid and incapable 886 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:23,799 Speaker 1: of saying anything worthwhile. That people who are clearly on 887 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: her team, that Democrat politicians who will do everything they 888 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: can to assist her. They I'm sorry, Democrat journalists who 889 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 1: do everything that can to assist her. They're like, we 890 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't even bother because this is such a waste of time. 891 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: Which this is a perfect metaphor for the entirety of 892 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:51,400 Speaker 1: the of the Harris vice presidential phenomenon. Boring, not worth 893 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,279 Speaker 1: anyone's time. The whole thing is about optics, and they've 894 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 1: got to protect the optics at all costs. Kamala Harris, 895 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't want you, Kamala Harris 896 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 1: in charge of the leasing office in the building where 897 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: I live. I wouldn't want Kamala Harris in charge of 898 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 1: a preschool. She's the vice president. It's amazing that this 899 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 1: is a situation we're in, but at least people realize 900 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 1: she's really boring. Do you think you have free speech online? No, 901 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: you know you don't. We see what big tech does. 902 00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 1: You also don't have privacy online. They're tracking you all 903 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 1: the time.

So where does this conflict between the IDF 923 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 1: and Hamas go. We've got our friend David if fun 924 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: with us now. He is the editor in chief of 925 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: the Algaminer. David, great to have you back. Great to 926 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: be with you, Buck. So we are seeing the headlines 927 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 1: that the ceasefire de manned from the Biden administration, as 928 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 1: if that's something that they can really do has not 929 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 1: been met as at least as of me speaking to you. Now, 930 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 1: what is going on? Why, why is the conflict continuing? 931 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: What are the Israeli defense forces? And what's net and 932 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 1: Yahoo's government trying to achieve? Well, I think it's simple 933 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 1: to be frank and what Israel is facing and how 934 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: is the responding. It's really no different to how any 935 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: other democracy or a country, frankly would would behave. You know, 936 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 1: you have a terror state the borders the southwestern part 937 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: of Israel that's firing missiles into the country randomly targeting 938 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 1: the civilian population. So Israel is one objective, it's it's 939 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 1: it's it's to get these missiles to stop, and obviously 940 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: to create an effective to terrance to ensure that they 941 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 1: won't restart at any time in the future. So for 942 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the President or anybody to come along and say, well, 943 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: you should really wind this down, it's kind of ridiculous 944 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,680 Speaker 1: because you know, what do you mean you should wind 945 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 1: this down? Do you mean that you should wind it down? 946 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: If the rockets continue being fired, you should not respond. 947 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that's really the height of condescension and insults. 948 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: And of course the Israeli responsibile be you know, thanks, 949 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: but no thanks, President Biden. When it comes to stuff 950 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 1: like this, we really couldn't care less what you have 951 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,800 Speaker 1: to say. You have people like Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat, 952 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 1: saying that he quote couldn't disagree more with the policies 953 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 1: of NET and YAHOO when it comes to the treatment 954 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 1: of Palestinians. I mean, what treatment specifically do our Democrats 955 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: like Durban referring to here. I don't know what he's 956 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 1: referring to specifically, but I can tell you one thing 957 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to UM, what what the Israeli government 958 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: is doing to try and um you know, target missile 959 01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: and terrorist infrastructure in Gaza and still this rocket fire. 960 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 1: This is not you know, some nitniah who government policy. 961 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 1: This is the policy of everybody in Israel, including we 962 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 1: had a piece yesterday. Israelis in the South who are 963 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: under fire don't want this to stop because they understand 964 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 1: that if it does, and if Israel folds to international pressure, 965 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: that's a victory for Hamas. That is encouragement and a 966 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 1: license for Hamas to continue and do this in the future. 967 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: This is not Nita who government policies. This is Israel, 968 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,200 Speaker 1: all of Israel defending itself, and the country's pretty unified 969 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: behind this action. And frankly, whoever the president would be, 970 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 1: whoever the Prime minister would be, of any country, there's 971 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,880 Speaker 1: no other way that you can respond. So, you know, 972 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 1: any suggestion otherwise really is obviously it's ridiculous, it's prejudicial, 973 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: and obviously it's not going to be taken seriously because 974 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, you're saying to Israel that you should behave 975 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: in a way that no other country should behave. You're 976 01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 1: holding Israel to a different standards, and that's that's obviously 977 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 1: a prejudicial approach. David, There's also a line of analysis 978 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: that I keep seeing popping up in different journalistic outlets, 979 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: at least allegedly journalistic outlets, where they're saying this could 980 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 1: save Benjamin net and Yahoo's political career or something along 981 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 1: those lines. Can you can you tell us what the 982 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 1: people who are making that claim, what are they really 983 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 1: getting into? What are they saying because nen Yah, who's 984 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: been under pressure, this will essentially bail him out because 985 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: the country has to galvanize around him. Yeah, I mean, 986 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 1: this is this is a horrible accusation from people who 987 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,959 Speaker 1: think they're very clever but have no clue what they're 988 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 1: talking about. To be frank, um, you know, obviously this 989 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 1: is a war. Um. You know, war is a horrible thing, right, 990 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 1: It's a horrible thing for populations on both sides. You know, 991 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: you have Israelis, including a young Israeli child of five 992 01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:01,760 Speaker 1: years old who was buried by his father in recent days, 993 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 1: and obviously you have deaths on the other side as well. 994 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,439 Speaker 1: I don't believe that it is responsible for the vast 995 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: majority of the civilian deaths, and there's been a great 996 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 1: deal of horrendous misreporting on that front. We can discuss 997 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 1: that in a second. But to say that a leader, 998 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 1: government leader, or you know, would allow this to happen, 999 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, just to sort of further their own political means. 1000 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 1: Is really a libel, a blood libel, because you know, 1001 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,080 Speaker 1: you're you're, you're accusing him a sort of responsibility for 1002 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 1: this kind of cost is the cost in human life, 1003 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, to promote a cynical political agenda. You know, 1004 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: it's unclear at this stage where things are going to go. 1005 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:48,400 Speaker 1: The most likely situate scenario right now is that Israel's 1006 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 1: going to go to elections again regardless of what's happening here. 1007 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 1: But I can say with absolute clarity now that the 1008 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: support for what Israel is doing comes from across the 1009 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: political spect missile, from all the way to the right 1010 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 1: to all the way to the left, including from from 1011 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 1: the Arab parties. So you know, this, this is this 1012 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 1: is a strange, um and completely misguided accusation, and frankly 1013 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 1: it comes from people, um, you know, who think they're 1014 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 1: being clever but really don't understand anything about the region 1015 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 1: or Israeli politics, or at least some geopolitics. We're speaking 1016 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,760 Speaker 1: to David Affoon. He's the editor in chief of the 1017 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Alga Miner. I go to Alga Miner dot com for 1018 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:36,560 Speaker 1: Jewish