0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Fauci the flip Flopper. This guy is absolutely unbelievable. He

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>gets it wrong over and over, and in fact, he

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>gets what feels like promoted in the process because the

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration kept him around. I'm going to pull apart

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the nonsense today. I'm gonna make sure we all understand

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>just what has really happened here to this country because

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of the powermad lockdowners, and we can never allow this

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>to happen again. I'll get into all of that, but

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm somebody who likes things to be as convenient as

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>they possibly can because I'm very busy. I know you

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>are too. And I recently had this experience where I

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>got a delivery in New York City and it was

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>just it was the wrong thing. They sent me the

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>wrong the wrong package. And I went to the company

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>directly and I was having a text exchange in seconds

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and we got it all fixed. I didn't have to

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>wait on customer service hole, I didn't have to speak

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to somebody. What's your reference number, what's your reference number?

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Five times? No, just texting, bam done fixed. That's how

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I said it right at the beginning of that's where

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>it came from. I think it was obvious to smart people.

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>That's where it came from. I have no doubt about it.

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>I had no doubt about it. I was criticized by

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the press because China has a lot of people taken

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>care of. They took care of Hunter, they took care

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of Joe, They took care of everybody, didn't they And

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>people didn't want to say China. Usually they blame it

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>on Russia. It's always Russia, Russia, Russia. But I said,

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>right at the beginning, it came out of Wuhan, and

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that's where all the deaths were. Also, by the way,

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>when we first heard about this, there were Buddy begs,

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 1>dead people laying all over Wuhan Province and that's where

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it happened to be located. So to me, it was

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>very obvious. I said it very strongly, and I was criticized,

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and now people agreeing with me. So that's okay. He

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>was right, folks. Trump was right on the Wuhan coronavirus

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>outbreak and pandemic, and the haters, the doubters, the anti

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>trumpers were wrong. Yet another one you have to add

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the list. And not only was Trump right about this

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>despite all the criticism, and but let me say many

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>people right about I always thought the lab theory was

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>more credible. It just made more sense from the very beginning.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>If it came from bats at at a wet market,

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>why weren't they all why weren't all the cases traced

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to the wet market. And if it came from bats

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>in nature, well this didn't happen where the bats live,

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>generally speaking, six hundred miles away. It just didn't add up.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>But you're concentrating bat viruses in a lab, A bunch

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of lab technicians and researchers get sick with a bat

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>based virus. This seems pretty straightforward, doesn't it. You know,

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not straightforward to people that don't really care about

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:29.239
<v Speaker 1>the truth but just want to use this for political advantage.

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:34.359
<v Speaker 1>And with that we turned to the Biden administration. Joe

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Biden and all the people around him supposed to be

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>so smart. Oh, they believe the science. That's what they

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>want you to think. They believe the science. Well, here's

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what we've since found out. Joe Biden's team shut down

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:55.479
<v Speaker 1>a State Department investigation into the Wuhan laboratory as a

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.799
<v Speaker 1>source of the COVID nineteen outbreaks. According to Daily Mail,

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the distance of the investigation, run primarily out of the

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>State Department's Arms Control and Verification Bureau, had not previously

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>been known, nor had the Biden administration's actions. The revelations

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>will lead to uncomfortable hit n't say allegations for Biden

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that his team politicized the public health effort and harmed

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the nation by shutting down a useful inquiry begun by

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>his predecessor. The decision to terminate the inquiry was made

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>after Biden officials were briefed on the team's draft findings

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>in February and March of this year. According to a

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>State Department spokesperson, investigation was shut down because the Biden

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>team had doubts about the legitimacy of the findings. Those

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>involved have told journalists that the questioning of their evidence

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>was unfair and unwarranted, and they had been objective Oh,

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>so this is the Biden team coming in the flax

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>for mister magoo. Biden coming in and saying no, no, no, no,

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>shut down that investigation into the Wuhan Institute of Virology

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>as the basis for the whole pandemic, I mean, as

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 1>the place where the outbreaks started. Shut it down, or

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>because the findings were being so politicized. If that were true,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>why didn't we know about this? If that were the case,

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>why don't they make the findings public. Let's let the

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 1>people decide who was politicizing this, folks. The mentality that

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats have these scorched earth anything for power principles

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to stand in the way. Mentality isn't applicable

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to just certain hot button topics. This is not something

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that occurs occasionally on the left. This is their approach

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to everything. And we all know that it was very

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>politicized that Donald Trump was the guy saying, hold on

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a second, this virus came from China. This is because

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of what the country that he was willing to confront

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in a way that other presidents before him had not.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>This is because of what China's recklessness and deception led to.

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>He keeps saying this, and sure enough, that meant that

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Democrats had to push in the opposite direction. That meant

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that Democrats had to take the position insisted that they

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>must take the position that this was not true. Oh okay,

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought on something like this, when it comes to

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a pandemic that's killed millions of people around the world,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that infected hundreds of millions, perhaps even it will end

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>up being a few billion people getting it infected with this,

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll never really we'll never know the full number, but

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>when you look at asymptomatic cases and transmission all over

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the world, it's certainly hundreds of millions of cases. With

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>that as the situation, couldn't we expect that partisanship wouldn't

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>rule the day, Not with Democrats. Oh no, the Biden

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>team shut this down. Just imagine for a second that

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration came into office during a pandemic, or

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>even even make it simpler, imagine Trump won a second

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>term and it came out that he shut down an

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>investigation into the origins of COVID nineteen because some of

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>his political appointees didn't really like what the findings were.

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>That would be the top news story all across the country,

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and you'd have libs shrieking he didn't follow the science.

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>They'd be completely losing their minds. Fauci would be on TV,

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, more than he already is, if that's even

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>humanly possible. It always followed a science, and it was

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>troubling that the data was not allowed to direct the

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>observation of the you know, that's what we would be hearing.

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But because the Biden team did it, it's yeah, you

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>know the Stummig deal. Oh, speaking of the Fouch he's

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>wrong again, He's wrong again. How many times does this

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>guy get to be incorrect? How many times does he

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>get to say something that he has to change his

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>tune on? A week later, a month later, again in

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the Daily Mail quote, Fauci defended the United States modest

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and very respectable, very very respective. This is the most

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>respectable funding of the Wuhan Laboratory, which is now the

0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 1>center of speculation as a possible source the COVID nineteen virus.

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Fauci appeared before a congressional buddy a budget committee on

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday defended allocating six hundred thousand dollars through a group

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>called Eco Health Alliance, which then paid the Wuhan Institute

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 1>of Virology to study the risk that backed coronaviruses could

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>infect humans. Under the terms of the funding, the money

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.599
<v Speaker 1>could not be spent on gain of function research, a

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>controversial practice which explores how viruses mutate and become more

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>transmissible or more dangerous. End quote. Oh, isn't that so cute?

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the Chinese institute was really worried about what

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of research they were going to do with the

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>money that taxpayers from the US we're sending them. I'm

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sure we could trust them on that, because when you're

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:59.599
<v Speaker 1>talking about transparency, truth and accountability government backed institutions in

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm the top of the list. Baby, Yeah, that's right,

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the gold standard of honesty. Sure, sure they are. Yeah,

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>this is all looking like the people who were right

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>from the beginning. Now we're in a position to say,

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>not only were we right about the Wuhan coronavirus origins,

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>but also we've been right about lockdowns, about masks, about

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>so much here and oh, one more thing before I

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>get to more more in depth analysis of the of

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the latest Fauci flip flop. I just read read a

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>story today about how there is a new study out

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>They looked at seventy five people, so it's not a

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>large study, but a new study, and it said that

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 1>those who have people even who had low levels of

0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a coronavirus and COVID nineteen infection, had anti bodies for

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 1>at least at least eight months and as long as

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>eleven months detectable antibodies. Now that doesn't even cover t

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.959
<v Speaker 1>seal immunity, but detectable antibodies. They believe it's not just

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 1>about the blood, but in fact antibodies that emerge from

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the bone marrow. Now, I bring this up because they're

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>they're once again telling everybody, including the recovered, go get

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.079
<v Speaker 1>the shot. Go get the shot. It's so much better.

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And I've been telling you they don't know that. They

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know. There's something called an amnestic immune response, which

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>often happens from recovery from natural infection. An immune response

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>would cover things like, you know, if you if you

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 1>get a virus once that you later on come into

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>contact with many years later, your body can actually still

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>deal with it at an elevated level, conferring lifelong immunity

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>in many cases. Is there an amnastic response for COVID nineteen.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 1>The answer they don't know. But just as what they've

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>done with the investigation into the origins of COVID nineteen,

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just as what they've done on masking and everything else,

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>they don't have answers. They don't have the data to

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>prove what they say they can, and so their response

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>is shut up and do what you're told. I say

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>enough of that. We had a big scare with saws

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Coovie one back in two thousand and two two thousand

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and three, where that particular virus unquestionably went from a

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>bat to an intermediate host to start an epidemic and

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a pandemic that resulted in eight thousand cases in close

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>to eight hundred deaths. It would have been almost a

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>dereliction of our duty if we didn't study this. And

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the only way you can study these things is you've

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.839
<v Speaker 1>got to go where the action is. So I often say,

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>somewhat tongue in cheek, you don't want to study bats

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>in Fairfax County, Virginia to find out what the animal

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.719
<v Speaker 1>human interface is that might lead to a jumping of species.

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 1>So we had a modest collaboration with very respectable Chinese

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>scientist to a world experts on coronavirus and we did

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that through a sub grant from a larger grant to

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Eco Health. The subgrant was about six hundred thousand dollars

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>over a period of five years, so it was a

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>modest amount, and the purpose of it was to study

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the animal human interface, to do surveillance, and to determine

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>if these bat viruses were even capable of transient infection

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to humans. That's a very long way of the FOUCH

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that, yes, in fact, the US government, through a subgrant,

0:14:54.760 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>did fund research on bat viruses in Wuhan, China. Do

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you recall how indignant he was? How dare you he

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 1>was basically saying to Senator rand Paul on this one,

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>do you recall how outraged the FOUCH was over that?

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>And now here he is, You know, you don't want

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to study bats in Fairfax, Virginia, you want to do

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 1>it in Wuhan. Hm. Really, So there was research going

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>on there that was funded by US taxpayer dollars. That's

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>not a conspiracy theory. That's not something that was just

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>dreamed up on some blog somewhere. And we're supposed to

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>believe that Fouci still has credibility on any of these issues.

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Why should anyone listen to this clown at all anymore?

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>That's my honest question for you. Why should anyone, in fact,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>why should he keep his job? Senator Rand Paul once again,

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>as he has done many times here thanks we have

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>somebody in the Senate who loves liberty, believes in the Constitution,

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and has an MD to challenge the little lab coat,

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Tyrant Fauci. Here's Rand Paul on how this never should

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>have happened. It absolutely should not have occurred, and play

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>clip two. We may never know whether the pandemic arose

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>from the lab in Wuhan, but we do know that

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>so far, no intermediate animal host has been discovered. Thousands

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>of animals at the wet market have been looked at,

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>none of them have carried COVID nineteen. We've tried to

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>infect COVID nineteen into bats. It doesn't grow well in bats.

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>It seems most adapted and suitable for humans. We may

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>not know whether this ever arose out of a Wuhan lab,

0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>but I think gain of function research where we take

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a deadly virus, sometimes much more deadly than COVID, and

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>then we increase its transmissibility to mammals is wrong. In

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen, NIH stopped all of this research. I'm using

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the same definition to say any gain of function research

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 1>should not be funded in China with US taxpayer dollars,

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.199
<v Speaker 1>and I recommend it. Yes, thank you. Any problem with that?

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Any want to take the opposite point of view, given

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 1>what we've just gone through around the world and here

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>at home in America, anybody think that that's a strange

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 1>thing for Senator Ran Paul to be suggesting at this

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 1>point he has been right. He was right on the

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>theatrics of Fauci wearing masks, and it is not, sir,

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>it is the science. It's the science because there could

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 1>be droplets coming out of my mouth and those droplets

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>are being stuck in the mask. Yeah. Sure, that's worked

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.399
<v Speaker 1>so well, hasn't it. It just shut down the virus

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>all across the country. All the mask wearing we were

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>doing pure idiocy. Here people are still wearing masks in

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>my gym as of yesterday, ten people in the gym

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. I'm the only one not wearing

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>a mask. And I'm proud to saying that somebody has

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 1>taken down the you must wear a mask signs in there.

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who it is. There's some anti mask

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>bandit who has been pulling down I don't know. I

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>mean maybe I know, but I don't know. Can either

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>confirm nor deny that someone is pulling down the mask

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>signs in the gym in my apartment building, which you

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 1>know is a pretty big gym actually because it's a

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>large building. And those those folks who go in, they

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 1>still mask up. They're on the treadmill, dry heaving into

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>their mask on their face because they think I'm big.

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking the virus seriously because I'm listening to Fauci.

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I listened to Fauci. Fauci will save us. These people

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>have it's a mental illness. They've got a real problem.

