Hey, welcome to Buck Brief. 4 00:00:21,777 --> 00:00:25,977 Speaker 1: I don't trust this TikTok ban at all, Okay. I 5 00:00:26,297 --> 00:00:30,577 Speaker 1: see what's going on here, and I understand better than 6 00:00:30,897 --> 00:00:35,057 Speaker 1: most people, almost all people, because I have a background 7 00:00:35,137 --> 00:00:39,417 Speaker 1: in intelligence and the history of espionage, and I know 8 00:00:39,777 --> 00:00:43,897 Speaker 1: how totalitarian regimes operate, actually writing a book on it, 9 00:00:43,937 --> 00:00:46,297 Speaker 1: which you will all of course be hopefully buying in 10 00:00:46,297 --> 00:00:50,137 Speaker 1: about twelve months time when it comes out. But I 11 00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:53,657 Speaker 1: understand the concerns about the Chinese surveillance and all of that. 12 00:00:54,217 --> 00:00:56,937 Speaker 1: But let's just take a step back for a moment. 13 00:00:57,777 --> 00:01:00,857 Speaker 1: First off, at the highest level, the Biden administration wants 14 00:01:00,857 --> 00:01:04,017 Speaker 1: to get this done right away. Why what's going on. 15 00:01:04,177 --> 00:01:07,097 Speaker 1: Do you trust the Biden administration? Do you think suddenly 16 00:01:07,177 --> 00:01:11,617 Speaker 1: they care a lot about the nationalscuit already of the country. 17 00:01:11,777 --> 00:01:13,857 Speaker 1: You think all of a sudden, Joe Biden's. 18 00:01:13,497 --> 00:01:14,937 Speaker 2: Like, you're not a joke. 19 00:01:15,257 --> 00:01:19,817 Speaker 1: I really you should take millions from China and now 20 00:01:19,857 --> 00:01:21,937 Speaker 1: I want to stop them from snooping on your kids 21 00:01:22,257 --> 00:01:27,337 Speaker 1: with the TikTok no, I'm sorry, something's going on here. 22 00:01:28,457 --> 00:01:31,537 Speaker 1: I just don't trust this. I know they're saying it's bipartisan. 23 00:01:31,577 --> 00:01:33,417 Speaker 1: I know a lot of Republicans that I really like 24 00:01:33,657 --> 00:01:36,017 Speaker 1: are pushing this, or at least some Republicans that are 25 00:01:36,057 --> 00:01:36,657 Speaker 1: like or pushing this. 26 00:01:36,737 --> 00:01:39,897 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of problems with this, A lot 27 00:01:39,897 --> 00:01:40,737 Speaker 2: of problems with this. 28 00:01:41,777 --> 00:01:45,257 Speaker 1: First of all, you are I know it's a forced 29 00:01:45,257 --> 00:01:51,017 Speaker 1: divestiture then ban if they don't divest bill, But you're 30 00:01:51,057 --> 00:01:57,977 Speaker 1: passing a law that's really attacking one app and you're 31 00:01:58,017 --> 00:02:04,017 Speaker 1: doing it under the notion that if you don't, China 32 00:02:04,337 --> 00:02:07,377 Speaker 1: is going to get access to American sensitive data and 33 00:02:07,417 --> 00:02:09,257 Speaker 1: information all the rest of it, and they're going to 34 00:02:09,337 --> 00:02:12,737 Speaker 1: use that against this. But but hold off second, when 35 00:02:12,817 --> 00:02:16,457 Speaker 1: has China done that with TikTok? Now, there might be 36 00:02:16,497 --> 00:02:18,657 Speaker 1: some there's some case I know as a BBC journalist 37 00:02:18,777 --> 00:02:22,777 Speaker 1: or something who says that the Chinese somehow got into TikTok, 38 00:02:22,817 --> 00:02:24,737 Speaker 1: and the Chinese are getting into stuff all the time. 39 00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:30,337 Speaker 1: The Chinese hacking and cyber operations capability is pretty terrifying. 40 00:02:30,377 --> 00:02:32,537 Speaker 1: Really a North Korea, I know, we make fun of them. 41 00:02:32,377 --> 00:02:34,417 Speaker 2: Like, oh what do they have? Dos? Like internet from 42 00:02:34,497 --> 00:02:36,017 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four. 43 00:02:37,217 --> 00:02:41,177 Speaker 1: But the North Koreans actually have a pretty sophisticated just 44 00:02:41,217 --> 00:02:47,017 Speaker 1: ask Sony Pictures sophisticated hacking operation as well, and they 45 00:02:48,017 --> 00:02:49,017 Speaker 1: have no consequences. 