1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: What if we had massive, massive cuts, forced cuts to 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: our budget. What would that mean? What's that look like? 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: Buckle up, let's talk a little budget talk tonight. And 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm right, the national debt. Don't turn off the TV. 5 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: Don't turn off the TV. I'm not going to bore 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: you on my life. Here's the thing. National debt, the debt, spending. 7 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: These are things we don't talk about very much. Oh, 8 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. That language we spend too much 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: is too much spending, the debt. It's always part of 10 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: the right. It's always sprinkled in there somewhere, but we 11 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: don't talk about it that much. I'm just as guilty. 12 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: I have an hour long TV show every night. I'm 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: on the radio nationally for three hours every single night. 14 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: I talk about the debt. Yes, not that much. Why 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't interest you? For the most part, it doesn't 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: interest you. I get that. There's no judgment here. It 17 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: interests me a great deal because I know the stakes. 18 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't interest most people because they don't think about 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: the stakes, and the numbers are so huge. You can't 20 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: care because your mind can't comprehend it. My mind can't 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: comprehend it. Twenty eight trillion dollars national debt. What does 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: that number even mean? Twenty eight trillion is more than 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: you could ever wrap your mind around. All we know 24 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: is wow, that sounds like a lot, right, So we 25 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: don't talk enough about the debt. We should, though, we should, 26 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: because understand what happens at some point, and we're full 27 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: speed ahead. We'll get to this new bill and all 28 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: this in just a second. We're full speed ahead. Understand 29 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: what happens at some point. At some point, you can't 30 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: do it anymore. There's an old saying, and investing trees 31 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: don't grow to the sky. You can't keep doing what 32 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: we're doing here in the United States of America until 33 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: the end of time. Let's all agree on that, okay. 34 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: So now that we're there, you can't do this forever. 35 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: You can't put trillions and unback currency forever. You can't 36 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: spend trillions more than you bring in every year forever. 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: There's an end date on that. All right, fine, I 38 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: think we're all in agreement there. If you're not, you're dumb. 39 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: But there's an end date. Okay, So what's that look like? 40 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: What does end date actually look like? Well, how about 41 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: twenty five percent interest rates are higher. You know what, 42 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: Let's set aside interest rates. Maybe that's something that you 43 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: can't relate to. Let's let's just set interest rates aside. 44 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: What if the Social Security checks stopped coming. What if 45 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: medicare You don't know anyone who uses medicare right, You 46 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: certainly don't, right. What if medicare not acknowledged anymore in hospitals? 47 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: Program is out of money. What if the number one 48 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: superpower in the world US right, What if the number 49 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: one superpower in the world had to take a look 50 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: at its military and say half of you were gone, 51 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: half of these ships gone. What do you think China 52 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: would do if America announced massive cuts to its military. 53 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, I just brought up three big things, 54 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: the little things that would get slashed and burned. You 55 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: want to talk about civil unrest, there would be rioting 56 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: in the streets when you get to that end date, 57 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: whenever that date is. And I don't know, I'm in 58 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: all honesty, nobody knows I have on all these fancy experts. 59 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: They don't know. It will be tomorrow, it will be 60 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 1: a year from now, maybe twenty thirty, forty fifty years 61 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: from now, I don't know. But when you get to 62 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: that date, there's going to be so much pain that 63 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: comes with it. You and I we're going to spend 64 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: a lot of time saying to each other, why didn't 65 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: I care more about the debt? I should have cared 66 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: more about the debt. We didn't talk about the debt. 67 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: So I'll go over a couple of things here. These 68 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: numbers are huge. They'll go right through your mind. They 69 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: went right through mine. There's no judgement you, I get it. 70 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: They're huge. But just understand this. This has an end date, 71 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: and it hurts. Now good news and bad news. Kind 72 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: of good news is Democrats were trying from some absurd 73 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollars bill and this bill had 74 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: everything they ever wanted in it, I mean had everything 75 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: they ever wanted in and they just tried to stuff 76 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: it all in one massive reconciliation bill and pass it through, 77 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: which would be bleek, corrupt. But that's what they did 78 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: for Obamacare. They were going to try it again. Kristen 79 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: cinema Democrat out of Arizona, and Joe Manchin were actually 80 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: two who stepped up and said wait a minute, no, no, 81 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: we can't do that. That's too far. So I can't 82 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: believe I'm saying these words, but praise God for kristin cinema. 83 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: That's one. Two. That thing had amnesty for illegal immigrants 84 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: in it. Murrad just said I had had everything they 85 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: ever wanted. Well, why do you think that border has 86 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: been so open? Starting to understand now, million new Democrats 87 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't have hurt their chances for twenty twenty two and 88 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, would it? Anyway? Moving on, that's the 89 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: good news. Good news is we stopped the big, bad one. 90 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: The bad news is didn't stop them all. And of course, 91 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: with Republican help, Democrats get an infrastructure build through nine 92 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three billion dollars infrastructure bill. It's a 93 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: big one. It's not funded at all. It includes five 94 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion in brand new spending. And here's 95 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: the thing. I know what you're saying right now with 96 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: Jesse hah. That's that's a lot of money. But maybe 97 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: it's worth it, maybe we need it. What's in it? Oh? 98 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. And here's the thing. The people who 99 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: voted for it don't know either. I'm not making this up. 100 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: They voted for a bill basically saying we're gonna pass 101 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: a bill. Oh, there are some outlines of a couple 102 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: of little things in here, I'll go over in a second. 