1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: The FED spoke today and ouch, Harol Roth will talk

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: to us about that. Mike Slater is going to join

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: us to make us feel better. We have a great

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: tribute enlighten the mood all that's coming up. And I'm right.

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: You ever taught your kid to ride a bike, or

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: maybe you were taught to ride a bike. Let me

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: tell you something. As a parent, at some point you

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: got to teach you kid to ride a bike, right,

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: And then you start him out, of course, and the

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: training wheels, and eventually they want to drop the training wheels.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: So you dropped the training wheels. But now you got

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: a kid with no training wheels on. He's got a

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: helmet and all that. He's got no training wheels on.

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Though he's still gotta learn how to ride without the

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: training wheels. So what do you do with him? You

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: take him out and you put him in the middle

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: of the pavement concrete, they have fun, son, Just give

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: him a shove and just watches. He just tears all

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: the skin off his elbows and he's no, of course not.

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: You know what you do as a parent, old tidbit.

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: You take him to the grass, Take him to some

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: cushy grass hill or a grassy area, and you have

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: him practiced there so when they biff it, it ain't

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: that bad a controlled fall. He's gonna eat it. You

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: want him to eat it. He's got to learn to

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: balance himself, but you don't want to kill him. Right.

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: That's what you're seeing right now with Joe Biden in

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: this classified documents thing. FBI searched Joe Biden's home again today.

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: They searched Joe Biden's home virtually every day now. Why

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: because apparently Joe Biden takes classified documents home from the

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: office the way you would steal a paper clip, and

32
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: that he just tosses him any different places. Doesn't matter

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: that krein diversity higher thanied six times and one day,

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: that there's anything else. The search is clearly complete. They

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: completed the search. The search is complete. He is confident

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: in this process. You should assume that it's been completed. Yes,

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: after the search concluded last night. Search was completed last night.

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: So that's not really not really, this is Joe Biden

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: on the grass, that's what this is. They are demolishing

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's political career. They don't want him to run again.

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: All these are activists Democrats, every single FBI agent, DJ,

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: every single person discovering the documents, everyone involved in this

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: as an activist Democrat. There aren't Republicans taking down Joe Biden.

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: This is Democrats taken down Joe Biden. Slowly and gently. Joe,

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna fall, but hey, let's get you over to

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: the grass. We found some more. Hey, we found some more.

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: All their cooperating shouldn't be a problem. And eventually, you

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: know how this ends. Joe decides for the good of

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the party of the nation. He's not going to run

50
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Maybe this young reporter chick could

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: be happy about it, because a man alive Joe Biden

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: gets hands here around the chicks. What's behind your decision? Again?

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: The covin emergency edging for an engine. We just standing

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: to make the fifteen minne It seems to be common

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: all right, all right, but we're not here to talk

56
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: about Joe today. The FED spoke today, which generally, I

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: mean anymore, that's never a fun thing. That's that's always bad.

58
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: How bad, I don't know, that's as Carrol. Here's what

59
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: the FED chairman had to say today. The FROMC raised

60
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: our policy interest rate by twenty five basis points. We

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: continue to anticipate that ongoing increases will be appropriate. Um, okay, Carol,

62
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Obviously this is Carol Roth. She wrote the incredible book

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: The War on Small Business, Recovering Investment Banker, and everyone

64
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: knows Carol Roth. By Now, Carroll, break this down in

65
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: words that are I don't know English. We increase the

66
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: right twenty five basis points. What is this supposed to

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: mean to me as just a normal person. Well, I

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: think the first thing that everyone should take away is

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: the insanity that instead of the economy running in normal cycles,

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: we have these handful of people who are playing god

71
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: with the economy. They've been rigging Wall Street at the

72
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: expensive Main Street. It's completely insane. And now they're deciding you,

73
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: from meeting to meeting how much they are increasing their

74
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: target rate, which is a rate that banks they're supposed

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: to be lending to each other at, which really flows

76
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: through the rest of the economy. It helps to set

77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: rates on things like mortgages and car loans and things

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: like that. But the bigger issue isn't really the size

79
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: of the hike, or you know how many we have,

80
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: or when they pause and all these things that everybody's

81
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: obsessed over. The bigger issue is that they are trying

82
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: to destroy demand when we are facing supply constrained issues.

83
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: So they're putting out policy trying to make stop spending,

84
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: a business to stop spending, and government stop spending instead

85
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: of increasing the supply of energy or the supply of

86
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: homes or the supply of labors, which would be done

87
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: not through the FED but through other fiscal policy. And

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: the reality is that none of the people who they're

89
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: trying to destroy demands or really are playing along. We

90
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: know that the government isn't cutting spending and has no

91
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: plans to do so anytime soon. Businesses, you know, they

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: have been cutting some of their costs a little bit,

93
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: but they've been also trying to pass on price hikes

94
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: to consumers. Consumers have been hanging in and eating into

95
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: their personal wealth. So I think that's really the bigger

96
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: issue is that we have all of these people who

97
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: are coming in and instead instead of letting the free

98
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: markets do what they should do and sort things out,

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: are putting their thumb on the scale and it always

100
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: ends up working out better for the wealthy and well connected.

