1 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It turns out there was already DEI in the FAA 2 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: during the Obama years. Who would have thought can the 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: United States deport someone who they don't like if they're 4 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: just here on a visa or a green card? Well, 5 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: some legality says yeah, I think we can. Also, the 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: LA Mayor has deleted a bunch of her texts when 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: the media is asking for them. All that more coming 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: up on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: is Jobob and together we are charting the course of 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: America's cultural comeback. Thanks so much for tuning in. This 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: is Turning Point Tonight. Remember you can always email the 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: show at TPT at tpusa dot com, whether or not 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: you agree with us or you're wrong. If your email 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: is abhorrent and gross and disgusting and awful, we will 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: probably read it on this show. First things first, though, 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: we won't delete emails or text communications, Unlike LA Mayor 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Karen Bass. The La Times, definitely not a conservative right 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: wing media outlet, has asked for the text messages of 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: lamay Or Karen Bass in the whole wake of the 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: LA fires. The problem is those text messages have been deleted. 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: Oh no, where have we seen this one before. I 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: wonder if she kept them on a private server. An 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: attorney for the city has said, well, this is you know, 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: standard practice. The mayor has her text messages set to 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: auto delete. The problem is city code says that, well, 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: she can't do that. And on top of that, the 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: state actually has a law that says that city and 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: government officials have to keep their text message communications for 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: up to two years. Despite all of that, there has 30 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: been no luck getting any of the text messages that 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: La Mayor Karen Bass sent, probably from Ghana during the 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: La fires. Here to comment on that, and a bunch 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: more is our awesome panel for today prime Time. Stein 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and the Cho Show both have fantastic nicknames, Alex Stein 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Choe. Frontlines Reporter. Thanks guys for joining us. 36 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: Thank you for having me. 37 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: Alex. 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: We'll start with you. You know, what could possibly be 39 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: the reason that the La mayor is deleting texts or 40 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: at least at very least refusing to turn over those 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: texts to the media. What could she be hiding? 42 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 4: Well, you know, Joe, Bob, you know what's going to 43 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 4: happen is the cover up is worse than the crime. 44 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure the text messages were bad, but we know. 45 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: That she was warned that they didn't have enough resources 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 4: if there was a wildfire, Like we already know this, 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 4: and now the fact that she's covering it up, it's 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 4: going to make it ten times worse. It's going to 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: have a strike sand effect because now we're like, well. 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: What did she say? What did she know? 51 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: So you know, it just shows you that we don't 52 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 4: have transparency when it comes to our elected officials. And 53 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 4: Karen Bass is the worst mayor that LA could have elected. 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 4: They needed somebody that actually is different instead of the 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: same old politician that's just going to basically rob the 56 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: taxpayers and enable homelessness and just make the city an 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 4: absolute disaster. When there was a time a short time 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 4: ago when Los Angeles was They're the coolest city in 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 4: the country, And now I don't even want to go 60 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: there for vacation. 61 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gonna want to get to stabbed with a 62 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: needle or anything else floating around La Jonathan, you know, 63 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: this would be up to the new da of Los 64 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: Angeles County, Nathan Hoke Huckman, and or it could be 65 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: prosecuted at the state level. Given the fact that you 66 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: live in the also a deep blue state in Washington. 67 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Do you think that the super far lefties in the 68 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: state city level and also at the state level have 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: the cajones for lack of a better term, to actually 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: prosecute if in fact they deem the text message deletion 71 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: to be illegal. 72 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 73 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 6: I think it's still so early in this process. But 74 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 6: here's the bottom line. Beyond some of the legal ramifications here, 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 6: for Mayor Karen Bass, she's now dealing with a credibility 76 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 6: and leadership problem. No doubt that these texts were exchanged. 77 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 6: In fact, a Los Angeles supervisor recently came out and 78 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 6: also put out their version of this text exchange. So 79 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 6: something was shared, and it essentially shows that Bass dismissed 80 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 6: in many ways the seriousness of what was happening. Bass 81 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 6: was seeing texting saying and being asked, hey, do you 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 6: need anything else? Do you need any help? And you know, 83 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 6: Bass then says no, I think we're gonna be just fine. 84 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 6: So I think that in and of itself shows that 85 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 6: Bass underestimated the significance of the fires. And right now, again, 86 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 6: we really do need to hear her side of the story. 87 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 6: So as far as prosecution, I don't think it's gonna happen. 88 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 6: We've seen something similar to this in Seattle during the 89 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 6: height of BLM. Mayor Jenny Durkin also deleted texts from 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 6: her phone and she was never prosecuted. 91 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: She paid a fine but was never prosecuted. 92 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 5: Yeah. 93 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: I think the punishment could be up to one thousand 94 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: dollars and a year in jail, or a year in jail, 95 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: possibly even both. I wonder if that'll ever happen. Probably not. 96 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: Moving on to a more serious I guess ish fair, 97 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: but this whole thing at Columbia University where they've got 98 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: the student visa, the hamas protester guy Mahmood Khalid was 99 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: it Mahmoud Khalid Khalil. There we go being taken up 100 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: by ice slash immigration and being threatened to be deported. 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: So the administration has said, well, he's not really committed 102 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: a crime. And I think it was categorized best by 103 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: this tweet from a Bill Mallusion of Fox News, in 104 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: which he said it doesn't matter if Khalil has been 105 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: charged with a crime, it's not required under Section two 106 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: thirty seven A four C all of the different numbers, 107 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: which is a statute that Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, 108 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: is using which gives him broad discretion. This was used 109 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five under the Clinton administration to also 110 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: have people who didn't necessarily commit a crime still be deported, which, 111 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: if you remember in nineteen ninety five, the Clintons were 112 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: not conservative Republicans, they were Democrats. They were normal Democrats. 113 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Alex Is this gone on a little bit too far 114 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: in terms of whether or not this is free speech 115 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: or it's you know, just trying to keep pro terrorists 116 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: out of the country. 