1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: We have incredible guests. We have a very corrupt system 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: that is not so incredible. We have new COVID data 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: and wow, we need a reckoning. All that and more 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: coming up on our right. Yesterday was Memorial Day and 5 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: we did a Memorial Day special for you here on 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: the first I hope you enjoyed it. If not, you 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: can go back and watch. But it was a Memorial Day. 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: And what's Memorial Day about? Honoring the fallen? Nothing else. 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: It's not about politics left right. It's not about veterans, 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: it's not about the border. It's not about a border, 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: it's not about anything, certainly not about guns. It's about 12 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: honoring the fallen. And maybe some people have forgotten. We 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: have not forgotten on this show. We just lost thirteen 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: very recently, we lost thirteen warriors in this country. Pulled 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan turned out to be a disaster. Had 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: our guys standing in the middle of the crowd, isis suicide. 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Bomber blows himself up, kills thirteen of our guys, and 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of important, right, and Joe Biden chose not 19 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: to mention their names yesterday, we thought it would probably 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: be appropriate to mention their names today, since the President 21 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: of the United States of America didn't think it was 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: appropriate to mention their names in his Memorial Day's speech. 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Ryan nas Umberto Sanchez, Hunter Lopez, Riley McCollum, Dylan Morola, Dagan, 24 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: William Tyler, Joanni Rosario, Jared Schmidtz, Max Sobiac, David Espinoza, 25 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: Nicole g Darren Taylor, Hoover, Kareem Nkao. Not only did 26 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America get up 27 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: yesterday and not even mention the thirteen warriors who died 28 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: under his watch, he used the speech which has an 29 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to talk about guns. A twenty two caliber bullets 30 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: will lie in the lung and we can probably get 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: it out. Maybe you ever get and save the life. 32 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: A nine millimeter or bullet flows the lung out of 33 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: the body. The posticut in the second amount was never absolute. 34 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: You couldn't buy a cannon when the second amount was back. 35 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: You couldn't go out and purcas a lot of weapons, 36 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: and those who not many are saying anymore of it, 37 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: But there's a while there are people were saying that, 38 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, the career of liberty is water with the 39 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: blood of stakes. Then what we have to do is 40 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: you have to be able to take on the government 41 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: when they're wrong. Well to do that even at fifteen. Okay, well, 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: a couple of things here. That's Memorial Day, mister president. 43 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: It's Memorial Day, not gun grabbing day. It's a memorial 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: day too. Everything he just said there is an outright line. Again, 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: maybe these communists would have have more success winning over 46 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: gun people if they knew anything about guns. A nine 47 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: millimeter bullet blows the lungs out of the body. A 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: nine millimeter bullet is like that big, it looks like 49 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: Eric Smallwell, it's nothing. It doesn't blow the lungs out 50 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: of the body. Also, mister president, it's the tree of 51 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the 52 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: blood of patriots and tyrants. That was the founders of 53 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: this country who said those things. So keep that in mind. Also, 54 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: you need enough fifteen to take down the government. Really 55 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: tell that to the Taliban. All right, you know what 56 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna go to my buddy Josh Hammer. He is, 57 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: of course, the Newsweek opinion editor and host of the 58 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Josh Hammers Show. Josh, if I wanted to convince somebody 59 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: of my gun arguments. I would take I don't know, 60 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: ten fifteen minutes and learn something about guns. I think 61 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: that would be effective. Jesse, First of all, I'm happy 62 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: that you read the names of those who passed away 63 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan last August. I will I will be the 64 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: first two. Amen. I'm in this news commentary business for 65 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: a living. So much time has passes then that I 66 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: had almost forgotten that happened, so seriously, thank you for that. 67 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: But getting to Joe Bien here yesterday, I mean, look, 68 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: a nine millimeter or cartridge is standard issue for every 69 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: police officer in America. A nine millimeter handgun is by 70 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: far the most common handgun. My concealed carry piece is 71 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: a nine millimeter short. It's a very slightly different cartridge. 72 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: But whether it's a three eighty auto which is mine cartridge, 73 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: or nine millimeter, those are the most standard issue handgun 74 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: cartridges in America, And obviously, from a gun control, gun 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: grabbing Democratic Party perspective, it gives way the entire game here. Obviously, 76 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: if they talk a lot oftentimes when these horrific, abominable, 77 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: unconscionable mass shootings happen, they talk about so called assault 78 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: weapons one of which I also own, and I'm also 79 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: not giving that piece up. But sometimes they talk about that. 80 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: But this gives away the real game here. The real 81 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: game for the Democrats is ultimately not your rifles. It 82 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: is not your shotguns. It is handguns. Because to this day, 83 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: handguns in America do comprise the overalling majority of gun homicide. 84 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: Obviously the vast main jority. Those gun homicides happen in 85 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: largely urban blue Democratic government enclaves like Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. 86 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: They happen in drive by shootings, gang turf wort, but 87 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: they're mostly with handguns. So it's kind of a Freudian slipt. 