46 00:02:49,097 --> 00:02:49,857 Speaker 2: Right It's a. 47 00:02:49,697 --> 00:02:54,857 Speaker 1: State actor effectively operating within its own boundaries, doing whatever 48 00:02:54,897 --> 00:02:58,617 Speaker 1: cyber it wants to do, and it's so disconnected from 49 00:02:58,657 --> 00:03:01,017 Speaker 1: the web that there's really no cyber operations we can 50 00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:04,257 Speaker 1: do that are meaningful in response. Anyway, North Korea is 51 00:03:04,257 --> 00:03:05,777 Speaker 1: a problem with that, China is a problem with that. 52 00:03:06,297 --> 00:03:09,577 Speaker 1: But I just think that the focus, the enormous focus 53 00:03:09,657 --> 00:03:15,897 Speaker 1: right now on TikTok is suspect. Why would TikTok. I'm 54 00:03:15,897 --> 00:03:17,737 Speaker 1: just working you through the argument as I see it here, 55 00:03:18,097 --> 00:03:19,497 Speaker 1: or the problems as I see them. 56 00:03:19,617 --> 00:03:20,617 Speaker 2: First of all, it's a. 57 00:03:20,537 --> 00:03:25,097 Speaker 1: Bill that's punishing a company because of the theoretical abuse 58 00:03:25,377 --> 00:03:30,377 Speaker 1: of information down the line that it's acquiring. Second of all, 59 00:03:31,577 --> 00:03:35,737 Speaker 1: if TikTok were to be found to be siphoning, and 60 00:03:35,777 --> 00:03:38,497 Speaker 1: remember it's based in the TikTok arm of the company, 61 00:03:38,617 --> 00:03:42,377 Speaker 1: it's based in Los Angeles, it's headquartered here in the US, 62 00:03:42,897 --> 00:03:48,057 Speaker 1: and so if they were found to be siphoning information 63 00:03:48,217 --> 00:03:51,057 Speaker 1: back to China right in any Way, if that ever 64 00:03:51,097 --> 00:03:53,057 Speaker 1: came out, TikTok is dead as a company in the US. 65 00:03:53,097 --> 00:03:56,257 Speaker 1: I mean overnight, the stock would be worthless. Effectively, the 66 00:03:56,257 --> 00:03:58,657 Speaker 1: whole company would have to because people would be like, 67 00:03:58,697 --> 00:04:00,537 Speaker 1: oh my god, you're feeding my stuff back to China. 68 00:04:00,857 --> 00:04:01,697 Speaker 2: So think about that. 69 00:04:01,937 --> 00:04:04,337 Speaker 1: I know the Chinese will do it, they're ruthless, but 70 00:04:05,057 --> 00:04:08,657 Speaker 1: they're American employees of this company. They say they would 71 00:04:08,737 --> 00:04:11,657 Speaker 1: not comply with any China these demand for US user 72 00:04:12,537 --> 00:04:15,977 Speaker 1: data information about you know, individuals. Now you can say, 73 00:04:15,977 --> 00:04:18,097 Speaker 1: although they're lying, and I don't trust anybody, but. 74 00:04:18,577 --> 00:04:20,577 Speaker 2: Is it in their interest to lie? Really? 75 00:04:21,777 --> 00:04:24,057 Speaker 1: This company is worth I think a couple of hundred 76 00:04:24,057 --> 00:04:25,897 Speaker 1: billion dollars or something like that. I mean it's a 77 00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:28,017 Speaker 1: it's worth a lot of money. Maybe it's maybe it's 78 00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:29,337 Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars right now. 79 00:04:29,937 --> 00:04:30,817 Speaker 2: So there's that. 80 00:04:30,857 --> 00:04:32,657 Speaker 1: But the bigger problem that I have with all of this, 81 00:04:32,737 --> 00:04:34,657 Speaker 1: right so, there's passing a bill that targets a company 82 00:04:34,657 --> 00:04:37,377 Speaker 1: for something it hasn't done. Oh you don't think Democrats 83 00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:39,737 Speaker 1: will abuse that at some point in the future. Uh, 84 00:04:39,817 --> 00:04:43,057 Speaker 1: there is the I think the absurdity of like, oh, 85 00:04:43,097 --> 00:04:44,937 Speaker 1: but they're going to be spying on our kids and 86 00:04:44,977 --> 00:04:47,457 Speaker 1: I'm going this ties into my next point. But and 87 00:04:47,457 --> 00:04:50,177 Speaker 1: and China is gonna pollute our children's minds with all 88 00:04:50,217 --> 00:04:54,177 Speaker 1: the TikTok stuff, all these arguments I look at, I say, 89 00:04:54,297 --> 00:05:01,537 Speaker 1: what about Google? What about YouTube and Facebook and Instagram? 