1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Welcoming as verdict of Senator tab CRUs been Ferguson with 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: you and Senator You and I were chatting before the 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: show that it's been one half of a week for 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: the corrupt media and they've just been stepping in it 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: all week long. Well listen, it's it's one of the 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: most dangerous aspects in our democracy today is that we 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: no longer have a free and independent media. We no 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: longer have a media that engages in actual journalism. And 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's hyperbole. You know, there was a 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: time when people in the media viewed their mission as 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: reporting both sides, as reporting the facts and letting you decide. 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: There was a time when journalists were trained to focus 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: on the facts, the who, what, where, when, why, and 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: not focus on editorializing. That no longer is the mission 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: of the corporate media. The corporate media today, they have 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: embraced their view as propagandists. They have embraced their view 17 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: as partisans, and in fact, when it comes to partisans, 18 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: I think the corporate media are the most vicious leftists 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: there are. They will criticize the Democrat Party for one 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: thing and one thing only, and that's not being leftist. 21 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: Enough there. They view their job as drive them to 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: the left, and they also are the attack dogs. And 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: I got to say, when they're engaged in attacks, their 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: bigotry comes out, their ignorance comes out there, desp despising 25 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: of anyone who is an a leftist comes out, and 26 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: it really the double standard is profound. Yeah, you look 27 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: at this week and just one of those perfect examples 28 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: is what happened with Don Lemon. And to be clear, 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: before we play this, if a Republican, if AMES servative 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: would have said this on TV, I have no doubt 31 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: that they would have been fired. In fact, I can 32 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: even say if I was at CNN, and I was 33 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: there for seven years, if I would have said what 34 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: I'm about to play for you, I would have immediately 35 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: been shown the door. And yet Don Lemon gets to 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: come back without an apology. Take a listen, it's all 37 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: to talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that 38 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: I think it's the wrong road to go down. She says, people, 39 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: you know, politicians are something and not in their prime. 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: Nicki Haley isn't in her prime. Sorry, when a woman 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: is considered being a prime in our twenties and thirties 42 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: and maybe forties. That's not, according to me, prime for 43 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: what it depends. I mean, it's just like prime. If 44 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: you look it up, it'll if you look if you google, 45 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: when is a woman in her prime, it'll say twenties, 46 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: thirties and forties. I don't I agree with that, So 47 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: I think she has to be careful about saying that. 48 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: You know, politicians aren't in their prime. You can qualifier 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: talking out prime for like child about that. Dan. Facts 50 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: are Google and everybody at home, when is a woman 51 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: in her prime? It says twenties, thirties and forties. And 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Nicki Haley should be careful about saying 53 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: that politicians are not in their prime and they need 54 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: to be in their prime when they serve, because she 55 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't be in her prime according to Google or whatever 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: it is. Now. I love it because they're even mocking 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: him on the set. They can't believe he's actually saying this. 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: They're they're obviously trying to protect him in a sense. 59 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: But then he doesn't even have to apologize and Ernie 60 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: gets his job back. Right. Well, look, his comments there 61 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: are drippingly misogynistic. You know, Joe Biden is what one 62 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: hundred and forty two years old, and according to him, 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: apparently Biden is in his prime. But but he's willing 64 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: to suggest that that once a woman hits her forties, 65 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: by her fifties, she's over the hill, just you know, 66 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: put her out to pasture. And it's there's a reason 67 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: he's willing to say say that because he doesn't consider 68 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Nicki Haley a woman. It's the point we made on 69 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: the pod we just did with Wesley Hunt. Don Lemon 70 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: does not consider Wesley Hunt to be a black man. 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Don Lemon does not consider me to be hispanic. If 72 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: you dare to be conservative, the left erases you from 73 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: whatever victim class they want to put and they put 74 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: everyone in victim classes, but they define it. You're only 75 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: black if you're a leftist, as Joe Biden said, if 76 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: you're not voting for Joe Biden, you ain't black. I mean, 77 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: what a bigoted thing to say. Don Lemon, I promise 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: you despises Clarence Thomas. Why because he dares as a 79 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: black man to be a conservative. And Don Lemon not 80 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: only despises Nicki Haley, but he views her with a 81 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: particular If it were just a white guy, fine, he 82 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: could live with that. Old, fat, bald white guys are 83 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: the one group they think are allowed to be conservatives. 