In fact, the Daily Mail, 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite websites for a lot 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: of things, I wish I could pay them a subscription 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: just so I didn't have to see all this stuff 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: about what's going on with Meghan and Harry. I could 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: care less, But now they have overtaken our culture. Now, 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're supposed to be paying attention 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: to this, at least for the next day or so, 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: so I'll do some of that.

I'm pretty sure we fought a 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: war a couple of hundred years ago so that we'd 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: never have to pay attention to the British monarchy ever again, 54 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: and the American people wouldn't have to ever give a crap, 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: if you will, what the monarchs think about anything. But 56 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: here we are, now, with the complete saturation and domination 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: of media today, with this interview. I saw some of 58 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: it last I couldn't stomach watching the whole thing. I 59 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: just don't care enough, but I watched enough of it 60 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: to get it to get the gist. And here's what 61 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: we know. Harry and Meghan are part of the British 62 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: royal family. I don't even know what their official titles 63 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: are anything. I don't really care, but they sat down 64 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: with Oprah, who is a multi billionaire, to whine about 65 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: how their lives are so hard and the British Royal 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: Family is being mean to them. And for a lot 67 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: of people they view this as, I don't know, a 68 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: fairytale story gone awry. There's a fascination for certainly Americans 69 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: and definitely for everybody in the UK about the Royal 70 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Family that they either they hate them they love them. 71 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: But for a lot of us here you think of 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: a case like this and you say, how could it 73 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: be possible to find people who are more privileged than 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: ultra rich celebrities like Royal family? How could you find 75 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: anybody who's more more privileged than this? And yet they 76 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: want to be victims. Harry and Meggan. I don't know them, 77 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't care. But now the whole world, this is 78 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: the biggest news story in the world. Right now, You've 79 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,119 Speaker 1: got two incredibly lucky, I mean lucky beyond a normal 80 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: person's wildest dreams, human beings who want to go on 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: TV and want about Look, I'm not saying they don't 82 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: have challenges. I know that every human being. You know, 83 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: you see people you don't see the full truth of 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: their situation. You see what people have to deal with, 85 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: and you don't recognize all the challenges they've gone through. 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: I get that, of course. You know, you see some 87 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: of your greatest heroes throughout history have you know, substance 88 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: abuse problems, or terrible personal issues in their marriage or 89 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: you know what, you know, have demons have extreme depression 90 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: of things that they have to handle. I'm not in 91 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: any way negating any of that, but this is a 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: move that is beneficial. You see for Harry and Megan, 93 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: this is something that really just elevates their brand, their 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: power in their career, and it's indicative of this sickness 95 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: of victimology chasing that has come to dominate Western civilization 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: and Western culture. Now. You know, the entire Western world 97 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: seems completely obsessed with this idea that if you can, 98 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: if you can claim righteous victimhood status, everybody has to 99 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: feel sorry for you and give you what you want 100 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: and do so because of the moral obligation you've imposed 101 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: on them. And it's just it absolves, you know, the 102 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: victim mentality absolves people of their own mistakes. It means 103 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: they're no longer responsible for their shortcomings. It means that 104 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: there is always an out right Why hasn't something worked 105 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: out the way that you thought it showed or you 106 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: wanted to. It's not your fault. You're a victim. Why 107 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: aren't you a better person? Why don't you treat people better? 108 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Why don't you work harder? Why don't you get more done? 109 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: Why aren't you more disciplined? Why aren't you more exemplary 110 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: when it comes to character and courage and kindness? None 111 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: of that matters. If you're a victim, it's not your fault. 112 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: You see, there's other people that are doing all these 113 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: things to you. There's other people who have made your 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: life so much harder. And even if, as Harry and 115 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: Meghan are, you are globally recognized celebrities for no real reason. 116 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean, in the case of Harry because he was born, 117 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: he's famous, and in the case of Megan, because she's 118 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: an attractive female who married him. Now everybody has to 119 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: care who they are and pretend that somehow what they 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: say matters. It's absurd, the whole thing. But in a way, 121 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: the royal family starting the mid twentieth century were the 122 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: original ultra celebrities before the Kardashians came along and really 123 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: proved out the celebrity because you're a celebrity model. The 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: closest thing we had too was being born into the 125 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: British royal family, and there has always been this this 126 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: fascination with them for some people. I, as I've said, 127 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: I think the whole thing is absurd. I think monarchy 128 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: should be abolished. I don't understand why anybody doesn't see that. 129 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: But I'm also an American, so I know a lot 130 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: of us is sitting here, but America's embracing this couple 131 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: now too. You see, they were on with Oprah, the 132 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: ultimate media powerbroker. I mean, if you're talking about a 133 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: media brand that is of course worth billions of dollars, 134 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: but that has tremendous sway in pop culture. I don't 135 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: know if you could find somebody more powerful than Oprah. 136 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: She sits down with them, spends three hours with them, 137 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: and they get to complain. Of course, if you want 138 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: to be a real victim, they go with with some 139 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: of the the victimology greatest hits, uh, namely Megan makes 140 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: some insinuations about racism. Well that because that's all you 141 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: have to do is say something or someone is racist, 142 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden you're you're you're one 143 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: of the good people. You're you're righteous, you have been 144 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: you have been wronged, and society must pay you some 145 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: debt of some kind to make everything better. What does 146 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: that even mean? How do we do that? Don't worry 147 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: about the details. People bathe in, they luxuriate in. And 148 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: this is true all across our society. It's true with 149 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: cancel culture. All right, we just had Peppi Lapew has 150 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: now gone from the Space Jam movies, and I'm not 151 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: kidding because of rape culture. They also got rid of 152 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: Speedy Gonzalez. They've gotten rid of six of the Doctor 153 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: SEUs books, as you know. Now that's the choice of 154 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: the Doctor SEUs publishing company. But still it's showing you 155 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: where the mentality is right now. But it's because there 156 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: are people that are afraid of being accused of being 157 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: a victimizer, and there are a whole lot more people 158 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: out there who just walk around trying to find a 159 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: way to view themselves as victims. It's really an obsession. 160 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: It's a deep seated mindset because think about what it does. 161 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: It absolves you from all of your transgressions, It absolves 162 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: you from all of your guilt, it removes any need 163 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: for you to have introspection, for you to be honest 164 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: with yourself about what's gone right and wrong in your 165 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: own decisions, in your own life. You're a victim. It's 166 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: somebody else's fault. It takes agency away from you. And 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: in a sense, the same way I tell you that 168 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people like to be controlled, a lot 169 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: of people like to be victims because it means that 170 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: now they have a purpose. They just exist to be 171 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: emblems of how others have wronged them. And you can 172 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: monetize this. You can use this to grow your brand. 173 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: You can use this to grow your power, which is 174 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: really the dynamics that we see at play now all 175 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: across cancel culture in America. But that's right, Harry and began. 176 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: They live in what looks like a palace that one 177 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,359 Speaker 1: of the Medici family would have lived in in Renaissance 178 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: era Florence. But they're lives are really hard because people 179 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: in the royal family weren't always super nice to them, 180 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: or didn't treat them with all of the pomp and 181 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: circumstance they wanted, or something. It's not even really clear, 182 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: but just some some insinuations about racism and we have 183 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: things really hard. Feel sorry for us while we have 184 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: our multimillion dollar Netflix deal living in a mansion that 185 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: looks like it's out of a fairytale in California. Oh gosh, 186 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: things are so hard for us. This goes to show you, 187 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: no matter, no matter who we're talking about here in society, now, 188 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: it seems that there's an opportunity should they choose, there's 189 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: an opportunity to claim victim, victim's status. I mean the 190 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: case of Harry. You have a white male monarch, but 191 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: he's married to somebody who is a quarter a quarter minority. 192 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: She's one of her parents is bi racial and is black, 193 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: And so we have to hear about how hard it's 194 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: been for Harry too. You sit around and you wonder, 195 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: when is this too, When is this all just too absurd? 196 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: When are people no longer in a position to claim 197 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: at they're victims? But then again, look at some of 198 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: the most powerful people in our society. Look at you know, 199 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. Why did she lose the twenty sixteen election 200 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: because she's a woman, she says Lebron James, globally recognize 201 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: celebrity probably worth close to a billion dollars now, himself, 202 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: certainly half a billion dollars. But you know he's got 203 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: to do protests in hoodies and it's so hard and 204 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: talk about how the challenges of the streets, what it 205 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: is to be a poor minority in American inner cities today, 206 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: because you know, he's had to overcome that challenge. Jim 207 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: the guy's been I think he was on the cover 208 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: of Sports Illustrated when he was sixteen. But yeah, it's 209 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: been a really tough road. You know, this is what 210 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: we see now. Everyone's ang length is everybody wants this because, 211 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: in a sense, it's the ultimate power. It's invulnerability from 212 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: your own failings, your own poor decisions, and it gives 213 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: you power over other people. You can make demands from them. 214 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: And it also brings you sympathy. People are like, oh, 215 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: you're so great. Look what you've achieved, Look what you've done, 216 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: because you've overcome the victims status. People are looking for 217 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: this all over the place. In so many ways, it 218 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: undermines what we know is good and true and worthwhile 219 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: in America and Western societies, which is that every individual, 220 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: regardless of race, creed, color, gender, every individual is equal 221 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: in the eyes of God, but also is responsible for 222 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: his or her own life and decisions, and there needs 223 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: to be honesty about this. You know, we all are 224 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,239 Speaker 1: failed individuals in our own way. We all have our shortcomings, 225 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: and it's really a form of malignant narcissism to think 226 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: that whatever hasn't gone right in your life is because 227 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: of what somebody else has done. Wherever you've come up short, 228 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: it's because the system has oppressed you or held you down, 229 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: even when you're at the very top of the system. 230 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: Think about the think about the confusion here, that the 231 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: cognitive dissonance. You can be an ultra famous elite billionaire 232 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: and go on TV and cry about how hard everything is, 233 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: and people are supposed to feel sorry for you. I'd say, oh, well, 234 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: this isn't America. This is the UK, this is their 235 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: royal family, and people have a fascination with this, like 236 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: we're all reading some story book about kings and queens 237 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: back in the Middle Ages or something. But it's a 238 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: problem here in America too, which is why we've also 239 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: why our culture has latched onto this. Everybody wants to 240 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: be a victim these days. Why is that, Well, it's 241 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: because it means that they get all of the benefits 242 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: and none of the responsibilities of their position, and they 243 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: can get even more. This is a part of the 244 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: cancel culture wave in this country. It's also a part 245 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: of the leftism that seeks to tear down and destroy 246 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: everything that we view as objective, everything that we view 247 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: as an issue of merit, truth or falsehood. It can 248 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: all be changed, it can all be moved around, depending 249 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: on what one's narrative of victim status may be. You know, 250 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: you didn't build that, you didn't achieve that, and whatever 251 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: I did. If I'm a victim, well there's always a 252 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: way to turn that around and make it somebody else's problem. Well, 253 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: we have to acknowledge that what is the public likely 254 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: to do with any guidance that we give them. And 255 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: if we just tell people that they've got to stay cocooned, 256 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: that they've got to stay in their homes, that they've 257 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: got to continue to wear their mask even though they're 258 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: fully vaccinated, they're not going to do that. They're going 259 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: to disregard the public health recommendations. So we have to 260 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: get real. We have to say, you know, what what 261 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: does it mean if I've not seen my grandchildren for 262 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: the last year and I'm now vaccinated. My spouse is vaccinated, 263 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, can I see those kids are not. They're 264 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: not likely to have vaccine through next fall or next winter. 265 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: We have to be practical, and I worry a little 266 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: bit that we will basically stay with this idea that 267 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: we've had all along do this or else. And so 268 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: I hope that the CDC guidance acknowledges that people are 269 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: not going to do the extreme of staying master twenty 270 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: twenty two. That's just not going to happen. So what 271 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: can we provide them reasonable information that gives them the 272 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: best case for protecting themselves, Like you know what, you 273 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't catch me tonight in a crowded restaurant somewhere, even 274 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: with my vaccination. I think that's what we have to 275 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: concentrate on and let them do the kinds of things 276 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: that are really much safer. That's Ouster home. It was 277 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: a Biden COVID advisor right giving the Biden administration when 278 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: it was coming in during the transition advice on COVID nineteen. 