1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again. 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum, 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: sunflower seeds.

Cyber security is one coming 46 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: out of Russia, and then the other issue right here 47 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: at home happens to be what's going on at our border. 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: We have new details as Donald Trump announces he's heading 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: down there.

Said it would matter. This is not about 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: just our self interest, It's about a mutual self interest. 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: I'll take your questions, and as usual, folks, they gave 59 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: me a list of the people I'm going to call on, 60 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: So Jonathan associated Press. Of course there's always a list, 61 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: right of the people that you're supposed to call on. 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: Was that a threat? I wonder from President Biden to 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: vladim and Putin when he said, how would you feel? 64 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Was that a reminder that you know what, we can 65 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: play this game too? Hello, everyone, welcome, Welcome to I'm right, 66 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: I am tru Strigan. I'm in for Jesse Kelly, and 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: it's a big deal summit Putin and our President Biden 68 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: finally sitting down together to talk through some of the issues, 69 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: namely on our side, the cyber attacks. I mean, when 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: you think of what's been going on RecA, with solar winds, 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: with Colonial pipeline, with JBS, you know, they're hitting us 72 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: where it counts, with energy, with food, with the vital 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: things that Americans need, JBS being the largest meat supplier 74 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: to the US, colonial pipeline transporting most of the energy 75 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: up and down the East Coast, and so Putin has 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: made it very clear by harboring these people, these computer 77 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: experts that can engage in this kind of hacking, in 78 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: this kind of attacks, by harboring them, by allowing them 79 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: to exist in his neck of the woods. He's effectively 80 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: giving them that wink wink that now not allowing them 81 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: to do these attacks, engage in these attacks on American companies. 82 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: He's trying to make his voice hurt. Right, Let's face it. 83 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not that an important a country in 84 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: the overall scheme of things, compared to compared to US, 85 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: or even compared to China for that matter. You're talking 86 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: about an economy that's worth at one point eight trillion 87 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: dollars compared to the US is twenty two trillion. So 88 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: just to keep that all in perspective, now, they don't 89 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: really matter on the worldwide front, but they can sure 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: cause a lot of pain, now, can't they If they 91 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: shut down our energy industry, if they shut down our meat, 92 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: our food industry. And so for that reason, it is 93 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: critical that Joe Biden, yes, confront him head on and 94 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: if need be, let him know that two can play 95 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: that game, and that we can do just as much damage, 96 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: and let it be known that we're not okay with this. 97 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: If this is not going to fly, and if we 98 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: continue to see more of these cyber attacks, then there 99 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: will be h double l for Russia to pay. But 100 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: when you think about our security vulnerabilities right now, you 101 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: can't just look at Russia, which of course is a 102 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: big deal right now, given what's going on in Geneva. 103 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what else is a very big deal, 104 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: and that's the border with Mexico. And increasingly we have 105 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: seen an administration that is trying, deliberately trying to ignore 106 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: this issue, considered the fact that Kamala Harris hasn't even 107 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: bothered to go, nor has Joe Biden. But Kamala Harris, 108 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: who's allegedly in charge of this whole thing, she'll go 109 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: to Guatemala, but she won't go to the border itself. 110 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: And that's a problem, a problem that well Donald Trump 111 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: is willing to highlight and showcase and take a little 112 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: advantage of. In fact, he just announced he's heading down 113 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: to the Texas border himself. He was invited, he said, 114 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: by none other than Governor Abbott, the governor of Texas, 115 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: and he issued a statement I'll share with you. He said, 116 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: I have accepted the invitation of Texas Governor Greg Abbott 117 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: to join him on an official visit to our nation's 118 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: decimated southern border on Wednesday, June thirty to twenty twenty one, 119 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: the Biden administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and 120 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: most secure border in US history, and in mere weeks 121 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: they turned it into the single worst border crisis in 122 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: US history. It's an unmitigated disaster zone. Yeah, I mean, 123 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty unthinkable when you consider that they were 124 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: handed a situation that was under control, and all it 125 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: took was a few words. All it took was the 126 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: promise of US saying, you know what, We're not going 127 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: to turn anyone away. We're not going to turn any 128 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: child away. And within days you had people flooding the 129 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: border now up to the highest level we've ever seen 130 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: in the history of this country, with one hundred and 131 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: eighty thousand plus border encounters happening last month alone, and 132 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: that was an increase of small one, albeit over the 133 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: month of April, but also up over six hundred percent 134 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: from this time last year. It's clear we do have 135 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: a problem and somebody's going to have to do something 136 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: about Gosh, the people of Texas, they want to do 137 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: something about it, and the governor is right there with them. 138 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Listen to how he Governor Abbott wants to build his 139 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: own wall. Defense is only a temporary solution. The real 140 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: solution that President Trump began to put in place that 141 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Texas is going to continue, and that is later on 142 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: this week, I will be announcing what the Texas plan 143 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: is for building a border wall. We will continue that 144 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: process of building the border wall, in addition to these 145 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: other strategies that we will use to make sure that 146 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: anybody come in here will understand Texas is the wrong 147 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: state to come into. Don't mess with Texas, as they say, 148 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: right Well, Texans are taking it into their own hands. 