84 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: But if you're a woman, you're a traitor. And so 85 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: his comments reveal the particular contempt, you know, the differential 86 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: of how the left treats Clarence Thomas versus how they 87 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: treated antonin Scalia. Antonin Scalia was a strong conservative, was brilliant, 88 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and the left didn't like him, but they didn't react. 89 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: You know, you had one magazine that that portrayed Clarence 90 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: Thomas as an uncle Tom, basically shining the shoes of 91 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: antonin Scalia. That's bigoted and racist. But they are rather 92 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: contempt is their feeling. And so after he made these comments, 93 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: CNN realized, oh, he stepped at it. Now, you're right, Ben, 94 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: if you'd said the exact same thing, if you read 95 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: his words on air, they would have fired you, probably 96 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: before you were finished speaking. Yeah, But for Don Levin, 97 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: because he's a leftist and because he was attacking a Republican, 98 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: all is fine and good. So he put out a tweet. 99 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: I want to read the tweet he made. The reference 100 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: I made to a woman's prime this morning was inartful 101 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, 102 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: and I regret it. A woman's age doesn't define her, 103 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my 104 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: life who prove that every day. Now, this statement is 105 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: several things. I'll tell you what. It is not an apology. 106 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: Nowhere in there are the words I'm sorry. Nowhere in 107 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the words are I'm a bumbling left wing, hypocritical, misogynist jackass, 108 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: which is what he should have said. You know what. 109 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: He also doesn't say that what he said was wrong. 110 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: What he says is it's inartful. In other words, may 111 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: have been true in his mind, but he didn't express 112 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: it quite as artfully as elegantly as he might have. 113 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: And he said and irrelevant now relevant doesn't mean wrong either. 114 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: It just means well, I shouldn't have pointed it out 115 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: because I don't know. It's not relevant because people criticize me. 116 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: And he goes on, he says and I regret it. 117 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: He doesn't say I'm sorry, He doesn't apologize to Nicky Hayley, 118 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: to women, doesn't apologie. And then he says, a woman's 119 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: age doesn't define her, either personally or professionally. Well, he 120 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: still isn't disagreeing with his assinine statement. Look, my wife 121 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Heidi turned fifty last year. Heidi Cruz is absolutely in 122 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: her prime. In fact, Heidi is going to run a 123 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: marathon next month to celebrate turning fifty. Margaret Thatcher, who 124 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: last I checked, wasn't in her twenties or thirties or 125 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: four and she was in her prime. Unbelievable leader. You 126 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: want to talk about a woman who bestrode the earth 127 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: like a colossus, who, along with Reagan and Pope John Paul, 128 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: changed the course of human history. But you know what, 129 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Don Lemon doesn't think she was in her prime because 130 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: she's not a woman. Why because she's conservative and you 131 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: don't count as a woman for leftists. And then the 132 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: amazing thing is what a CNN do They take him 133 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: off the air for two days and then back on 134 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: air because it's a double standard that only applies to 135 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: one political side of the aisle. There was something that 136 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: I laugh about because I woke up this morning to 137 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: a text from a former colleague of mine at CNN 138 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: and it said, please check Don Lemon's Twitter And at 139 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: four thirty five am, he took so much heat from 140 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: the tweet that you just read that. He then put 141 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: out a new tweet and this is what it said. 142 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate the opportunity to be back on CNN this 143 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: morning today, to my network, my colleagues, and are incredible audience. 144 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I've heard you, I'm learning from you, and 145 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm committed to doing better. See you soon. Yet he 146 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: still can't bring himself to actually apologize to the person 147 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: he originally offended. So even the like, okay, let me 148 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: be cleared, let me be clear, Ben, it's not just 149 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley who he did insult her by saying she's 150 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: not in her prime, but he insulted every woman in 151 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: her fifties and her sixties and her seventies. What an 152 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: asinine statement. By the way, under the Constitution, the minimum 153 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: age to be president of the United States is thirty five. 154 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: So I guess in Don Lemon's world there is a 155 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: fifteen year one window when a woman in her prime 156 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: is allowed to be president between thirty five and forty 157 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: nine and a half. And what an assinine proposition. And 158 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: mind you, Joe Biden, they don't think anything of it. 159 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, I guarantee you Don Lemon never said, you 160 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: know what, Hillary Clinton wasn't in her forties when she 161 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: ran for president. It's an absolute double standard. No, it 162 