90 00:05:02,177 --> 00:05:05,337 Speaker 1: And this thing that people do where they watch other 91 00:05:05,337 --> 00:05:08,297 Speaker 1: people play video games that apparently millions of kids and 92 00:05:08,377 --> 00:05:12,137 Speaker 1: teenagers and weird dults are doing on a regular basis 93 00:05:12,217 --> 00:05:14,857 Speaker 1: watching other people play video games. Look, I think video 94 00:05:14,857 --> 00:05:16,617 Speaker 1: games are fun, don't get me wrong, But watching other 95 00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:17,377 Speaker 1: people play I don't know. 96 00:05:17,697 --> 00:05:19,377 Speaker 2: This is a thing. Apparently it's a thing. 97 00:05:20,577 --> 00:05:23,457 Speaker 1: But what about all that all these people that are 98 00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:28,377 Speaker 1: talking so tough on China and TikTok in Congress, Where 99 00:05:28,417 --> 00:05:32,177 Speaker 1: are they on the fact that Twitter before Elon bought it, now. 100 00:05:32,017 --> 00:05:35,097 Speaker 2: It's x and so he stepped up and did something. 101 00:05:35,137 --> 00:05:37,697 Speaker 1: But you know, YouTube and Google and Facebook, all the 102 00:05:37,777 --> 00:05:39,297 Speaker 1: all the big social media giants. 103 00:05:39,657 --> 00:05:40,937 Speaker 2: It's more than that. It's searched too. 104 00:05:40,937 --> 00:05:45,377 Speaker 1: It's basically the underlying Amazon, Amazon Web services, the underlying 105 00:05:45,777 --> 00:05:51,017 Speaker 1: Internet architecture is all under monopoly control. These are monopolies 106 00:05:51,057 --> 00:05:57,177 Speaker 1: now effectively, and they have so much more influence and 107 00:05:57,297 --> 00:06:00,417 Speaker 1: they will. They've already shown you. They will throw elections, 108 00:06:00,937 --> 00:06:03,017 Speaker 1: they will suppress information. 109 00:06:03,097 --> 00:06:03,777 Speaker 2: They do not like. 110 00:06:04,777 --> 00:06:08,137 Speaker 1: They are a much bigger threat to you know, it's 111 00:06:08,417 --> 00:06:11,817 Speaker 1: YouTube that's teaching your kid who's twelve, Hey, you're a boy. 112 00:06:11,857 --> 00:06:13,937 Speaker 1: You're at you actually can be a girl. Maybe you 113 00:06:13,977 --> 00:06:16,617 Speaker 1: should have gender transition surgery, which is impossible because you 114 00:06:16,617 --> 00:06:18,937 Speaker 1: can't transition your gender. But you know, maybe you should 115 00:06:18,977 --> 00:06:21,697 Speaker 1: chop off some stuff and take some hormones. It's YouTube 116 00:06:21,737 --> 00:06:24,737 Speaker 1: that is doing that. It's YouTube that does not care 117 00:06:24,777 --> 00:06:26,977 Speaker 1: when people say, oh, but buck, I'm watching. 118 00:06:26,657 --> 00:06:28,617 Speaker 2: This on YouTube. I have like five followers on YouTube. 