1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: You know how much I love to say I told 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: you so. We might be closing in on one of them, 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: one of those big ones. We have elon musk Talk tonight. 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: We're talking about Joe Biden, the military. We have ugly 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: things happening in Sri Lanka. Why all that's coming up? 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: And I'm right some of the groups want look like 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: a fool. I put a helmet on because it's a 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: tough interview. Bike helmets do kind of look dumb, don't they. 9 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: I know I shouldn't say that. Kids wear your bike helmet, right, 10 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: it's the only it's the only brain God ever gave you, 11 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: the only one he's ever gonna give you. But man, 12 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: they do look lame. They look terrible. All that aside 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is not doing well. This is not news 14 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: to you. You know all this I'm going somewhere with. 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: It's a tang off. The guy can't walk up the stairs, 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: he can't ride a bike. He look, let's just be honest, 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: he just generally looks terrible. Those eyes look really bad. 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: The mouth hanging open thing looks really bad. And if 19 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: I'm being frank, how he walks. Have you really looked 20 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: at him walking yet when he has any kind of 21 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: extended area that he has to walk, like when he 22 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: gets off the helicopter heading into the White House. Have 23 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: you seen how Joe Biden walks, the very purposeful way 24 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: he walks. Why do you think that is so I'm 25 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: going somewhere here? Remember, this is a president. The President 26 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: of the United States of America has world changing decisions 27 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: he makes regularly. That's just part of being the head 28 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: of the most powerful country on the planet. That's part 29 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: of that part of the job as a president of 30 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: the United States of America as you are directing affairs 31 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: on a world stage. Joe Biden is so cognitively impaired broken. 32 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what word we want to put on that. 33 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: He can't read a teleprompter. Do you know what it's 34 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: like when you have a teleprompter, if you ever had one. 35 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: I've had a couple of situations where I've had one. 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: We don't have one here on the first that is 37 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: through this off the top of my head. But it's 38 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: not uncommon to have a teleprompter when you Tube TV, 39 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: and I want you to understand something. When you're reading 40 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: a teleprompter, it's very very clear the words you're supposed 41 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: to read, and they make it very clear when like, oh, 42 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: I don't know end of quote is put there because 43 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: they put it in these little boxes. It's not something 44 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: you have to be a genius to figure out. It's 45 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: very evident on the teleprompter. And yet the president still 46 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: can't read one noteworthy that the percentage of women who 47 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: register the vote and cast the ballot is consistently higher 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: than the percentage of the men who do so. End 49 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: of quote. Repeat the line, rd quote, repeat the line, 50 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: random quote, repeat the line, random quote, repeat the line. Embarrassing. 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: The president of the United States of America makes decisions 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: that affect the world, and yet he can't think on 53 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: his feet enough to read a teleprompter. And so what's 54 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: the White House do? Well? This White House does what 55 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: they've honestly mastered. In less than two years. They have 56 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: mastered this flat out lying about it. The White House. 57 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: They edited the official transcript. Think about how wild this is. 58 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: They edited the trans transcript to make it sound like 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: he said, let me repeat the line, which I and 60 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: the team here we actually slowed it down for you 61 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: for a reason, and you listen several times, that's not 62 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: what he said. Anyone with two years knows that's not 63 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: what he said, but they don't care. Just brazen lies 64 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: at all times. And we're getting to my prediction. Just 65 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: hang with me here for a second. Joe Biden on 66 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: top of you know, standard flubs like this and look 67 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: looking like an idiot in his bike helmet. Joe Biden 68 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: appears to be losing the culture he does. You know, 69 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Brypbart said politics is downstream of culture. It's true. Joe 70 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: Biden has lost card carrying Democrat Snoop Dogg. And don't 71 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: get wrong, We're not going to start lining up behind 72 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg. But Snoop Dogg, you know, he's a big 73 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: weed guy. The Devil's let us. He has a sleepy 74 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Joe og quote. You won't even remember what country you 75 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: are in that you can scoff at that, Jesse. That 76 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Who cares about Snoop Dogg? Oh, I don't 77 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: know the seventy four million people who follow him on Instagram. 78 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't care. You don't care, but a lot of 79 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: people do care, which brings me to our point. Joe 80 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Biden fifty eight percent disapproval, disapproval, thirty percent approval. That 81 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: gap that's the biggest and recorded history. Gas prices are high, 82 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: inflation is high, people are miserable, people are angry. So 83 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: where am I going with all this? Do you remember 84 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: what I said back in April? I don't want to 85 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: act like this is the first time I said this, 86 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: so I'm actually just gonna play me from back in April. 