There's certainly a push pull going on right now, 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: those of us who are feeling the increased warmth and 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: sense of freedom and yes, momentum to getting back our lives. 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: And then there are bureaucrats and naysayers and people who 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: have gotten either addicted to this new lifestyle in some 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: way of remote work from home, or addicted to the 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: control that they've had over so much of the population. 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: This is going to continue to play out. This is 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: a major challenge that we have in our society, and 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: I want us to be very clear about what we're facing. 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: We're going to get into that today. I also want 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: you to be clear about the challenge of privacy online 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: and making sure that you aren't being tracked constantly everything 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: you do, every click. You know that you can't trust 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: big tech anymore, that's for sure. Remember when Google used 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: to say, don't be evil, We've seen what they actually 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: intend to do with your data, with shutting you down, 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: with interfering in a presidential election. I mean the stuff 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: that big tech has been up to really has broken 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: whatever faith we had in them in the past. And 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: that's why I don't want you getting tracked all the time. 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: You need to think of a VPN, a virtual private network, 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: as a necessary tool in your cyber defense. Okay, you 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: have to have it. It's not a sort of kind 28 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: of maybe thing. Otherwise everything you do is being tracked 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: and who knows what they're going to do with that data. 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: When I switch on Express VPN on my computer or phone, 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: my address is masked by a VPN server. That's right. 32 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: My IP address isn't something that they can just track 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: the same way. This is so straightforward. You can do 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: it on up to five devices simultaneously.

You need a VPN 40 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: given how much tracking and surveillance there is out there 41 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: of you, So stop handing over your data to big 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: tech companies.

What 49 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: have we learned about the pandemic? What have we seen 50 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: at this point that has changed our perception of the 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: kind of relationship that we have with our government, that 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: has made us think differently about whether we can trust 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: the experts and medical community. This is a fascinating, terrifying 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: tale in so many ways. The World Health Organization twelve 55 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: months today declared that this was an official pandemic, a 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: global pandemic, in fact, the first real one that we 57 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: have had since the Spanish influenza of over one hundred 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: years ago. So this was a once in a century phenomenon. 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: And we've been through a lot, all of us, this 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: whole country, the whole world in fact, and I know 61 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: that right now we're just beginning to feel like we've 62 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: got the momentum on our side and we're getting past this. 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: And that's absolutely the correct mindset. I mean, if you've 64 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: made it to this point and you haven't had Especially 65 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: for anybody who hasn't had a really serious bout with 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: the disease themselves, or god forbid, lost somebody that they 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: know and lost a loved one to this. You know, 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: consider yourself lucky at this point because it has ravaged 69 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: this country, it's gone all over the world, and it's 70 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: a reminder of so many things. The biggest lesson for 71 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: me of the pandemic, the single biggest lesson, if I 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: had to pick one, is the reminder that you are 73 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: in control of your destiny, or else you will give 74 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: up your freedom right. There is no other choice. It's 75 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: on you. It's on you how much you are willing 76 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: to protect yourself, how much you're willing to make decisions 77 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: about your health and your future. The government cannot protect 78 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: you the way that we would so many people want 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: to believe they can. The government is incapable of making 80 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: the kinds of policy decisions about public health that will 81 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: keep everybody safe. And if you make that trade off, 82 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: if you're willing to say to them, sure, I'll give 83 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: up my freedom in exchange for safety from a virus, 84 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: it will be abused. And we have been through a 85 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: greater attack on basic freedom and liberty this year than 86 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: we've ever seen in my lifetime in America. That is 87 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: what has happened. There are a lot of people who 88 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: are self deluded about this. There are a lot of 89 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: people who don't want to think that that is the case. 90 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: But if you look around and see, we shut down 91 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: businesses on the whims of politicians for months on end, 92 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: bankrupted them. We told landlords, sorry, you can't collect rent 93 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: or evict somebody because of the pandemic, and then they 94 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: end up defaulting to the bank. We told people that 95 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: they couldn't see loved ones, they couldn't hug their grandchildren, 96 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: they couldn't go out and be with their fellow human beings, 97 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: they couldn't go to church, they couldn't protest government policies 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: against this. When you start to look at what was 99 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: normalized at different points in this and what people were 100 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: willing to accept. I never thought it would get to 101 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: this point in America, at least not this easily, for 102 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: this kind of infringement, this degree of infringements on our freedom. 103 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: I assumed there would be a greater pushback that America, 104 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, the land of the Free, home of the 105 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: brave that don't tread on me country. We stand up 106 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: for our rights. Give me liberty or give me death. Those, 107 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: for the first time in my lifetime out like empty slogans. 108 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: A lot of the time. That was the takeaway that 109 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: I think we all would have to have from this, 110 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: depending on where you are. I know some people suffered 111 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: much more than others from this. I know there were 112 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: some challenges that as we look at them, it was 113 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: hard to know exactly how we should have handled it 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: at the time. But can anyone look at this and 115 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: say that our leadership and our government was on it. 116 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: They did a good job. I understand that we want 117 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: to point to the vaccine. The vaccine is private sector 118 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies, folks operating under the profit motive. Yes, backstop 119 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: by the federal government through Operation Warp Speed under the 120 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: Trump administration. But look at how many times we were 121 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: told things that were conflicting in terms of the advice, 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: in terms of the prescriptions. Look at how often we 123 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: were silenced on an issue of essential public concern. Right 124 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: we were told, don't question the experts, do this or 125 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: else you have no choice. They use the force of 126 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: government and the state to tell you how far away 127 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: physically you could be from other human beings. The government 128 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: became comfortable telling you that they will find you or 129 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: even imprison you if you do not wear a covering 130 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: over your nose and your mouth when you're in public 131 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: at all times. I sit here and I think, how 132 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: could anyone view that the tradeoff that was made that 133 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: we were forced to make here and think that it 134 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: was anything other than disastrous. Well, the policies that were 135 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: inflicted on us successful. Does anyone really believe that we 136 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: had a successful response to this virus as a country. 