119 00:06:28,657 --> 00:06:30,777 Speaker 1: You know why this is my eighth YouTube channel or 120 00:06:30,817 --> 00:06:32,817 Speaker 1: something over the last ten years, because they shut me down. 121 00:06:33,217 --> 00:06:35,537 Speaker 1: They shut me down over and over again. My YouTube 122 00:06:35,617 --> 00:06:38,177 Speaker 1: channel got shut down. They got shut down for masks, 123 00:06:38,337 --> 00:06:40,657 Speaker 1: they get shut down, shut down for election stuff in 124 00:06:40,657 --> 00:06:42,737 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, get shut down for you know. 125 00:06:42,777 --> 00:06:44,297 Speaker 2: Hate speech or whatever all the time. 126 00:06:45,137 --> 00:06:48,457 Speaker 1: I don't trust anybody who's a conservative who hasn't been 127 00:06:48,537 --> 00:06:50,017 Speaker 1: kicked off of YouTube. I mean, how can you be 128 00:06:50,057 --> 00:06:52,977 Speaker 1: a real conservative and have a huge YouTube following. Think 129 00:06:53,057 --> 00:06:59,297 Speaker 1: about that, because YouTube is a total monopolist, left wing cartel. 130 00:07:00,257 --> 00:07:02,537 Speaker 1: When it comes to speech and idea is they don't 131 00:07:02,577 --> 00:07:05,297 Speaker 1: care about the suppression, and in fact, they care a 132 00:07:05,337 --> 00:07:06,217 Speaker 1: lot about suppressing. 133 00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:07,697 Speaker 2: But I mean, they don't care about the First Amendment. 134 00:07:08,137 --> 00:07:10,297 Speaker 1: So anyone was like, oh, but so and So's he's 135 00:07:10,337 --> 00:07:12,297 Speaker 1: so based, he's so right wing, and he's got a 136 00:07:12,297 --> 00:07:14,617 Speaker 1: big YouTube following. I'm like, look, I do with Clay 137 00:07:14,657 --> 00:07:16,537 Speaker 1: the biggest radio show in the country. So you know, 138 00:07:16,537 --> 00:07:19,537 Speaker 1: I'm used to having a big audience. And when I 139 00:07:19,617 --> 00:07:21,617 Speaker 1: see people that have these huge YouTube channels who are 140 00:07:21,697 --> 00:07:23,977 Speaker 1: right wing or I mean, if they're doing politics, I'm like, well, 141 00:07:24,537 --> 00:07:26,777 Speaker 1: clearly you didn't say very much of interest during COVID 142 00:07:26,817 --> 00:07:30,097 Speaker 1: because you still have a channel. Clearly you were like, 143 00:07:30,137 --> 00:07:31,377 Speaker 1: take the vaccine and do all. 144 00:07:31,257 --> 00:07:32,257 Speaker 2: This other stuff. Right, So. 145 00:07:33,697 --> 00:07:35,297 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm by that it's probably gonna get 146 00:07:35,297 --> 00:07:38,377 Speaker 1: my YouTube channel. So but you know, whatever, I subscribe though, please, 147 00:07:38,417 --> 00:07:40,777 Speaker 1: nothing will piss YouTube off more than subscribing to the 148 00:07:41,217 --> 00:07:44,097 Speaker 1: Buck Brief on YouTube.

Really, we talked about it a lot at 167 00:08:35,577 --> 00:08:37,417 Speaker 1: the end of the Trump administration. They saw they talked 168 00:08:37,417 --> 00:08:39,537 Speaker 1: about it. Is anyone really saying, oh, we've got to 169 00:08:39,577 --> 00:08:42,137 Speaker 1: take action? No, no, they want their Biden administration is 170 00:08:42,257 --> 00:08:44,577 Speaker 1: urging the Senate to move quickly on this TikTok band. 171 00:08:45,097 --> 00:08:48,737 Speaker 1: You trust Joe, I mean, think about what's going on here. 172 00:08:49,017 --> 00:08:51,777 Speaker 1: Oh they're going to foresay divestiture and that will be okay. 173 00:08:51,777 --> 00:08:52,657 Speaker 2: It's not that easy. 174 00:08:53,697 --> 00:08:55,297 Speaker 1: You know, it's not that simple and straight for the 175 00:08:55,337 --> 00:08:56,897 Speaker 1: people who are also passing this bill. 176 00:08:56,897 --> 00:08:57,417 Speaker 2: They don't know. 177 00:08:57,817 --> 00:09:04,217 Speaker 1: Crap about tech, about how these how these systems work together. 