103 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: But for the most part, we have people Democrats and 104 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Republicans voting to spend a trillion dollars of your and 105 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: my money and they don't even know what's in it. Why. 106 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a moment. Of course, you 107 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: have nutballs like AOC. They're putting content out on social media. 108 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: Cory Bush did the same thing, putting out a pick 109 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: sure of all the people who really put together the bill, 110 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: and they're all white, and of course they're making it 111 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: out to be some white thing and it's a racist bill. 112 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: And you know, let's all we'll take a minute and 113 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: laugh at AOC, because who doesn't need to brighten their 114 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: day by laughing at AOC. But anyway, seventeen Republicans, Mitch McConnell, 115 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, all the 116 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: usual suspects. I'm not going to read you the entire list. 117 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: You can see the whole thing right there. Now, what's 118 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: in it? Again? Let me let me reiterate, we don't 119 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: really know. We do know there are a couple of 120 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: high points. They're going to fill in the blanks on one, 121 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: one hundred forty four billion for climate policies like clean 122 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: energy transmission and racial alleged disparities, and in the environmental pollution. 123 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: I love this part. Ten billion for electric vehicles, sixty 124 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: six billion to address amtracks backlog. I just want to 125 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: clarify something about Amtrak really quickly. Here amtracks back sixty 126 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: six billion. What's any of this mean? Well, you know 127 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 1: amtracks the trains right. Amtrak has been hemorrhaging money forever. 128 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: It's not a profitable business. Government knows this. What's government solution? 129 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: Get rid of it, reform it. No, no, no no, 130 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: They take sixty six billion dollars of your money and 131 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: they just chuck it at the problem. These people have 132 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: no concept and no care for our money at all. Now, 133 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: before I go on to one other thing, allowing me 134 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: to explain this bill, this fill in the blank spill, 135 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: here's what happens when they passed these massive bills. They 136 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: pass the bill and then and look, this is not 137 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: in the movies. This is really what happens. They pass 138 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: the bill, and then all these senators and congressmen. They 139 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: all start horse trading with the money in the bill. 140 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: There's nobody and I can't stress this enough. There's nobody 141 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: sitting down with a grand master plan saying this is 142 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: really what America needs. We need a new highway here, 143 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: we really need a new bridge there. We need to 144 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: get that person doesn't exist. All these people sit down 145 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: with a gigantic pile of your money and they just decide, 146 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: all right, Nancy gets a hundred right, all right, Nancy, 147 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: go ahead, build that in your town. That'll help your reelection. 148 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: Hey Bob, Bob, how much you need? All right now, 149 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: we can't keep you that much. We'll give you this much, 150 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: right thought much as for Bob. They just sit down 151 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: with huge piles of our money and hand it out 152 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: trying to buy votes. That's all these people do. A 153 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: completely broken, scummy, corrupt government. It's terrible. That's okay. We 154 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: have the money, right, what's the big deal. We just 155 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: have piles of it in Fort Knox or somewhere. Well, 156 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: here's Jerome Powe. Inflation has increased notably and will likely 157 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: remain elevated in coming months before moderating as the economy 158 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: continues to reopen and spending rebounds. We are upward pressure 159 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: on prices, particularly because supply bottlenecks in some sectors have 160 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: limited how quickly production can respond in the near term. Okay, 161 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: so let's see, we have supply bottlenecks, we have inflation. 162 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: Now we have more inflation coming. What's inflation again, by 163 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: the way, it's well, it's what you get when you 164 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: devalue your currency by printing trillions of it you don't have. 165 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: And our response to all of this is spend more. Lastly, 166 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna like this, but I'm sorry, I 167 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: have to say it. President Trump came out and released 168 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: a statement bashing the Republicans who passed the bill quote 169 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: under the week leadership of Mitch McConnell, Senate Republicans continue 170 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: to lose. He lost Arizona, he lost Georgia, he ignored 171 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: election fraud, and he doesn't fight now. He's giving Democrats 172 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: everything they want and getting nothing in return. No deal 173 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: is better than a bad deal. Fight for America, not 174 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: for radicals, special or not for special interests. And radical 175 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: democrats rhinos are ruining America right alongside communist Democrats. I mean, 176 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: he's he's right, he is, and I know this is 177 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: gonna hurt, but let's be honest. Donald Trump was terrible 178 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: when it comes to spending and swampy bills. And you know, 179 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: I've been a fan of his presidency foreign policy, maybe 180 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: the best president ever. I mean that, loved how he did, 181 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: how he handled regulations, Loved his presidency. Donald Trump his spending, 182 