117 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: Well, you know, obviously I respect everybody's right to protest peacefully, 118 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: so I know, even though I disagree with him ideologically, 119 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: I agree with his right to protest. But listen, if 120 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 4: you're not an American citizen, you're not promised the same 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: rights as an American citizen. So if you come here 122 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 4: and we deem your behavior bad, I mean, I'm sorry, 123 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 4: that's just how it works. We have a country with 124 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: rules and laws, and even if he didn't necessarily break 125 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: a law, if the government feels that he is unsafe, 126 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: we have a thing called the Patriot Acts. I mean, 127 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 4: you know, there are things in place to stop people 128 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: that might potentially be a threat to our country. So 129 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 4: I'm not surprised, And unfortunately, you know, he's got to go. 130 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: If you're an immigrant and you're causing trouble, I hate 131 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 4: to say it, and I want you to be here, 132 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 4: but I want you to come here the right way, 133 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: and I want. 134 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: You to come here and not cause a bunch of problems. 135 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 4: So you know, I'm really not that empathetic, but I 136 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 4: do feel like anybody should have the right to protest, 137 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 4: no matter what issue their protest. 138 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it feels like, regardless of where you fall 139 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: in this position, it's great as a country to kind 140 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: of wrestle through those ideas of you know what is 141 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: free speech versus you know what is a threat to 142 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: the country. Jonathan, I want to play this clip from 143 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: New York with Tom Holman walking through a corridor and 144 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: being yelled at by a guy who's running for New 145 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: York City mayor and gets your reaction to this. Watch this. 146 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: That guy's obviously trying to gain some attention yelling at 147 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: Tom Holman, which doesn't feel like a good idea. I 148 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: don't think Tom Holman's a guy that you should yell 149 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: at indiscriminately. Bill Lusian also said the guy Khalil has 150 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: not been disappeared. You can look him up on an 151 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: inmate locator for ICE. You can see exactly where he's 152 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: being held. Overall reaction, do you think it's a good 153 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: idea to yell at Tom Holman? And two are they 154 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: mischaracterizing this on the lefty side of the aisle? 155 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 156 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Tom Holman doesn't care, and he's 157 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 6: already said that he has a job to do. He 158 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 6: was brought in by the Trump administration to essentially deport 159 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 6: millions of illegals in this country, and especially the criminals, 160 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 6: the ones who have committed violent crimes and have been 161 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 6: convicted of that. And that's what he's doing right now. 162 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 6: So that official or candidate rather who's running, he's just 163 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 6: trying to put on a show in a circus, trying 164 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 6: to get some attention. 165 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: So again I don't think that really phases Tom Holman. 166 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: You know. 167 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 6: Otherwise, you know, this is a complicated legal situation right now. 168 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 6: We haven't seen this type of situation play out really publicly, 169 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 6: so I think it could set some type of legal precedent. 170 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 6: But again I think, you know, the Trump administration has 171 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 6: the right to deport people who want to essentially incite 172 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 6: riots and who have essentially called for the you know, 173 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 6: obliteration of Western civilization. We're seeing violent rhetoric from this guy, 174 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 6: and at the very least that need to be scrutinized. 175 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that all plays out. 176 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Trump administration, everybody's been aware of this 177 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: story about the International Space Station. These two astronauts go 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: up in June of twenty twenty four, originally for an 179 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: eight day mission. Something goes wrong. They've been up there 180 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: ever since. Elon Musk and SpaceX are set to launch 181 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: a rescue mission tomorrow. Alex at the time when those 182 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: astronauts were stuck up there originally, Elon says that he 183 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: was talking to Joe Biden and the Biden administration and 184 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: his NASA department and was saying, hey, we can go 185 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: up and do this, and they got denied, denied, denied. 186 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: Do we think that the denial of Elon's SpaceX to 187 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: rescue those astronauts were politically motivated or was it the 188 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: fact that Joe Biden has always been oh, we better 189 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: not it seems too dangerous. Remember, he was the only 190 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: one in the room to say no. When the Obama 191 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: administration took out Asama bin Laden, which one do you 192 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: think it was. 193 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: I don't think it takes obvious to realize that Joe 194 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 4: Biden didn't want Elon Musk, who is Donald Trump's current 195 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: best friend. You could argue to be the hero, but 196 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: you know, when it comes to Joe Biden, it's crazy 197 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: how you can have a Venezuelan terrace, right, you know, 198 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 4: come to the border acclaim As Island, you get a 199 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: free hotel room in Manhattan. But instead of deporting him, 200 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: he deported our astronauts to outer space. He's deporting the 201 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 4: wrong people, you know what I mean, Like they don't 202 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 4: get to you shouldn't kick them out of the country. 203 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 4: We're trying to bring them back in. It's not that 204 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 4: hard of a you know, concept to understand. But of 205 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 4: course Joe Biden's seen now for that. 206 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, don't don't. Almost did a spit take there. 207 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: That would have been all bad. I was drinking coffee 208 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: and talking about deporting astronauts. Now I love it. Jonathan, 209 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of Elon, you're in Seattle. You've seen kind of 210 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: the the rioters all around, their lighting Tesla cyber trucks 211 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: on fire. What is your take being on the ground 212 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: in those areas where Elon's being protested for, in my opinion, 213 00:10:59,280 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: being pro Maria. 214 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 215 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 6: Look, I mean we're seeing the hypocrisy from the left 216 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 6: on full display. This is the group that loved Elon 217 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 6: before he aligned with Trump. They were buying Tesla saying 218 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 6: we need to go ev and now that Elon is 219 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 6: essentially saving taxpayer dollars by you know, gutting you know, 220 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 6: waste at the government level, they've all turned on him. 221 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 6: And it's really, you know, showing the true colors of 222 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 6: the far left. Especially, we're seeing Antifa. We're seeing far 223 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 6: left activists again causing destruction and violence, destroying cyber trucks, 224 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 6: lighting them on fire. I've reported on already two serious 225 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 6: incidents this week, and one of the most egregious ones 226 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 6: was again a Trump hater and a Musk hater buying 227 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 6: a Tesla and then trashing it with a pickaxe just 228 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 6: to prove a point. So, I mean, at the very least, 229 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 6: there's a lot of mental illness going on right now 230 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 6: on the left. 231 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: Man that takes a decent amount of cash to buy 232 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: one of those things just to trash it, I wonder 233 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: if you know they're a rich liberal elite trust fund kid. 234 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: Alex Jonathan appreciate you. Our pennel will be back to 235 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: discuss the DEI that was going on in the FAA 236 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: during the Obama administration. 237 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 3: After the break. 238 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: We'll also check in with Monica Page, Turning Points, White 239 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: House Correspondent right after this. Don't go away, We'll be 240 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to Turning Point tonight, where we 241 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. Time for 242 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: the best part of the day, our daily update from 243 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: White House. Turning Point Correspondent. Let me rephrase that, Turning 244 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: Point White House Correspondent, Monica Page. Monica joins us from 245 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: the White House. Monica, how you doing. 