178 00:09:04,417 --> 00:09:05,737 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's like and look, I'm not 179 00:09:05,817 --> 00:09:07,177 Speaker 1: saying that I'm an expert in it, but I'm not 180 00:09:07,177 --> 00:09:10,177 Speaker 1: the one who's passing a bill saying that you have 181 00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:12,857 Speaker 1: to invest the companies. So it's just more complicated. There 182 00:09:12,857 --> 00:09:15,977 Speaker 1: are problems here. It's more complicated than what people have 183 00:09:16,017 --> 00:09:17,337 Speaker 1: been led to believe. And I oh, and then tho, 184 00:09:17,337 --> 00:09:20,417 Speaker 1: it's my last objection to it, which is it's just 185 00:09:20,417 --> 00:09:22,297 Speaker 1: a way for people to pretend they're tough on China 186 00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,897 Speaker 1: while you know, we still have all of our iPhones 187 00:09:24,937 --> 00:09:28,017 Speaker 1: made there, and like six percent of all of our 188 00:09:28,057 --> 00:09:30,377 Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals are made there, and you know, we're still getting 189 00:09:30,417 --> 00:09:34,297 Speaker 1: all this stuff, all this cheap stuff from China. So 190 00:09:34,417 --> 00:09:37,537 Speaker 1: much industry that we have is actually stuff made in China, 191 00:09:38,217 --> 00:09:40,897 Speaker 1: and none of that's getting touched or and no one 192 00:09:40,937 --> 00:09:41,977 Speaker 1: wants to deal with that at all. 193 00:09:42,817 --> 00:09:43,457 Speaker 2: Right, so it's. 194 00:09:43,297 --> 00:09:45,057 Speaker 1: Easy to say, oh, get rid of TikTok. You know, 195 00:09:45,377 --> 00:09:50,257 Speaker 1: it's I think it's honestly, the whole thing is like 196 00:09:50,297 --> 00:09:53,417 Speaker 1: a scapegoat for our Week on China policy, stretching back 197 00:09:53,417 --> 00:09:54,217 Speaker 1: for thirty years. 198 00:09:54,577 --> 00:09:56,337 Speaker 2: This is what we're gonna do. We're gonna ban TikTok. 199 00:09:58,697 --> 00:10:02,257 Speaker 1: And look, you know TikTok is is the American is 200 00:10:02,297 --> 00:10:06,017 Speaker 1: so funny. The American company that is TikTok, or rather 201 00:10:06,337 --> 00:10:09,417 Speaker 1: you know, the American arm of the company Bykedance owns it. 202 00:10:09,457 --> 00:10:11,737 Speaker 1: But that on TikTok, there are a bunch of commies. 203 00:10:12,617 --> 00:10:15,257 Speaker 1: They're just as bad as the Chinese. Basically, I mean, 204 00:10:15,297 --> 00:10:17,817 Speaker 1: what what do you think? What are their politics? You know, 205 00:10:17,857 --> 00:10:20,217 Speaker 1: there are a bunch of left wing lunatics. So you know, 206 00:10:20,257 --> 00:10:22,177 Speaker 1: I've got my problems with TikTok based on that. But 207 00:10:22,257 --> 00:10:24,177 Speaker 1: this notion that, oh well, China is gonna spy on 208 00:10:24,217 --> 00:10:27,177 Speaker 1: your kids. You know, I sit there and what are 209 00:10:27,177 --> 00:10:28,457 Speaker 1: they gonna They're gonna know where I am? 210 00:10:28,657 --> 00:10:29,217 Speaker 2: Who cares? 211 00:10:29,697 --> 00:10:33,057 Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to reverse engineer what Americans like, 212 00:10:33,097 --> 00:10:34,297 Speaker 1: and then they're gonna be able to pollute all of 213 00:10:34,297 --> 00:10:36,977 Speaker 1: our minds. They're not that sophisticated about America. I hate 214 00:10:37,257 --> 00:10:39,057 Speaker 1: this is true of the Soviets. To the Soviets ran 215 00:10:39,097 --> 00:10:41,937 Speaker 1: all this anti American propaganda for decades during the Cold War. 216 00:10:42,297 --> 00:10:44,857 Speaker 1: They really didn't understand American politics very well at all. 217 00:10:45,097 --> 00:10:46,297 Speaker 2: They had terrible. 218 00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:48,577 Speaker 1: Analysts and assessments coming out of the KGB all the time. 219 00:10:48,977 --> 00:10:50,897 Speaker 1: You know China, You know what China knows. They can 220 00:10:50,937 --> 00:10:55,657 Speaker 1: buy off our elites that they know everything else they're 221 00:10:55,697 --> 00:10:59,537 Speaker 1: kind of guessing.