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: the bills he signed it was worse than Obama. And 183 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: every time Donald Trump signed one, he'd get up to 184 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: the microphone and said, this is ridiculous, I won't do 185 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: it again. And he did it again every single time. 186 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: It seems the only Republicans who care about spending are 187 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: the ones who were already out of office. Maybe that's 188 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: not fair, though. We did get a decent group of 189 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: senators here, Rick Scott, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Ted Cruise, 190 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: Josh Holly, Marshall Blackburn, Mike Braun. They released a statement quote, 191 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: Congress can't keep spending trillions of dollars. We don't have. 192 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: The infrastructure package announced today continues the trend in Congress 193 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: of insane deficit spending. Let's not forget this is the 194 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: first step in the Democrats plan to pass their five 195 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: point five trillion dollars tax and spend liberal wish list. 196 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Our nation is facing nearly thirty trillion dollar federal debt crisis. 197 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: There are real infrastructure needs across the country, but with 198 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: growing inflation, many families struggling to financial recovering from the 199 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: events of last year, it's not wise to throw fuel 200 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: on the fire that is the raging inflation crisis and 201 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: labor shortage we are seeing across the America. Now, that 202 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: was a lot of political words, but the truth is 203 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: crisis is the right way to describe it. So again, 204 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: back to what I said at the very beginning of 205 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: the show, Understand there is an end date to this 206 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: spending money like it's going out of style.

The Delta variant isn't making kids any sick? 234 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Or is it? We don't have any evidence that is 235 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: doing so. And that's really great news. But I do 236 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: want to emphasize in and I know all of the data, 237 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: and it is so true that all of the data 238 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: say the kids do better than the adults. Hold on, 239 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry what I swear? She just said, Delta isn't 240 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: making kids sicker. Okay, well, that's good news. Obviously we 241 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: don't want kids getting sick. Then why are they also 242 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: saying all kids K through twelve vaccinated or not wear masks? Why? Well, 243 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sorry. I shouldn't even be asking 244 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: those questions. After all, I'm just a dude. I went 245 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: to community college. They didn't even graduate. Who am I 246 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: to question the Center for Disease Control. I'm sure if 247 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: they're issuing guidelines that says mask your kid, I'm sure 248 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: this is really sciency and medically right. They're really smart 249 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: people with a bunch of degrees on the wall and stuff. 250 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: They've looked into all this. They wouldn't just do this 251 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: on a whim. Oh maybe they did. Daily Caller, they 252 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: discovered the study the CDC used to justify the new 253 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: mass guidance was rejected by peer review and was based 254 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: on a vaccine that is not even used in the 255 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: United States of America. Are you starting to see yet, 256 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: are you starting to understand the game? The game is 257 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: not that this has anything to do with coronavirus. These 258 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: people don't care about coronavirus. These people don't care about you. 259 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: They don't care about death, they don't care about any 260 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: of that. This is all about power and control. You 261 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: should have accepted it in the very beginning when they 262 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: told you to go home for fifteen days. Fine you didn't. 263 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: If you're a little late to the party, fine, welcome 264 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: in anyway. This stopped being about coronavirus about fifteen minutes 265 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: after it reached our shores. We have a laundry list 266 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: of problems plaguing this country. We have the Speaker of 267 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: the House, Nancy Pelosi, though, deciding staff and visitors who 268 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: have to be arrested by the Capitol police if they 269 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: don't put on masks. What's the science behind that? There 270 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: is none. Nancy Pelosi doesn't sit there. Who knows what 271 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: she's I don't even want to know what horrible things 272 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: she probably does. Nancy Pelosi doesn't sit there juggling skulls 273 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: behind her desk, deciding what's best for you. Do you 274 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: think that hag has ever spent thirty seconds worrying about 275 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: what's best for you? She gets off on the power. 276 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: I was happy to see Representative Chip Roy go off 277 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: on this on the Congress floor. Man, it was good. 278 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: And the American people are fed up. They want to 279 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: go back to life, They want to go back to business, 280 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: They want to go back to school without their children 281 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: being forced to wear masks, to be put in the corner, 282 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: to have mental health issues. And we're running around here 283 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: and the speaker comes down here at ten o'clock in 284 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: the morning saying we got to wear masks in the 285 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: people's house while we've got thousands of people pouring across 286 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: our border and Democrats don't do it, aren't thing about it. 287 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,959 Speaker 1: Heavily infected with COVID. We have the New York Times. Okay, today, 288 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: what a mess CDC about to reverse on indoor masking 289 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: for the vaccinated quote unquote. This is some serious nanny 290 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: state stuff that will only breed resentment. No kidding, consider 291 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: resentment being magnified right here in the floor of the 292 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: House of Representatives. We are absolutely sick and tired of it, 293 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: and so are the American people. This sham of an 294 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: institution is doing nothing for the American people. Which is 295 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: it vaccines or masks? The vaccines work or they don't work. 296 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: Do the masks works or they don't work. I'd like 297 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: to know which it is. I'd like doctor Fauci to 298 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: come down and answer a single question about natural immunity. 299 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: Have you've been infected with a virus? Do you have immunity? 300 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: Or are they just gonna go around poking people saying 301 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: you must take a vaccine. Oh but sorry, the vaccine 302 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: doesn't work. You must wear a mask. This institution is 303 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: a sham and we should adjourn it. Shut this place down. 304 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: That gone chip go off son.

