1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Why all the yelling, why all the lining. We're gonna 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: talk about Joe Biden and coronavirus. We're gonna talk to 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: Congressman Andy Biggs, and we have an awesome light in 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: the mood for y'all that's coming up. And I'm right 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: all across the country where you can get that booster shot. 6 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: Excuse me, we'repen fema vaccination stites in Washington State. He 7 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: always sounds so tired and sick, I mean so all 8 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: the time. Either he's coughing, I'm like, I don't mean 9 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: to laugh. I hope the president honestly is in good health. 10 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't want that for the President of 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: the United States. But he always sounds and if he's 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: not coughing, he's doing this. I haven't. I've just thrown 13 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't. That's just been a long day, all right. Look, 14 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: it's been a rough here. Huh. If you're on the right, 15 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: which you probably are if you're watching me right now, 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: it's been rough here, been rough here. Look, aren't you 17 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: tired of all this? That's had this thought right before 18 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: the show came on. Aren't you so tired of the 19 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: United States of coronavirus? It's everything. It's all we hear 20 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: about now, vaccine, vaccine, COVID, new variant, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, 21 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: Get the vaccine, get the vaccinated. Back to the coronavirus. Coronavirus, Okay, 22 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: coronavirus is real. It kills people. It's not all we are. 23 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: How do we let this happen to ourselves? Where this is? 24 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: This is all we are now, it's all we've become. 25 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: And over a virus we'll never defeat. We know that now, well, 26 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: we've always known that the same people like me. We're 27 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: saying it in the very beginning. It's a virus that's 28 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: gonna work its way through society, protect as best as 29 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: best we can, treat it as best we can, if 30 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna get it. Now they're all saying that now 31 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden hasn't defeated the virus as he campaigned on. 32 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: Now they're all saying that, and they're still pointing fingers 33 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: though Joe Biden, he's still demonizing forty of the American 34 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: population folks who are not vaccinated. You may think you're 35 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: putting only yourself avers it's your choice. Your choice is 36 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: not such a choice about you affects other people. You're 37 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: putting other people as your loved ones, your friends, neighbors, strangers. 38 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: You're running and your choice can be the difference between 39 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: life or death. Alonger the viruses around, more likely various form, 40 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: it may be deadier than the ones that have come before. 41 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: Let me say again and again and again and again, 42 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: please get vaccinated. It's the only responsible thing to do. 43 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Those were unvaccinated or causing hospitals to overrun become overrunning again. 44 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Hospitals aren't overrun, and vaccinated people spread coronavirus just like 45 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: unvaccinated people do. Eighty percent of the current people with 46 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: coronavirus in the UK are vaccinated. Vaccinated people spread and 47 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: get coronavirus. This is something that has been well established. 48 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: So if vaccinated people spread it, vaccinated people get it, 49 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: then why does my vaccination status, whether I'm vaccinated or not? 50 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: You know I'm not, But whether I am or not, 51 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: why does it affect anyone else? Why can't anyone give 52 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: me an answer to this question? I've asked it repeatedly. 53 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: Why do the vaccinated care about the vaccination status of 54 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: anyone else? Why can no one seem to explain that 55 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: to me? Do you not think the vaccine works. If 56 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: you don't think it works, why did you get it? 57 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: But if you think it works, why are you worried? 58 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: A don't understand. And let's go back to what the 59 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: President said. This is all about the unvaccinated people there. 60 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: They're destroying our hospitals. Can't you see that's a lie, 61 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: That's a bold faced lie. And I don't remember a 62 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: time maybe there was, I don't remember a time in 63 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: the history of the United States of America that the 64 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: US president felt so comfortable demonizing huge portions of the 65 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: population repeatedly. You remember, this isn't a one off. Maybe 66 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 1: Joe had one too many last night, woke up feel 67 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: a little rough today. Oh, these unvaccinated suck. This has 68 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: been a consistent message from the White House the population. 69 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: They're bad, they're evil, They're responsible for everything that's dangerous. Man, 70 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: that's dangerous. And remember this rhetoric costs people lives. Rhetoric 71 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: is a big, big, big deal. I know you're gonna 72 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: say I'm crazy and it sounds crazy. Here's the truth. 73 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: There are people out there who get all their information 74 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: from CNN. Now that's not even taking a petty shot 75 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: at CNN. But CNN is a full blown communist propaganda network. Now, 76 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: if you only watch CNN, you live in a world 77 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: entirely of make believe, and you believe rhetoric like this, 78 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: and you believe the unvaccinated or overwhelming the hospitals, and 79 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: they might kill Grandma. I gotta do something about it. 80 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Rhetoric costs people lives. Rhetoric rhetoric. Well, there was a 81 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: guy who shot up a GOP baseball game. I know 82 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: the media doesn't want you to think about that, but 83 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: a mass shooter showed up at a baseball game to 84 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: kill a bunch of GOP congressmen. And they didn't just 85 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: stumble across it, right, Oh whoops, I tripped and fell. 86 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: Oh look there's some congressman. I happen to have a gun. 87 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: He went there to kill people. And he was a 88 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: hardcore Bernie Sanders supporter who believed all these people were 89 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: stopping the communist takeover of America. He believed all that rhetoric. 