149 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: Governor Abbott is taking it into his own hands with 150 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: the people. And now President Trump is going down there 151 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: for a big photo op, effectively shaming Thamala Harris. Kamala Harris, 152 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: think about that. How could you be in charge of 153 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: such a big project and I don't even go and 154 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: see the tragedy that is unfolding before our eyes right now, 155 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: And how could you go and tell Lester Hauled it's 156 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: no big deal. You haven't been a lot of places. 157 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: You haven't been to Europe. Oh maybe that was a 158 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: dig and her not getting to go to the big 159 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: summit and sit down with Putin herself. I'll tell you 160 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: it's not what you say when you have been charged 161 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: with such a massive, difficult task as trying to contain 162 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: the border situation. And you know what, even CNN reporters 163 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: know that, I want you to take a look at 164 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: this montage next. You haven't been to the border, and 165 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: I haven't been to Europe, and I don't know. I 166 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: don't understand the point that you're making. I've said I'm 167 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: going to go to the border, and when are you 168 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: going to the border? Vice President Administration has asked her. 169 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm not finished. I've said I'm going to the border. 170 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: It's just a little cringeworthy. And I know that her 171 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: allies in the White House and elsewhere are watching it 172 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: and just kind of wondering what is going on. How 173 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: poorly did this go for her in her first foray 174 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: onto the world stage. Well, it certainly didn't go the 175 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: way the White House wanted it to go. I'd say, 176 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: you know what, that was just a total utter train Wren. 177 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. It kind of exposes and showcases her 178 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: lack of maturity, if you would, her lack of seasoning 179 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: on the political and the media front. I mean, if 180 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: this is your job right to get the border situation 181 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: under control. I realized she didn't want I mean, who 182 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: the heck would want that right if you're a Democrat 183 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: right now with future aspirations. But it is her job. 184 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean it, Granted she could not. Let's be very clear, 185 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: she could not have gotten elected to that office herself. 186 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: Just look at her miserable numbers in the New Hampshire 187 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: primary where she got maybe a hundred votes at best 188 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: and she had to drop out. So she did not 189 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: get that position because she was elected to it, or 190 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: even because she had had much of a showing in 191 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: any of the primary states. No, she got that position 192 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: because she certainly checked a whole lot of boxes. I 193 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: get it. Well, that's fine to check the boxes, but 194 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: sometimes you got to actually do the work, and in 195 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: this case, it's a serious amount of work getting the 196 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: border situation under control, which makes me wonder, you know, 197 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if Joe Biden at all had any sense. 198 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: But I think he did know what he was doing. 199 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: I think that Joe Biden actually deliberately gave her this 200 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: assignment because he knew that it was a tough one 201 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: and he wanted her to have a tough one. You 202 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: know why, the guys get a memory. And he's not 203 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: going to forget this. But I also believe and it's personal, 204 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: and I was actually very It was hurtful to hear 205 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: you talk about the reputations of two United States senators 206 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: who built their reputations and career on the segregation of 207 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: race in this country. And it was not only that, 208 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: but you also worked with them to a post bussing 209 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: and you know, there was a little girl in California 210 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: who was part of the second class to integrate her 211 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: public schools and she was bussed to school every day, 212 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: and that little girl was me. I'll tell you it 213 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: was awful. I mean, it was just a total train wreck. 214 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: And he couldn't defend himself at all against this. And 215 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: you know what, he hasn't forgotten it, nor has his wife, 216 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: for that matter, who brought it up. According to a 217 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: New York Post story the following day, in a call 218 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: with donors, and she spoke about Kamala Harris and not 219 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: shall we say the most positive way. There may have 220 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: been some obscenities involved. Anyway, nobody's forgotten, right, Joe Biden 221 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: hasn't forgotten Joe Biden. Jill Biden hasn't forgotten, and so 222 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to giving Kamala an assignment, Joe Biden 223 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: gave her a pretty tough assignment, and so she's trying 224 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: to ignore it, like to pretend it doesn't exist. She 225 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: thinks if she just doesn't go to the border, when 226 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: people will stop asking, the media will forget. It's not 227 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: that easy, because you know what, this is a crisis. 228 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: So again, we are facing our share of crises, whether 229 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: it be cyber hacking from Russia, whether it be our 230 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: own border right at home. It is high time that 231 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: we do something about it. Great to have you here tonight. 232 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: We have a big, big show coming up. We've got 233 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: the editor of the Foreign Desks joining us to talk 234 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: all about the big Summit as well as what the 235 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: heck is going on now with Israel and Hamas. I'm 236 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: on it. See you here next, Dear mister President. I 237 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: think I should what I said. Look, that's kind, it's great. 238 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: I said, we will change their behavior is the rest 239 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: of the world reacts to them and they to man, 240 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: it's just there standing in the world. I'm not confident 241 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: of anything. I'm just stating the fact the giving his 242 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: past behavior has not changed, and in that press conference, 243 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: after sitting down with you for several hours, he denied 244 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: any involvement in cyber attack. He zail played human rights 245 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: if he says, he refused to say a lesson of 246 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: all his name. So how does that help to a 247 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: constructive meaning as a president? Put I don't understand that 248 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: you're wrong business. I would trying to who are we 249 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: need come out quick? Somebody's uh having a little bit 250 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: of a tough day. First he had to deal with land, 251 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Mr Putin. Now he has to deal with the American media. 252 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you you notice thought was a very interesting reaction. 