He is the 329 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: founder of Patriot Academy dot com. Is also a former 330 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: Texas State Rep. I love that woman, Rick. I can't 331 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: help but she's so unlikable and nasty, and yet she's 332 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: been Speaker of the House for like eighteen years. I 333 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: just find it to be so fascinating. I guess you 334 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: would think that if that's the face of the Democrat Party, 335 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party would be no more. I mean, it is. 336 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: It is shocking, but yeah, I love her as long 337 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: as I can watch her and make a fool of 338 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: herself and the American people. The last thing, you know, 339 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 1: we saw was her kneeling with the mask on and 340 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: giving homage to whatever African tribe she thought would get 341 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: her more votes. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi, gotta love her. Rick, 342 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: the masks stuff. I've tried to explain to people, this 343 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: is never going to end. People have told me throughout 344 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: this pandemic. Of course it is. It'll end when this 345 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: after fifteen days, it'll unvaccination, It'll end this it or 346 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: end not to the election. And I'm telling people, Rick, 347 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: it's never going to end. Until people just stopped complying. 348 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: There's not going to be a time where they get 349 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: sick of this. Yeah, you nailed it, man. I mean, look, 350 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: let's go back to March of twenty twenty. I mean, 351 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: everybody's finally asking the question, what does government actually have 352 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: the power to make us do well? Back in March 353 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, we started asking those questions when Gavin 354 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: Newsom dropped the first statewide stay at home order in 355 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: the history of America. And then all of a sudden 356 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: Republican and Democrat governors alike started following him. I mean 357 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: they fell like dominoes, including my own dictator in chief, 358 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott of Texas, who actually said, get this, Jesse. 359 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: He said in his executive order that he had the 360 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: power to control the ingress and egress of every living 361 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: human being in Texas. Now, if that is not an 362 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: exaggerated abuse of power, I don't know what is. That 363 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: is tyranny, and it's happening from Republican and Democrat alike. 364 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: Whether it's the shutdowns, whether it's the mass the vaccines. 365 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: They are using public health to violate our constitutional rights 366 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: and completely eviscerate them. I can't think of a part 367 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: of the Bill of Rights that has not been violated 368 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: in the last year and a half. And also that 369 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: the courts have not defended. They have also failed us 370 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: by not defending our constitutional rights. Okay, look one, we'll 371 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: get back to great Abbot in a minute. But I'm 372 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: glad you brought up the courts here, Rick. I don't 373 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: want to be too pessimistic. I always trying to be realistic, 374 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: but not bring everybody down. You're right, the courts left 375 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: us high and dry. Who's left Bud, I'm sorry. Look, 376 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking around. Looks like we're running out of friends here. No, man, 377 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: I'm like you. I'm not usually pessimistic, and back in 378 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: March and April my tune was a little different. I 379 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: was saying, Okay, we're gonna give them a little bit 380 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: of leeway here, but we've got to clamp down quick. 381 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: We can't let this thing get out of hand. Seventeen 382 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: months later, I mean, I'm at the point where I'm 383 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: saying civil disobedience is the only solution. At this point, 384 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: we have to say no, hell no, we're not gonna 385 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: do it. And it's got to be not just us 386 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: the citizens. That's got to be state legislators. That's got 387 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: to be mayors and sheriffs and county commissioners on the 388 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: local level that are willing to say, not in our backyard. 389 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: You're not gonna bring this tyranny and our community anymore. 390 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: That's what it's going to take to shut this thing down. Rick. 391 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: You brought up Greg Abbott, and obviously Texas matters a 392 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: lot to all America. It really matters if you're on 393 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: the right, and yeah, Greg Gabbott absolutely sucked during this 394 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: pandemic and he's not alone. There were plenty of Republican 395 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: governors who sucked as well. Frankly, there were plenty of 396 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: Republican senators and congressmen, and honestly, Trump wasn't very good, 397 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: especially in the beginning of it. Why did Republicans fall 398 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: for this thing so quickly? You know? Man? I mean 399 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: they always tell us personally that when we face crisis, 400 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: it reveals our character, doesn't just build our character, reveals 401 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: our character. I think the same is true for culture, 402 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: society and elected officials. They face crisis and then you 403 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: find out what they really believe, what are their core principles. 