The Katie Britt State of 248 00:12:22,337 --> 00:12:26,377 Speaker 1: the Union response. She has now come back and said 249 00:12:26,377 --> 00:12:30,217 Speaker 1: it was awesome that she was made fun of by 250 00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:33,537 Speaker 1: hot Scarlet Johansson on Saturday Night Live. If you haven't 251 00:12:33,537 --> 00:12:37,537 Speaker 1: seen it, it's actually a very well done sketchy They 252 00:12:37,657 --> 00:12:41,057 Speaker 1: nailed it. Scarlett Johansson did an incredibly good job of 253 00:12:41,097 --> 00:12:44,417 Speaker 1: the Katie bridge State of the Union response, and I'm 254 00:12:44,417 --> 00:12:46,497 Speaker 1: glad to see that she's leaning into this because that's 255 00:12:46,537 --> 00:12:49,617 Speaker 1: the only way to handle it, The only way to 256 00:12:49,617 --> 00:12:51,337 Speaker 1: handle this is, yeah, it was funny, you know, Yeah, 257 00:12:51,377 --> 00:12:54,217 Speaker 1: I agree. I actually like I like what they did here, 258 00:12:55,897 --> 00:12:59,057 Speaker 1: So that's good. She's handling that in the way that 259 00:12:59,097 --> 00:13:02,257 Speaker 1: she should. And I think, you know, she just has 260 00:13:02,257 --> 00:13:04,497 Speaker 1: to move forward. And no one's going to remember this 261 00:13:04,577 --> 00:13:07,857 Speaker 1: thing really already, but certainly in a matter of weeks 262 00:13:07,937 --> 00:13:09,777 Speaker 1: everyone will have forgotten about it. But it is a 263 00:13:10,497 --> 00:13:15,457 Speaker 1: first of all, the GOP leadership. Are these people just 264 00:13:15,497 --> 00:13:19,337 Speaker 1: not very smart? Why was Katie Britt? Katie Britt was 265 00:13:19,377 --> 00:13:22,657 Speaker 1: the choice because they think that she's a mom, so 266 00:13:22,697 --> 00:13:25,817 Speaker 1: she'll appeal to suburban moms. 267 00:13:26,017 --> 00:13:27,217 Speaker 2: That's not how this is going to work. 268 00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:30,977 Speaker 1: The suburban moms that hate Trump. Let's be honest, they're 269 00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,657 Speaker 1: not going to stop hating Trump. And there's no woman 270 00:13:32,657 --> 00:13:34,977 Speaker 1: who's going to convince them, and certainly no VP candidate 271 00:13:35,057 --> 00:13:37,417 Speaker 1: or senator who's going to convince them to stop hating Trump. 272 00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:38,217 Speaker 2: It's just reality. 273 00:13:40,297 --> 00:13:43,057 Speaker 1: The GOP likes to play identity politics, even though they're 274 00:13:43,057 --> 00:13:45,537 Speaker 1: always saying we don't do identity politics, but they like 275 00:13:45,537 --> 00:13:47,577 Speaker 1: to play the identity politics game sometimes. 276 00:13:47,937 --> 00:13:48,857 Speaker 2: Now, oh we have to. 277 00:13:48,937 --> 00:13:51,097 Speaker 1: This is the GOP mindset, you know, we have to 278 00:13:51,137 --> 00:13:54,057 Speaker 1: have a woman or we have to have an individual 279 00:13:54,097 --> 00:13:57,057 Speaker 1: who is a minority. Give the following speech so we 280 00:13:57,097 --> 00:14:00,697 Speaker 1: can appeal to fill in the blank group. No GOP 281 00:14:00,897 --> 00:14:07,697 Speaker 1: should be and conservatism must be about ideas about things 282 00:14:07,777 --> 00:14:11,537 Speaker 1: that are true for all of us, regardless of what 283 00:14:11,577 --> 00:14:15,257 Speaker 1: your skin color is, regardless of what your sex is. 284 00:14:17,577 --> 00:14:20,457 Speaker 1: It's true for all of us because it is true. Right, 285 00:14:20,537 --> 00:14:23,937 Speaker 1: That's what our principles, our policies or ideas have to 286 00:14:23,977 --> 00:14:27,417 Speaker 1: be about that fundamental truth and not Oh but we 287 00:14:27,537 --> 00:14:32,017 Speaker 1: change things based upon those characteristics that they are so 288 00:14:32,137 --> 00:14:34,057 