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you want to say it's pandemic

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 1>PTSD or it's Fauci induced anxiety disorder, but they got

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 1>an issue. These people are vaccinated two folks. I can

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you that right now, and they're still freaked out

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.880
<v Speaker 1>about it. But we have been lied to so much.

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.199
<v Speaker 1>If anything, what this has been a massive exercise in

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:17.879
<v Speaker 1>is a reminder for everybody that credentialing or credentialed experts

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>who make policy do not necessarily make good policy. And

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>when they tell you shut up, I have a degree

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>in this, you should always always question them right away.

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? Okay? So why does that mean

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that you know more about this issue? Why does that

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.159
<v Speaker 1>mean that you're making a better judgment call about this issue.

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>That's where it really all falls apart. But FAUCI has

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>come out and said that they were there was a

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.360
<v Speaker 1>US grant and it was going to gain a function

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 1>research or I'm sorry, it was going to bat research.

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Whether there was gain a function going on or not.

0:19:55.119 --> 0:20:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Fauci does not no, So who us closer to the

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>truth this whole time, people saying that money was going

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>US taxpayer dollars were being funneled to the Wuhan lab

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 1>for a gain of function research, or people who were

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>saying that's crazy. This came from bats that live in

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>cave six hundred miles away from Wuhan, and there's no

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>intermediary species they can really find that shows where the

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 1>leap occurred. And there are people that had nothing to

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 1>do with the Wuhan wet market who were coming down

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>with this virus in considerable numbers before the major outbreak.

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Shut up and listen to Fauci, this is what it

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>turned into. We have really been separated, I mean human

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 1>beings around the world, but particularly here in America, into

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>those who think for themselves and those who must be

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a part of the herd, the massive sheep situation. That's

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 1>what has happened all over the world. You know what

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:57.320

<v Speaker 1>door moinkbox dot com, slash buck Colifi. I mean, is

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>an unjust doctrine that has been codified in statute after

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>statute that has allowed for law enforcement to operate with

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 1>callous disregard of black and brown bodies, with reckless impunity

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>for our lives without any consequences. You know, George Floyd

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 1>was brutally murdered. Why did that happen? It happened because

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>we have to affirm the fact that black lives matter.

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Because our lives have not mattered, they have not been valued.

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>There was no humanity, no grace extended or afforded to him.

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Black folks have been dehumanized and consequently have been brutalized,

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:46.200
<v Speaker 1>survey profiled, murdered, lynch So what will be the determined

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 1>to that we have much work to do beyond just

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 1>one bill. This is the kind of anti cop rhetoric

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 1>and the dishonesty that is central to the BLM movement

0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>which has resulted in disaster for this country. I want

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone to be clear on this. I don't want there

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 1>to be any question. When you look at the data,

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 1>you look at the timeline of the last twelve months

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 1>in America, BLM has resulted in a massive spike in

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>homicides and shootings across America. More people are dead, more

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>families are shattered because of the narrative that is being

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>pushed here by people like Congresswoman Pressley qualified immunity for example,

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's just take a look at qualified immunity. Okay, they

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>say it is a racist doctrine on the left. Well, no,

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:42.439
<v Speaker 1>it's actually a very straightforward doctrine established back in nineteen

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven by the Supreme Court, and there are many

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 1>statutes that codify it. It protects state and local officials,

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>including police officers, from personal liability unless they have violated

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>clearly established statutory or constitutional rights. So what this means,

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it's very straightforward. But the left relies on ignorance and emotion,

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>especially around the racist cops lie. Our cops are not racist.

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm sick of this crap. Our cops are not racist.

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 1>You know it, I know it. Thanks to our cops.

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:28.360
<v Speaker 1>We live in a very large and very complicated country

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>where people, mostly in their day to day are doing

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>really well and safe. And you know it's not the purge,

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>so thank you for that. But the lies continue anyway.

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Qualified immunity. Let's take a look at this for a moment.

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 1>If you got rid of qualified immunity, what it would

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>mean is that a person I get arrested by a cop,

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I can sue the cop personally in court and say

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that he was you know, that he was rough with me,

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that he violated my rights in some way, and he's

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>got to go defend himself in court personally. And if

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:15.400
<v Speaker 1>he were to lose, he loses his house, he loses

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:19.919
<v Speaker 1>his pension, you know, he loses his bank account. What

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 1>qualified immunity does is it says, hold on a second,

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't even drag a cop into court personally if

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>he's acting within good faith in his job. Now, if

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a cop pulls me out of a car for no

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:39.199
<v Speaker 1>reason and handcuffs me and then you know, breaks my

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:43.479
<v Speaker 1>kneecap with his nightstick for fun, and it's all on video,

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and he clearly violated my rights in this process. Qualified

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>immunity can be waived by the department, and it often is.

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:56.119
<v Speaker 1>But you see, I can't do what the Left wants

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do, which is, if nothing has

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no violation of my rights, drag a cop into

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>court and see what I can get think of all

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the ambulance chasing lawyers that would want to take this

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.160
<v Speaker 1>one up the way that they would try to exploit

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the cries of racism and police to try to try

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>to get a jury to go along with Oh, well,

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.359
<v Speaker 1>even if the cops seemed like he was doing a

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>good doing his job lawfully and within the scope of

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:30.560
<v Speaker 1>his authority, acting in good faith, we're gonna We're gonna

0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:32.879
<v Speaker 1>sue him. Anyway. Maybe the jury will decide, you know,

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 1>this is a makeup call. You'll start getting all these

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>makeup call juries. Well, they'll say, well, this cop didn't

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>do it. But there's listen to what Aana Pressley says

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 1>in Congress, all the racism, all the evil from law enforcement.

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>This is so divisive and destructive, and it's actually not

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:55.400
<v Speaker 1>reflective of what the American people overwhelmingly believe about their

0:27:55.440 --> 0:28:00.919
<v Speaker 1>cops and about each other. America is not a country

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that is the shining example of racism. America as a

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>country where it's a very diverse country, more so than

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 1>any other country even close to its size in the world.

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>America is a very diverse country where we treat each

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 1>other with respect and dignity, overwhelmingly, and we see each

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>other as Americans, and instead of celebrating that greatness, instead

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of celebrating where we are as a country, the left

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>just seeks to exaggerate our faults and tear us down.

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you've ever been in a relationship, a

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>personal relationship where somebody exaggerates the faults of the other person,

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look at the whole reality of it, but looks

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>at just small things. This can manifest through nagging, This

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 1>can manifest through being hypercritical it. You'll destroy the relationship.

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you have to remember if somebody you know, if

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 1>your wife is kind and loyal and honest, and you

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>know family first, but all you do is say, you know, honey,

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you know your food, you're you're really your cooking really

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 1>isn't that good? You know? And your cooking actually represents

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>your lack of interest in this relationship in fact, because

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not a better cook. I can't believe that you

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 1>even take this relationship seriously. You can destroy anything by

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>exaggerating imperfection, by lacking context, by lacking proportionality, to destroy

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>any relationship, destroy any business arrangement, anything. So this is

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is central by the way to the whole

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Marxist ethos, which is to look at inequality in human

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>existence and pretend that it is the result of nothing

0:29:54.240 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>but systemic, systemic forces of oppression, not luck, not life

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.719
<v Speaker 1>is unfair, but we do the best we can, and

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 1>we have laws that are supposed to treat people and

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>seek to treat people equally. And we are not all

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>equal in gifts, talents, abilities, work, ethic We're not, and

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>so there's not going to be equal outcomes. But instead

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of that perspective, you see, what the left provides is

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the exaggeration of a deficiency and really a maniacal fixation

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>on deficiency to create the crack in the dam, to

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>bring the whole thing down. That's what they're doing. This

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>is how Marxists use class warfare and envy in the

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 1>more traditional context of Marxism. And it's how right now

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing racial division used to try to bring society down.

0:30:56.520 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>It is so reckless, it is so disgraceful, but it

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>is a central theme of democrats because unfortunately it works.

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a powerful tool. We all have envy, we all

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>have insecurities, resentments everyone, But do we control it, do

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 1>we have perspective on it? Are we honest about our

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>own roles in what frustrates us in life? Or do

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>we blame the system? Do we blame the other for

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>all the ways in which our lives are not quite

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 1>what we think we want them to be. And as

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, oftentimes when you get things in life that

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you think you really want, you find out, Yeah, I

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>just wish I'd spend more time with my kids, or

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 1>my grandkids, or my brothers or my sisters or whomever,

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 1>my best friends. I wish I had focused more on that.

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So much of I think what drives the leftist mindset

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>as well is an obsession with the superficial. Yes, of course,

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in the context of the racial Marxism that we see,

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>they're obsessed with skin color. Leftists are obsessed with it,

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>but also with this idea that if only material circumstances

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 1>changed a little bit for people, you know, if people

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>if student loan debt was erased, let's say, you know,

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>this is a big push by aoc oh, it would

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:21.640
<v Speaker 1>be life changing for the people. And I'm not saying

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 1>there aren't things you can do literally help people, and

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that you know, being out of debt isn't a good thing.

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>But if you're really looking at the macro perspective, if

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at what matters in life. I think the

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 1>leftist has the wrong focus. I think the left has

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>replaced God and a sense of the everlasting and our

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:43.240
<v Speaker 1>purpose on this earth with a devotion to the state

0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and state authority and state power. And this has played

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 1>out in other societies. This is not some crazy dream

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I've come up. But this is what you have in

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the Soviet Union before it collapsed, and to some degree

0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it's still in Russia today. This is what you have

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>in China today, the obsession with power and the elevation

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>of material and superficial things over what is really our purpose?

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>In what way do we matter in our day to

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 1>day How does the left answer those questions? What by

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>making sure that the state pays for gender affirmation surgery.

0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>That's really how we know that we've become a country

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>with actual worth. That's how we know we've become a

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>country where people have meaning in their day to day lives. Really,

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>just pick an issue, oh, where a woman has a

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 1>right to terminate or pregnancy at any point over the

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 1>course of nine months of a pregnancy, any point for

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>any reason. That's that's how we affirm, that's how we

0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>realize that we have purpose as human beings. No, I

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>think the left, unfortunately, isn't just a corruption of politics.

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a corruption of the soul. And you see this

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>with much of the rhetoric and the approach of the

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:09.120
<v Speaker 1>BLM movement. They are maligning law enforcement. They are maligning

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>those who are making sacrifices day in and day out,

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 1>who are taking risks, who are carrying a burden for

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the rest of society. And they do so to pander,

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:26.840
<v Speaker 1>They do so to fan the flames of resentment, to

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>divide society. You know, what is the left's answer in

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 1>what way do they want to build? Take more money

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>from people, spend more money, but how do they build

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:43.719
<v Speaker 1>us as human beings, as a nation as Americans? Division?

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Always division, always anger, And it's just frustrating to see

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 1>this as a person who wishes the best for this country.

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's a perfect example what I'm talking about.

0:34:57.440 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 1>This was on ABC News last night. To tweet from

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>ABC News's official account, former President Barack Obama. Since George

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Floyd's death, quote, hundreds more Americans have died in encounters

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:13.520
<v Speaker 1>with police. Parents' sons, daughter's friends taken from us far

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:17.879
<v Speaker 1>too soon. End quote. Or he said, but the last

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>year has also give us reasons to hope. Okay, so

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the full quote. All right? Are there hundreds of

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>murders by police that have occurred that we don't know about?

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Why is the former president, you know, taking special time

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:36.479
<v Speaker 1>to mourn people who were killed by law enforcement when

0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 1>let's live in reality, a vast majority of those people

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 1>were killed in justified shootings, meaning they were trying to

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>kill somebody or in the act of committing a violent felony,

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 1>often against a police officer, but sometimes against just the

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:57.720
<v Speaker 1>innocent bystanders. Why is Barack Obama focusing on this because

0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to dig into it a little bit. Otherwise

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you just hear, yeah, cops kill the hundreds of more people.

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>They're terrible. Cops are so racist. Barack Obama gross and

0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 1>reckless and misleading pandering, which is really an Obama specialty.

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>If he thinks that police have committed hundreds of unpunished

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.800
<v Speaker 1>murders in the last year, he should say so instead

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of being an intellectual coward. That's part of why we

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:30.400
<v Speaker 1>want a bipartisan bill that is supported by most Americans.

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>In this country. This country should be united behind police reform.

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.240
<v Speaker 1>This is not anti police, This is just pro people

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:41.320
<v Speaker 1>pro policing. This is about constitutional policing in the United

0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>States of American. That African Americans and other minorities should

0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.359
<v Speaker 1>not be fearful of interactions with the police, and they

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>should leave those interactions alive and able to go home

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to their families. And we think that that is a

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>message that the entire country can get behind. And if

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:58.919
<v Speaker 1>the entire country is behind it, like we think they are,

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>then we can make sure we pass this on a

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 1>bipartisan basis and hurry up and get this done so

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that we can move this country forward and protect human life.