101
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: Go figure Jesse run a shock the wealthy and well

102
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: connected to the ones making the decisions. It always seems

103
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: to work out well for them. I'm stung, Carol. Let's

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: rewind back to some stuff, some basic stuff for you.

105
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: But I'm stupid, so I need you to explain it.

106
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Why are the banks loaning to each other? Doesn't this

107
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: bank have all the money and this bank has all

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: the money. They're loaning to each other. I don't understand. Yeah,

109
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: these are overnight rates. They and this is going to

110
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: get really wonky because there are all these rules in

111
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: place that they've put aside. But like, the theory is

112
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: that they have to keep a certain amount of reserves

113
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: with the Federal Reserve, and to do that, if they

114
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: don't have enough money one day, they're going to loan

115
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: to each other. So it's like a whole insane banking

116
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: system sort of scenario. But I guess the point is

117
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: that the banks could be setting those rates in a

118
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: free market scenario themselves. They don't really need the FED

119
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: to tell them what those rates are. And it's just

120
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: another one of these quote unquote tools, which means opportunities

121
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: for central planners to come in and to the scales

122
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 1: in favor of whatever it is that they're trying to accomplish,

123
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: which we as we just covered, is never in favor

124
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: of you, or me or the average American. All right, Carol,

125
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: the debt ceiling fight, what does this have anything to

126
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: do with the economy. Everyone knows they're going to raise

127
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a freaking debt ceiling. Again, They're not going to cut

128
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: any significant amount of spending. This is the least dramatic

129
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: drama I've ever seen in my entire life. But what

130
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: does any of this mean to me? Well, you know,

131
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: as Congress as a place where they perform political theater

132
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: and legally launder money, this whole scenario gives them an

133
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to get into both of those. As you noted,

134
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: in the short term, we are not going to default

135
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: on our debts. The reality is that there are plenty

136
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: of other ways they could lease out some of the

137
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: things that they own. They could sell off assets, other

138
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: things to pay for debt payments should they have to

139
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: do it. But the bigger issue, and this is why

140
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: this is so frustrating, is the debt ceilings a fight

141
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: over how we're financing previous overspending. It is not addressing

142
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: the overspending. So you're looking at you know, something going

143
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: on the freak show, you know, on the side of

144
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: the circus instead of what's happening at the main event.

145
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: And the reality is, if we don't stop spending, it's

146
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: just going to be an issue. And tying this back

147
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: to what we just talked about with the Fed, you know,

148
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: the Fed holding down interest rates, let the government rack

149
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: up debt and not have to pay you know, very

150
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: much on that debt at all. As these rates are

151
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: going up, it's becoming more and more expensive. It's time

152
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: for the government to go, Okay, it's our turn now.

153
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: And we understand that we got away with some stuff,

154
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: but we should be changing course here because the current

155
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: trajectory we're on is unsustainable. But of course there's nothing

156
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: that looks like fiscal responsibility. And unfortunately, you know, when

157
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: the GOP gets involved, there's only posturing, there's no actual

158
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: real action. So it's a really big issue and challenge,

159
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, it's only going

160
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: to impact our purchasing power and our ability to you

161
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: to have the same quality of life going forward that

162
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: we've had in the past. Carol, You're right, Republicans love

163
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: to spout this line about spending as soon as Democrats takeover,

164
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: but they do the same thing. Okay, so Democrats aren't

165
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: going to stop spending and Republicans aren't going to stop spending,

166
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: even though they'll lie about it. So we're driving off

167
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: the cliff. I mean, you say unsustainable, it ain't going

168
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: to be sustained. We're gonna go off the cliff. What

169
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: does that mean? That's a good question. There are lots

170
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: of people who are sort of pontificating about what, you know,

171
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: the next sort of financial world order or financial reset

172
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: looks like. Certainly it's not going to allow the US

173
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: to be the same power center that it is, whether

174
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: that means new blocks line, you know, or some other

175
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: country potentially emerges as a power the end of the day,

176
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: it just means that we're going to have less ability

177
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: to purchase things with our dollars, and we're going to

178
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: have a lower quality of life. We may have less

179
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: access to critical things that we need in our lives,

180
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: whether that be medicines or foods or whatever. I mean,

181
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: it really takes us out of that pole position of

182
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: helping to drive the world economy, and the benefit of

183
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 1: doing that is making our lives better. So it is

184
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: not a good development. And you know the problem with

185
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: the driving off the cliff, if you've watched any of

186
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: the Wiley Coyote cartoons in the past, is that you

187
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: just don't know where that is. So you just keep

188
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: going and go, I've I've got space, We've got space.