246 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 7: Doing great, Joe, Bob, another day here at the White House. 247 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 7: It's a little cloud yeah, not sunny, but we're hanging 248 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 7: in there. 249 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 8: Yeah. 250 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: I hope for some son soon. So NATO has been 251 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: a big topic of discussion. Pretty much anybody who's been 252 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: following global geopolitics knows that the United States pretty much 253 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: funds all of anything NATO does, so we want it 254 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: to be efficient and effective. Can you talk us through 255 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: what's going on coming out of the White House? Regarding NATO. 256 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, so to your point, Jo Bob, I mean that's 257 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 7: something that President Trump has been talking about heavily, how 258 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 7: we are constantly contributing to NATO, but some other countries 259 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 7: haven't really been picking up some of this slack. So 260 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 7: God forbid, if something were to happen to the United States, 261 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 7: would some of the other countries come to our rescue 262 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 7: if something were to happen, because we know that we 263 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 7: would for other countries, would others do the same. So 264 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 7: President Trump speaking with the NATO General Secretary today in 265 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 7: the Oval Office, talking about in respects to Russia, Ukraine, 266 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 7: but also where NATO goes from here moving forward, and 267 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 7: really what the vision would look like moving forward. I 268 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 7: know President Trump had also recently mentioned that NATO needs 269 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 7: an overhaul. They need to complete really one to eighty 270 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 7: on how NATO works. So it'll be interesting to see 271 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 7: how things go moving forward and how those conversations happen 272 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 7: after this afternoon. 273 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always fascinating how those euro countries are big time. Yeah, 274 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: everyone needs to do their part, except for when it 275 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: comes to things like NATO or the UN, in which 276 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: case the US you go ahead and pay for all 277 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: of that speaking of President Trump, obviously you're at the 278 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: White House. He's going to the DOJ tomorrow. Tell us 279 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: about that. 280 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, President Trump taking his first trip to the DOJ tomorrow, 281 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 7: the Department of Justice where Attorney General Pam Bondi is 282 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 7: leading the charge over there. She also posted on x 283 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 7: saying that she's looking forward to Trump's speech and his 284 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 7: visit at the DOJ tomorrow. President Trump really looking to 285 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 7: hit home at the weaponization of government. I mean, as 286 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 7: we know, during the entirety of President Trump's campaign, he 287 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 7: has been targeted by the federal government under Joe Biden's leadership. 288 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 7: So he's looking to really hit home on that and 289 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 7: maybe even pitch an idea that he has some kind 290 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 7: of reform for the Department of Justice and outline really 291 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 7: what he thinks how the DOJ should be operating moving forward. 292 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 7: So very interesting to see what he'll have to say tomorrow, 293 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 7: how long he'll stay. Of course, we do know that 294 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 7: he has some executive orders that he might be looking 295 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 7: into tomorrow as well. There are some rumors that could 296 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 7: be the Aliens Act of seventeen ninety eight he could 297 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 7: be looking at as well. But he's heading tomorrow Alago 298 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 7: tomorrow afternoon. The winter White House is what many people 299 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 7: call it. So he's got a busy day tomorrow too. 300 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 7: It's always a busy week here at this White House. 301 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: You know, you've been covering the White House for a 302 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: while talking about the trips tomorrow Lago. A bunch of 303 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: people are very upset that their taxpayer dollars are being 304 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: spent for President Trump to fly around. Is this pretty 305 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: normal thing though? Do presidents leave the White House often? 306 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 9: Yeah? 307 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 7: I mean under Joe Biden, we saw him leaving to 308 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 7: go to Delaware or ahobe of beach, especially in the summertime. 309 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 7: He spent about a little bit more than forty percent 310 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 7: of his presidency, by the way, on vacation, a lot 311 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 7: of that being spent during the summertime. But President Trump, 312 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 7: you know, he actually works on his supposed days off 313 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 7: on the weekend, so we can definitely expect him to 314 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 7: maybe release some statements over the weekend. This is normal though, 315 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 7: I mean we've seen it with Joe Biden, but with 316 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 7: President Trump, although he does travel, he has a different 317 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 7: agenda than just laying on a beach. 318 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. True, Monica Page turning points, White House correspondent, thanks 319 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: for joining us today. 320 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 7: Thanks so much for having me. 321 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. 322 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, let's get back to our panel, 323 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: because you got to talk about the whole FAA DEI 324 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: thing apparently was going on in the Obama years. In 325 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, there was a call that was leaked from 326 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: one of the hiring people over at the FAA that 327 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: is responsible for hiring flight tower operators. Well, it didn't 328 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: really sound all that great. I'm gonna play this clip 329 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: and have our panel react to what apparently has been 330 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: going on for way too long. 331 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: Check this out. 332 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 8: Provides you with an email that will be extremely crucial 333 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 8: in the opening stages of this HID process. There are 334 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 8: some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a 335 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 8: screenshot of and I'm going to send that to you 336 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 8: via email. Trust and believe it will be something that 337 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 8: you will appreciate to the utmost. Keep in mind, we 338 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 8: are trying to maximize your opportunities and I'm doing the 339 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 8: very best that I can with the time that I'm given. 340 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 5: Today. 341 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 8: When I get off at eleven o'clock, the first thing 342 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 8: that I'm going to do is I'm going to finish 343 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 8: out that email. I'm going to finish to each of you, 344 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 8: and as you progress through the stages, refer to those 345 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 8: images so that you would know which icons you should select. 346 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: So that is Shelton Snow who was sending out emails 347 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: of how to pass through the first phases of employment 348 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: with the FAA. Shelton Snow was a powerful figure. The 349 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: Daily Mail reports in the get this National Black Coalition 350 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: of Federal Aviation Employees. Not even sure why that was 351 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: a thing, but he was the head of that organization 352 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: and the president of the Washington Suburban chapter of that 353 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: area that association. Let's see, Alex, I mean, are we surprised, 354 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: But let me let me try to surprise you more. 355 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: Are we surprised that this guy still works for the 356 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: FAA even after this came out. The Inspector General knew 357 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: about this in twenty fifteen. They said, hey, you can 358 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: stay employed, and to this day he's still employed by 359 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: the FAA. 360 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 4: You know, honestly, I'm not surprised because you know how 361 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: he would spin it that he's trying to help people, right, 362 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 4: you know, he's trying to help people, But when it 363 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 4: comes to our safety, I just want a dang FAA agent. 