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.400
<v Speaker 1>How about this as a message for the whole country,

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a message for all of us. Don't commit violent felonies,

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>don't resist arrest. And you have about as much reason

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to fear law enforcement statistically as you do being killed

0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:30.239
<v Speaker 1>by a deer coming through your windshield while you're driving

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:37.000
<v Speaker 1>down the road. Not saying it never happens, but you

0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:40.240
<v Speaker 1>know it's a few dozen people a year. Maybe don't

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 1>don't do those don't commit a violent felony, Okay, which

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:45.839
<v Speaker 1>is a fair ask. I think of all of us

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:50.759
<v Speaker 1>no violent felonies. Don't resist arrest when the cops say

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:53.799
<v Speaker 1>you're under arrest. This would be good messaging. When the

0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 1>police say are under arrest, everyone in schools across the

0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>country should be told guys, when that happens, it's it's

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>game over. Take it up in court, hands behind your back,

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:07.799
<v Speaker 1>be polite, don't say a word, get in the back

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of the car, go to the police precinct. If someone

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>does that, I don't care what color they are or

0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in anything else. If someone does that and a police

0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:23.279
<v Speaker 1>officer then decides to man handle them, hurt them, abuse them,

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm gonna be at the front of the line

0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>saying that officer needs to lose his badge and go

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to prison. We can't have that crap. But let's let's

0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 1>set some real standards here, because here's here's the reality

0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of law enforcement in America today. All right. And I

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>saw it up close as somebody who is you know,

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I was in the MYPD, but I was really a

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 1>civilian counter terrorism expert. I was kind of almost like

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 1>like an in house academic slash former or spy. I

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't really a you know, I wasn't a cop, but

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I was with cops all day, and I was doing

0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:59.279
<v Speaker 1>surveillance with them and out with them, and I saw

0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement up close end personal. You know, it's like

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:05.319
<v Speaker 1>the equivalent of doing an eighteen month ride along. In

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:10.919
<v Speaker 1>many ways, our cops are good people. Our cops are

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:17.520
<v Speaker 1>doing a good job. And there's the reality is that

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:22.560
<v Speaker 1>some federal bill is not going to change the abernt

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 1>events where you have a bad cop doing bad things.

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna make any difference. We have all the

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 1>laws on the books really that we need when it

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:34.759
<v Speaker 1>comes to you know, state and local law enforcement and

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the way that they're conducting themselves. I think our cops

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.399
<v Speaker 1>are good. You know. It's it's like if you're looking

0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>at if you're looking at a professional sports league, do

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 1>we need a massive transformation of the rule book or

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>is the league working out and the rules we have

0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 1>are good. It doesn't mean that there aren't sometimes people

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 1>that need to be suspended or kicked out of the league.

0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I think our cops are doing a good job, and

0:39:57.080 --> 0:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>in fact, they were doing a better job before BLM

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.239
<v Speaker 1>said they were doing a bad job. The violence needs

0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:05.239
<v Speaker 1>to stop. It's unacceptable. People deserve to feel safe in

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>their neighborhood. They deserve to be able to send their

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>kids out to the sidewalk to play and to recreate

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:12.720
<v Speaker 1>without bullets flying by. That's unacceptable. We should be holding

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:14.920
<v Speaker 1>those perpetrators accountable, and it's going to take a very

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.440
<v Speaker 1>comprehensive effort. Yes, it includes safety beyond policing, and it

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>includes police. And you know, I'm one that has been

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:25.080
<v Speaker 1>working lockstep with our chief are Adondo, and I'm calling

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:26.799
<v Speaker 1>on the council members to try to work with them

0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:29.440
<v Speaker 1>as well. It's just the reality of the situation. You know,

0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 1>when you make big overarching statements that we're going to

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>defund or abolish and dismantle the police department and get

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 1>rid of all the officers, there's an impact to that,

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and there's an impact. Do we need massive change, Yes

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:44.320
<v Speaker 1>we do. We need accountability and culture shift within our department.

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:50.320
<v Speaker 1>End when your police walls don't work was the dumbest

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>slogan the Democrats ever had. And then defund the police

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 1>came along took the number one spot. That was Minneapolis

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Jacob Fry, who is admitting, I mean he's trying

0:41:03.000 --> 0:41:06.840
<v Speaker 1>to soft pedal it a little bits. He's trying to

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:11.600
<v Speaker 1>downplay it but admitting that. Yet there's been a huge

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 1>spiking crime in Minneapolis and it's a disaster and it

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:21.960
<v Speaker 1>is directly related to the defund the police narrative. Is

0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:27.040
<v Speaker 1>this a surprise to anybody? Does anyone find this information

0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 1>out and go, oh, my gosh, You mean getting rid

0:41:30.600 --> 0:41:35.680
<v Speaker 1>of law enforcement resources and personnel and undermining police in

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:37.840
<v Speaker 1>their jobs and making it harder for them to do

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>their jobs. You mean that results in bad people doing

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>bad things even more so. But wait a second. I

0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:53.680
<v Speaker 1>thought by constantly be rating and maligning law enforcement, we

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:57.440
<v Speaker 1>were going to make our streets safer. I thought we'd

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:01.879
<v Speaker 1>make them safer if we're oh oh, nobody really thought that.

0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:09.239
<v Speaker 1>But there are all these other things brought into the conversation.

0:42:09.320 --> 0:42:13.760
<v Speaker 1>All these other ideas get mixed into this, and that's

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:16.400
<v Speaker 1>how you get to a place where defund the police

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 1>is a mainstream chant because it's not about safety, it's

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 1>about social justice. It's not about making sure that cops

0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are accountable. It's creating a narrative of why there is

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:38.400
<v Speaker 1>crime in some communities that law enforcement seems unable to lower,

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That why there are some parts of the country where

0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 1>there's violence going on it has nothing to do with

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:48.000
<v Speaker 1>people making decisions in those communities. It is the cops fault,

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's very comforting for people's that's something that they

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.360
<v Speaker 1>want to hear. They'd rather believe that it's the cops

0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:03.840
<v Speaker 1>than that it's the breakdown of families, otherlessness, drug abuse, victimology, narratives,

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:06.840
<v Speaker 1>any of these things through all over the country is

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 1>true in any high crime community. It is a preferable

0:43:09.880 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 1>thing for a lot of the activists, leftists and Democrats

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to hear that cops are the problem. This is a

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>huge distraction and this is a this is a lie,

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:26.919
<v Speaker 1>but it's one that has gained mainstream traction all over

0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat party. And everyone should be really really disgusted

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:36.360
<v Speaker 1>by this because this is not just something that happens

0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that we can say, all right, you know, maybe the

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:40.800
<v Speaker 1>tax rate shouldn't have gone up, maybe maybe we slowed

0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:43.320
<v Speaker 1>some economic growth a little bit with that tax increase.

0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:47.360
<v Speaker 1>This is people getting shot and killed in greater numbers.

0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:55.040
<v Speaker 1>This comes with real consequences for people who are relying

0:43:55.880 --> 0:44:00.160
<v Speaker 1>on sound judgment, which is always a risky proposition from

0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the elites and the people in power, and what they

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 1>get in return, what they get in response is just

0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 1>utterly incompetent nonsense. I mean, the defund the police movement

0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:20.400
<v Speaker 1>is is an abomination. It really is. It's a horrible idea.

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 1>And you've got the mayor of Minneapolis who is straight

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:24.759
<v Speaker 1>up saying, yeah, maybe we've been a little too far

0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:29.280
<v Speaker 1>with this. People should be embarrassed. They should there's there's

0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:32.680
<v Speaker 1>shame attached to this. They there should be a real

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sense of, uh, you know, people, we should be indignant

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:42.319
<v Speaker 1>about it. It's so obvious, but we had to go

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:44.439
<v Speaker 1>through a year of this before all. It turns out

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:46.520
<v Speaker 1>if you, you know, get rid of cops and cut

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:49.919
<v Speaker 1>the budget, you know, things get worse. Of course they do.

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Some people know that this was the wrong move all along,

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and some states are taking action in the right direction

0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:02.280
<v Speaker 1>all the moment. Tom is with places like Florida and Texas,

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:09.359
<v Speaker 1>red states with Republican governors. That's where it feels like

0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 1>good decisions, at least for large states, good decisions are

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:17.680
<v Speaker 1>being made. Blue states are just hemorrhaging people. They're a mess.

0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Texas Governor Greg Abbott's out there just saying, look, we're

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:26.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna take action against cities at the state level. We

0:45:26.280 --> 0:45:32.839
<v Speaker 1>will take action against cities that defund police. Play five. Well,

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the reason it's stronger is because, as you pointed out,

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to sign a law that will ensure that

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>cities in the State of Texas will not be able

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to defund police. First, the context, and that is that

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:48.239
<v Speaker 1>you pointed out what's going on in Minneapolis or it

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 1>is both a tragedy and a disaster. What's going on

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>for the residents of Minneapolis because of the defunding of police.

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And you've seen the same thing and Portland and Seattle

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:01.879
<v Speaker 1>and Chicago and New York, etc. Harris, Unfortunately, we had

0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the same thing happened here in the State of Texas

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 1>where the city of Austin defunded police, which is why

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you saw that tragic situation reported in Austin, Texas, and

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:14.680
<v Speaker 1>because Austin defundi police. We wanted to do two things

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:17.880
<v Speaker 1>in this session. One, we wanted to make sure that

0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:20.280
<v Speaker 1>there were going to be consequences for the city of Austin.

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:22.799
<v Speaker 1>The second is we wanted to make sure that no

0:46:22.960 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 1>other city in the state of Texas would defund police.

0:46:26.680 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's what we're doing in the State of Texas

0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to put teeth into this law that provides real consequences

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:36.680
<v Speaker 1>for cities that do defund the police. One, We're going

0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to dry up their revenue sources in a way that

0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:43.240
<v Speaker 1>basically will put the city out of business. What happens

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is a residency. We're going to defund the city, defund

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the city if they defund the police. This is the

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:57.360
<v Speaker 1>public safety measure. It's the kind of action that needs

0:46:57.440 --> 0:47:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to be taken. This is what people should expect. Well,

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:04.360
<v Speaker 1>they should demand that this happens. I mean, I was

0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:08.040
<v Speaker 1>in Austin some weeks ago, maybe about a month ago now,

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and I met with a member of the only Republican

0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 1>member of the Austin City Council and she walked me

0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:15.560
<v Speaker 1>through it took me through city Hall in Austin and

0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:18.640
<v Speaker 1>also talked to me all about the crime situation there

0:47:18.680 --> 0:47:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and how things have gotten much worse and quality of

0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:26.359
<v Speaker 1>life is going down. Vagrancy is going up, assaults going up,

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of criminal offenses on the rise. They cut

0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the police budget over one hundred million dollars. Why should

0:47:35.120 --> 0:47:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the police budget in Austin be cut over one hundred

0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:43.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars because one cop killed George Floyd in Minneapolis?

0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, can you imagine for a second, if we

0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:50.960
<v Speaker 1>if the response after sometimes, for there'll be someone in

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the military who, over the course of fighting a war,

0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 1>they'll kill a civilian in a way that under UCMJ

0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:02.600
<v Speaker 1>is a murder, and that will happen. Would anyone say, oh, well,

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 1>there's one guy who snapped and kill the civilian while

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:11.799
<v Speaker 1>in uniform in the military, so let's defund the military.

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Now that that would be crazy. But it's very much

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:19.280
<v Speaker 1>what goes on here with the defund the police movement.

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:23.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm happy to see Governor Abbott, Governor DeSantis, people

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:28.319
<v Speaker 1>that are in charge of large states making sure that

0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:30.759
<v Speaker 1>that they're doing everything they can to just stamp out

0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this nonsense. Just get rid of this craziness. It's just

0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:38.719
<v Speaker 1>not I mean to say, it's not helpful, as is

0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a real understatement. It's not sane, it's not reasonable. This

0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:46.960
<v Speaker 1>was never a good idea, and we've already seen what

0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it results. We've done the experiment. We shouldn't have had to,

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:53.480
<v Speaker 1>but we've done the experiment, we've seen the results, and

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:55.839
<v Speaker 1>they show us that defund the police, as I've said,

0:48:55.880 --> 0:49:00.759
<v Speaker 1>is perhaps the dumbest Democrats slogan in living memory, and

0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 1>it's got a lot of competition. Well, I mean, I

0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:06.359
<v Speaker 1>think that the party has been completely taken over, and

0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I know that a lot of people had hoped that

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:12.879
<v Speaker 1>once Trump had left Washington that maybe they would get

0:49:12.920 --> 0:49:15.680
<v Speaker 1>their party back. Clearly that is not the case. And

0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:18.239
<v Speaker 1>so there's only a couple of directions to go here.

0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Either the party is reformed or a new party is created.

0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:25.879
<v Speaker 1>And so we will see. But the impact as long

0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:28.279
<v Speaker 1>as you have a network that continues to be the

0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:32.920
<v Speaker 1>mouthpiece that continues to spread just tremendous lies about everything

0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:35.960
<v Speaker 1>under the sun. I mean, people still believing that the

0:49:36.000 --> 0:49:40.800
<v Speaker 1>election was stolen, people still trying to investigate the election.