Speaker 1: obsessed with on the left, with the EI and all 289 00:14:34,057 --> 00:14:36,817 Speaker 1: the rest of it. So I think that the GOP 290 00:14:36,977 --> 00:14:38,097 Speaker 1: has to have a little bit of a wake up 291 00:14:38,137 --> 00:14:42,537 Speaker 1: moment here. We never get credit, so to speak, politically, 292 00:14:42,617 --> 00:14:47,017 Speaker 1: for representation. I mean, how many front page articles do 293 00:14:47,017 --> 00:14:51,617 Speaker 1: you remember seeing about Condoliezer Rice, a black woman who 294 00:14:51,777 --> 00:14:54,697 Speaker 1: was National Security advisor and then Secretary of. 295 00:14:54,617 --> 00:14:56,777 Speaker 2: State under George W. Bush. 296 00:14:56,817 --> 00:14:59,497 Speaker 1: How many times did you see her celebrated as you know, 297 00:14:59,737 --> 00:15:03,657 Speaker 1: breaking glass ceilings and and you know, uh, you know, 298 00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:08,057 Speaker 1: tributes from any corner of the media really to what 299 00:15:08,177 --> 00:15:12,417 Speaker 1: Condoleizer Rice meant at that time. I'm breaking down barriers, 300 00:15:12,737 --> 00:15:15,297 Speaker 1: none of that, none of that counted. They just say 301 00:15:15,337 --> 00:15:17,297 Speaker 1: it doesn't count at all. The same way you don't 302 00:15:17,297 --> 00:15:24,537 Speaker 1: read about the incredible legal mind and body of work 303 00:15:24,937 --> 00:15:29,217 Speaker 1: of Justins claris a Justice Clarence Thomas, and how he 304 00:15:29,337 --> 00:15:33,617 Speaker 1: is a truly great American, Yes, but a truly great 305 00:15:34,097 --> 00:15:37,857 Speaker 1: Black American. The left never even refers to him when 306 00:15:37,897 --> 00:15:41,497 Speaker 1: they talk about great black Americans, right, because they just 307 00:15:41,737 --> 00:15:44,297 Speaker 1: they act like it doesn't count. If you're conservative, it 308 00:15:44,337 --> 00:15:48,497 Speaker 1: doesn't count. And unfortunately this is true when it comes 309 00:15:48,497 --> 00:15:51,177 Speaker 1: to voting. It doesn't move the needle. Oh we're going 310 00:15:51,217 --> 00:15:53,217 Speaker 1: to have somebody who looks like the group that we 311 00:15:53,257 --> 00:15:55,137 Speaker 1: want to vote for is, then the more of them 312 00:15:55,137 --> 00:15:55,737 Speaker 1: will vote for us. 313 00:15:55,777 --> 00:15:57,057 Speaker 2: No. 314 00:15:57,057 --> 00:16:01,017 Speaker 1: No, you know, the latin the Latinos, and the the 315 00:16:01,217 --> 00:16:02,257 Speaker 1: Blacks and. 316 00:16:02,137 --> 00:16:04,457 Speaker 2: The women and the. 317 00:16:04,217 --> 00:16:07,137 Speaker 1: Asians who are going to vote Republican are going to 318 00:16:07,217 --> 00:16:11,097 Speaker 1: vote Republican because they like the idea and the stances 319 00:16:11,177 --> 00:16:13,577 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party, or they just despise Biden and 320 00:16:13,577 --> 00:16:17,057 Speaker 1: the communist Democrats. But you know, it's about the stuff. 321 00:16:17,697 --> 00:16:21,177 Speaker 1: It's not about Oh, we have more diversity and representation 322 00:16:21,257 --> 00:16:23,577 Speaker 1: now in the gopiece, and now it's okay. It doesn't work. 323 00:16:24,377 --> 00:16:26,937 Speaker 1: So that's one lesson I think that's important to take 324 00:16:26,977 --> 00:16:29,537 Speaker 1: away from all this. And then the other one is 325 00:16:29,577 --> 00:16:32,657 Speaker 1: you've just got to be authentic. You know, one thing 326 00:16:32,657 --> 00:16:34,257 Speaker 1: you know from radio. If you're gonna talk for three 327 00:16:34,257 --> 00:16:36,177 Speaker 1: hours a day like I do and have for many years, 328 00:16:36,857 --> 00:16:38,337 Speaker 1: you got to just be who you are because otherwise 329 00:16:38,337 --> 00:16:41,137 Speaker 1: you're gonna go crazy.