137 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: You've over five hundred thousand dead, five hundred and thirty 138 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: thousand last count that I saw. I don't think anyone 139 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: could say that this was something where we would say 140 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: we did we did all that was required to defeat it. 141 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: But then again, we did all they said was required 142 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: and it didn't work. So what does that tell us. 143 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: It means that all along there were things they didn't know, 144 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be honest about. And it means that if 145 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: you believe the government will not take into it into 146 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: its hands almost unlimited power, if you give it the opportunity, 147 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: you're just not paying attention. We should never have been 148 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: in this position. The government does not have the right 149 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: to do the thing. And by the way, I don't 150 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: even care about the constitution. Nobody has the right to 151 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: tell you that you have to put a mask on 152 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: outside all the time. Nobody has the right to do that. 153 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: It's just the basic human dignity thing. That's that's absurd. 154 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: This is crazy. It's not a limited time and place 155 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: restriction saying all the time, everywhere you're outside, you have 156 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: to do this, because you know, mass mandatesate outdoor mask 157 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: manates in places too. And so when I say the 158 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: right this is this is wrong. This is too much 159 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: power for the government to have. And and notice how 160 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: they kept changing the justifications as they went along to 161 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: or they kept changing the science so that they would 162 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: have the justifications to make whatever modifications to policy they 163 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: felt like just in time. You know, it was like 164 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: they had started some kind of a religion and they got, 165 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, the moment they needed it. There was some 166 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: revelation that told them, yeah, whatever Fauci wants you to do, 167 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: that's what you're supposed to do. Whatever Faucci declares as 168 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: the smart thing that comes from the science or the data. 169 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: We were led like sheep into policies that anybody who's 170 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: actually looking at the numbers would have to say, this 171 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: was at a minimum ineffective and perhaps even counterproductive. It 172 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: didn't give us the benefits we were promised, and it 173 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: certainly caused a lot of additional challenges and downside. And 174 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: I think that this was what cost This is what 175 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: cost the Trump administration reelection. I think that this is 176 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: why you now have Joe Biden dottering around mumbling to himself, 177 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: all because of a global pandemic. You just never know 178 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: what life is going to throw at you, do you. 179 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: Everyone says we could have prepared for this. We actually 180 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: did have a lot of preparations for pandemics going on 181 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: at the CDC, which we've now seen is, in my opinion, 182 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: a part as an abomination. The places as atrocious, so 183 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: much incompetence and just bureaucratic quizzling back and forth on 184 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: the one hand, on the other hand, hyper cautious but 185 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: also oddly always siding with the Democrats. Isn't that interesting 186 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: that the CDC is not what many people thought it 187 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: was beforehand? But there's no real way to prepare a 188 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: society for this. This was a stress test of our freedoms, 189 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: what we're willing to endure, what we will put up 190 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: with from our government overlords. And it didn't go well, 191 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: I mean our response, it didn't go well. In the 192 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: age of mass media, mass hysteria has become far too 193 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: easy to utilize, to weaponize, even for political purposes. You 194 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: have people now they're even saying they're going to keep 195 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: doing even after they're vaccinated, their whole families vaccinated. They're 196 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: going to keep all the measures in place, going to 197 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: keep all the measures in place. This is panic, this 198 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: is hysteria. It's sad and absurd, and I wouldn't care 199 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: except they want you to do that as well. And 200 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: there will be people out there who continue to demand this. 201 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: There will be politicians, there will be there will be government, 202 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: state and local that continue to inflict this madness upon 203 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: people because they can't get a grip on their emotions 204 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: and understand that life comes with risk. There is no 205 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: risk free existence. And if you think that government can 206 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: take all risk out of your day to day, you 207 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: are just inviting tyranny. That is what we saw. Your 208 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: destiny is in your hands, you you hand it to 209 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: anyone else at your peril, and in a sense, the 210 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: destiny is still in your hands because you've made the 211 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: decision to let somebody. It's only because you let them 212 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: that they're able to get away with this. It is 213 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: only because you've handed over authority over your own life 214 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: to some external force that you're not able to push 215 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: back and tell them to stop, that there are lines 216 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: that they shall not cross. I do think we're heading 217 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: into a better place now. I think that things are 218 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: going to improve pretty dramatically over the next three to 219 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: six months. But I want you to remember that there 220 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: are those who would not stand up for freedom during 221 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: this There are those who lied to you and would 222 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: never admit it. And there are people who have become 223 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: they've gotten a taste of the power that they have 224 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: to silence anyone and make anyone do whatever they say, 225 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: and they want that to stay as long as possible, 226 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: and they want it back if they lose it. You've 227 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: seen this monster now of absolute power in a way 228 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: you never believe would be possible in America, at least 229 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: not without fighting some kind of war. Right. You've seen 230 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: what it looks like, and now we have to keep 231 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: it at bay. And the Democrats have not let this go. 232 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: They haven't decided all of a sudden they're going to 233 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: be reasonable and they don't want all this power. No. 234 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: In fact, they view this, I think as the precursor 235 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: the justification for few sure infringements upon liberty and freedom. 236 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: And that's why we have to be on guard. The 237 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: Biden administration loves using a crisis as an opportunity, and 238 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: this is an ongoing crisis. Whether the numbers actually support 239 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: that or not. In the future, they're going to say, 240 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: it could always come back. Do what we say. There 241 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: could be another one. Do what we say, because California, 242 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: we're not going to come crawling back. We will roar back, 243 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: you know when this pandemic ends, and it will end soon. 244 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: We're not going to go back to normal, because I 245 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: think we all agree normal was never good enough. In 246 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: a normal accepts inequity. That's why Latinos are dying from 247 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: COVID at a higher rate than any other racial or 248 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: ethnic group. And while essential workers' wages aren't enough for 249 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: them to afford the essentials, and why mothers mothers have 250 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: been leaving the workforce in staggering numbers. Look, our eyes 251 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: are wide open to what's wrong and so our journey 252 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: back must also be a path to close those inequities. 