279 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: And what he's saying is we need to start to 280 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: understand what reality is your guys, If we tell everybody 281 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: to mask up for another year, a lot of people 282 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: just aren't going to do it. And if we're telling 283 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: people they have to keep doing all the same things 284 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: they're doing even after vaccination. All of this is based 285 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: on risk profile, risk mitigation, balancing different things. Out Right, 286 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: we could say, if you wanted to save a whole 287 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: lot of lives from COVID nineteen, you cannot leave your 288 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: home for a year. Sorry, food will have to be 289 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: delivered to you by somebody else. You're not allowed to 290 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: leave your home. But that's too extreme, even though it 291 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: would save live No question, that would save lives from 292 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, it's too extreme. People won't do it. It's 293 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: not okay, it's not worth it. Now we're at a 294 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: point where, let's remember, lockdowns until vaccine at the start 295 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: of this was considered insane. Now we have public health 296 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: officials who are telling us that masking and mitigation and 297 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: maybe some lockdown, some social distancing mandates are necessary post 298 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: vaccination for individuals. I mean, look at how much this 299 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: moves over time. Here's the CDC on December twenty third, 300 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: Until every person in the US can get a COVID 301 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine, continue to wear a mask, keep at least 302 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: six feet between yourself and others, avoid crowds, and wash 303 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: your hands often, learn more about who can get vaccinate 304 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: and well supplies limited. Yeah, they're still doing the wash 305 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: your hands thing, by the way. Yeah, that's that's really 306 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna save us. That's gonna make a big difference. 307 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: That was great. That was in December. But the point 308 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: is they've been advocating for this for a while that 309 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: until everybody is vaccinated, you've got to do all the 310 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: things you've been doing all along. This is madness. And 311 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: if you're wondering, and I found this to be a 312 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: particularly interesting study. Over the weekend, people were sharing this 313 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: thing saying that that masking works. Study CDC report that 314 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: mask mandates lower COVID cases. So it works, that's what 315 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: we're told. I actually read the study. I actually pulled 316 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: from the study for you. Here is fascinating. Here's what 317 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: it says. This is the latest CDC study that they 318 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: put out. CDC report on mask mandates. During March first 319 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: to December thirty one, twenty twenty, state issued mask mandates 320 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: applied in seventy three percent of three thousand, one hundred 321 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: and forty two US counties mask mandates were associated with 322 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: a point five percentage decrease in daily COVID cases one 323 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: to twenty days after implementation, and decreases of one percent, 324 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: one point five, one point seven, and one point eight 325 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: percent twenty to forty, forty one to sixty, sixty one 326 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 1: to eighty, and eighty to one hundred days, respectively. Friends, 327 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: they're telling you here that mask mandates are basically bringing 328 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: down COVID cases over a period of months one percent. 329 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: But understand that that one percent is when the margin 330 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: of error for the study, so it could be zero. 331 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: That's how effective they are. Now Now I want us 332 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: alved me very clear about this. Were you told at 333 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: the beginning that your mask wearing might have a roughly 334 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: one percent effect on the reduced rand? How long have 335 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: I been saying it's about how effective this is more 336 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: than whether it's effective, because making us go through this absurdity. 337 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: When you add into it the changes in behavior as 338 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: well that come from mask wearing. People think they're pretty protected, 339 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: and then they are much closer to each other, more 340 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: willing to be around each other than they probably would 341 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: be otherwise, thinking that these masks are doing a great 342 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: job of protecting them. I will never forget that imbecile 343 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: Redfield that ran the CDC. The quote was, this is 344 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: back in September. More guaranteed a mask is more guaranteed 345 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: to protect me against COVID nineteen than when I take 346 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: a vaccine. That's what CDC director Redfield said in September. 347 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: And now we're seeing that mask mandates have about a 348 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: one percent effectiveness in actually the one percent. Friends, so 349 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: we all wear masks. What this is telling you is 350 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: that you know we're all wearing masks under ammand it. 351 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: Now I know they're going to say, oh but Buck, 352 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: it's not perfect implementation of the matt Well, okay, but 353 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: we're all wearing more masks. Shouldn't we see a substantial drop? 354 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: Why are we wasting our time with this idiocy if 355 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: it's only one percent? Oh no, one percent is effective 356 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: if it saves one life. Friends, that's what we're back to. 357 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to know why this makes me laugh 358 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: so hard. But he did say neander Neanderthal, thinking not 359 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: you're all Neanderthals, which she owned. She can ditch the 360 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: present tense because, as you mentioned, they are extinct. And 361 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: she's also someone that's been very vocal about denying evolution. 362 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: So I found it fitting that she used that. But 363 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: I just feel like that this is an example. It 364 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: shows there's not much to pick on. If this is 365 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: the words we're parsing. They spend a lot of time 366 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: talking about how old Biden is. Well, you're going to 367 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: get words like slacks and ornery and neanderthal. It's kind 368 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: of an uncivilized choice to not wear a mask when 369 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: the science speaks loud and clear. And I think that 370 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: it's you know again, as Sunny mentioned on the heels 371 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: of someone who could offend you know people four times 372 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: in a sentence, picking on an extinct Homo sapien seems 373 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: like pretty safe ground for me as someone who has 374 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: two percent Neanderthal. I represent my community. I'm not offended. Yeah, Like, 375 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: let's have people on the view talk about the science 376 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: and like the science speaks like really clearly on all 377 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: this stuff. Yeah, so clearly that a year ago the 378 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: scientific community, as as evidence by doctor Fauci himself, had 379 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: a completely different view. But but we've we've been told 380 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: except the one eighty switch in viewpoint and do so 381 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: because the science says so, even though no, sorry, this 382 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: is a very straightforward thing if you believe the Earth 383 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: is flat a year ago, and now you're telling me 384 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: the Earth is round, I want to know why you've 385 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: changed you're thinking. I'm not just gonna say, hmm, you 386 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: must have switched it around because the science speaks to you. No, 387 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: explain to me why you change your thinking. Because if 388 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: you were that wrong a year ago, shouldn't it matter 389 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: as to whether I believe you now shouldn't shouldn't it 390 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: make it different? Or if you thought the world was 391 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: round and now you think it's flat. Whatever. The point 392 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: is a one eighty switch on something so fundamental, so straightforward. 393 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: But now this has become such a giant virtue signaling 394 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: opportunity for people double mask. I mean I know that 395 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: people now that are saying things like if it only 396 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: works one This is what the news reports are trying 397 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: to say for the weekend. A one percent reduction, which 398 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: is effectively zero by the way, because of mass. It's 399 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: effectively zero because it's within the margin of error. You 400 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: don't even know, so the science doesn't even say that 401 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: it's reducing it. But okay, officially the numbers are a tiny, 402 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: tiny tiny decrease, a tiny, tiny tiny decrease. The speed 403 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: limit really should be fifteen miles an hour in this country. 404 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that, you're a monster who 405 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: thinks people should die. This was the argument I was 406 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: making a year ago, almost to the day. You either 407 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: believe in a fifteen million hour speed limit or you 408 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: believe that people should die in fiery correct, by the 409 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: thousands every year. There is no difference between the thinking 410 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: here on a one percent mask mandate effectiveness and a 411 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: fifteen million hour speed limit. By the way, better get 412 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: ready to wear that mask during flu season, because we're 413 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: told that flu is essentially eradicated by this that is 414 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: the official word. I'm just saying, I'm very curious to see. 415 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: Really the flu virus is so much better contained by 416 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: our measures then, I mean, COVID was basically not really 417 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: contained at all over this winter. We can all see that. 418 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: That's quite obvious. Okay, we didn't stop it, we didn't 419 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: contain it, but the flu was eradicated ninety eight percent 420 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: decrease in cases. That's interesting, isn't it. That won't be 421 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: the case going forward if we go back to normal 422 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: life and thousands of people die every year, particularly older 423 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: people die every year from the flu. So when I 424 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: was arguing at the beginning, we should have a fifteen 425 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: mile an hour speed limit, we should have been wearing 426 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: masks all along, and we're monsters during flu season for 427 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: not doing so. Based on this new logic, people said no, 428 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: and they got all emotional and they got all friends ether. 429 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: I listened to science, and I'm really smart. No, my 430 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: argument is sound. What I'm saying is true, was true, 431 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: is true, and now they don't want to hear it. 432 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: Now they want to pretend that what some of us 433 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: saw all along is not the case because it makes 434 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: them feel like they've been essentially fooled, or that they've 435 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: been believing something along that's not true, and their belief 436 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: in that thing made them feel like they were smart, 437 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: good people, and folks don't like to give up thinking 438 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: they're smart and good. They want to hold on to 439 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: that no matter what. But I read this study out 440 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: of the ZDC mask mandate. It decreased death rates as well, 441 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: by around one percent over a couple of months. This 442 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: is from breaking nine one one. Unbelievable. That's what we 443 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: were promised. Huh, really, we're all gonna wear masks all 444 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: the time. Maybe there'll be a one percent decreasing one percent. Folks, 445 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: that means ninety nine out of one hundred. You're walking 446 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: around with your mask on, thinking, oh, look, we're all 447 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: wearing our masks in public, because that's what this really is. 448 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: There's no mask mandate in your home. We're all wearing 449 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: our masks in public, huge amounts of compliance all across 450 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: the country, and you might reduce cases by one percent. 451 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: That's we're really gonna pretend that that's what we were, 452 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: that's what we're led to believe was the case here. No, 453 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: no Ah, I'm sorry. I remember the mannequin studies with 454 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: the spray and they were saying, you know, seventy percent 455 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: of particles, ninety percent of particles. Somehow it blocks seventy 456 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: or eighty percent of all particles out of your mouth, 457 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: even though viral particles are so small that they would 458 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: go right through the mesh of a mask. But they 459 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: say it it is clinging to the you know, to 460 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: the the spittle or to the the vapor that comes 461 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: out of your mouth. Anyway, they're they're claiming that seventy 462 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: percent of everything coming out of your mouth is blocked 463 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: by these masks. And yet it's a one percent reduction 464 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: in cases and a one percent reduction in depth at best? 465 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: At best? Is that what we were I mean, who here? 466 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: Who he really thinks that? That's that they're being honest 467 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: at this point? Who really thinks of what they're saying? 468 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: In any way? Lines up? It was wear a mask 469 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: save lives. So we've been wearing a mask for a year. 470 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: And maybe maybe they're maybe there's been a you know, 471 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. They would say a few thousand people, 472 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: A few that's what we're really talking about, right, four 473 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: or five thousand people that they think might have been 474 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: saved by a year of mask mania. And out on 475 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: top of that all the distress, the dehumanizing effects, the 476 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: psychological disorders, the constant disco for Like I said, if 477 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: you believe in masking, you need to believe, if you're 478 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: going to be morally consistent, you need to believe in 479 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: a fifteen mile an hour speed limit. It's effectively impossible 480 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: to die in a car crash if you're going fifteen 481 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: miles an hour. I mean almost impossible, right, meaning if 482 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: you're in a car and someone else is a car, 483 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: you're going fifteen miles an hour. Modern cars today, you're 484 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: going to survive that. I mean, unless it's a freak accident. 485 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: But you know, then again a car could just explode 486 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: for no reason. You know who knows, right, But you see, 487 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: we've established a more principle if it saves one life. 488 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: Look at the liquid you're seeing now, the authoritarian left 489 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: mentality and that you've been aware of for so many 490 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: other things. You know, if they have to take every 491 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: ten round magazine out of the hands of every American 492 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: in the country, and it plays it with a five 493 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: round or a seven round, which I know they didn't 494 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: really make, but whatever, you know, the plays it with 495 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: some other magazine size for a firearm. If that slows 496 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: down one mass shooter in one shooting by one or 497 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: two seconds, it's worth it. This is this is a 498 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: gateway to authoritarianism. We all understand that, right. I mean, 499 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: there's really there's no justification for you to have ever 500 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: gone out into crowded places because you could have always 501 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: been infecting people with fluid's around you, around you don't know, 502 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: you could always give somebody just a standard cold virus, 503 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: and folks that have a weakened immune system, they could 504 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: end up getting pneumonia from it. Now I know you said, Buck, 505 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: but this is we're taking it into absurd territory, right exactly. 506 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: We've been an absurd territory with this for a year. 507 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: They told you things were true that we're not true, 508 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: and they keep doing it and the social medium, you know, 509 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: oligarchs and the morons who run user Experience and all 510 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: this other stuff at these places, who aren't even like 511 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: the tech engineers. They're the people that are on the 512 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: on the softer side of these businesses, who are just 513 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: a little left wing activists coming out of schools or 514 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: they didn't actually learn anything other than how to be 515 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: woke and how to be grievance collectors about all the 516 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: oppression that they feel. They told you things that we're 517 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: not true, and you should be aware of that now. 518 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: You should understand that that is what happened, because they're 519 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: going to keep telling you things that are unsure about 520 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: all of this. I mean, the CDC is an abomination, 521 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: that much should be clear at this point. It's a 522 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: it's a politicized organization that has failed at every major 523 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: stage of this pandemic to do anything useful, and now 524 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: we're going to be gas lit in a way that 525 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: it had is just mind blowing. We're going to be 526 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: gas lit by people telling us, yeah, that's right. You know, 527 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: the psychosis of people running around screaming and other people 528 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: in some cases getting into you know, lethal exchanges. They're 529 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: people have been shot, people have been beaten to death 530 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: because they weren't wearing a mask. And yet here we 531 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: are being told that maybe it reduces cases one percent, 532 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: and that's max. And trust me, the CDC had to 533 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: find something. You think the CDC was ever going to 534 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: come up with a study. It turns out mask mandates 535 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: don't do anything. But the problem is they can only 536 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: fudge the data is so much if they told us, 537 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: is so incorrect and so ineffective that it's becoming really hard. 538 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: So now they're retreating into Yeah, it doesn't work that well, 539 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: but it works a tiny, tiny, tiny bit. M Okay. 540 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: Now the state can say that any level of infringement 541 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: upon your day to day life and on your basic liberties, 542 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: including your ability to just breathe normally. Any infringement that 543 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: they can claim might save some small percentage of human 544 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: beings from getting sick and or dying, is justified. So 545 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: you better mask up forever if you think a one 546 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: percent mask mandate is just, you know, one percent of 547 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: cases being reduced by a mask mandate justifies the inconvenience. 