88 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: It kind of gives away the entire game here, which 89 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: from my perspective is ultimately the seizing, banning, or something 90 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: to that effect of handguns themselves. Josh, why this now? 91 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I understand they always stand on dead bodies 92 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: in the wake of a shooting and go for guns. 93 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: That's become sadly, very sadly standard ever since Barack Obama 94 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: was president. But we're dealing with the Democratic Party now. 95 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: All things else aside very unpopular Joe Biden's unpopular vice 96 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: president Dome is unpopular, the party themselves as are unpopular, 97 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: and they're going to gun grab. This is not a winner, 98 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: or is it. Historically speaking, guns are a major, major 99 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: losing issue for the Democratic Party. For the love of God, 100 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: I actually have no idea what they think they're trying 101 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: to do here. The polling numbers for Democrats this fall 102 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: are abysmal. Joe Buyen's approval ratings are low forties, high thirties, 103 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: depending on the poll, depending on precisely how you think 104 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: it'll play out. Republicans have a chance to gain their 105 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: largest congressional majority since the Calvin Coolige administration a century ago, 106 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: so things are looking quite good for them. I have 107 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: no idea why they think this is a particularly good 108 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: issue for them to run on. Historically speaking, over the 109 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: past twenty five thirty years, Conservatives have lost a lot 110 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: of ground and a lot of cultural issues. The gun 111 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: issue is one ground where conservatives have buy and large 112 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: been winning. I mean a lot of purple states, light 113 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: red states have been getting constitutional carry or general kind 114 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: of liberalization of gun laws. More generally speaking, there this 115 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: is just not a good issue for Democrats. And even 116 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: unlike the abortion issue, where we've kind of seen the 117 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: total and complete end of the so called pro life democrat. 118 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: There are still some Democrats. There's increasingly few, but there 119 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: are still some from more rural kind of red areas. 120 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: Joe Mansions obviously a prime example who's just not going 121 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: to be down with a gun control agenda because at 122 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: this point, Jesse, as you and I both know, there 123 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: are more firearms in circulation in America then there are people. 124 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: Whether we want to have a well armed citizen read 125 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: is an interesting academic discussion that ship happened to sail 126 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty plus years ago. Okay, when the 127 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: second Memy was there in the Bill of Rights in 128 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: seventeen ninety one, that argument was, had we have a 129 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: well armed citizen ren At this point, any restrictions like 130 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: this will simply increase the will see we increase criminals 131 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: and will hurt law binding citizens. Josh, you have a 132 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: piece up in Newsweek about the Uvalde shooting. People are 133 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: looking for answers. What's what's your take on this whole 134 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: awful bit of business. Look so, Jesse, like you, I 135 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: well used to live in Texas. I used to live 136 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: in Texas. That's how we became friends years ago. I 137 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: used to live in Texas, and my mother's actually an 138 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: elementary school teachers, So this one actually hit home for 139 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: me a little bit more. I think a lot of 140 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: people have become numb to these horrific headlines. This one 141 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: actually did come home for me a little bit, especially 142 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 1: with just the horrific, horrific details we are learning about 143 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: police misscontact and police failure. Ninety police officers standing there 144 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: outside the classroom cowardly refusing to go in, and it 145 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: ultimately became border patrol who had to go in after 146 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: a half hour of listening to the vality police officers. 147 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: After a half hour, they basically said, what are we 148 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: doing here? Why are we not going in? So I 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: really want there to be accountability for what happened there 150 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: as far as horrible police misconduct. And I'm generally the 151 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: biggest defender of the police. Over and over again, I 152 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: defend the police against the anarchist that defund the police crowd. 153 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: I repeatedly defend them. But what happened here appears to 154 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: be very very bad. But look more, gun control is 155 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: simply not the answer. Okay. One thing that I pointed 156 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: out in this column and Newsweek, and I hope that 157 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: this talking point gets out there a little bit more. 158 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: But I would really like people to start looking at 159 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: in the late nineteen sixties early nineteen seventies, we made 160 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: it much much tougher to involuntarily commit mentally ill, derange 161 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: people in this country to asylums. This is around the 162 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: time that Jack Nicholson was making One over the Cuckoo's Nest. 163 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: That was kind of the cultural backdrop in America at 164 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: that time. But we made it much harder to get 165 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: mentally ill people off the street. All of these mass 166 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: shooters share one thing in common, if nothing else, they 167 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: are mentally ill, psychopathic, derange, insane people who should not 168 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: be on the streets, who should be an asylums should 169 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: be taken away from us. And if we actually start 170 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: to liberalize these laws, we can also kill two birds 171 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: in one stone, because a large proportion of the homeless 172 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: people in large cities across the country also happen to 173 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: be mentally ill. Actually, so that's one thing that I 174 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: really hope Conservatis in particular start talking about a little 175 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: bit more as reforming our civil commitment laws. Actually, Josh, 176 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: actually I'm glad you brought this up, because I, frankly 177 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to text you about this, this whole mental 178 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: institution mental health thing. I guess we'll probably talk off 179 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: there too. We also do in front of everybody. Right now, 180 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: here's what I'm worried about. I don't disagree with you 181 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: about the need to check people into mental health facilities, 182 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: but I worry about a mental health academic system that 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: we have right now in this country. That is I 184 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: mean to say left wing would be putting it mildly. 