189
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: But once you're over that edge, you know, the coyote

190
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: drops down, and then that becomes the problem. And you know,

191
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: without somebody showing some level of restraint, because I do

192
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: think this is fixable, but without showing some level of

193
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: restraint if it continues, is on this trajectory. You know,

194
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about things like they're projecting over the next

195
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: several decades sixty trillion dollars just an interest expense on

196
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: the debt. That's three times the current GDP. You know.

197
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: The only way that happens is everything gets inflated so

198
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: much that your dollar becomes worthless. And as I've found

199
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: of saying, and may or may not be related to

200
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: things I'm writing about, you know, they're projecting it. You

201
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: will own nothing. Go ROF, appreciate you very much, Come

Speaker 1: just hurts. Oh man, all what are you gonna donna do?

204
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: There's not like we can control it. You can't control it.

205
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: I can't control it. Hey, in your testosterone levels up,

219
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Each morning, the President of the United States receives a

220
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country.

221
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered

222
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear

223
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast

224
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.

225
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen

226
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country,

227
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to

228
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: start your morning. The idea that we're going to send

229
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains

230
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: going in with American pilots and American crews. Just understand,

231
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: and don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say,

232
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: that's called World War three. Okay, let's get it straight here, guys.

233
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Today I'm announcing that the United States will be sending

234
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: thirty one Abram tanks to Ukraine. Okay, well that's awkward, now,

235
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: isn't it. Joining me now, help me make some sense

236
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: of this. Brian Dean right, whose President's Daily Brief podcast

237
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: is killing it? Who doesn't want all the news of

238
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: the day in less than twenty minutes, Very very proud

239
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: of you, one brother. Two. Okay, Brian, isn't world War three?

240
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: It obviously seems like an escalation. At the same time,

241
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like that, many tanks. But we are

242
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: sending tanks. What's going on? Yeah, So here's the bottom line.

243
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Last winter and spring, the United States, the CIA, and

244
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: the Pentagon in particular, assumed that basically any kind of

245
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: war material going to the Ukrainians could result in some

246
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: degree of massive response by the Russians. And so we

247
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: just sort of put our little toes in the water

248
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: with you know, very modest amounts of drones and some weaponry,

249
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: some flack jackets and helmets. But then even that very

250
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: modest amount of material, the Russians didn't respond, no real

251
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: sabotage operations, no bombing of any of you know, American

252
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: interests abroad. And so that showed the CIA and the

253
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: CIA or the Pentagon rather that look, actually, we can

254
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: do a little bit more. Let's keep pressing the red line.

255
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can find it. And so that's

256
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: what we have been doing now for about ten eleven months,

257
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: and that's why these tanks are yet the latest addition

258
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: to this excuatory calculus of Hey, Russia hasn't done anything

259
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: so far, so let's keep pushing the envelope. Now we've

260
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: got some tanks, maybe some planes, but boy, or boy,

261
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: isn't that risky. We're throwing the dice on this because

262
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: we don't know when that red line will be. And

263
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: the guy that we're trying to push, Vladimir Putin, well

264
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: he's got a nuclear arsenal that if we go too far,

265
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: we can have some very serious problems. So we're playing

266
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: a big, big game here. Joe Biden was right last

267
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: winter in spring, and he's just pressing his luck. Okay,

268
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: we'll deal with the potential problems in a second. Let's

269
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: deal with something you just said. He hasn't responded yet.

270
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: He hasn't responded yet. He hasn't responded yet because I've

271
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: been waiting for this too. Now, you're much more educated

272
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: on this stuff than I am. But I was expecting

273
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: cyber I was actually expecting more cyber attacks by now,

274
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: because I know the Ruskies do that pretty well. But

275
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: there has been something significant yet, as you just pointed out,

276
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? I don't know. You

277
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: can't crawl into Putin's brain, but I've been waiting for it.

278
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet. Why isn't at come? Well?

279
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: I think two things. One, there has been a little

280
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: bit we've seen like for instance, in Germany there were

281
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: some sabotage operations of the rail lines. They're probably Russian.

282
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: We've seen a little bit in the United States, but

283
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: you're right, not to the scale that most of us expected.

284
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: And I think there are probably two reasons for that. First,

285
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: I think that the NSA probably went in and damaged

286
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the Russian's abilities last January and February.

287
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: We do have some data to suggest open source, that

288
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: is to say, in the open press, that the NSA

289
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: actually did that. So that's how I think part of it.