0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:43.880
<v Speaker 1>So with all of that going on, it doesn't surprise me.

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:47.480
<v Speaker 1>But joy one thing that's different now since January sixth

0:49:48.000 --> 0:49:52.040
<v Speaker 1>my Republican colleagues who know better, but they are still

0:49:52.080 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 1>beholden because they are afraid. In the past, they were

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:59.719
<v Speaker 1>afraid of a primary opponent. Now they're afraid for their

0:49:59.760 --> 0:50:05.480
<v Speaker 1>se and that's a profound change. That's very frightening. Oh

0:50:05.560 --> 0:50:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Let's take advice from a left wing member

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:13.160
<v Speaker 1>of Congress on what's going well, or let's take the

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:15.439
<v Speaker 1>analysis of a left wing member of Congress on what's

0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:18.000
<v Speaker 1>happening within the GOOP now, because she really wants what's

0:50:18.040 --> 0:50:20.759
<v Speaker 1>best for the GOP, as I'm sure you already know,

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:24.960
<v Speaker 1>she really wants to see a Republican party that's united

0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:29.120
<v Speaker 1>and strong and sure all that you know, this is

0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:35.839
<v Speaker 1>now the focus on the deficiencies of the GOP, whether

0:50:35.880 --> 0:50:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it's the GOP voter or GEOPE politicians. This is going

0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:44.400
<v Speaker 1>to become a deafeningly loud narrative from the corporate Democrat

0:50:44.480 --> 0:50:49.759
<v Speaker 1>media because Biden is a loser and the Democrats are

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:53.839
<v Speaker 1>a disaster at governing. We all see it. They're not

0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:57.520
<v Speaker 1>good at this. Their ideas are bad. And so what

0:50:57.680 --> 0:50:59.600
<v Speaker 1>is their response you'll get from the people in charge?

0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:04.560
<v Speaker 1>You think they'll have introspection and self correction or will

0:51:04.600 --> 0:51:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they just double down on all the things that haven't

0:51:07.040 --> 0:51:12.719
<v Speaker 1>worked before, either in recent or distant memory, and find

0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:15.719
<v Speaker 1>a way to make this about the insurrection on January sixth,

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh the insurrection. Yeah, it was the most terrifying thing

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to happen in this country since the Civil War. I mean,

0:51:22.440 --> 0:51:25.960
<v Speaker 1>this stuff that's being said about it is appalling. But

0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:28.759
<v Speaker 1>they're okay, So now there's the insurrection. These are the

0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:33.080
<v Speaker 1>primary Democrat talking points, the insurrection, the threat of white

0:51:33.160 --> 0:51:35.719
<v Speaker 1>nationalist terrorism. Right, there's all these things they say, But

0:51:36.120 --> 0:51:43.040
<v Speaker 1>there's also the oh, GOP members don't accept the results

0:51:43.200 --> 0:51:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of the election. They don't accept the results of the election.

0:51:46.200 --> 0:51:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, what are we gonna do? Meanwhile, Biden's president.

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:54.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, every the country's marching on, but they act

0:51:54.760 --> 0:52:01.399
<v Speaker 1>like there's some huge deal. Smarmy, you know, smarmy O'Donnell

0:52:01.400 --> 0:52:06.040
<v Speaker 1>over at MSNBC. He's he's getting all high and mighty

0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 1>on this one. I just want to give a important

0:52:09.120 --> 0:52:11.359
<v Speaker 1>context to what this claim is. But this is being

0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:16.640
<v Speaker 1>made all over the place by leftists that they that

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump supporters think that he won and that's so

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:23.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy and destabilizes our democracy and all this sort of stuff.

0:52:23.320 --> 0:52:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Here's that jerk O'Donnell play fourteen. Well, they definitely are

0:52:28.840 --> 0:52:32.200
<v Speaker 1>in sync with the Trump vote. We have a new

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:36.640
<v Speaker 1>poll showing that fifty three percent of Republicans fifty three

0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:41.799
<v Speaker 1>believe that Donald Trump is the true president. So that

0:52:41.840 --> 0:52:47.360
<v Speaker 1>means fifty three percent of Republicans fail a basic mental

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:51.480
<v Speaker 1>competency test question, who is the president of the United

0:52:51.520 --> 0:52:56.239
<v Speaker 1>States the true president? What they mean by what people

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:58.920
<v Speaker 1>are saying is they think that Biden gained the system

0:52:59.239 --> 0:53:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and that there was malfees into the last election. They

0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:06.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think that Donald Trump is actually in the White

0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:09.279
<v Speaker 1>House right now running things. So I mean, either the

0:53:09.320 --> 0:53:11.320
<v Speaker 1>way the way he frames this I think is absurd,

0:53:11.360 --> 0:53:16.200
<v Speaker 1>But beyond that, Democrats spent four years while Trump was

0:53:16.320 --> 0:53:20.880
<v Speaker 1>president pretending Hillary won the election and not just in

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, it wasn't just something that they told themselves

0:53:23.200 --> 0:53:27.240
<v Speaker 1>so they'd feel better about supporting Woa like the worst

0:53:27.320 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 1>human being ever to be in American politics in the

0:53:30.840 --> 0:53:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in the post World War two era, Hilary Clinton. I mean,

0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they were trying to make it seem like that was

0:53:38.040 --> 0:53:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a normal thing. And beyond that, they got a special counsel.

0:53:43.200 --> 0:53:49.759
<v Speaker 1>They took serious legal action based upon this lie that

0:53:49.800 --> 0:53:52.920
<v Speaker 1>there was Russia collusion, which was I'll never forget when

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:54.920
<v Speaker 1>President Trump told me, he actually told me this in

0:53:54.960 --> 0:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the Oval office. He's like, Russia collusion, It's such a

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:02.960
<v Speaker 1>stupid idea. It's such a dumb thing to do. Even

0:54:03.000 --> 0:54:05.840
<v Speaker 1>if somebody was willing to do it, which Donald Trump

0:54:05.920 --> 0:54:10.800
<v Speaker 1>was not, it wouldn't even make any sense. You're gonna

0:54:10.840 --> 0:54:14.280
<v Speaker 1>work with the Russians to hack in to the DNC

0:54:14.560 --> 0:54:19.719
<v Speaker 1>server so that then they can release information about how

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders was being treated badly by the DNC and

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:27.719
<v Speaker 1>expect that to throw the election. Of course, Bernie said,

0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:32.200
<v Speaker 1>we all knew Bernie Sanders was getting the rough stuff

0:54:32.200 --> 0:54:34.520
<v Speaker 1>from the DNC. We all knew that that was what happened.

0:54:34.520 --> 0:54:36.520
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't some big surprise. It was just proved it.

0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:40.879
<v Speaker 1>But Hillary was still running. There wasn't. There wasn't some

0:54:41.520 --> 0:54:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, smoking gun moment where oh, I don't know.

0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:48.399
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Hillary was completely caught breaking the law many

0:54:48.440 --> 0:54:52.640
<v Speaker 1>times over with her email sending classified over an unclassified server,

0:54:53.280 --> 0:54:57.920
<v Speaker 1>doing all kinds of really bad stuff and was bailed

0:54:57.960 --> 0:55:01.799
<v Speaker 1>out by the system because the system believes she's one

0:55:01.840 --> 0:55:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of theirs, and this system thought that she was gonna win,

0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:11.800
<v Speaker 1>so they don't want to be on the wrong side

0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:15.759
<v Speaker 1>of her either. But they spend four years pretending that

0:55:15.800 --> 0:55:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump was an illegitimate president. And what they won't

0:55:19.560 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>do is understand that now for a lot of people, yeah,

0:55:22.880 --> 0:55:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe they maybe they're not sure about some

0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of these election claims. Maybe maybe they're you know, they

0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>don't they're still waiting to see some of the evidence

0:55:31.280 --> 0:55:35.160
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, but they'll say that because what's fair is fair.

0:55:35.840 --> 0:55:39.480
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't accept ours, We won't accept yours. That's the

0:55:39.600 --> 0:55:43.799
<v Speaker 1>attitude I understand. That's how people feel about this. You know,

0:55:43.880 --> 0:55:48.120
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't accept Donald Trump's legitimacy. Well, a lot of

0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Trump voters saying they don't accept Joe Biden's legitimacy. It's

0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:57.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, reciprocity here, it's a it's a reprisal belief

0:55:57.120 --> 0:56:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in many ways, and it's just fun. I'm sure in

0:56:01.200 --> 0:56:04.040
<v Speaker 1>these polls to tell some polster you know who, then

0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:08.040
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, they're they're threatening our sacred democracy with

0:56:08.080 --> 0:56:11.960
<v Speaker 1>their ideas, you know, all that stuff. So that's something

0:56:12.000 --> 0:56:14.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, we could be focused on. The Democrats could

0:56:14.719 --> 0:56:19.640
<v Speaker 1>be focused on real problems, like spending too much money, inflation.

0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Here's say Senator Roy Blunt on how folks, this is

0:56:23.520 --> 0:56:26.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna this is not gonna end? Well, play fifteen. If

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 1>we spend seven point one trillion dollars, that adds fifty

0:56:30.200 --> 0:56:34.759
<v Speaker 1>six thousand dollars for every American family to the national debt.

0:56:35.040 --> 0:56:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Every American family can do a lot with fifty six

0:56:37.719 --> 0:56:41.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. They could send somebody to a public institution

0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:44.840
<v Speaker 1>of higher learning for about five years for fifty six

0:56:45.480 --> 0:56:49.880
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. They could make a lot of house payments

0:56:50.160 --> 0:56:54.680
<v Speaker 1>for fifty six thousand dollars. That's how much seven point

0:56:54.719 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 1>one trillion dollars would add to the balance sheet for

0:56:58.760 --> 0:57:02.200
<v Speaker 1>every single family in America. We've got to get reasonable

0:57:02.280 --> 0:57:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and real about spending or inflation will be a problem.

0:57:07.520 --> 0:57:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Government stability will be a problem, the dollar will be

0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:13.759
<v Speaker 1>a problem. And we don't want any of those things

0:57:13.800 --> 0:57:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen. We don't. But Democrats don't look into the

0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:23.400
<v Speaker 1>future and deal with reality. They see this as they're

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:27.200
<v Speaker 1>in charge. They've got power, They're going to spend your money.

0:57:27.280 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>If you've got a problem with that, they're feeling is

0:57:30.080 --> 0:57:34.800
<v Speaker 1>too bad tough for you, not something that's going to

0:57:34.880 --> 0:57:38.160
<v Speaker 1>slow them down one bit. And I just worry. This

0:57:38.240 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 1>is another instance where we're going to We're going to

0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:44.160
<v Speaker 1>find that we have to suffer the consequences. We have

0:57:44.240 --> 0:57:47.439
<v Speaker 1>to learn the hard way because Democrats refuse to learn

0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the easy way, which is through the application of logic, reason,

0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a knowledge of history. No, forget all that stuff what

0:57:54.440 --> 0:57:58.600
<v Speaker 1>feels right now, like what's best for them, that is

0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat mantra of governance. That's what they're going to

0:58:01.760 --> 0:58:04.440
<v Speaker 1>keep doing. There are a lot of VPN providers out there.

0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:06.280
<v Speaker 1>You've probably heard of a couple of them, and maybe

0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you've even used a VPN before. But I'm really into

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:11.880
<v Speaker 1>doing my research on my sponsors and on all the

0:58:11.880 --> 0:58:14.840
<v Speaker 1>companies I'm going to use. I only recommend brands to

0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:17.760
<v Speaker 1>my listeners that I use and believe in. I can

0:58:17.800 --> 0:58:21.560
<v Speaker 1>say with full confidence that Express vpn is simply the

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:25.720
<v Speaker 1>best VPN on the market. Here's why Express vpn doesn't

0:58:25.840 --> 0:58:29.480
<v Speaker 1>log your data. Lots of really cheaper, free VPNs make

0:58:29.520 --> 0:58:32.800
<v Speaker 1>money by selling your data to ad companies, and Express

0:58:32.920 --> 0:58:36.640
<v Speaker 1>vpn developed a technology called Trusted Server that makes it

0:58:36.680 --> 0:58:40.040
<v Speaker 1>impossible for their servers to log any of your info.

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Then you've got speed, another really important factor here. I've

0:58:43.360 --> 0:58:45.000
<v Speaker 1>tried a lot of VPNs in the past. A lot

0:58:45.040 --> 0:58:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of them will slow down your connection, make your device sluggish.