185 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: It is hardcore, hardcore to the left, and we're going 186 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: to do what Josh hand those people the keys to 187 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: decide who should be locked away for their insane beliefs. 188 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they could probably listen to one 189 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: episode of The Josh Hammer Show and decide Josh Hammer's 190 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: not right in his mind and should be locked in 191 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: a padded room. And I don't think that's out a 192 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: line to think that they would use their abuse their 193 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: power that way. Jesse, it's a really good point. It's 194 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: funny to mention that, actually I was getting drinks here 195 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: in Miami last night with a friend who raised this 196 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: exact same point to me. Actually it is an extremely 197 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: important point. It's actually a pretty persuasive one. Look it's 198 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: going to get down to pragmatic prudential policymaking. I mean, 199 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: the details in each policy you're going to dipper, whether 200 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: it's at a federal level, whether it's at a state level. Certainly, 201 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: I think basically what you said is basically my arguments 202 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: against red flag laws, because so called red flag laws, 203 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: first of all, they don't actually work. I mean, think 204 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: about New York State, which has a red flag lawed. 205 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: It certainly did not stop a mass shooter there at 206 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: the supermarket in Buffalo, New York, a couple of weeks ago. 207 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: But red flag laws, it seems to me, based on 208 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: my review of them so far, very little evidence is 209 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: actually needed whatsoever to take away the person's guns. So 210 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: you hold aside the fact that they're not effective in 211 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: the first place, that is a massive intrusion on liberty 212 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: without any semblance of due process. The kind of civil 213 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: commitment laws I'm talking about would have to entail a obviously, 214 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, a real kind of evidentiary hearing, like a full, 215 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: ideally kind of federal judicial kind of trial, I mean, 216 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: real evidence, due process. I hear you loud and clear, 217 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: and I think it's an extremely important point. And I 218 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: think policymaker is, if this were to pick up steam 219 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: and this policy start to get out, there would have 220 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: to bear in mind exactly what you're saying there, because 221 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the worst people to empower, 222 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: obviously are left wing bureaucrats who basically just want to 223 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: throw us in the Google love. So I hear you 224 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: loud and clear. I'm not sure exactly how to draw 225 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: the line here, but I think we probably can thread 226 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: some sort of needle. Lord Josh Hammer, the Josh Hammer Show, 227 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, my brother appreciation anytime.

You know people who hate you are 235 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: reading those right, They're collecting all the information in those emails. 236 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: They're not only collecting them, they're selling them to other people. 237 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: Your worst enemies. They read your email? Why are you 238 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: doing that? Go get secure. It's a Swiss based company. 239 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: They can't be touched by any of these absurd communist 240 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: American laws.

Each morning, the President of 245 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the 246 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: most important issues facing the country. It's called the President's 247 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, 248 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: now you can hear your very own PDB in the 249 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, 250 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern, 251 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most 252 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence 253 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: and analysis you need to start your morning. I have 254 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: a few thoughts to share now that the trial has ended. First, 255 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: I told the truth to the FBI, and the jury 256 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: wreck clearly recognize that we're their unanimous verdict. Today, I'm 257 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: grateful to the members of the jury for the careful 258 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: and thoughtful service Despite being falsely accused. I'm relieved that 259 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: justice ultimately prevailed in my case. See justice was done. 260 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: No big deal. I under what you're stressing about. That was, 261 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: of course, Michael Sussman, Hillary Clinton's lawyer, after you got 262 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: acquitted in DC. Today in Obama judge a Hillary Clinton donor, 263 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: an AOC donor on the jury. I don't know. The 264 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: whole thing stinks to me. Joining me now to talk 265 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: about that. Margot Cleveland, your legal correspondent at the Federalist. 266 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: All right, Margot, you actually predicted an acquittal on Friday. 267 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: That's pretty bold. You obviously nailed that one. As you 268 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: take your victory, lab tell us why you knew this 269 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: was coming. Well, the reason I thought there was going 270 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: to be an acquittal is the witnesses for the government 271 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: were not happy about being there. You saw James Baker, 272 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: who said, look, this isn't my prosecution, this is your prosecution. 