548 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: Mask up forever, because that's what you've established, mask up forever. 549 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: Oh theoh, COVID will go away. Yeah, there's still the flu. 550 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: There's still other things out there. Better wear your mask forever. 551 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: You're a monster. They were wrong all along, and I 552 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: know that, you know, I focused it on this one, 553 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 1: and I've been very just because people have been so vicious, 554 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: so nasty, so stupid. People think they're so smart on 555 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: this one, and they've been wrong. Yeah, I'll take the 556 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: buck position on this over the one percent is really 557 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: effective when it's actually within the margin of error, which 558 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: means that I can also make the case that it 559 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: is entirely ineffective based on the CDC zone data. And 560 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: you could say, oh, buck, but mandates aren't. Aren't the 561 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: same as individa Okay, Well, then why have a mandate? 562 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: If a mandate doesn't work, what's the point of a mandate? 563 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: If individuals should just do this on their own, why 564 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: do we have the government enforcing this, finding people threatening 565 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: to lock people up over this? Ask yourself these questions. Remember, 566 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: there's a strong case to be made that thousands of businesses, 567 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, and millions of lives. 568 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: We're devastated during this pandemic in part because social media 569 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: companies employed moronic parties in third party fact checkers to 570 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: for any criticism of lockdowns. And they did this while Twitter, 571 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: Facebook and Google got a lot richer That's what was 572 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: happening during this you know, even the Wall Street Journal 573 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: had to put out an editorial over the last week 574 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: where they they point out what I've been telling this 575 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: is the Wall Street Journal fact checking Facebook's fact checkers. 576 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: The media giant is employing left wing vetters to limit 577 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: scientific debate. They the Wall Street Journal points out that 578 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: they have a entirely mainstream, highly credentialed scientist right and 579 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: op ed crunching the numbers and making a projection about 580 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,479 Speaker 1: herd immunity being in the US basically being here by 581 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: the end of April. And the women's in Gender studies 582 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: majors out of Wellesley who work at PolitiFact, and they 583 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: probably even went to crappier schools and that, but the 584 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: women's in Gender studies majors that work at PolitiFact in general, 585 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: they're deciding that the science that the scientist is projecting 586 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: here is unsound, and therefore they limit the reach of it. 587 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: On Facebook, they are laundering their censorship and they're using 588 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: morons to do it. But they're left wing activists, moron, 589 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: so they feel good about this. They've done this to me. 590 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: They've done this to me. They took one line out 591 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: of context. They try to By the way, go to 592 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: Bucksexen dot com. You want to show the sensors where 593 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: to stuff it, go to Bucksexton dot com. Check out 594 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: our edit my editorials there. I'm gonna have another one 595 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: up tomorrow. You can listen to podcast there. It's it's 596 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: a website where you can also give us your email 597 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: because we're building out a newsletter. I need direct, direct 598 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: reach with all of you because the social platforms you 599 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: can't trust them anymore. You can't trust them. And some 600 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: people that have built really big social followings. Looking at 601 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: the thing, so this person somehow never gets throttled on, 602 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: This person somehow never gets banned or suspended. That's interesting. 603 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: M Anyway, I'm I'm very frustrated by this, and it's 604 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: really damaging to society. It's damaging to free speech and 605 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: free a free inquiry. But you know, Facebook is run 606 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: by cowards now who don't appreciate liberty and freedom and 607 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: the free exchange of ideas. They don't appreciate these things anymore. 608 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: And remember they set their business up with that promise. 609 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: In a sense, they're defrauding the public based upon the 610 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: initial promise that they were going to be platforms for 611 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: free speech and communication. I mean, this is really not 612 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 1: all that different. I know, we've made the phone companies 613 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: of utility, but it would be like if the phone 614 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: companies were private, and then all of a sudden they 615 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: started saying, well, you know, right before the election, where 616 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: we don't want this one candidate to win, so we're 617 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: going to shut down all of his phone banks and 618 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: we're going to decide that the person can't communicate. It's 619 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: really not any different than that in principle, and this 620 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: is what the social media companies are doing. But they 621 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: will even stop a JOHNS Hopkins MD scientists from looking 622 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: at the numbers and making a project. They will say 623 00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: a projection is false and therefore cannot be shared. I 624 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: make a prediction, That's what they'll tell you. You know, 625 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: I wrote on BUCKSX and dot com a few weeks 626 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 1: ago schools should be open, and they said, no, that's false, 627 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: because schools should only be open if they reached the 628 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: following criterion. Guess what New York City out today. Lockdown 629 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: Central just said schools are opening March twenty second. So 630 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: who is right and who is wrong? PolitiFact? You morons 631 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: and these like. I mean, can you imagine that you 632 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: go work at one of these places. You're you're like 633 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a little hall monitor of free speech on the internet 634 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: doing the left's bidding. I mean, honestly, the only the 635 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: only thing that is, you know, more intellectually degrading than 636 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: being a third party fact checker would be if you're 637 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: one of these people that works at Media Matters. And 638 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: the only thing more intellectually and emotionally and psychologically degrading 639 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: than that would be you know, I can't even say 640 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: the kind of job it would be on radio because 641 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: it's not family not family friendly. But it's just it's degrading. 642 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,959 Speaker 1: It's disgusting, and these people are shameful who do this stuff, 643 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: and they're hurting the country. And that's my bigger point 644 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: here is that we were never allowed to have a 645 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: real discussion about masks and effectiveness and the trade offs. 646 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: Because they just kept lying and saying this is the consensus. 647 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: They kept they kept changing the goalposts around and saying, no, 648 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: we didn't shut up. You're not allowed to ask any questions. 649 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: And I have to ask you if they did this, 650 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: and since we know they can do this for COVID, 651 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: for the lockdowns, do you really believe that they won't 652 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: do this for climate change? You think that all this 653 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: power they've acquired, all this power they brought together, they're 654 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: just going to give it all back and decide they're 655 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: not going to do this again when something else that 656 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: they view is really important comes up. I don't think so. 657 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: I think we're all quite aware of the fact that 658 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: their plan going forward is going to be to use 659 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: states of emergency for a similar shutdown of free speech 660 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: and inquiry, using the most powerful platforms for communication in 661 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: the world to decide what you can and cannot say. 662 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: This is now the Democrat Party, this is what we're 663 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 1: up against. The authoritarian left has seized the most powerful 664 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: institutions in the country, and we need to understand what 665 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: that means for us going forward and how we can 666 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: fight back against it. I said We're going to get 667 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: the government out of the business from battling on Twitter 668 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: and back in the business of delivering for the American people. 669 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: But making a difference in their lives can mean everyone 670 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: a chance of fighting, chance of showing the American people 671 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: that their government can work for them. And passing the 672 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 1: American Rescue plans will do that. Yeah, passing the passing 673 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: the American Rescue Plan. That's that's all we need to do. Amazing, 674 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: isn't it. There were some there were some Washington Post 675 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: headline that was along the lines of, you know, Biden 676 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: defeats poverty, basically a passing the American Rescue player. You know, 677 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: it defeats poverty for the American people. Places such the places. 678 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: Such a joke. It's so outrageous, so ridiculous. Anyway, here 679 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: we are looking at the realities of the one point 680 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars spend, and I just say, Unfortunately, elections 681 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: have consequences, and we're seeing some of those consequences right 682 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: now with this. Unfortunately, Republicans are not in a position 683 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: to really stop this from happening, and we are just 684 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna keep spending and spending and go deeper 685 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: and deeper to dead as a nation until everyone starts 686 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: to realize how bad it is and what this really 687 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: means for our currency, for our economy, and then it's 688 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:49,240 Speaker 1: too late. Then it's essentially all over. But we're supposed 689 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: to celebrate this. Now, we're supposed to decide that this 690 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: is a great moment for the American people. Why did 691 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: it take this long? They could have passed rescue stuff 692 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 1: about COVID many months ago. Well, Democrats wanted it their way. 693 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: Here's what the legislation has in it. This is from 694 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. Quote provides a direct payment of 695 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: fourteen hundred dollars for a single taxpayer or twenty eight 696 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for a married couple that files jointly, plus 697 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: fourteen hundred dollars per dependent. Individuals earning up to seventy 698 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 1: five thousand would get the full amount, and married couples 699 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: with incomes up to one hundred and fifty thousand. The 700 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: size of the check would shrink for those making slightly more, 701 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: with a hard cut off at eighty thousand dollars for 702 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: individuals and one hundred and sixty thousand dollars for married couples. 703 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,240 Speaker 1: Most Americans will be getting the full amount. The median 704 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: household income was sixty eight thousand, seven hundred and three 705 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty nineteen. The bill provides forty six billion to 706 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: expand federal, state, and local testing for COVID nineteen and 707 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: to enhance contract tracing capabilities with new investments to expand 708 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: laboratory capacity and set up mobile testing units. It also 709 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: contains about fourteen billion dollars to speed up the distribution 710 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: or administration of COVID nineteen vaccines. Look money for vaccines. Great, 711 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: they could have done this a long time ago. Testing 712 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: as a means of getting us past this pandemic is 713 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: also this is now just a talking point that they 714 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: won't let go of. I mean, yeah, you need to 715 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: have some ability to test, obviously, but look at the 716 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: huge ramp up and testing we've done, and you still 717 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: had a tremendous amount of cases and debts and hospitalizations 718 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: all throughout the winter, test and trace. By the time 719 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: they're really at a place where they think they can 720 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: test and trace this thing, the pandemic will have essentially passed. 721 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: What we're going to look back and see is that 722 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: one day at least we'll look back and see that 723 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: we really just were dragged to herd immunity with people 724 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: saying they were going to stop this thing. But by 725 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: the time we got to herd immunity, we had suffered 726 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: through the maximum amount of anxiety, tyranny, economic destruction, psychological 727 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: devastation possible to get us to a point that we 728 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: were inevitably heading to anyway, which is a huge amount 729 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: of infections, unfortunately, a terrible amount of death at all 730 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: these intervention to interventions, as Fauci calls them. And yeah, 731 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: we're getting to hurt immunity with a maximum amount of 732 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: damage done along the way that was unnecessary damage. I mean, 733 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: we were gonna have a lot of infections and a 734 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff happen here no matter what. But 735 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: you look at all the things that have been done. 736 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, just look at a side by side comparison. 737 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: They're out there right now of states with mask mandates 738 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,720 Speaker 1: and states without them, and you will see a remarkable 739 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: thing here. You'll see the same rise and fall on 740 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: the same timeline, irrespective of whether there was a mask 741 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 1: mandate in place or not. And we're talking about dozens 742 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: of states. I mean you line them all up, mask mandate, yes, 743 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: mask mandate no, and you'll see a rise and a 744 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: fall and they're right in line with each other with 745 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: no real discernible difference whatsoever. But we all had to 746 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 1: go through a year of people going where you double masks, 747 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: You're putting me at rasbar, you know, freaking out all 748 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 1: the time? Yeah, I know. I believe in science. People 749 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: that haven't read on their own about anything in the 750 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: world of science for the last twenty years of their lives, 751 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like they have been reading, 752 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, the New England Journal of Medicine every day 753 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: for fun. It's absurd. You know what the science tells you? 754 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: What's a bigger what's a You know, should is dietary 755 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: stodium an issue for heart disease? Yes or no? Should 756 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: he eat red meat? Yes or no? Is being a 757 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: vegan healthy? Yes or no? You know our antibiotics and 758 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: the food supply negatively affecting immunity, Yes or no? You 759 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: want me to just keep going, where's the science on 760 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: all these things? Well, there is science, there's data, but 761 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: there are arguments that are being made because it's not 762 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,959 Speaker 1: clear you were if you were like me, at least 763 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: I know many of you were browbeaten, you were shame, 764 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: you were forced to accept that the science was settled 765 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: when it wasn't. And when I say the science is 766 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: settled again, do I think that masks sometimes? Will a 767 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 1: mask stop somebody from getting COVID? Yeah? Of course I 768 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: think it works sometimes. Is it worth the mass panic 769 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: and dehumanization and discomfort and absurdity of all this? Now 770 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: they're double masking for a negligible benefit of less than 771 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 1: one percent or one percent? No? And if you're going 772 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: to argue with that, then you have to explain to 773 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: me why we don't have a fifteen dollars minimum wage, 774 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: why we don't ban alcohol illegal, make it illegal? Kill 775 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: so many people so bad? Right? People believe that there's freedom, 776 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: including the freedom to make bad decisions. And you know, 777 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: you could say, oh, but that's your own decision against yourself. 