253 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: He was getting a little testy. He was getting a 254 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: little bit annoyed. I get it. The end of the 255 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: long day, right, and the reporter ask you some really 256 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: obvious question like how the heck can you really be 257 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: confident that flymer Putin is going to fall through on 258 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: his end of the bargain. And you don't like the question, 259 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: and you get a little bit annoyed. That's what we 260 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: saw a flash of anger in Joe Biden. And can 261 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: you just imagine can you imagine had the tables been turned? 262 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: And that was Donald Trump. I have a feeling just 263 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: a little hunch that people aren't going to get that 264 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: upset about this one. But you know, Joe Biden has 265 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: a history of doing this. You can go back all 266 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: the way in the nineteen eighties when he was running 267 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: for president in New Hampshire and he took on a 268 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: voter there accused him of not being as smart as 269 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: he was. Look, Joe Biden, you know he has his 270 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: good days and this bad ones. Clearly today, at least 271 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: by the end of it, things weren't going so well. 272 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Joining me right now for more reaction to the putin 273 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: Biden meeting as well as a sense of what's going 274 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: on right now in Israel, we have none than Lisa 275 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: Dafari Daftari, she is the editor in chief of the 276 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: four were in desk. Lisa, welcome, great to see you, 277 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: your reaction and not just to how he acted with 278 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: the media, but overall to what we saw today. Yeah, 279 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: that was really interesting from the clip that you guys 280 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: just played is that this is a press pool trained 281 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: under the Trump presidency and now it's coming back to 282 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: the Biden presidency. Because they are not going to take 283 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: the talking points, the flash card points at face value. 284 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: They are talking back to the president. They're pushing, they're pressing, 285 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: they want real answers. You know, we saw a president 286 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: who was extremely diplomatic, right. He came there and he said, 287 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: rest assured. We spoke about all the important topics. I 288 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: served up all the proverbial slaps on the risk. I 289 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: told him about the cyber attacks. I told them there 290 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: will be consequences. I laid down the law. And he 291 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: understands that his place will not be good in the 292 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: world if he does not listen to the United States, 293 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: which we all know is not true of Vladimir Putin. 294 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: We all know this. This is the typical reset that 295 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: every president tries with Vladimir Putin. And of course President 296 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: Biden being a president who has many, many years of 297 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: experience in the realm of foreign policy, being quite diplomatic. 298 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: I think this presidency is a little different because the 299 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: experience that President Biden has is at a time where 300 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: these talking points would go very well and be wonderful. 301 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: You know, I went to a meeting with another world 302 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: leader and we walked away with great deliverables and did 303 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: great outcomes, and we're on the same page. But in 304 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: today's world, this is this is very different. You know, 305 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: that people want to know what actually happened, what's the 306 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: bottom line, and tell us the truth. Well, look, I 307 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: think the reality is for four years, Lisa reporters sometimes 308 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,239 Speaker 1: heard a little too much right from Donald Trump. He 309 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: was very forthcoming with the truth, to the point where 310 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: he even said, I think that this virus was leaked 311 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: from the lab and Wuhan, and he wasn't supposed to 312 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: devolve that right because that was a classified He was very, 313 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: very forthcoming. So it's got to seem almost boring in 314 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: a sense when you get the part of bock. Let 315 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: me let me turn to the cyber attacks, because I 316 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: think that's a pretty big deal. And when I look 317 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: at Russia, I agree with one of the things that 318 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: Biden said today where he was like, you know, hey, 319 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: you want Russia's economy. Russia's economy is this little puny thing. 320 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: It is puny. I mean, it's roughly one point eight 321 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: trillion dollars versus our twenty two trillion dollars. Behemen. So 322 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: in the scheme of things, right, at least from an 323 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: economic standpoint, Russia really isn't that important. But Russia can 324 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: certainly make our lives difficult. And I think that we've 325 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: seen that by way of the cyber attacks. With that 326 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: in mind, Lisa, how do we start to quell that? 327 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: How do we suppress those attacks? Is it a matter 328 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: of offense for us defense for us? Do we just 329 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: need to be that much martyr knowing that they're trying 330 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: to attack us left, right and center on the cyber front. Yeah, 331 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: the Russians delivered a very strong message here at home 332 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: that we have soft targets. Look, these wars between countries, conflicts, 333 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: escalations between nations are no longer on the battlefield. They're 334 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: coming in two forms, and we're involved in both of 335 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: those forms with the Russians. That's verbally in which you 336 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: see Biden and put In exchanging these attacks. Well, they 337 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: came to the table and it was, you know, a 338 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: little bit of an about face with the verbal attacks, 339 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: but more importantly the cyber attacks. And we cannot dismiss 340 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: this as just a pitchbosh little threat because you're looking 341 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: at countries like China, like the Iranian regime, like Russia, 342 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: like North Korea investing so much more money into their 343 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: cyber military than they are into their actual military. So 344 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: this sends us a message here we have soft targets. 345 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: They know that they can hit us in any one 346 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: of these important infrastructures, whether it's Wall Street, whether it's 347 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: our hospitals, whether it's our you know, security grid, whether 348 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: it's you know, important industries like the meat company JBS 349 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: that we saw last week, or the pipeline that we 350 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: saw a couple of weeks earlier. These are important obviously 351 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: infrastructures and their soft targets. So we have to firm 352 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: up these targets. And that's the message here. Look, we're 353 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: not going to go out and start an anonymous or 354 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: a Russian ransomwhere type of offense. What we can do 355 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: is listen to the message that's being delivered here is 356 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: that that's where they're going to focus their energies. They 357 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: don't need a huge army to do that, they don't 358 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: need a weapons arsenal to do that. They just need 359 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: the will and that we just have to give them 360 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: the vulnerability, which we are doing so right now. So 361 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: it's it's allowed and clear message for sure. For sure. 362 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: Let me turn to what's going on in the Middle 363 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: East right now, because I kind of thought we had 364 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: we had reached a point where things had sort of 365 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: settled down. And now last night we see that, you know, 366 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: there's rockets flying again and attacks happening. What's going on? 367 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: You know this, We knew that this was going to happen. 