364 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 2: That knows what they're doing. I mean, if we need 365 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: a meritocracy, it comes to our. 366 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 4: Safety in air travel and even you know, if they're 367 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 4: an eighteen wheeler driver. I don't want people cheating on 368 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,239 Speaker 4: their driving tests. I mean they're operating heavy machinery. They 369 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 4: are in charge of all of these planes in New 370 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 4: York City or wherever they are. I mean, this is 371 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 4: a complicated thing. I think that you have to have 372 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 4: an IQ over one hundred. So listen, I'm not surprised 373 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: he's cheating. In his mind, he probably thought what he 374 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 4: was doing was good. But because of that, that's why 375 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 4: we have planes. 376 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: That crash into black Hawk helicopters. I mean, it's all 377 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: basically DEI and I listen. 378 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 4: I want to help marginalize people, but risking the safety 379 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 4: of other people to help out marginalized people, it doesn't 380 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 4: make sense. 381 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: That's not what we do in a proper society. 382 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan, He went on in the phone call to 383 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: say or the voicemail to say he's ninety nine point 384 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: nine percent sure that this is exactly every answer to 385 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: each question and said using buzzwords will flag your resume, 386 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: thereby giving you an advantage over thousands of others. We 387 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: asked Alice if he's surprised that he still works for 388 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: the FAA. This happened again in twenty fourteen, so we're 389 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: long ways away from it. Do you think people change, 390 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: I guess is my question. Or you know, is this 391 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: guy still probably going to try and pull some similar 392 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: stuff in the modern day. 393 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 6: Well, I think if this guy isn't an idiot, he will, 394 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 6: you know, lay low for now. But you know, we've 395 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 6: talked about this, Joe, Bob, you know, this is the 396 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 6: epitome of DEI from the depths of hell Man. I mean, 397 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 6: if you look further at the details of this story, 398 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 6: not only was this guy allegedly trying to help people 399 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 6: cheat on these tests, you know, he essentially was only 400 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 6: helping minorities. He didn't give these answers to white people. Look, 401 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 6: you as Asian Americans. You know, we've talked about growing up, 402 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 6: we wanted to see more representation, We wanted to see 403 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 6: more Asian American faces, but not at the expense of 404 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 6: another ethnic group when they're being marginalized, discriminated against. And 405 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 6: this is exactly what's happening here. And that's why DEI 406 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 6: doesn't work. It's not merit based and on top of that. 407 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 6: What this does is it actually sets back these minorities 408 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 6: several decades. I feel like, who were just wanted to 409 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 6: take this test, and now everyone's gonna think, well, that 410 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 6: person's a DEI higher if they actually make it through. 411 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: So I don't think it's fair for anyone involved. 412 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan, I just want to correct the record. You 413 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: said that I identify. I actually identify as an African American, 414 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: but for tax purposes. Actually, I think on this panel 415 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: Alex is actually the minorities. So Alex will have to 416 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: pander to ye. 417 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: Yes he is. Yeah, feel to be white, Alex. 418 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: Its good honestly. 419 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 4: But you know, but Jonathan, you know this is one thing, 420 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 4: you know, I you know, I don't want to get 421 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 4: in hot water for this, but I do believe that 422 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: there's a reason that Asians when they come to America 423 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 4: they're most successful, you know, because it's you know, they're 424 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 4: trying to work hard, they're not taking free handouts. So 425 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: it is crazy how people say that we have a 426 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 4: racist country when Asian Americans are statistically incredibly successful when 427 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: they come to this country, but other people aren't. So, 428 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 4: you know, I think it's it comes to the way 429 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 4: we were raised our culture or you know, ethical and 430 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 4: moral values of why we're successful, not the color of 431 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 4: our skin. 432 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: Wow, Alex, it sounds like it sounds very bigoted, almost 433 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: like something that Martin Luther King Junior would say, judged 434 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: by the content of your character, not the color of 435 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: your skin. You know, Jonathan, I want to go back 436 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: to you in Seattle. Uh, there's this big story that 437 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: I found on your X feed talking about ICE agents 438 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: in Seattle being docked by a bunch of the loony 439 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: people that don't want illegal criminals to be rounded up 440 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: and deported out of the country. Can you tell us 441 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: more about that? What's going on there? 442 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, this has been going on for several weeks 443 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 6: now across the nation where ICE agents again being docked 444 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 6: essentially far left activists, immigrant rights group groups, you know, 445 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 6: notifying school districts, neighbor groups to take photos if they 446 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 6: see any type of raids and take these photos. And 447 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 6: now they're putting it up on websites so others can 448 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 6: essentially be notified and alerted if they see these agents 449 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 6: in their hood as well. And that's extremely dangerous for 450 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 6: these ICE agents who are dealing with criminal illegals to 451 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 6: begin with. And now that they're being outed personal information faces, 452 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 6: it's really becoming problematic here, especially in Seattle. 453 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, the first time I met Jonathan Chow, he was 454 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: running through the quad away from Antifa at a at 455 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: the University of Seattle. Alex Just overall, you know, both 456 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: of you have amazing bravery when it comes to being 457 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: in these super tense situations. How important is it that 458 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: in spite of you know, not this is not condoning 459 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: docsing at all. I'm just saying, in spite of the 460 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: fact that the left does plague with some dirty rules, 461 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: how important is it to continue to, you know, stand 462 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: up and not let it impede on what it is 463 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: that you're doing well. 464 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 2: I mean, you know Trump said it best. 465 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 4: You know, we have to fight, and that doesn't mean 466 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 4: a physical fight, but it kind of means going on 467 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 4: and getting in the mix and seeing what's really happening, 468 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 4: because you know some of Jonathan's work and I'm not 469 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 4: patting myself on the back, but a lot of people 470 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 4: are scared to go to these protests, and people like 471 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 4: Jonathan and I are just crazy enough to go out 472 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: and get in the middle of it. 473 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: So it's not this glamorous thing. 