778 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: A lot of drunk driving deaths where people are killed 779 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: who had nothing to do with it. Ban alcohol, you 780 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: get rid of those, right. So I'm just saying, you know, 781 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: this is this is a question, do you want to 782 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: live in a freesis sidey or not? Do you want 783 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: to live in a free country or do you want 784 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: to live in a Fauci country. That's been really the 785 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: central debate of the last year, and the left and 786 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats that media have been on the wrong side 787 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: of it. Doctor Lena. When this woman was she was 788 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: an MD at Planned parenthood. Just you understand what her 789 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: moral compass is like. So she understands fully the procedure, 790 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: although she was not extreme enough for planned parenthood, which 791 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: is the really one of the most odious and immoral organizations, 792 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: not just in America today but in all of America 793 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: and all of modern history. Here she is, though, talking 794 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: on CNN about how they're really the CDC is really 795 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: messing up this whole vaccination post vaccination behavior guidance situation. 796 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 1: Play A teen. So we have what thirty million people 797 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: who are already fully vaccinated, that's almost ten percent of 798 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: the population, and we have not been giving guidance to 799 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: these individuals who want to know what is it that 800 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: I can do now? And the absence of information, they're 801 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: making decisions anyway. Some people are throwing away their masks, 802 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: which is not a good idea. Others just really want 803 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: to visit their grandchildren, which is something that we should 804 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: be able to tell people please do that. I'm also 805 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,240 Speaker 1: very concerned that we're squandering an opportunity to specifically tie 806 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: these reopening that's already happening in various states with vaccination status. 807 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: This is the time now to be saying, as an example, 808 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: maybe you can reopen a hundred percent for people who 809 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 1: are vaccinated, but maybe people who are not vaccinated. If 810 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 1: you're not checking vaccination status, you can only open at 811 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: twenty five percent. Keep masks on, but continue. But we 812 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: really need to be looking at how vaccination status is 813 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: tied to reopening and every day that goes by without 814 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,720 Speaker 1: that kind of specific guidance from the city. See again, 815 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 1: the governors, as you were just discussing, and Michael, we're 816 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: just discussing. Governors are making these decisions anyway, So let's 817 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: give them the tools to do so. Go fauci yourself, 818 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,879 Speaker 1: give me a break. Notice the mic chro management as well. 819 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: Some places could open up to a certain capacity and 820 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: other places could open up to another capacity depending on vaccination. Said, 821 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 1: how are they going to check any of this? Is? 822 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: You know, the difference in me and these these little 823 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: authoritarian tyrants is that I live in the real world. 824 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: How are they gonna check? How are they gonna know 825 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: The reason the CDC won't put out guidance is they 826 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: know that they can't. If they release their grip a little, 827 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: people are just gonna say, yeah, you know what, this 828 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: is nonsense, I'm done. So they're just they'd rather just 829 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: have total control, or at least believe they have total 830 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: control over people's behaviors. I know not everyone's listening to 831 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: them anyway, but this is this is ridiculous. But what 832 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 1: they really don't want to say is yeh, if you're vaccinated, 833 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,919 Speaker 1: you can start living a normal life again. They won't 834 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: say that. Why because there's still a risk. There's always 835 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: still a risk. What is it gonna take for people 836 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: to understand this. There's always still a risk. There's no 837 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: such thing as zero risk. But what they're doing is 838 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: pushing a risk parameters into the into absurdity. And they're 839 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 1: destroying freedom, and they're destroying liberty in the process. And 840 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,879 Speaker 1: for what for what They didn't even they didn't even 841 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: make everything better. Let's the other It's not like they 842 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: saved all these lives and stopped all the cases that 843 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: ever didn't happen. It didn't happen. We saw they fail. 844 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: They were wrong. How much more obvious. Does it have 845 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 1: to get Oh, but people weren't listening and they weren't 846 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 1: doing their masks. I'm here in New York City. We 847 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: had a second wave. We had a second shutdown. You 848 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 1: everyone outside is wearing masks, and there's not even any 849 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,760 Speaker 1: data to indicate the mask wearing outside is a necessary 850 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: precaution against the virus. That's how much we're masking. You know, 851 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: Switzerland just voted to ban face coverings. They did it 852 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 1: really in the context of more extreme adherents of Islam. 853 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: You'll have women who will wear either in a baya 854 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: or a burka, or you know, than they wear the nikab, 855 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: which is the face fail and or burker obviously comes in. 856 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 1: Burker always has a face covering face fail. Actually that 857 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 1: burker is full. It's just a slit for the eyes. 858 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 1: And they voted just by a narrow margin, but the 859 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 1: Swiss vote. It's sorry. Now you have to show your 860 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: face in public. You're not allowed to cover your face 861 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 1: in public. Doesn't matter that you think this is a 862 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: religious freedom issue. You know, you have to show your 863 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 1: face because not showing your face is dehumanizing and breaks 864 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: down public trust, and it has psychological impacts on society 865 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: that are really deliterious. We all knew that in this 866 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: country until twelve months ago, and now they want us 867 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: to forget that. There are costs to this. This, This 868 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 1: was not something we could just do. Oh, it's not 869 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: a big deal. No, it is a big deal. The 870 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: government thinks it can tell me to wear a mask. 871 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 1: What else is the government think it can do for 872 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: my benefit? Where else is the government able to just 873 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 1: say you can't live life anymore until you do things 874 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: my way? You don't think the people that are claiming 875 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,760 Speaker 1: that climate changes in existential threat will abuse this. If 876 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: you don't think so, you're not paying attention. In your view, 877 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 1: hours Joe Biden done on climate issues in his first 878 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: fifty days in office? What grade would you give him? Well, 879 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: you shouldn't take that from me. I'm just just a teenager, 880 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 1: so I'm not I don't have the mandate to to 881 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 1: sort of give grades like that. My opinions on this 882 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You should rather look at the science and 883 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: whether his policies are in line with the persuiements and 884 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: to stay below to one on five or even two 885 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: degrees celsius, and then you can clearly see that no 886 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: it's not nearly enough in line with the science. And 887 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: that's not me saying that's just black and white looking 888 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: at the fact she's learned the tools of propaganda, Well 889 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: hasn't she. That's missus Greta Thunberg, who is now an adult. 890 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,320 Speaker 1: I believe she is eighteen. So that means we're allowed 891 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: to actually criticize this person who is advocating for policy 892 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: on a global scale. She's a know nothing. She has 893 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: no idea what the hell she's talking about, and she 894 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: even admits that as part of the of the ploy 895 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: here right, Well, you know, I'm just a teenager. I 896 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: don't really know. But the science, which is just of 897 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: course in line with exactly what she thinks she knows. 898 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 1: The science says that Biden is not doing enough. How 899 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 1: you liking those higher gas prices? Everybody is that you 900 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: feel like you feel like you're doing a lot of 901 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: good things for the for the climate. How those high 902 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: gas prices feeling right now? Oh yeah, Joe Biden really 903 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: really getting it done, isn't he. It's It's remarkable, isn't it. 904 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,759 Speaker 1: For this? This is what we are up against, this 905 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 1: is what we seem the I am worried about the 906 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: US economy. The economy should be on a springboard right now. 907 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean the economy should feel like we are loading 908 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: up a catapult and we're just gonna unleash prosperity all 909 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 1: across the land. We fire that sucker, and instead it 910 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 1: feels like I'll let could go bad. At a moment, 911 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: you've got Janet yelling telling us that this package will 912 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: revive the relief bill will revive our economy. Play three. 913 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 1: You know, this is the package we need to revive 914 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: our economy to where it was. But there are long 915 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: term challenges that we have faced for a very long time. Um. 916 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: We have a key shaped recovery going on in which 917 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: high income people are doing much better than those at 918 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: the bottom of the economic ladder, low wage workers and minorities. 919 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 1: And that problem frankly existed before the pandemic struck, although 920 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 1: it was made measurably worse by the pandemic. So UM, eventually, 921 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 1: when this has passed, UM, we're going to turn to 922 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: recovery and to build back better and to address the 923 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 1: problems that have been festering in the US for a 924 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: long time leading to rising inequality. So that's the next 925 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: part of the agenda. But this will be a very 926 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 1: important relief, especially to those people who are really struggling. 927 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 1: Do you think that this crew knows how to run 928 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: the economy? You think that they understand how to get 929 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 1: things up and running? I doubt it. You know, this 930 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 1: spending package, I'm sure there'll be a moment here we say, 931 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: oh wow, look at this, Look how this, Look how 932 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 1: this gets things up and running, gets things going again, 933 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: and then there'll be the recognition in some time. Hold 934 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: on a second, where is this money coming from? How 935 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 1: can you spend almost two trillion dollars as though it's 936 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: nothing without that having an effect on interest rates, without 937 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: that having an effect on the dollar. Can we just 938 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 1: make it up as we go along? Why not ten trillion? 939 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: We're really in that territory now we have to start 940 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 1: asking questions like why not just spend? Why not go 941 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:10,280 Speaker 1: full modern monetary theory? You know, there are prominent democrats, 942 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: AOCS among them who believe in MMT, which just means 943 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 1: you spend whatever you want to spend as a government, 944 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: and then you do your best to manage inflation when 945 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 1: it comes. You know, that's it. You spend whatever you 946 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,959 Speaker 1: want to spend, whatever you think you need to spend, 947 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: you spend. That's modern monetary theory. How far are we 948 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: right now from that? And look, there was a lot 949 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: of spending in the Trump administration. I get it. We 950 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 1: didn't tackle the debt, we didn't tackle the deficit. Nobody cared, 951 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: nobody wanted to hear about it. You know, if things 952 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: felt like they were going well and maga and yeay 953 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,839 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, But well, now here we are, 954 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 1: and the Democrats really could care less about what we 955 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: say about that. And I wonder if there's going to 956 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: be a rise of a Tea Party like movement now 957 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 1: when people start to feel like they're telling me inflation 958 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: is zero, but why is everything more expensive? They're telling 959 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: me that the economy is good, but why is it 960 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 1: so hard to actually produce enough from my labor to 961 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 1: be able to get ahead of my bills. You know, 962 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: there's going to be the economy that they tell you 963 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: is happening, and then there's going to be the economy 964 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: that you are feeling. And I can assure you these 965 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 1: are not going to be the same thing. That much. 966 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: We definitely know, and that's why I'm I am concerned 967 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 1: that what will happen is we will see this this 968 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: uh spike of oh great, everyone's getting these checks and 969 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,640 Speaker 1: there'll be more economic activity. But we get into maybe 970 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: the third or fourth quarter of this year, when we 971 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,359 Speaker 1: should just be seeing a boom, an economic active. Things 972 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 1: should be going great, and all of a sudden, growth 973 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 1: is kind of sluggish, and people aren't feeling like they're 974 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,280 Speaker 1: doing better, and they don't think that they're they're getting 975 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 1: wealthier in this whole, in this process, or where I 976 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: say wealthier, that that their wealth is increasing, not that 977 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,040 Speaker 1: they're wealthy in the first place. And you know the 978 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to do at that point, you guessed it. 979 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: Blame Trump. They'll find a way. Guarantee the Senator has 980 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: never spent two trillion dollars in a more haphazard way 981 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 1: or through a less rigorous process. Voters gave Senate Democrats 982 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:19,240 Speaker 1: the slimmest possible majority. Voters picked a president who promised 983 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 1: unity and bipartisanship. Democrats' response is to ram through what 984 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 1: they call quote the most progressive domestic legislation in a 985 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: generation on a razor sin majority in both houses. The 986 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: right path was obvious. We followed it five times last year, 987 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: five rescue packages totaling four trillion dollars, and none of 988 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 1: them got fewer than ninety votes. The Senate wrote the 989 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 1: Cares Act, Republicans and Democrats shoulder to shoulder. That was 990 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: the road to real pandemic relief. But Democrats actually wanted, 991 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: mister President something else. They explained their intent very clearly 992 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: to exploit this crisis as a tremendous opportunity to restructure 993 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 1: things to fit our vision. That's how you get this 994 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:12,879 Speaker 1: massive bill with only one percent, one percent for vaccinations. Yep, 995 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: this is what Democrats do. They use a crisis to 996 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: get exactly what they want. And that's what they're doing here. 997 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 1: Why do they wait all this time? Why do they 998 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 1: make the American people stand by and suffer during all 999 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 1: of this When they could have passed a COVID relief 1000 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,360 Speaker 1: bill last August, when the initial round of funding was 1001 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 1: largely depleted and people were going to need more help 1002 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: and businesses were struggling. Why they waited, Well, because they 1003 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: wanted to use this for maximum leverage. That's why. That's 1004 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 1: why they waited. And this is another another thing that's happening, 1005 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: is they're passing this and it's very much a replay. 