0:58:47.880 --> 0:58:51.360
<v Speaker 1>But with Express vpn for months now I've been using it,

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:55.160
<v Speaker 1>my internet speeds are perfect. The last thing that really

0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:58.160
<v Speaker 1>sets Express VPN apart from other VPNs how easy it

0:58:58.240 --> 0:59:00.640
<v Speaker 1>is to use. You don't have to input into a

0:59:00.720 --> 0:59:03.880
<v Speaker 1>program or anything. You just fire up the app, click

0:59:03.960 --> 0:59:07.200
<v Speaker 1>one button to connect. It's so easy even your grandparents

0:59:07.240 --> 0:59:09.160
<v Speaker 1>could use it. Or if you're a grandparent, you can

0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:11.200
<v Speaker 1>use it. Trust me, this is a VPN for you.

0:59:12.000 --> 0:59:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Protect yourself with a virtual private network that I use

0:59:15.280 --> 0:59:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and trust. This encrypts your data on your device and

0:59:19.360 --> 0:59:23.680
<v Speaker 1>prevent spying from big tech by hiding your IP address.

0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:28.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what a VPN does. You need this Express vpn

<v Speaker 1>com slash buck. That's Express vpn dot com slash buck.

0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:48.000
<v Speaker 1>What should the US government do in response to the

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:53.920
<v Speaker 1>most recent revelations about the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus

0:59:53.960 --> 0:59:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and much more? Also, what's going on with the latest

0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in terms of border policy and the second order effects

1:00:00.760 --> 1:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of it that go far beyond the actual border and

1:00:04.160 --> 1:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>border zone itself. We're joined now by Senator Marsha Blackburn

1:00:07.720 --> 1:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>from Tennessee to talk about this. Senator Blackburn, thanks thanks

1:00:10.640 --> 1:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>for being with us. I'm delighted to be wishy, thank

1:00:14.120 --> 1:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you for having me on. What are your biggest takeaways

1:00:17.080 --> 1:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>a member of the US Senate who now is going

1:00:18.960 --> 1:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to be looking at the issue of US funding through

1:00:23.040 --> 1:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>a subgrant that doctor Fauci has admitted occurred. Money went

1:00:26.880 --> 1:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>from taxpayers funneling through a third party to the Wuhan

1:00:30.120 --> 1:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Lab doing research into bat viruses. We also know that

1:00:36.560 --> 1:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Fauci has flip flopped on a number of issues and

1:00:40.800 --> 1:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>people are calling for some accountability here. What do you

1:00:44.440 --> 1:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>think should happen and do you believe that there's a

1:00:46.680 --> 1:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>role for the Senate to play? Well? I do think

1:00:50.160 --> 1:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that there is a very important role for the Senate

1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:58.919
<v Speaker 1>to play because we are responsible for this oversight and

1:00:59.320 --> 1:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>when you look at the money that when into various

1:01:03.760 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>groups that were funding at this research, and when you

1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>he will not answer the question as to whether or

1:01:14.360 --> 1:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>not there with participation in gain a function research and

1:01:19.680 --> 1:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>if that was funded during the time of the Obama administration.

1:01:24.840 --> 1:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>This is something that we do need to review. What

1:01:27.720 --> 1:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>we do know is that during Secretary Pompeio's time at

1:01:33.440 --> 1:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the Department of State that our diplomatic scientists had expressed

1:01:39.960 --> 1:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>concerns about what was happening at the Wuhan Lab. So

1:01:45.800 --> 1:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it is time for doctor Fauci to actually, you know,

1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>tell us what he's what he knows, and it is

1:01:57.400 --> 1:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>time that we began a series of investigations. If the

1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>President is going to shut down the State Department's investigation

1:02:09.480 --> 1:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>into the Wuhan lab, it's going to depend on those

1:02:13.600 --> 1:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of us in Congress to pick that up and figure

1:02:16.680 --> 1:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>out exactly what happened. We know that over a series

1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:25.959
<v Speaker 1>of decades, China took our jobs, moved our manufacturing to China,

1:02:26.320 --> 1:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>encourage US companies to become reliant on then and then

1:02:30.440 --> 1:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>what did they do? They sent us this virus, so

1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>finding out how it started, knowing if it did indeed

1:02:38.920 --> 1:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>escape from the lab through gain a function research that

1:02:44.080 --> 1:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>they were doing at that lab, this is a question

1:02:48.000 --> 1:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that needs to be answered. We also know that the

1:02:51.120 --> 1:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned that the Biden administration, there's a report

1:02:53.880 --> 1:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>out that they may have shut down or that the

1:02:56.600 --> 1:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration came in and said that State Department officials

1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>who are trying to look into and collect information about

1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>what happened with the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus, that

1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Biden said no more, that they cut this off. Well,

1:03:12.840 --> 1:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>what possible reason, Senator, could they have for doing that.

1:03:16.320 --> 1:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Aren't we all supposed to be on the same page

1:03:18.080 --> 1:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>about getting to the truth about what happened with the

1:03:20.760 --> 1:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>origins of this virus. We should all be on the

1:03:24.040 --> 1:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>same page. You can't prevent something like this from happening

1:03:28.760 --> 1:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>again if you don't know how it happened in the

1:03:31.320 --> 1:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>first place. So it is only something that would embold

1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in China. But look at Joe Biden's policy. He wants

1:03:41.120 --> 1:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to go to green energy. Okay, well, who makes solar panels? China?

1:03:46.560 --> 1:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Who makes wind turbines China, Who makes the batteries for

1:03:52.240 --> 1:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>electric cars? China? Who is it that is cornering the

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>market when it comes to manufacturing antibiotic and active pharmaceutical

1:04:05.240 --> 1:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>ingredients that are necessary for vaccine? There again, that is China.

1:04:11.400 --> 1:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>And what President Biden has done with his decisions is

1:04:16.640 --> 1:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to make decisions that are going to encourage China and

1:04:23.200 --> 1:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>then decisions that are not going to bolster US manufacturing,

1:04:28.720 --> 1:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>US research, US sovereignty. Look at the border, US protecting

1:04:35.800 --> 1:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>US citizens. Look at what happened with COVID nineteen, So

1:04:40.840 --> 1:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the priority should be protecting this country. We're speaking of

1:04:45.160 --> 1:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Senator Marcia Blackburn of Tennessee Senator, I want to ask

1:04:49.080 --> 1:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>about something going on in your home state. There reports

1:04:54.040 --> 1:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration is flying illegal alien children into Tennessee,

1:05:00.120 --> 1:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>often in the middle of the night. It seems like

1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to keep a very low profile on this

1:05:06.480 --> 1:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>without any involvement or knowledge of the community elected officials

1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>like the governor. You, as a senator for Tennessee, what

1:05:13.360 --> 1:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>can you tell us about this? And does AJHS have

1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>answers for you. HHS does not have answers. Indeed, they

1:05:21.200 --> 1:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>are avoiding answers. And in addition to the four Plaims

1:05:25.280 --> 1:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that landed at Wilson Air in the middle of the night,

1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>we talked to a Tennessee and who has He was

1:05:33.840 --> 1:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>on a flight from Dallas to Chattanooga that ended up

1:05:38.520 --> 1:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>landing at about one o'clock in the morning, and there

1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>was a chaffrone for I think ten to fifteen children

1:05:48.400 --> 1:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that were not US speaking children, They were migrant children.

1:05:52.800 --> 1:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>This individual talked to the chafferone they were going to

1:05:57.360 --> 1:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Chattanooga to go to be housed in a facility. They

1:06:02.280 --> 1:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>had new backpacks, clothes, iPhones. So this is taxpayer dollars

1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>that are being used to help the cartels finish the

1:06:14.200 --> 1:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>job that they are doing to keep to get these

1:06:18.640 --> 1:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>migrants into the country and to position them, whether it

1:06:24.880 --> 1:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>is in a shelter or sending them to a sponsor,

1:06:28.000 --> 1:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>which many times the sponsor, so called sponsor they're going to,

1:06:33.040 --> 1:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>is affiliated with a labor work crew or an MS

1:06:38.840 --> 1:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>thirteen gang, or a drug ring or a sex trafficking organization.

1:06:45.480 --> 1:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Senator Blackbird, I know you've introduced a bill recently that

1:06:48.480 --> 1:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>would try to deal with the border crisis which keeps

1:06:53.400 --> 1:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>its ongoing and actually worsening. Everyone that I've talked to

1:06:57.040 --> 1:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>down there, and I recently was at the border myself,

1:07:00.120 --> 1:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>no one thinks that this has been dealt with effectively.

1:07:02.200 --> 1:07:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Really hasn't been dealt with at all by the Biden administration.

1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris, the Vice President, and borders are has still

1:07:08.920 --> 1:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>as I speak, you yet to go down there. Can

1:07:11.280 --> 1:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you tell us about your effort to in state migrant

1:07:16.720 --> 1:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>protection protocols here? Yes, the migrant Protection protocols, This is

1:07:24.200 --> 1:07:28.200
<v Speaker 1>basically President Trump's remain in Mexico policy, and I have

1:07:28.280 --> 1:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>turned that into legislation that we are seeking co sponsors

1:07:32.720 --> 1:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>for in the Senate. We are trying to push this forward.

1:07:36.280 --> 1:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>The border Patrol regularly talks about how effective that policy

1:07:41.720 --> 1:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was because if you had people coming to the southern

1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>border and they wanted to apply for asylum, they had

1:07:50.440 --> 1:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to remain either in their home country or in Mexico

1:07:55.240 --> 1:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>until the time of that asylum hearing. Some people were

1:07:59.400 --> 1:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>granted asylum, some were sent back to their home country

1:08:03.360 --> 1:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>because the claims were not valid. Now, the Biden administration

1:08:08.080 --> 1:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>did away with that policy, and what they have done

1:08:12.320 --> 1:08:16.479
<v Speaker 1>since Joe Biden was sworn in, they have had over

1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a half million, over a half million illegal aliens approached

1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the border to claim asylum. So thereby they are having

1:08:27.479 --> 1:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to process them, which is catch and then release them

1:08:32.240 --> 1:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>into the country the release part of catch and release,

1:08:36.479 --> 1:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and then at some point in the future, maybe a

1:08:40.280 --> 1:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>year or two years, three years, they will have an

1:08:43.240 --> 1:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>asylum hearing. So this is what this is a big

1:08:48.080 --> 1:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>part of what is wrong with that process, and reinstating

1:08:53.600 --> 1:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>those protocols would be a tremendous help to our border patrol.

1:08:58.400 --> 1:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, thank you so much for

1:09:01.680 --> 1:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>joining us. We appreciate you being here. We'll talk to

1:09:03.640 --> 1:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>you soon. Thank you, bye bye. Well, listen, they're talking

1:09:07.600 --> 1:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>about it's a time for choosing. The American people have

1:09:10.200 --> 1:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>already chosen, and they showed up in unbelievable volumes that said,

1:09:15.040 --> 1:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>what we want is a president who will keep America first.

1:09:18.720 --> 1:09:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is America last. We don't have to look

1:09:21.520 --> 1:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>any further than the cancelation of the Keystone Pipeline. And

1:09:24.720 --> 1:09:26.639
<v Speaker 1>then what do they do for Russia? They take off

1:09:26.640 --> 1:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the sanctions so that they can finish their pipeline. We

1:09:30.040 --> 1:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>see surprisingly today that the Palestinians actually referred to Secretary

1:09:36.240 --> 1:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Blincoln as Secretary Clinton. Well, that's because they're reverting back

1:09:40.320 --> 1:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to a Clinton way of doing business. And what did

1:09:43.400 --> 1:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they get. What did the Biden administration do two thousand

1:09:47.160 --> 1:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>rockets into Israel? And what did they get in return?

1:09:50.280 --> 1:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>They get all kinds of concessions from the Biden administration.

1:09:53.520 --> 1:09:56.639
<v Speaker 1>That's not leadership. It's time that we can revert back

1:09:56.720 --> 1:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to what works, and that is peace through strength, a

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>oldness that President Donald Trump brought to the American people. Now,

1:10:04.120 --> 1:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that's not what Democrats want to do. Democrats would much

1:10:10.320 --> 1:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>rather do what we would all expect them to do,

1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>which is reward bad behavior, bend the knee to our enemies.

1:10:18.880 --> 1:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Just just essentially do everything in their power to make

1:10:23.720 --> 1:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>life as as difficult as possible for the bulk of

1:10:28.760 --> 1:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the American people while going around the world and trying

1:10:33.160 --> 1:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to buy off play kate and assist even palettes of

1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>cash delivered sometimes some of the worst actors on the

1:10:43.200 --> 1:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>global stage. There, he had former White House Cheep of

1:10:46.760 --> 1:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Staff Mark Meadows this saying, look, Biden takes an America

1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Last approach, and that's true that the Democrats have deeply

1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>internalized a philosophy of America is a problem and America

1:10:58.200 --> 1:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>needs to pay the price for that that we have

1:11:01.880 --> 1:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>historically and to this day oppressed other people's all over

1:11:05.680 --> 1:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the world, that we've caused instability and misery and our

1:11:11.320 --> 1:11:14.519
<v Speaker 1>imperial power. I mean, this is they don't talk about

1:11:14.520 --> 1:11:16.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the Democrat Party, but this is well,

1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>they do in some places, but this is internalized. They

1:11:20.400 --> 1:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>believe this stuff. They think the greatness of America is exaggerated,

1:11:26.040 --> 1:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>even jingoistic to talk about. Here's a Secretary of State

1:11:31.240 --> 1:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>b Lincoln who's just saying, you know, okay, well, now

1:11:35.080 --> 1:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>we're about to write a check. The American people are

1:11:37.080 --> 1:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>writing to give three hundred and sixty million dollars to

1:11:40.400 --> 1:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the Palestinian people. Play nine. We're also working in partnership

1:11:44.400 --> 1:11:49.799
<v Speaker 1>with the United Nations, the international Community, the Palestinian Authority,

1:11:49.800 --> 1:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the Palestinian people, the Government of Israel to assist in

1:11:53.640 --> 1:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>the relief and recovery efforts in Gods. This relief is urgent.