and Israel news. David is looking like this may 1019 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: just be I mean, assuming that this comes to an 1020 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 1: end here soon imminently, that this might have just been 1021 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 1: even from the perspective of Hamas, which my friend David 1022 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 1: Harsani I think has rightly referred to as a death call, uh, 1023 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,439 Speaker 1: that this was just a miscalculation from their end top 1024 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 1: to bottom. Well, I don't think it was. You know, 1025 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: from Hamas's perspective that there is an objective over here 1026 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:06,080 Speaker 1: and to be frank, that they've been successful in achieving 1027 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 1: that objective. Um. You know, you have a situation under 1028 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 1: the Trump administration where support for Israel was unequivocal, where 1029 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 1: there was an understanding that progress could be achieved in 1030 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:22,960 Speaker 1: the region despite you know, Palestinian rejectionism, and you know, 1031 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 1: with Biden coming to office, there's been a very significant 1032 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 1: walk back from that position, with the renewal of aid 1033 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 1: to the Palestinians, for example, with the renewal of the 1034 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: the the efforts to reach an agreement with Iran, and 1035 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,920 Speaker 1: just you know, really the sort of I mean, they're 1036 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 1: verbally stayed in commitments to the Abraham Accords, but doing 1037 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to reinforce them or push them forward. And 1038 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 1: in fact, you know, it seems with every day they're 1039 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: becoming weakened. And you know that's created an opening. You know, 1040 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 1: Hamas has has seen an opening here to sort of 1041 01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,960 Speaker 1: push themselves back into the center of of foreign foreign 1042 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 1: policy and international agenda. And you know this this is 1043 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 1: how they do it. You know, it's it's a sort 1044 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: of um, you know, the function of a gangster state. 1045 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 1: You know, we see this obviously with with North Korea. UM, 1046 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 1: we see this with with you know, various states that 1047 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 1: that sort of want to shake down the West. Obviously, 1048 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Iran behaves like this all the time. You know, they 1049 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: create damage and then they say to the West, well, 1050 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, here's the cost um, you know, to make 1051 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 1: sure that your windows don't get broken again, you know. Um, 1052 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,960 Speaker 1: so there sees the opportunity here. They've they've taken the 1053 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: pulse of of of of the climate in Washington. UM. 1054 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 1: And there's there's really no coincidence that this is happening 1055 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,920 Speaker 1: now a couple of months into the Biden administration, and 1056 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 1: it seems just by the Biden administration's response, you know, 1057 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:53,520 Speaker 1: they're sending more money and that they're starting to pressure Israel. Um, 1058 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty aggressively. Um that that that the 1059 01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 1: hamass it's getting what they want it out of this. 1060 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 1: You know, they know what they're doing. I know a 1061 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: lot of this, Davit is pushed by those who just 1062 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 1: are looking to take any shot they can at the 1063 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 1: former Trump administration or what was the Trump administration on 1064 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: behalf of the Biden administration. Now, but you've probably seen 1065 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:22,040 Speaker 1: this too, people saying in a smarmy, smug fashion, looks 1066 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 1: like those Abraham Accords didn't do anything, as if the 1067 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 1: Abraham Accords were about Gaza and hamas well. What is 1068 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 1: your response to that, I mean, for people that are 1069 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 1: trying to discount what happened at the end of the 1070 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Trump administration with those peace agreements, those normalization agreements that 1071 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: were signed with other Arab countries in the region in Israel, 1072 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,920 Speaker 1: tell us about the importance of that and what you 1073 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: think of the criticism that's being made now that well, 1074 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 1: because there's a problem with Gaza, there must be an 1075 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:54,000 Speaker 1: issue with the or rather it just nullifies the Abraham Accords. Yeah, 1076 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they've gone it exactly backwards. My good friend 1077 01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: Shanny Moore as a great piece at Newsweek. Um, you know, 1078 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 1: Shanny is a person of the left who advised you know, 1079 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:08,640 Speaker 1: left doing Israeli prime ministers. Brilliant, brilliant fellow. And you 1080 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: know he talks about you know, people you know under 1081 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: Jared Kushner when sort of he had this brief it 1082 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,479 Speaker 1: was he he was the butt of all jokes, you 1083 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 1: know in polite Washington, the idea that you know, this 1084 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: novice could come with with his fresh set of ideas 1085 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 1: and make any changes. But the truth is, you know, 1086 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 1: the team there and you know I'm not speaking to 1087 01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,600 Speaker 1: the chi the wider political question. More was achieved in 1088 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 1: terms of Middle East progress under you know, the four 1089 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,360 Speaker 1: years of his tenure than probably you know, decades and 1090 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 1: decades before that. Now you have supposedly the the adults 1091 01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: back in charge, and you know, a couple of months 1092 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 1: into it, the region is in flames again. Nobody is 1093 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,719 Speaker 1: learning the lessons, you know, very hard to concrete lessons, which, 1094 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,679 Speaker 1: by the way, if you talk to the Israelis, they'll 1095 01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 1: tell you that this is just not how it works 1096 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: over there. The previous administration had a far better understanding 1097 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 1: UM and policies that were effective. Now this business are saying, well, um, 1098 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:15,439 Speaker 1: you know they they the three months in Um things 1099 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,640 Speaker 1: are going to hell. And it must be because of 1100 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 1: the previous administration. Well, why didn't this happen when Trump 1101 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,679 Speaker 1: moved the embassy? Why didn't this happen when he withdrew 1102 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,919 Speaker 1: funding from from the Palestine. And the reason is because 1103 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 1: they you know, the region responds to strengths um in 1104 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,120 Speaker 1: a way that is, you know, more balanced, and and 1105 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 1: and and the belligerent actors checked themselves. Um, and it 1106 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,320 Speaker 1: responds to weakness in exactly the opposite fashion. You know, 1107 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 1: where it sees those opportunities, Um, they'll they'll they'll jump 1108 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 1: at it, and they they they use um, you know, 1109 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 1: they'll use actors like Hamas and the Iranians and as 1110 01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:00,200 Speaker 1: Baala and Islamic Jihad use violence as a two will 1111 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: for leverage when they sense that they'll get someone with it. 1112 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 1: Obviously they knew that under the Trump administration there was 1113 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 1: no chance of that. Now they're seeing an opening under 1114 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Dovit afun go to the Algaminer dot net. 1115 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 1: Dobbot and his team are doing great work there for 1116 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 1: Jewish and israel News. Algaminer dot com. Dovitt thanks so 1117 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 1: much great to be with you, but so many losers 1118 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,000 Speaker 1: when you look at Democrats in Congress. I mean, these 1119 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: guys in particularly we're about to talk about are just losers. 1120 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 1: You got a Swallwell, the spy who shagged me, and 1121 01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 1: you got this other guy, Tim Ryan, who honestly, the 1122 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,880 Speaker 1: fact that anyone cast a vote for this clown makes 1123 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 1: me fear for the future of this country. Enough humanity. 1124 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 1: He's a charmless, brainless blob of platitudes and talking points. 