87 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: I think the powers that be are tired of Joe Biden, 88 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: frustrated with him, and I think this entire thing is 89 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: a coordinated effort to get Joe Biden to resign after 90 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: the midterms. What do we see over the weekend? Almost 91 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: like a snowball effect. It went way more than it 92 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: went way beyond Snoop Dogg in his weed. Well, we 93 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: saw a gigantic hack of Hunter Biden's information. And I'm 94 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: not going to play these things for you on this 95 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: show because they're not family friendly at all. But let's 96 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: just say there was a whole lot there with Hunter Biden, 97 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden, drugs, all kinds of illegalities and things 98 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm not going to elaborate on. Okay, so Hunter Biden's 99 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: a grease fire. That's not new. Well, here's what is new. 100 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: The New York Times attacking Joe Biden. Understand that The 101 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: New York Times is probably the most despicable publication in 102 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: the United States of America. You could make an argument 103 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: the paper itself should be broken up and disbanded for treason, 104 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: for high treason. They are absolutely and have been the 105 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, and yet they're running headbines 106 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: now that say quote at seventy nine, Biden is testing 107 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: the boundaries of age and the presidency. The New York 108 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: Times is now openly slipping a knife into the ribs 109 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. And let me tell you something, This 110 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: article went way beyond a headline. They go on to 111 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: say they had to postpone trips for Joe Biden so 112 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: he could get rested up and properly functioned. There's a 113 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: bunch of really ugly stuff in there. So you have 114 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: the Hunter stuff, you have the Joe looking like a 115 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: Dufus stuff. They're even asking Domes some very pointed questions 116 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden's viability for twenty twenty four. There is 117 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: speculation among some Democrats and some Republicans that President Biden 118 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: won't run for reelection in twenty twenty four. What's your 119 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: message to those who say that, listen to President Biden. 120 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: He intends to run and if he yes, I intend 121 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: to run with him. So there you go. Why is 122 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: that funny? She's so awkward. But still, this is something 123 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: that's happening right now. Joe Biden is not functional. He's 124 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: not in control. It's very obvious now from pictures and 125 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: video we have that he's being handled by everyone, including 126 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: his wife Jill Biden Knew, who's been seen publicly scolding 127 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: him multiple times. We have a deteriorating old man as 128 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: president of the United States of America who has to 129 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: be led around by his nose. And speaking of Jill Biden, 130 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: you ever heard of the name of Gary Veleski, former 131 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: three star general. He's now a consultant, you know, government contracts. 132 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: That's the general life. When you retire, you generally still 133 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: get paid to go do some consulting work. Well, he said, 134 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: glad to see you finally know what a woman is 135 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: on social media on Twitter actually to Jill, he's fired. Now, yeah, 136 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: he's fired. You see, you can't criticize the regime. Why 137 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: is this general fired? Because Democrats actually take their purge 138 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: of the military very seriously. They would never allow anyone 139 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: to serve who might even slightly question anything about them. Republicans, however, 140 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: they love doing that. They love making every excuse in 141 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: the book for useless generals, useless admirals, people with a 142 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: bunch of ribbons on their chest. I mean, I've pointed 143 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: this out. Maybe you've seen this, but this female Army 144 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: soldier is comfortable going on video, sitting there on video 145 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: on her phone, recording herself questioning her loyalty to the 146 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: United States of America. Why would a soldier feel comfortable 147 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: saying this. I have thoughts. I have thoughts that I 148 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: have questions, and it happened. It happened. I woke up 149 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: from an app to this on deployment. I woke up. 150 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm an app to this news. America is waking up 151 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: to this news. I just extended my contract to continue 152 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: serving this country a week ago. How am I supposed 153 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: to swear to support and defend the Constitution and a 154 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: country that treats its women like second class citizens? How 155 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: am I supposed to do that? I felt totally comfortable 156 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: putting that out online. I just want to be clear 157 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: that human being should be discharged from the military, and 158 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: for most of America's history would have been discharged from 159 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: the military. But sleep tight at night as China puts 160 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: aircraft carriers into the South China Sea and Russia and 161 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: Iran are joining with China to mobilize against us, that 162 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: human being there is going to be on the front 163 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: lines protecting you. Why does this happen? Why she feel 164 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: comfortable because she knows as long as you're a card 165 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: carrying liberal, you're going to be fine in the military. 166 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: She'll probably get promoted. I mean, after all, she believes 167 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: in abortion. You see, our militaries become a disgusting social 168 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: experiment where they spend hour after hour after hour examining whiteness, 169 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: making sure they're gay enough, and making sure the women 170 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: are comfortable. What they don't do, apparently, though, is actually 171 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: tie down the super Hornet fighter jets on the aircraft 172 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: carriers because oh, I don't know, we just lost one 173 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: in the Mediterranean. The wind blew it off the aircraft carrier. 174 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: We can't even remember as a navy to secure our 175 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars fighter jets to the deck. We do, however, 176 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: know just how evil America is. All that may have 177 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: made you uncomfortable, but I'm right. We're going to talk 178 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: to Dave Rieboy about Joe in my theory that they're 179 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: going to push him out after the mid terms here 180 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: in just a moment. But let's talk about not every 181 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: company's trash. Now. It feels like they are. Sometimes we 182 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: feel surrounded. You do, I do. It feels like they 183 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: own it all. Not every company's trash. You have options 184 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,599 Speaker 1: out there, you just have to go find them. Health insurance. 185 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: Where do you get your health insurance from? Do they 186 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: share your values? You know one share Health does share 187 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: your values. They are a faith based company.