368 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: It's happened in the past where where Hamas or whoever's 369 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: leading the Palestinians in the position of leadership, enters into 370 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: a ceasefire with Israel, but obviously break that ceasefire. We 371 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: saw the ceasefire actually broke in the days after the 372 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: ceasefire was reached with attacks on the border. There was 373 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: two stabbing attacks that work. But this is look another 374 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: day in the life of people living in Israel. The 375 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: idea of knows this. They have to go back to 376 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: protecting their borders, protecting their people inside the country and outside. 377 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: So this is nothing new for them. But in this 378 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: case we saw that these are fire balloons. These are 379 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: not birthday balloons. This is not something to laugh at. 380 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: These are actual weapons. These are actual incendiary fires bombs 381 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: that are attached to balloons and then deliver tossed into 382 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: Israeli territory, in this case in the south close to Gaza. 383 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: It continued, it continued, it continued, Trish, she didn't hear 384 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: about it. Media, and now you do why because Israel 385 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: has decided to retaliate. So the headlines from the New 386 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: York Times and the Washington Post and elsewhere read that 387 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: Israel is once again bombarding Gaza under a new leadership. 388 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: So they blame it on the fact that Israel has 389 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: a new prime minister this week, and that's why, because 390 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: he is so super aggressive that he decides to out 391 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: of the blue attack Gaza. But they don't tell you 392 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: what led up to this. It's really amazing and it's 393 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: pretty profound and very disturbing when you go and you 394 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: do read those headlines because they're so biased in the 395 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: way that they're presented. Nobody talks about what Hamas actually start, 396 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, did to start it. It's always what Israel 397 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: is doing. Do you think Hamas did this in part 398 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: because there was that change in leadership and they wanted 399 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: to kind of send some sort of signal in their 400 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: own way shape or sure? Yeah, you know. Hamas takes 401 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: advantage of the mainstream media, They take advantage of the 402 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: propaganda campaign that they have set out and have been 403 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: successful in launching, and they said, look, let's just test 404 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: what's going on right here. They'll react in the world 405 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: will understand that this is because of the new Prime minister. 406 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: But the other point to make here is that Hamas 407 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: has nothing to lose. So timing or logistics or strategy, 408 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: you can put that off to the side and say, 409 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: this is a terror organization that's launching weapons and all 410 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: sorts of rockets into Israel without any fear of consequence 411 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: because they have the world opinion on their side. And again, look, 412 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: the media wanted to present Israel as the aggressor, so 413 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: they waited until Israel became aggressive and they began retaliating 414 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: and that's where you start seeing the headlines and you know, 415 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: they have they have won the pr campaign. That's what 416 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: they sought out to do. They have. You know, they're 417 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: they're a terror organization that's getting the pity of the 418 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: world behind them, and you know, you go on Twitter, 419 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think about the squad and 420 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: how how much on the side of Hamas and the 421 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: Palace Indians they have been. And so you know, increasingly 422 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: I look at the Democrat Party and it feels, dare 423 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: I say, pretty anti Semitic. I mean, some of the 424 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: language that's effectively sanctioned by the likes of Rashida talib 425 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: or ilhan Omar is quite troubling, right when she basically 426 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: juxtaposes you know, hamas in the United States, a terror 427 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: organization in the United States, or Israel, our democratic ally 428 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: in the region. It is quite disturbing. It's disturbing that 429 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: these women have um, you know, their representatives and they 430 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: have elected positions, and that they are able to use 431 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: those platforms to spew hate without any retribution. You saw 432 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, you know, kind of trying to stand up 433 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: to her, but then back down again and said, you 434 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: know what, her explanation is good enough. It's not good 435 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: enough when she's going to go back to, you know, 436 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: spewing more hatred. This was not just the one off. 437 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: This is something that she's been doing. This is ilhan 438 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: Omar all the time while in office, using her Twitter 439 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: platform and other um, you know, other opportunities to just 440 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: slay in the United States, slam Israel and you know, 441 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: use this position for her hatred. Uh. The other friend 442 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: that these terror organizations have, you know, is the is 443 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: big tech. You know, yesterday there was an attack here 444 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles where an obviously religious Jewish boy was 445 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: just punched in the face by a random man walking by, 446 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: and this was documented on cell phones and put on 447 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: social media, and people put this on Instagram and it 448 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: was flagged and taken down. It was taken down because 449 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: it's showing an anti Semitic attack. How can we get 450 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: the word out about this type of hatred? How can 451 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: we correct the narrative about what's going on in Israel 452 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: or on the streets of New York or Los Angeles 453 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: when big tech is standing in the way and taking 454 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: the side. And that's the whole other canon worms and 455 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: a whole other story. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Thank 456 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: you so much.