404 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: And to be honest, Republicans, for the most part, are 405 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: morally bankrupt. Not as bad as Democrats. Okay, let's not 406 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: put them on the same page. But there's not enough 407 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: Republican leaders that actually governed from a place of principle 408 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: where they actually say, hey, here's what the Declaration of 409 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: the Constitution says, here's what I believe. We're a constitutional republic, 410 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: not some democracy or not some republic where we just 411 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: elect people to do anything they want. I'm willing to 412 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: be bound by the words on the paper. An actual 413 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: constitutional republic. There's so few of those right now because 414 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: we stopped teaching that stuff fifty years ago. So it's 415 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: really revealed the fact that people like Greg Abbott do 416 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: not have the core principles, the constitutional convictions to take 417 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: on the tough fights. And he cared more about the 418 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: national polls because he thought he was going to run 419 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: for president. I'm hoping that getting zero percent at Sepack 420 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: twice in a row has disavowed him of that. And 421 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: you'll notice he's now governing far more conservative thanks to 422 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: Alan West and Don Huffins for running against him. But man, 423 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: I think it just reveals where we are in the 424 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: vacuum of leadership in America. Why the disconnect between Republican 425 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: leadership and the Republican voting base. Because it's not just 426 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: the DC things. She just brought up Greg Abbott, Greg 427 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: Abbitt is an in DC. Any one of them leave 428 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: the people who leave this party. Always for decades, it's 429 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: been like this seems so disconnected from the people who 430 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: make up their voting base, almost like they hate them 431 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, man, it's like a it's like an 432 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: abusive parent or something. I mean, it's an awful situation. 433 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: We've dealt with it. For years, you know, But I 434 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: gotta say it does come back to us as individuals, 435 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, like I was saying, it reveals the you know, 436 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: the character or the cracks in the foundation. I mean, 437 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: the reason we're in the mess we're in. Whether it's 438 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: the COVID crackdowns, whether it's the Marxist BLM movement that 439 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: we allowed to take place across our country. What's really 440 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: the problem underneath is civic ignorance. That's the problem that 441 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: has been festering for decades, and so we don't know 442 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: our rights. Therefore we don't perceive when they've been violated, 443 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: and we don't defend an assert them. That's John Jay 444 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: first Chief Justice the United States Supreme Court, and that's 445 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: where we are. We've got to individually get back to 446 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: studying first principles and understanding what actually produces a free 447 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: society so that we can better form our own communities, 448 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: our neighborhoods, and then at some point our states and 449 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: our nation. But man, we've got to come back to 450 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: understanding what actually produces a good society, and we are 451 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: civically ignorant right now. The good news is Tom Jipping says, 452 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: ignorance is curable, so we can solve that if we'll 453 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: just start getting back to learning these things and then 454 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: getting the trenches, which I'm fond of you saying, We've 455 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: got to realize what we're up against right now. This 456 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: is not some high school debate. Man, We're in a 457 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: culture war right now. But left they've been in the 458 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: trenches for decades. They've been scratching and clawing, and that's 459 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: why they're winning. We've been playing titterly winks and acting 460 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: like we're in some high school debate, and that's why 461 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: we're losing. We've got to get in the fight and 462 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: the stakes are high. Watch this video from the head 463 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: of the Teachers Union. I know you'll enjoy. This has 464 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: really thrown this curve ball that says that while vaccinise 465 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: vaccination is the number one gold standard, that we need to, 466 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, bring back our masks for schools. So the 467 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: bottom line is we're gonna keep kids safe, We're going 468 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: to keep our members safe, and we're going to try 469 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: to open up schools and we're going to try to 470 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: move through this politable battlefield. Rick, is it bad that 471 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: I love it that the head of the Teachers Union 472 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: is absolutely detestable. The fewer kids in government schools, the 473 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: better off we are, no doubt about it. Man. I 474 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: think homeschooling, if I saw it right, has tripled since 475 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: the whole pandemic. I mean, people are realizing just what 476 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: a poison is happening at our public schools and how 477 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: that's been poured into the minds of our kids now 478 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: for decades, and so more and more people are homeschooling, 479 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: going to private schooling, and even better, not better than that. 480 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: But as a part of that, parents are taking on 481 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: their school boards like never before, not only going and testifying, 482 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: but running against them and taking over the school boards 483 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: to stop this nonsense. So yeah, I'm with you on that. 484 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: The more they get out of the public schools, the better. 485 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: But then I also think we got to keep pushing 486 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: to influence those public schools as long as you know 487 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: eighty percent of the kids are going to end up 488 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: going there. But just listen to the nonsense as she's 489 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: talking about that. I mean, the CDC continues to confuse everybody. 490 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: I think it was Emma Woodhouse the other day on 491 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Twitter said, let me get to make sure I get 492 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 1: this right. The masked and unmasked vaccinated folks and the 493 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: masked and unmasked non vaccinated folks are spreading the virus 494 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: too masked and unmasked vaccinated folks and to mass and 495 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: unmasked und I mean, that's where we're at at this point. 