We'll be back each morning. The 197 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing 198 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: on the most important issues facing the country. It's called 199 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by America's 200 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your very 201 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by 202 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.

Marjorie stonewin Douglas High schoo in Parkland, Florida, 207 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen, seventeen dead seventeen, nineteen eighteen. That's weird. I've 208 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: always thought Parkland was twenty eighteen. But anyway, I have 209 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: a theory, and I'm gonna run it by Dave because 210 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: he'll tell me if he thinks I'm stupid. Joining me 211 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: now is my friend Dave Reeboy. Highly recommend you go 212 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: subscribe to his sub stack Late Republic nonsense. He's also 213 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: senior fellow Claremont Institute. Dave, I say he's gone after 214 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: the midterms, not not fifteen minutes after. But we got 215 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: the new York Times running hip pieces on him. He's 216 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: not popular. They're gonna get crushed in the mid terms. 217 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: I say they scapegoa to him and shuttle him right 218 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: out of the White House at some point a month 219 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: or two after for health reasons or something. What say you, Yeah, 220 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you. I think it's it's 221 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: pretty clear now that we've seen let's say, I coordinated 222 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: attack from all quarters, and you know it's it's coming 223 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: from the media. I think there are Look, I mean, 224 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: for as far as the American people are concerned, we've 225 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: for long time thought that this guy was, you know, 226 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: kind of mentally checked out and out to pasture um. 227 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: But I think what's what's happening is he's, uh, he's 228 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: facing a revolt among Democrat partisans who are just you know, 229 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: freaked out that that that this guy can't even drag 230 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: himself across the Bay. He can't even be dragged by 231 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: the media across the finish line, which is a kind 232 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: of big deal. So I think I agree with you. 233 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: They're going to get rid of him as us as 234 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: soon as possible. But you know, as as as you know, 235 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: they're in a bit of a pickle because they don't 236 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: have a a you know, they don't have really anyone 237 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: on deck that is at all inspiring or palatable. You 238 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: know what. We'll actually get to that in a second. 239 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: I want I want to pick your brain real quick 240 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: about the Left being anger as Joe Biden. Now, I 241 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: know some reasons dave reeboy doesn't like Joe Biden, and 242 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: obviously you know why I don't like Joe Biden. That's that. 243 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: I get that. But these card carrying communists aren't mad 244 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: at him for the same reasons we're mad at him for. 245 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: Why are they mad at him? He's done everything in 246 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: my opinion, he could possibly do to trash this place 247 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: in a year and a half. Well, yeah, I mean 248 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: there are a couple of reasons for that. Number one is, look, 249 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean they think he is not going far enough 250 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: and fast enough. So there's there's a bit of that, 251 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: there's a bit of that kind of disappointment with with 252 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: him not you know, ushering in full Communism on their 253 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: particular fast timeline. Number one. Number two is he just 254 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: he can't speak and the fact that he can't speak. 255 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: Someone pointed I'm forgetting who who pointed this out, but 256 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: policy is really not so much is not all that 257 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: important to the left at this point. What they want 258 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: is they want someone to emote kind of ideologically, they 259 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: want someone to really get in, you know, our faces. 260 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden can do a little bit of that 261 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: on one hand, but on the other hand, he's just 262 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: not he's just not coherent. And and look, I mean, 263 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: we we saw we saw in the last like let's say, 264 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: the in the last week, it's really been kind of 265 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: uh ticking ticking upward about how everyone is disappointed in 266 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: in Biden. And I think it's it's really significant that 267 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: we don't see one particular name, or really two names mentioned. 268 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: One is is uh is Susan Rice, and the other 269 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: one is Ron Klaine, who are both you know, joined 270 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: at the hip running this administration clearly behind the scenes, 271 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: um uh you know, in lieu of Joe Biden. You know, 272 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean they kind of sit Joe Biden in a 273 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: room and tell him you do this, you do that 274 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: while while he sits and you know, plays with with 275 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: his ice cream. But but they're really running the show. 276 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: And I think it's fascinating that you have not heard 277 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: those two names at all mentioned in the in the 278 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: press coverage nobody is going after them. Nobody is blaming 279 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: them for what they perceive to be this administration's, you know, 280 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: policy or communications inadequacies. Everyone has just kind of pointed 281 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: fixed at at Biden himself, which leads me to believe 282 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: that that you know, it's coming from within the House, 283 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: as they say, well, which brings us to what you 284 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, the backup plan. It's easy for you and 285 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: me and everyone else to point at what a disaster 286 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: Joe is and say he's going to be gone. But 287 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: they're not just