273 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: You asked me to look for something. I looked for it. 274 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: Then you had Bill Pristapp, who was clearly grudgingly being there. 275 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: If the people who were lied to by the defendant 276 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: didn't care, why is the jury going to care. The 277 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: other reason is one of the things the jury had 278 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to decide was the question of materiality, And legally you 279 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: don't need a lot for materiality, but practically the jury's 280 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: going to look at it and say, basically, what difference 281 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: at this point does it make anyway? So I think 282 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: that that was where I came down. We also have 283 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: that this is a DC jury. Whether or not they 284 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: were Hillary donors or Bernie Sander donors or AOC donors, 285 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: which some of them were, these are people who live 286 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: and work in the district. They have friends who live 287 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: and work in the district. So he was acquitted by 288 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: a jury of his peers, and the jury of his 289 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: peers us members of the DC establishment, whether they have 290 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: someone personally working there or at somebody who's a neighbor 291 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: whose kid is on the same team as the defendant. 292 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: Either way, you have it there. One thing, though, I 293 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: think is interesting is the clip he played where he 294 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: said I told the truth to the FBI. I want 295 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: to know what he's claiming he told to the FBI, 296 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: because we still don't know at the jury verdict, excuse me, 297 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: at the jury trial, he was going his attorneys were 298 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: going back and forth between saying he didn't say I 299 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: don't represent anybody to saying he didn't actually represent anybody. 300 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: So which one was it that was the truth he 301 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: supposedly told to the FBI Margot, I know I'm a 302 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: minority in this, but frankly, I don't care about Hillary 303 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: Clinton's lawyer or anyone associated with Hillary Clinton is going 304 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: to be a scumbag liar that's built in. Michael Susman 305 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: has no say over my life. The FBI, however, can 306 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: destroy any American citizen they want with the snap of 307 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: their fingers. What do we know. Do we learn anything 308 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: new about malfeasance at the FBI over the course of 309 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: this trial, Well, we did, and part was what I 310 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: just pointed out. That they're not happy with being there, 311 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: the ones who were involved in it, which tells me 312 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: that they're not concerned with the justice or not if 313 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: you're being lied too. And that's what Baker said. He 314 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: was one hundred percent confident in what he testified. So 315 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: to me, that tells me that the FBI is just 316 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of swamp creatures. Anyway, you have a revolving 317 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: door of political appointees, and then you have the career 318 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: appointees that are no different than the text messages we 319 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: saw between Peter Struck and Lisa Page, so we have that. 320 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: We also learned when this was ongoing that the Inspector 321 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: General of the Department of Justice with held information from Durham. 322 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: We're not getting team players here. And one of the 323 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: things that I think came out, and this is something 324 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm working on for tomorrow, is what the opening statement 325 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: the prosecutors put forth to the jury was that this 326 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: is not the Democrats FBI or the Republicans FBI. This 327 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: is our FBI. This verdict tells me, no, it's not. 328 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: It's not our FBI. It's the swamps FBI. They will 329 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: protect their own, they will watch after them. And it's 330 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: not just that there was an acquittal. This acquittal came 331 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: after less than a day of deliberation. That part actually 332 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: shocked me. That part actually appalled me, because what that 333 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: means is there was not one member of the jury 334 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: who waded through all of the savidence. There's no way 335 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: you can go through two weeks of evidence and discuss it. 336 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: From my understanding, and I've never been under jury, but 337 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: I've had friends who are and they say, usually you 338 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: start out with a vote and then they talk about it. 339 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: If what happened. Here was the vote came down with 340 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: now he's not guilty. There wasn't much to talk about. 341 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: They just needed one person to say wait. He texted 342 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: Baker and said, I'm not coming on behalf of anyone. 343 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: He told Congress that he was representing a text expert. 344 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: We had all of these witnesses that came forward and 345 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: said what he said or why it mattered. So when 346 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: it comes down to is you couldn't even get one 347 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: juror who was pushing enough for them to sit and 348 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: sift through this evidence for more than one day. So 349 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: to me, that was appalling. And I think that it 350 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: all ties into what we have in DC, which is 351 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: it's an establishment that protects its own. Margot, I'm gonna 352 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: rewind to something you said a minute ago. The Inspector 353 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: General of the DOJ withheld information from Durham. For those 354 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: who don't know, would you please explain the inspector general 355 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: is and why that's such a big deal. Sure, So 356 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: the Inspector General is supposed to be handling complaints when 357 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: there's an accusation against someone within their authorities. So every area, 358 