290
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: The other is that I think Putin is keeping his

291
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: powder dry on this. I think that he's waiting for

292
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: the moment to unleash the big guns, and he doesn't

293
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: think that the risk of when he does that, you know,

294
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: he could face a degree of reaction and escalatory response

295
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: by the United States in the West. So he doesn't

296
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: want to dick us off too much either, So he

297
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: thinks that he can sort of wrap this war up

298
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: in Ukraine without exact any major cost to himself that

299
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: blowback for Russia. So that's why I suspect he's being

300
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: cautious himself. But I'll tell you these jets in these

301
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: tanks I think are starting to change the calculus for

302
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: that regime in Moscow. And I think we're about to

303
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: find redline and I don't think we're gonna like when

304
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: we see it. Okay, Brian people aren't on the ground,

305
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: they don't know what's what, and they don't understand, especially

306
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: because of all the military equipment, personnel that's been supplied

307
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: by US and others. Do you have any sense of

308
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: handicapping this whole thing? Who's winning, who's losing? It's Putin

309
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: just got to ride this out. He's gonna win in

310
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: any way. Or the Ukrainians got enough of our stuff,

311
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. What's happening? Yeah, bottom line is this

312
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: is a war of attrition. I think both sides have

313
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: enough friends in their corners. As a word, like if

314
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: this were a boxing match. I think right now both

315
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: sides are laying some pretty serious bloody blows on each other,

316
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: knocking each other to the ground, but they're both still fighting.

317
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: China is assisting and aiding the Russians, along with others

318
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: like Saudi Arabia. They're all providing the money that Russia

319
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: needs and in some cases the equipment to keep fighting.

320
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Like some computer chips we now know are coming from

321
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: China into Russia to help them with the missiles and

322
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: so forth that they need to keep throwing and launching

323
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: at Ukraine. And of course the Ukrainians, good lord, they've

324
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: got our tanks, They've got all kinds of equipment, and

325
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: they have for many, many months now, so they're still

326
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: fighting manpower. Ultimately, the Russians have more of it, but

327
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: he's that is to say, Putin's gonna have problems conscripting

328
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: all those folks until then. They've got this paramilitary group

329
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: called the Wagner Group. They're I think fifty two hundred

330
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: thousand former prisoners that they're collecting from around the world,

331
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: throwing those guys in Ukraine fighting on behalf of the Russians.

332
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: So so far, this thing's pretty equally nasty, and that's

333
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: I think ultimately why the Biden administration and others are saying,

334
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: we got to do something to change with this, because

335
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: this sucker is getting real expensive it and real dangerous.

336
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: We got to whip this war in the butt and

337
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: get it done with. That's why I think you're seeing

338
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: the tanks and model and possibly the plans. Okay, let's

339
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: pause on this for just a moment, because actually that

340
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: sounds really cool. Horrifying, but kind of cool. You're telling

341
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: me there's a fifty to one hundred thousand group of

342
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: convict mercenaries called the Wagner Group. What yeah, yeah, it's crazy.

343
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: So the Wagner Group, of course, is all around the world,

344
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: operating on behalf of the Russian government, and they're they're

345
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: defending different interests in different places in the world and

346
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: getting Moscow into bed with say African regimes, fighting in

347
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: places like Molly and Burkina Fassa. So this group, the

348
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: Wagner Group, is basically opening up prison cells on various

349
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: parts of the world, to include Russia, hiring these guys saying, look,

350
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: we're give you your freedom and some money, but you

351
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: got to go to Ukraine and fight. And yeah, there

352
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: are tens of thousands of these prisoners that the Russians

353
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: are now arming and saying, you're cannon fodder, but at

354
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: least you're not in prison, fight for us, and a

355
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: lot of guys are signing up for it. This is

356
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: this is absolutely fascinating. Okay, now let's move in. I'm

357
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: not even getting too close to all the things I

358
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: want this stuff is fascinating. Let's move to this red law.

359
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: You were talking about, what is something we can reasonably

360
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: expect assuming Putin is going to hit the red line?

361
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: Are we talking about a cyber attack like we mentioned earlier?

362
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Are we talking about New York City glowing in the dark?

363
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: God forbid? Are we thought? What are we thought? What's

364
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: something he would do and could do? Well? He does

365
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: have good cyber capabilities, and I think that you are

366
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: right to say he can shut down things like our

367
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: power plants, right, So that's obviously a big problem when

368
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: your hospitals don't have power, your grocery stores don't have power.

369
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: He has that ability. Now we have tried to harden

370
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: our systems, but that's definitely one thing he could do.

371
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 1: You probably have seen some recent attacks and that our

372
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: airports shutting down towers. He could do something like that

373
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: as well. The big one is around energy, specifically pipelines.

374
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: We've seen that in the past as well. So Putin

375
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: does have an ability to do some pretty nasty stuff.

376
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: If he finally gets to the point where he thinks

377
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: he's going to lose this war, he can throw a

378
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: lot at this, to include a demonstration of his nuclear power,

379
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, launching of an explosion, nuclear explosion over the

380
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: Black Sea or somewhere in the Baltic Sea to just

381
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: show the world like, look, if you're gonna push me

382
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: to the point where I lose, we all lose. This

383
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: ain't gonna just be me that goes down. Yeah, that's

384
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: what I've been worried about. All right. Finally, you're talking

385
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot about the new Cold War, the new Cold War?