going to lay down and let Trump 288 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: or a scientists or whoever taken in twenty twenty four. 289 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: They're going to come up with some kind of a plan. 290 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: They always rally around one guy. Who's it going to be? 291 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: I've said Eric Adams just for lack of options, Dome 292 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: can't do it, everyone hates her. Pete's too gay to 293 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: win a Democrat primary, you can't get the black vote. 294 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: I'd say it has to be someone like Adams. Right, Yeah, Look, 295 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm awful bad at this. I'm 296 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: very I've I'm historically terrible at guessing who the Democrats 297 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: may made prop up. Look all this time I thought 298 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris was going to be a shoe in 299 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: the last time around, because she checks off all of 300 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: the boxes for the left. Um, but they couldn't get 301 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: her above what two percent in the Democratic primaries, and 302 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: what they do, they went with the old white guy 303 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: who's basically senile and and and and Kamala Harris. I mean, 304 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: if there's anyone who is less popular than Joe Biden, 305 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: it's Kamala Harris. And then you throw in there some 306 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: of the other ones, you know, you throw in there. 307 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, who they're talking about. I mean, Gavin Newsom 308 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: is is absolutely as hum as I mean, he's as 309 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: desirous of that position and ambitious as as you can be. Um. Yeah, 310 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean he's another white guy who looks like American 311 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: psycho and um and kind of acts like it too. 312 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: I don't know how he'll do in a Democratic primary. 313 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how he'll do with the kind of 314 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: Democratic powerbrokers that that really decide these things. I mean, 315 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: we've seen it. We saw it. I think after the 316 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: Obama upset victory in two thousand and eight over Hillary Clinton. 317 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: Really since then, the Democratic Party clamped down and they 318 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: said okay, we're not going to, um, you know, we're 319 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: not going to let the people decide any of this, 320 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: which kind of was one reason why they they they 321 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: they they tried to suffer Bernie's chances in in twenty 322 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: sixteen in favor of Hillary. So it's and they did 323 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: the same thing with Biden, really, you know, I mean, 324 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: Biden was just propped up by the Democratic establishment. So 325 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see what happens. I think the lesson 326 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: is that there doesn't really have to be that much 327 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: of a connection between folks between the candidates that the 328 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: Democratic Party offers and the people who who will who 329 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: will vote for them. I mean, the party will just 330 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: decide on who it is, and that's that's what it'll be. Um. 331 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this was the case in the Republican Party 332 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: for a long time until Donald Trump. Yeah, all right, Dave, 333 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: let's let's ask I know you've seen the Hunter Biden stuff, 334 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: the videos to whatever to be To be frank, it 335 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: maybe feel kind of bad for Hunter Biden. Clearly just 336 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: a grease fire of a human being, an addict, somebody 337 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: who's going to be a mess his entire life. But 338 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: it really is a big deal if the president's son 339 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: is a crackhead on video with Ladies of the Night 340 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: making illegal deals with China. It really is a big deal. Well, 341 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: it's the last part that brings it into kind of 342 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: national security threat zone. Um. Look, I mean, even if 343 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be making deals with China, or with the Russians, 344 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: with the Ukrainians, or really god knows who else at 345 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: this point, Um, it would be a bad thing because 346 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: it would open up the president to blackmail. It would 347 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's always kind of ugly and 348 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: uh and in a crisis. But then when you add 349 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: to the fact that this guy was, um, the the 350 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: main instrument for for enriching the Biden family personally based 351 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: on you know, based on Benny's that could be gotten 352 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: from the US government and Joe Biden's position as vice 353 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: president and president. Um, I mean this is really really serious, 354 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: seriously criminal stuff. And I mean we're looking at the 355 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: videos and of course it, um, it's shocking some of 356 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: the you know, you see him with crack you see 357 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: him doing all kinds of insane stuff naked. I mean, 358 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: all of that is crazy and kind of tabloid fodder. 359 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: But let's not forget the fact that these people are 360 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: making bank off of um, you know, off of their 361 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: position as as you know, of the public trust that 362 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: that is kind of entrusted to them. Um. This is like, 363 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: this is some of the worst, nastiest, most grotesque corruption 364 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: that this country has ever seen. I mean it's it's 365 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: it's definitely the most base and degenerate corruption, corruption scandal 366 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: that that I think that the presidency has ever seen. 367 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: And the media doesn't want to cover it. Yeah, daveree 368 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: boy late Republic nonsense is a sub stack. Thank you, Dave. 369 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: Thank you. Great to see you Sri Lanka. I don't 370 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: expect you to care about Sri Lanka. I mean maybe 371 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: you're a big fan, but I don't expect you to 372 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: care about it. But you should be paying attention to it, 373 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: So should I. What's happening there? I think this, I 374 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: think this is bigger than you think. Are bigger than 375 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: I think. We're going to talk to our friend Brian 376 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: Dean Wright about that next. Should we be paying attention? 