1125 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,920 Speaker 1: That's what Tim Ryan is. But just in the way 1126 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,320 Speaker 1: they think that they can they can lecture Americans about 1127 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: the January sixth Commission and how they're really just concerned 1128 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,560 Speaker 1: here with protecting or protecting or sacred democracy. That's what 1129 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,760 Speaker 1: this is really about. Here's Swallowell taking a break from 1130 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,800 Speaker 1: Chinese spies for a moment. Play three. A Republican told 1131 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,120 Speaker 1: me last week at the house, Jim, He said, when 1132 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: did you guys become you know, the party that stands 1133 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: up for cops? Joy, and I think you are seeing 1134 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,919 Speaker 1: that this is a choice between our constitution and chaos, 1135 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 1: and Republicans are standing with chaos. They're the Chaos party, 1136 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,840 Speaker 1: and we are the ones who are backing the officers 1137 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,960 Speaker 1: who put their lives on the line for us, who 1138 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 1: are in hand to hand combat for hours that day, 1139 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: who don't give a rip about politics, but want to 1140 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:55,360 Speaker 1: make sure that their sacrifice has mattered. Three officers died, 1141 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,719 Speaker 1: including the officer you just referenced, One lost an eye 1142 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 1: and another lost multiple fingers. They deserve to have a 1143 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: commission that looks at what happens, what happened that day, 1144 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: and to ensure that no officer and no democracy ever 1145 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 1: whether something like that again, it Swallowells is a vile 1146 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 1: little turd. But notice he says that three officers died. 1147 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 1: None of those officers were killed by protesters. Based on 1148 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,240 Speaker 1: everything that we know as of today, that didn't happen. 1149 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: So the fact that officers had heart attacks or strokes 1150 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:34,000 Speaker 1: in the days after this event, that's that's not a murderer, 1151 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,679 Speaker 1: and they won't be able to claim it's a murder, 1152 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: and if they did, they'd end up being laughed out 1153 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 1: of court. I think I would assume it will, although 1154 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 1: we live in a crazy world a lot of bad 1155 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 1: judges these days. But notice that this is the only 1156 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 1: time Democrats seem to really respect and back the cops. 1157 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 1: What do they think it's like to be a member 1158 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:59,720 Speaker 1: of law enforcement and have Antifa throwing bricks at your 1159 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:05,400 Speaker 1: face and bottles of urine at you, Because that happens constantly. 1160 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:09,719 Speaker 1: It happened last year hundreds thousands of times two officers 1161 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:15,560 Speaker 1: across the country. Officers were temporarily blinded by lasers intentionally 1162 01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 1: shine in their eyes. I'll tell you this. If somebody said, Hey, 1163 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm shooting a laser in your eyes and I'm gonna 1164 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: blind you with it, I would use lethal force against 1165 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 1: that person and not think twice about it if I 1166 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 1: really thought they could blind me. I'm not going blind 1167 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,759 Speaker 1: because some psycho Biden voter has a laser in his hands. 1168 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,600 Speaker 1: Not happening. If somebody said they're gonna throw bleach in 1169 01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 1: your eyes and try to blind you, and you at 1170 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,519 Speaker 1: a fire m aren't you would you use it? I would? 1171 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 1: But those cops, those federal officers, none of that matters 1172 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 1: to Democrats because those are Biden voters. We see the huge, 1173 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:52,759 Speaker 1: disgusting double standard here. And then there's Tim Ryan, another 1174 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 1: one screaming about this. He's a moron. Play nine. I 1175 01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,600 Speaker 1: want to thank the gentlemen from New York and the 1176 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 1: other Republicans who are porting this and thank them for 1177 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: their bipartisanship to the other ninety percent of our friends 1178 01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 1: on the other side of the aisle, Holy cow, incoherence, 1179 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about, Ben Gods and you 1180 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,440 Speaker 1: guys chase the former secretary of State all over the country, 1181 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,599 Speaker 1: which spend millions of dollars. We have people scaling the capital, 1182 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,000 Speaker 1: hitting the capitol. Police would lead pipes across the head. 1183 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:28,360 Speaker 1: And we can't get bipartisanship. What else has to happen 1184 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 1: in this country? Cops, This is a slap in the 1185 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,679 Speaker 1: face to every rank and file cop. Then the United States, 1186 01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 1: if we're gonna take on China, if we're going to 1187 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 1: rebuild the country, if we're going to reverse climate change, 1188 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,639 Speaker 1: we need two political parties in this country that are 1189 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 1: both living in reality, and you ain't one of them. 1190 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:53,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna reverse quarter change. This guy ran for president. 1191 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:59,120 Speaker 1: Give your sends out delusionally he was Ohio. You guys 1192 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,880 Speaker 1: voted or not listening to the show, but Ohio's voted 1193 01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: for this guy. It's embarrassing, really, is that I would 1194 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,040 Speaker 1: be embarrassed to tell anybody that I voted for this 1195 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 1: total jerk. But this is who makes the most noise 1196 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 1: in the Democrats side about the January sixth Commission clowns 1197 01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:23,639 Speaker 1: Shawshank for January six detainees. The government argues the events 1198 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 1: of January six along with the defendant skepticism about the 1199 01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,720 Speaker 1: outcome of a twenty twenty election, are evidence the accused 1200 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,400 Speaker 1: are a threat to society. That's the piece in American 1201 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:38,400 Speaker 1: Greatness by Julie Kelly. We have our colleague, a senior 1202 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,160 Speaker 1: writer at American Greatness, Pedro Gonzalez, with us now to 1203 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,280 Speaker 1: discuss this issue a bit and what's talked about in 1204 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 1: this article. Pedro, great to have you back, Hey, thanks 1205 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 1: for having so. From what I understand, and I've checked 1206 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 1: this in a few different places, now you have a 1207 01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:56,880 Speaker 1: number of individuals from the riot on January sixth who 1208 01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 1: are being held in solitary confine no bail and as 1209 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: part of the judges who have have denied them bail 1210 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, which you do usually as somebody is a 1211 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,519 Speaker 1: threat to society or or a flight risk. These people 1212 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,599 Speaker 1: are neither in any reasonable A lot of them actually 1213 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 1: have no previous criminal record whatsoever. And I understand that 1214 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,240 Speaker 1: these are people who very likely broke the law that 1215 01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:27,679 Speaker 1: day with either assault on a police officer, destruction or property. 1216 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,120 Speaker 1: But they're holding them in solitary confinement. The judges are 1217 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,480 Speaker 1: holding them under the premise that they are a continued 1218 01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 1: threat of insurrection because they don't accept the January. They 1219 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:42,920 Speaker 1: don't accept rather the twenty twenty election results. I mean, pedro. 1220 01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 1: That sounds like political prisoner stuff, right, and all I 1221 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 1: can think about as we're discussing this is the fact that, 1222 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 1: if you will call on not long ago, we had 1223 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 1: some riots and looting, an anarchy that rose to the 1224 01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,680 Speaker 1: level of what some people would call an instruction. When 1225 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,679 Speaker 1: you have mass movements across the country who are saying 1226 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:07,080 Speaker 1: that the political system, the entire public sphere itself is 1227 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: racist and evil and needs to go. That was the 1228 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 1: thrust of the Black Lives Matter riots, and the people 1229 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 1: that were involved in riding often cases or oftentimes were 1230 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: actually just let loose. If you recall, there was a 1231 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 1: police commissioner or a former commissioner who speaking to Fox 1232 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 1: News I think, said that virtually every single person who 1233 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 1: is arrested in New York or riding would get a 1234 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 1: slap on the wrist and be out in no time, 1235 01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 1: in part because they had eliminated cash bail and just 1236 01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,920 Speaker 1: because this is how this is how the system works 1237 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,800 Speaker 1: down this is how political machines in parts of the 1238 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 1: country work. If it doesn't actually matter if you're an 1239 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,920 