90 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: It's a really, really, really big deal. And remember my 91 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: sky is green theory. I know you do, but my 92 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: sky is green theory. How they can convince half the 93 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: population of something that's completely not true, no matter what 94 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: your eyes tell you. I love that Joe Biden steps up. 95 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: This is a man who lies repeatedly, and yet he 96 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: steps up and blames misinformation for people being unvaccinated, unvaccinated 97 00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: or responsible for their own choices. But those choices, my agers. 98 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: Misinformation on cable TV and social media. You know, these 99 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: companies and personalities are making money my pedaling lies and 100 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: allowing misinformation that can kill your own customers and your 101 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: own suppuares. It's wrong. It's a moral I call prepayors 102 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: and these lies and misinformation to stop it. Stop it. Nah, 103 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: that's wrong. Didn't you know it's wrong to spread lies 104 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: and misinformation? Don't you dare use your platform, however, however 105 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: big it may be to spread lies and misinformation. You know, 106 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: lies like vaccinated people don't spread coronavirus. Everybody talks about 107 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: freedom and not to have a to have a shot 108 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: or have a test. Well, guess what? And so how 109 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: about patriotism. How about making sure that you're vaccinated so 110 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: you do not spread the disease to anybody else? What 111 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: about that? What's the big deal? Man? That sounds like 112 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: dangerous misinformation from the platform of the President of the 113 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: United States of America. It's wild how crazy this country 114 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: has become, how far from the truth we've drifted. It's 115 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: been an overused saying, but it's you so much now 116 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: we live in a post truth society. We do, we do, 117 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: It's gone. There is nothing more. Everything's all politics, all rhetoric, 118 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: all the time. It's endless. I remember Joe Biden just 119 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: announced he's sending out five hundred million coronavirus tests to 120 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: American homes, which in and of itself is very weird. 121 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Why all the testing? If you're sick, get tested, If 122 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: you're not sick, there's no need to get tested. Why 123 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: all the time? But setting that aside, don't you remember 124 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: it was like fifteen minut ago, Jen Saki was mocking 125 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: a reporter for asking about this. Might not just make 126 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: them free and give them out to have them available 127 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: every room? Should we just send one to every American? Maybe? 128 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: Then then what happened? Then? What happens if if every 129 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: American has one test? How much does that cost? And 130 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: then what happens after that? Ha? Ha, you're so stupid. 131 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: Oh hey, by the way, that's a good idea. We're 132 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: gonna do that. This is another problem the White House 133 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: currently faces right now. The White House has a severe 134 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: tone problem because they're so out of touch. It's not 135 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: a secret Joe Biden's extremely unpopular, but they don't seem 136 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: to be able to connect with the American people at all. 137 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Everything's mocking, everything's talking down to them, everything's don't question me, 138 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm your ruler. What's your problem? All of it is this. 139 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: And look, let's remember all this new testing. It's about omicron. 140 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: The CDC announced you better go get your booster now 141 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: because of Omicron. They put it in the official release 142 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: for Remember omicron. Omicron is a mild variant. It's been 143 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: repeatedly described as a mild cold. Why the urgency? Why 144 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: why is Joe Biden saying he was caught off guard 145 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: by a new mild variant of coronavirus. What's your message 146 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: to Americans who are trying to get tested now and 147 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: who are not able to get tested, and who are 148 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: wondering what took so long to ramp up testing? Come on, 149 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: what took so long? I'm hearing that from people who 150 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: are trying to get tested down before the holidays? What 151 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: took so Lorans didn't take long at all. And let's 152 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: talk about Joe for a second. You hear run, you 153 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: hear run? I talked about in the very beginning right there. 154 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: I wonder how it's tired of what I took so long. 155 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: It just sounds exhausted all the time. He goes from 156 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: exhausted two yelling a lot. He was asked about Bill 157 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: back Better, And remember remember before we unpack this, build 158 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: back Better was really his one shot at getting all 159 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: of his legislative goals through. He was just gonna try 160 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: to throw them all in one big bill and get 161 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: that thing past. The Communists couldn't help themselves. They harassed 162 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion and his family until Joe Mansion said, Okay, 163 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: I've had enough. The answers no, because communists simply can't 164 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: help themselves. And Joe Biden, he does this thing now. 165 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't know whether he's just old, whether the brain 166 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: is truly melting as badly as it looks, but every 167 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: now and then he'll just start yelling and ways that 168 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: seemed odd and it's just very out of place. Here's 169 00:11:41,360 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: Joe when asked about it. Oh, okay, look, President's not 170 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: doing well. No, the Republican Party is obviously not in 171 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: great shape, hasn't been for a long time. President's not 172 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: doing well. Kamala Harris is even less popular than he is. 173 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: We're facing a huge election loss, potential election loss for 174 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats in the mid terms. Maybe twenty twenty two 175 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: ain't going to be so bad after all. All that 176 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: may have made you uncomfortable, but I'm right. Coming up next, 177 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: we have Congressman Andy Biggs joining the show.