474 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 4: It's really not going to a protest and getting you know, 475 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: Antifa hitting you with umbrellas. Nothing's really glamorous about it, 476 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 4: but I think it needs to happen so people realize 477 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 4: what's actually going on and just the weirdness. I'm sure 478 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 4: Jonathan goes to these protests, just some of the people, 479 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 4: and that's why I almost get the content. I did 480 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 4: even just receive the protest, but some of these people 481 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 4: are so bizarre and on so many hormones, and there's 482 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 4: so many times vaccinated, Like it's just the freaks of 483 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 4: the freaks. And Jonathan and I we're pretty freaky too 484 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 4: for going and you know, filming all these people out 485 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 4: in published. 486 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, Cod, that would be crazy to do what we do, Alex, 487 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 6: But you know, I just simply want to quickly add 488 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 6: job Bob. The reason why we're out there trying to 489 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 6: cover these protests as well is because you don't have 490 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 6: mainstream media out there. This is the type of content 491 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 6: that isn't brand safe. You can't sell diaperads next to this. 492 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 6: But at the same time, we've got to expose and 493 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 6: show what these activists are doing. In many cases, the 494 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 6: violent rhetoric they're putting out there, the call to action, 495 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 6: the mobilization and destruction, the graffiti, the trashing of vehicles 496 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 6: and buildings. 497 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 3: If we're not there to spotlight that, no one else 498 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: will be. 499 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 500 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate the courage it takes. I go into some 501 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: of those riots as well, But fortunately for me, the 502 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: protester slash rioters are so racist they look at me 503 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: and say, brown guy with the earrings, he's probably on 504 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: our side. So I'm usually saying Jonathan, Joe alex Stein, 505 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. 506 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 3: Really appreciate it. 507 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: We'll have you back as soon as we. 508 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: Caud have a go on. Joe, Bob, thanks for having me. 509 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: Thank you. 510 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: Coming up next, a cultural apothecary kip clip that you 511 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: don't want to miss from Alex Clark. Don't go, it 512 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: will be right back. 513 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 10: You said that you knew that you wanted to homeschool. 514 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 10: What was your preconception of homeschool kids. 515 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 11: I didn't know much about them, but I just I 516 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 11: think I just followed the you know, oh they're weird 517 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 11: or whatever. It's just like what everyone says. But I 518 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 11: didn't really know any homeschool kids. I was in public school. 519 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 11: My parents were in the Army and they worked really 520 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 11: long hours, so I was just kind of in public 521 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 11: school and or after school care. And that was another 522 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 11: thing that kind of really motivated me to want to 523 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 11: homeschool is just having time with my kids. I feel like, 524 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 11: even as an adult, like I don't know my parents 525 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 11: as much as I could. And it's people think that's 526 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 11: mom shaming, but just like it's just the hours you 527 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 11: spend with your kids. If you're not spending as many 528 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 11: hours with your kids as someone who is, you're just 529 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 11: not going to have as deep of a relationship. It's 530 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 11: just a fact. 531 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 10: Do you get accused of mom shaming on your account? 532 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 10: Oh of course. Why. 533 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 11: No one wants to see someone do something different than 534 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 11: what they're doing. It just doesn't feel safe, right. It's like, 535 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 11: even if you're not saying you're doing this wrong, just 536 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 11: talking about what you're doing in a positive light feels 537 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 11: like a threat to people. 538 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 10: Are we a threat to people the way that we 539 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 10: want to raise our kids? 540 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 11: I think it's bettering the world and I think that 541 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 11: people should take a second look. If it makes you 542 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 11: feel bad, then maybe there's something to that. 543 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 10: What is your homeschool philosophy? How would you describe the 544 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 10: way that you teach your kids. Are you unschooling, are 545 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 10: you nature schooling? What is it that you do? 546 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 11: We're so flexible and dynamic, and I think that's that 547 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 11: is what we're doing, right, We're being flexible. My oldest 548 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 11: is almost seven, and we're constantly kind of taking his 549 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 11: temperature around. Okay, are you bored? Do you feel fulfilled 550 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 11: right now? And just like asking what he wants to 551 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 11: learn and if he's doing okay, And you can also 552 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 11: tell right it impacts their mood, right, if they're not 553 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 11: feeling fulfilled, you can tell like something, something's off right, 554 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 11: So right now we have mostly outside play. If you 555 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 11: want to go through like kind of our daily schedule. 556 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 10: Yes, from the moment your kids wake up, tell me 557 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 10: every single granular detail. 558 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 11: Sure, we wake up. When we do a home cooked breakfast. 559 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 11: All meals are home cooked, like good healthy food because 560 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 11: I think that's like the foundation of everything. 561 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 10: So what's the typical breakfast? 562 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 11: Eggs with bell peppers and sometimes like some meat or 563 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 11: like bacon or steak or something, but nothing microwave. We 564 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 11: don't have a microwave, like, none of that. It's like 565 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 11: real food foundation. They eat fruit all day just NonStop, 566 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 11: like that's our biggest bill I think is fruit. But 567 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 11: they eat a really really good breakfast and then they're outside. 568 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 11: That's it, Like that's how we start the day, big meal, 569 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 11: go outside. 570 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 10: Do you ever find yourself having to kick them out 571 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 10: of the house, like beg them like you're going outside, 572 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 10: like where they want to stay in or to the 573 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 10: most part, For the most part, do your kids like 574 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 10: just run for the door. 575 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 11: They know the schedule. But we have times where just 576 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 11: I think, like any families sometimes are like no, I 577 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 11: want to sit in here, but then they'll quickly realize 578 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 11: there's nothing to do in there and there's way more 579 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 11: to sea outside. 580 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 10: Do you have a TV? We do, okay, And so 581 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 10: how much screen time on like any given week do 582 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 10: your kids get? You think it depends. 583 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 11: We go through seasons, like if it's winter, a little 584 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 11: bit more right, we'll have would you like a family 585 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 11: movie or something, but they're not watching like TV shows. 586 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 11: The shorter the show, the more impact it has on 587 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 11: their attention span. Right, if they can sit for a 588 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 11: longer movie, it's just like it's better for the brain. 589 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 11: And I don't know how to describe that on a 590 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 11: scientific level, I'm sure you'll have someone on here that 591 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 11: can talk to that. But just like we see it, 592 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 11: if you watch like some shorts, their brain's gonna they're 593 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 11: gonna like start going crazy a little bit. So we 594 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 11: just kind of watch how things affect their body. And 595 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 11: we found that like longer form like a movie, even 596 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 11: if they don't watch the whole thing, just something that's 597 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 11: slower paced, that they can sit through that and it 598 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 11: doesn't really hurt them as much. 599 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 10: Okay, so you eat the home cooked meal, they go 600 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 10: outside for play and then and then what. 601 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 11: And they play for like two or three hours, and 602 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 11: then we'll have like one class a day. We use 603 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 11: something called out school. It's like these little zoom classes. 