Speaker 1: insurrectionist as much as it matters whose team you're on. 1240 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,519 Speaker 1: And unfortunately for the people that shuffled into the Capitol 1241 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,800 Speaker 1: Building on January sixth, and it seems like they did 1242 01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,680 Speaker 1: so with the approval of Capital po last department. By 1243 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,759 Speaker 1: the way, Julie Kelly is also recently a team footage 1244 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 1: that shows Capitol police calmly talking to Trump supporters and saying, 1245 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to stop you. Franchi being the building, 1246 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 1: just you know, remain peaceful. Well, their problem wasn't that 1247 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 1: their insurrectionists so much as they were on the wrong team. 1248 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 1: This is very distressing. I mean, in a country where 1249 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,760 Speaker 1: we've seen that, we saw the weaponization of the deep 1250 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: state within the DOJ and the intelligence community against a 1251 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 1: duly elected Republican president for four years from twenty sixteen 1252 01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,200 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, really before that actually from twenty from 1253 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,920 Speaker 1: a well, from the early stages of twenty sixteen into 1254 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,639 Speaker 1: the end of the Trump presidency. And we had no 1255 01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 1: real consequences. I mean the Durham probe. Remember that, Remember 1256 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 1: the Durham investigation. We were being told though, you know, 1257 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,439 Speaker 1: just wait, set your watch any moment now, big justice 1258 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 1: coming from the federal prosecutor Durham up in Connecticut, the 1259 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,960 Speaker 1: US Attorney up in Connecticut that that led to. We've 1260 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,639 Speaker 1: seen nothing from it so far, not even not a thing. 1261 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,280 Speaker 1: And yet on the other side of this, you have 1262 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,680 Speaker 1: people who are being held in solitary confinement treated like 1263 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 1: they are a clear and present danger with regard to 1264 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:15,680 Speaker 1: the overthrow of the United States government because they I mean, 1265 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: the worst crimes that are actually accused of pedro They 1266 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 1: did not kill anyone, They did not use a deadly 1267 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,200 Speaker 1: force against anyone. The worst crime is, as I understand it, 1268 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: that the people that are being held in attention from 1269 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 1: January six are accused of, is assault on a police officer, 1270 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,599 Speaker 1: which is a crime, and they should be punished for that. 1271 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 1: And I'm very clear and habit very clear about that. 1272 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: But assault on police officers occurred so routinely that it's 1273 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 1: hard to even keep track of it in Portland, in 1274 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: New York, in Chicago, in Atlanta. For months during the 1275 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,600 Speaker 1: BLM riots, and no one's being held you know, no 1276 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:53,479 Speaker 1: one's being held in solitary confinement for this. Right again, 1277 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,799 Speaker 1: it doesn't The issue is not assaulting a police officer, 1278 01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 1: it's why you assault in that what political colors you're 1279 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:03,760 Speaker 1: we That's the reality that we live in today. I 1280 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 1: think that there is a really pernicious argument or narrative 1281 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 1: in the mainstream that things like the deep state, this 1282 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:16,799 Speaker 1: is a conspiracy. It's not. I mean, the deep state's 1283 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,360 Speaker 1: kind of a it's it's it's an interesting term that 1284 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:23,240 Speaker 1: I think kind of mystifies what we're really discussing. And 1285 01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:27,000 Speaker 1: really we're just talking about a gigantic political machine that 1286 01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,920 Speaker 1: tends to favor or one party has more control than 1287 01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,599 Speaker 1: the other. That's really all it is. I think there's 1288 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of other elements to this, but that's 1289 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 1: that's really what we're talking about when we talk about 1290 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 1: some like the deep state. It's what the Democratic Party 1291 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:46,880 Speaker 1: has successfully aligned itself with a lot of the bureaucratic, corporate, 1292 01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,920 Speaker 1: and governmental levels of power, and they've got their hands 1293 01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,200 Speaker 1: on them, and they're just willing and able to pull 1294 01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: them a lot harder on their enemies. That that's really 1295 01:20:55,400 --> 01:21:00,439 Speaker 1: what this boils down to. I think that this you 1296 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:03,560 Speaker 1: see how persistent this, this kind of this dismissal of 1297 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 1: our position is when you consider that CNN and The 1298 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:08,960 Speaker 1: New York Times have you even admitted that the only 1299 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 1: homicide case around January sixth has collapsed officers Signic. The 1300 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: New York Times was forced to issue an attraction a retraction, 1301 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,720 Speaker 1: and CNN admitted that the prosecutors are having a really 1302 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: hard time making the Signic death into a homicide because 1303 01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,760 Speaker 1: it's not. And then again, you have more and more 1304 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,280 Speaker 1: evidence of Capitol police officers who allowed this to happen. 1305 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 1: It's strange to frame it as an insurrection when the 1306 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,320 Speaker 1: people who are supposed to stop it from being, who 1307 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 1: are supposed to stop the instruction, did not themselves see 1308 01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:39,960 Speaker 1: it as an insurrection. But again, all of these points 1309 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:44,679 Speaker 1: are being dismissed. They're misleading. It's misinformation. Maybe the Russians 1310 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 1: are making us say these things, Buck, Maybe I'm taking 1311 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 1: money from Putin to be on your radio show. I'm 1312 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,360 Speaker 1: just kidding, not but that. But that's how actually absurd 1313 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 1: and just out of this world. The narrative is that 1314 01:21:56,080 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 1: everything we say is somehow alive and Again, we're quick 1315 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:01,840 Speaker 1: to call it a double standard, but I think it's 1316 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: more of like a hierarchy. They're just reminding you they're 1317 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 1: in charge and they actually get to be the ones 1318 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,479 Speaker 1: who decide what is not true. Yeah, this is a 1319 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:13,800 Speaker 1: critical point. By the way that the Republicans conservatives talk 1320 01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 1: of double standards is fine. It does nothing because the 1321 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 1: other side is happy that they're in a position to 1322 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 1: enforce those double standards. They don't feel guilty about it. 1323 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,520 Speaker 1: They don't feel like, oh, you're right, we're being unprincipled. 1324 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll stop. It's what are you gonna do about it? 1325 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 1: And that's what conservatives need to understand is these are 1326 01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:35,519 Speaker 1: the rules of the game. Now. This is a big 1327 01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,599 Speaker 1: change from from our perception of even a few years ago. 1328 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Pedro Gonzalez, who is a senior writer 1329 01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 1: at American Greatness and related to that point, Pedro, there's 1330 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,559 Speaker 1: been look a lot of focus on Liz Cheney recently 1331 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,280 Speaker 1: and the leadership battles within the leadership battle within the 1332 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,439 Speaker 1: Republican Party, in part because they just want to show 1333 01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:58,240 Speaker 1: dissent in the ranks of the GOP. Also because Liz 1334 01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Cheney is really a mouth piece for the hyperventilating. Oh, 1335 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 1: it's an insurrection point of view on all of this, 1336 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,680 Speaker 1: and so that's just Democrats love that stuff. I mean, 1337 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 1: that is Scooby Snacks for Democrats. I mean, they can't 1338 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 1: get enough of it. But do you think that now 1339 01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,720 Speaker 1: that she has been at least somewhat reputated by some 1340 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,880 Speaker 1: of her colleagues, are we in the process of seeing 1341 01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 1: a GOP come together with a message that they're willing 1342 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 1: to fight because it doesn't They talk a lot about 1343 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,800 Speaker 1: stopping socialism and I think people you know well who 1344 01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,160 Speaker 1: there's from, Mitch McConnell, others, people's eyes roll back in 1345 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,000 Speaker 1: their heads, like what does that even really mean? Digging 1346 01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:42,040 Speaker 1: in on these issues like wokeness, like indoctrination in the military, 1347 