Everyone knows this. 180 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: It sucks. It's terrible. You got a call a thousand places, 181 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: you got a million tabs open on your phone.

Well, 195 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: that is quite another inspiring message from the President of 196 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: the United States joining me now to talk about that, 197 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona Congressman. That's I've never honestly 198 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: setting coronavirus aside. I don't remember the time in my 199 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: life where I've heard the President speak down to so 200 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: many Americans the way this administration consistently has whatever people 201 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: think about vaccination or getting vaccinated, you're bad and you're 202 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: bad and you're killing people. And I've never seen a 203 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: president talk like this. Now. This is the great unifier, 204 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: isn't he, Jesse. I mean, this is the guy that 205 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: said he was going to come in and unify the country, 206 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: and instead he and his administration is focused on dividing 207 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: the nation constantly, and part of the way he does 208 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: it is through condescension. And I think of it, how 209 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: insulting is it to three hundred and thirty a million 210 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: Americans that a guy who can barely get out of 211 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: bed in the morning, doesn't know where he is half 212 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: the time, is sucking down ice cream Cones is going 213 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: to condescend to us. That's horrible. It is horrible, And honestly, 214 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: how can you blame people who are completely skeptical of 215 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: everything at this point in time? We had the President 216 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: last week. I'm not going to play now. I played 217 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: a clip earlier in the show, how the President last 218 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: week saying vaccinated people can't spread coronavirus. Well, that's a 219 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: bald faceal we've done. That's a lie for a year. 220 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: Of course, of course they can spread it. So they 221 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: just continue to lie, and then they'll contradict themselves and 222 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: then lie and contradict themselves and then tell people like 223 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: you and me we're idiots for not doing what they say. 224 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: It blows me away. Yeah, no, I mean, it's it's 225 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: like it's like the Khan Man. The Khan Man thinks 226 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: that he's gonna that you're going to keep believing them 227 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and so they're going 228 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: to go back to the well and try to victimize 229 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: you over again. And right now, I think most Americans 230 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: look at this guy as a khn Man, and he's 231 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: trying to victimize him. That's why seventy one of people 232 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: say they give him a disapproval rating. They don't want him, 233 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: they don't want anybody in his administration because we can't 234 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: trust him. The one thing that is so imperative in 235 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: politics is that is that the people that give you 236 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: the right and the authority, they delegate the authority to 237 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: govern to you. Well, you better be trustworthy, you better 238 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: do what you say you're gonna do. And this guy, 239 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't going to do any mandates at all, 240 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: and now now he wants to basically lock down the 241 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: whole country. But he's not really going to lock down 242 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: the country, you know. I mean, the guy's just he 243 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: can't tell the truth. He's pathological. He is pathological. And 244 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: I do have to ask, I've asked a million times 245 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: who's actually running things? Joe Biden has one event a 246 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: day maybe, and he sounds about half exhausted every time 247 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: he does one of those events. Is it Ron Klain's, 248 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: Susan Rice Jensaki? Is it a brain meld effort up there? 249 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: Who's the one putting out this horrible messaging? Well, so, 250 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: so you got some Obama leftovers in there, and you've 251 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: got ron Klain, who really is kind of governing what 252 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: the president's doing as best he can. But right now, 253 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: because there is no central leadership in the president like 254 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: you had was even Obama was centralized, Trump was centralized. 255 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: Clinton was even centralized, but the having it leaders the 256 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: secretaries of Homeland Security or Treasury or whatever. They're controlling 257 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: their sectors as if they're little fifeed them and they're 258 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: not really going to get input from this president because 259 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: the president is not capable of giving the meaningful input. 260 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: So we just got a bunch of people out there 261 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: flying line because we don't have a functional president. That's great, 262 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: that's great, let's speaking of half functional. Here's doctor Faucci 263 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: about the definition of fully vaccinated, about the change. There's 264 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: a definition of fully vaccinated going to change to include boosters, 265 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: doctor Faucci, You know it very well might. The semantics 266 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: of what you're calling fully vaccinated or not for regulatory 267 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: or requirement purposes doesn't avoid the fact that if you 268 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: really want to be optimally protected, go get a boost. Congressman, 269 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: I feel like the carrot is always being just snatched 270 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: away at the last moment here, we've browbeat everyone in 271 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: the country about getting vaccinated forever. Now you're not vaccinated 272 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: any anymore, You're not about to be vaccinated anymore. Even 273 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: if you're vaccinated, you still have to worry about the unvaccinated. 