604 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 11: Hudsons learn how to use pro create, Like that's his 605 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 11: interest right now, and it changes. He used to be 606 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 11: chess like, so he would have like a thirty minute 607 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 11: class with the chess tutor, but now he has a 608 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 11: pro Create tutor because he's really into animation. So just 609 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 11: like something that's that I can't necessarily teach that, we 610 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 11: outsource that for like a thirty minute class and then 611 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 11: Tom does like a little pre ca circle time just 612 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 11: for fun, and then we're back outside for most of 613 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 11: the rest of the day, and we have like lunch 614 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 11: outside time, and when they're outside sometimes it's just free play, 615 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 11: and then a lot of times we have projects. So 616 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 11: we just kind of do things as a family. Right now, 617 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 11: across the street from us that at the boy Scout camp, 618 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 11: there's someone else who owns the other side, but they're 619 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 11: taking down a lot of like the cabins and old buildings. 620 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 11: Nick is helping the boys take that apart because they're 621 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 11: going to build a treehouse with the old wood. 622 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 10: So here's what naysayers would say to this lifestyle. They 623 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 10: would say, how does learning how to take down a 624 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 10: treehouse help your kid fare in the real world? What 625 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 10: would you say? 626 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 11: There's so much math and buildings, so go talk to 627 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 11: an architect and tell them that they're not using things 628 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 11: in the real world. Building is the real world. Look around, 629 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 11: like everything is built right, So when they're learning how 630 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 11: to build and they're doing things hands on, that's like 631 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 11: the best way to learn math. I like failed math. 632 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 11: I did not get it like all the way through. 633 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 11: And I think that wasn't because I didn't understand math. 634 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 11: I just didn't understand the way they were trying to 635 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 11: teach it. I remember being in high school. My teacher 636 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 11: ended up letting me cheat because she just like threw 637 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 11: her hands up in the air because I would ask why, 638 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 11: like we could be giving me this equation and I 639 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 11: would be staring at it and she'd say, Okay, you 640 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 11: see this is why it's the answer. I'm like, but 641 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 11: but why, I guess didn't get it, Like why the 642 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 11: numbers in in a row didn't mean anything to me? 643 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 11: But maybe if we could actually like build something, you 644 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 11: could see the angles in, like geometry wasn't just like 645 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 11: something on a flat piece of paper. 646 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 10: So what you're saying. What you're saying is every kid 647 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 10: learns differently. Homeschool gives parents the freedom and the ability 648 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 10: to spend the time and take a second to figure 649 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 10: out what that different learning style is going to be 650 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 10: for each kid and then teach accordingly. Do you feel 651 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 10: like that's true with your own kids? 652 00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:58,959 Speaker 11: Absolutely? 653 00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 7: Yep. 654 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 11: They're learning all the basics, but it just looks different. 655 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 11: Math through building, writing through writing books Like Hudson will 656 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 11: we'll go through something and he'll be like, I want 657 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 11: to write a story about what happened today, And he'll 658 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 11: write a story. But it's not me being like, Okay, 659 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 11: let's do a spelling beee write this word like that. 660 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 11: I've tried doing that. It doesn't work. They get so annoyed, 661 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 11: so bored. It's almost like if they know they're like 662 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 11: being forced to learn, they kind of shut it off. 663 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 11: They're like, no, this is not what I want to do. 664 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 11: So what are their ideas? 665 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 10: What are the basic foundations of your homeschool philosophy? Like, 666 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 10: what are the most important pillars to your family when 667 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 10: teaching your kids? 668 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 11: Listen to them. I think that children should have a 669 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 11: say in their own education. That is so so important 670 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 11: to me, mostly because I felt like I didn't have 671 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 11: a say. But again, I feel like God has he 672 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 11: created us for a reason. Each of us has talents, 673 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 11: has skills that are built in, and we can uncover 674 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 11: those if we ask questions, if we give children the 675 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 11: freedom to And I think that children naturally learn. They 676 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 11: want to learn, they want to get better, they want 677 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 11: to explore the world around them, So we want to 678 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 11: give them space to do that and then let them 679 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 11: kind of choose how they're learning. 680 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 10: You have a six acre property, do you have to 681 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 10: have eyes on your kids the entire time? They're outside. 682 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 11: No, No, we live so rural that it's like so safe, 683 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 11: and it's like complete opposite of how it used to 684 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 11: be in the city, like you were like really on edge. 685 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 11: But no, it's so safe there. 686 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 10: So even if your kids are not with an eyeshot 687 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 10: in your own yard, you don't mind they're in these 688 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 10: dangerous woods and taking down tree houses and stuff. You 689 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 10: just trust your kids. You're not scared about them getting 690 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 10: hurt with when you can't see. 691 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 11: So there's two things to that. We know the woods 692 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 11: so like we've been there for long enough that we 693 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 11: know we're not gonna let them go down to the 694 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 11: creek by themselves. There's like some things you know, especially 695 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 11: to the two year old. He stays in eyesight. But 696 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 11: like our almost seven year old Hudson, he can he 697 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 11: can run around, he can explore and know we're not 698 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 11: afraid for anything because he knows what to do, Like 699 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 11: he is capable. He knows how to climb trees and 700 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 11: if there's anything, he knows how to handle himself because 701 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 11: he's had that practice. 702 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 10: Is fear preventing parents from being good parents, definitely, And 703 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 10: I don't I think that's kind of by design. 704 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 11: I think this goes back to how we were schooled. 