496 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: That's essentially what the CDC is saying. They failed at 497 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: every step of the way. That's why they shouldn't even 498 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: be in this mass. CDC should have no say over 499 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: your personal healthcare decisions. They have no constitutional authority. I mean, well, 500 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: I guess there is that Article one, section twelve part 501 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: that says that the Congress can create an agency that 502 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: can then make law for all Americans with regard to 503 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: that said no constitutional scholar ever, because it doesn't exist. 504 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: They don't have the constitutional power to do this. And 505 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: we've got to wake people up to realize that I 506 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: will never let the CDC tell me how I can 507 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: celebrate July fourth, whether or not I can get together 508 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: with my family for things Thanksgiving, whether or not I 509 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: take a shot, and whether or not I wear a mask. 510 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: It's just fifteen days as slow to spread. Rick, I 511 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: don't know what's your problem is, all right, Rick? What 512 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: is Patriot Academy dot Com? Explain it please. Well, we 513 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: don't do math at Patriot Academy dot com, but maybe 514 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: we should because fifteen days has become seventeen months. But listen, man, 515 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: we're all about teaching other people to defend and preserve liberty, 516 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: to appreciate their rights. We started as a youth leadership 517 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: program sixteen to twenty five year olds when I was 518 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: a state Rep. I'd bring them into the state capitol 519 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,719 Speaker 1: and we do a mock legislative session and teach them 520 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: founding Father's philosophy and the Constitution. But now we're doing 521 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: our Constitution Coach program all across the nation. We have 522 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: eight thousand Constitution coaches hosting our classes in their living rooms, 523 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: at their churches, at their local library, wherever they can, 524 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: and people are studying the Constitution and learning their rights 525 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: and then defending and asserting those rights. Rick Green, thank you. 526 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: My brother was outstanding. Thanks Jesse, appreciate it. Allow me 527 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: to just encourage everybody to Patriot Academy dot com. Absolutely 528 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: worth it. You're looking for resources out there, you want 529 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: to learn more, you want to teach your kids more. 530 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: It's outstanding Patriot Academy dot com. All right, that's enough 531 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: of that. Let's talk to a former age Indiana. These 532 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: DA's what hang them? Attorney General DA. You don't care 533 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: who these people are. You don't care enough who these 534 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: people are. You probably know your senator, you probably know 535 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: your congressman. Everybody knows the president. But the people who 536 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: are deciding which laws they will and will not enforce, 537 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: those are the races that matter, and they're the ones 538 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: the left has been all over. Joining me now to 539 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: talk about that and other things is Curtis Hill, a 540 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: former AG of Indiana. Curtis, why don't people take enough 541 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: care into ago into DA? I mean, you were Attorney 542 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: General of Indiana. That's a really big deal. I bet 543 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: you can walk through them all without getting recognized. Well, 544 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: not too much, but maybe so. I think people need 545 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: to pay more attention, especially today, because das have a 546 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: lot of power, and rightfully so. It is. It's a 547 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: unique position where you make a determination of accountability, and 548 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: what we need in America is accountability. But what's been 549 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: happening in the last several years has been alarming because 550 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: we've had das who have openly, particularly in big cities, 551 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: openly determined that they're going to decide what laws to 552 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: avoid or what laws to not hold people to accountable before, 553 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: And we're seeing this in our major cities and all 554 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: over the country, and it's resulting in an uptick in 555 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: crime and lawlessness all over the place. Curtis. I'll get 556 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: into some of the details on the crime in a minute, 557 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: but I do want to ask, because you brought it up. 558 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: When I tell people this and when it comes across 559 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: the news, this DA is not going to prosecute this person, 560 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: They're not going to prosecute that person. I get this 561 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: a lot from people. They email me and see Jesse, 562 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: how can that be legal? Or how are they allowed 563 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 1: to do that? Curtis? How are they allowed to do that? Well, 564 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: they're not, I mean, but I want to be I 565 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: want to be clear. There's a thing called prosecutorial discretion 566 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: that allows a prosecutor to review a particular case to 567 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: make a determination within the evidence and the facts of 568 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: that case, of how to proceed, and all prosecutors have 569 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: that discretion, and I believe in that you need to 570 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: have discretion on how to move forward in an individual 571 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: or particular case that's different than what's happening now. What's 572 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: happening now, our prosecutors are running for office on the 573 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: mantle of I'm not going to proceed on a whole 574 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: variety of laws, whether it's I'm I'm not going to 575 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: prosecute prostitution or drug crimes or particular crimes that I 576 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: don't like. Well, that invades the province of the general 577 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: assemblies in the States, and that's a no no. That's 578 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: the area of legislation where the people who are closest 579 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: to the legislature they make that determination of how to proceed. 580 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: Prosecutors do not have the right to veto the law. 581 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: You brought up the cities earlier, and I'll tell you 582 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: and this frustrates me when I read stats like this Minnesota, 583 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: everyone remember has been Mineapolis. They were the whole beginning 584 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: of that Black Lives Matter thing. They released their crime 585 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: report for twenty twenty. The numbers are just they're unbelievable. 