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: certainly is. And by the way, Don Lemon wasn't the 163 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: only one to step in it this week. Andrea Mitchell 164 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: had her own big oops moment. I'm going to tell 165 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: you about that in a second, but first one to 166 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Senator Andrea Mitchell also got 194 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: herself in a lot of hot water this week when 195 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: she did the only way I can describe is basically 196 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: a hit on Governor Rhnda Santists trying to imply the 197 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: some sort of extreme clansmen racists. And she had an interview, 198 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: an NBC exclusive with Vice President Harris and here's what 199 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: was said. And the only problem with what was said 200 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: is it wasn't true. Let me ask you, what does 201 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: Governor Rhnda Santis not know a black about black history 202 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: and the black experience when he says that slavery and 203 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: the aftermath of slavery should not be taught to Florida 204 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: school children. I don't know what he knows and what 205 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't know, but I know this. Any push to 206 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: censor America's teachers and tell them what they should be 207 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: teaching in the best interests of our children in partnership 208 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: with the parents of America is I think wrongheaded. The 209 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: people who know our children best are their parents and 210 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: their teachers in terms of the time they spend, in 211 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: the investment they've placed in the brains and capacity of 212 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: our children, who are our nation's future. And it should 213 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: not be some politician saying what should be taught in 214 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: our classrooms. And I mean this story. The problem with 215 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: it is it's not true, Senator, as you pointed out, 216 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: So there are lots of problems with it. Number One, 217 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: Andrea Mitchell is the question is incredibly ignorant. Like what 218 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: she's saying, it's not even just a little bit not true. 219 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: It's a total blatant lie. But it is a blatant 220 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: lie based on her assumptions that all Republicans are ignorant 221 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: philistines who don't want history taught in any way. Who 222 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: don't want who don't want slavery or the aftermath of 223 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: slavery taught? Now, of course, Florida schools teach about slavery 224 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: and the aftermath of slavery. And by the way, you 225 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: want to talk about who wants to cover up history Andrea, 226 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: Who was it that signed the Emancipation Proclamation? Oh yeah, 227 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: that was Abraham Lincoln. That was the first Republican president. 228 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: Who was it that founded the ku Klux Klan? Oh yeah, 229 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: those were Democrat politicians. Who was it that wrote the 230 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: Jim Crow Laws? Oh yeah, those were Democrat politicians. Who 231 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: was it that eulogized an exalted Cyclops of the ku 232 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: Klux Klan Robert Byrd, Oh yeah, that was Joe Biden, 233 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: the sitting Democrat president of the United States. You want 234 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: to talk about who doesn't want to deal with slavery 235 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: in the aftermath of slavery, it is Andrew Mitchell, who's 236 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: never reported on any of those facts. The absurdity of 237 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: saying that Republicans, in this case Rohn de Santis don't 238 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: want the fact of slavery taught is deliberately ignorant, and 239 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: it's based on the same assumption. Look, what she is 240 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: doing and what Don Lemon did are the exact same thing. 241 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: They have contempt for anyone who isn't a leftist, and 242 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: they assume these ridiculous caricatures. So for example, Ben, I'll 243 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: go back to twenty twenty one where Andrea Mitchell again 244 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: tweets out I had commented about the Trump impeachment trial, 245 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: the second trial, and I said it was as Shakespeare 246 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: put it, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. 247 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: Now Andrew Mitchell jumps on Twitter and she tweets the 248 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: following Ted Cruz says, impeachment trial is like Shakespeare, full 249 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: of sound and fury, signifying nothing. No, that's Faulkner. Now 250 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: that's her response. Now she I actually little a little 251 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: bit of time elapsed because Twitter was really wonderful in that, 252 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: and that everyone piled on and pointed out that no, 253 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: you fool, that is in fact from William Shakespeare, from Macbeth. 254 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: Life is a tale tool told by an idiot, full 255 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: of sound and fury and signifying nothing. And Faulkner when 256 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,359 Speaker 1: he wrote the sound and the fury was quoting from Shakespeare. 257 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: So Mitchell, finally, when the entire world padded on her 258 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: how ridiculous she was. She sends out this this sort 259 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: of apology tweet. I clearly studied too much American literature 260 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: and not enough Macbeth. My apologies to Senator Cruz. Now, look, 261 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't care about the fact that she gets this wrong, 262 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: but it reveals a mindset, which is listen, you can 263 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: disagree with me. You think you can think I'm wrong. 264 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: I'm probably wrong about a lot of things in life. 265 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: Certainly my wife and daughters would tell you I am. 266 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: But Mitchell, among all the criticisms, I think it would 267 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: be difficult to make the case that I'm in a 268 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: literate imbecile. I might be misguided, I might be mistaken. 