705 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 11: I think that when you are trained from a young 706 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 11: age to listen to the authority figures and anything outside 707 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 11: of what you're supposed to be doing is not good. 708 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 11: Like that kind of teaches you to be afraid of 709 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 11: branching out. So many people are afraid of of quitting 710 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 11: their jobs and trying something new. People are afraid of 711 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 11: downsizing their home. All these things that you might have 712 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 11: to do to be able to homeschool, people are afraid 713 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 11: to do that. People are afraid to change their lives 714 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 11: do anything other than what they thought they were supposed 715 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 11: to do this whole time, if that makes sense. We 716 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 11: get comments a lot about our kids being barefoot, like, oh, 717 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 11: they're gonna get tetanus. Oh they're gonna get infected. What 718 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 11: about ticks? And just like just silly things. It's like, well, 719 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 11: ticks are gonna get to you whether you're barefoot or not, 720 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 11: So you know the tick. 721 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 10: Thing is is actually, now that you bring that up 722 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 10: and you're living in the woods, I actually get that 723 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 10: question on Also, it's very funny. I always get parenting 724 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 10: questions and I'm not a parent, and when when I 725 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 10: say something that people don't like then all of a 726 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 10: sudden and it's wielded against me of like, well, you're 727 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 10: not a parent, you can't say your opinion on this. 728 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 10: But then I'm also the person that they're always asking, 729 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 10: what do you know about this baby food brand? Or 730 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 10: what do you know about you know, tetanus shots or 731 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 10: being barefoot or ticks. So one thing that I think 732 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 10: prevents a lot of parents from letting their kids just 733 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 10: play outside in their yard is this fear of ticks. 734 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,479 Speaker 10: So how do you guys handle that? It's just if they. 735 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 11: Get when they get one, you know when it's happening. 736 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 11: It's like people think that there are these invisible bugs 737 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 11: that will appear on your body and you won't know 738 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 11: they're there for a week. It's just like you feel 739 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 11: it crawling on you, just like you wouldn't aunt flick 740 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 11: it off. It's really not that big of a deal. 741 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 11: You'll feel it happening, and then you can just like 742 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 11: take it off and flush it down the toilet. 743 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 7: Done. 744 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 10: What do you think would change if more parents let 745 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 10: their kids play outside for multiple hours a day, all weather. 746 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 11: Kids would be smarter, first of all, we would just 747 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 11: education would be so much better. Kids are supposed to 748 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 11: move around. That's how blood and oxygen gets to their brain. 749 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 11: If they're not moving around, they're they're not going to learn. 750 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 11: And like time you're spending in your homeschool or in 751 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 11: public school is just gonna be like hitting a wall, 752 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 11: like it's just not gonna work like it should. 753 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back to turning point tonight, where we are charting 754 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback.

Really appreciate that, Thanks Van Wick. He says this, 763 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 1: I wonder if the trans community is aware that they 764 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: don't procreate. The guy with the pink beard seemed to 765 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: be talking about the generations to come. How's that gonna work? 766 00:35:59,320 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 3: Great? 767 00:35:59,600 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 2: Great? 768 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 8: Good? 769 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: Also good question. I don't really know the future generations 770 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: of us trans people who can't reproduce, which don't talking 771 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: biology there. Thank you for that. Email Van Wick and 772 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: if you want to remember, you can email TPT at 773 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: TPUSA dot com. Ladies and gentlemen, it is Thursday, which 774 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: means it is time for throwdown Thursday. Thank you screaming 775 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: young lady. Throw it out Thursday, in which we watch 776 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: videos from all of the Internet, probably specifically from Charlie. 777 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: And Charlie is the king of throwing it down with 778 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: the libs, so we've got a couple of clips from 779 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: him doing exactly what we just explained. Watch this first 780 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 1: one and we'll discuss. 781 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 12: I'm hoping that you could explain without using a single 782 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 12: buzzword or a conservative talking point. What CRT is. 783 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 13: Comes out of critical theory, which came out of the 784 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 13: Frankfurt School, which is a belief that there are systems 785 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 13: that exist both institutionally and systemically. We must give preference 786 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 13: based on the melanin content of people's skin, not on actions, 787 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 13: not on choices. Wocism, diversity, equity inclusion, the idea of 788 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 13: America being systemically raised a sixty nineteen project. They're all 789 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 13: outgrowths of the postmodern deconstructionist type viewpoint that started in 790 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 13: the nineteen sixties from marcusa found domicile here in America, 791 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 13: implemented in our collogists. 792 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 3: How'd I do? 793 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 12: You did use the word wocism, which is a conservative buzzword. Unfortunately, 794 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 12: I'm going might see thank you? 795 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 13: How about this? 796 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 3: How about this? 797 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 12: So? 798 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm not here to inflate Charlie's ego, 799 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: but I've said this so many times of so many 800 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: different people. The way that that guy's brain works is 801 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: just is unmatched. People like I want to be the 802 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: next Charlie career you can't. He just has information stored 803 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: at a level that you probably don't. And to not 804 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: use any buzzwords, I get that it's not that difficult 805 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: of a task. But then to go back into the 806 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: Frankfurt school in what was it the forties and talk 807 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,240 Speaker 1: about critical theory, which, if you haven't looked into critical theory, 808 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: it basically separates everything from oppressed to a pressor and 809 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: looks through everything through that lens. But to have that 810 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: just on hand is just unreal. Then I love too. 811 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: You actually said, well, okay, all right.

You are a man, So if it's. 823 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 13: Not your DNA, why is it your choice? 824 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 5: Of course my body it happens to. 825 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 13: Be temporarily in your body? 826 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 2: Is it you're being it? 827 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 13: Didn't the woman make a choice to have sex and 828 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 13: then she should carry the responsibility that comes with it. 829 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 11: People who should carry a responsibility? 830 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 13: Wait, hold on, So then shouldn't a man be able 831 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 13: to say you can't have an abortion without my consent? 832 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 13: I thought you said it was just a woman's issue. 833 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 2: Well, hold on, if a man and a woman both. 834 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 13: Get a baby to be created, shouldn't a man have 835 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 13: to approve and sign off on an abortion before it happens? 836 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,919 Speaker 5: Define why you had to have it both place. 837 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: This also goes to the fact, and we've talked about 838 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: this a couple of times, where you have these people 839 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: on the internet, these pro abortionists saying, well, if a 840 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: woman is forced to have a baby, which is again 841 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: unfairly categorized, uh, then a man should be forced to 842 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: stick with her, And all of us are like, yes, 843 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: we agree.