274 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: Where someone's gonna have to explain that to me. Who 275 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: is this clown? Well, he is doctor Faucci is. He 276 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: is Lucy, and we are all Charlie Brown. We are 277 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: the nation of Charlie Brown's with and he's going to 278 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: move that ball anytime we're getting close to kicking it. 279 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: And and that's that's where he is. And the other aspect, 280 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more serious, is is Orwellian in nature. 281 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: He likes authority, likes power. I think I think when 282 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: history is written on this, he's going to be perceived 283 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: to be a villain. H and also the entire healthcare 284 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: bureaucracy from the government because they've they've best basically removed 285 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: the goalpost, moved the goal post constantly. They use a 286 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: caret and stick approach. They're trying to manipulate Americans. But 287 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: the problem with it is is that Faucci has been 288 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: wrong virtually every time he's turned around. And I cannot 289 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: believe anybody is still listening to him. He should he 290 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: should be allowed to sit in a room by himself 291 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: and talk to himself, because nobody should be listening to 292 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: this guy. You mentioned carrot and stick, and I got 293 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: to be honest, that's something that has really bugged me. 294 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: And it's not just been Joe Biden. It's been across 295 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: the country. It's been in cities guys like Deblas. You know, 296 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: it's been across the country. Politicians now seem more comfortable 297 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: threatening us with the stick than at any time I 298 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: can remember talking down to us. You can work, I'll 299 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: take away your ability to enjoy life. Since when did 300 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: American politicians get comfortable speaking to us in this way? 301 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: Since Americans let them get comfortable. Americans but not believe 302 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: it when they went to a masked mandate and when 303 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: they went to a two week lockdown, I said, this 304 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: is this is the beginning of fascism in a way 305 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: that we've never seen in this country. I could not 306 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: believe how quickly Americans acquiesced to this, and they did. 307 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: And so these politicians that have power or think they 308 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: have power, are now abusing at full scale. And it's 309 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: really embarrassing, but it's more than embarrassing. It's oppressive and 310 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: it will continue to be oppressive until Americans fight back. 311 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: You see, Jesse, you see this what's happening in Europe. 312 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: These there are nations that I thought would be much 313 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: more acquiescent than ours, where the rank and file person 314 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: is out there, they're in the streets, they are protesting 315 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: with tens of thousands of people, and we're not doing 316 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: that in the United States of America. It's sad, all right. 317 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: Finally we are actually not the United States of coronavirus. 318 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: We have other issues in this country. We just caught 319 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: a potential terrorists from Yemen crossing the border. Of course 320 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: in Arizona, it's a popular place to cross. How long? 321 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: How long can we have a completely unsecured border here, Congress, 322 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: When we're coming up on a year and it's it 323 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be getting any better, it's not going 324 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: to getting better. You know. Well, we'll finish the year 325 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: with two million people entering our country illegally. More than that, actually, 326 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: we just don't know the amount. Because we don't. We 327 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: will have captured quite a few, apprehended quite a few, 328 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: but the realities it's going to be worse next year, 329 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: I believe, because all incentives are remaining there. And I 330 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: am really nervous about this. I talked to some of 331 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: my congressional colleagues. We're trying to push to get something 332 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: done from this administration to stop this. But I am 333 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: really nervous that a terrorist event is going to happen 334 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: in this country because I know I know from from 335 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: the folks I've talked to that that that have these 336 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: figures we are looking at. I think it's three or 337 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: four times the highest ever number of apprehensions from the 338 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: domestic terrorists from the terrorists watch list. That's a problem 339 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: for us because we don't know, we don't know what 340 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: we don't know, and there are literally hundreds of thousands 341 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: of people who are coming into this country that we 342 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: don't know who they are, even the people who we apprehend. 343 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: We're releasing hundreds of thousands of those people into the 344 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: country and we don't know what any of their intentions are. 345 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: And that is very, very dangerous, And I am worried 346 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: about a future terrorist type event in the country because 347 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: of this administration's abject failure to control our border. Yeah, 348 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. I hope you're wrong, but 349 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. Congressman Andy Biggs, thank you, sir, 350 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Thanks Jesse, take care of joining me. Next, 351 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: my friend, former counter terrorism officer Drew Burkewist joins us, 352 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: but first since the season to add up some bills. 353 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: Sit down, Analyze where you are. And maybe you're sitting down. 354 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the first time in your life, maybe you've 355 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: been there for years. Maybe you're buried in debt. Pick 356 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: your number whatever. If you're ten thousand dollars or more 357 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: in debt, you're buried in debt. I don't care if 358 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: it's fifty, I don't care if it's a hundred. You know, 359 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to live that way. Total Financial Freedom 360 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: has been helping people out just like you for a 361 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: long time, and one of my favorite things about him 362 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: is there's no judgment, there's no making you feel bad. 363 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: You feel bad enough. Yeah, who wants to make that 364 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: phone call? I'm buried in dead I screwed something up. 365 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: No one wants to make that phone call. They've heard 366 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: it all before. They have an eight plus rating with 367 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: a Better Business Bureau. They're just gonna help you call 368 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: eight seven seventh three three two eight two nine one. 369 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: Make sure you mentioned Jesse Kelly.