1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:05.599
<v Speaker 1>We have to respond to the profound need to help

1:12:05.640 --> 1:12:10.639
<v Speaker 1>people in this moment. To that end, I informed President

1:12:10.680 --> 1:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>of Boss and earlier Prime Minister Nyago that the United

1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>States will notify Congress of our intention to provide seventy

1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:22.519
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars an additional development and economic assistance for

1:12:22.560 --> 1:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the Palestinians in twenty twenty one. Will also provide five

1:12:26.120 --> 1:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>and a half million dollars an immediate disaster assistance for

1:12:29.280 --> 1:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Gaza and a little over thirty two million dollars for

1:12:32.640 --> 1:12:37.559
<v Speaker 1>US emergency humanitarian appeal. This new assistance comes on top

1:12:37.640 --> 1:12:40.879
<v Speaker 1>of significant support that the United States has recently committed

1:12:41.439 --> 1:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and resumed to the Palestinian Authority, Palestinians to different different

1:12:48.280 --> 1:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>agencies in groups. In total, we are in the process

1:12:50.960 --> 1:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of providing more than three hundred and sixty million dollars

1:12:53.960 --> 1:12:59.519
<v Speaker 1>in urgent support for the Palestinian people. Three hundred and

1:13:00.120 --> 1:13:04.879
<v Speaker 1>sixty million dollars. Now, I understand when you're a government

1:13:04.880 --> 1:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>as ours is right now with Biden running things, that's

1:13:07.360 --> 1:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about spending trillions of dollars. Three hundred sixty million

1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>dollars doesn't seem like that much money. But I also

1:13:14.920 --> 1:13:21.599
<v Speaker 1>have to ask a question here, why is Gaza America's problem? Now?

1:13:21.640 --> 1:13:23.439
<v Speaker 1>You could ask this about a lot of foreign policy

1:13:23.479 --> 1:13:26.679
<v Speaker 1>situations all over the world, but why is Gaza our problem?

1:13:28.600 --> 1:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's fair to ask this. There are a

1:13:30.400 --> 1:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of countries in the region. There are a lot

1:13:32.160 --> 1:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of very wealthy Muslim majority countries in the Middle East.

1:13:35.840 --> 1:13:39.479
<v Speaker 1>There's of course our European friends and allies. And you know,

1:13:39.520 --> 1:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a very wealthy countries like Japan and China. Why

1:13:42.280 --> 1:13:47.519
<v Speaker 1>is Gaza our problem? Now? Look, I feel I feel

1:13:47.680 --> 1:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>sympathy for any human being who is suffering through no

1:13:52.120 --> 1:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>fault of their own. I feel sympathy for the Palestinian

1:13:55.439 --> 1:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>families that have lost you know, housing because of Israeli

1:13:58.960 --> 1:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>air strikes, or people who have lost family members, as

1:14:02.520 --> 1:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>as as collateral damage in these air strikes, which I

1:14:05.439 --> 1:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>do understand that phrase. You know, collateral damage is easy

1:14:08.160 --> 1:14:11.559
<v Speaker 1>to say when it's not your family, and I understand that,

1:14:11.640 --> 1:14:14.599
<v Speaker 1>I fully admit that, and um, but it was an

1:14:14.680 --> 1:14:18.479
<v Speaker 1>unintentional killing. You could say that unintentional loss of life

1:14:18.520 --> 1:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>on the part of the Israeli strikes. But why is

1:14:23.439 --> 1:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>this something that America and the Biden administration leads leaps

1:14:27.240 --> 1:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>into with this we have to we have to send

1:14:30.320 --> 1:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>them three hundred and sixty million dollars. I mean, that's money.

1:14:33.320 --> 1:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>The federal government is taking the money, the productivity of

1:14:37.320 --> 1:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the American people to write these checks. And it's not

1:14:42.880 --> 1:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>clear at all to me as to what, First of all,

1:14:45.120 --> 1:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>what will this even accomplish in Gaza. I'd want to know.

1:14:47.800 --> 1:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I'd want to see. We've been I mean, Gaza as

1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:54.559
<v Speaker 1>a place has been receiving international aid for years and

1:14:54.720 --> 1:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>years and years, and it never really seems to get

1:14:58.080 --> 1:15:01.839
<v Speaker 1>much better. They have hum Moss as the elected government,

1:15:01.880 --> 1:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>which is terrifying. But there's so much wrong thing from

1:15:06.800 --> 1:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Democrats on foreign policy. They approach it all. It's it's

1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>like they're trying to do the wrong thing. I mean,

1:15:13.720 --> 1:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>here's the Secretary of State again on the Iran nuclear deal,

1:15:16.840 --> 1:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>which they want to rejoin. Play eight to run you No,

1:15:21.760 --> 1:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the most important thing when it comes to

1:15:25.479 --> 1:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to this, is what we committed to

1:15:28.160 --> 1:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>do from day one of this administration. Well, we've said

1:15:32.880 --> 1:15:36.519
<v Speaker 1>along that if there was an opportunity, we would seek

1:15:36.560 --> 1:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to return to usual compliance with the JCPOA. But we

1:15:40.360 --> 1:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>also said that from day one we would be keeping

1:15:43.280 --> 1:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>our closest allies and the closest partners fully and contemporaneously

1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.639
<v Speaker 1>informed of what we were doing and where we're going.

1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's what we've done, and that's what we'll continue

1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to do. That is how you keep faith with your

1:15:57.240 --> 1:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>partners and allies on some thing that, of course is

1:16:01.439 --> 1:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of great consequenced Israel. Uh, we understand that. And again

1:16:06.080 --> 1:16:11.599
<v Speaker 1>we have the same objective. And let's see where where

1:16:11.640 --> 1:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>things going the next in the next few weeks. But

1:16:14.160 --> 1:16:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I can again tell you that we are fully fully

1:16:18.320 --> 1:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>engaged with our with our partners here in at least

1:16:21.600 --> 1:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>making sure that they're fully informed of what we're doing. Man,

1:16:26.280 --> 1:16:28.599
<v Speaker 1>this guy is poring, Isn't he sorry about that? Listening

1:16:28.600 --> 1:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to the current Secretary of State, Buddy, the Biden administration

1:16:33.600 --> 1:16:35.519
<v Speaker 1>foreign policy, it's just going to be a continuation of

1:16:35.520 --> 1:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Obama's eight years of foreign policy, which we're really an

1:16:39.000 --> 1:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>unmitigated disaster. So that's what's coming your way America. With

1:16:43.479 --> 1:16:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Memorial Day weekend ahead, flag season is officially upon us.

1:16:48.280 --> 1:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been telling you about our friends at Allegiance Flag Supply,

1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a great American small business story whose founders started the

1:16:55.200 --> 1:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>company because they were tired of buying American flags that

1:16:58.800 --> 1:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>got tangled or worn out so quickly, and believe strongly

1:17:02.200 --> 1:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that the American flag should be made here in America.

1:17:06.000 --> 1:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>You might be saying to yourself, a flag is a flag, buck,

1:17:09.000 --> 1:17:11.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't it No? No No, my friends, if you've had an

1:17:11.080 --> 1:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>American flag in the past out in front of your house,

1:17:13.560 --> 1:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>or you know somebody who has, you've seen the constant

1:17:16.360 --> 1:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>tangling around poles or the quick deterioration because of wind, rain, sun.

1:17:21.800 --> 1:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>This is where American flags from Allegiance Flag Supply really

1:17:25.720 --> 1:17:30.479
<v Speaker 1>stand out. Their flags are made from top quality nylon,

1:17:30.600 --> 1:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a material that's strong and durable but lightweight enough to

1:17:34.240 --> 1:17:37.599
<v Speaker 1>fly nicely in a breeze. The flags are also made

1:17:37.600 --> 1:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>with mold resistant material and crafted using double needle locks stitching.

1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>In addition, when you buy their flag set, you receive

1:17:45.120 --> 1:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>their non tangle flag pole spinners that ensure your flag

1:17:48.960 --> 1:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>will spin around the pole. No more tangled flags. Allegiance

1:17:53.720 --> 1:17:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Flag Supply brings the respect to the manufacturing process that

1:17:57.320 --> 1:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the American flag deserves, and you can experience it's the

1:18:00.360 --> 1:18:03.240

1:18:41.560 --> 1:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Floyd looking at the pathologically soft and tender America that

1:18:45.840 --> 1:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>countenanced last summer's riots, and this has yet to materialize.

1:18:52.160 --> 1:18:55.559
<v Speaker 1>We will join our friend here, Pedro Gonzalez, who's the

1:18:55.600 --> 1:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>author of this piece at American Greatness American great am

1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Greatness dot com. Reckoning with the Aftermath of George Floyd.

1:19:04.400 --> 1:19:08.759
<v Speaker 1>This week obviously was the anniversary of George Floyd's death, Pedro,

1:19:08.840 --> 1:19:11.360
<v Speaker 1>thanks for being with us, Hey Buck always going to

1:19:11.400 --> 1:19:16.080
<v Speaker 1>be here. So you went through this in substantial detail

1:19:16.120 --> 1:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>in your in your piece, What is the takeaway that

1:19:19.840 --> 1:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you think America should have now that we are one

1:19:22.920 --> 1:19:28.599
<v Speaker 1>year into the post George Floyd movement era or the

1:19:28.600 --> 1:19:33.479
<v Speaker 1>the the movement era, I should say, of of George Floyd. Right, Well,

1:19:33.479 --> 1:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the left thinks that we didn't go far enough. That's

1:19:36.439 --> 1:19:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that was what CNN's John Blake wrote on the anniversary

1:19:41.240 --> 1:19:45.479
<v Speaker 1>of Floyd's stats was that we didn't have our racial reckoning,

1:19:46.120 --> 1:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that that we had a missopportunity. Either it was a

1:19:49.479 --> 1:19:53.360
<v Speaker 1>missopportunity or a false start. But basically, after everything that

1:19:53.439 --> 1:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>happened last year, we're still back at square one. As

1:19:57.040 --> 1:20:00.280
<v Speaker 1>far as people like Blake and many other leftists agree,

1:20:00.479 --> 1:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this is I think this is actually the general consensus

1:20:02.680 --> 1:20:05.400
<v Speaker 1>is like, there's still so much work to do and

1:20:05.840 --> 1:20:08.200
<v Speaker 1>last year was either the beginning or, like I said,

1:20:08.240 --> 1:20:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a kind of false start. And I think conservatives are

1:20:14.240 --> 1:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>in this weird place where the GOP's official stance is

1:20:17.960 --> 1:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>basically like, yeah, a lot of the basic arguments of

1:20:22.840 --> 1:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>like systemic racism are true. So that's why we've made

1:20:27.520 --> 1:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Tim Scott our figurehead, and that's why the GOP is

1:20:30.280 --> 1:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>committed to criminal just reform because we basically agree. I mean,

1:20:34.720 --> 1:20:36.320
<v Speaker 1>we don't agree on all the you know, on all

1:20:36.400 --> 1:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the details, but we yeah, okay, okay, America is bad,

1:20:41.000 --> 1:20:42.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's better now, and you know, we're going to

1:20:42.680 --> 1:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>show you it's better by basically also going all in

1:20:45.040 --> 1:20:48.479
<v Speaker 1>on on criminal just reform. So and of course, like

1:20:48.920 --> 1:20:52.640
<v Speaker 1>everyday Americans, who I think are in many cases conservative

1:20:52.640 --> 1:20:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and their sensibilities, disagree with that because they're the ones

1:20:55.880 --> 1:20:59.599
<v Speaker 1>that lived through the riots on the street level and

1:20:59.680 --> 1:21:04.759
<v Speaker 1>saw businesses get destroyed, at homes get vandalized, and friends, family,

1:21:04.800 --> 1:21:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and police officers get injured, maimed and even killed. So

1:21:10.080 --> 1:21:12.479
<v Speaker 1>in a way I actually agree with Blake. We haven't

1:21:12.479 --> 1:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>had a reckoning. It's just not the one that he wants,

1:21:15.479 --> 1:21:19.160
<v Speaker 1>but America needs well. I think in your you're raising

1:21:19.200 --> 1:21:23.600
<v Speaker 1>here that there's there are there are fundamental lies that

1:21:23.640 --> 1:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>are at the heart of the of the BLM movement.