You heard me 501 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: talking earlier earlier about the border crisis that we're now facing, 502 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: how it really is a crisis, despite the fact that 503 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: everyone in the White House is refusing to call it 504 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: such a thing. The border encounters have increased six hundred 505 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: and seventy plus percent since last year. We're now looking 506 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: at an all time high upwards of one hundred and 507 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: eighty thousand people that have been apprehended by HP and 508 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: now Donald Trump is heading straight to the border at 509 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: the invitation of none other than the Texas governor. The 510 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 1: Texas governor who's saying to wait a second, if the 511 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: federal government is not going to help here, then guess 512 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: what we as Texans. We will do our part. We 513 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: will finance a law and ensure the safety of our people. 514 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Joining me right now, we have Hal Lampert. He's a 515 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: Texas Republican strategist. I want to welcome you to the program. 516 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 1: How good to see you. Good to see you. So 517 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: what's this about? I mean, is it all politics or 518 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: is there some real meat behind this idea as well 519 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: in terms of securing Texas and the people. Well, I 520 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: hope it's not all politics. I'm glad that Governor Abbott 521 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: has stepped forward to do this. I'm glad President Trump 522 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: has headed to the border as well. It's got to 523 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: be highlighted. And I think what you know, most of 524 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: Americans now realize there's a problem, but I don't think 525 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: they realize the depths of it. Because if we want 526 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: to get real specific on kind of you know, what's happening. 527 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: When you have tens of thousands of children that are unaccompanied, 528 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: what do you do with them. You know what, they 529 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: don't have any parents here, they don't have family here. 530 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: They're sitting in at their housed in a center, and 531 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: there's nowhere to put with them. What does our government 532 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: do with them? You can't even can't you can't send 533 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: them back by themselves. I mean, it's a real problem. 534 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: And then you end up with Also, we could have 535 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: a million people coming this year that are indebted to 536 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: the cartels. So when you have people indebted to the cartels, 537 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: what happens down the road? They come in, they don't 538 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: have skills, they don't speak the language, they're not able 539 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: to function in the twenty fourth century America. How do 540 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: they pay the cartels back? I think we're going to 541 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: have serious crime problems in the future because they're having 542 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: to pay the cartels back money are They're going to 543 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: have family members back home killed. So this is a 544 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: real catastrophe and we're just seeing the very beginning of it. 545 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the very beginning of this problem. 546 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: The longer term effects are going to be massive. So, 547 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that came up when 548 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: Trump was highly criticized for some of his policy, which 549 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: that there was this separation of families at the border. 550 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: I remember saying very carefully at the time, you have 551 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: to be very careful with this so that it's not misinterpreted. 552 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm going back to sort of my 553 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: foundation and economics and the law of unintended consequences. My concern, 554 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: how at the time, was if we were to say, hey, 555 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: come on, come on, we're not going to separate families 556 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: as they have now done, then you risked families sending 557 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: their children en route to the US of A with 558 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, in many cases people that they may not 559 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: know that well, people that have been hired to maybe 560 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: pose a family who knows. But it basically incentivized the 561 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: wrong behavior. Right, If you don't want people to come here, 562 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: then shouldn't you be telegraphing a little bit of a 563 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: harder stance. As tough as that sounds, I mean, you 564 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: want to be a realist here, and you don't want 565 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: to encourage people to do things that, by the way, 566 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: might put themselves or their children in harm's way in 567 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: the process. True, sure, exactly right. I think you know 568 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: when you put that out like that, it incentivizes the 569 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: wrong behavior. And you know there are reports that up 570 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: to eighty percent of the women and girls are sexually 571 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: assaulted on the way here. I mean, what a horrific 572 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: experience for someone to have to endure on their way here. 573 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: Then they come to the United States, you have to 574 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: have serious emotional problems after that, so that then they're 575 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: here with that. And as you said, you know, we 576 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: don't know if people are actually related. A man and 577 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: a thirteen year old girl come across the border. He 578 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: says he's her father, she says he's her father. We 579 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: have no way to know that. We can't just let 580 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: them continue on through the United States. We don't know 581 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: if the girls being trafficked, so you have to separate 582 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: them and figure out who they are. You can't have 583 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: the thirteen year old girl, and with adults, you can't 584 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: have the adult and with the children, so of course 585 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: they have any separated thing. We're not going to separate 586 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: right to say, we're not going to look. I mean, 587 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: the left, You've got this course of people saying this 588 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: is so inhumane, you know, we should we should take everyone. 