377 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: Is this a big deal or is it a small deal? 378 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: We'll find out before we find that out. Let me 379 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: give away the farm a little bit here. I do 380 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: believe we are on the verge of something global, though 381 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: the globe changes sometimes and powers that be get cast 382 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: out these things generally domino. That's how things go. I 383 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with our country with anything. 384 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen with 385 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: the dollar. But you hear what they're saying about inflation. 386 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: You don't need me to tell you. I do know this. 387 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: No matter what happens with government's currency, whatever, gold will 388 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: have value. You know how. I know that because I 389 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: read history books and they were killing each other for 390 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: gold two thousand years ago, and before that, it's always 391 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: been worth a fortune. Oxford Gold Group will deliver it 392 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: to your front door, to your front door. They're super 393 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: laid back and easy to work with. I'm not telling 394 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: you to do anything crazy. Just be ready, protect yourself. 395 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: Eight three three nine nine five Gold. Tell them Jesse 396 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: told you to call eight three three nine nine five gold. Hen. 397 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: That is Sri Lanka and that's the Prime Minister's house 398 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: that is now on fire. Actually maybe it's burned to 399 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: ash now. Either way, it's been burning for a while. 400 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: And do you remember back in May of twenty twenty two. 401 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: A gentleman you may recognize, Brian Dean Wright came on 402 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: the show and he had this to say. India normally 403 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: a big exporter to the world. Unfortunately they're having tremendous 404 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: amounts of problems in terms of weather. They're not getting 405 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: a crop this year, so they can't export to make 406 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: up for all the loss. It would have otherwise come 407 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: from Russia in Ukraine. So for instance, they usually send 408 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: weak to a little country called Sri Lanka just south 409 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: of India itself. They are down about forty from their 410 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: wheat supplies. That's feeding riots and indeed the prime minister 411 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: of that country was thrown out because of it. So 412 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: a big impact that we are seeing in places in Asia. 413 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: Indonesia is another big place as well. That is what 414 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: you call calling your shot, right there, Brian Dean Right, 415 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: host of of course, the Great President's Daily Brief podcast 416 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: less than twenty minutes. You're caught up on the news 417 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: every single day. Brian. Look as a man who loves 418 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: to gloat and say I told you so, I'm just 419 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: gonna let you look. You round the bases at whatever 420 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: pace you feel like rounding the bases. Brian, please take 421 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: it away. Look, some people call me Nostre Damas. It's true. 422 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: They will call me miss Cleo. He's also famous for 423 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: the Brandies resemblance. Pretty striking. As you can tell. I'm 424 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: a big deal, not as big as you, Jesse, but 425 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: I try all right it all say is this you 426 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: called it? But explain why we're seeing what we're seeing. 427 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: Let's be frank, no disrespect to them. Most Americans could 428 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: not even find Sri Lanka on a map and don't 429 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: have any idea why this may in any way be 430 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: relevant to them. They just see another country somewhere having 431 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: some political problems. What are we looking at? Yeah, so 432 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: you start this out exactly as we should. Why do 433 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: we care? Well, We're about to dive into it, and 434 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,959 Speaker 1: I want people to really listen and think, Hey, that 435 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: kind of sounds like some stuff that America is going through. 436 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: That's the scary part of this. Sri Lanka used to 437 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: be a pretty rich country in South Asia, and guess 438 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: what they went from rich too. You can see storming 439 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: the president's palace. So here we go. There are three 440 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: big reasons that you're seeing this happen. First, debt, right, 441 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: so for about ten years, the regime in Sri Lanka, 442 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: which was actually quite loved and embraced. They took on 443 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: tons and tons of billions of dollars worth of debt. 444 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: Well that's a problem in no small part when you 445 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: can't start pain off right. And by the way, the 446 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: debt is controlled at at least ten percent of it, 447 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: if not more, by China United States just as an aside, 448 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: the communist control over a trillion dollars of our debt. 449 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 1: So nevertheless, so we've got all this debt in Sri Lanka. 450 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: The second thing COVID, So the Sri Lankan government locks 451 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: down its country. Well that's a problem because they really 452 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: need tourist dollars. Well, they went down ninety one percent 453 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: on the number of tourists who came into the country, 454 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: and that means a massive revenue source just disappeared within weeks. 