We'll be back with Drew Burkewist joining me 372 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: now is my friend Drew Burkewist. He is the host 373 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: of This is My Show with Drew Burkewist. He's also 374 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: a former counter terrorism officer. Drew, I love this, buddy. 375 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: We have new military guidelines from the Pentagon prohibiting military 376 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: personnel from participating in extremist activities. Those include things like posting, liking, 377 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: or sharing, otherwise distributing content that supports extremist activities. Now true, 378 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: that sounds fine, except I think your definition and my 379 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: definition of extremists and their definition of extremists might be 380 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: a touch different. Yeah, just a touch, And thanks for 381 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: having me, Jesse. Yeah, I mean this. Look, it's a 382 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: moving target, right. Every time we hear the government the 383 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: military now talk about extremist domestic violence, our domestic extremism, 384 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: excuse me, all of these terms. It continues to change 385 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: as long as they are able to, because the goal, 386 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: of course is to expand that definition so they can 387 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: put everyone who's in opposition to them in that category. 388 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: And what's insane about is I was reading a report 389 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: earlier this week and it was talking about kind of 390 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: their mindset behind why they did this. They said, look, 391 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: we only have some cases, but we're concerned about it. 392 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: They mentioned a hundred known people that they were tracking. 393 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: We're talking about one hundred people who probably are for 394 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: being fair, aren't actually in that extremist category. One hundred 395 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: people out of over two million active duty and reserve 396 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: military members. That's like essentially zero, Drew. How am I 397 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: supposed to take this as anything other than an attempt 398 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: to purge all right wing thought from the military. I mean, 399 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: that is what it is, right one percent. That's exactly 400 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: how you should take it, because it's exactly what it is. 401 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: This is an old playbook, an old play from the 402 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: communist playbook. They want to get rid of all the 403 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: meat eaters, the type type A alpha males, the people 404 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: who signed up because they want to kill our enemies. 405 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: And they want people who are just willing to comply 406 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: with whatever they say, enforce ridiculous mandates, ridiculous rules, whether 407 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: they're social justice related, whether they're political, whatever the case 408 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: might be. They want people who are compliant and will 409 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: just say yes, sir, bend the knee and do it. Drue. 410 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: I despise officers. I've never held back on that. In general, 411 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: I think most of them are completely useless. However, I'm 412 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: not naive there are some real lions out there. Historically, 413 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: there have been some wonderful officers. I actually had one 414 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: or two myself. I'd lay down and die for it 415 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: to this day. So I'm assuming there are still some 416 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: generals and admirals out there in the service or just left, 417 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: who really are patriots like yourself, who would fight and 418 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: die for this country. Why so silent, Drew, Why don't 419 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: I hear anything? You know? I think that's a good question, 420 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: and I think you're right there are I Look, there's 421 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: plenty the people I've worked with in the military, you know, 422 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: being detached and detailed to them from the intel community. 423 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: The folks in the intel community who are also leadership. 424 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: You have lots of lemons there. You have lots of 425 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: folks who are careerists. They care about themselves much like politicians, 426 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: not actually the mission or in the case of the politicians, 427 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: they're constituents. But there are some amazing ones too, and 428 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: I think that the reason they're silent. And I'm speculating here, 429 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: but it's it's obviously a tough climate and right now 430 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: because so many people are so unwilling to stand up 431 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: and say something because they're scared of their own livelihood, 432 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: they're scared of losing their job, whatever the case might be. 433 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: They're just not wanting to do it because there's not 434 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: the masses there. So it's like there are a ton 435 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: of people who are like, this is awful, We've got 436 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: to pushback. But then they also are like, but I'm 437 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: not going to Maybe you guys will. And I think 438 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: that there's probably a lot of them in that category 439 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: who are who are, whether that should be or not, 440 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: probably just waiting waiting for what true. I guess. Look, 441 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm out of balance on this. And I 442 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: understand people have pensions and if you're a general and 443 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: you want to be able to pay the bills, and 444 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: I get all that, but man alive, we're at a 445 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: time where the FBI is going in a dangerous direction. 