386
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? What is this? Yeah, so

387
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: obviously the old ones Soviet universus the United States, this

388
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: one is China versus America. And just like we saw

389
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: back in the old days, China and the United States

390
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: are both trying to find friends around the world to

391
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: help them to their side. Well, the United States just

392
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: recently got the Japanese and the Netherlands to block the

393
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: export of some advanced computer chips to China. So that's

394
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: one demonstration of why it's great to have some friends

395
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: on your side to prevent those advanced computer chips from

396
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: helping the Chinese develop their military. Well, the Chinese is

397
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: developing their own set of friends and allies. For instance, recently,

398
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Bolivia just gave the Chinese government specifically a company that

399
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: is controlled by the government the ability to access all

400
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: their lithium minds. And that's a big deal because obviously

401
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: the world's embracing this what I call dirty green energy revolution. Yeah,

402
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: that's going to be a problem if China does, in

403
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: fact continue to control seventy to eighty plus percent of

404
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the world's mining and refining capabilities of things like lithium

405
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: and cobalt. Right, So it's kind of like OPAC and OPEC,

406
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: plus they control oil. China is getting in on this too,

407
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: and they're kind of becoming a cartel of one. So

408
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: this Cold War two is all about China versus America

409
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: and who has friends and what are those friends control

410
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: and the global economy. Brian Dean Wright, President's Daily Brief Podcast,

411
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, brother, you bet all we still got more.

412
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: You think we're gonna let all the COVID stuff go,

413
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: We're never gonna let that go. We'll do that here

414
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: in a second. Now, do keep in mind something that

415
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: he just said, power plants. I've been warning you about

416
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: this over and over again, about the Russians and their

417
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: ability to shut down pipelines and shut down power plants.

418
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: I am not a technical person, so The more I

419
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: talk to these people, the more horrified I get about

420
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: how vulnerable critical systems are. You know that if your

421
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: power plants go away, if they shut down your power,

422
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, your grocery store goes away. Right, that stuff

423
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: isn't all just stay there, It goes away. You show

424
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: up and the lights are gonna be off, the doors

425
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna be locked. Do you have emergency food for your people?

426
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: For the people in your home? Does everyone in your

427
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: home have three months worth of food? If you do good,

428
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: just be honest with yourself. If you don't, you need

429
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: to start working on it. You start building that stuff up.

430
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 1: If you don't know where to begin how to do that.

431
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: My Patriots Supply is partnered with the show. They have

432
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: emergency three month food kits ready to go, two thousand

433
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: calories a day. That's what you're gonna need. Look, that's

434
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: the easy route. It ships anonymous leaderships fast. They're two

435
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: hundred dollars off right now, go to my Patriot supply

436
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, my Patriot Supply dot com. We'll

437
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: be back. I have some flaws, do you know that.

438
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: I know you're shocked by that, but I've got some flaws.

439
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: And maybe what I'm about to tell you is a flaw,

440
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: all right, it's just doing me talking here. Maybe this

441
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 1: is something wrong with me. But I don't let things

442
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: go when I've been wronged by somebody, I mean, really

443
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: really done wrong. I don't mean the fast food clerk

444
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: forgot to put cheese on my burger. I mean somebody

445
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: does me wrong and then never owns up to it,

446
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: never apologizes. I don't just move on. And maybe that's

447
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: a flaw. Maybe it's a good thing, Maybe it's a

448
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: bad thing. Maybe it's both. I don't know, but I

449
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: don't move on, and sometimes I can get resentful of

450
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: people who do. And here's here's part of what I mean. COVID.

451
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: COVID was such an ugly memory, such a such a

452
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: dark thing for so many people, for so many different reasons,

453
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: that many people now they just want to move on.

454
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: They want to move on. They don't want to hear

455
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: about what Democrats did. They don't want to hear about

456
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: what Republicans did, what doctors did with the CDC did,

457
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: what Fauci did, They don't want to hear about fives

458
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: or don't. They just kind of want to be done

459
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: with it, right, that not reliving your abuse kind of

460
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: a situation. And so if that's where you're coming at

461
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: it from, I get it, But I am sorry. You

462
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: do understand if that's you, If that's you, you you just

463
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: want to move on. You want to forget about it.

464
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: You understand that the United States of America became a

465
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: tyranny like that overnight in response to a virus. The

466
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: United States of America became a place where politicians were

467
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: allowed to point at you and say, go lose your livelihood, Hey,

468
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: close your business. Nope, no paycheck for you. That's a tyranny.

469
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: You live in a tyranny. And just because some of

470
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: these things are easing off, these restrictions are going away,

471
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: that doesn't change the fact you just learned that you

472
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: have a bunch of tyrants in charge of you, and

473
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of apparatics living next to you, working with you,

474
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: maybe in your family, maybe your friends. And so I'm sorry.

475
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: I know it's twenty twenty three, and I get it.

476
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm not moving on and I'm not simply going to

477
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: let all the revisionist history happen either for instance or instance.