1006 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: It feels like a replay of the Obama administration in 1007 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Right, there's a financial crisis, Well, 1008 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 1: let's spend almost a trillion dollars on stuff. Want to 1009 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: spend money on that isn't about actually rescuing the banks 1010 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 1: or from insolvency and the you know, the credit contagion 1011 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: that could have happened afterwards. No, it was more than that. 1012 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: It was Democrats saw a crisis, and they saw an opportunity, 1013 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: and this is what they do, and this is how 1014 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 1: they get it done. And let me tell you that 1015 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: there's such a focus on this right now, on the 1016 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: spending bill, the almost two trillion dollars of spending, that 1017 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: there's not nearly the focus there should be on what 1018 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: I call Pelosi's plan to annihilate the GOP forever. I mean, 1019 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: officially it's called the Four the People Act of twenty 1020 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 1: twenty one, but they should really call it the Democrats 1021 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 1: turning voting into a free for all while gutting their 1022 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 1: political opponents Act. Look, Pelosi's been in office what three 1023 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 1: plus decades now, representing San Francisco, and Pelosi's been a 1024 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: member of the House almost longer than I've been alive, 1025 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,959 Speaker 1: which is pretty remarkable. And the Four the People Act 1026 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, better known as HR one, is 1027 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: really all about Democrats winning in chaotic and fraud prone elections. 1028 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 1: In a way, you almost have to respect the Democrats 1029 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:19,000 Speaker 1: ruthlessness with this bill. As soon as they could, they 1030 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: wielded their power for maximum advantage with no apologies. That's 1031 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 1: how they play the game, that's how they get it done. 1032 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 1: When Republicans find themselves with control of the White House 1033 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: in Congress, you know they're they're content with a decrease 1034 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 1: in the marginal tax rate, maybe emailing some think tank 1035 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 1: papers around Capitol Hill. Oh gosh, you all right, you 1036 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 1: know I'm comparing, you know, what what Milton Freeman said 1037 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 1: with with what Friedrich Hyaks said. And then there's John 1038 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 1: Maynard Keynes, And you know that's a lot of a 1039 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,840 Speaker 1: lot of GOP big brains so to speak, spend their 1040 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 1: time doing that, and Democrats say, this is what we want, 1041 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna get it, and we're gonna do it. They 1042 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 1: have a will to power and a will to use it. 1043 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 1: So I almost respect their ruthlessness, although I think it's 1044 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: so bad for the country. That respect is clearly the 1045 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 1: wrong word. Democrats don't dither when it comes to getting 1046 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: their way. You know. They introduced HR one four, the 1047 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 1: People Act, on January fourth, The Democrat controlled House just 1048 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: passed it on March third, and President Joe Biden's now 1049 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 1: strongly advocating for the Senate to pass it as well 1050 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: so he can sign it into law. I mean, how 1051 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 1: bad could HR one really be? You might ask, right, 1052 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: it is dressed up with a lot of flowery language 1053 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 1: about protecting sacred voting rights. Well, here's what HR one 1054 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 1: promises to do. Quote to expand Americans access to the 1055 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,920 Speaker 1: ballot box, reduce the influence of big money and politics, 1056 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti 1057 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 1: corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy. And 1058 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 1: for other purposes. Ah, yes, for other purposes. Interesting, what 1059 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: other purposes are there? What else do Democrats have in mind? 1060 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Remember this has already passed the House and the Senate 1061 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 1: is going to consider its passage. Joe Biden's pushing forward 1062 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 1: this could actually happen. It's all meant to sound fair, ethical, nonpartisan, 1063 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: but many of the details of HR one make it 1064 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 1: clear the primary intent of the bills to replay the 1065 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 1: only because it's a COVID emergency voting changes from twenty 1066 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 1: twenty and expand upon the nationwide. Democrats want to eliminate 1067 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: many election safeguards in the name of increasing access and 1068 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: federalize elections in a way that is contrary to constitutional intent. 1069 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 1: One of the big changes would be the legalization of 1070 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 1: the process that we know of as ballot harvesting. Twenty 1071 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: four states have this as illegal right now, but twenty 1072 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 1: six states have some form of ballot harvesting, which can 1073 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 1: range a whole lot. In some places, it's only when 1074 01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 1: your family members can do it for you. But you know, 1075 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 1: ballot harvesting is when a person can take other people's 1076 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: actual physical votes in hand and go turn them in 1077 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 1: at a polling place on their behalf. Now, this is 1078 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 1: not necessarily nefarious. There are some states where family members, 1079 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 1: for example, are allowed to do this. So if you 1080 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 1: got if your grandma's ninety five and she wants to 1081 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 1: vote and she hands you you know you live in 1082 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 1: her house or you live down the street, she hands 1083 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,240 Speaker 1: you the ballot, Okay, you're gonna go turn that in. 1084 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: But imagine what this means when it's much more widespread. 1085 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got immediate chain of custody issues with 1086 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,280 Speaker 1: ballot harvesting. I mean, if community organizers on behalf of 1087 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 1: a get out the vote effort can collect hundreds of 1088 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 1: ballots at a time, who to say whether some of 1089 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 1: them make their way to the polling place. Well, maybe 1090 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: some other ballots find themselves dumped in a trash can. 1091 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Ballot harvesters, under the guise of helping senior citizens and 1092 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 1: other easily exploited groups, could encourage votes to go a 1093 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 1: certain way on the spot, or even fill out the 1094 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,919 Speaker 1: empty ballots themselves. That's just the start. There's a whole 1095 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 1: laundry list. There's a whole laundry list of other election 1096 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 1: integrity measures that are loosened or eliminated in HR one. Friends, 1097 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: this is still very much a live deal. This could happen, 1098 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,919 Speaker 1: and if this happens, we're going to lose the next 1099 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: election too. That's the whole point. Voter ID requirements would 1100 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: be decimated. HR one would give anyone the right to 1101 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,200 Speaker 1: show up on election day and without providing a photo ID, 1102 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 1: sign an attestation and vote. That's all they have to do, 1103 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 1: sign an attestation, So that's where we are. I mean, 1104 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 1: producer Mark. If I signed an attestation that I was 1105 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 1: the greatest hockey player that ever lived, that would not 1106 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,680 Speaker 1: make it true, would it? No, No one would not. Yeah. 1107 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Automatic voter registration would also be enacted. That means anyone 1108 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,560 Speaker 1: who goes to the DMV, uses food stamps, or attends 1109 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: community or state college would be enrolled as a voter. 1110 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,919 Speaker 1: Some non citizens would also likely be enrolled in error 1111 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 1: because it leaves it up to the individual to attest 1112 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 1: their own eligibility. The list goes on and on. You 1113 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: got universal mail and ballots would be sent out to 1114 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: everyone on the voter rolls. They wouldn't be systematically perged 1115 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,760 Speaker 1: of people who have moved out of state. You'd have 1116 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people getting ballots in the wrong state, 1117 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: a lot of live ballots out there that shouldn't have 1118 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 1: been sent. You've got ballots arriving and being encounted long 1119 01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: after election day. Early voting expanded. Felons would have voting 1120 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 1: rights restored upon release from prison, and as we know, 1121 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 1: convicts overwhelmingly support Democrats. It's not hard to see the 1122 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 1: pattern here. Democrats believe these changes would help them win elections. 1123 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 1: They don't care about the risks of fraud because they 1124 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: believe they'll benefit from the chaos, the loopholes, the Shenanigans. 1125 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Elections aren't supposed to be federalized in this way, but 1126 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 1: constitutional objections mean nothing of Democrats like Pelosi, who, as 1127 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 1: we all know, sees a pathway to becoming a permanent majority. 1128 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,920 Speaker 1: That's really what this is all about. A number of 1129 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,680 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, A number of states rather have used COVID 1130 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,800 Speaker 1: nineteen for these temporary changes. In the twenty twenty elections cycle, 1131 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: they got things like a huge increase in mail in 1132 01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: balloting nationwide. States like Pennsylvania extended the deadline account mail 1133 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 1: in ballots beyond the actual election. With these changes to 1134 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: election rules, Democrats were able to accomplish big wins in 1135 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. We know Biden officially beat Trump 1136 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 1: by about seven million votes. A huge portion of the 1137 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 1: country still believes, despite the social media prohibitions on questioning 1138 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 1: the election, that there was substantial fraud. That's the reality. 1139 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 1: They can tell us, we're not allowed to say it. 1140 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: They can tell us we're not allowed to talk about 1141 01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:01,919 Speaker 1: but that's reality. If HR one becomes law, it will 1142 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 1: further hurt election integrity and confidence, and could rapidly turn 1143 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 1: America into a day facto one party state where the 1144 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,960 Speaker 1: losers no longer have faith that the system is fair 1145 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 1: or worth preserving. Okay, that's where we are. That's what 1146 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 1: we see happening here. So you've got almost two trillion 1147 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 1: dollars spending bill where Democrats are getting whatever they want, 1148 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 1: and they're trying to ram through a change the election process. 1149 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about amnesty and what that would do. 1150 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about the expansion of the Democrats, 1151 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, in their own mind, the expansion of what's 1152 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 1: possible or probable for them to get done if they 1153 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster. And people are already talking 1154 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,120 Speaker 1: about how HR one might be. I thought it would 1155 01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,360 Speaker 1: be amnesty, But maybe what they use, or where they 1156 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 1: decide the filibuster has to be used, is for HR 1157 01:05:56,760 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 1: one worth it, even though there'd be blow but back 1158 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 1: worth it, even though people would recognize this is an 1159 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: egregious overreach because it'll change the game forever, that's the 1160 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 1: way they see it. What do you think Democrats would 1161 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 1: be unwilling to do if they found that a certain 1162 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: action would put them in power for the rest of 1163 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: my lifetime. Let's say, I mean for decades to come. 1164 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:26,400 Speaker 1: Where do you think they would draw the line on that. 1165 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 1: HR one is supposed to be the death knell of 1166 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,960 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. That's what is playing out, and that 1167 01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 1: is what we are seeing. Everybody should be very clear 1168 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: on what those implications are. Everybody should really understand what 1169 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:43,160 Speaker 1: this means. And yet there's so little focus on this. 1170 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 1: Republicans right now, aren't. We're only united insofar as we're 1171 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: all suffering from bad Democrat decision making. But we need 1172 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,520 Speaker 1: a counter narrative as well. We can't just say, look 1173 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: at what they're doing, it's bad. It's look at how 1174 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 1: bad what they're doing and what we would do differently. 1175 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 1: And that's a piece that's missing right now that we 1176 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 1: need to Reinstate. President Biden supports raising the minimum wage 1177 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,960 Speaker 1: to fifteen dollars an hour. That is where he stands. 1178 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 1: That's where he stood for a long time. He believes 1179 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,840 Speaker 1: strongly that that's the level at which people in this 1180 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 1: country who are working full time can make a living 1181 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 1: wage and not be living in poverty. And he believes 1182 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,479 Speaker 1: that that's a fundamental matter of values. He doesn't believe 1183 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 1: that anybody in this country should work full time and 1184 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 1: be living and be living in poverty. You know what 1185 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,840 Speaker 1: I would say, Jake, is you know they're currently but 1186 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 1: there are currently no active discussions about lowering the threshold. 1187 01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 1: These are details that are going to get worked out. 1188 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 1: We just the Senate just passed our American Rescue Plan, 1189 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,920 Speaker 1: this massive effort to get aid to people who need 1190 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: it across the country and make these investments. So we're 1191 01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 1: going to the conversation is going to turn to how 1192 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 1: we tackle the minimum wage, and but the President is 1193 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: looking forward to working with Congress to determine the best 1194 01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 1: way to do it. But what I can say to 1195 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,959 Speaker 1: you right now is the President is committed to raising 1196 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 1: the minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour. Committed to 1197 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 1: raising the minimum wage for fifteen dollars an hour. Even 1198 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 1: though anybody that you know who owns or runs a 1199 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 1: small business will tell you that the fifteen dollars minimum 1200 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 1: wage is one of these ideas that sounds good, it 1201 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 1: sounds great. Actually, I mean, I can't say anything other 1202 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 1: than yeah, of course, I want people to be paid 1203 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 1: well for their work. I want workers to feel like 1204 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,599 Speaker 1: they're getting a fair deal here, for sure, But then 1205 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 1: there's economics and there's the reality of money and productivity 1206 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:39,600 Speaker 1: and how businesses would handle this, and it's just not 1207 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,599 Speaker 1: we keep coming back this. It's not what people want 1208 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 1: to believe it is. And I mean when I say people, 1209 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 1: those who are pushing for a fifteen dollars minimum wage. 1210 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 1: Eight Democrats in the Senate voted against voted no on 1211 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 1: the fifteen dollars minimum wage component of this. You know, 1212 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 1: they wanted an increase waged by fifteen dollars an hour, 1213 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 1: two fifteen dollars an hour by twenty twenty five. On Friday, 1214 01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: eight members of the Senate Democratic Caucus voted against it. 1215 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,479 Speaker 1: And there was an effort by Bernie Sanders to get 1216 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 1: rid of to waive a procedural objection to add of 1217 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: the fifteen dollars minimum wage for a COVID nineteen relief package, 1218 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 1: and that was that was defeated fifty eight forty two. 1219 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 1: So the people who voted against it are Joe Manchin, 1220 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:36,400 Speaker 1: Kristin Cinema, Jean Sheheen, Maggie Hassan, John Tester, Tom Carper, 1221 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:41,360 Speaker 1: and Chris Coons. And this is this is showing your 1222 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 1: right right now that oh at Angus Angus King one 1223 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 1: of the dumbest senators of all of them. And this 1224 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 1: is showing you that there's not actually unanimity on this. 1225 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: And it's in part, I think because people who understand 1226 01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 1: what this will do to some small businesses, there will 1227 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,240 Speaker 1: be job losses that happen. People will get fired, and 1228 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: there'll be more. We're required of employees who stay on 1229 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,679 Speaker 1: the who stay employed but have the fifteen dollars minimum 1230 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 1: wage now as as the floor for what their pay 1231 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: would be. Understand that really very few places have the 1232 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,800 Speaker 1: federal minimum wage, even if they're all generally being paid 1233 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,000 Speaker 1: more than the federal minimum wage. But there are supply 1234 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 1: demand issues, I mean economics. As much as we want 1235 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 1: to believe that it can be changed to suit social 1236 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,640 Speaker 1: policy and social justice, that's not how it works. And 1237 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:33,240 Speaker 1: then there's also I think there's it's worth getting and 1238 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,920 Speaker 1: it's worth adding into this that why go right to fifteen? 