446 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: CIA military, these things are going in a dangerous direction, 447 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: and we're losing the patriots we have in there. Now's 448 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: the time to speak, not in not ten years from 449 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: now when they're all gone. Yeah, no, I agree, I think, 450 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: and I think the problem is is there's a distinction. Look, 451 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: I know for myself, there's words and there's action. I 452 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: hate just just saying stuff. I want to do stuff, 453 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: and if things get aggressive, things get violent, it just 454 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: goes full speed. There's no stopping. So I think that 455 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: there's people who are these type a meat eaters who 456 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: are like, Okay, I have an on switch and an 457 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: off switch, and I'm waiting to flip it on. And 458 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm not justifying them waiting to flip it on, but 459 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: right now, because of the things you just mentioned, because 460 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: of the way the FBI is doing things, because of 461 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: the way my former employer is doing things, the Pentagon 462 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: is doing things, the rare few that are that have 463 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: the balls to speak out and say something are being 464 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: chased down, indoor, locked up because of their opposing views. 465 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: And I think because there's not the masses if they're 466 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: and I'm not calling for just a straight up, you know, uprising, 467 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: but it's going to take something like that to push 468 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: back against these people. And I think that's the problem, 469 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: is there's a gap between full on revolution and speak 470 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 1: your mind, and people are kind of lost in the abyss, 471 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: and that's probably why we're seeing a lot of people 472 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: remain you know, mum is the word on this, which 473 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: is not the play. Well, it's not all bad news, 474 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: Drew came out yesterday. The Air Force is focusing on 475 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: having greater respect for people's pronouns and now you can 476 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: use your preferred pronouns on your official email signature in 477 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: the air In the Air Force, Drew, I have to 478 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: imagine China and Russia are just simply licking their chops 479 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: as they watch us go completely nutso over here. Oh 480 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: my gosh. Yes, and look you've you've said it too. 481 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: It's not surprising coming from the Air Force. There's amazing 482 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: people there, the combat controllers, the combat airmen, you know, 483 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: the pj's are all awesome. I've worked with a lot 484 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: of them. They're they're killer. But the rest of the 485 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: people signed up for the golf membership and it's just 486 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: that's that fits that service. But you've got absolutely our enemies, 487 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: not just because of this, but because of everything we're 488 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: doing on a geopolitical level, all of our foreign policy 489 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: who are saying, hey, we're in a really good spot here, 490 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: what do we want to do? What do you want 491 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: to do? What do you want to do? Let's just 492 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: make a list and let's do it true. How capable 493 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: is Russia? We talk a lot about China, we don't 494 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: talk enough about Russia, but they're always a global player, 495 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: have always been a global player. What is their capability now? 496 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: I think it's still really strong. I think it's understated. 497 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: I think that people underestimate where they are because their 498 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: economy was ravished over the last several decades. Here are 499 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: lots of things have gone against them, but they've remained 500 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: very aggressive with their actions in terms of their special operations, 501 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: their intelligence operations. They do what they want, and they 502 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: particularly do what they want. And you know, look, are 503 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: they America? No? But but are they a very strong foe? Yes? 504 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: And when we have leadership like we have right now. 505 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: And leadership is a funny word to youth because it's 506 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: it's non existent. And I saw this under the eight 507 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: years with Obama. Putin is a baller in the sense 508 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: where obviously he's our enemy, but when he sees weakness, 509 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: he strikes. So they're strong enough to make some serious 510 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: gains and continue to cause a huge threat and God 511 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: forbid them and China come together on something, it's bad news. 512 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: So I think it's something has to be taken very seriously. 513 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: Are they as big of a threat as China is 514 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: right now? Maybe not, but they're darned close. Drew came 515 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: out yesterday, China is already going to be doing some 516 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: mining in Afghanistan, partnering with the Taliban. Would you please 517 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: explain that dynamic there. China and the Taliban seems like 518 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: an odd fit to most people, but you were there. 519 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: What is what are they doing? Yeah? Well, I mean, 520 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: look China, this is what they do all over the globe. 521 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: They mind for rare earth minerals, for lithium, you name it. 522 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 1: They want the minerals, they want the money, they want 523 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: the power and the influence that comes with that. So 524 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: they're not you know, a likely tandem for sure. And 525 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: in fact, they want in Xingyang, you know, the province 526 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: in northeast Afghanistan. They want that border button up. They 527 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: don't want Taliban and other foreign fighters coming across there 528 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: or causing any concerns there. But because they want those 529 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: those minerals and those you know, all the different rights 530 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: to it there, they're willing to say, hey, look, we'll 531 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: overlook you killing Americans for all these decades. We'll overlook 532 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: you even killing some of our people. Will overlook pretty 533 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: much anything and even give you weapons, supplies, will even 534 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: give you infrastructure, help with roads, and you name it, 535 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: as long as you stay the heck out of the 536 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: way and let us have what we want here. This 537 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: can be a rather symbiotic relations and ships. So it's 538 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: it's very one sided in a lot of ways for 539 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: the for the Chinese. But but the Taliban don't mind 540 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: because they don't care about that stuff. They don't know 541 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: what to do with it. So so it works out 542 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: really well in both ways, and it makes it tough 543 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: for us to do anything in that country because China's 544 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: going to have a lot of influence rare earth minerals, 545 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: Like what what do these things do? The rare earth minerals? Look, 546 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: I know geology. I don't even know if geologists the 547 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: right term. I'm an intelligence officer and I'm not that intelligent. 548 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: But but they it's it's stuff that you use in 549 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: cell phones and stuff that you use in batteries. It's 550 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: it's tons of these these these elements that they use 551 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: for obviously they build everything over there. Um so it's 552 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of those that go into electronic 553 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: components um in devices that we all use around the globe. 554 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,479 Speaker 1: Drew Burke was thank you so much more, Broth. I 555 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: appreciate you. Hey, thanks for having me. Our guests coming 556 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: up next got cut off in a little bit of 557 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: a test the exchange with bag Senator Dick Durbin. I'm 558 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: looking forward to asking them about that. But first, did 559 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: you watch the new Sortos special? Yet? Did you watch 560 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: Breaking Fauci? That's Mike Slater's new special. You have to 561 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: go to the First TV dot Com slash Support and 562 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: sign up to become a supporter of the First and 563 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: then you can watch all our specials, everything we put 564 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: out on demand. I told you when I started telling 565 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 1: you about becoming a First TV supporter, you'd have access 566 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: to things other people don't get. Well, you do the 567 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: First TV dot Com slash Support, Go sign up. We'll 568 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: be back. But frankly, nothing could capture the breadth of 569 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: this problem better than one recent, yet fairly common example 570 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: that should infuriate every person in this room. Miss swear. 571 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: I read your testimony, and I believe in all fairness, 572 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: since we did not invite the Cook County States Attorney's 573 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: Office to be represented here today, that you shouldn't really 574 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: serow in on any particular individual. If you want to 575 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: speak to the trends that certainly you're right. But because 576 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: that decision was made by the committee to keep this 577 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: more at the federal level, I hope you'll respect that. Okay. 578 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: That was Senator Dick Durban joining me now as legal 579 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: fellow and Heritage Foundation Amy swhere. Amy, I mean, you're 580 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: not going to be censored on this show. What were 581 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: you trying to get out there before Senator Durbin cuts 582 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: you off. Well, it wasn't anything new or surprising. I 583 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 1: actually wanted to go through a very well publicized example 584 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: of a specific example of how progressive prosecutors in Chicago 585 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: have made this habit of letting violent criminals off the hook. 586 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: So it was really just a story about how earlier 587 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: this year there was a very large gang shootout, gang 588 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: related shoot out in a very residential neighborhood in Chicago. 589 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: Almost immediately five individuals were arrested for you know, again 590 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: the shootout where I think over seventy rounds were fired 591 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: into these houses that was on a Friday. By Sunday, 592 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: all five of those suspects had been released, not just 593 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: on bail, but without a single charge pending. And I 594 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: think some of the explanations given by local prosecutors were 595 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: frankly absurd, things like, oh, it was mutual combat, which one, 596 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: that's not how that works. And two, what are you 597 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: essentially telling the people of Chicago, Well, it's that's fine. 598 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: It was just a bunch of gang members shooting at 599 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: each other, No big deal. Who really cares. We don't 600 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: have to hold them accountable. That's what was cut off Amy. 601 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: Now this may be the wrong question to ask, but 602 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm genuinely curious. We've seen Chicago murder numbers, shooting numbers 603 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: be at warez levels for years and years at Chicago 604 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: is a major city in any city. Frankly, when you 605 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: get in cool parts of it, it's borderline odd that 606 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,959 Speaker 1: it is a war zone in parts of it. Has 607 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: anyone ever been able to really just all politics aside, 608 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: drill down and figure out why Chicago? Well, I mean, 609 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: there are certainly a number of factors you could point to. 610 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: I think we need to start with the premise that 611 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: violent crime is very complicated but I will say this, 612 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't too long ago, just a couple of years ago, 613 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: that that Chicago hit record lows in terms of homicides. 614 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: And we need to look at this question of what 615 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: has changed in the last couple of years. And I 616 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: think one of the things that is very clear is 617 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: the role that these progressive prosecution progressive prosecutors have played 618 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: in sort of facilitating this feeling amongst criminals that well, 619 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: we can do whatever we want and there's very little 620 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: chance of us getting caught, much less getting punished for it. 621 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: And I think that's been a serious problem, both in 622 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: Chicago in a number of other cities around this nation. 