589 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: And the reality is, unless you're gonna like swoop in 590 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: and take over all of Latin America, I just don't 591 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: think it's ever gonna fly, So you're going to constantly 592 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: have this problem unless you say, okay, we're going to 593 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: be like every other country in the world. By the way, 594 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: every other country. Believe me, you're not. You're not getting 595 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: in to Switzerland. You're not getting in and you know, 596 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: establishing residency in Australia. I mean, they've got a whole 597 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: different system, but nobody's accusing them of being inhumane. So 598 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: I just look at it and say, you've got to 599 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: do what you need to do. Do you not how 600 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: to protect the people that you have in this country 601 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: at present? You mentioned Switzerland, you can't do that in Mexico. 602 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: We can't go to Mexico and just say we're going 603 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: to live there and establish residents. They don't. They don't 604 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: let you do that. So you know, for us to 605 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: say that Mexico can do that to us or any 606 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: of the Latin American countries, who, by the way, you 607 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: can't do that in their country either. So you're exactly right. 608 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: No other country operates this way, not the Latin American countries. 609 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, I think a lot of the 610 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: Latin American countries they don't really like it, but they're 611 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: forced to allow it to happen because so much money 612 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: is sent back to their countries. That's the only way 613 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: they're even staying in power is because money's flowing back 614 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: to Guatemala and Honduras Nicaragua, because that's the only way 615 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: those countries have any money is because people here are 616 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: working and sending it back. So it's not even necessarily 617 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: helping the US economy. So what should happen next? I mean, 618 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: do you anticipate that Kamala I was saying earlier, she's 619 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: kind of in a no win situation, right, And that 620 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: might be if I'm Joe Biden and I'm getting a 621 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: little annoyed at everybody calling her President Harris, including myself, 622 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: that might be by design. He gave her a pretty 623 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: tough assignment, and her party's not going to like her 624 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: if she does what is needed in this instance. So 625 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: where do you see is going? Is it just more 626 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: sort of swimming upstream and these numbers keep escalating and 627 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: she keeps doing nothing. I'm afraid that's what I think 628 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: is going to happen. They know what's going on at 629 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: the border, they don't have any desire to solve it. 630 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: I think They've calculated, Look, we can let in several 631 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: million people over the next year and try to change 632 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: the voting outcome in the future. I mean, I think 633 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: that's bringing more. I mean, if there's a million people 634 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: here and then you look up and they say, well, 635 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: you can bring your relatives, all of a sudden, it 636 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: can become ten million, very quickly. So I think that's 637 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: the calculus. They don't really care. They're they're going to say, look, 638 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: we'll support them with government money if they can't have 639 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: if they don't have jobs, and that's the calculus. I 640 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: don't see them changing. At the far left want to 641 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: change the demographics of the United States, and this is 642 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: the way they want to do it. Yes, all right, 643 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: we shall see. I have a feeling that a lot 644 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: of Americans will unite against this because it's just not 645 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: going to sit well. To get back to politics politically speaking, 646 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: How very good to have you here, How Lampard, Texan 647 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: Republican strategist. Good to see, Thank you so much, Thank you. Okay, 648 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: coming up, we're gonna talk about the FED. We're gonna 649 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: talk about inflation. Can you believe this? The FED is 650 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: actually finally worried about it. Pretty remarkable given what they've 651 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: said as late. I'm on it next. You know your 652 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad. My house 653 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: smells too. I'm I'm not indicting. You'll sure you keep 654 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: a clean home, but just time means you're going to 655 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: acquire smells. Whether those are cooking smells that get in 656 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: your paint, your carpet, maybe their animals smells. Maybe you're 657 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: a smoker or someone else was just living create smells. 658 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that my home had a smell to 659 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: it until I got my first Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the 660 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: greatest air purifier I've ever owned in my life. This thing. 661 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: I had it plugged in for two hours.

I'm not making that up. 664 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: This thing has absolutely changed me on top of what 665 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: it's done from my allergies.