269 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: But but I did manage to pass the third grade. 270 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: And but to Andrea Mitchell's mind, any Republican is an oath, 271 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: is a bigot is an So the sort of her 272 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: ignorant dripping no, that's fuckner. No, my dear, I actually 273 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: have studied literature, and it shows a mindset. And by 274 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: the way, let's go back to Kamala Harris's answer. After 275 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: you see Mitchell's dripping condescension for the state of Florida, 276 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: and notice, by the way, her total loving question for 277 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: Kamala what does Ron de Santis not understand about the 278 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: black experience? Good job, Andrea cutting question, way to put 279 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: put Kamala on defensive, like, please attack one of the 280 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: leading Republican opponents to Joe Biden. Yeah, shooting fish in 281 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: the barrel. And this is what the media does when 282 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,239 Speaker 1: they have these soft interviews. And I love how they 283 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: put up their exclusive right like it's a really big 284 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: get for for Andrew Mitchell with the Vice president and 285 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: then you just hand them these questions when there's real 286 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: pressing matters. This is what they give them. Well and 287 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: being given the please attack the Republican, of course, Kamala 288 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: Harris is more than happy to oblige because look, Andrea 289 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: Mitchell is a leftist. The interview would not have proceeded 290 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: differently if they had the press secretary for the Joe 291 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: Biden for President campaign conducting it. The press secretary would 292 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: ask the same questions Andrea Mitchell would because they both 293 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: have the same objective, which is to get the Democrats reelected. 294 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: Now you look at Kamala's response, where Kamala's like, well, 295 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what he knows or doesn't know. Silly ignorant, 296 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: bigoted Republican. But what I know is nobody should censor teachers. 297 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: Now let me pause for a second and say that 298 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: that actually is an answer. On one level, that sounds well, 299 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: censorship is bad, so gosh, nobody should censor teachers. That 300 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: sounds great. And she says no politician should decide what's 301 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: taught in school. Well, what she's not acknowledging is that 302 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: every public school sets curriculum, and curriculum is set, so 303 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: for example, you choose, are we going to teach arithmetic? 304 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: Are we going to teach history? Are we going to 305 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: teach English? What are the topics that we want to 306 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: set for students to learn in our schools? And the 307 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: irity is when she says no politician should decide what's 308 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: being taught. Kamala Harris adamantly wants. What happened here is 309 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis declined to have Florida schools teach the curriculum 310 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: for the so called AP course in African American Studies. 311 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: That was a hard leftist critical race theory narrative about 312 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: how America's fundamentally and irredeemably racist. It cited numerous Marxist 313 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: authors pushing critical race theory, dividing us on race, indoctrinating, 314 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: And this is one of the things that so often 315 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: today's left does. They're criticizing is what they are trying 316 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: to do. They want teachers to indoctrinate, and Kamala throws 317 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: in teachers and parents. Well, to be honest, she doesn't 318 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: believe in parents because Kamala and Biden and the Democrats 319 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: they don't want parents to have a say. If you 320 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: ask parents, should we be teaching critical race theory in schools, 321 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of parents say no. And by the way, Democrats, 322 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: when it come to critical race theory, they give incoherent answers. 323 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: On one level, they say it's not being taught, it's 324 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: only a college level class. On the other level, they say, 325 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: if you don't teach it, you're a racing slavery from school. Well, 326 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: those are both false statements, but it shows the hard 327 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: ideology of today's Democrat politicians and also the blatant partisanship 328 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: of today's corporate media. And Mitchell did have to come 329 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: out after she was hammered for lying and give a 330 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: quasi apology at the very end of her show, as 331 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: she described as a PostScript, here is the again fake 332 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: apology from another member of the liberal media, and a PostScript. 