1239 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's basically seven twenty five right now 1240 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 1: or something like that. I think it's seven dollars and 1241 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,120 Speaker 1: no one even no one really it's used in so 1242 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 1: few places. People don't even know what it is. Oh wait, wait, wait, 1243 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,800 Speaker 1: before we get let's get to the actually dumbest member 1244 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 1: of the United States, Senate Maizie Hirono, who says the 1245 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 1: minimum wage should be able here it is play sixteen 1246 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 1: fun thing. The minimum wage should be in this bill 1247 01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,320 Speaker 1: because raising the minimum wage for the people who are 1248 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: most adversely affected by the pandemic should get a minimum wage, 1249 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,640 Speaker 1: which we have an increase in a decade or so, 1250 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 1: and it's a minimum wage I kept up with inflation, etc. 1251 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 1: It would be at least twenty dollars an hour. So 1252 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 1: here we are, we're among the last and all of 1253 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,760 Speaker 1: the developed nations in terms of our minimum wage. So 1254 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,880 Speaker 1: it should be in the bill. And frankly, I'm not 1255 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,640 Speaker 1: going to blame the parliamentarian, but what I hope is 1256 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,120 Speaker 1: that we will change the filibuster rules so that it 1257 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,480 Speaker 1: will take a majority bill rather than having the Republicans 1258 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 1: continue to be a roadblock to all of this kind 1259 01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 1: of legislation that will actually help American people. So you're 1260 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:45,160 Speaker 1: saying you support ending the filibuster to get through future 1261 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:50,760 Speaker 1: democratic legislative priorities. I definitely support filibuster reform, and part 1262 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: of that is ending the filibuster. It could be totally 1263 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 1: or it could be for certain kinds of bills. But 1264 01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm definitely open to making those kinds of changes so 1265 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 1: we can get things done that helps people, as opposed 1266 01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:07,040 Speaker 1: to not doing anything, which is the Republican's posture. Yep, 1267 01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster. Democrats talking about it openly. 1268 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 1: They want to create the pressure to get some people 1269 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: like Mansion to go along with them the Democrats side, 1270 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,360 Speaker 1: and then it's open season for whatever crazy policies they want. 1271 01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo running into some trouble. He's got trouble. What's 1272 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,759 Speaker 1: the latest trouble for Governor Cuomo. Well, he's got five, 1273 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:32,120 Speaker 1: count them, five accusers now females who are saying that 1274 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 1: he engaged in various degrees of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct. 1275 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,000 Speaker 1: But Governor Cuomo is also saying that he does not 1276 01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 1: plan to resign. What would it take to get this 1277 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 1: guy to resign, or better, what would it take to 1278 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,800 Speaker 1: make him actually get impeached. We've got somebody who can 1279 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 1: tell us about that and more. Our buddy Joe Borelli 1280 01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: in the House, New York City councilman from Statn Island, 1281 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 1: which is still technically part of New York City. Joe, 1282 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,400 Speaker 1: good to have you back. Always great to be here, 1283 01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:06,080 Speaker 1: and thank you. And you know, this is one of 1284 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,280 Speaker 1: my favorite topics because it can't be happening to a 1285 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: nice of God. How well known is it for everybody 1286 01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,639 Speaker 1: out there? How well known is it that Andrew Cuomo 1287 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,360 Speaker 1: is just not a good guy? I mean, before all this, 1288 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 1: I think people should know about this. Oh oh yeah, 1289 01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 1: I mean it is tremendously well known. I mean, to 1290 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:26,800 Speaker 1: be fair, I had never heard of any any claim 1291 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,720 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment or anything of that nature, but just 1292 01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:34,080 Speaker 1: a general evil nature of this guy has been known 1293 01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 1: since he was a boy. You know. His nickname growing 1294 01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 1: up as the governor's son was called the Dark Prince. 1295 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:45,840 Speaker 1: The Legislative Correspondence Association does the dinner similar to the 1296 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 1: White House Correspondence Dinner, and they parody people. And they 1297 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 1: actually used to parody the Governor's son Andrew in nineteen 1298 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 1: eighty whatever as Darth Vader. I mean, that's how terrible 1299 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 1: of a human this man has been, and how long 1300 01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 1: his reputation of being just a terrible person goes on. 1301 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: For now, we have the New York State Senate Majority 1302 01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:14,720 Speaker 1: leader calling on Cuomo to resign. He already said he 1303 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 1: won't resign, right. He says he won't resign because he 1304 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 1: wants to wait for an investigation to be completed. He says, 1305 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,760 Speaker 1: he's a just allegations or accusations or whatever. And so 1306 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 1: he's saying he won't resign. New York State Senate majority 1307 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,680 Speaker 1: they're asking, you know, calling on him to resign. I mean, 1308 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 1: at some point this turns into it's clear he's not 1309 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 1: going to do that, right, Joe, there's no way in 1310 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 1: your estimation he's going to resign, right, No, No, And 1311 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 1: this turns into a proverbial peeing contest. I think at 1312 01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 1: some point between the majority leaders and the Assembly speaker 1313 01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 1: and the governor, and I think he's going to make them, 1314 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,559 Speaker 1: you know, basically call the bluff and see if they'll 1315 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,840 Speaker 1: actually investigate and have an impeachment hearing. The problem for 1316 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,719 Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo is that I think there's actually enough vote, 1317 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 1: certainly with Republicans, there's enough vote to impeach the governor 1318 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 1: on impeachable offenses. I mean that the standards to be 1319 01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,320 Speaker 1: impeached are not the same as criminal liability. And it's 1320 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 1: fairly obvious that there was willful and deliberate cover up 1321 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 1: of the nursing home scandal. I mean, forget, forget the 1322 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,000 Speaker 1: sexual harassment for a moment, but the nursing home scandal 1323 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: is so plainly obvious, and just from what we know 1324 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,559 Speaker 1: from the Attorney General's report that he has committed impeachable offenses. 1325 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:31,160 Speaker 1: This drip, drip drip of stories and allegations and problems 1326 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 1: is becoming quite the puddle which mister Cuomo finds himself 1327 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 1: in today. Do you think that there's there's a real 1328 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:41,800 Speaker 1: chance that he may be removed? I mean, that is 1329 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,960 Speaker 1: that serious? Yeah, I actually do, and I know he 1330 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,879 Speaker 1: does too, because he's out there calling legislators very desperately, 1331 01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:52,840 Speaker 1: both on the New York City Council and around the 1332 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 1: state legislature, asking them not to make statements on his 1333 01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 1: own resignation. Now bear in mind you this is someone 1334 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen who called on the resignation of Eric Schneiderman, 1335 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:08,480 Speaker 1: then Attorney General. Schneiderman for the accusation in one solitary 1336 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 1: article in Vanity Fair. And let's suppose the twenty twenty 1337 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 1: one Andrew Pomo is right. Maybe accusations are something that 1338 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,639 Speaker 1: you shouldn't resign, or especially if you do leave your innocent. Fine, 1339 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: but that's not what he said when it was Schneiderman. 1340 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 1: That's not what he said when it was a guy 1341 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,600 Speaker 1: named Vito Lopez. That's not what he said when it 1342 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 1: was a guy named Dennis Gaberjack. That's not what he 1343 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,120 Speaker 1: said when it was a guy named Micah Kellmer. And 1344 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: the list goes on. I mean, the names are irrelevant 1345 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,840 Speaker 1: to the audience. They probably aren't familiar with them. But 1346 01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,919 Speaker 1: the names are all of men who have been accused 1347 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,639 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment. I couldn't even tell you the outcome 1348 01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:46,800 Speaker 1: of their ethics investigations or fact finding stuff, but they 1349 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,680 Speaker 1: all resigned in shame and pushed out the door by 1350 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:54,320 Speaker 1: none other than Andrew Bomo Amy Roebock, who is at 1351 01:16:54,760 --> 01:17:00,560 Speaker 1: ABC News. I guess I never watched the network news broadcasts. 1352 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 1: It's amazing to me that anybody does, quite honestly, but 1353 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,960 Speaker 1: they still do have, you know, big audiences. She was 1354 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 1: on Good Morning America over the summer. And now this 1355 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 1: is granted, this is before the sexual raspan allegations, but 1356 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,519 Speaker 1: I just want everyone to get a little trip down 1357 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: memory lane for the way the media was responding to 1358 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:23,400 Speaker 1: treating propping up elevating Governor Cuomo this past summer. Here 1359 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 1: she is played too in one word? Can you describe 1360 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,639 Speaker 1: the past one hundred days? He can? I see that, Yeah, 1361 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 1: you can. I think that's there. What still keeps you 1362 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,200 Speaker 1: up at night? You've been commended for your clear and 1363 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,200 Speaker 1: your calm leadership. People from all over the country, in 1364 01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,679 Speaker 1: the world have tuned into your press conferences. Your state 1365 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 1: wide approval rating a career high eighty four percent. You 1366 01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,679 Speaker 1: came in second only to President Obama as the most 1367 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:53,519 Speaker 1: trusted Democratic leader in America. How do you intend on 1368 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: spending that political capital that you've earned? If you had 1369 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 1: to give President Trump a grade on how he's handled 1370 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,880 Speaker 1: this pandemic, what would you of him? Well? Great? Would 1371 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,200 Speaker 1: you give yourself? You've said that you have no political 1372 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: aspirations beyond the job you're in right now, right A 1373 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,679 Speaker 1: lot of people are asking why why not think about 1374 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 1: something grander, bigger presidential? Would you accept a cabinet position 1375 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,600 Speaker 1: in a Biden administration? That was a quick no, why not? 1376 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,560 Speaker 1: I know that you've been portrayed as some sort of 1377 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:24,200 Speaker 1: a homecoming king of this crisis and headline from Jezebel help, 1378 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: I think I'm in love with Andrew Cuomo. The New 1379 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,719 Speaker 1: York Post dubbed you the new love gov. Chelsea Handler 1380 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,800 Speaker 1: wrote you a love letter essay in Vogue entitled Dear 1381 01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,320 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, I want to be your first lady. You're 1382 01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: a reaction to all that, your daughter's reaction to all 1383 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,719 Speaker 1: of that. When are you going to hug your mom again? 1384 01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 1: It's a very powerful interview when he is no holds part. 1385 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 1: He says exactly what he's thinking, as you know, that's 1386 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 1: his style. Well, you can see that you asked the 1387 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,920 Speaker 1: tough questions. I tell you that much as well. Yeah, 1388 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,840 Speaker 1: oh yeah, the tough questions. What's your reaction to the man? 1389 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,559 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much there. I know, Joe, but wow, 1390 01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,679 Speaker 1: it Buck, It's insane. But I mean, this is a guy. 1391 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,080 Speaker 1: You have to realize. For everything the media did to 1392 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,600 Speaker 1: prop this man up, to celebrate his sexy handsomeness and 1393 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,800 Speaker 1: the Cuomo sexual no one is as big of a 1394 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 1: proponent and proper upper of Andrew Cuomo than Andrew Cuomo himself. 1395 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,679 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who just fundamentally wants 1396 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:30,679 Speaker 1: to aggrandize himself at every single opportunity. The man made 1397 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:35,720 Speaker 1: posters of himself celebrating the win against COVID, which did 1398 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,560 Speaker 1: not happen. The man wrote a book, as we all know, 1399 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 1: leadership lessons about a pandemic that wasn't solved. And then 1400 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,760 Speaker 1: you answer that just this constant and never ending, whether 1401 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 1: it's any Roebuck or a Vogue magazine or whoever else, 1402 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:56,240 Speaker 1: just claiming this guy as this princely masculine model of sexiness. 1403 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 1: It was absurd then and it looks so stupid now, 1404 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,519 Speaker 1: I mean so fundamentally stupid now in hindsight after the 1405 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 1: sexual harassment allegations. Same thing with the whole family aspect 1406 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: of how we all followed who was having dinner at 1407 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 1: his house the boyfriend. I mean, think about this charade, 1408 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:17,560 Speaker 1: this guy went on a charade, but that he's this 1409 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 1: tough guy dad protecting his daughters from exactly the type 1410 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,200 Speaker 1: of creepy older man that Andrew Cuomo actually is. But 1411 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 1: it's just top to bottom, soup to nuts insane. Why 1412 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,960 Speaker 1: are people in New York state politics all the way 1413 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,520 Speaker 1: down to you know, state state assemblymen or state senators, 1414 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,720 Speaker 1: some city council folks, present company excluded, Why are they 1415 01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,360 Speaker 1: also scared of this guy. I mean, you get the 1416 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: sense that people are worried that, like Andrew Cuomo, is 1417 01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:47,920 Speaker 1: going to have them disappear in the middle of the night. 1418 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, clearly that's not what he does. But why 1419 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 1: are they so terrified of him? That's a great question, 1420 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:57,600 Speaker 1: because he follows through and he's popular enough where his 1421 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 1: support could make or break careers for Democratic officials. He 1422 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: also has been clear that the rules don't apply to him. 1423 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:08,840 Speaker 1: He threatened, think about it. He threatened openly over the 1424 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 1: weekend to release the files of Jacob which is the 1425 01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 1: state's investigative arm, which he's already been accused of interfering. 1426 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 1: The Albany Times Union, a pretty powerful paper in Albany. Actually, 1427 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:22,759 Speaker 1: we're in whole article how he uses the State Ethics 1428 01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:27,960 Speaker 1: Commission as his own personal defense team. He threw out there, well, 1429 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 1: if you think I should resign, maybe I'll throw out 1430 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 1: all the accusations about all the legislators. Now, he's just 1431 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,439 Speaker 1: supposed to be confidential. Right, A young woman or whoever 1432 01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 1: goes to the State Ethics Department and says I have 1433 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 1: a serious allegation against Assemblyman Jones, that's supposed to be confidential. 1434 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 1: And here's this guy just dangling it out there. We 1435 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 1: saw him blackmail in real time ron Kim. Ron Kim 1436 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,680 Speaker 1: had terrible things to say about him, granted right, accusations 1437 01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,040 Speaker 1: that he killed nursing whole patients, all that, right. But 1438 01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 1: he told the press he said, well, he's threatened ron 1439 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:05,680 Speaker 1: Kim personally and said I'm going to destroy you and 1440 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,920 Speaker 1: leak damaging information if you don't change your official statement 1441 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,760 Speaker 1: on nursing homes. And then he actually went out in 1442 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,960 Speaker 1: a press conference and spun this whole story, whether it's 1443 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,880 Speaker 1: true or not, as relevant but damaging that ron Kim 1444 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:23,719 Speaker 1: is beholden to some you nail salon, underground lobbyist racket. 1445 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how insane the guy is. Right, those 1446 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 1: are things he just did publicly. Now there's a laundry 1447 01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,760 Speaker 1: list of things he did privately to try to get 1448 01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 1: one over on people. He's excluded me from press conferences 1449 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: on stuff I supported and voted for. He's you know, 1450 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 1: there's allegations that he's used the State Liquor Authority during 1451 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 1: COVID to target certain businesses, certainly businesses that suit him. 1452 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,560 Speaker 1: So this is a guy who goes there and this 1453 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: is a guy who rewards people that work below him 1454 01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,719 Speaker 1: for acting in the same manner. What has to happen 1455 01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 1: we're speaking of Joe Barelli, city councilman from New York, 1456 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 1: from Staten Island. Joe, what has to happen for uh, 1457 01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,479 Speaker 1: for for Cuomo to actually go at this point, man, 1458 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,520 Speaker 1: we talked about impeachment and removal by the state legislature. 