Oh my goodness, 670 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: I mean, am I hearing things? Am I seeing things? 671 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: The Federal Reserve actually is starting to care about inflation finally. Wow, 672 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: unbelievable news out of the Federal Reserve today. Jerome Paul 673 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: actually said he's the head guy there at the Fed. 674 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 1: He actually said that they may decide to raise interest 675 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: rates or earlier than they thought, in twenty twenty three 676 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: instead of twenty twenty four. I mean, this is big news, right, 677 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: because the Federal Reserve all along has been so reticent, 678 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: they've been so nervous. Well now they're finally admitting in 679 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: the statement. They admitted that in fact, because there had 680 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: been quote progress on vaccinations and that had reduced the 681 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: spread of COVID nineteen in the US. Amid this progress 682 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: and strong policy report, indicators of economic activity and employment 683 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: have strengthened. Yeah you think. I mean, the economy has 684 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: been on fire as we've gotten back to work, as 685 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: people have resumed their lives. By the way, they're flush 686 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: with cash, right thanks to Uncle Joe and company and 687 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: all those stimulus checks multiple rounds, in part thanks to 688 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: Trump as well. So people have all this money, they've 689 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: got all this pent up demand, they're out there spending, 690 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: and so of course you're going to get inflation. I mean, 691 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: we've seen a ton of it. Six point six percent 692 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: pers the increase in producer prices in the last given month, 693 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: five percent in consumer prices I mean, and we don't 694 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: even want to talk energy prices which have been skyrocketing. 695 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: Joining me right now for an outlook on all this 696 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 1: and how you should think about it in these inflationary times. 697 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: We have Joel Griffith from the Heritage Foundation. Joel, very 698 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: good to see you. He was, well, thank you for 699 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: having me today. Did you think you were hearing things? 700 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: I was surprised to hear him acknowledge that what the 701 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: big rise in prices that we've seen might indeed not 702 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: be transitory and we're not imagining things. If you look 703 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: at what's happened over the past year, Yes, your grocery 704 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: bills have become substantially more expensive. And it's not just that. 705 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: If you're buying pants, if you're buying a dress, if 706 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: you're buying jewelry, those are all double digit price increases 707 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: over the past year. And if you're going to fill 708 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: up your car, well that costs you about fifty percent 709 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: more in just the past year. So this is a problem. 710 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: I am glad that people are actually trying to pay 711 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: attention to that, because if our government and if the 712 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve, if they do not change the course that 713 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: they are on, this could be something that we will 714 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: have to be dealing with fair into the future. Well, 715 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: and that's partly my concern. I mean, it's fine, they're 716 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: moving away from twenty twenty four. I was concerned that 717 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: they might be reluctant to even telegraph that, right, because 718 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: then you run the risk of the little temper tantrum, 719 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: or the taper tantrum as it's come to be known 720 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: on Wall Street. And we did, in fact see that. 721 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,439 Speaker 1: We'll see how it all shakes out over the next 722 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: couple of days, but there was an initial reaction with 723 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: investors getting pretty freaked out that the FED was actually 724 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: willing to admit these things. I mean, I look at 725 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: it the other way, right, because Joel, if they don't 726 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: recognize the threat of inflation, now, what happens in the future. 727 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: Larry Summers I think said it well, when you run 728 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: the risk of the FED overreacting to inflation and then 729 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: having a very negative, perhaps a stagflation like effect on 730 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: the economy because you don't get enough growth in the 731 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: overall bottom line. I mean, I can't even believe they're 732 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: going to wait to twenty twenty three. When I look 733 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: at prices, well, you usually people don't connect the dots, 734 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: and that's because we become so used to prices increasing 735 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: by one or two percent every year. But over the 736 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: past year, most Americans receive several thousand dollars and stimulus checks, 737 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: and we're very happy with that. But now people are 738 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: starting to realize and at two thousand dollars in your 739 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: checking account, you might like. But if you're a two 740 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: couple family making one hundred thousand dollars per year and 741 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: your price of living, your cost of living just increased 742 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: by five or six percent, well that's a six thousand 743 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: dollars increasing your costs of living and you only got 744 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars and stimulus checks. That's not such a 745 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: great deal. And that's the way we have to remember. 746 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: A long term prosperity does not come from running the 747 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: printing presence and spending more. In fact, that causes diminished growth. 748 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: Prosperity results and actually allowing people to invest and save 749 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: and make business opportunities, because that's something we can all 750 00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: share in. Yeah, no, I mean, it's kind of basic Unfortunately, 751 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: these are ideas that are being highly debated and contested. 752 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,760 Speaker 1: Right now, I'm going to get political, go from economic 753 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: to political, which is sort of you know, in so 754 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: many ways become the same thing, which is sad because 755 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: I'd like to just say, look, we all want growth, right, 756 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: we all want growth, and it's a pretty easy enough 757 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: way to get it. If you lower taxes, you less 758 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: in regulation, you get out of the way, and you 759 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: let Americans do what they know how to do best. 760 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: But in this environment, we've got a contingency of people 761 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: there on the left, which are becoming increasingly mainstream, that 762 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: believe socialism and high taxation and redistribution of wealth is 763 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: actually the way to ensure growth and success in this country. 