Thanks so much 849 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: for tuning in again, email the show whenever you want. 850 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God 851 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:23,439 Speaker 1: bless America. 852 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 3: What is a tariff? 853 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,800 Speaker 13: We are hearing this word thrown around a lot. Donald 854 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 13: Trump is starting a trade war, is what we are 855 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 13: being told. We're saying that it is making the economy 856 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 13: go into a recession. But what exactly is a tariff? 857 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 13: A tariff is a duty. It's a tax in some sense, 858 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 13: imposed by, of course a government on importing or exporting 859 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 13: of goods. It is used as a form of negotiation 860 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 13: many times, but as a way to try and bring 861 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 13: both parties to the table. And we have tried unfettered 862 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 13: free trade over the last thirty or forty years. On paper, 863 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 13: free trade with every country looks and sounds good. It 864 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 13: looks and sounds good when we are able to say, 865 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 13: you know what, there's no duties, there's no tariffs, there's 866 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 13: no taxes. However, America has been largely too focused on 867 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 13: the importation of goods into America not being tariffed, and 868 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 13: far too often we don't even ask the question, what 869 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 13: about the products we make in our country that we 870 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 13: want to import to other countries. So the game that 871 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,439 Speaker 13: was constituted, the deal that was structured. 872 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 3: Was the following. 873 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 13: It was that we are going to become a purchaser 874 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 13: of other countries' goods and we will become a service economy. 875 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 13: Why do we need to go make stuff with our hands. 876 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 13: We're better than that. We're just going to go close 877 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 13: down all the factories in Allent We're gonna go close 878 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 13: down the factories in Marshallton, Iowa. We don't need to 879 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 13: be making stuff. We're more elevated than that. We will 880 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,720 Speaker 13: have an information economy, and we all know how that works. 881 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 13: Those very decisions that were made by the American corporate 882 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 13: ruling class led to the rise and the ascension of 883 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 13: Donald Trump. It led to the explosion of the MAGA movement. 884 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 13: Now we are in a three dimensional trade war right now. 885 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 13: President Trump is forcing the issue. President Trump very well 886 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 13: could have avoided this. The American people voted for tariffs, 887 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 13: they voted for stricter trade measures, and he very well 888 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 13: could have avoided this. And understand that the menace of 889 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 13: the Chinese Communist Party was made possible because of our 890 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 13: over indulgence in internationalist trade policies. Americans like the idea 891 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 13: of living in a country that makes things again. Not 892 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 13: only do we want to make Erica great again, we 893 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 13: want to make America make things again. You are not 894 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 13: a country. If you import everything made overseas, you are 895 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 13: nothing more than a trading colony. You're not a country. 896 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 13: President Trump had the Irish Prime Minister. Now I'm going 897 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 13: to butcher the pronunciation, but there's actually a very interesting 898 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 13: title to the Irish Prime Minister. Blake can put the 899 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 13: name in the in the chat. It's like take a 900 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 13: set or something. Is the actual term for the Prime 901 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 13: Minister of Ireland. I learned that. I didn't know that. 902 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 13: But this is President Trump going back and forth with 903 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 13: the Irish leader, thank you, the taiosach ty Sek whatever. 904 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 13: President Trump says that he will impose additional tariffs on 905 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 13: the EU to respond to their retaliatory tariffs. The reporter 906 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 13: then responds and says, well, what will be the retaliation? 907 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 13: Listen carefully. This is President Trump in the Oval Office 908 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 13: going back and forth with the report of what cut 909 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,439 Speaker 13: is this? Trying to pinpoint this, going back and forth 910 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 13: to this reporter saying, I don't blame Ireland for what 911 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 13: they have done. I don't blame the Irish government for 912 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 13: putting duties on our country. Play cut one thirty one. 913 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 3: Police, you have more tires on the. 914 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: EU when you respond to their retaliation. 915 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 5: Of course, their winner respond, you will retire problem. Most 916 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 5: of our country didn't respond. 917 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 14: Look, the EU were set up in order to take 918 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,240 Speaker 14: advantage of the United States. 919 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: Including Ireland's. 920 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 5: Is Ireland taking advantage of the US. 921 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 14: Of course they are. I can't you know. I have 922 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 14: great respect for Ireland or what they did, and they 923 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 14: should have done just what they did, But the United 924 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 14: States shouldn't have let it happened. 925 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 5: We had stupid leaders. 926 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 14: We had leaders that didn't have a clue or let say, 927 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 14: they weren't business people, but they didn't have a clue 928 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 14: what was happening. 929 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, Ireland has you know, our farmers. 930 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 13: That's him talking to the Tasha. By the way, you 931 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 13: can see how poorly I pronounced it. The Taysha, the 932 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 13: leader of Ireland. Other countries can tear if the importation 933 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 13: of American goods, but we don't tear if the importation 934 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 13: of their goods. Now on the surface, we thought we 935 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 13: were getting the better end of the deal. We said, 936 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 13: oh my goodness, we get all of these cheap products. 937 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 13: We get Mercedes Benzes, we get Toyotas, we get Samsung's. 938 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 13: But over time, you can only go to the well 939 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 13: so many times. You can only go to the cheap 940 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 13: money spigot so often. And the more that you start 941 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,280 Speaker 13: to get high on the unlimited flow of cheap money, 942 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 13: the bill comes due. And the bill has come due 943 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 13: everybody with the rise of the Chinese Communist Party and 944 00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:03,919 Speaker 13: our inability to make critical manufacturing. Peter Varro had an 945 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 13: amazing appearance on Jesse Waters and I want to break 946 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 13: this down. When he started talking about the details of 947 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 13: the different tariffs that are put on American goods. Let's 948 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 13: play cut one thirty four. 949 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 9: Please, Now, there was a reason, Jesse, a reason why 950 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,319 Speaker 9: tariffs didn't cause a whiff of inflation. During the first term. 951 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 9: We did historic tariffs on China. We had steel and 952 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 9: aluminum tariffs. We had solar, we had dishwash. We had 953 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 9: these beautiful tariffs bringing in billions of dollars. We had 954 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 9: price debility and growth, and I buried the lead, Jesse. 955 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 9: We are going to get the best tax cut in history, 956 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 9: paid for in a large part by tariff revenues from 957 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 9: around the world. Taken Jesse, from the people who've been 958 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 9: cheating us around the world with higher tariffs and higher 959 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 9: non tariff barriers. It's a beautiful bullet scenario. We're bridging 960 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 9: from Bidenomics to the bolishness and Trumpanomics. 961 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 13: And what you see in the markets could be best 962 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 13: described as a little bit of a expulsion. I don't 963 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 13: want to use two graphic language, but you know what, 964 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 13: if you get the stomach flu with a neurovirus, sometimes 965 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 13: your body needs to expel some of the bad. This 966 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 13: is going to be a little bit of a transition phase. 967 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 13: I don't like to use the word transitory too much 968 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,399 Speaker 13: because the other administration butchered it look President Trump could 969 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 13: easily not do this. Understand the decision in front of 970 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 13: President Trump. President Trump very easily could have said, no tariffs, 971 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 13: keep the market untouched. Let the quote unquote good times roll. 972 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 13: And the American middle class offers. You do not have 973 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 13: a nation, You do not have a country. You do 974 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 13: not have a social contract or social compact. If you 975 00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 13: do not have a robust middle class,