253 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: There is no economic recovery, no economic recovery without economic justice, 254 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: not returning to normal. Now, I know the context in 255 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: which he said that. I understand that Gavin Newsom, who's 256 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: trying to cling to his job as governor of California, 257 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: is doing his best here, and he's trying to appeal 258 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: to his base and to Democrats in the looney left 259 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: state of California. But that's a broader sentiment, and you 260 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: know they have this one. They don't want to go 261 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: back to normal now, of course not. In fact, the 262 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: COVID bill, as we've seen, isn't really a COVID bill. 263 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: It's a spend two trillion dollars on whatever the Democrats 264 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: want for the transformation of our society bill. It is 265 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: a progressive bill, by their own admission. Now, now that 266 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: it's done, you'll notice, once they've gotten at past, they're 267 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: willing to say things that are far more honest than 268 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: what they had previously said about this. Now we see 269 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: ourselves being told, oh, that's right, we're getting everything we 270 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: want in this process as Democrats. You know, sorry, Republicans, 271 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: you're getting steamrolled. There's actually an article in the Wall 272 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: Street Journal calling it the progressive steamroller. That's what's happening 273 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: right now. Get out of the way. They're gonna do 274 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: it their way, or you can go take a long 275 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: walk off a short pier. They don't care. There's no bipartisanship, 276 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter that half the country really disagrees with some 277 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: of the things that Joe Biden segment, not not a 278 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: little bit, disagrees a lot. And the border is the 279 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: best example of what a crisis under Democrat leadership looks like. 280 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: This is entirely because of their ideological positions on the border. 281 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: That's why we have a crisis right now. This is 282 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: because they've changed policies, they've changed enforcement priorities. Democrats just 283 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: want whoever wants to come here from all of the world, 284 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: but mostly from Central America. They just show up, and 285 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: the Democrats will make sure they're processed and into the 286 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: country as quickly as possible. That's how they really feel. 287 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: You won't hear any Democrats say, hold on a second, 288 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: we have too many people coming. This is not through 289 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: our legal process. This is making a mockery of our 290 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: actual immigration system. None of them say that, No, their 291 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: problem with what's going on is just that we don't 292 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: have enough personnel to you know, take down the names 293 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: and basic data of people coming across the border so 294 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: we can make sure that when they're in the interior, 295 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, they can sign up for you know, welfare 296 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: benefits and get drivers licenses and in state tuition or 297 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: all these things. That's they just want the processing to 298 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: be smoother. They don't want it to stop. I mean, 299 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: this is a big difference why the Democrats have to 300 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: just lie about this because the the the base of 301 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is all about it. I mean, thirty 302 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: percent of the country roughly just wants us to have 303 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: an open border, all right. The Democrat left on the 304 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: coasts and in the major cities, you know, the deep 305 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: blue parts of the country, they just believe, let's just 306 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: go for an open border. Whether they say so or not, 307 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: that's how they really feel. But something like sixty percent 308 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: of the country really doesn't water immigration system to cease 309 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: to actually exist. I think they think that we should 310 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: have some rules, some enforcement, you know, you should come 311 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: here with respect to US laws. So this is why 312 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: Democrats are doing something and lying about what they're doing 313 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of like the COVID bill, right, they call it 314 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: a COVID bill, And then as soon as it passes, 315 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: what do they tell you, Well, this is actually a 316 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: progressive steamroller. This is actually meant to get our priorities done. 317 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: And anybody who challenges it is opposed to fourteen hundred 318 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: dollar checks for Americans. That's what they say. Just like 319 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: with Obamacare. If you opposed Obamacare, there's so many parallels. 320 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: This is all out of the Obama A Lynsky playbook. 321 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: There's so many parallels. What do they say if you 322 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: had a problem with Obamacare? What was the answer they 323 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: would give you? Oh, you don't want people with pre 324 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: existing conditions to get healthcare? That was it. They shut 325 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: you down with that every time. Well, if that was 326 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: all Obamacare was about, why was it a couple of 327 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: thousand pages long, why was it such an an enormous 328 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: effort to get it past, involving so many different special 329 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: interests and carve outs and medical device taxes, all the 330 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: different things. If it was just about that, it wasn't 331 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: just about that. But that was the sweetener, you see. Well, 332 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: really that was the cloak of invulnerability too. It was appealing, 333 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: but are also meant that nobody could attack it. Same 334 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: thing with this COVID relief bill. If you think that 335 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: it's a problem that Democrats are just slashing around hundreds 336 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars to cities that have poorly managed finances, 337 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: that are running welfare states on their own that they shouldn't, 338 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: to teachers, unions, you name it. If you got a 339 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: problem with any of that, why don't you want fourteen 340 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: hundred dollars checks to go to Americans who needed Republicans 341 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: under Trump are talking about a two thousand dollars check. Clearly, 342 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: we don't have a problem with the check going to 343 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: people to help them out during this difficult financial time. 344 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: But that's the way the propaganda works. The leveraging of 345 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: this crisis is really just beginning now, as I've been 346 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: telling you, Even when we get to a point where 347 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: the numbers are very low, as Fauci says, you know, 348 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: under ten thousand is kind of his benchmark for where 349 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: we have really low numbers of COVID and we don't 350 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: have to worry anymore. Even when we get to that 351 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: point with Fauci or with our COVID cases, they're going 352 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: to say, well, now we need to do a trillion 353 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: dollars of infrastructure spending. Now we need to do a 354 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: trillion dollars of you know whatever it may be, climate change, 355 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: renovation of every building and every power plant in the country. 356 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: Don't you see that That's what happens after this. They 357 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: use COVID recovery as the launchpad for whatever transformational policies 358 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: they want to get through. Without having an honest discussion 359 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: with the American people about what they're really doing, they 360 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: just they couch it all in COVID relief. So for 361 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: the next the next twelve months at least, get ready 362 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: for that. Anything Joe Biden says needs to get done, 363 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: it's we need to do this because we suffered so 364 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: horribly from the pandemic. It becomes an emotional appeal that 365 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: if you have any problem with it, if you challenge 366 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: at all, they will trash you for not wanting Americans 367 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: to get money. They will say that you don't care, 368 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: you're heartless, you know, as if we didn't all suffer 369 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: through the COVID pandemic, as if we weren't all honestly traumatized. 