333 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: In my interview last Friday with Vice President Harris, I 334 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: was imprecise in summarizing Governors to Santas's position about teaching 335 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: slavery in schools. Governor to Santas is not opposed to 336 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: teaching the fact of slavery in schools, but he has 337 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: opposed the teaching of an African American studies curriculum, as 338 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: well as the use of some authors and source materials 339 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: that historians and teachers say makes it all but impossible 340 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: for students to understand the broader historic and political context 341 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 1: behind slavery and it's aftermath in the years since. So 342 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but I'm still right. Is that the new 343 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: apology of the left when you screw up this big Well, 344 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: she just gave Don Lemon's apology. She said it was inartful. No, 345 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: it was false. It was a blatant lie. It was 346 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: an ignorant lie. You're still not correcting the lie. And 347 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: in fact, she says he's opposed to teaching an African 348 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: American studies curriculum because she says, historians say this is 349 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: necessary to understand it, really, which historians. Those would be 350 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: the Marxists that are pushing critical race theory, which I 351 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: don't know that Mitchell claims this, but I'm certain she 352 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: does claim that it's not being taught in schools, except 353 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: now she says it's essential to understand slavery. Once again, 354 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: it's not an apology, it's a non apology because she 355 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: flat outled. She flat out led on air, and she 356 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: didn't care to even bother to know what the facts are. 357 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: And look, this is very similar to the earlier controversy 358 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: in Florida where the media and I don't know Mitchell 359 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: said anything about it, but I bet you did, where 360 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: they attack the Florida law as they don't say gay law. Yeah, 361 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: and it never said that anywhere in there at all. 362 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: What the Florida law essentially said, I said, if you 363 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: want to call it something, the right thing to call 364 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: it is, don't say sex. It prohibited teaching about sexuality 365 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: four grades pre K, kindergarten, first, second and third grade, 366 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: so third graders in below don't say sex. And by 367 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: the way, look, I'm a parent, you're a parent. I 368 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: don't want my kindergartner being taught about gay sex or 369 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: straight sex like I want my kindergartner playing with blocks, 370 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: and I would be deeply dismayed to have the teacher 371 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: getting into sex and sexuality with five year olds. Most 372 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: parents agree with that, By the way, a large majority 373 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: of Florida parents agree with that. And let's be clear, 374 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: the Florida law by fourth grade fourth grade, hey have 375 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: at it, you know apparently you know, play Debbie does 376 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: Dallas and getting anything you want, but wait until they 377 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: get to fourth grade. And so the media was deliberately 378 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: dishonest about that law, just like they're being deliberately dishonest 379 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: saying don't teach about slavery is like don't say gay. 380 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: That is not, in fact what is happening. But remember 381 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: we started this podcast with the premise the media has 382 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: abandoned its mission of actually being journalists and reporting facts. 383 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: Can you imagine Walter Cronkite saying what don Lemon said. 384 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: Can you imagine Walter Cronkite asking that profoundly ignorant and 385 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: dishonest question that Andrea Mitchell said. Can you imagine Tim 386 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: Russert doing that? They're used Can you imagine Ted Copple 387 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: doing that? They're used to be actual journalists who cared 388 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: about getting it right, who cared about not engaging in 389 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: political advocacy, And the Don Lemons of the world and 390 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: the Andrea ChEls of the world have utterly abandoned any 391 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: pretense at journalism. Yeah. Another example of this is in 392 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: the New York Times. We've got new intel on the 393 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: fallout of when one of your colleagues was asked to 394 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: write an op ed and it was total chaos that 395 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: this was given to a sitting US senator. Before I 396 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: tell you that story, I want to talk about our 397 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: good friends. Over to Gusts of Precious Medals.

There was another story this 421 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: week that really pulled back the curtain behind the initial 422 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: freakout over Tom Cotton riding. An op ed at The 423 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: New York Times set the stage for everybody. They may 424 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: have forgotten this story, and then we'll get in the 425 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: nitty gritty of the total anarchy that happened at the 426 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: idea the thought of a sitting uf senor writing an 427 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: OpEd the New York Times. So this was in the 428 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty, and you'll recall there were Antifa 429 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: and Black Lives Matter riots all over the city, all 430 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: over the country. Rather, there were American cities on fire, 431 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: there were riots, there were stores being looted, there were 432 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: police cars being firebombed, there police officers being murdered. And 433 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: during all of this time, Tom Cotton, my colleague, Republican 434 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: senator from Arkansas, wrote an op ed, and in the 435 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: op ed he advocated that the president should send in 436 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: the National Guard to quell the unrest, and he submitted 437 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: the op ed to the New York Times. I don't 438 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: believe they solicited it. I think he just submitted it 439 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: and the New York Times made the decision to publish it. Now. Personally, 440 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: I actually didn't agree with Tom's up ed. I didn't 441 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: think that was the right solution to send in the 442 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: National Guard. I thought it should be handled as a 443 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement matter. I think they should have send in 444 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: police officers and arrested the riders and put them in jail. 445 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: But I didn't think that. I was not persuaded that 446 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: the National Guard was the right avenue for stopping the riots. 