1459 01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 1: How long would that take and what do you think 1460 01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,120 Speaker 1: would have to change for them to actually be willing 1461 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,719 Speaker 1: to take action on that. Well, there's no precedent for impeachment. 1462 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 1: The last one who was impeached was Governor plane Bill Selzer. 1463 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,560 Speaker 1: They used to call him back in nineteen thirteen, and 1464 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:33,240 Speaker 1: the guy was a Tammany governor and actually was a 1465 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:37,080 Speaker 1: straight shooter and Tammany was very upset that he wasn't 1466 01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: giving them patronage or kickbacks or whatever it was, and 1467 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 1: they actually had the guy impeach. So wait, so they 1468 01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,559 Speaker 1: impeached the guy for not being corrupt? Correct, plane Bill 1469 01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,040 Speaker 1: Seltzer's it's worth everyone's you know, fifteen seconds of googling 1470 01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,720 Speaker 1: when when they're you know, picking their nose later. Um, 1471 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 1: but but yeah, I mean, there's no precedent, so we 1472 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 1: don't really know how long it will take to draft 1473 01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 1: charges and it have to trial, etc um. But I 1474 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,680 Speaker 1: think that's the only way. I think another way he 1475 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,679 Speaker 1: goes is if the President weighs in. I think another 1476 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 1: way he goes as if Schumer and Jillibrand and basically 1477 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:10,160 Speaker 1: the federal apparatus, the National Party. He doesn't care about 1478 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,679 Speaker 1: the state party. He controls the state party. The number 1479 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 1: one state Democrat is in his own good, so he 1480 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,000 Speaker 1: doesn't care about the state party. He does care about 1481 01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:22,680 Speaker 1: the DNC. He cares about his national profile, and if 1482 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 1: those people are now leveraging him to leave, I think 1483 01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,080 Speaker 1: that's the only chance to Again. The other thing is 1484 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:33,240 Speaker 1: in cornering politician Democrats and making them declare at this 1485 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: point now that they won't support him for re election 1486 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 1: in two years. And I think that's another way he'll 1487 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 1: see the exit door, if not immediately, but at least 1488 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,960 Speaker 1: won't run for real. So the National Party would have 1489 01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,160 Speaker 1: to turn on him, and then there may be consequences 1490 01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 1: from his own state party. You think or you think 1491 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,120 Speaker 1: that the National Party would would pressure him to resign. 1492 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: I think the National Party could pressman can resign. I 1493 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 1: mean that that that's where his care is. That's who 1494 01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 1: he's concerned with. You know, he's already proven he can 1495 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,160 Speaker 1: beat back some of the more radical progressives that pose 1496 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,680 Speaker 1: him ideologically within the State Democratic Party. So it is 1497 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,000 Speaker 1: really the pressure, I believe from above. I think if 1498 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,639 Speaker 1: he loses Joe Biden, if Joe Biden finds out which 1499 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:13,360 Speaker 1: room he is in at any point in the day 1500 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 1: and he realizes that who Andrew Cuomo is and he 1501 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: weighs in, I think is a good chance he goes 1502 01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 1: Joe Burrell, everybody, councilman for New York from Stotton Island. Joe, 1503 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,040 Speaker 1: I always appreciate your insights. My friend talks, So thank 1504 01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: you Buck, thank you well. I would say two things 1505 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,439 Speaker 1: right now, as you've indicated just today, we're dealing with 1506 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:35,559 Speaker 1: I think the most consequential piece of legislation for working 1507 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:39,160 Speaker 1: people in the modern history of this country. And we're 1508 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:43,680 Speaker 1: doing that to a reconciliation process, which means that we 1509 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 1: only need fifty votes plus the Vice President. And as 1510 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, this legislation is going to provide fourteen hundred 1511 01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,160 Speaker 1: dollars for a working class person and their children's can 1512 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,920 Speaker 1: extend unemployment with a four hundred dollars supplement on top 1513 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,320 Speaker 1: of normal unemployment. Put a whole lot of money into 1514 01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:02,880 Speaker 1: education so that we can reopen our schools, expand healthcare. 1515 01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:08,000 Speaker 1: It is enormously important. Sadly enough, we have zero Republican support. 1516 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,479 Speaker 1: So your point is well taken. In one way or another, 1517 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do what the American people want 1518 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,599 Speaker 1: us to do. This COVID bill we're debating today enormously 1519 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 1: popular among Democrats, independence, Republicans, and if we cannot get 1520 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:23,760 Speaker 1: Republican support in one way or another, we've got to 1521 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,840 Speaker 1: go forward. Now you ask me about the filibustate, is 1522 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 1: my position absolutely that democracy has got to prejail in 1523 01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,200 Speaker 1: the United States Senate. We cannot cannot have continue to 1524 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 1: have a minority who are obstructing what the American people want. 1525 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 1: So count me in as somebody who believes that majority 1526 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:43,760 Speaker 1: should rule in the Senate so that we can begin 1527 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:47,640 Speaker 1: doing the business of the American people. We cannot have 1528 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 1: a minority obstructing what the American people want. All of 1529 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,639 Speaker 1: a sudden, bodies about the filibuster removal does not want 1530 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:03,560 Speaker 1: the filibuster not a surprise. Is it obstruction? Obstruction? This 1531 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 1: is what they said all all you have to do 1532 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 1: is go back to what the debates were like, the 1533 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,679 Speaker 1: discussions were like around the Obama administration when Republicans didn't 1534 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,880 Speaker 1: do what Congress wanted them to, and it quickly turns 1535 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:22,639 Speaker 1: into obstruction. Now, when Democrats did everything in their power 1536 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 1: to abuse rules and precedent when they were in the minority, 1537 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 1: was resistance, hashtag resistance. But when Democrats in the majority, 1538 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:38,839 Speaker 1: if Republicans don't actively collude with their big government plans, 1539 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:44,080 Speaker 1: they are obstructionists. Isn't it fascinating how quickly that turns. 1540 01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,160 Speaker 1: It's very very clear how that happens. Oh, one thing, 1541 01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,200 Speaker 1: we'll get into more on the border tomorrow. But what's 1542 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 1: been fascinating is how it's how Democrats have been trying 1543 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 1: very hard to convince everyone that, oh, no, there's not 1544 01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: a crisis at the border. There. It's just a really 1545 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,920 Speaker 1: bad situation that's spiraling out of control that we can't 1546 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:07,120 Speaker 1: really handle. But there's not a crisis at the border. 1547 01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 1: Here's Jen Saki on that play fourteen. Usman or leader 1548 01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy. He's requesting a meeting of President Biden the 1549 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:17,360 Speaker 1: botanist issue. He's also asking President Biden to acknowledge the crisis. 1550 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 1: Will President Biden take that meeting, and I'll ask it again, 1551 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 1: will he acknowledged that there's a crisis. Well, First, the 1552 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,120 Speaker 1: President and this administration's focus is on digging out of 1553 01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 1: the dismantled and inhumane immigration approach of the last administration. 1554 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 1: And that's why the President has proposed an immigration bill 1555 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,320 Speaker 1: that would not only address the root causes that Leader 1556 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 1: McCarthy referenced in his letter, but would move beyond the 1557 01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: policy of funding and effective border walls by investing in 1558 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,679 Speaker 1: smart security at ports of entry, and would also create 1559 01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,559 Speaker 1: a pathway to citizenship. And we would welcome the openness 1560 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,479 Speaker 1: or desire to engage on that from the Leader or 1561 01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,800 Speaker 1: any Democrat or Republican who wants to have a conversation 1562 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:04,040 Speaker 1: about a constructive pass forward. Yeah, investing in smart security 1563 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 1: at ports of entry? What does that even mean? Right? 1564 01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 1: I mean, they say these things and you all know 1565 01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 1: that they're just trying to avoid telling you the truth 1566 01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 1: about what's happening in the border. I also get very 1567 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,439 Speaker 1: agitated every time I hear Democrats refer to border walls 1568 01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:22,080 Speaker 1: that don't work. Border walls work. It's very obvious, it's 1569 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,200 Speaker 1: very clear there should really be no debate on this. 1570 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,960 Speaker 1: The question might be how well they work and how 1571 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,519 Speaker 1: you can make them work better? But they work, They 1572 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:34,120 Speaker 1: work better than the one percent mask mandate effectiveness. Okay, 1573 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 1: that's for damn sure. Border walls do work. But Democrats 1574 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: don't want border security, but they're not willing to say 1575 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,960 Speaker 1: that openly, so they play this game. Democrats on immigration 1576 01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,719 Speaker 1: want to have it both ways. They want to pretend 1577 01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,639 Speaker 1: they believe in rule of law and border security while 1578 01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:54,960 Speaker 1: allowing for a day facto open border, because that's how 1579 01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:58,360 Speaker 1: a nation of immigrants, in their eyes, should operate. That's 1580 01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,719 Speaker 1: what's going on here and the cry this is getting 1581 01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,080 Speaker 1: worse and we will dive into the into it some 1582 01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 1: more tomorrow with all of the latest from our southern border. 1583 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 1: The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll 1584 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:27,920 Speaker 1: call producer Mark, Buddy, how was the weekend? What did 1585 01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,040 Speaker 1: you get into? Tell? Tell the folks they want to know. 1586 01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:31,920 Speaker 1: They hear from me for like hours, but you know 1587 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,120 Speaker 1: then now it's producer Mark's time to tell everybody what's 1588 01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 1: going on. Howard things? Well, my arm hurts a bit 1589 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: from what the vaccine? Oh is it a little sore 1590 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 1: it's a little sore. But if that's the only side effect, 1591 01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm cool. Yeah. No, hopefully you're not going to grow 1592 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,200 Speaker 1: like a second head or something. Then i'd have two 1593 01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:53,040 Speaker 1: producer marks telling me to be on time for things. Yeah, somehow, 1594 01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:54,800 Speaker 1: I think there would have been a media report by 1595 01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 1: now if somebody grew a second head. That's I think 1596 01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,760 Speaker 1: that's true. I think you're pretty safe around there at least. 1597 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:01,880 Speaker 1: Think this way. If you did grow a second head, 1598 01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,280 Speaker 1: you would be um, you'd be an anomaly, and and 1599 01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 1: you'd probably get like an interview with you know, various 1600 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,040 Speaker 1: TV stations about it. That's true. I might become rich 1601 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,360 Speaker 1: off of that. So maybe I'm right, Like not like 1602 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:15,680 Speaker 1: an Oprah level interview, but like you would get some 1603 01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 1: kind of interview. Yeah, I'd get attention. Was it which 1604 01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 1: one was it? By the way, the Maderna? No, it 1605 01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:25,960 Speaker 1: was the one shot John. I mean, they make such 1606 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 1: nice baby powder and shampoo. I feel like you got 1607 01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,680 Speaker 1: to trust them, you know exactly. It did not no 1608 01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 1: audience right now is people are like, how no Buck, no, 1609 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 1: big Pharma, don't trust them. But you know, I don't know. 1610 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,560 Speaker 1: I like I had their baby shampoo when I was 1611 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 1: a kid, you know, because it gets in if it 1612 01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,679 Speaker 1: gets in your eyes, it won't hurt you know that stuff. 1613 01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:46,880 Speaker 1: So no tears shampoo. Yeah, that's right, that Johnson, And 1614 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 1: that's what that was like my first shampoo as a kid. 1615 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,640 Speaker 1: I remember that no tears baby shampoo. I could have 1616 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 1: just learned to close my eyes, but you know, I 1617 01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:55,800 Speaker 1: was a slow learner, so I had to have the tears. 1618 01:31:55,840 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 1: Big head, slow owner, slow learner. A big head, slow learner, definitely. 1619 01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,519 Speaker 1: I can put that on a T shirt. Any anything 1620 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:05,240 Speaker 1: fun you watch or check out or anything like that 1621 01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,400 Speaker 1: going on. Off the weekend, my wife and I watched 1622 01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:12,160 Speaker 1: the first six episodes. I think of WandaVision. I've not 1623 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,200 Speaker 1: even heard of this before. Have you not even heard 1624 01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,680 Speaker 1: of it? Yes? On Disney Plus. It's the newest Marvel thing. 1625 01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:24,120 Speaker 1: It involves the character's Wanda and vision, hence the name WandaVision. 1626 01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,559 Speaker 1: It's very interesting. It's different than anything you've ever seen 1627 01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:31,320 Speaker 1: from Marvel before. It's a TV show. I enjoyed it 1628 01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 1: so far. Okay, okay, I mean, have you tried to 1629 01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,720 Speaker 1: sell missus Mark on the boys or she just not? 1630 01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:40,280 Speaker 1: She was all into WandaVision This weekend, I couldn't even 1631 01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,799 Speaker 1: we were waiting. So they were doing the two episodes 1632 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:44,640 Speaker 1: a week thing, so we decided to wait until it 1633 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,720 Speaker 1: was all out. So we just kind of binged, Yeah, 1634 01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 1: this's no princess, people. I posted a photo of her 1635 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,439 Speaker 1: over the weekend on Instagram and so now people know that, 1636 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 1: which is good exactly. I think there were some people 1637 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:57,840 Speaker 1: who thought that like, either this no Princess was just 1638 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,439 Speaker 1: a code name for Tolulu the French bulldog, or that 1639 01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,720 Speaker 1: there wasn't really a human being here. You know, they 1640 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 1: were starting to have their doubts. So no, no, she 1641 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:07,400 Speaker 1: is real, and there's a photo of me and her 1642 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 1: in Miami. Really, it was just because we were having 1643 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:11,320 Speaker 1: a nostalgic moment. I'm at Miami and I'm like, i 1644 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:16,000 Speaker 1: gotta post a Miami photo because man, it's it's nice her. 1645 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, well you've never you know, I haven't seen 1646 01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:19,960 Speaker 1: you in a year, buddy, are you But have you 1647 01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 1: grown like a big lockdown beard or anything yet? Or 1648 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,479 Speaker 1: you know, I'm incapable of growing a beard, So I 1649 01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,840 Speaker 1: look almost exactly the same, maybe a little heavier, but 1650 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:32,920 Speaker 1: aren't we all? That makes that makes two of us, 1651 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,680 Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, all my suits right now are 1652 01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,639 Speaker 1: like a little a little snug around the middle, which 1653 01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:39,320 Speaker 1: is just a constant reminder that I just need to 1654 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:41,479 Speaker 1: wear sweats all the time. I mean, I'm a wedding 1655 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 1: coming up in June. I just expect to have to 1656 01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,519 Speaker 1: go buy a new soup. Oh, I'm I'm right there 1657 01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,040 Speaker 1: with you, buddy. My brother is getting married this summer 1658 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: in August, and I'm I'm hoping I would say that 1659 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm positive I will, but I'm hoping that I'll be 1660 01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:58,360 Speaker 1: able to get back to my you know, my like 1661 01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:02,599 Speaker 1: fitting well into my my suit from the past, because otherwise, yeah, 1662 01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 1: I gotta go get another one. Yeah, but wouldn't you 1663 01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,880 Speaker 1: rent a tux or something for your brother's wedding? Aren't 1664 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:09,720 Speaker 1: you in the wedding party? I think I don't think 1665 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:11,680 Speaker 1: it's a tuxedo time. I think it's a suit. I 1666 01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,559 Speaker 1: guess it depends on the bride usually, Yeah, yeah, black tie. 1667 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 1: Not everyone does the black tie thing, so it depends. 1668 01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:20,920 Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, so I hung out with the Snow Princess. 