01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: indoctrination in schools, and trying to win power to change 1348 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:50,040 Speaker 1: things and use power to change things. Are we moving 1349 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,760 Speaker 1: in that direction or is that too optimistic? I think 1350 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 1: it's too optimistic, And I don't mean to say that 1351 01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be optimistic about the I am. Actually I 1352 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 1: think ultimately win in the long run, but I think 1353 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 1: it's important to remain extremely realistic in the short term 1354 01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 1: and to look at what's happening with clear eyes in 1355 01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,040 Speaker 1: front of us. And I think the removal of Cheney 1356 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 1: is a good thing. I think, except there's the issue 1357 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: of Stephonic who's not actually better than Cheney. In some cases, 1358 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,200 Speaker 1: she's actually much worse. She voted less consistently, which Trump 1359 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,040 Speaker 1: and Cheney did. But I think maybe as a symbolic victory, 1360 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:31,200 Speaker 1: Cheney's outstair is more. It provides the base with some 1361 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,240 Speaker 1: morale right, which they need. But on the other hand, 1362 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 1: we should not interpret this as the GOP going in 1363 01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:42,679 Speaker 1: a fundamentally different direction. And the narratives around banning critical race, 1364 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:47,800 Speaker 1: around the problems with cultural Marxism and institutions like the military, 1365 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,920 Speaker 1: and and or even around the election itself, around the 1366 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, I think it's important to understand the 1367 01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 1: GOP is not The GOP is not above at all 1368 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: all using these really hot button issues to basically just 1369 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 1: rile you up, get your attention, get your money, and 1370 01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,160 Speaker 1: get your votes so that you'll put them back in power. 1371 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 1: And what do they do when their back in power. 1372 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 1: They suddenly stopped being culture warriors. They drop all of 1373 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,960 Speaker 1: these important issues and revert back to well, hold on, 1374 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 1: we can't use antitrust action against Google. That's crazy, That's 1375 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:28,639 Speaker 1: that's socialism. You know, it doesn't matter. Sure Google spying 1376 01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,759 Speaker 1: on you. Amazon is putting their boot around your throat 1377 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 1: and profiting from the destruction of small businesses and all that. 1378 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: But look, let's let's not get carried away here. Let's 1379 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,439 Speaker 1: let's compromise silicone value. And it's the same thing with 1380 01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:45,840 Speaker 1: critical race theory. They're passing legislation in places like Tennessee. 1381 01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,880 Speaker 1: But I think that this is this is the bigger 1382 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 1: picture that people on the right and you think about 1383 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 1: the issue of critical race theory goes beyond mere legislation. 1384 01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 1: The basic narrative of critical race theory that America is 1385 01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:01,600 Speaker 1: fundamentally bad and evil. It pervades every tissue in the 1386 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,000 Speaker 1: United States, social, cultural, even religious like this is everywhere 1387 01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,559 Speaker 1: around us. And even in Tennessee, where they passed laws 1388 01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 1: against this, schools are ignoring the laws, and how do 1389 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,000 Speaker 1: you enforce this? So I guess the issue is, is 1390 01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:16,880 Speaker 1: it on the one hand, we should encourage the GOP 1391 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:22,000 Speaker 1: to change, but we should not interpret these kind of 1392 01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 1: slight changes as indicative of a broader fundamental change, because 1393 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,559 Speaker 1: if we do that we're going to sit back, hold 1394 01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,559 Speaker 1: our arms and start costing the plan again. How has 1395 01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 1: that worked out for us? Not? Well? Yeah, trust trust 1396 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,479 Speaker 1: the plan is something that people always said about things 1397 01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,960 Speaker 1: in recent years, when there was no plan and bad 1398 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 1: things follows. That's been very clear to me. Whenever I 1399 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:47,639 Speaker 1: was hearing people say trust the plan, there was no plan. 1400 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 1: This is about a whole range of issues. You'd say, oh, 1401 01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,120 Speaker 1: this is related to the Trump four D chess. No, 1402 01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,719 Speaker 1: there was no four D or eight D chess or whatever. 1403 01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:59,559 Speaker 1: That that was not reality. So I do think it's 1404 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,719 Speaker 1: importably of reality and part of that pedro to try 1405 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 1: to come back and to combat what the left is doing. 1406 01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 1: I think it has to be a recognition that not 1407 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,480 Speaker 1: only do they have control of the system, they understand 1408 01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: some of these mechanisms and systems better and are more 1409 01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,760 Speaker 1: devoted to using them to their ends, such that even when, 1410 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,200 Speaker 1: for example, Trump was in the White House, one thing 1411 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 1: that I know from some of his top advisors that 1412 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,800 Speaker 1: I've talked to that frustrated him was that there were 1413 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 1: agencies of the federal government where they would just say, no, 1414 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 1: we're just not going to do that. Take us to court. 1415 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 1: You know, we're going to say that this is a 1416 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:35,719 Speaker 1: violation of what's there was a bureaucratic they kept bringing 1417 01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 1: this up. It's essentially you know, moving too quickly without 1418 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 1: proper authorization or notification or something it was, and they 1419 01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,720 Speaker 1: took they actually would take this to court sometimes that 1420 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,479 Speaker 1: the system sometimes will have people who shut down even 1421 01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 1: when we're in charge and won't do what they're told. Right. Yeah, 1422 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,720 Speaker 1: And I think this is actually why the position of 1423 01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 1: the GOP and the Conservative movement of course not talking 1424 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,600 Speaker 1: about everyday people because I think every people have to 1425 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 1: have a good sense of things, unlike their elected officials. Uh. 1426 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 1: And what do you hear from the GP GOP Basically 1427 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 1: we want to get back to a position of civility. 1428 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,000 Speaker 1: We want to get back to a neutral ground where 1429 01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:12,600 Speaker 1: we just get along on both sides. Grew to a 1430 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: play by the rules. That is a pipe dream. It's 1431 01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:19,439 Speaker 1: never going to happen. And even with and again I'm 1432 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:24,040 Speaker 1: not criticizing Republican voters, I'm criticizing their elected officials who 1433 01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,719 Speaker 1: tell them that kind of are giving them an opinion 1434 01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,559 Speaker 1: instead of listening to them. And so what you're hearing 1435 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:33,880 Speaker 1: from elected officials is that basically there's a deep state 1436 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 1: and there's a swamp and it's all right against us, 1437 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 1: and we need your money to fight it. But also 1438 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 1: if we work through the system, we can we can 1439 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,720 Speaker 1: overturn the election of twenty twenty. Like you have to 1440 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,439 Speaker 1: recognize the problem here. How are you going to overturn 1441 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,280 Speaker 1: the election if at the same time you're claiming that 1442 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,680 Speaker 1: that the deep state is a raid against you and 1443 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,519 Speaker 1: also you're the way that you want to do this 1444 01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 1: is by fighting by kind of Queensbury rules. You see, 1445 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 1: Like the problem here, it's like there's this huge task 1446 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 1: in front of us. Democrats are cheating, there's a deep 1447 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 1: state in front of us. But also if you just 1448 01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:08,920 Speaker 1: keep voting for us and give us your money, we 1449 01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 1: will take a principal stand against all of us. Like 1450 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:15,719 Speaker 1: you have to see that there's this violent contradiction. Yeah, 1451 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:17,640 Speaker 1: and all of these different things. This is like what 1452 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 1: Chenney offers you, which is a built in loserism with 1453 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 1: lofty promises of the future. That's what we have to avoid, 1454 01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 1: I think, at all costs. And we'll continue to talk 1455 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,160 Speaker 1: about it here.