447 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: I think the riots should have been stopped using law enforcement. 448 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: Be that as it may, it was a perfectly reasonable 449 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: point of view, and because the New York Times dared 450 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: to acknowledge it exists, there was a meltdown in the newsroom. 451 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: And one of the things that's happened in journalism is 452 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: there are lots of twenty somethings who were basically kids. 453 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: They've come out of universities that were woke a little sanctuaries, 454 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: and they're now working. They're working at places like The 455 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: New York Times, and they have very fragile sensitivities, and 456 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: they freaked out. They freaked out and demanded that the 457 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: editor of the editorial page be fired. Now, who was 458 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: the editor of the editorial page? Guy named James Bennett. 459 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: James Bennett is a down the road left wing Democrat partisan. 460 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: He is unquestionably Democrat. The chances that James Bennett agreed 461 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: with Tom Cotton's op ed I can quantify they were 462 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: zero point zero zero percent. He did not agree with it. 463 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: By the way, James Bennett's brother, Michael Bennett, is a 464 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: sitting Democrat senator from the state of Colorado. He's a 465 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: Democrat through and through well. The children on the New 466 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: York Times staff revolted, and what happened the weak need 467 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: ownership at The New York Times promptly responded by firing Bennett. 468 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: Why for acknowledge for daring to publish the op ed? 469 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,239 Speaker 1: Don't mind you. Nobody would have minded if The New 470 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: York Times wrote an editorial next to the op ed 471 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: and said, we disagree emphatically with the views advocated by 472 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: Senator Cotton. This is a terrible view and it's wrong. 473 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: That's they're right, But the children didn't want that. They 474 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: didn't want even the fact that someone had a different 475 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: view acknowledged. And then there's a new book coming out 476 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: that quotes someone named Charlie Wartzel, who I've never heard of, 477 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: but he is apparently a tech writer. He's a white guy, which, unfortunately, 478 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: in the modern leftist order of things, races is preeminent 479 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: to everything. But this fellow Charlie Wartzel, the tech writer 480 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: started to cry because quote and this is from the 481 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: new book that came out, none of his friends wanted 482 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: to talk to him anymore because he worked for this horrible, 483 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: evil newspaper that would print this op ed. Now, first 484 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: of all, okay, the reporter started to cry, are you serious? 485 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: Are there any journalist left at the New York Times 486 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: the idea you think of hard scrabble journalists. Can you 487 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: imagine Woodward and Bernstein weep being of, oh, you very 488 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: scary thing you publish. My friends won't talk to me. 489 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this sounds like a seventh grader throwing a fit. 490 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of the great movie A League of their Own, 491 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: where where Tom Hanks goes. There's no crying in baseball. 492 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: If you had real journalists, there should be no crying 493 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: among journalists. Look, if JFK is shot, you can cry. 494 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: If Martin Luther King is shot, you can cry. If 495 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: the Challenger Space Shuttle blows up, you can cry. But 496 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: if you read scary words that frighten you and your 497 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: censorious friends are mad at you, a real journalist doesn't 498 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: cry and complain fire the bad man. It is indicative 499 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: of just how broken today's corporate journalist is. Yeah, and 500 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: so people understand this as well. The reason why Tom 501 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: Cotton's letter, I think was probably published is he's a 502 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: former guy that enlisted in the United States Army, and 503 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: so he had a unique perspective on the National Guard. 504 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: Whether you agree with him or not, what he was 505 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: saying in his op ed, it was it completely made 506 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: sense for his op ed to be published based on 507 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: his service in the military, so people also know this 508 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: inside baseball. Back in June two thousand and six, while 509 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: he was stationed Iraq, he actually gained a lot of 510 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: public attention for writing an open letter to the editors 511 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: of the New York Times. So it's not the first 512 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: time he'd written a letter. It's not the first time 513 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: he'd submitted it to The New York Times either, and 514 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: yet he does it, they print it, and then it's 515 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: off with their head. Anyone that actually helped allow this 516 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: to see the light of day, look, it is an 517 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: example of how these are no longer journalists. The fact 518 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: that Republicans exist should not be a triggering event for 519 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: real nalists and these little children that throw fit. By 520 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: the way, the New York Times is a hard partisan 521 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: indoctrination like like, I don't