370 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: We've we've gone through a national trauma with this whole thing, 371 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: the separation from family and friends and loved ones and 372 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: our colleagues and everything we've been through. And it's going 373 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: to take some time to process this, but the damaged 374 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: psyche of the American people, for those of us who 375 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: are honorable, we're all just trying to say we should 376 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: come together and get back on our feet and and 377 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: you know, take care of each other's Americans in our 378 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: own communities, in our own ways however we can. The 379 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: Democrats are saying, oh, you've got a damage psyche, let's 380 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: exploit that. That's how they view this. This is a 381 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: moment for exploitation at the national level on this occasion. 382 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: And I think I can safely say, and I've said 383 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: this to my colleagues in the House on the Democratic side, 384 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: this is the most consequential legislation that many of us 385 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: will ever be a party too. Who knows what the 386 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: future may bring, but nonetheless, on this day we celebrate 387 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: because we are honoring a promise made by our president, 388 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: and as we join with him and promising that help 389 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: is on the way, the most consequential piece of legislation 390 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: in our lifetime. Nancy Pelosi says, say what you will 391 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: about Pelosi and I say a lot. This woman understands 392 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: the raw exercise of power. She is thrilled that they 393 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: got this through. And I got to say, she was 394 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: willing to let Americans suffer by the million. She was 395 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: willing to play the delay games at the cost of 396 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: lots of misery all across the nation because we should 397 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: have gotten COVID relief done. We got it done five times, 398 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: you know, before Democrats had control in Congress and the 399 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: White House. But we should have had it in August. 400 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: But she she said no, She wanted to just build 401 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: it all up and then expend all of their political 402 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: capital and your actual capital, two trillion dollars of it, 403 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: in this massive bill that she says is the most 404 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: consequential in our lifetimes. I know that that should send 405 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a chill down your spine. Pelosi, 406 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: is that excited about this? Think about how this will 407 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: strengthen the Democrat political machinery, the mechanisms of control over 408 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: your life in many different ways, and what this looks 409 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: like for them going into the mid terms. They're assuming 410 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: that this amount of spending is going to strengthen their hand. 411 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: That's certainly possible, that's certainly possible. It depends on what 412 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: they does. But this enormous amount of spending, I'm really 413 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: worried that you're going to start to see real interest 414 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: rates will rise, inflation will start to tick up, and 415 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: governments are once inflation gets beyond their control, guess what, 416 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: it's beyond their control. There's not a whole lot they're 417 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: going to be able to do. And that is that 418 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: is so damaging for particularly people that are wage earners 419 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: in the middle class. So we'll see what what this does. 420 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: We'll see how this plays out with the economy. I 421 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: think that it's going to work out very I mean, 422 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: if you want to understand the trajectory of the Biden administration, 423 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: that the one that what is its trajectory right now? 424 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: Just look at the first four years of the Obama administration. 425 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: Came in during a crisis. You know, stinks to be 426 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: you Republicans were in charge, Shut up, get out of 427 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: the way. They pass a trillion dollars, they go for 428 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: a Obamacare. Now you see what's going on right now. 429 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: They have a COVID pandemic as the crisis. They're passing 430 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: two trillion dollars of stimulus spending only nine percent of 431 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: it actually has anything to do with COVID vaccines and 432 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: actual COVID fighting. And guess what the next move is 433 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: going to be amnesty. That's what That's what's gonna happen. 434 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: This is why the boarder they're not going to stop this. 435 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: And you know what they're gonna say. They're gonna they're 436 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: gonna get Republicans, are gonna twist their arms. They got 437 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: the media all in their pocket, and they're gonna get 438 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: Republicans to say, you know what, we can't what are 439 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: we really going to do? Guys. Let's just we'll make 440 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: a deal with the Democrats that will go for a 441 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: pathway to legalization. We won't call its citizenship, and we'll 442 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: do it in exchange for aggressive enforcement mechanisms at our 443 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: Southern board, which are never going to happen, but it 444 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: will be. It'll be the Gang of Eight situation all 445 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: over again, except even more illegals in the country, which 446 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: means even more political weight to what they want. That's 447 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: what we're facing right now. That's what's underway. And if 448 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: you have a problem with it, remember how I told 449 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: you about it. Just it all lines up. I mean, 450 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: it really is. We're in the deja vu administration. Right, 451 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: we've seen all this before. If you were opposed to Obamacare, 452 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: you didn't want people with pre existing conditions. People with 453 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: actual pre existing conditions, I mean, the real ones that 454 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: make them uninsurable, were less than one percent of the 455 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: healthcare market. We could have dealt with that completely separately 456 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: from all this other we could, but no, it was 457 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: very effective. And look, they outmaneuvered Republicans on that they 458 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: got to at first. Republicans should have dealt with that too, 459 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: because there is an emotional pull. There is a moral 460 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: a moral case for why we need to make sure 461 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: that if somebody's has some you know, issue at of 462 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: their health that they're born with or that they have 463 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: some terrible disease they come down with, that they can't 464 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: be pushed out of the insurance market bankrupted and ruined. Right, 465 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: And the way insurance companies were sometimes throwing people off 466 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: and essentially just protecting their profits at the expense of 467 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: decency in a dishonest way that needed to be dealt 468 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: with wasn't dealt with. We still don't really know what 469 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: the Republican healthcare plan as I'm just gonna say it. 470 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: We hear a lot about free markets and blah BDeh blah. 471 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: But okay, we didn't get to repeal in replace. Hey, look, 472 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: this is team honesty here on the Buck Sexton Show. 473 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: You know, you get you know, there'll be other people 474 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: that are still there. They're just desperately chasing after the 475 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: Trump train. Now, everything Trump did was amazing. Everything that's 476 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: not there was a great Trump stuff. There were shortcomings, 477 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: there were missus. Okay, that's obviously what really happened. But 478 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: there are people I know are just Trump I love it, 479 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: chase the train and I'm but I want to get 480 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: back on the Trump train as soon as I can 481 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: because I don't really have anything to say. They don't 482 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: really stand for anything. There are a lot of grifters 483 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: in Trump world. We all know that too. You know that, 484 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: I know that. Now we have to be the opposition. 