623 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: I have a little clip of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot 624 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,959 Speaker 1: I want to play for you now requesting federal help. 625 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: I have formally asked the Attorney General of the United States, 626 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: Merrick Gardland, with all delivered haste detail atf agents to 627 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: Chicago for six months so that we can increase the 628 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: number of gun investigations and seizures in Chicago. And with 629 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: these agents, we also need increased federal prosecutors to handle 630 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: the new cases that will be generated. Okay, I do 631 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: have to ask Amy, why now was this just a 632 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: standard Democrat talking point, help us come and get the guns. 633 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 1: But I mean, Chicago has been bad for a while. 634 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,760 Speaker 1: They're turning criminals loose yet requesting the ATF. Sorry, something's 635 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: not adding up here for me. Well, I think the 636 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: missing factor might be maybe you do need some federal 637 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 1: prosecutions if local prosecutors will prosecute crimes at a state 638 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: local level. But yeah, you know, it does seem to 639 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: be sort of this attempt to place the blame on 640 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: the Feds and federal prosecutors and oh, well the ATF 641 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: needs to do a better job here. But you know, again, 642 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: the reality is, you look at where most most crimes 643 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: are committed, where most people are arrested. It's at that 644 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: state and local level where those decisions are being made, 645 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: and those are the people who have to be held accountable. 646 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: You know, why are prosecutions so low? Why are these 647 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: individuals out on the street to begin with? That's not 648 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: the federal government's fault that that's the fault of local officials. Amy, 649 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: why are they so low? We got twelve cities who 650 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: broken homicide records? Are our major cities are breaking harmicide 651 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: of the homicide records? Why aren't we keeping bad guys 652 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: locked away? What is going on? What are we missing? Well, 653 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: so this again has been part of a several years 654 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: now of what's called this this progressive prosecutor movement to 655 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: prosecutors who of comment and said, look, we're going to 656 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: stop prosecuting certain quote unquote lower level offenses. We're going 657 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: to try to release as many people as possible out 658 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: on bail while their chargers are pending. And they'll say, oh, well, 659 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: you know we put them out on on ankle monitors. 660 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: You know, we're keeping track of them. But the reality is, 661 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: I think that the studies, when you look at this, 662 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: at least when the studies don't fudge the numbers, it's 663 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: very clear that a significant number of these people, some 664 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: of whom are are violent offenders. I mean, you look 665 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: at in Chicago some of the people being released, they 666 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: are in fact violent offenders being released on bail on 667 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: gun charges, who then continue to go on and harm 668 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: members of that community. Amy the Second Amendment something obviously 669 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: I hold near and dear to my heart, especially when 670 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: we talk about the crime numbers and how bad things 671 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: are getting out there. It's a crazy world. Was it 672 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: a good year or a bad year twenty to twenty 673 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: one for the Second Amendment. Well, I think in many respects, 674 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment is not just twenty twenty one, but 675 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty before that. I think it's seeing a bit 676 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: of our surgeons. You know, on the one hand, you 677 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: do have rising numbers of gun violence offenses, rising numbers 678 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: of homicides, but you've also seen record numbers of Americans 679 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 1: choosing for the first time to exercise their Second Amendment rights. 680 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: Something to the effect of the latest numbers, I've seen 681 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: our twelve million first time gun owners over the last 682 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: year and a half two years, which is unprecedented, and 683 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing for the Second Amendment. 684 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: What it tells us is that we have large numbers 685 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: of people joining the ranks of gun owners who are 686 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: suddenly invested in their own security, who are taking that seriously. 687 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: And I think that shows in some of the record 688 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,399 Speaker 1: low numbers in recent surveys in terms of people who 689 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: favor new restrictions on the Second Amendment. Right, good Amy swear, 690 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: thank you so much. I appreciate you. Thank you all. Right, 691 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: coming up next, we got lightning mood. Wait, do you 692 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: see this guy rock a fiddle. It's beautiful. Hang on, 693 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: all right, it's time to lighten the mood. And I'll 694 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: tell you I've always loved that great song by John Denver, 695 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: Country Roads. You probably know the song. Just the fact 696 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: that I just brought it up probably has you singing 697 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: it in your head. The world has so many talented 698 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: people in it, and the Internet is really as bad 699 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: as it can be. Sometimes it gives you a window 700 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: into how many talented people there are out there. If 701 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: you'd asked me yesterday morning, could you ever improve on 702 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: the song Country Roads? I would have said, now, that 703 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: song is perfect. I love it. Who doesn't sing it 704 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: in the cards? Wonderful? And then I saw this guy 705 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: and dagon he did. Hey, you're probably wondering why this 706 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: song was never recorded with a fiddle, but I had 707 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: it right now.