actually understand the value of 522 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: having an editorial page that only carries one view. I 523 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: guess their diversity of opinion, as they have Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, 524 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: but they almost never run views from any conservative, from 525 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: any Republican that The New York Times has to have 526 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: to ask you this, how many times have you submitted 527 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: op eds over I mean your career. It's ten plush 528 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: years in the Senate. But how many times have you 529 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: even ever gotten a chance to submit and knew that? 530 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: Or is it a waste of time? I guess a 531 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: better way of putting it, like, you know they're gonna 532 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: say no to you? Or have you ever had success 533 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: of writing an op ed that has actually been published 534 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: in a liberal newspaper? So I've yes, I've written over 535 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: the last ten years at least dozens, probably hunt of 536 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: op eds. So I like writing op eds. I like 537 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: communicating the same reason I do the podcast, same reason 538 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 1: I write books. I think one of the real responsibilities 539 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: of doing this job is to use the pulpit and 540 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: try to persuade. I've had a lot of op eds 541 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: published in the Wall Street Journal. I've had a lot 542 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: of op eds published in the Houston Chronicle, in the 543 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: Dallas Morning News, have had a lot of op eds 544 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: published in USA Today, have had opeds published in the 545 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: Washington Post. I don't remember. I think the New York 546 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: Times may have published one op ed of mine. I 547 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: don't remember for sure. We submit a lot to the 548 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: New York Times, and they fairly routinely turned me down. 549 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: Now I will tell you what I'm using time when 550 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: when I did make the New York Times editorial pages, 551 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: so they bashed me repeatedly. But one of their left 552 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: leaning editorialists, a guy named Frank Bruney, who had written 553 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: written in The New York Times bashing me over and 554 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: over again. He retired from the New York Times. I 555 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: decided to stop writing, and his farewell column was published 556 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: on June seventeenth, twenty twenty one. And it's a fairly 557 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: remarkable column. And I just pulled it up on my 558 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: phone a second ago. I want to just read you 559 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: the beginning of it. The title of his column is 560 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: Ted Cruise, I'm sorry, And here's how the column begins. 561 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: I owe Ted Cruise an apology, though really it's the 562 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: readers to whom I should say I'm sorry. One day 563 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, when I had a column doing hours 564 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: and couldn't settle on a topic, I took the easy 565 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: root of unloading on Cruise, who was one of the 566 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: many unappealing contenders for the Republican presidential nomination. He was 567 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: fair game for rebuke, no question there. But did I 568 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: illuminate his dark character, enlighten my readers, or advance any 569 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: worthwhile cause by comparing him repeatedly to the unstoppable entity 570 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: in the horror movie. It follows, No, I just swam 571 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: with the snide tide. I did that too often, many 572 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: columns do, And he goes on to talk about how, 573 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: basically in the columns he just wrote hard leftist drivel 574 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: because it was easier to propagandize with all of the 575 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: assumptions of one political side, versus actually being a real 576 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: objective commentator, which sadly the New York Times and much 577 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: of the corporate media has abandoned as a vision for 578 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: what they will do. Yeah, well, you figured it right 579 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: on his last one, though, right, I mean, just you 580 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: do your whole career being a sell out, and you're like, Okay, 581 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: maybe I should have done it a little differently. You 582 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: can't make that up. I want to go. I did 583 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: kind of like that. His twenty fifteen column compared me 584 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: to an evil, malevolent, demonic spirit. I have joked more 585 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: than once. I've made this promise on the campaign trail. 586 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: I've said, listen, if the New York Times ever starts 587 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: praising me, I'm they have to resign. Right then and there, 588 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: and so you know, calling me Beelzebub is probably part 589 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: of the course for the Times. Yeah, and you know what, 590 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing someone's ever said. That's what 591 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: I always revived me that I can't believe so and 592 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: so said something about you, Mike. Trust me, it's not 593 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 1: the worst thing that's ever been said. Just get my 594 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: name right, that's all I care about. You do that, 595 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: and I'm happy to move on one last thing. And 596 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: the media is freaking out over this, and the lefties 597 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: are just losing it. There was a headline also in 598 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: the New York Times, an opinion piece by Brett Stevens, 599 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 1: and the headline reads, the mask mandates did nothing period? 600 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: Will any lessons be learned? Question mark? Before we get 601 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: into this article, we want to tell you about our 602 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: friends over at Chalk.

