Every day we get 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: up in the morning, we incur a risk of death. 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: The risk of death that we experience on a daily 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: basis isn't really so dramatically changed as we might think 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen. This is a conversation that quite frankly, 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: Minnesota and America has to have. Using a regulatory board 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: as a weapon to silence someone is wrong. We want 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: legislators to speak openly to the press. We want legislators 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: asking tough questions in committees without fear that somehow there 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: might be retaliation. I'm one hundred percent pro life. I 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: fought planned parenthood and we stopped the sale of baby 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: body parts. Thank God. If you look at children, I mean, 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: they're able to throw it off very easily. For whatever reason. 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: That chinavirus children had live very well. That numbers for 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: children under a certain age, meaning young, their immune systems 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: are very very strong. They're very powerful. When the midst 17 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: of a disturbing new movement in America, a movement where 18 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: the new tettotarians on the left are controlling the narrative 19 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: and the agenda and demanding that those who disagree lose 20 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: their jobs. The radical Left has forgotten the values are 21 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: founding Fathers established for the United States and instead has 22 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: begun to develop a new narrative for a country that 23 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: frankly is a lot like the Salem Which Trials of 24 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: sixteen ninety two or George Orwell's classic novel nineteen eighty four. 25 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: This is the fifth episode in a new series that 26 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: I'm calling Shut Your Mouth, The New Totalatarians the Left, 27 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: in which I will discuss how this new movement is 28 00:01:53,040 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: affecting us in media, academics, sports, business, government, entertainment. In 29 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: our final episode, we want to hear from you what 30 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: have you experienced in your own life. I will post 31 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: all the episodes for you to share at English three 32 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: sixty dot com slash shut your Mouth. This particular episode 33 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: will focus on examples of how the left has taken 34 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: over government and demanded the firings of people who do 35 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: not use the left's language and patterns. First off, the 36 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic has not only had a toll on people's 37 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: health and well being, but as we will see, has 38 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: also affected people's social status. Minnesota State Senator Scott Jensen 39 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: was placed under investigation by the Minnesota Board of Medical 40 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: Practice was spreading quote misinformation during his public addresses. During 41 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: an April interview, Senator Jensen warned that hospitals get paid 42 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: more a Medicare patients as having COVID nineteen and that 43 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: they received three times as much money if Medicare patients 44 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: needed ventilate the elaborator and has views on Facebook. He said, 45 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: quote hospital administrators might well want to see COVID nineteen 46 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate. Why 47 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: because if it's a straightforward, garden variety pneumonia for a 48 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: person's admitted to hospital for if they're Medicare, typically the 49 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: diagnosis related group plumps on. Payment would be five thousand dollars. 50 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: But if it's COVID nineteen neumonia, then it's thirteen thousand dollars. 51 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: And if that COVID nineteen pneumonia patient ends up on 52 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: a ventilator, it goes up to thirty nine thousand dollars. Quote. 53 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: FactCheck dot Org had the following to say about Senator 54 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: Jensen's estimates. Quote. The figures cited by Jensen generally square 55 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: with estimated Medicare payments for COVID nineteen hospitalizations based on 56 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: average Medicare payments for patients with similar diagnosis. However, that 57 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: was not enough for the Minnesota Medical Book, who have 58 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: instead preferred to put his reputation on the line. Upon 59 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: finding out about the investigation, Senator Jensen shared the following 60 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: sentiment quote, my view is that if this can happen 61 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: to me, it can happen to anybody. Similarly, social media 62 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: magnet Twitter has been relentless over the past couple of 63 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: years and seeking to silence conservative voices, especially elected US officials. 64 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: After announcing her election bid in October twenty seventeen, Republican 65 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: US Senator Marsha Blackburn's campaign ad was pulled from Twitter. Advertisement. 66 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: In the ad, Marsha Blackburns said the following line quote, 67 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: I fought planned parenthood, and he stopped the sale of 68 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: baby body parts. The representative from Twitter argued that the 69 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: phrase sale of baby body parts had been deemed an 70 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction. 71 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: Now let me say to all of you, I have 72 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: a deep bias here. I actually think sale of baby 73 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: body parts should be an inflammatory statement and people should 74 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: have a strong negative reaction. I think that the reports 75 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: that planned parent who had literally chopped up babies and 76 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: sold their body parts is something you might compare to, say, 77 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: the Chinese communist dictatorship. It's something you might have imagined 78 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: in Nazi Germany. With the idea that in the United 79 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: States there are institutions which get money from the federal 80 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: government and during an abortion process sell the baby body parts. 