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: the EPA, the FDA, everybone has an inspector General. The 359 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: biggest one we saw was when there was a report 360 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: on the five set application, so there was like almost 361 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: a five hundred page Inspector General report. Well, what happened 362 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: here was that Durham wanted to get some information and 363 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: was trying to get some details of what they might 364 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: need to turn over during discovery, and during that process 365 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: they learned that there was that sessment approached with some 366 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: information about some computer information that a client had come 367 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: forward with and provided Durham with a summary of that. Well, 368 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: Sussman then came back and said, well, I was actually 369 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: there to talk about it with Joffey. About Joffey, he 370 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: was my client in that case, and I actually met 371 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: with the Inspector General himself, and then when they went back, 372 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden there was more information that was 373 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: provided that wasn't originally provided. In addition, there were two 374 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: of Baker's cell phones that the Inspector General had. Now 375 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: this had nothing to do with this case, but to 376 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: me it points out a bigger problem that really the 377 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: DJ's Inspector General office was not being a team player. 378 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: That also ties into Baker. You know, he was the 379 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: one who had this text message the night before where 380 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: Sessman said, I'm not coming on behalf of clients. They 381 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: could have proven that, or they could have charged that 382 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: as a potential false statement, but they didn't have the 383 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: evidence until the Statute of Limitations came on and ran out. 384 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: So again there's there's mess all around this. Godly all right, 385 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: Margot the Dirham? Is this the death blow for people 386 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: who are hoping Durham's going to dig into all the 387 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: lies and corruption and get something out. Is it pretty 388 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: much finished? Is it gone? Is this just one of 389 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: the little fish and he's going to move on to 390 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: someone else? What do we know? What do we think 391 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: we know about that? Well, we obviously don't know, because 392 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: he's keeping a very close lid on everything, which to 393 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: me tells you he's serious. This isn't like the Special 394 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: Counsel Robert Mueller, who had leaks left and right. But 395 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: we still have the Dan Chunko case, and Dan Checo 396 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: is a much bigger situation because he was the one 397 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: involved with the Steel dossier and he was the one 398 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: who had made up information. So yes, this is going 399 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: to be the end of the sessment aspect of it. 400 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: But there's still the potential for Joffy there's still the 401 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: potential for other information to come out, and as I 402 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: wrote in a piece today, we now have Durham also 403 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: having breached or pure some of the attorney client privilege, 404 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: so there could still be more details coming from there. 405 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: One point, though, I want to make about Durham as 406 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: much as you're seeing the left wing media say this 407 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: is some sort of a vindication of Sessman and an 408 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: indictment of Durham. Durham's reputation has always been of a 409 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: straight laced prosecutor, and all of a sudden when he's 410 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: going after the Clinton cronies, now they're trying to make 411 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: him seem somehow swamp like, which is ridiculous. You can't 412 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: change from one to the other. So the fact that 413 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: he pushed this case against Suessman, I think shows us 414 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: that it was a serious case, none of this kind 415 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: of witch hunt that the media is starting to pretend 416 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: it is. Finally, Mark hesitate to even ask, because I 417 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: know the answer is going to be a crushing disappointment. 418 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Is anyone in the government dj FBI, Is anyone going 419 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: to go down ever for anything they've done wrong? Here? 420 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: Probably not? What a shock, Margot, Thank you so much. 421 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: For joining us again. Please come back soon. Thanks so much. Jesse. 422 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now, there is 423 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: a time limit for nations when they get nakedly corrupt 424 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: with two different justice systems. What that time limit is, 425 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. Next month, next ten years, next one 426 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: hundred years, I don't know. But I do know that 427 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: clock is ticket. You cannot have a country where no 428 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: one in the federal government ever goes to prison. You 429 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: won't have a country. All right, all right, speaking of 430 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: corruption and government idiocy, we're going to talk about COVID, 431 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: tieranny and accountability and how things work down. Oh yeah, 432 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: that's coming here in a second. Also talk about you, 433 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: your money, your home. Do you own a home. If 434 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: you own a home, your home title is online. I 435 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: cannot stress that enough. Your home title is online. It 436 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: is not just a piece of paper sitting in a 437 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: bank fall. It is in danger. The biggest cyber crime 438 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: out there right now, home title theft. It's lucrative. They 439 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: hack into your home title, steal your information, forwards your 440 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: signature on it, take a loan or several out against 441 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: your home, and you don't have any idea. It's not 442 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: like someone's calling you. They don't give up your phone number, 443 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: but you'll know when you start getting eviction notice is 444 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: attached to your door.