485 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: And it's not off to just say, you know, oh, 486 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: Trump released some statement from our lago and we're all 487 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: going to repeat that on air and suggest that that 488 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: somehow is enough. No, we have to we have to 489 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: make these arguments. We have to stare reality in the 490 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: face here and convince fifty one percent of our fellow 491 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: Americans in the electorate that there's a better way, there's 492 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: a better choice, or you know, fifty point zero zero 493 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: one whatever, we got to do, but we got to 494 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: get an advantage. And that's our work between now and 495 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: the midterms. We have a mission here, friends, we have 496 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: a quest we are on. This isn't just all talking 497 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: about this stuff for the sake of intellectual discourse. No, 498 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: we're trying to get power back. We're trying to win, 499 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: and that means looking at what really happened and what 500 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: really is going on in the country all around us, 501 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: and things like the propaganda effect of having Democrats and 502 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: having journalists out there saying that if you oppose this 503 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: two trillion dollar bill, you actually don't want Americans to 504 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: get a fourteen hundred dollar check. We need to call 505 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: that stuff out because you and I can here and say, oh, 506 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: what cheap nonsense, that's not true. And Republicans wanted to 507 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. By the way, Mitch McConnell, Oh what 508 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: a disaster with the opposing two thousand dollars right before 509 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: the Georgia's Senate election. What idiocy. Yeah, don't worry, We're 510 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: going to criticize Mitch McConnell here plenty too. But here's 511 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: a New York Times reporter talking about the fourteen hundred 512 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: dollars checks. And this is this is what the sheep 513 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: will bleat in Unison when anyone tries to say, wow, 514 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: Democrats just spent another two trillion dollars. This is getting 515 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: out of this is really out of control. Play five. Well, yeah, 516 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, they voted against your fourteen hundred dollars check. 517 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: He didn't want you to have it. So I don't 518 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: understand the political strategy here. I think perhaps they feel 519 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: that by the midterms in two years that people have 520 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: forgotten and there'll be something else they're thinking about. I 521 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: just don't understand these votes. But again, they will take 522 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: credit for it and hope that people forget. But I 523 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: think that is one reason you're seeing this big effort 524 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: by the Biden White House. I mean, this is going 525 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: to go on for a month. Biden's going to Philadelphia 526 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: this week or next week, and he's got the entire 527 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: cabinet out, and they are just it's just this blitz. 528 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: They're going to delay the addressed to Congress by at 529 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: least at least until April because they're you know, determined 530 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: to sell this bill, which they are very pleased about. 531 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: So again, I don't I just I think the Republicans 532 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: think that by by by twenty twenty two, the fall 533 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, people have forgotten about the bill and 534 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: they can move on to something else. It is a 535 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: mystery to me. Yeah, what they voted against your fourteen 536 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars check that's they're going to distill it 537 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: down to that talking point. Even the Republicans wanted to 538 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: do a check back in August. Here we are in March. Democrats, 539 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: Pelosi leading the charge, refused to take action while people 540 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: were suffering, while we went through winter, the worst winter 541 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: we had of COVID, right or the worst period of time, 542 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: the worst ninety days was this was this winter, you know, 543 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: it was December January February was the worst COVID outbreak 544 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: that we've ever we've ever gone through, and we had 545 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: all these businesses clothed, We had people who are running 546 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: down their savings. You know the problem is journalists have 547 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: actually done pretty well during this. If journalists had all 548 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: lost their jobs that they couldn't continue to work, trust me, 549 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: we'd all be hearing about the economic devastation. But you 550 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: know who's been economically devastated by this, individual small business owners. 551 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: They're the ones who have been devastated by this. Restaurant owners, 552 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: people that own stores and shops. Not Amazon. They're fine. 553 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: Not the Washington Post, which is owned by the CEO 554 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: of Amazon or the founder of Amazon. Now, they're doing 555 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: just fine. So of course they were willing to sacrifice you. 556 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: They were willing to advocate for you to continue to 557 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: shelter in place. And where two masks, we're five masks. 558 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: Don't see anybody wash your hands all that stuff, because 559 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: they were just sitting at home, filing their reports, just 560 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: echoing the propaganda of other corporate media outlets, you know, 561 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: putting their their garbage out there online, getting their paycheck 562 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: as usual. They had their healthcare. They're fine, you know, 563 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: ordering from Uber Eats and getting all kinds of exciting 564 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: food because the journals all live in cities where there's 565 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: a lot of food delivery options. Of course, so the 566 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: economic pain that has not been covered. That the same 567 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: with the economic pain of the destruction of businesses during 568 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: the BLM riots. That was never a focus and it's 569 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: all narrative creation. That's what the media actually does. They're 570 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: not telling you what's going on. They're telling you what's 571 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: important in their minds for you to know and believe. 572 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: It's a different thing. And that's why the way that 573 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: the public views this two trillion dollars that Biden is spending. 574 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: I know it's one point nine trillion, but you know, 575 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: we'll say two trillion. The way the public views that 576 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: matters a whole heck of a lot, because this could 577 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: make or break the Biden administration. How this goes, what 578 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: this does to the economy is going to be the 579 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: difference maker. And you can already see it right now. 580 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: I know it's a million it's so far away to 581 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: think about the midterm elections right now, but really it's March. 582 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in the summer. Before you know it, 583 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the fall. We're gonna be one year out. 584 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: It's gonna be an election year. That's how these cycles 585 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: work in this country. You know what, I know it. 586 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: And if they spend all this money and we start 587 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: to see some real ill effects in the economy, some 588 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: slowed growth, some continued hyperregulation, COVID restrictions that are unnecessary, 589 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: people are gonna get really tired of this stuff. So 590 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna latch They're gonna continue to latch on to 591 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: the Oh they've voted against your fourteen hundred, fine, we 592 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 1: have to make the case that they could not in 593 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: a moment that cries out for adult leadership and bipartisanship. 