Chalk q dot com center that 626 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: this opinion piece in The New York Times by Brett 627 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: Stephen was awesome just because the pictures and if you 628 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: look at the pictures, it's all these disgusting masks that 629 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: are on the ground that polluted the country and really 630 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: the world because of the obsession with masks. And now 631 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: we're finding out that the most rigorous and this is 632 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: from this op ed and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies 633 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: conducted on the efficiency of mask for reducing the spread 634 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: of respiratory illnesses including COVID nineteen. It was publishedly last month, 635 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: not a lot of hoop law, and the consensus was 636 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: clear this was basically a total waste of time. There 637 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: was no evidence quote that they mask make any difference, 638 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: is what was said full stop in this and the 639 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: man the left is freaking out over the fact the 640 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: New York Times allowed this to even be published. Well, 641 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: that's exactly right, and I'll tell you that the up 642 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: ed continues after the authors of this story says there's 643 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: just no evidence that they masks make any difference, full stop. 644 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: The OpEd goes on from there to say, but wait, 645 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: hold on, what about ND ninety five masks is opposed 646 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: to lower quality surgical masker or cloth masks, makes no difference, 647 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: none of it, said Jefferson. What about the studies that 648 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates. They were convinced 649 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: by non randomized studies, flawed observational studies. What about the 650 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: utility of masks in conjunction with other preventive measures such 651 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: as hand hygiene and physical distancing or air filtration. There 652 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: is no evidence that many of these things make any difference, 653 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 1: and the op ed continues, these observations don't just come 654 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: from anywhere. Jefferson and eleven colleagues conducted the study for Cochrane, 655 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: a British nonprofit is widely considered the gold standard for 656 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: its reviews of healthcare data. The conclusion were based on 657 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 1: seventy eight randomized controlled trial, six of them done during 658 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic, with a total of six hundred ten 659 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: eight hundred and seventy two participants in multiple countries, and 660 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: they track what has been widely observed in the United States. 661 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: States with mask mandate mandates fared no better against COVID 662 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: than those without. Now, look, you and I were saying 663 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: this a year ago, We were saying this two years ago. 664 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 1: The data were there then, by the way, Fauci said 665 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: it two years ago until he decided it was politically 666 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: more advantageous to flip and order people to wear masks, 667 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: And you are right. It's stunning the Times publish this. 668 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: I do wonder if there is a newsroom of crying 669 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: children screaming that somebody else be fired for daring to 670 00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: publish this. But also, more broadly, there's the accountability. Where's 671 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: Faucci being held accountable? Where's Joe Biden being held accountable? 672 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: Right now today the Biden administration is litigating in federal 673 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: court to have the authority to reinstate the mask mandate 674 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: on airplanes. Now, if this is right, that the data 675 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: show they have zero efficacy, who's going to stand up 676 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: and say I was wrong? Have you heard Joe Biden 677 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: say that Chuck Schumer or Fauci or anyone. These people 678 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: that wrecked our economy, that destroyed millions of children's education, 679 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: that destroyed businesses, that did trillions of dollars of damage. 680 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: These people that decreed that elderly would die alone and 681 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 1: not have their children and grandchildren able to hold their hands, 682 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: have to date born zero responsibility. And even worse, they 683 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: try to gaslight the American people. You have Randy Garden saying, oh, 684 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: we didn't want to shut down schools. It was Republicans 685 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: who shut down schools. It's the absolute brazen hutzpah of 686 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: just inverting reality. And yet you know what, our corporate media, 687 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: the double Standard, liked Don Lemon, everyone who got up 688 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: and lied to you for year after year after year 689 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: liked Don Lemon. Will be back on air, like Andrea Mitchell, 690 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: be back on air, because if you were lying in 691 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: pursuit of leftist ideology, truth and falsity don't matter. Integrity 692 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, standards don't matter. If you are a propagandist, 693 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: if you work at Pravda, which sadly too many of 694 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: our journalists believe they do, then all that matters is 695 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: your politics, and journalism is dead. I couldn't have said 696 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: it better myself, Senator. It was a fun show today 697 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: just to look at this terrible week for the left 698 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: and getting busted over and over again all across a spectrum. 699 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: Don't forget we do the show three days a week. 700 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: Make sure you hit that subscriber auto download button.