1669 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:25,920 Speaker 1: We basically just just chillaxed. I got a I got 1670 01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 1: a new TV because I found out that getting my 1671 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:32,600 Speaker 1: TV fixed. This was quite a This is quite a mathematical, 1672 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:37,559 Speaker 1: mathematical challenge. Getting my TV fixed by Samsung was gonna 1673 01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:41,800 Speaker 1: cost me four hundred dollars. Getting my TV brand new 1674 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 1: instead of four years old was going to cost me 1675 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:49,040 Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty dollars. So I decided to just 1676 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,719 Speaker 1: get a brand new TV. It feels kind of wasteful, 1677 01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,840 Speaker 1: like I'm like, I'm building up the landfills of the 1678 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,519 Speaker 1: world or something. But what am I gonna do? You know, 1679 01:34:57,520 --> 01:34:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put four hundred dollars to fix an 1680 01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,280 Speaker 1: old TV. When I get a new TV for you know, 1681 01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,840 Speaker 1: on one hundred and fifty bucks more, you probably just 1682 01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:05,600 Speaker 1: sell the old TV too, So I want to buy it. 1683 01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:09,000 Speaker 1: Who knows how to fix it? Maybe I don't know. 1684 01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I wonder what the value is in that. 1685 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:13,559 Speaker 1: But it's like when you find out that a car 1686 01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:15,880 Speaker 1: is worth less than what it would cost to really 1687 01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 1: fix it. You know, that's kind of where we're TV 1688 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,080 Speaker 1: TVs are a remarkable and I really mean this. TV's 1689 01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:26,519 Speaker 1: are a remarkable expression of flat screens of capitalism. Because 1690 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:30,160 Speaker 1: I remember being in college and getting like one of 1691 01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:34,880 Speaker 1: those big cathode tube TVs that weighed like one hundred 1692 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,519 Speaker 1: and twenty pounds and the bigger the screen. You know, 1693 01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:40,000 Speaker 1: TVs used to be really expensive. Do you remember this? 1694 01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:42,800 Speaker 1: Are you too young? Yeah? I remember when, like my 1695 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,439 Speaker 1: grandmother bought me this huge box TV tube TV and 1696 01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:48,840 Speaker 1: it was only like maybe thirty inches wide, which is 1697 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:50,960 Speaker 1: nothing compared to what you can get now in a 1698 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,240 Speaker 1: flat screen. And that was like the latest technology. Oh yeah, 1699 01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 1: And you know TVs used to be like three feet deep, 1700 01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, they were big, bulky, heavy things. Yeah, And 1701 01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:05,479 Speaker 1: I I mean now you can get a really good 1702 01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:09,479 Speaker 1: name brand flat screen, you know, forty some odd inch 1703 01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,960 Speaker 1: or fifty some odd inch TV for a few hundred bucks. 1704 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:14,840 Speaker 1: It's amazing when you think about it. I mean how 1705 01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,640 Speaker 1: much the technology has improved. But then again, we all 1706 01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 1: carry around supercomputers in our pockets all the time, known 1707 01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:23,519 Speaker 1: as smartphones. And I mean I still remember when having 1708 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:27,360 Speaker 1: a beeper, that's right, having a beeper was like cutting 1709 01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,599 Speaker 1: edge technology. Yeah, I'm not that old too, Yeah, you're 1710 01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 1: not that old. Yeah, I mean beepers originally they were 1711 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,040 Speaker 1: for doctors and drug dealers, but then they went through 1712 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:38,639 Speaker 1: a little phase where people had their beepers on them 1713 01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:41,800 Speaker 1: so that you could just like have your friends call you, 1714 01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 1: and then you'd know to call them back, you know, 1715 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:47,040 Speaker 1: when you were out and about. But then then they 1716 01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 1: got replaced by the cell phone. But it's pretty the 1717 01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,880 Speaker 1: whole thing is pretty remarkable. All right, let's get to 1718 01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:54,920 Speaker 1: roll call Charles kicking us off.

If you're listening to this, all right, 1739 01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:53,240 Speaker 1: let's get to it. Charles Hey Buck Charles here in Florida. 1740 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,000 Speaker 1: My martial arts teacher told me a long time ago 1741 01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:59,360 Speaker 1: that as humans, we only have the rights we can enforce. 1742 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:03,400 Speaker 1: That means that might makes right in the end. Nobody 1743 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 1: ever won a war or a fight because they were 1744 01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,679 Speaker 1: morally correct. Example Roversus Wade. They made the wrong decision 1745 01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 1: to quell the crazies. Clearly more people have always thought 1746 01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,479 Speaker 1: it was wrong. With that in mind, I think back 1747 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 1: through my life. The right seems to always think that 1748 01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:22,120 Speaker 1: it's about what's right and good that promotes individualism. The 1749 01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 1: left aximum place of fear and gathers in numbers. They 1750 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:28,439 Speaker 1: outnumber the right in every aspect of life. This means 1751 01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:30,120 Speaker 1: that when you take your case to court, if you 1752 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:33,479 Speaker 1: happen upon a lib judge, you're done, and you probably will. 1753 01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:36,440 Speaker 1: This means that if you watch TV, you're being indoctriated 1754 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:38,719 Speaker 1: by the owners of the station, who are probably libs. 1755 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:40,760 Speaker 1: This means if you go to the movies, you'll see 1756 01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:44,559 Speaker 1: subliminal messages of wokeness because the director and producer are 1757 01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:48,360 Speaker 1: probably libs. Your kid is probably being taught by a lib. 1758 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,200 Speaker 1: It's hard to fight back when you're outnumbered and they 1759 01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 1: know it, and now they're bringing in more. Sorry to 1760 01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,960 Speaker 1: be such a downer. Well, Charles, you're in Florida. I man, 1761 01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: it's beautiful down there. You've got no state income tax, 1762 01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:00,439 Speaker 1: You've got Governor Ron des Santis who in the line 1763 01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:01,920 Speaker 1: for freedom. You got a lot of good things to 1764 01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:06,160 Speaker 1: be happy about, my man, So start with that. As 1765 01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:12,960 Speaker 1: for as for your your being outnumbered point here, or 1766 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,280 Speaker 1: how we're outnumbered all these places, It's not just a 1767 01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 1: question of sheer numbers. It's also a function of the 1768 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:21,760 Speaker 1: lib mentality. The lib mentality is that they have to 1769 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 1: inflict their bad ideas on all the rest of us. 1770 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 1: They don't. They don't view of neutral spaces as as 1771 01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:37,400 Speaker 1: desirable or even really possible. So you know, if I go, 1772 01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:39,880 Speaker 1: let's say, to work at a at a company that 1773 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,600 Speaker 1: sells shoes, as a conservative, I'm thinking, how do I 1774 01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:45,920 Speaker 1: sell the best shoes? How do I make the most profit? 1775 01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:49,200 Speaker 1: How do I make our shareholders happy while making our 1776 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,320 Speaker 1: customers happy with the great shoes we're making and that 1777 01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:55,760 Speaker 1: we we create something of value for society. And in 1778 01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,120 Speaker 1: that process, a lib goes to work in a shoe 1779 01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:01,599 Speaker 1: company and thinks, yeah, all that other stuff, you know whatever, 1780 01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:06,640 Speaker 1: But really, what is this shoe company doing to address oppression? 1781 01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:10,160 Speaker 1: What is this shoe company doing to address systemic racism 1782 01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:13,920 Speaker 1: or sexism or you name it. So it's a difference 1783 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:17,360 Speaker 1: in approach. So you're much more aware of the politics 1784 01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,880 Speaker 1: of the left because they want to use whatever they 1785 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:23,439 Speaker 1: can as a platform for those politics. And we've seen 1786 01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:27,599 Speaker 1: that wokeism all throughout corporate America as a result. So, Charles, 1787 01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:29,880 Speaker 1: it's not just a sheer numbers thing. It's also about 1788 01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:34,479 Speaker 1: the mentality. It's also about the approach. In Buck, I 1789 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:37,240 Speaker 1: share your optimism regarding states that have finally opened up. 1790 01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:41,479 Speaker 1: Hopefully Texas has enough herd immunity to absorb all these 1791 01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,919 Speaker 1: COVID plus illegal aliens they're dropping off in the interior 1792 01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:48,679 Speaker 1: or wherever they go once they get to the bus station. Ian, 1793 01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:52,040 Speaker 1: I think that the reopening is you know, we were 1794 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,680 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction, but the lockdowners are fighting it. 1795 01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,320 Speaker 1: You know, they're fighting it with everything they've got. And 1796 01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:00,360 Speaker 1: I think that that means we're going to be extended 1797 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,280 Speaker 1: here longer than we should for sure. And as for 1798 01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,519 Speaker 1: illegal aliens, you know that, Look, there's not a lot 1799 01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,880 Speaker 1: of there's not a lot of illegal immigrants who are 1800 01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,680 Speaker 1: going to be you know, who are going to be 1801 01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:14,639 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of COVID positivity across the country. 1802 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:16,400 Speaker 1: This is not changing it one way or the other. 1803 01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:19,080 Speaker 1: We're talking about probably hundreds, maybe a few thousand cases, 1804 01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:23,240 Speaker 1: but it's just really the government's approach to this, which 1805 01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:26,040 Speaker 1: is whatever restrictions they have to put you under your business, 1806 01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,920 Speaker 1: under a limit, maybe one percent of cases in an area, 1807 01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:32,479 Speaker 1: they'll do. But they'll actually actively send people with COVID 1808 01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:35,960 Speaker 1: nineteen into the country illegally not supposed to be here 1809 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 1: in the first place, and have no problem with that. 1810 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,759 Speaker 1: All right, Albert buck mate, I'm from England. Piers Morgan 1811 01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:46,680 Speaker 1: is not considered right wing. He's a Champagne socialist who 1812 01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,360 Speaker 1: says things to get attention. He is hated by every 1813 01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:53,240 Speaker 1: conservative in this country, actually by everyone in the country. Yeah, Albert, 1814 01:41:53,280 --> 01:42:00,639 Speaker 1: I know my Instagram live guest, you know, Case Smith 1815 01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,160 Speaker 1: said that Piers Morgan was right wing and I was 1816 01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,479 Speaker 1: kind of shocked by that because I have never seen 1817 01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:08,880 Speaker 1: or heard that. But she's from the UK. I'm not so. 1818 01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:10,719 Speaker 1: I kind of deferred to her on it at the time. 1819 01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:14,120 Speaker 1: But Piers Morgan is not a concern. The guy's anti gun. 1820 01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,560 Speaker 1: He's not conservative in the American sense. I don't know 1821 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,800 Speaker 1: what he is in the British sense. I don't know 1822 01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:20,840 Speaker 1: the guy. I don't understand why anybody cares when he 1823 01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 1: thinks about anything, but he somehow manages to put his 1824 01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:26,559 Speaker 1: name in the media, put his name in the headline. Still, 1825 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:32,759 Speaker 1: I don't know for what exactly, but there you go, Russell, 1826 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,120 Speaker 1: Uncle Buck, thank you for finally talking about the fact 1827 01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:41,560 Speaker 1: that Libs don't debate anymore. They rarely ever have conversations 1828 01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 1: with people who disagree with them. I truly believe that 1829 01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:47,120 Speaker 1: if I were an AOC fan and saw her get 1830 01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,520 Speaker 1: dismantled by any prominent conservative, it would totally change my perspective. 1831 01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 1: Please keep pushing debate, challenge prominent Libs, call them out. 1832 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,040 Speaker 1: It'd be amazing to see, though I don't though I 1833 01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:00,640 Speaker 1: doubt any of them would accept when they don't X, 1834 01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't well hold on, I doubt any of them 1835 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:07,080 Speaker 1: would accept. But when they don't accept. You can say 1836 01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 1: it's because they know I will destroy them shields Way 1837 01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:13,040 Speaker 1: High Russell, I'm with you on that man, Thanks so much. 1838 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:17,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, libs. Libs do not debate. There are all 1839 01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,760 Speaker 1: these brands that are that are supposed to be public 1840 01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:23,040 Speaker 1: intellectuals who are leftists, and what we see is that 1841 01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 1: they really have no actual interest in a debate of 1842 01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:31,920 Speaker 1: any kind. They if they have people on to represent 1843 01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:35,439 Speaker 1: the alternative point of view of conservatism, they're there only 1844 01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:38,560 Speaker 1: to just get annihilated and get mocked and destroyed. And 1845 01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 1: that's that's obviously not moving the debate forward in any 1846 01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:45,240 Speaker 1: meaningful sense. I mean, let me ask you, have you 1847 01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:48,679 Speaker 1: seen think about people. Have you ever seen Rachel Mattaw 1848 01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:52,880 Speaker 1: or Anderson Cooper or Chris Hayes, or just go down 1849 01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:55,360 Speaker 1: the list, any of these people in a debate with 1850 01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,519 Speaker 1: a prominent conservative who can really hold his own or 1851 01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,519 Speaker 1: her own No, you don't see that. Why is that 1852 01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:05,280 Speaker 1: because the left won't debate. Continuing on with our Monday 1853 01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:09,400 Speaker 1: roll call, we got Nate Hey Buck, great work, keep 1854 01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,080 Speaker 1: it up. There's a much simpler reason for the fences 1855 01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:15,840 Speaker 1: in DC lockdown. All the fearmongering is simply a smokescreen. 1856 01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:19,439 Speaker 1: The real reason is to avoid Democrat embarrassment when President 1857 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:22,160 Speaker 1: silver Alert forgets who where he is and wanders off. 1858 01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:26,679 Speaker 1: Would hate to lose him. Uh so Nate's making a joke, 1859 01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 1: producer Mark, Right, Yes, I believe he's joking about our president. Yes, 1860 01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 1: well not our president, but you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, 1861 01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,280 Speaker 1: well it's technically a president. What is a silver Alert? 1862 01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:41,759 Speaker 1: I think maybe a life alert button. Maybe that's the joke. Okay, 1863 01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:43,560 Speaker 1: is that like a version of a life alert, like 1864 01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:46,360 Speaker 1: like the Remember remember that old commercial I fall it 1865 01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:50,679 Speaker 1: and I can't get up? Remember that? Of course? Yeah, 1866 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:54,080 Speaker 1: that that commercial became like a cultural icon for a 1867 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:58,240 Speaker 1: while because of the of the old lady that that was. 1868 01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:09,479 Speaker 1: You know, yell that thing depressure, summer suffage, depressure. Yeah, 1869 01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:13,040 Speaker 1: it's that. That's he is our president, Mark, That is true. 1870 01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,880 Speaker 1: It's true. Yeah, we're not allowed to go shout in 1871 01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:17,680 Speaker 1: the streets, not our president. We don't do something. I 1872 01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:19,600 Speaker 1: just want everyone to remember that I told them that 1873 01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:23,240 Speaker 1: that the day will come when the guy basically walks 1874 01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,040 Speaker 1: out on stage without his pants on, I mean metaphorically speaking, 1875 01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 1: or maybe even without his pants. It's gonna do that, 1876 01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:30,559 Speaker 1: and there are gonna be a lot of Libs out 1877 01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:35,320 Speaker 1: there whose position on all of this is um Oh, 1878 01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,080 Speaker 1: we had no idea, but I guess we've just got 1879 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:40,600 Speaker 1: to make Kamalo the president. Now, that's what's gonna end 1880 01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:48,200 Speaker 1: up happening bad. It kept turn scrubbing Scuba. That's what's 1881 01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna That's what Biden's gonna say about it when it happens. Pablo, Oh, 1882 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,280 Speaker 1: I know this is gonna be unpopular, but here it goes. 1883 01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:59,560 Speaker 1: I think that if Trump ran in one again, it 1884 01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:03,240 Speaker 1: could earth the party. Here's my reasoning. If he won, 1885 01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:07,080 Speaker 1: he would be a newly elected lame duck candidate. It 1886 01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:09,040 Speaker 1: would have been different if he was reelective, but now 1887 01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:11,920 Speaker 1: he'd be a one term president again. I was on 1888 01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:13,960 Speaker 1: board with Donald J. Trump for the time he came 1889 01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,479 Speaker 1: down the elevator, but now I do believe he would 1890 01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,639 Speaker 1: be better in the role of figurehead for the GOP. 1891 01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:20,840 Speaker 1: The ticket I would love to see, and I know 1892 01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:24,280 Speaker 1: it's early, is a desantist Pompeo ticket. I believe this 1893 01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,040 Speaker 1: ticket is the one the GOOP could get behind. One 1894 01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:30,920 Speaker 1: of your thoughts, you know, Pablo, I don't I don't 1895 01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,160 Speaker 1: have a ticket in mind right now. Obviously, I think 1896 01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,600 Speaker 1: Desantists has really shown us some great stuff in the 1897 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:39,679 Speaker 1: last year, and I gotta give some all due credit 1898 01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:43,320 Speaker 1: to Desantists, but I mean a Pompeo ticket. You know, 1899 01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:46,280 Speaker 1: maybe I like the former Secretary of State. Is I 1900 01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,160 Speaker 1: think he'd be good? I don't. I don't know. I 1901 01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,160 Speaker 1: gotta think about it. As to your thoughts on Trump, 1902 01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:52,720 Speaker 1: I gotta think about that too. But we're at the 1903 01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:54,120 Speaker 1: end of the show, so I can kind of hit 1904 01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:57,320 Speaker 1: the bailout and come back to it button. Pablo, team, 1905 01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,920 Speaker 1: please give me those reviews on the Apple podcast store 1906 01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,599 Speaker 1: of The Buck Sexton Show, five stars write a little 1907 01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:06,720 Speaker 1: something nice, Producer Mark, I'll appreciate it. Shield's Eye