We'll be back. 446 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: We cannot forget, we can't let it go, we can't 447 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: move on. We can't just look around and say, oh, 448 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad that's over. We have to have a reckoning. 449 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: And of course I'm talking about our COVID response, and 450 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: we've had this talk before, We're gonna have it again. 451 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: This is not about revenge, It is not. This is 452 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: about making sure what the government, what the public health 453 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: officials did to us for the last two years, is 454 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: never done again. And as of right now, doesn't matter 455 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: how much you complain or I complained, or we point 456 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: out this or point out that, as of right now, 457 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: there's not a single public health official or politician who's 458 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: concerned about being thrown in prison for what they did, 459 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: not one of them. And you know what that means. 460 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: That means still do it again, without hesitation, Without hesitation, 461 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: they will abuse you and slaughter a nation again because 462 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: they're not worried, because every one of them can look 463 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: back to last time they did it and say, huh 464 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: not an happen to me. That's why we need a reckoning. 465 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: That's what justice is about. Making sure the next time 466 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: they consider deciding who is and who isn't essential, the 467 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: next time they decide they want to mentally abuse a 468 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: nation's children, they have to have a moment, no matter 469 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: how sick and to pray they are, they have to 470 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: have a moment where they sit and say, I don't 471 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: want to go to prison though, I mean, look at Bob. 472 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: Bob went to prison. If they don't have to have 473 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: that conversation in their head, they're going to do it again. 474 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: There's an article out in New York Times and it 475 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: is I mean, it's heartbreaking, and I want you to 476 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: understand when I read you these things, these are real kids. 477 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's going to get lost in all these 478 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 1: stats and percentages, but these are children. This is the 479 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: next generation, the future of the country. New York Times 480 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: survey three hundred and sixty two school counselors. You know 481 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: what they found out. Ninety four percent said kids are 482 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: showing increased signs of anxiety or depression. Eighty eight percent 483 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: said that kids can't regulate their emotions. Eighty six percent 484 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: said kids can't focus on class work, eighty five percent 485 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: kids are chronically apps, and seventy three said kids can't 486 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: solve conflicts with their own friends. And more and more 487 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: and more. And the thing is, it's hard. It's hard 488 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: to drive home how critical this is. We took two 489 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: years of critical development, a two year time frame in 490 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: a child's life, and we, I mean, forget about pausing it, 491 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: forgetting about backtracking it. We put how many of our 492 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: nation's youth on the wrong path. If they were heading 493 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: down a right one, we might have just diverted them 494 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: down a wrong one that many will never recover from ever. 495 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: And we did this. Keep in mind for a virus 496 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: that was no threat to them at all. Coronavirus is 497 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: not a danger to children. We know that now. It's 498 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: not unscientific. I can read numbers. Coronavirus is not dangerous 499 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: for your child. Take that stupid mask off your child's 500 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: face and apologize to them for you being a sheep. 501 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: And I want you to remember. I want you to 502 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: remember the people who did this. These are the people 503 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: who should be in federal prison. Read that masks are 504 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: a very powerful layer of protection, but it's one layer, 505 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: and if we have so many other layers that are 506 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: present masking, maybe one that could go away. But I 507 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: would say that let's say a school where or a 508 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: particular class, everybody's vaccinated in that class, and also the 509 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: level of committity transmission is declining, I could imagine that 510 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: situation being where we remove masks because we have all 511 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: these other layers. That's why I like what Massachusetts has 512 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: done was what they've said is that on a school 513 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: by school basis, they said, if there's eighty percent vaccination rates, 514 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: then those schools can lift the mandates. It's understandable, like 515 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: people want to take masks off the kids, but right now, 516 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: given the level of activity that we have, it is 517 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: risky for kids who are under twelve. Certainly outdoor activities 518 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: are much safer. We can do those activities generally outside 519 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: without a mask. So for the spring weathers where things 520 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: where for the spring weather where things are really looking 521 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: beautiful outside, try and keep your kids outside right now. Okay, 522 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: So it sounds like no indoor movies, no indoor dining 523 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: is your best recommendation. Well, I would say, you know, 524 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: those things are certainly possible, but I would still be 525 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: putting your mask on your kids who are under twelve 526 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: and unvaccinated. In those situations, children were in masks in 527 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: school so they can be safe into a political dispute, 528 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: and that desending about politics. It's about keeping our children shafe. 529 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: Teenage girls are killing themselves across the country because of 530 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: all those people, and many many more. And I'll tell 531 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: you something. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here, 532 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: but is there a single Republican national Republican who's talking 533 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: about trials and arrests? Is there even one? Can you 534 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: name one? I can't. All Right, we got we still 535 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: got more show for you here. We're going to talk 536 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: about the economy, how bad it is. We have a 537 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: great light in the mood. We have much much more coming. First, 538 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: let's talk about it even pure talk about the greatest 539 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: air purifier in the history of mankind, which is very 540 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: odd because it's also the smallest one I've ever had. 541 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: I've had a millionaire purifiers that because I have such 542 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: bad allergies, or I should say I had such bad allergies, 543 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: And I've always had the big towers right that they 544 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: sit in the corner of your room.