594 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: Republicans worked with Democrats five times last year. Democrats said, 595 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: screw you, Republicans, this is our opportunity to get whatever 596 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: we want. That was what they did. Absolutely, as Senator 597 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: Warnock said yesterday, thank God for Georgia. We would not 598 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: have passed this legislation had we not won these two 599 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: runoff victories on January fifth. So for anybody who ever 600 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: doubts that elections have consequences and that voting matters, the 601 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars of economic relief that working families are 602 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: about to receive, the hundreds of billions of dollars for 603 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: the public health effort and to reopen our schools, the 604 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: most progressive economic relief package passed in generations by the 605 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: US Congress, zero percent of the tax credits and stimulus 606 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: checks going to the top one percent, promoting economic recovery 607 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: by getting help directly to working class and middle class 608 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: people would not have been possible had folks not turned 609 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: out in record numbers in Georgia in early January. That's 610 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: the beauty of our democracy. The people's voice is what counts. 611 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: The people demanded this economic relief. Georgia voters demanded this 612 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: economic relief. We've delivered the economic relief. Now it's time 613 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: to pass voting rights measures and to advance a bold 614 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: and historical infrastructure planet. Oh, they're moving on to the 615 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: next thing already. And I know we have to eat 616 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: our peas sometimes, and that means understanding that the loss 617 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: of those two Senate seats in Georgia. I told you 618 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: when Trump was when Trump was declared, you know, the 619 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: loser in the twenty twenty election. I said, guys, you 620 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: remember this. I said, if we win one of the 621 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: two Senate seats in Georgia, we're gonna be able to 622 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: hold a line. We're gonna be all right. Don't worry 623 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: about it. Right, it's not great. Obviously, I was bummed 624 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: about what happened. But bummed is putting a molly about 625 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: the Trump loss. But but then we lost the two 626 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: Georgia Senate runoff seats in highly winnable races. You know, yeah, 627 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: Kelly Leffler was not a good candidate obviously, I mean, 628 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: Perdue I kind of thought would get it done, but nope. 629 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: So you know, the elections do have consequences. It is 630 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: a true statement, and we're dealing with those consequences right now. 631 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: This is the world that I was hoping. This is 632 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: the America I was hoping we'd avoid by at least 633 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: keeping a divided Congress with Republican control. But they're getting 634 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: their way. So we make the argument against it. We've 635 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: got to convince enough Americans. We have to get people 636 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 1: engaged enough in what's going on that people like Joe 637 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: Mansion in West Virginia that you know, people like Susan 638 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: Collins up in Maine. Well, Susan Collins a Republican, I know, 639 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: but you know, we got to get her to actually 640 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: stay with the team here. But we've got to get 641 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion to make sure that he doesn't just go 642 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: along with the left on everything. I mean, he's one 643 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: of the most important politicians in the country right now, 644 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: and he knows it. If they get rid of the filibuster, 645 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: we've got we've got big challenges, and they're already giving 646 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: us some sense of what they what they want to do. 647 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: I've told you what the game plan is. You know 648 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: that I'm good at seeing the next moves of my opponents, 649 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: and whether it's doctor Fauci with all of his lockdown madness, 650 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: or what the Democrats are planning. Here they've you know, 651 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: it lines up with what Obama they're They're just it's 652 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: like they put a big folder out. It's like you 653 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: have you know, Axelrod and Valerie Jared have taken the 654 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: folders out of the dusty file cabinets of you know, 655 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: Obama one point zero, Obama two point zero, right the 656 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: first of the first and second terms, and they're saying, 657 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 1: here you go, and the people around Biden is handlers 658 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: the Biden team are going, okay, this is what we do. Now, Okay, 659 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: this is the next move, and they're executing on it. 660 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: I know they're authoritarians and they're they're you know, leftist, 661 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: woke lunatics and all that, but they do know how 662 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: to execute on their totalitarian plans, and that's what they're doing. 663 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: The next move, as I've said to you, is amnesty. 664 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: This is where they're going. Here's democrat from Georgia. Us 665 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: off talking about a play twelve. I look. The right 666 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: way to handle immigration has been well known to be 667 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: the right way to handle them for twenty years. It's 668 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reform with a path to legal status for 669 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: those who are here without proper documentation and otherwise follow 670 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: the law, and substantive efforts to improve border security. There's 671 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: a bipartisan consensus among the people that that's what we need, 672 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: just like there is a bipartisan consensus among the people 673 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: that we needed to pass this stimulus. Ordinary Americans know 674 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: what's right and what's needed. It's up to politicians in 675 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: this building and this town to get it done. And 676 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: it's up to politicians in this building in this town 677 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: as well to pass the kind of infrastructure bill that 678 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 1: will leave a mark for a century, modernizing our economy, 679 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: getting our electric grid to one hundred percent carbon free 680 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: electric production, getting our vehicle fleet one hundred percent electric. 681 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: We can make history in the next eighteen months with 682 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: a massive infrastructure package. We need to get it done. 683 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: We should look at getting it done this summer. They're 684 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,280 Speaker 1: moving forward on all this progressive transformation of America's underway, 685 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: using COVID as the springboard the emergency to justify whatever 686 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 1: they want, and we have to hold a line against it. 687 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: President Biden has made clear from day one that he 688 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: wants to change our immigration system. Doing so means truly 689 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: building back better, because we can't just undo four years 690 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: of the previous administration's actions overnight. Those actions didn't just 691 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: neglect our immigration system, they intentionally made it worse. When 692 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 1: you add a pandemic to that, it's clear it will 693 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: take significant time to overcome. We must build a better 694 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: immigration system that reflects our values as Americans, enforces our laws, 695 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: safeguards public health, and moves away from cycles of irregular migration. 696 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: Made it worse, made it worse. Ambassador Jacobson says, they're 697 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: about the Trump immigration approach, interesting considering there's a huge 698 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: crisis on the border that is clearly of Biden's making 699 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: right now. But remember this Democrat to have a different 700 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: idea in mind of how this should, how this should 701 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: conclude than you and I do. Let's bring in our 702 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: friend Ryan Grudusky. Now he's the author of They're not 703 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: listening How the Elites created the National Populace Revolution, and 704 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: a political analyst who knows what's going on across the board. Ryan, 705 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: great to have you back, Thanks for having me. So 706 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm viewing this as as the next big move for Democrats. 