455 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: All right, So now we've got massive debt, we've got 456 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: no income, a very little income. But the income that 457 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: the Shri Lankans did have came from agriculture. So brilliantly, 458 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: the Sri Lankans said, let's go to organic farming. The 459 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: environmentals were pushing the Sri Lankan government to embrace organic farming, 460 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: and they did overnight. They said all fertilizers and all 461 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: pesticides were illegal BANDOM. So you have thirty percent of 462 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: Sri Lankans who are involved in the AGG community, farmers 463 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: who wake up one morning and suddenly they can't farm anymore, 464 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: or at least they have no pesticides, no fertilizers to 465 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: make their crops grow. What do you think happened, Well, 466 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: anybody who is a farmer, or you have to be 467 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: a farmer to know it's probably going to happen next. 468 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Yields collapse twenty seventy percent of reduction and yields for 469 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: things like rice. Well that's a big deal because Sri 470 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: Lankans really you'll consume a lot of rice, and they 471 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: exported to get that foreign exchange or that money. Right, 472 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: So now the Sri Lankans have very massive amounts of debt, 473 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: they have no tourist money, and they just kneecap themselves 474 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: with having no agg industry and they can't feed themselves. 475 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: It's another they're importing all kinds of food. Well, that 476 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: leads up to the last couple of months to include 477 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: the wheat wars. They're running out of wheat and rice 478 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: and lots of other things. They have very few props 479 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: left to export, and now the government gets tossed out 480 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: buildings or burning down the presidential palaces occupied by people 481 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: were and out in the bathroom and the pool enjoying themselves. 482 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: So it's a mess that country went from one of 483 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: the richest to one of the poorest, in fact, in 484 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: the midst of anarchy. Brian, should we care? I mean 485 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: on a global level, obviously, setting aside the violence and 486 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: stuff there, should we worry about things like this spreading 487 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: to places that do matter a lot to us personally 488 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: speaking selfishly as an American. Yeah, So I think what 489 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: this is, this is sort of like the canary in 490 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: the coal mine, where you're starting to see a lot 491 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: of countries out there in the world who have a 492 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: lot of debt, who have struggled or suffered because of 493 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns and COVID policies that were really silly. And 494 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: now we have this sort of green new deal idea. 495 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: It's been floating around for a while, the World Economic 496 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: Forum really pushing it. So you have this global machinery 497 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,719 Speaker 1: that's kind of pushing in the same direction that Sri 498 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: Lanka has gone in and that's what I think is 499 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: really concerning. Our countries are following the course of the 500 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: World Economic Forum and others. This green climate change stuff. Again, 501 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: think what you will about carbon dioxide emations and so forth. 502 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: The point is, if you don't manage all of that process, well, 503 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: you could be in big trouble. So our trade partners, 504 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: the people who import the stuff that we create. You 505 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: keep our factories churning if those governments start going under 506 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: it and you start having these little mini revolutions. Yeah, 507 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: it's a really big deal for Americans because they need 508 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: our stuff and we want to sell it to them. 509 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: But that's pretty pretty card when the country is erupted 510 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: and they have no fuel, they have no food, and 511 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: there's anarchy everywhere. Yeah, Bryan, what's going on with the 512 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: natural gas wars? We're hear a lot about natural gas. 513 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: Everyone talks about oil this and oil that. Natural gas 514 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: doesn't get exactly the same kind of love and attention. 515 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: But there's something going on out there. What's going on? Yeah, 516 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: a really big deal. A couple of weeks ago in Kentucky, 517 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: an aluminum plant or mill shut down all because they 518 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: couldn't afford the natural gas price. Well, that's strange though, 519 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: because we actually produce a lot of it in this country. 520 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: But as it turns out, because you need so much 521 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: of it, because the Russians are no longer giving us 522 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: as much natural gases they used to back, that numbers 523 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: down about sixty percent from normal. Well, there's this massive 524 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: market and a huge demand and a big price or 525 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: a big premium that the Europeans are paying, and so 526 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: our oil and gas companies understandably want a chunk of that. 527 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: So they're exporting what we produce about seventy five percent 528 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: of that what used to be about thirty five percent. Well, 529 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: that means here we have less supplied, same demand or 530 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: a similar demand. That means prices are going to go 531 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: up here. And not just for companies like aluminum companies 532 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: that really need that natural gas to create their products, 533 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: but it's also natural gas electricity plants, you know, folks 534 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: who power our homes. So when your electricity bill starts 535 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: going up, it might be because your plant that produces 536 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: your electricity needs natural gas. And the prices have gone 537 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: up by about threefold just in the past few months. 