478
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: The Republican Party loves to act like they're the pro

479
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: freedom Party now pro freedom COVID lockdowns. What I saw

480
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: this yesterday and I'm sorry out of James Comer, I

481
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: saw this yesterday and it didn't inspire me. Kind of

482
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: made me scoff. This week, the Oversight Committee will kick

483
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: off a very busy oversight agenda with our first hearing

484
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: investigating the massive waste of taxpayer dollars in pandemic spending.

485
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: For the past two years, Democrats did not conduct a

486
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: single hearing of Oversight of what may turn out to

487
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 1: be the greatest theft of American taxpayer dollars in history.

488
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: After rushing through inflation inducing government spending under the guise

489
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: of pandemic relief, hundreds of billions of dollars have been

490
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: stolen from American taxpayers, lining the pockets of criminals and

491
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: foreign adversaries. But under Republican leadership, the Oversight Committees, returning

492
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: to its primary duty to root out waste, fraud, abuse,

493
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: and mismanagement in the federal government. Okay, billions and COVID

494
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: relief turned out to be wasted, stolen, and he blamed

495
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: that all on Democrats. You know that is interesting because

496
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: I distinctly remember it almost seems like it was yesterday.

497
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, maybe I've been hit in the head.

498
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: It seems like it was Republicans working hand in hand

499
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: with Democrats as soon as COVID got here to pass

500
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: massive bill after massive bill after massive bill. And now

501
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: you expect me to sit here and take you at

502
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: your word that you're going to dig into the waist.

503
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: You gotta figure out the fraud. You know where the

504
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: fraud is. Look in the mirror. Those are the frauds,

505
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: the Republicans who spent a ton of money, a ton

506
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: of money. And now I want to look at Democrats

507
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: and only blame them. You want to root out the corruption, Well,

508
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: why don't you start by eliminating government agencies. I mean,

509
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: after all, they're all rich anyway. Right now, According to

510
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: the federalists, thousands of federal employees double dipped on the

511
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: COVID funds, meaning they're sitting at home still collecting a

512
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: paycheck when got unemployment as well. What about you go

513
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: route my money out? Thank you. Operation warp Speed again

514
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: not only passed by Democrats, passed by Republicans, signed by

515
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: a Republican president, handing out in human amounts of money

516
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: to gigantic pharmaceutical companies. While also absolving them of liability.

517
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to know what Visor's numbers are? How

518
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: is your year? You know what visors year was like?

519
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: One hundred point three billion dollars last year alone, one

520
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: hundred point three billion dollars. And this is the same

521
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: Fvisor that James O'Keefe from Project Veritas have made extra

522
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: famous recently with that undercover video with the guy who

523
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: supposedly works at FISER claiming they're actually engineering the virus.

524
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: And then we have the FISER CEO, what do you

525
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: think about this? Answer? The indicators right now, but are

526
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: telling us that there is a protection against transmission of

527
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: the disease. There is no variant that we have identified

528
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: that escapes the protection of our vaccicainst COVID. To come

529
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: now with a treatment of ninety percent effectiveness, you know,

530
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: personally makes me a lot very proud about. And we

531
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: know that the three the two doses of the vaccine

532
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: offer very limited protection in family. The three doses with

533
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: a booster, they offer reasonable protection. Again, it is necessary

534
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: a foot right now. The protection what you're getting from

535
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: the third it is good enough, actually quite good for

536
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: hospitalizations and deaths. It's not that good against affections, but

537
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: doesn't last. That guy made a fortune last year, made

538
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: of fortune with your money. Keep in mind the government

539
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: buying all these your money. That guy made a fortune,

540
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: How is your year? And again back the whole Republicans

541
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: trying to wash their hands of a thing, all the

542
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: de Santists trump back and forth. Already beginning Florida was

543
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: actually close to record book, remember close to beaches and

544
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: everything else. Years. You know, they're trying to rewrite history.

545
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: This I roll out of bed. I have people attacking

546
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: me from all angles. It's been happening for many, many years.

547
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: And if you look at the good thing about it, though,

548
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: is like if you take a crisis situation like COVID,

549
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, the good thing about it is when you're

550
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: an elected executive, you have to make all kinds of decisions.

551
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: You've got to steer that ship. And the good thing

552
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: is is that the people are able to render a

553
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: judgment on that, whether they reelect you or not. And

554
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm happy to say you know, in my case, not

555
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: only did we win reelection, we won with the highest

556
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: percentage of the vote that any Republican governor candidate has

557
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: in the history of the state of Florida. Okay, I'm

558
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: sure you're on one of those guys teams. What you

559
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: probably are, you're a team Trump guy, a team to

560
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Santa's guys. It's fine, but you both were lockdown guys.

561
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: And I know. Look, I know, because you're on somebody's team.

562
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: That's how people normally are. I just that's not who

563
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: I am. It's fine. I know that may make you mad. Well,

564
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't care if it makes you mad. You were

565
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: both lockdown guys, and I remember you. I will say this.