707 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean they're saying this pretty clearly and loudly is immigration. 708 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: And when you look at at the way that they're 709 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,439 Speaker 1: positioning this, they try this before the Gang of Eight bill, 710 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: and that that was a fail, and it was a 711 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: fail because people got wint to what was happening and 712 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden popularity of that really turned and 713 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: Republicans were you know that that was a shift, it 714 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: seemed from what was going to be a done deal. 715 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: How do you see this playing out, this this move 716 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: toward amnesty. Well, the bill that Joe Biden has been supporting, 717 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: that's the House bill and apparently the Senate bill by 718 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: Bob and Endez. It has gotten no Republican co sponsors 719 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,879 Speaker 1: so far. In fact, Republicans who originally support the Gang 720 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: of an amnesty, I think there's only a really two left, 721 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: which is just um, it's just Lindsey Graham and Mark Rubio. 722 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: Of those, they both said they cannot support this bill 723 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: because there's I mean even Lindsay Graham, who's as weak 724 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: on immigration as anyone could possibly be he's basically a Democrat. 725 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 1: He said, there's literally nothing, there's no board enforcement in 726 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: the bill. It's it's just to give me the Democrats. 727 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: It's a Democrat wish list um and that's that's problematic 728 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: for them to try to get across the board. They 729 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: can't even get actually passed in the House right now. 730 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi said she doesn't have the votes to get 731 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 1: it passed in the Democratic controlled House, So that kind 732 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,479 Speaker 1: of tells us where we are right now on the bill. 733 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm more concerned what's happening on the actual border at 734 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: this point, because I mean, by May, estimates are that 735 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: we're going to have the biggest humanitarian christ on our 736 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: were not seen since the early two thousands of the 737 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: George W. Bush's first term, where there were there's probably 738 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 1: gonna be close to one hundred. There's over a hundred 739 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: thousand one month. Now they're probably be closer to two 740 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: hundrety thousand be coming a month by the end of 741 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: by the end by the beginning of the summer. It's 742 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: a complete disaster. And Joe Biden has gutted all of 743 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: the safeguards President Trump put in place to stop immigration. 744 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: A lot of immigration hawks. We're really not, you know, 745 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: didn't love that Trump didn't complete the wall, that he 746 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: never got, never got full reductions to immigration like he promised, 747 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: never got a merit based system. However, he did create 748 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: safeguards for illegal immigration. He created third country agreements with 749 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: other Central American countries. He created the Remaining Mexico Policy, 750 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: which ended catch and release policy that had been plaguing 751 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: in America for twenty years. He ended that all of 752 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: those policies are basically gone right now at a time 753 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: when we still have the coronavirus. I mean it's gone 754 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: down substantially, but there are there are new strains forming 755 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,760 Speaker 1: parts of the world, especially in Latin America. The EU 756 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: and the UK have cut off airplane, cut off flights 757 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: to Latin America because of these new strains coming out, 758 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden has kicked the doors open to all 759 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: these people. They're not getting COVID tested, and they're they're 760 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: being sent into the country and then they're being released 761 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: at bus stations across the Southwest. It's a recipe for disaster. Ryan, 762 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like this is going to get any better, though, 763 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: because Democrats, from what we've seen so far. Their only 764 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 1: issue with this is they don't have enough people to 765 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, process meaning bring them in, feed the feed 766 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: those they're crossing illegally. Everyone needs to understand that they're 767 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: not showing up at ports of entry because they just 768 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: want to show up. If you go to a port 769 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: of entry, it's almost like you go to the DMV. 770 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: They only take a certain number on a certain day 771 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,439 Speaker 1: and so there and they don't want to wait in line, 772 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 1: so they just walk across the border. They claim defensive asylum. 773 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: You're supposed to claim asylum at a port of entry. 774 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: People also don't know that. They say once they've been 775 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: caught illegally crossing, oh, by the way, I want asylum, 776 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 1: And they usually say they are fleeing violence in their 777 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: home country. And then they go through this process of 778 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,439 Speaker 1: you know, getting their basic biographical data take in, they're 779 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: held for a period of time, they determine what they're 780 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: going to do with them. Next, they usually let them 781 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: into the country. The Democrats aren't saying we want to 782 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: stop this and send people back. They're just saying we 783 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: need to get more people down there so we can 784 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: get the illegals in faster. Yeah, no, it's a completely 785 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: divorced from reality. I mean, the CNN poll released yesterday 786 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: found that immigration, and this is not the only poll, 787 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: but this is the most recent one, kund the immigration 788 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: is the most unpopular issue for Joe Biden. He's now 789 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: down I think the double digits among registered voters in 790 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: the country on the subjective immigration and what's going on 791 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: on the border, and it's not getting better, and they 792 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: have no answer to it. And at this point, the 793 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: only solution for Republicans the immediate solution. You know, these 794 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: attorney generals across the Southwest, in Arizona, in Texas, and 795 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 1: in other parts of this country in Florida, they all 796 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: need to be suing to get nationwide injunctions of him 797 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: repealing Trump era immigration executive orders. I mean, that's the 798 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: only solution that we have in the immediate and the 799 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: immediate or future, because this is of his ideological agenda. Remember, 800 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was moderate during the campaign on many many issues. 801 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: He was not going to do Medicare for all. He 802 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: was he was not going to gut certain institutions you 803 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: know in the left. He was never centrist at all 804 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: an immigration, he was always one of the most radical people. 805 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: He was one of people who raised his hand saying, 806 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: I want free healthcare for illegal aliens. He this is 807 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's border cross the crisis. He sat there and 808 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: has enabled this. He got protections of the Trump Trump 809 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: era protections, and he is sitting there and promising them 810 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: either amnesty and free healthcare. It is a recipe for 811 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 1: disaster and it's only going to get worse as the 812 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: immigration debate continues. Now that the coronavirus package is done, 813 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 1: and now that and now that the border search is happening. 814 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,439 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's it's just going to get 815 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: it's going It's a complete recipe for disaster. It's a 816 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis, is a national security crisis, it's an economic crisis, 817 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: and but the coronavirus, it's a health crisis. We're speaking 818 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: to Ryan Grudowsky, author. If they're not listening how the 819 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: elites created the national populous evolution, Ryan, give us a sense. 