Are you worried about the economy. I 555 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: don't know why you're stressing. Joe Biden is all over it. 556 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: In fact, he's so all over it. He penned this 557 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: long op ed for the Wall Street Journal. He's got 558 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: a plan, and he said in there too, Hey, he's 559 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: not gonna meddle with the Fed, and so I hope 560 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: you're not going to get suspicious that. Less than twenty 561 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: four hours later, he had a closed door meeting with 562 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve chairman. Gosh, these scumbags joining me now. 563 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: Joel Griffith, research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Joel, I'm 564 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: not worried man, Joe's got a plan. Well, the president 565 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: in this op ed actually claimed that we're just going 566 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: through a period of transition, and he actually said, don't 567 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: worry about these lower jobs growth. It's actually a sign 568 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: that we have a stronger economy. And oddly enough, nowhere 569 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: in this Wall Street Journal piece that he published, nowhere 570 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: here did he even acknowledge that our economy actually shrink 571 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: during the first quarter of this year. I'm laughing because 572 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: this is one of the most humorous op eds I've 573 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: ever read. Okay, what was so funny about a Joel? 574 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: I know you're I know you have a piece coming 575 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: up on Heritage about it. I want people to go 576 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: read that tonight. But because you've been going line by 577 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: line fact checking this thing, what are some facts he 578 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: got wrong? Joel? Well, well, just going from the start 579 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: of this piece to where he suggested that at the 580 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: start of his presidency that he was inheriting COVID that 581 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: was out of control and a recovery that was stalled. 582 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 1: And if we look back at the end of twenty twenty, 583 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: we actually see state after state that had reopened, that 584 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: had fully recovered. This had become largely a recession, a 585 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: depression of the Democrat controlled cities like Los Angeles, Chicago 586 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: in New York that refused to reopen their economies, and 587 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: then for him to claim that we have the best 588 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: jobs market since World War Two. Well, if you look 589 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: at the percentage of the working age population that has 590 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: either working or looking for a job today, it remains 591 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: lower than it was before the pandemic. And there's no 592 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: acknowledgement in this entire op ed of what's actually caused 593 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: all of this inflation. The six trillion dollars of money 594 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: printing that has occurred, has been injecting the economy. There's 595 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: no acknowledgement that that was a gross mistake. Joel, you're 596 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: the smart one. I'm clearly not so I just I 597 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: do have to ask you bring up the six trillion 598 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: and everyone know, well, I should say everyone with a 599 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: brain nose, that's what's caused the inflation. Now, how do 600 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: we get six trillion outs? I mean, when we put 601 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: it in, we have too much money. Now, how do 602 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: we get it out? Oh, you're right, there's no easy 603 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: way out of this. So we saw over the past 604 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: two years, we saw the Fed print trillions of dollars. 605 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: They basically used that they bought government bonds. That money 606 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: was then spent. More importantly, I think that money ended 607 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: up in the hands of investors, and those investors had 608 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: to park the money somewhere. So we saw a lot 609 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: of the money going to crypto We saw a lot 610 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: of that money going to the stock market. We saw 611 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: bubble after bubble created by this. All this money is 612 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: now a watch in the system, and this money multiplies. 613 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: When money gets put on deposit at a bank and 614 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: a bank lends out based on those deposits, that actually 615 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: creates more money. There's no easy way out of this. 616 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: Either they try to increase interest rates, they try to 617 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: absorb some of this cashing the economy, or they let 618 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: the money run rampant. Either way, we are paying for 619 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 1: these mistakes, and we're going to pay for the mistakes. 620 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: The question remains is Biden, are the other politicians. Are 621 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: they going to successfully point the fingers elsewhere, or is 622 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: the American public at last going to wake up to 623 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: what is actually causing our misery. Joe the strategic oil reserve. 624 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: I remember when Joe Biden tapped into that. He's gonna 625 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: take care of these gas prices and tap into the 626 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: strategic Oil reserve. Can you tell me what kind of 627 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: an update do we have on that? How is the 628 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: reserve doing? How are those gas prices doing? Joel Well. 629 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 1: President Biden loves to throw around these numbers that sound big. 630 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: He claims, Oh, we're releasing one million barrels of oil 631 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: a day from the strategic resoives and we're gonna do 632 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: this for six months. And that stands like a lot 633 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: of oil. And it's a lot of oil. But if 634 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: you think, if you think for a second and remember 635 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: that we're going through close to twenty million barrels of 636 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 1: oil a day, that means that all of the oil 637 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: that's releasing from the reserves, that amounts to about eight 638 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: days worth of oil. It's almost nothing. And that's part 639 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: of the reason why if you can stitue to see 640 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: these gas prices increase. And ironically, on the very day 641 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago that gas prices did an all 642 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 1: time high. On that day, President Biden thought that would 643 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: be a great chance to announce that he's putting a 644 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: million acres of federal property in Alaska off limits for 645 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: future oil and gas development. Joe the Jerome Powell meeting, 646 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: I mentioned it in passing and I don't want to 647 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: dwell on it too long. But what should we make 648 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: of that? I mean it, correct me if I'm wrong, 649 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: and please do. The President shouldn't have any say in 650 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: the FED, right So if he doesn't have any say 