Thanks, my friends, 1457 01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 1: I've made the decision to oppose the House Democrats slanted 1458 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: an unbalanced proposal for another commission to study the events 1459 01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 1: of January the sixth, because everybody surely knows I repeatedly 1460 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: made my views about the events of January the six 1461 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 1: very clear. I spoke clearly and left no doubt about 1462 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,160 Speaker 1: my conclusions. Federal law enforcement made at least four hundred 1463 01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:03,920 Speaker 1: and forty five arrest and counting relating to crimes committed 1464 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:10,479 Speaker 1: that day. Hundreds of those people have in charge law enforcement. 1465 01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 1: Investigations are ongoing, and federal authorities say they expect to 1466 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:17,960 Speaker 1: arrest at least one hundred or so. More. Action is 1467 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 1: being taken. Accountability is happening for those who broke the law. 1468 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:26,800 Speaker 1: And we already had an impeachment on this. Why would 1469 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,720 Speaker 1: we have a commission if we already had impeachment? Right, So, 1470 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 1: what was the point of the impeachment if now we're 1471 01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,200 Speaker 1: going to have a commission In addition to the hearings 1472 01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,840 Speaker 1: that Congress had to rush through a second impeachment in 1473 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,640 Speaker 1: one year. These people are nuts. These people are nuts. 1474 01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:46,600 Speaker 1: There's no fairness, there's no fair play, there's no we 1475 01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, we want to do this the right way. No, 1476 01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:55,800 Speaker 1: what can they get away with? That's what this is 1477 01:30:55,840 --> 01:31:01,320 Speaker 1: all about. That's the desire here right, what helps their power? 1478 01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 1: That's it. Fair play is laughable to Democrats. I've written 1479 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,200 Speaker 1: about this on bucksexton dot com today. By the way, 1480 01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:14,240 Speaker 1: go check it out about the January sixth Commission. I 1481 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:15,720 Speaker 1: wrote an op ed today on it because that's just 1482 01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,759 Speaker 1: I got so I'm so fed up with the nonsense 1483 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,320 Speaker 1: what the Democrats are saying with all this. I mean, 1484 01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:24,760 Speaker 1: here's where is he Schumer is talking about this too. 1485 01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,719 Speaker 1: The biggest attack, oh, the worst thing since the Civil 1486 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:32,520 Speaker 1: War four What the Republicans are doing the House Republicans 1487 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,799 Speaker 1: is beyond crazy to be so far under the thumb 1488 01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:42,240 Speaker 1: of Donald J. Trump, letting the most dishonest president in 1489 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:46,280 Speaker 1: American history dictate the prerogatives of the Republican Party will 1490 01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:51,760 Speaker 1: be its demise, mark my words. Whatever that means for Democrats, 1491 01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 1: it's bad for America. We know, we all know there 1492 01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:57,559 Speaker 1: needs to be a thorough and honest accounting of what 1493 01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:02,240 Speaker 1: took place on January sixth, greatest attempted insurrection since the 1494 01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:08,080 Speaker 1: Civil War. This is the get Democrats reelected or elected 1495 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two commission. That's what it really is. 1496 01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 1: And anybody who pays attention to American politics and has 1497 01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 1: a keen eye can see it, including Schumer, he knows. 1498 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 1: They all know. The same way that they convinced half 1499 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 1: the country that Donald Trump was almost personally responsible for COVID, 1500 01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 1: that he was denying the science and all this other idiocy. 1501 01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:34,800 Speaker 1: But it was effective costom reelection. They're now hoping while 1502 01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 1: they have that utter buffoon Biden running around, that they 1503 01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,360 Speaker 1: can get away with the same situation here, the same 1504 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:49,519 Speaker 1: circumstance here where they just lie about something. They just 1505 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:53,880 Speaker 1: lie about it, and then we won't ignore rather rather 1506 01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 1: than we will ignore that the person that they have 1507 01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:58,679 Speaker 1: was the president of the United States is an idiot. 1508 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:05,360 Speaker 1: That's that's the plan. Create a narrative of fundamental chaos 1509 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:10,080 Speaker 1: and threat to the Republic from the Republicans, and don't 1510 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, don't pay any attention to the fact that 1511 01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,400 Speaker 1: people you're gonna put in charge our morons like Biden. 1512 01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 1: That's the game plan. Unfortunately it works. Sometimes the show 1513 01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 1: ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call Facebook 1514 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:36,160 Speaker 1: dot com.

Yet I want to note that when 1537 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,000 Speaker 1: Reagan told this joke, he was seventy seven. There were 1538 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:53,919 Speaker 1: the media was constantly saying that Reagan was senile Biden's 1539 01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:57,080 Speaker 1: a year older at the start of his presidency. Right now, 1540 01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,719 Speaker 1: seventy eight, then Reagan was when he was telling this joke. 1541 01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:04,360 Speaker 1: And I want you to just hear Reagan's version of 1542 01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 1: the joke, Biden's version of the joke. It really is 1543 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:11,639 Speaker 1: a metaphor for these two commanders in chief play one. 1544 01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,080 Speaker 1: My Coastguard aids have been excellent.

RC 1579 01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:43,040 Speaker 1: Cole is still around too, but not exactly widespread. As 1580 01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:45,439 Speaker 1: for what this category of beverage is called, most people 1581 01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:47,640 Speaker 1: I know and have dealt with in the Southeast call 1582 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:51,040 Speaker 1: all of them coke, not to be confused with Coca Cola. 1583 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 1: A normal beverage conversation would be, can you grab me 1584 01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:59,439 Speaker 1: a coke? Sure? What kind? Doctor pepper? This is apparently 1585 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:02,639 Speaker 1: in fury eating to both the pop and soda teams. 1586 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,759 Speaker 1: Always fun to hear the odd discussions outside of politics, 1587 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:08,360 Speaker 1: She'll side, have you ever heard this, producer Mark, that 1588 01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,800 Speaker 1: people just refer to all soda as coke? I think 1589 01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:13,560 Speaker 1: this is propaganda from big Coca Cola. I feel like 1590 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 1: that's a Georgia thing, if I had to guess, because 1591 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:19,840 Speaker 1: that's where coke originates from. And I know, like it's 1592 01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,240 Speaker 1: like blasphemy to drink a pepsi in Georgia. Yet I 1593 01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,360 Speaker 1: went to a hotel in Georgia once and they only 1594 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:28,320 Speaker 1: serve pepsi. Have you ever done a blind taste test 1595 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,040 Speaker 1: yourself to see if you could tell the difference you, 1596 01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:31,760 Speaker 1: I don't even it doesn't need to be blind. I 1597 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:36,639 Speaker 1: can tell the difference. Really. Yeah. I haven't at soda 1598 01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:38,920 Speaker 1: in so long I've I have no idea. I mean, 1599 01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:41,439 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm a regular drinker of either regular 1600 01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 1: coke or regular pepsi, but I still know the taste. Yeah. 1601 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:46,760 Speaker 1: Also not true. And people say that if you put 1602 01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:51,040 Speaker 1: a rusty nail in a coke, it does not make 1603 01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,760 Speaker 1: it disappear. If there's all these wives tales about this thought. 