820 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: Let's say they get to they get to a bill 821 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 1: that is effectively an amnesty bill. Right, they may call 822 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: it a pathway, whatever it is. How do you see that, 823 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean kind of war game out for us? What 824 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: that would look like from the electoral map perspective. And 825 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: let's assume, and this is a whole other conversation we'll 826 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: get in right now, let's assume it is about twelve 827 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: million people that are that are covered under the amnesty bill. 828 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: I think the numbers substantially higher than that I have 829 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: for a long time, but let's assume it's twelve million. 830 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: What does that What does that mean in terms of 831 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: the chances that Republicans have to win national level elections? 832 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: That it's over. I mean, say goodbye to Texas, I 833 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: say goodbye to Arizona, say goodbye to Florida, say goodbye 834 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: to North Carolina. It's over. It's it's game set matched 835 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: the whole country's California and enjoy. I mean, it's going 836 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 1: to take a few years for that to happen, because 837 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: the amnesties do take a couple of years and to 838 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 1: get them all legs to vote. So maybe we'll have 839 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: a few good election cycles. But at that point, we're 840 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: whistling past the graveyard and it's just effectively over at 841 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,959 Speaker 1: that point. I mean, yeah, everyone keeps saying, oh, Trump 842 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: did so well with the Spanicum. Yeah, Trump did so 843 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: well Hispanics. He got thirty seven percent, it's not a majority. 844 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: He got forty one percent of Hispanic man or forty 845 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: percent of his spangment in Texas. He did well in 846 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: some areas, not well in all areas, and even in 847 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: places he's surgeon, like Chicago or the Bronx. He went 848 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: from having nine percent to twenty two percent. So is 849 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: that a surge? Absolutely? Is that going to make the 850 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: Republican Party viable with Hispanics? No? And everyone who and 851 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: I wrote this in my newsletter, that's on my sub stack. 852 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: People say, oh, Hispanics, they voted because they experienced socialism, 853 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: they were against socialism. Yes, some Hispanics did, Colombians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Cubans. 854 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,479 Speaker 1: But you know who benefited the most the surging Hispanic vote, 855 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders when he was a candidate running 856 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 1: on socialism, was winning Nevada, California. He got very close 857 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: to winning Texas. And it was all because of the 858 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: heavy Mexican population. They don't have a negative opinion about socialism. 859 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: They don't have a negative opinion ums O other other another. 860 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: That's a vast majority, even still of the illegal illegal 861 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: immigrant population. Then I'd say it's still Mexican. I mean, 862 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,760 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Central Americans now, but Mexican, 863 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: Central Americans and Puerto Ricans in pollings that have been done, 864 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: have a very positive opinion on socialism. So if the 865 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 1: idea is that they've that they've all left because of Maduro, 866 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: or they've all people right because of Maduro, no, they didn't. 867 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: They moved. They moved right in the last election because 868 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 1: of crime and because of the issues of Black Lives 869 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: Matter and colorism in the Hispanic community. That is why 870 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,359 Speaker 1: a lot of them sat there and switched their vote 871 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: in the twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. That is not 872 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: going to always be the issue, and it is not, 873 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: and they are not going to be catapulted to move 874 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: right on uneconomic issues. They just don't believe in it. 875 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: It is a recipe for I mean, we will be 876 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 1: debating between Nancy Pelosi's versions of Republican part Democratic Party 877 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,479 Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer's version. That's all will have left from 878 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 1: from their arm. How do we stop it? Ryan? How 879 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: can it be stopped? Well, I think it should be 880 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: stopped in the House. I remember Democrats have a very 881 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: very narrow margin the House. I think that the I think. 882 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they're already talked about watering down to just 883 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: ADACA amnesty, which would be bad, but it wouldn't be 884 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: as nearly as bad as a full blown amnesty. Um. 885 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: But it has to be stopped in the House. You 886 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,279 Speaker 1: have to get the Democrats who barely won their districts 887 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: in or they or they exist in Trump districts. People 888 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 1: like Golden from Maine. Um, he's in a Trump district. Uh. 889 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: The woman outside Lynchburg, Virginia. UM, I can't remember her 890 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: names of my head. She but she's in a very 891 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 1: moderate district. She would have to vote against it. And 892 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: I think that they are. And even people, even even 893 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: Hispanic Democrats on the border, Henry Kuehler and Vincent Gonzalez, 894 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: who are been raging against Biden over the border crisis, 895 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,439 Speaker 1: they'd have to sit there and stop it as well. 896 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: And I think it needs to be put in the 897 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: context at a time of a border crisis, knowing an 898 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 1: amnesty is probably the least responsible thing that you could do, 899 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: especially given that opinion polls as late as the summer 900 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: said I'm a supermajority of Americans wanted to spend all 901 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: immigration to get a handle on the coronavirus and with 902 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,399 Speaker 1: a new strans coming out of Latin America. I mean, 903 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna sit there and create a worse situation at 904 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: just as we're getting out of this entire thing. Ryan, 905 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: before we let you get back to where's your substack? 906 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: By the way, how do people subscribe?

Right? So the Lincoln Project, 914 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: it was a big story out of the New York 915 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 1: Times by Maggie Astor, who's been a fabulous journalist on 916 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: the entire story, saying that they continue to plan on 917 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: moving forward with their Lincoln Project. Media story did media project. 918 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,919 Speaker 1: They're trying to create a billion dollars media empire. They 919 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,040 Speaker 1: have half a million donors that donated to the Lincoln 920 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 1: Project throughout the twenty twenty campaign, and they're hoping that 921 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: despite the despite the now credible allegations of sexual harassment 922 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 1: of pedophilia done by Lincoln Project hop found or John Weaver, 923 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: and the fact that other CO members knew about it 924 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: and covered it up. They believe they still have the 925 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: people are willing to donate to sit there and make 926 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 1: a billion dollars fortune. And basically the story in the 927 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: New York Times showed that Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt and 928 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: m and Galen uh Gaillen Reid I believe his name 929 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 1: is sat there and um and knew about it, and 930 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: they were always plotting to use this as a way 931 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: to make millions of dollars and they made I think 932 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: twenty seven point five million dollars in twenty twenty UM. 933 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: So they it's it's all a grift and they're planning 934 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 1: on moving forward, and they think that hiding up for 935 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: pedophilia and sexual harassment doesn't doesn't mean anything to them. 936 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: Copy of They're Not Listening How the Elites Created the 937 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: National Populous Revolution by Harlan Hillen, Ryan Grdusky, Our friend, 938 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Grdusky, Thanks buddy, You