764 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: If you couple higher taxes with inflation, what will that 765 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: do to the average American? Yeah? Well, you and I 766 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: and most Americans we want economic growth and opportunity. But 767 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: those on the left and the politicians that are pushing 768 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 1: forth that agenda looking for growth, what they're looking for 769 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: is power and a leveling of society. Margaret Thatcher said 770 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: it best years ago. She said they would rather the 771 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: poor be poorer so long as the rich were less rich. 772 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: The goal of the left is more centralized control, more power. 773 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: And when you have these politicians promising goodies to Americans, 774 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: promising more free services, you have to pay for it. 775 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: And you can't pay for it just by taxing the rich. 776 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: There's just not enough money that the rich have. You 777 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: have to do it through tax likes in the middle class, 778 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: you france, for instances, a fifty percent plus payroll tax, 779 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: or you do it through printing more money, which ultimately 780 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: will result in your paycheck being worth less. There is 781 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: no such thing as a free lunch, I know, you know, 782 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 1: but tell that to AOC and Joe Biden for that matter. 783 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: That said, we do have some adults in the room 784 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: right courtesy of Joe Mansion. He's new Rouno these days, 785 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like a lot of this policy, 786 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 1: which strikes me is pretty far fetched. I mean, when 787 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about elderly care and childcare as infrastructure, you've 788 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,399 Speaker 1: really kind of lost your vocabulary in some ways. But 789 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: I don't know as any of it's going to happen. 790 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: What's your take on it, because I do think that 791 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: ultimately even the Democrats know this will cost us and 792 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: we don't have it well. The thing is, over the 793 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,760 Speaker 1: past year, we've seen such an explosion in federal spending. 794 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: We're nearing ten trillion dollars and what in just over 795 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: a year. We've lost grasp with these numbers. Mean, and 796 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: we're starting to see it now with price hikes, but 797 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: we've lost grasp with that. And so because the proposals 798 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: on the left are so large, i mean, gobble up 799 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,919 Speaker 1: so much to the economy. Now, big spending proposals such 800 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: as the so called by part is in compromise an 801 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: infrastructure that appears reasonable, even though that is really blowing 802 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: our budget as well. And I think that's been one 803 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: of the intensiveness the left. They knew they weren't going 804 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: to get all they were asking for, and now the 805 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: compromise is still a bigger government than we have ever 806 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: seen in our lifetime. Yeah, Unfortunately, the smaller government notion 807 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 1: has become less popular these days by some in charge. 808 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: It's really good to see you, Joel. Thank you so 809 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: much for all your perspective, and I think we should 810 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: take heart that the FED is finally acknowledging that inflation 811 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: that we've all been feeling. Okay, coming up, everyone, we've 812 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: got a little bit of lighthearted video to show you 813 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: it turns out that John Stewart made some really good jokes. 814 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he actually did. I want to plan for 815 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: you after this welcome back. This clip is just awesome. 816 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: It's totally awesome, and I wanted you to see it 817 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: because you deserve a little laugh now. And then right, 818 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 1: let's roll the tape. I think we owe a great 819 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: debt of gratitude to science. Science has in many ways 820 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:21,879 Speaker 1: helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more 821 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: than likely caused by science. What do you mean? But 822 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: do you mean like this Perhaps there's a chance that 823 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 1: this was creating a lab. There's an investigation, a chance 824 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: were evidence. I'd love to hear there's a novel respiratory 825 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? Oh? You 826 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: know who? We could ask the Wuhan Novel Respiratory coronavirus lab. 827 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 1: The disease is the same name as the lab. That's 828 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: just that's just a little too weird, don't you think. 829 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: And then they asked some scientists, They're like, how did this? 830 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 1: So wait a minute, you work at the Wuan Respiratory 831 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: Coronavirus lab. How did this happen? And they're like a 832 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: pangolin kissed the turtle. We don't get anything. Wait what 833 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: about this? What about second? Wait a second? All right, John, 834 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, there's been an outbreak 835 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: of chocolate d e goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do 836 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 1: you think happened? Like? Oh, I don't know. Maybe a 837 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,959 Speaker 1: steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean, or it's 838 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: the chocolate factory. Maybe that's it. You know what, though, 839 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,879 Speaker 1: if that had been playing a year ago, it would 840 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: have been banned, right, they would have pulled the clip. 841 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: Nobody would have seen it because you weren't allowed to 842 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 1: talk about this. In fact, I do recall when Donald 843 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: Trump told the world that he had seen some evidence 844 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: that it had been created in a lab. Well, the 845 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: world went nuts, right, and before you knew it, um, 846 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: there were big magazine articles quoting Fauci saying, no, you know, 847 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,240 Speaker 1: it came from a wet market, it was naturally occurring. Anyway. 848 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 1: That is just priceless. And you know what I'm going 849 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: to say, Thank goodness, we can actually talk about it now. 850 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 1: What's what's more disturbing is that there's things that we 851 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: still can't talk about right that we're not allowed to 852 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: discuss because big tech, big media has decided it's off limits, 853 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: and that's pretty disturbing. Anyway, I still talk about it. 854 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: I know Jesse still talks about it, and I'm going 855 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,399 Speaker 1: to continue talking about it on my podcast. I hope 856 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,439 Speaker 1: you turn in to the Trish Regan Show where they're 857 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: every single day, and you can find more of me 858 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: on Trish intel dot com.