1604 01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,360 Speaker 1: It is true if you put a mentos and a 1605 01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:59,639 Speaker 1: diet coke that it will explode. Really, you've never seen 1606 01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:02,200 Speaker 1: that on mine? No? Yeah, if you drop a meno, 1607 01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:03,680 Speaker 1: I think in a regular coke too, But I know 1608 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:05,760 Speaker 1: for sure a diet coke because you drop amentos and 1609 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 1: to like a two leader bottle or any bottle, it'll 1610 01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:12,000 Speaker 1: just explode everywhere. It's actually quite funny to watch, you, 1611 01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:14,240 Speaker 1: don't I do. I think that and I do not 1612 01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:16,760 Speaker 1: encourage this because it is cruelty to animals, but I 1613 01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:18,919 Speaker 1: think it is true that if you feed alka seltzer 1614 01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:23,760 Speaker 1: to um seagulls, they will like basically implode it. Don't 1615 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,560 Speaker 1: do that, don't I'm not I'm saying, don't do that, 1616 01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 1: but pep. This is like a thing alkas because they 1617 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 1: can't burp and so it's like the gas just builds up. 1618 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,120 Speaker 1: It they don't actually explode, but they just die. It's mean, 1619 01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,439 Speaker 1: it's like you're poisoning them. So I'm just I've been 1620 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,800 Speaker 1: thinking of wives tales or real things. I think that's 1621 01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 1: a that's a real thing. Turns out that's real. Um. 1622 01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:44,720 Speaker 1: I will say one safety tip for everybody out there, 1623 01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,760 Speaker 1: because I saw a lot of this in Austin where 1624 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,400 Speaker 1: people had dogs that they were going on long jogs 1625 01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:52,720 Speaker 1: with along with them on a hot day. Dogs do 1626 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,320 Speaker 1: not have sweat glands. Dogs can only exhale heat through 1627 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:59,680 Speaker 1: their mouths, which means that it's actually very difficult for 1628 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:04,600 Speaker 1: them to properly regulate body temperature while they're exerting themselves 1629 01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:08,360 Speaker 1: in high heat. So please public safety tip here. Make 1630 01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:11,320 Speaker 1: sure that you don't let your dog run when it 1631 01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:14,680 Speaker 1: wants to run. Don't make your dog run alongside you 1632 01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:18,240 Speaker 1: in really hot weather. They can overheat and that can 1633 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 1: be that can be disastrous. So just a little no 1634 01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,000 Speaker 1: doubt there. I saw people in Austin, in particularly when 1635 01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:25,720 Speaker 1: I was there, it was a hot day, and they're 1636 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:29,320 Speaker 1: all doing these long jogs with dogs that, first of all, 1637 01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,639 Speaker 1: or not even what I would consider to be distance 1638 01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:33,600 Speaker 1: runner dogs to start with. And second of all, I 1639 01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,439 Speaker 1: was like, this is bad. You shouldn't do that. There 1640 01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:38,680 Speaker 1: were signs up that's also I thought it. There were 1641 01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:40,720 Speaker 1: signs in Austin saying please be careful with your dog 1642 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:43,599 Speaker 1: running because I think people overheat their dogs. A dog 1643 01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:45,840 Speaker 1: is not a six mile run partner. A dog isn't 1644 01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:47,360 Speaker 1: even really you know, you don't want them running a 1645 01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,720 Speaker 1: mile in heat. You want your dog to let them 1646 01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,160 Speaker 1: run around the yard, in the field, whatever when they want, 1647 01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:55,559 Speaker 1: and then make sure they have shade and cool water, 1648 01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,640 Speaker 1: because it's much harder for them than for humans to 1649 01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 1: regulate body amperature and to handle that. Josh, hey buck, 1650 01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm trying to represent the freedom Hut here. It's pretty 1651 01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,000 Speaker 1: hard being surrounded by a bunch of libs. I'm usually 1652 01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 1: the only one unmasked. Everywhere I go, I make them 1653 01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,519 Speaker 1: ask me to put it on. Just the other day, 1654 01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,599 Speaker 1: I made a local store explain why that is, considering 1655 01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:21,599 Speaker 1: the new CDC recommendation. I stay peaceful and obey their requests, 1656 01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,599 Speaker 1: but they have what I want to buy. One last thing. 1657 01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,559 Speaker 1: The other day, I was unmasked and decided to wear 1658 01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,320 Speaker 1: my red Maga hat to pick up my kid from school. 1659 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:33,960 Speaker 1: The looks were hilarious. I'm not looking for trouble. I'm 1660 01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,679 Speaker 1: just trying to represent a beacon of courage. People shouldn't 1661 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,640 Speaker 1: be afraid to stand up for their individual freedom. I 1662 01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:40,519 Speaker 1: love my country. I love what you do, Buck Shields. 1663 01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:43,680 Speaker 1: I from California. Wow, now that Josh is telling me 1664 01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,880 Speaker 1: he's from California, I'm like, oh, I get it, buddy. 1665 01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,400 Speaker 1: We're in a Maga hat in California in most place. 1666 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:53,760 Speaker 1: I know there are some reddish parts of California, but 1667 01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:57,160 Speaker 1: let's be real. If you're in California, you're pretty much 1668 01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 1: surrounded by the opposition, and that can be a real 1669 01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,000 Speaker 1: challenge that can be an issue for you in your 1670 01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,559 Speaker 1: day to day lives. It can mean that you feel 1671 01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:10,880 Speaker 1: there's a certain hostility around you at all times. So, Josh, 1672 01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:15,320 Speaker 1: it's certainly something that I am aware of, and I 1673 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:17,680 Speaker 1: feel you on that because I walk in and out 1674 01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 1: of my building no mask on. I'm the only person 1675 01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,000 Speaker 1: that I've seen not wearing a mask in my building. 1676 01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:25,519 Speaker 1: Of hundreds, there are hundreds and hundreds of people who 1677 01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:27,559 Speaker 1: live in my I live in a very tall, large 1678 01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:30,160 Speaker 1: building in New York. Hundreds of people live here. The 1679 01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,200 Speaker 1: only one that I've seen walking out without a mask 1680 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:38,160 Speaker 1: on is me, the only one. And the guidance has 1681 01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:41,600 Speaker 1: changed in New York. People are still wearing them. What 1682 01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 1: are they doing? Well, they've been brainwashed. It's really it's 1683 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:52,240 Speaker 1: very clear they have been brainwashed. Oh but Josh, thank 1684 01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,160 Speaker 1: you so much for trying to pass the buck. Tell 1685 01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:56,920 Speaker 1: people about the show. It really gues. It means so much. 1686 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:58,679 Speaker 1: Every time you get a new listener to this show, 1687 01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:00,800 Speaker 1: you're just you're helping us out, You're helping us grow, 1688 01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:04,080 Speaker 1: making what we do more and more, you know, impactful. 1689 01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:05,680 Speaker 1: As I was telling you, and I just like to 1690 01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:07,720 Speaker 1: be very upfront up with you all about this. And 1691 01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:11,360 Speaker 1: we don't have some marketing budget. I don't spend you know, 1692 01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:14,439 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a month on Facebook. So I get 1693 01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,479 Speaker 1: a lot of people downloading my show and clicking on 1694 01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:18,599 Speaker 1: my show all the time. Other people have that they 1695 01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,559 Speaker 1: do that. I don't have that. I just have all 1696 01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:22,880 Speaker 1: of you. I have the fact that this is the 1697 01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:27,720 Speaker 1: best conservative radio show slash podcast out there right now. 1698 01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,400 Speaker 1: That's what I rely on. That the quality of what 1699 01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:33,679 Speaker 1: we do here is so high. You know, I feel 1700 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:36,400 Speaker 1: like we're making the best We're making the best dinner 1701 01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,479 Speaker 1: for you here.