566
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: To Heavy D's credit, at least he owned it, apologize

567
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: for it, and said it would never happen again. But

568
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: you were both locked down guys. So you throw all

569
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: the mud you wanted each other. Now, I remember what

570
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: you became when a virus got here. I remember I

571
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: was there. And those of you who've been watching I'm

572
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: right for a couple of years, remember what I said

573
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: on day one when lockdowns were even suggested. Freaking tyranny, disastrous.

574
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, we're moving on, you know what, Let's move on.

575
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: You know what I need. You know what I need

576
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: in my life. I need Mike Slater and give me

577
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: some perspective. That's what I need. Right now, anyone else

578
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: I need. I need some precious metals why because I

579
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: liked them? Because they make me feel secure financially. Look

580
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: every single time, but a bank account makes makes me

581
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: feel insecure financially. Now it does with what they're doing

582
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: with the dollar every day. You saw what the fence

583
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: did today. Ray strates up again. Who's been telling you

584
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: to get some precious metals in your possession? Get some

585
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: precious metals in your portfolio? You know that could become

586
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: part of your four one K your IRA, right, so

587
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to sit and stress about every massive

588
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: fluctuation in the market. Oxford Gold as their portfolio protection plan.

589
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: They make it super easy. It's laid back, it's not complicated.

590
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: They'll make it easy. All right. Call eight three three

Speaker 1: you to call Protect Yourself. Protect Yourself eight three Gold.

593
00:33:48,800 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: We'll be back. But if you're new to the podcast,

594
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: we take a story the day and that that's causing anxiety.

595
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: We break it down, We lament the brokenness of what's

596
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: going on, and then we give some historical perspective and

597
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: biblical peace that hopefully makes that anxiety go away and

598
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: then something that is in your control. A lot of

599
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: the anxiety comes from first, oh, this has never happened before. Nope,

600
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: nothing new under the sun. And also it's totally out

601
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: of my control, and a lot of it is. But

602
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: there are things that are in your control. So when

603
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: you can focus on those and the anxiety goes away.

604
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: So that's why we're joining me now. My friend Mike's

Speaker 1: direct TV. Run direct TV now I feel I mean

610
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: I already felt like a huge, important celebrity, but now

611
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: I've taken the just autographing things for people randomly. It's

612
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: just I'm a different person now, totally. What an honor

613
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: for direct TV and for all the people I'm imagine

614
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: now get to see the most handsome man in radio.

615
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: How wonderful for them, Jesse, I got a bone. Yeah,

616
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. Jact. To me, they've they've never been better. Um,

617
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: I got a bone to pick with you, Jesse. This

618
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: is about your book. Every time I'm on your show,

619
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: and it's an honor you always ask me. The last

620
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: question is okay, Slater, what do we do? That's always

621
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: your last question, and I always give a terrible answer,

622
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: and I go the whole rest of the day thinking

623
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: about what I should have said, and all of a

624
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: sudden and honestly, as I'm giving a terrible answer, in

625
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: my head, I'm thinking, I don't know, Jesse. That's why

626
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: I listen to you. You're the what do we do? Guy?

627
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: So you're asking me what do we do? And I'm like,

628
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Like like, I'm like, we all bring

629
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: different skill sets to the table, and mine is not

630
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: what do we do? But I'm stoked about your book

631
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: because the book is what do we do? What to do?

632
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: I'll stop asking you what to do, but let me

633
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: give you some advice. Mike. This has always carried me

634
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: so well. Whenever I do an interview, as soon as

635
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: it's done, I never think about it again. I automatically

636
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: assumed that I was incredible and witty and that it

637
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: was the best thing they've ever heard, and I never

638
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: give it a second thought. When you only focus on yourself,

639
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: Mike and never care about others, life gets so much easier.

640
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: Why can't you do that? Yeah? I don't sleep that night.

641
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: All I do is I think about what I should

642
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: have said, and I blew the show, and I blew

643
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and Jesse will never have me on AGAD

644
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: And now we're gonna get kicked off direct TV because

645
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: I gave such a terrible answer. So we're different. That's

646
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: why I need more of you. I need to be

647
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: more like you. I can't wait for the book Tyree Nichols.

648
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: By the way, on that police video, we're looking at

649
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: evil and you have to stop it at its root.

650
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: What is the root of evil in this case? In

651
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: this case, it's systemic racism. What happens to Tyree Nichols

652
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: was as American as apple pie. Do we need to

653
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything.

654
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that, So don't write us and tell

655
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: me when you know what a racist I am. Yeah, Mike,

656
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: give us some perspective, because it was the whole thing

657
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: was ugly. The beating was ugly. It was just like,

658
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: the whole thing was awful, and how they exploited it

659
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: was awful, and everyone feels yucky about it. Make us

660
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: feel better. M Yeah, yeah, as we should. And that's

661
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: part of the podcast too. As we lament, we lament

662
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: the brokeness. I think that's important to go to do that,

663
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: lean into that so you can bounce out of First

664
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: of all, I saw your special on America's Worst Cities,

665
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: Memphis was overlooked. Memphis is a horrible, horrible place. So

666
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: I love the making this a white supremacy thing, because

667
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: that's just all they got. They claim from the left

668
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: is that anti blackness is so pervasive, so systemic, that

669
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: even black people hate black people. How about that, right,

670
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: You white people are so racist, You've made black people racist,

671
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: which is pretty astounding. I don't know why anyone would

672
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: be a police officer today. We talked a little bit

673
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: about this on the podcast. Because if you hesitate, you

674
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: can die because they say he grabbed for my gun.