586 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: They were fifty eight percent increase in murders, fifty eight percent, 587 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: sixty two percent increase in officers assaulted on the job, 588 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: fifty four percent increase in artison, fifty five percent increase 589 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: in the value of property stolen. Curtis, How could people 590 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: not have seen this coming? Where were they? I mean, yeah, 591 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: everyone everyone realizes that today, Wow, defund the police is 592 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: probably a bad idea. Where were the same voices back 593 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: when the hysteria was getting turned up to a thousand degrees. Well, 594 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Jesse, I was one of those 595 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: same voices, because I was writing articles about just that, 596 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: be careful what you ask for, Sea ADDLEB. Be careful 597 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: what you ask for Minneapolis. If you don't want the police, 598 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: guess what. The police will stand down and crime will 599 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: move in. You need the police to block these these 600 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: avenues of crime. So it was very predictable of what 601 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: was happening, and we're seeing the fruits of that effort. Today. 602 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: Crime is spy all over the place, primarily because we 603 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: had areas that said they didn't want police officers. Then 604 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: they treat police officers horribly. When we saw the riding 605 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: last summer, we saw chiefs of police that were told 606 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: to stand down by their officials. Stand down, let the 607 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: riding happen, Let the looting happen. A base lawlessness that 608 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: has encouraged this type of behavior. Now, the murder rates up, 609 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: the violent crime rates up, you know, Jesse, For years 610 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: we saw a downtick in the murder rate in this 611 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: country a thirty year low, fifty percent reduction in homicide. 612 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: And what were people complaining about that we had mass incarceration, 613 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: we had too many people in jail. Well, what they 614 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: don't realize, Jesse, is that the vast majority of crime 615 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 1: in this country is occurs by a very small number 616 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: of people. And if you could effectively deal with that 617 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: number of people, I lock up the multiple offenders and 618 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: the repeat offenders, you're going to reduce crime and increase 619 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: public safe Okay, if let's dwell on what you talked 620 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: about before, for just a moment, they were at a 621 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: thirty year low. We had these murders down. Why why 622 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: were they down? What were we doing right? We know 623 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: what we're doing wrong. Now we'll get back to that. 624 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: What were we doing right? Before we got tough on crime? 625 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: From nineteen seventies to the early nineteen nineties, crime was 626 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: out of control. And so what happened We started putting 627 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: legislation three strikes, you're out. We started targeting multiple offenders 628 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: of the vast majority of crimes or repeat offenders. So 629 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: if you hit people with habitual offenders statutes and your 630 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: firm on that, you're going to do the job, we 631 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: locked more people up. So, yes, we filled up our 632 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: prisons during that period of time. But by filling up 633 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: our prisons, we looked to see the murder rate went 634 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: down fifty percent over thirty year period, rape and violent 635 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: crime went down thirty to forty during that time period. 636 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: What that means is we had the right people in jail, 637 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: the people who were causing the problems. And then we've 638 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: gone through this cycle where people have said, oh, we 639 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: had the wrong people in jail, too many people in jail. 640 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: We've got to let this person out. We got to 641 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: let that person out without regard to whether or not 642 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: they have earned the right to have to be back 643 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: out on the street. And the result of that has 644 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: been an effort to allow more people who commit crimes 645 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: to be free. Where are we going wrong when it 646 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: comes to our prison system? Or are we going wrong? 647 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: Are we doing it right? Should it be more harsh, 648 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: should it be nic or should it well? Where are 649 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: we going wrong with it? Well? We had it right. 650 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: We want to We want to be particular about who 651 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: goes to prison. Not everyone needs to go to jail. 652 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: Certainly first defenders, we want to give them consideration. We 653 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: want to give people a second chance. But when we 654 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: have people who have first chance, second chance, third chance, 655 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: fourth chance, at some point we draw the line. In 656 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: the nineties we said three strikes. That makes sense to me. 657 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: You have three felonies, we think with you on the 658 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: first one, we dink with you with a second. When 659 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: you get a thorough boom, you're gone, bye bye. That's 660 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: how we have to approach these things. We want to 661 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: be fair, we want to be firm, we want to 662 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: be thorough. We want to make sure the right people 663 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: are in prison, but we need to hold people accountable, 664 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: to keep people safe and to keep our environments fresh. 665 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: Question about the future of policing because I saw this 666 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: the DC's mayor, Muriel Bowser. They just requested one hundred 667 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: and seventy additional officers. Well, they already cut their police 668 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: budget massively, and we're seeing other cities trying to do 669 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: this now too. I guess we need some more cops. 670 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: My question, Curtis is, if you're a cop, especially if 671 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: you're a talented cop, but we want smart, talented cops, 672 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: why in the world would you go back? Why would 673 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: you buy this? If I was a cop, I'd be 674 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: moving to the Florida or Texas suburbs, and I'd be 675 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: a cop out there. Why would I ever be a 676 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: cop in DC? Now, it's a real, real problem, Jesse. 