It's really all of you 1705 01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:52,559 Speaker 1: telling people about this show. That's what makes it continue 1706 01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:55,120 Speaker 1: to be successful and grow. So we do it the 1707 01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:56,840 Speaker 1: old We do it the old fashioned way here. It look. 1708 01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 1: I'd be nice if I had some you know, bill 1709 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,320 Speaker 1: millionaire professional sugar daddy who was going to write checks 1710 01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,280 Speaker 1: for me to you know, go speak in places and 1711 01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on social media to promote 1712 01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:13,000 Speaker 1: my stuff. But it's just me, producer Mark and this microphone. 1713 01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:15,240 Speaker 1: So that's how we and of course all of our 1714 01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,639 Speaker 1: affiliate stations across the country. But I'm saying in terms 1715 01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:22,479 Speaker 1: of promotion of selling this show to people through the 1716 01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:26,439 Speaker 1: different marketing mechanisms. You know, we're very grateful that we 1717 01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:30,000 Speaker 1: have the affiliates we do. And beyond that, it's word 1718 01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:35,360 Speaker 1: of mouth. It's word of mouth. Robert Bucking, producer Mark 1719 01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:38,639 Speaker 1: Love the podcast. It's my daily go to for great 1720 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:40,760 Speaker 1: insight as to what's really going on in the political world. 1721 01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,479 Speaker 1: I have an eighth grade daughter who is not ready 1722 01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:46,320 Speaker 1: to have who I'm not ready to have vaccinated. Yet 1723 01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:49,720 Speaker 1: there's no long term studies available to see what this 1724 01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,280 Speaker 1: would do to our kids. The problem is I now. 1725 01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:54,920 Speaker 1: The problem I now have is that we all had 1726 01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:58,080 Speaker 1: as kids. The outsider problem is that my friends are 1727 01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:00,240 Speaker 1: getting the vaccine and I don't want to wear a 1728 01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:02,400 Speaker 1: mask to school. That's what the kids are saying. I 1729 01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:04,680 Speaker 1: live in Connecticut where it seems imminent than kids will 1730 01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:08,400 Speaker 1: have to wear masks in school if not vaccinated. Question is, Buck, 1731 01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:10,200 Speaker 1: do we move to a state with more sane rules 1732 01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:13,040 Speaker 1: or do we fight the fight for our kids and 1733 01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,439 Speaker 1: keep those shields high man, Robert, A great question and 1734 01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:18,840 Speaker 1: not one that I have an easy answer for you on. 1735 01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:22,960 Speaker 1: Do you want to live in a different state? Are 1736 01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,679 Speaker 1: you up for that can you can your job move 1737 01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:29,000 Speaker 1: or can you easily find a similar job somewhere else? 1738 01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:31,920 Speaker 1: You know, those are the questions you have to ask. Um, 1739 01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:35,000 Speaker 1: will you stand and fight on this one? That's another option, 1740 01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:38,040 Speaker 1: but you'll probably if you if you stand and fight 1741 01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:41,160 Speaker 1: the school board yourself, you will probably, at least in 1742 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,360 Speaker 1: the early stages, lose. So are you prepared for that? 1743 01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 1: And then you're going to have to abide by the 1744 01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:49,800 Speaker 1: guidance send and be the guy who's kid uh you 1745 01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:51,960 Speaker 1: know who you were, the guy who was fighting against 1746 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,519 Speaker 1: getting your kids vaccinated? Right, That's what's going to happen, Robert. 1747 01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,600 Speaker 1: As you know, I'm a realist. I do order of 1748 01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 1: battle in my head as it is not as I 1749 01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,519 Speaker 1: wish it were. So you would have to tell me, 1750 01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:06,919 Speaker 1: can you move to another state? Is that really disruptive 1751 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:10,599 Speaker 1: to your family? If the answer is, you'd be happy 1752 01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:12,759 Speaker 1: to do it, man, go to Florida, Go to Tennessee, 1753 01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:16,040 Speaker 1: go to Texas. Go to a zero income tax state 1754 01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:22,000 Speaker 1: where you have red state government and greater freedom, greater protection, 1755 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:27,200 Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, lower cost of living. Connecticut's very expensive. 1756 01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:31,400 Speaker 1: So but if you got to stay, and this is 1757 01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:33,840 Speaker 1: important to you, you're gonna you know, you're gonna have 1758 01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,600 Speaker 1: that fight. But it's just it's like I try to 1759 01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:38,960 Speaker 1: tell people this, sometimes you got to stand up to 1760 01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 1: the bully. Just know that you're probably not actually gonna 1761 01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:45,320 Speaker 1: get away with punching the bully once and winning the fight. 1762 01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:49,439 Speaker 1: You might get punched and you might lose even after 1763 01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,840 Speaker 1: you stand up to the bully. Just remember that doesn't 1764 01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:53,840 Speaker 1: mean you don't do it, just means you've got to 1765 01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:57,679 Speaker 1: be realistic about what you're facing. Roll call continuing here, 1766 01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:03,639 Speaker 1: Eric now xt up, we have well bucked the Libs 1767 01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:07,960 Speaker 1: have finally gone full, full grown and blown, full blown 1768 01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:11,439 Speaker 1: crazy here in Portland. I have finished reading a recent 1769 01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,960 Speaker 1: article from The Oregonian describing we will now need to 1770 01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,880 Speaker 1: provide proof of vaccination in order for go masks indoors. 1771 01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:22,439 Speaker 1: I wanted to spread the word about the disgraceful leadership 1772 01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:24,479 Speaker 1: being shown by the Demps here at Oregon. Also, what 1773 01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:27,240 Speaker 1: do you think about a RHN Descantis and Rand Paul 1774 01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:31,479 Speaker 1: duo for the twenty twenty four presidential race. I've been 1775 01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:34,360 Speaker 1: very impressed with Rand Paul's aggressiveness when taking on the 1776 01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:37,280 Speaker 1: LIBS side. No producer, Mark, you are much too young 1777 01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:41,200 Speaker 1: to sound this grumpy all the time. Shieldsaye. First, I'll 1778 01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:47,000 Speaker 1: let producer Mark respond me grumpy never exactly. As for 1779 01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 1: the Oregonians describing in this article that you need to 1780 01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,200 Speaker 1: have proof of vaccination, here is a part of this 1781 01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 1: that I don't think has gotten enough attention. If you 1782 01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,639 Speaker 1: have to provide proof of vaccination one time this time, 1783 01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:05,000 Speaker 1: won't you have to do that again when there are 1784 01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:07,960 Speaker 1: booster shots, which we're not talking about right now because 1785 01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:11,479 Speaker 1: everyone knows that that would be a real kick in 1786 01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:13,960 Speaker 1: the face and make us realize, oh wait, they think 1787 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:17,200 Speaker 1: this is reality forever now. But they're probably going to 1788 01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:19,839 Speaker 1: bring that up and they're still You've got the CDC 1789 01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:25,720 Speaker 1: director talking about variance. You got Fauci out there to variance. 1790 01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:28,439 Speaker 1: You know what it is? That the other thing, the variance. 1791 01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:34,599 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what's actually happening. That's what we see 1792 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,759 Speaker 1: going on, and yet we don't talk about it because 1793 01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:43,560 Speaker 1: it would be politically costly for Democrats. It would be 1794 01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:49,080 Speaker 1: a politically costly situation for them right now to say 1795 01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:51,720 Speaker 1: that there's going to be booster shots. But if you 1796 01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:54,439 Speaker 1: have to prove it this time, you're gonna have to 1797 01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:57,280 Speaker 1: prove it next time, which means you get you get 1798 01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:02,120 Speaker 1: not only forever COVID restictions, but you get forever vaccine passports. 1799 01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:07,040 Speaker 1: You know, just just give it time. Remember vaccine passports. 1800 01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:11,120 Speaker 1: Liberals are in favor of voter ID. They somehow oppose 1801 01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,840 Speaker 1: voter ID is crazy. How dare you say we should 1802 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:19,000 Speaker 1: have voter ID? That's racist? Vaccine passport? Oh, that's great, 1803 01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:22,360 Speaker 1: go for that. They are all about it. And then 1804 01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:28,879 Speaker 1: you also said a Rand Paul Eric Randi Santis ticket 1805 01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:34,680 Speaker 1: to Santis Paul. Look, I hope de Santis runs for 1806 01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:37,439 Speaker 1: president and wins in twenty twenty four. That's my belief. 1807 01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:39,680 Speaker 1: That's my hope right now. Who knows. That's a long 1808 01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:44,000 Speaker 1: ways away. Rand Paul. I really like his ideas. I 1809 01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:49,799 Speaker 1: like his consistency and his principle. He lacks retail political 1810 01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:56,000 Speaker 1: retail skills he does, so I don't know if that'll work, 1811 01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:59,360 Speaker 1: but I do like, I do like and respect his 1812 01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,880 Speaker 1: idea he is as a politician and what he does. 1813 01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:04,400 Speaker 1: So I got a lot of respect for Rand Paul. 1814 01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:07,680 Speaker 1: But he's just not a He's not a charismatic enough 1815 01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:09,840 Speaker 1: guy I think to be president. That's the truth. But 1816 01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:14,280 Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. Sometimes I am not Usually that's it 1817 01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:17,040 Speaker 1: for today, folks, thanks so much for being here. Back tomorrow, 1818 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:17,960 Speaker 1: Shield tie