1:21:26.040 --> 1:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>For example, the narrative is zag and it's not that

1:21:30.200 --> 1:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>easy to explain without getting into some specifics, but that

1:21:35.040 --> 1:21:39.240
<v Speaker 1>that young, unarmed black men are systemically in large numbers

1:21:39.320 --> 1:21:44.680
<v Speaker 1>killed by police without legal justification and without punishment for

1:21:44.720 --> 1:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the officer, which is which is central to the belief

1:21:48.960 --> 1:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>of BLM. This is a lie and this is just

1:21:52.400 --> 1:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>not true. That's not the same thing as saying it

1:21:55.479 --> 1:21:58.719
<v Speaker 1>never happens. But to suggest that this is an urgent

1:21:58.840 --> 1:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>national problem, I mean the urgent problem is the enormous

1:22:03.080 --> 1:22:06.600
<v Speaker 1>increase in homicides. But quite honestly, the homicide rates in

1:22:06.680 --> 1:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>places like Chicago and Saint Louis and Memphis and New

1:22:10.920 --> 1:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Orleans and Baltimore was far too high before the BLM

1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>homicide spike. And yes, these are in predominantly minority black

1:22:22.240 --> 1:22:24.559
<v Speaker 1>and brown neighborhoods where a lot of these shootings are occurring,

1:22:24.560 --> 1:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>which means that they're suffering from them more. That is

1:22:27.600 --> 1:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the reality of what's going on in America. But that

1:22:29.960 --> 1:22:33.519
<v Speaker 1>is not what we're talking about. It. It's still if

1:22:33.960 --> 1:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you brought up center to Tim Scott, if we pass

1:22:36.360 --> 1:22:39.759
<v Speaker 1>some law, this is going to change what is supposed

1:22:39.800 --> 1:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to change here. No cop is ever going to be

1:22:42.280 --> 1:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>an e lethal force situation and perhaps make the wrong

1:22:45.240 --> 1:22:49.920
<v Speaker 1>decision or use excessive force. That's never gonna happen. Right, Yeah,

1:22:49.960 --> 1:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you've already lost if that's your position. No, we'll pass

1:22:52.800 --> 1:22:55.639
<v Speaker 1>a law and fixes it's you've already you've actually already

1:22:55.640 --> 1:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>given up the most important issue here. But when you

1:22:59.320 --> 1:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>look at things retrospectively, how has the country changed. Well,

1:23:03.200 --> 1:23:08.320
<v Speaker 1>violent crime has soared because police have retreated from policing

1:23:08.479 --> 1:23:11.559
<v Speaker 1>violent crime, especially in inner cities. So you know that

1:23:11.640 --> 1:23:14.360
<v Speaker 1>was a huge backfire. But of course it's not true

1:23:14.360 --> 1:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that they're completity policing, because it also seems to be

1:23:17.080 --> 1:23:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the case that not just law enforcement, but also the

1:23:19.840 --> 1:23:24.519
<v Speaker 1>military and the intelligence community, after last year's devastating riots,

1:23:25.240 --> 1:23:29.400
<v Speaker 1>their principal targets now are This is not hyperbole. It's

1:23:29.439 --> 1:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>like Trump supporters and people who are identifiably conservative. You

1:23:33.280 --> 1:23:37.120
<v Speaker 1>can find examples of There's a guy named Bishop Garrison

1:23:37.720 --> 1:23:41.479
<v Speaker 1>who is in charge of the Pentagon's who's overseeing a

1:23:41.520 --> 1:23:44.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of the Pentagon's project to ferret out extremism. This

1:23:44.640 --> 1:23:47.519
<v Speaker 1>is a guy who thinks that white supremacy is a

1:23:47.680 --> 1:23:51.559
<v Speaker 1>nation ending threat, and he connects his explicit support for

1:23:51.560 --> 1:23:55.719
<v Speaker 1>the sixteen nineteen project to his work at the Department

1:23:55.760 --> 1:23:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of Defense, And like, that's the guy that's overseeing the

1:23:58.680 --> 1:24:02.200
<v Speaker 1>military's anti extremism efforts. How do you think that's going

1:24:02.240 --> 1:24:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to go? And I mean you're seeing the same with

1:24:04.479 --> 1:24:08.160
<v Speaker 1>police departments. There's an instance that I wrote about with

1:24:08.240 --> 1:24:12.479
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Petland where basically cobs served. You know, they're happy

1:24:12.479 --> 1:24:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to enforce like pandemic measures, and they're also happy to

1:24:15.840 --> 1:24:20.639
<v Speaker 1>politicize these confrontations between civilians and criminals, especially if they're black.

1:24:20.960 --> 1:24:24.519
<v Speaker 1>But what about violent crime, you know, things that actually matter.

1:24:25.080 --> 1:24:28.439
<v Speaker 1>They're retreating from that. So there's basically the country has

1:24:28.560 --> 1:24:31.760
<v Speaker 1>changed in a really bad way. And on top of that,

1:24:31.840 --> 1:24:35.679
<v Speaker 1>obviously like all these small businesses were destroyed, and who

1:24:35.720 --> 1:24:38.839
<v Speaker 1>did that benefit? It benefited the people like Jeff Bezos

1:24:39.040 --> 1:24:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and these huge corporations right that were also in a

1:24:42.920 --> 1:24:47.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of ways materially and morally supporting the riots. So

1:24:47.320 --> 1:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that the country has changed in a fundamental and awful way.

1:24:51.840 --> 1:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think that when you just give a cursory

1:24:55.240 --> 1:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>examination to the events last year, it's it's absolutely horrific,

1:24:58.320 --> 1:25:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's mind boggling that we don't even talk about it.

1:25:00.439 --> 1:25:02.479
<v Speaker 1>There was one instance that everyone seems to have forgotten

1:25:02.479 --> 1:25:05.439
<v Speaker 1>about where a police officer in Vegas was shot in

1:25:05.479 --> 1:25:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the head while trying to while dealing with the BLM rights.

1:25:09.600 --> 1:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>He's not paralyzed from the neck down and is on

1:25:11.880 --> 1:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hour respirators support and basically his life has

1:25:15.800 --> 1:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>changed forever. No one seems to care about that. And

1:25:18.280 --> 1:25:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that's just one example. You know, you had security contractors

1:25:20.760 --> 1:25:23.720
<v Speaker 1>killed and a security contractor killed in California. You had

1:25:23.720 --> 1:25:27.599
<v Speaker 1>a retired police captain killed the Missouri and you had

1:25:27.680 --> 1:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>not to mention all the people that were injured and maimed, Like,

1:25:30.960 --> 1:25:35.240
<v Speaker 1>why doesn't anyone care about this? Speaking of Pedro Gonzalez,

1:25:35.320 --> 1:25:38.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a senior writer at American Greatness. He has a

1:25:38.200 --> 1:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>piece at am greatness dot com reckoning with the aftermath

1:25:41.600 --> 1:25:45.080
<v Speaker 1>of George Floyd. You know, Pedro to that point. Earlier

1:25:45.080 --> 1:25:48.479
<v Speaker 1>this week there was a live news shot at at

1:25:48.520 --> 1:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd's square. And I do, I do think there's something.

1:25:53.320 --> 1:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something really really grow morally grotesque about

1:25:57.720 --> 1:26:02.599
<v Speaker 1>elevating this man as as a hero, certainly as a martyr,

1:26:02.640 --> 1:26:05.200
<v Speaker 1>but really as a hero. I mean there are murals

1:26:05.240 --> 1:26:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of him in Europe as if that has you know,

1:26:09.160 --> 1:26:11.680
<v Speaker 1>as if their situation is the same as ours when

1:26:11.680 --> 1:26:14.120
<v Speaker 1>it comes to law enforcement, their history, whatever, whatever, we're

1:26:14.120 --> 1:26:16.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I mean, this is a man who was

1:26:16.320 --> 1:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>who was a had a long criminal history. This is

1:26:19.760 --> 1:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>somebody who, during a home invasion this is all a

1:26:22.320 --> 1:26:25.439
<v Speaker 1>matter of public record, pointed a loaded firearm at the

1:26:25.479 --> 1:26:28.760
<v Speaker 1>belly of a pregnant women who he was robbing. And

1:26:28.800 --> 1:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>this is somebody whose face is now in murals as

1:26:32.080 --> 1:26:35.200
<v Speaker 1>though he's some kind of a saint. And at the

1:26:35.400 --> 1:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>live shot at the George Floyd Memorial, gunfire was ringed.

1:26:39.400 --> 1:26:42.200
<v Speaker 1>This happened on live TV. Gunfire bam, bam bam, shots

1:26:42.240 --> 1:26:45.200
<v Speaker 1>just ringing out. You would think that there would be

1:26:45.280 --> 1:26:49.240
<v Speaker 1>some embarrassment that this is what happens at a at

1:26:49.280 --> 1:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a seemingly holy sight to the left. But no, not

1:26:52.920 --> 1:26:55.719
<v Speaker 1>at all. But by the way, the gunfire wasn't from cops, folks,

1:26:55.840 --> 1:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>in case you know anyone was curious. Yeah, no, it's

1:26:59.240 --> 1:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy, But no, there is no shame, there's no

1:27:02.080 --> 1:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>contradiction in these things. They don't care. And if anything,

1:27:05.520 --> 1:27:09.519
<v Speaker 1>it's somehow attributable to white people and white supremacy. I

1:27:09.520 --> 1:27:11.840
<v Speaker 1>mean ultimately that this this all goes back to that,

1:27:12.160 --> 1:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's the really pernicious thing is we

1:27:14.160 --> 1:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>have not reckoned with the theoretical justification of all these things,

1:27:20.439 --> 1:27:23.719
<v Speaker 1>which is that even when there's violence in inner cities

1:27:23.840 --> 1:27:28.439
<v Speaker 1>or shooting at the at the the Floyd Square, it

1:27:28.600 --> 1:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>all somehow can be reduced to a symptom of white supremacy.

1:27:33.080 --> 1:27:36.240
<v Speaker 1>That's what you're actually seeing, and that the violence and

1:27:36.280 --> 1:27:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the criminality these are not causes but symptoms of a

1:27:40.760 --> 1:27:43.799
<v Speaker 1>basically what the sixteen nineteen Project has said about America,

1:27:43.880 --> 1:27:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that America is fundamentally bad and evil, and you're not

1:27:47.800 --> 1:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>allowed to point out these contradictions. And I think another

1:27:52.360 --> 1:27:54.920
<v Speaker 1>aspect of this that has flown under the radar is

1:27:54.960 --> 1:28:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that this is I think a tremendous indictment of the

1:28:00.560 --> 1:28:03.439
<v Speaker 1>entire American political system. I don't know how else to

1:28:03.439 --> 1:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>put it, but leading up to the BLM riots last year,

1:28:08.600 --> 1:28:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you had a bunch of prisoner releases. A bunch of

1:28:11.160 --> 1:28:13.200
<v Speaker 1>people got out of prison early on the grounds that

1:28:13.880 --> 1:28:17.919
<v Speaker 1>they had to stop the spread. And apparently the virus

1:28:17.960 --> 1:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>was running rampant through prisons something because we were releasing murderers, rapists,

1:28:25.240 --> 1:28:30.640
<v Speaker 1>drug dealers, burglar's serial offense like really bad people. In

1:28:30.680 --> 1:28:33.120
<v Speaker 1>many cases, they went on to repeat offend almost as

1:28:33.160 --> 1:28:35.280
<v Speaker 1>soon as they were released. There's at least one instance

1:28:35.320 --> 1:28:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I can remember off the top of my mind where

1:28:36.840 --> 1:28:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a guy got out of prison and within like forty

1:28:39.080 --> 1:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>eight hours he stabbed and killed somebody else. And there's

1:28:42.120 --> 1:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>examples of like sex offenders who were released because you know,

1:28:44.439 --> 1:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we don't want them to get sick in prison, and

1:28:46.120 --> 1:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>then what do they do. They go and expose themselves

1:28:49.360 --> 1:28:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to someone almost immediately after the release. So here's a

1:28:52.600 --> 1:28:56.519
<v Speaker 1>good question, because these releases happened just before and during

1:28:56.760 --> 1:28:59.519
<v Speaker 1>the riots, how much of the violence is actually a

1:28:59.640 --> 1:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>tribute to policy decisions on the state and local level,

1:29:06.400 --> 1:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to politicians, bureaucrats, administrators, and governors letting people out of

1:29:14.960 --> 1:29:17.839
<v Speaker 1>prison early or just letting them out of prison altogether

1:29:18.240 --> 1:29:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in order to stop the spread. And then these people

1:29:20.200 --> 1:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>went on to participate in writing and looting, and then

1:29:22.280 --> 1:29:24.679
<v Speaker 1>if they got caught in a place like New York

1:29:24.760 --> 1:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>where you know they've limited to cash bail, they get

1:29:27.840 --> 1:29:31.640
<v Speaker 1>caught and then immediately released. This is another thing that

1:29:31.680 --> 1:29:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I think is huge and we haven't discussed, and it

1:29:34.479 --> 1:29:38.799
<v Speaker 1>is a I think a tremendous crime against the country

1:29:38.840 --> 1:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that we did this, and also that we're not asked

1:29:41.040 --> 1:29:43.439
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of ways it parallels the whole the

1:29:43.479 --> 1:29:46.120
<v Speaker 1>pandemic origin thing. Right, We're not supposed to talk about

1:29:46.120 --> 1:29:47.599
<v Speaker 1>the fact that it really looks like this thing came

1:29:47.600 --> 1:29:50.679
<v Speaker 1>out of a lab. You're supposed to ignore that it's

1:29:50.760 --> 1:29:54.400
<v Speaker 1>very similar to that in this sense. Speaking of Pedro Gonzale,

1:29:54.479 --> 1:29:58.240
<v Speaker 1>senior writer at American Greatness, and if you go to

1:29:58.400 --> 1:30:02.320
<v Speaker 1>am greatness dot com you can see his piece they're

1:30:02.439 --> 1:30:05.760
<v Speaker 1>reckoning with the aftermath of George Floyd Spader, I want

1:30:05.760 --> 1:30:07.479
<v Speaker 1>to note, you know, it seems that there's always this

1:30:08.400 --> 1:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I write a lot of the commentaries this week from

1:30:11.040 --> 1:30:15.840
<v Speaker 1>various leftists and corporate media democrats where where they point

1:30:15.880 --> 1:30:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to disparities, they'll say that this community, this, this racial

1:30:20.360 --> 1:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>ethnic community is arrested at this rate compared to other communities.