538 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: So yes, we should be very concerned about what's happening 539 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: in Europe there are biggest export trade partners, so yes, 540 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,719 Speaker 1: we should be very much concerned. But it turns out 541 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: we're actually exporting a whole bunch of our natural as 542 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: to help take care of them, and it's disadvantaging us 543 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: in this country, especially at the very moment when our 544 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: economy can least afford the kind of big economic punches 545 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: that we're starting to see all because of inflation. Okay, 546 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: how should we be handling this? I'm sure Biden's going 547 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: to screw it all up, but if you were running 548 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: the show, how would you handle this? Well? The first 549 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: pieces production, man, Look, most of our natural gas comes 550 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: from our oil field, right, it's a byproduct, So we 551 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: need more drilling and we need to capture more of 552 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: that natural gas. That's not an overnight thing, but that 553 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: needs to be something that happened yesterday. Right. Second, there 554 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: needs to be a conversation which with our oil and 555 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 1: gas companies to say, look, if you keep more of 556 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: your natural gas in this country, we're going to compensate 557 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: to you. That is to say, the federal government tax credits, 558 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: whatever it might be, and then can we negotiate a 559 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: deal with rather than seventy five percent you come back 560 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: down to say sixty five or seventy percent. Make sure 561 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: that you keep this economy going, because as much as 562 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: we want to make money, as much we want to 563 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: help the Europeans, we got a little bit of America 564 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: first year that we have to take care. But really 565 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: all those are kind of band aid solutions. The bigger 566 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: challenge here is the war between Ukraine and Russia. That 567 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: war has to be brought to a peaceful conclusion because 568 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: that's really driving all of this. So the question is 569 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: how do you do that? Well, that's another show. But 570 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: the bottom line is the President should be absolutely one 571 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: laser focused by any and all means necessary to get 572 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: both Ukrainians and the Russians to the negotiating table. I've 573 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: got some ideas, but the bottom line is it not easy, 574 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: but that's where we need to focus. Yeah, Brian Dean, Right. 575 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: The President's daily brief is the podcast go Subscribe. Thank 576 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: you brother. You bet your Elon Musk is buying Twitter, 577 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: but he's not buying Twitter, and that he is, then 578 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: he's not. I can't keep track of all this, should 579 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: we even care?

He's 599 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: not gonna buy Twitter. But he is gonna buy Twitter. 600 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: And that he's not gonna buy Twitter. I can't keep 601 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: track of all this or why it matters, so let's 602 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: bring in some experts. Our favorite tech expert, care Frederick, 603 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: research fellow with the Heritage Foundation and also former Facebook employee. 604 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: She knows what she's talking about. Okay, Kara, what exactly 605 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: is going on with Elon Musk? Is he buying it? 606 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: He's not buying into what were you seeing here? You know, 607 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: I think everybody is pretty much in the dark at 608 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: this point. We're subject to the whims of Elon. I 609 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: guess that it's his world, right, we're just living in it. 610 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: He is the richest man in the world, and he's 611 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: throwing us all for a loop. So on Saturday, when 612 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: the news broke that Elon was pulling out of this 613 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: forty four billion dollar takeover, you know, I was pretty crestfallen. 614 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: I kind of thought this might be the stake in 615 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: the heart of all of it, But I don't think so. 616 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: At this point, I think that he has something else 617 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: up as sleeve, because since April when he announced that 618 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: he was gonna go through with this takeover, we've seen 619 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: that he's been kind instantly setting himself up for more 620 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: advantageous terms, and at this point I'm kind of wondering 621 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: he might be doing the same thing again. We do 622 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: know that Twitter is in a bind here because they've lost, 623 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: according to the Wall Street Journal, eleven billion dollars since 624 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: Elan announced the takeover in April. So they're saying, Okay, 625 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: we really want Elon to actually stay true to his 626 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: word and buy this company. But he says Twitter has 627 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: committed a material breach of the takeover agreement. They haven't 628 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 1: been honest about the bot count. In SEC filings, Twitter 629 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: basically said we have about five percent of bots on 630 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: our platform, and Elan said, no, I'm going to cobble 631 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: together a team in two months of people to actually 632 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 1: assess how many bots are on this platform. On Friday, 633 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: they said we actually couldn't do it. They suspected upwards 634 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: of twenty percent, maybe even twenty five, but they realized 635 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: they couldn't reach that number. So Elan saying, Okay, you're 636 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: still in material breach. You've made actual changes to the 637 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: platform without Mike, so therefore I'm pulling out of the deal. 638 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: And Twitter is saying no, no, no no, no no. If 639 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: you want to do that, you have to either pay 640 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: one billion dollars, but we want you to take over 641 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: the company. So