677 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: We take police officers, we give them a badge, we 678 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: give them a gun, and we give them the authority 679 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: to protect us, and we say, you may have to 680 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: put your life on the line to do so. And 681 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: then when they make decisions that are split decisions, very 682 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: difficult decisions, life and death decisions that in fact involved 683 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: their mental health and impact their families, we don't stand 684 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: behind them. Sure, police officers make mistakes. Some police officers 685 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: go over the line, and when they do, we need 686 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: to act decisively. But we need to be in a 687 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: position to recognize that police buy and large in this 688 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: country do a phenomenal job of keeping us safe against 689 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: all odds, and overreacting and assessing that all police officers 690 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,280 Speaker 1: should be painted with the same broad stroke is absolutely ridiculous. 691 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: And in twenty nineteen we had Americans got the three 692 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million people in this country, and we 693 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: had a thousand civilians who were shot by police. The 694 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: vast majority of those were justified shootings. Three hundred and 695 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: thirty million people, a little over a thousand shootings justifiable. 696 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: We have to look at the statistics and say the 697 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: police are doing their jobs making sure that when a 698 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: bad apple takes place, we concentrate on the bad act 699 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: of that particular officer. But we have to support our police. 700 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: We have to make sure that they're defended, that they 701 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: understand and are protected from lawsuits from from all the 702 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: type of acrimony that they're been receiving. Because you're right, 703 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: why would somebody want to be a police officer under 704 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: these circumstances? I want to play this video really quickly, Curtis. 705 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: This is Chicago Police Superintendent day Brown. Ask the courts, 706 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 1: while are you releasing violent people, dangerous people that Chicago 707 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: police officers arrest and charge back into these communities to 708 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: create this environment of lawlessness that we're seeing here. See 709 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: the people being charged with unlawful use of a gun 710 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: BYO felon, aggravated use of a gun by fem being 711 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: released back into these communities the same day they are arrested. 712 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: That should be a headline in this city. And it's 713 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: not absolutely right. What's wrong? What's wrong with Chicago? I mean, 714 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,919 Speaker 1: this isn't even a recent development. This is It's been 715 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,479 Speaker 1: for years and years and years. It's always Chicago, Chicago murder, 716 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: Chicago shootings. Is it because it's a central drug hub 717 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: for the country, Well, what is it? Why does Chicago 718 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: have such a problem. Chicago has for years been operating 719 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: under under a different set of circumstance or a different system. 720 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: I respect the police choose position. They're making a rest, 721 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: but they're not taking it seriously. Through the court system. 722 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: The DA takes a position that we're not going to 723 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: prosecute certain offenses. We're going to allow people to go 724 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: through to come out of jail. They're using the criminal 725 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: justice system as a social justice experiment on how to 726 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: correct some of the problems and ills that we have 727 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: in this country. Look, America has lots of issues that 728 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: need to be addressed, particularly on racial issues and other forefronts, 729 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,760 Speaker 1: but you don't do it through the criminal justice system itself. 730 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: You hold people accountable for their offenses. Chicago has one 731 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: of the highest murder rates. You know, they're supposed to 732 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: be They're a sound where you're not supposed to be 733 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: able to carry a gun, and yet you can get 734 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 1: guns anywhere in Chicago. I particularly if you're a bad guy. 735 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: It's a very dangerous place to be Curtis, thank you 736 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: so much. That was outstanding. Thank you, Jesse. You take 737 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: care of yourself. All right, it's time to lighten the mood. 738 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: We're going to Thailand. There was a big monkey fight. 739 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: It was sweet. Hang on, all right, it's time to 740 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: lighten the mood. You know. I've been to Thailand. I 741 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: was in the Marine Corps a long time ago. Don't 742 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: worry about it. About thirty pounds ago. I was in 743 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps and we had to go to Thailand 744 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: at one point to do a bunch of jungle warfare training. 745 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: But one thing that is crazy about Thailand, and there's 746 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: a lot that's crazy about Thailand, but one thing that's 747 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: nuts about the place is the wildlife. I mean, it's 748 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: like you feel like you're in an Indiana Jones movie. 749 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: You'll be riding into town and you'll just be passing 750 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: people who are riding on elephants. Elephants just riding elephants 751 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: right down the road. And the monkeys, the monkeys are everywhere, 752 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: absolutely everywhere. This video came out apparently this took place 753 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: in Bangkok. Well, there's been a food shortage and the 754 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,479 Speaker 1: monkeys live off of all the food they jack off 755 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: of trash cans. They'll steal food right off your table 756 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: if you're not afraid, and they can get really aggressive. 757 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,280 Speaker 1: And monkeys oftentimes will be in their own little clans, 758 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: their own little groups. So this video came out, I 759 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: just wanted to show it to you. That is what 760 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: you see. That is about a thousand monkeys and a 761 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: brawl in the middle of the street of Thailand. At 762 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: one point during this fight, they just take over this 763 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 1: one poor SAPs blue car. It just has to leave anyway. 764 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: I don't know why that lightened the mood at all, 765 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: but I thought it was fascinating. I'll see them all