675
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: You hear the officers in the video say he grabbed

676
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: for my gun. If you hesitate, you could die. And

677
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: then if you act too quickly and too harshly, then

678
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: you go to jail for the rest of your life.

679
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: That's not worth it for sixty k year officers need

680
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: to have supreme self control. So the two things we

681
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: talked about because almost in every situation someone both people

682
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: are to blame in some way, so we talk about

683
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: Romans thirteen obeying authority and police are ministers of God.

684
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: We go through Romans thirteen, which is not tricky. It's

685
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: very clear, but it's hard to accept. So we kind

686
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: of break that down, which is difficult to do. But

687
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: then we all still about self control. One of the

688
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: fruits of the spirit is self control. And if these

689
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: men and women police officers are going to be ministers

690
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: of God as underneath the authority that God is instilled

691
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: as clearly outlined in Roman thirteen, you have to have

692
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: all the fruits of the spirit, and one of them

693
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: is self control, and it seems like these men didn't

694
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: have it. I was talking to a Navy seal friend

695
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: and he said, all it would have taken is one

696
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: of these guys to say stop, and they could have

697
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: put some patients some peace in this moment, and no

698
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: one did. But then I'm also think why I can't

699
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: wait for these police officers to try and defend themselves,

700
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: because what did they know that we don't because they

701
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: were all acting like this, So I don't know. I

702
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: look forward to what's moving, what's going to happen next

703
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: in there? In the trial, Mike, you have a special

704
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: out on the first or it's coming. I believe about

705
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: identity politics, which I absolutely did test. But I feel

706
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: like I'm actually a minority in that might because I

707
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: feel like if everyone detested it, there'd be a lot

708
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: less of it. But it's all you get anymore. What

709
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: color you are, what do you look like, what do

710
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: you do? It's it's it's endless. Now. I wonder, Yeah,

711
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: I want about that. I think I hope more people

712
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: hate it. They just don't have the courage to say,

713
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: which is why it's important you talk about how much

714
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: it's all. I think it could be the death of

715
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: this country. It's got to stop. There's no such thing

716
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: as race, all right. We talked about that on the

717
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: podcast that We also talk about that on the special.

718
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: There's no such thing a race. It doesn't exist. It's

719
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: all about culture, cultures. All that matters. Race is bad science,

720
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: the very short of it. Samuel Morton, he was a scientist,

721
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: like eighteen thirties. He took the skulls of different people

722
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: from around the world and he filled them with mustard

723
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: seed and then he determined which grouping of people had

724
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: the biggest heads, therefore they had the biggest brains, therefore

725
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: they were the smartest, therefore most superior. And the skulls

726
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: from the people from the Caucasus mountain region had the

727
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: biggest skulls, therefore brains therefore smartest. And that's why white

728
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: people are called Caucasian. Okay, that is horrifically comically bad

729
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: science from the eighth early eighteen nineties, and we still live,

730
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: we still talk in those language, in the words that

731
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: were used by the science two hundred years ago. We

732
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: have to knock it off, we have to reject all

733
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: of it. On the special we also talk about Darwin.

734
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: If you believe in race and racism, it stems from

735
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: Charles Darwin that said idea that humans come from different

736
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: primates that were around the world, and some humans have

737
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: advanced more than other primates. And so white people have

738
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: advanced a lot over the millions of years from primates,

739
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: but black people they're still kind of like monkeys because

740
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: they didn't advance a lot. So we're better than they're

741
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: they're subhuman. This is all Darwinism, it's all evolution nonsense.

742
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: Compared to the biblical point of view, which is we

743
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: all come from one man, and we're all created in

744
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: God's image by God in God's image. Like, totally different

745
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: worldviews leave you to totally different places. So we talk

746
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: about that, and then the sixteen nineteen project. The left

747
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: just wants to teach kids that you're a victim, and

748
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: they don't want to teach true Black history in this

749
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: Black History Month, because if you taught true Black history,

750
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: you would teach incredible stories of people overcoming obstacles. But

751
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: they don't want to do that because they can't teach

752
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: the story of someone overcoming an obstacle two hundred years

753
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: ago and then say, oh, but you're a pressed and

754
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: can't overcome it. So all they do is tell stories

755
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: of oppression of victimhood to try to continue this narrative

756
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: in the next generation. And it's horrific, it's evil, it's awful.

757
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 1: So in especially we share some real American history. Morgan

758
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: Freeman said, black history is American history. That's true. So

759
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: we share real American history. Mike's later come back soon,

760
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,400