651 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: in the FED, what's the point of meeting with the 652 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: FED chairman? Can you give me an update here? Like 653 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: President Biden wants to make it clear that he feels 654 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: our pain, that he knows what we're experiencing, and that's 655 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: why he's meeting with the chair But there's no acknowledgment 656 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: of the fact that the FED was working hand in 657 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 1: hand with both Republicans and Democrats in Congress to sped 658 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: into oblivity. We talked about that six trillion dollars and 659 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to get our minds around that. That's almost 660 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars per family of four of money 661 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: that was basically borrowed, that was created, that was printed 662 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: out of thin air. This was Congress working with the 663 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: prior president and then working with the current president who 664 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: doubled down on the mistakes of what we saw dr 665 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: in the first part of COVID. That's what's causing our 666 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 1: misery right now. President vibe is going to try to 667 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: point fingers at other people. He's going to try to 668 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: point fingers at Chairman Pal. In reality, this was the 669 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: Federal the Federal Reserve, working hand in hand with politicians 670 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: to create this problem. We should have never shut down 671 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: in the first place. That was we were really sowing 672 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: the seeds of our destruction. Then, Joel, there's a way 673 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: of thinking in the country that Wall Street is Republican. Right, 674 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: those are the greedy capitalists with their ties on and 675 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: their little monocles in and looking down at the poors. 676 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: But it's not really the case, isn't Joel. It seems 677 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: that Wall Street has gone left, or at least gone 678 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: Democrat for a while. Now. Well, look, Wall Street benefited 679 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: quite a bit from this rampant money printing. You saw 680 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: politicians buying off votes by ascending around stimulus checks. Everyone, 681 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats, we're both cheering that, and probably a 682 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of us enjoyed receiving those thousand, two thousand dollar 683 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: checks and child text credits and are checking accounts. But 684 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: that was only part of the bailout. The bigger part 685 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: of this actually went to propping up the stock market. Look, 686 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: every Treasury bond that was purchased by the FED. That 687 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: dollar went somewhere. A lot of that was pumped into 688 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: the stock market, and that resulted in asset valuation. Sorry, 689 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of people on Wall Street did cash out. 690 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: I mean, think about the market right now, even with 691 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: the correction that we're in, the stock market valuation is 692 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: about twenty percent larger than it was. The entire of 693 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: all those stocks about twenty percent larger than it was 694 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: before the pandemic. We have to think, is our economy 695 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: really twenty percent better? I think all of us know 696 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: it's not. Well. That money went somewhere. A lot of 697 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: people on Wall Street benefited from this rampant money printing. Great, 698 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: while we're all taking it into shorts. Wall Street got 699 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: twenty percent better, all right? Joel. Finally, now, I'm the 700 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 1: furthest thing in the world from an optimist, but I 701 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: think we are heading towards a depression. I've said it 702 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: several times. We're not heading into a recession. We're in 703 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: a recession. It's just not official for another couple of months. 704 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: I think we are heading towards something severe, not just 705 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: because of where we are, but because of the idiots 706 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: we have in charge. Everything they're doing is pushing us 707 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: that way, Am I wrong? Look, even if we don't 708 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: end up in a recession officially or a depression, that's 709 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: not going to mitigate the reality that the typical American 710 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: family has seen a substantial hit to their standard of living, 711 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: and these inflation numbers aren't even fully showing that. I mean, 712 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 1: for instance, we see the inflation, they say, oh, rent 713 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: has increased housing costs of increased six percent year of year. 714 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: I can virtually guaranteed at ninety percent of the people 715 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: watching right now have either seen their mortgage payments or 716 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: their rent increase far more than six percent. If you're 717 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: looking to buy a house today, your mortgage payment alone 718 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: is going to be seventy percent higher than it was 719 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: just a year ago. So we're in for a world 720 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: of hurt. Regardless of what those numbers are showing. People 721 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: are hurting right now. And my only source of optimism 722 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: really is that people are starting to wake up and 723 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: you actually hear people talking about federal suspending and the 724 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,760 Speaker 1: Central Bank oring responsible for this mess that we're in. Joel, 725 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: thank you so much, my man. I appreciate you. Thanks Jesse. 726 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: All Right, we've got a great light in the mood.

I've told 736 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: you this before. I'm not a pet guy. I mean, 737 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: the dogs are clearly the superior pets. And it's not 738 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: like I hate dogs. Okay, I grew up with dogs, 739 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: but I never wanted a dog. We eventually got a dog. 740 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: I got two sons. Boys have to have a dog. 741 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: We got a dog, right And I feel like I 742 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: feel like I'm a worse parent with the dog than 743 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: I am with the kids. And I feel like I 744 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: continue to get worse and the dog knows how to 745 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: manipulate me, Like you get the dog right away, and 746 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: we had all this no table scraps, nope, that he's 747 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: only gonna eat the dog food or whatever.

We're not doing that, right, That's that 752 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: was the rule. And then he sits there and he 753 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: looks at you like that, or sometimes he'll come up 754 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: and just rest his head on your lap. And sometimes 755 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: sometimes I give him something. It's hard to stop. See 756 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: this kid knows what I'm talking about. Don't feed the dog. Okay. 757 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 1: You don't need to get side. You just can't feed 758 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: the dog. Honey, You're not allowed.