I see a protracted legal battle ahead, 642 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: It's not over yet, Okay, Kira, I want to rewind 643 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: real quick to a couple of things you said. One 644 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: you said Twitter lost eleven billion dollars? Why and how so? 645 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: This is market value, as again reported by the Wall 646 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: Street Journal, because we've seen Elon said that he was 647 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: going to buy Twitter at fifty four dollars and twenty 648 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: cents a share. Now Twitter is basically closing well under that. 649 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: Because of everyone has basically been trying to figure out 650 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: is Elon serious? Is he really going to do this? 651 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: Is this just a artifact of him being the shi 652 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: t poster on Twitter that he actually is, or is 653 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: he just generating chaos? Does he just want thea, the accolades, 654 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: or is he really trying to point out that Twitter 655 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: has frankly undermined its credibility pretending to be a neutral platform. 656 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: So the vacillations of the market I think have sort 657 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: of followed the chaotic nature of this takeover agreement. And 658 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: people know that, you know, Twitter, Elon was gonna pay 659 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: overpay frankly for Twitter. So it looks like he's trying 660 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: to get back to baseline, trying to get to where 661 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: what Twitter is actually worth. Kara Zuckerbucks. We hear a 662 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: lot about Zuckerbucks one, what is its two? Or states 663 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: going after this thing? Now, what's happening? Yeah, so this 664 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: is really interesting. So Mark Zuckerberg in the twenty twenty 665 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: election basically took four hundred and nineteen million dollars and 666 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: gave it to a nonprofit, the Center for Technology and Civics, 667 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: and he basically and what they did with that money 668 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: was use it to pay activists, use it to work 669 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: in swing states on behalf of Democratic pauses, and Democrat 670 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: candidates get poll watchers that were actually activists, etc. Etc. 671 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 1: So it's essentially Mark Zuckerberg taking his Facebook fortune and 672 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: giving it to swing states on behalf of Democrats, and 673 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: we all know what happened in the twenty twenty election. 674 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: Very very dicey there. So it looks like Zuckerberg did 675 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: actually have some impact on what went on during twenty twenty. 676 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: And now states are saying, hey, this is not exactly 677 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: above board, So we are going to basically place a 678 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: ban on Zuckbucks. We're not going to allow these big 679 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: tech oligarchs to swing an election as as as he 680 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: did pretty much in twenty twenty. So good thing that 681 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: a lot of these states are moving out. There's a 682 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: Capital Research Center has done a lot of work here 683 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: on which states have decided to effectively create legislation to 684 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: prevent this from happening, and surprise, surprise, most of them 685 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 1: are read states. But I say, let's go, let's keep 686 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: doing this. We can't let big tech oliguards change the 687 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: election as much or influence the election rather as much 688 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: as they have in the past. Finally, Nita Ja Jakowitz 689 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: Chinkowitz whenever we want to call her, she was on CNN, 690 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: had this to say over the weekend. I felt like 691 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: the government had just rolled over to the critics who 692 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: had completely spun this narrative out of control based on 693 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing in reality. And the fact that they weren't 694 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: able to defend me, the person that they had chosen, 695 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: the expert that they had chosen to lead this board 696 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: and safeguard this work. It just didn't feel like it 697 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: was worth it, especially give the fact that my family 698 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: was receiving threats. Kia, you guys are going after the 699 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: DHS at Heritage too. Why Because the Biden administration, in 700 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: particular the DHS, has shown that it's willing to weaponize 701 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: the national security apparatus against the American people. You look 702 00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: at Nina Jankowitz, and this woman wouldn't know dis information 703 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: if it bit her in the behind. She believed the 704 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story at face value. She believed in 705 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: the Steel dossier and tweeted as much. She believed in 706 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: the Alpha Bank story, all of which were actual disinformation campaigns. 707 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: So she's lost complete credibility and frankly, DHS has as well. 708 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: When they're flagging with terrorist indicators parents who are anti 709 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: CRT and showing up to school board meetings, this is 710 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: a massive problem. When they're saying that anti government, anti 711 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: authoritarian ideologies is tantamount to terrorist activity, as well as 712 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine misinformation potentially is again tantamount to terrorist activity, 713 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: then we have a DHS stubs but clowned itself that 714 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: is much more interested in targeting the American people and 715 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: potentially dissenters than it is actually keeping the homeland safe. 716 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: So Heritage is holding them to account. Our Oversight project 717 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: is doing what it does best. It's holding these big 718 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: bureaucracies to account if they're not on the side of 719 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: we the people. Yeah, appreciate you, come back soon. Thanks Jesse. 720 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: All right, we gotta do light in the mood next, 721 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: it's a good one.

The other one 726 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 1: was a couple of projection TVs out of the back 727 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: of a van.