81 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: That is an inflammatory statement. Twitter got that part of 82 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: it right. However, Twitter went ahead and blocked the video 83 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: as an online add but Senator Blackman was still permitted 84 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: to post it under campaign's Twitter account. In another political 85 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: job by Twitter, the company suspended President Trump's official reelection 86 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: campaign account, Team Trump on August sixth after it posted 87 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: a tweet containing a video equip from a Fox and 88 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: Friends interview with the President where he explained that children 89 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: should return to school because they are quote almost immune 90 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: to the coronavirus. A Twitter spokesperson said in a statement 91 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: that the president's comments were a quote in violation of 92 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,559 Speaker 1: the Twitter rules on COVID nineteen misinformation. The account's owner 93 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: will be required to remove the tweet before they can 94 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: tweet again. Yet, according to article and the Federalist quote, 95 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: the Center for Disease Controls Weekly COVID view surveillance report 96 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: and multiple international studies have found the children are overwhelming 97 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: lad they're asymptomatic to the Wuhan coronavirus or experience only 98 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: mild infections. In recent months, the companies continued to intensify 99 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: its attacks against the President and his allies. During the 100 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter protests within our nation's capital, President Trump 101 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: and a show of law and order, tweeted the following 102 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: on June twenty third, quote, there will never be an 103 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: autonomous zone in Washington, DC as long as I'm your president. 104 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: If they try, they will be met with serious force. 105 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: Ut quote. The President posted the statement following the vandalism 106 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: with Saint John's Episcopal Church and the attempt at toppling 107 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: by demonstrators of Andrew Jackson's statue in Lafayette Squire. Twitter responded, 108 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: placing a public interest notice over it that read quote 109 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: this tweet violated the Twitter rules about abusive baby. Although 110 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Twitter did not remove the President's tweet, it did limit engagements, 111 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: only allowing users to retweet with comments. In a similar case, 112 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: Representative Matt Gets apparently violated Twitter's policy on quote glorifying 113 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: violence after posting a tweet in early June calling Antifa 114 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: protesters terrorists, asking quote, can we hunt them down like 115 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: we do those in the Middle East. Again, Twitter did 116 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: not formally remove the tweet, however, users were required to 117 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: click past the company's disclaimer to view it. Finally, our 118 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: neighbors to the north have been dealing with their own 119 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: bout of cancel culture. Former Canadian Cabinet minister Stockwell Day 120 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: stepped down as a commentator for saying during a panel 121 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: debate on the show Power and Politics, the most Canadians 122 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: are our racist we said, quote we have to recognize 123 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: that our system is not perfect in Canada. Yes, there's 124 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: a few idiot racist hanging around the Canada is not 125 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: a racist country and most Canadians are not racist. In 126 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: our system that always needs to be improved, is not 127 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: systemically racist post quote McMillan LLP, where Day was a 128 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: strategic advisor prior to his resignation at the following the 129 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: Sey quote ad cmillan, LLLP, we believe that systemic racism 130 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: is real in the Columbia Address when each of us, 131 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: as individuals and organizations commits to me quote change yesterday. 132 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Stockwell Day made comments during a televised interview the run 133 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Counter to this view quote. They apologized on Twitter for 134 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: his comments, However, this was not enough to prevent his 135 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: standing from mean smeared whether it's autilitarian left. As these 136 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: examples are show, there are those in public office still 137 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: fighting to have their voices heard. However, as a July 138 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: national survey by the Cato Institution found quote, nearly two 139 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: thirds sixty two percent of Americans say the political climate 140 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: these days prevents them from saying things they believe because 141 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: others might find them offensive. The share of Americans whose 142 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: self censor has risen several points since twenty seventeen, when 143 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of Americans agreed with this statement. In addition, 144 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: nearly thirty two percent of employeed Americans worry that their 145 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: political views would affect their ability to find and retain 146 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: a job. Unfortunately, those are just a few examples of 147 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: how the radical left is imposing us to tolitarian control 148 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: over government and punishing those elected officials and others who 149 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: do not conform to the narrative. There are a range 150 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: of other example because of how people have lost their 151 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: jobs because of their different viewpoints, and we will get 152 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: to them in a series of episodes.