1:30:25.240 --> 1:30:27.439
<v Speaker 1>And then that is always that has always put forward

1:30:27.479 --> 1:30:30.439
<v Speaker 1>as as de facto evidence of racism from the police.

1:30:30.960 --> 1:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>When when I sit here, and I mean I can,

1:30:33.120 --> 1:30:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I can just off the top of my head tell

1:30:34.680 --> 1:30:38.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody that you know, Riker's Island, the main prison in

1:30:38.439 --> 1:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>New York City where I am is over ninety percent

1:30:42.400 --> 1:30:46.800
<v Speaker 1>black and hispanic, uh is the claim of the left

1:30:46.800 --> 1:30:50.559
<v Speaker 1>seems to be that that is because of racist cops

1:30:51.280 --> 1:30:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and and the thing is, no one really believes that, right,

1:30:55.160 --> 1:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not racist cops that are the reason for that,

1:30:58.120 --> 1:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>but we're not allowed to talk about it. Yeah. Well, basically,

1:31:02.240 --> 1:31:04.759
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying is that people people don't have agency,

1:31:05.640 --> 1:31:08.880
<v Speaker 1>is what you're saying, and specifically that blacks and non

1:31:08.920 --> 1:31:12.120
<v Speaker 1>whites generally do not have agency. They're not in control

1:31:12.120 --> 1:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of their actions. And there is a topical example. In

1:31:15.960 --> 1:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, a black man snuck into the home of

1:31:20.240 --> 1:31:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a ninety five year old World War Two veteran over

1:31:23.120 --> 1:31:25.840
<v Speaker 1>thanksgetting weakened and beat him to death with his own

1:31:25.880 --> 1:31:29.160
<v Speaker 1>mantle clock, which he later pawned. And in court he

1:31:29.280 --> 1:31:32.519
<v Speaker 1>said that it wasn't a cold budded killing, that he

1:31:32.840 --> 1:31:35.479
<v Speaker 1>the reason he lashed out and murdered this old man

1:31:35.640 --> 1:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>was because he was white and he resembled his oppressors,

1:31:38.520 --> 1:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and that you have to this is what he in

1:31:40.400 --> 1:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>his defense attorney argued that you have to consider the

1:31:43.360 --> 1:31:45.839
<v Speaker 1>environment that he grew up in, that he's a product

1:31:45.840 --> 1:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>of his environment and he can't be held accountiful for

1:31:48.160 --> 1:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>his actions, and that it was not a coal bludded crime.

1:31:51.160 --> 1:31:53.640
<v Speaker 1>It was a it was a warm blooded crime of

1:31:54.080 --> 1:31:56.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of like it was a cry for help. And

1:31:56.920 --> 1:31:59.519
<v Speaker 1>he said, you know, I stole not because I enjoyed it,

1:31:59.520 --> 1:32:02.400
<v Speaker 1>but because I needed to steal. And I think that

1:32:02.520 --> 1:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the great part about that was that his mother and

1:32:04.320 --> 1:32:06.919
<v Speaker 1>his sister were in court and they were deeply obviously

1:32:06.960 --> 1:32:09.040
<v Speaker 1>sorry to the family of the World War two veteran.

1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:12.439
<v Speaker 1>And when he said that, the sister told the press, no,

1:32:12.600 --> 1:32:14.479
<v Speaker 1>we had everything we needed when we were growing up.

1:32:15.760 --> 1:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>But even obviously even if they didn't, that still doesn't

1:32:17.800 --> 1:32:22.560
<v Speaker 1>justify murder. But but what's underlying that whole argument is

1:32:22.600 --> 1:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that he doesn't have agency. He's not in control of

1:32:25.160 --> 1:32:29.720
<v Speaker 1>his actions. So that's basically what this argument is is

1:32:29.760 --> 1:32:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that people and specifically non white minorities have no agency.

1:32:34.360 --> 1:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I hate to take the system, the system effectively is

1:32:36.920 --> 1:32:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and this is where you get the system is making

1:32:39.080 --> 1:32:41.360
<v Speaker 1>people do things, or the system is responsible and Pedro,

1:32:41.400 --> 1:32:44.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you had the White House say community violence recently,

1:32:45.840 --> 1:32:50.040
<v Speaker 1>referring to acts of violence, right, not not violence. It's

1:32:50.320 --> 1:32:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that the community is responsible for violence, not violence against

1:32:54.000 --> 1:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the community. Right. Yeah, yeah, you're all you're all responsible.

1:32:57.920 --> 1:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>That was actually what this man's attorney side, like that

1:33:00.920 --> 1:33:03.160
<v Speaker 1>basically the community had a responsibility for the way that

1:33:03.200 --> 1:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>he turned out just totally absurd. And I hate to

1:33:05.880 --> 1:33:07.720
<v Speaker 1>use this line that I'm really critical of, you know,

1:33:08.080 --> 1:33:11.080
<v Speaker 1>like saying like this is real racism or Democrats through racist,

1:33:11.320 --> 1:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, in a way it's true. If you're saying, well,

1:33:13.720 --> 1:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>blacks don't have agency, you're taking this kind of paternalistic

1:33:17.760 --> 1:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>stance that they have to be protected from themselves and

1:33:22.280 --> 1:33:25.000
<v Speaker 1>others because they're just not in control the actions. They

1:33:25.080 --> 1:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>can't operate freely in society. The conservative political philosophy believes

1:33:31.080 --> 1:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>that all people are equal in the eyes of God,

1:33:33.960 --> 1:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the law, and end each other. But we'll have to

1:33:36.760 --> 1:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>leave it. They're right now, Pedro, thanks so much for

1:33:40.120 --> 1:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>joining us, Pedro Gonzals of American greatness. We'll talk to

1:33:42.680 --> 1:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you soon. Thank you. He has asked the Department of

1:33:45.280 --> 1:33:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Education to issue this review and brief, and last I checked,

1:33:49.920 --> 1:33:53.639
<v Speaker 1>I believe that they're in the process of developing that route,

1:33:54.320 --> 1:33:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that brief and review, and I believe that once the

1:33:58.320 --> 1:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Department of Education comes back again knock on wood, but

1:34:03.120 --> 1:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>very hopefully saying that he does in fact have the

1:34:06.760 --> 1:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>legal authority to cancel student loan debt, not he can

1:34:11.160 --> 1:34:13.639
<v Speaker 1>do it without Congress with a stroke of his pen.

1:34:14.160 --> 1:34:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Then once they release that brief then it's on us

1:34:17.720 --> 1:34:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and to then triple down on our organizing and to

1:34:21.280 --> 1:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>get him to do it. He has expressed, you know,

1:34:25.240 --> 1:34:28.599
<v Speaker 1>some talk around a ten thousand dollars level. I don't

1:34:28.640 --> 1:34:31.479
<v Speaker 1>think that that's enough. We need to push him. I

1:34:31.520 --> 1:34:34.880
<v Speaker 1>believe in full student loan debt cancelation, but we have

1:34:35.000 --> 1:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to push him to at the bare minimum a floor,

1:34:38.520 --> 1:34:41.639
<v Speaker 1>a fifty thousand dollars that Senator Warren and Senator Schumer

1:34:42.000 --> 1:34:46.280
<v Speaker 1>have also advanced. The Democrats really are the party of

1:34:46.520 --> 1:34:51.960
<v Speaker 1>selfishness and childish behavior, which is why AOC is actually

1:34:52.000 --> 1:34:55.760
<v Speaker 1>such a good spokesperson for the modern Democrat party, why

1:34:55.840 --> 1:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>she's so powerful, why she has the following that she does.

1:34:58.560 --> 1:35:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Fifty thousand dollars, just just wipe it away. You got

1:35:01.400 --> 1:35:04.680
<v Speaker 1>student loans, fifty grand wipe it away. People that have

1:35:04.840 --> 1:35:07.200
<v Speaker 1>for the last twenty years been paying offer student loans.

1:35:07.240 --> 1:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Too bad. Oh you have mortgage debt, you have credit

1:35:10.160 --> 1:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>card debt, NA, Sorry, that's your problem. Oh you had

1:35:14.000 --> 1:35:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to run up credit card debt to pay for groceries

1:35:16.439 --> 1:35:18.840
<v Speaker 1>or for for gas for your car to get to

1:35:18.880 --> 1:35:23.920
<v Speaker 1>your job. Now you should have studied, you know, gender

1:35:24.000 --> 1:35:28.200
<v Speaker 1>studies of the Caribbean eighteen fifty to nineteen fifty at

1:35:28.520 --> 1:35:31.840
<v Speaker 1>University of Who gives a crap, right, that's what you

1:35:31.880 --> 1:35:35.240
<v Speaker 1>should have done. But you know, instead you got a job,

1:35:35.360 --> 1:35:37.519
<v Speaker 1>or you did you did things the way that you

1:35:37.560 --> 1:35:40.960
<v Speaker 1>thought were responsible, because they were. And you know you're

1:35:40.960 --> 1:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>but you're not part of the You're not part of

1:35:43.960 --> 1:35:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the folks that are going to get all this all

1:35:46.800 --> 1:35:51.680
<v Speaker 1>this government money thrown at them, because so democrats do

1:35:51.880 --> 1:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>try to find ways to take money from some and

1:35:54.160 --> 1:35:59.720
<v Speaker 1>give it to others. Again effective, just like politics of envy. Effective.

1:36:00.360 --> 1:36:03.559
<v Speaker 1>You get power this way. But a lot of you

1:36:03.600 --> 1:36:06.080
<v Speaker 1>out there that either didn't that paid off your student

1:36:06.080 --> 1:36:08.360
<v Speaker 1>loans or didn't you know, I didn't go to a

1:36:08.360 --> 1:36:10.439
<v Speaker 1>business school. I didn't get a master's degree, and I

1:36:10.479 --> 1:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>got into some of the humble brand. Not a humble

1:36:13.160 --> 1:36:14.280
<v Speaker 1>bragg is a brag. I got into some of the

1:36:14.280 --> 1:36:16.559
<v Speaker 1>best business school programs in the world. I didn't go

1:36:17.280 --> 1:36:19.160
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't want to run up two hundred grand

1:36:19.200 --> 1:36:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and student debt. How was a government employee before that?

1:36:22.600 --> 1:36:25.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any money. Oh but now I could

1:36:25.439 --> 1:36:27.519
<v Speaker 1>have run at least like ac count on fifty grand

1:36:27.520 --> 1:36:30.400
<v Speaker 1>according to AOC to get wiped away. Man. I guess

1:36:30.680 --> 1:36:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. The government really is just a lot of resystem. Now,

1:36:32.880 --> 1:36:35.679
<v Speaker 1>some people win, some people lose, depending on what AOC thinks.

1:36:36.080 --> 1:36:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Are they targeting Trump with a grand jury in New

1:36:40.720 --> 1:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>York question, we have to look at now, that's what

1:36:44.640 --> 1:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the reporting is saying. This is really interesting, really concerning

1:36:49.720 --> 1:36:52.519
<v Speaker 1>important stuff that I want to break down for you here.

1:36:53.280 --> 1:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>This is again all dailymail dot com. The grand jury

1:36:55.960 --> 1:36:58.160
<v Speaker 1>will sit three times a week for the next six

1:36:58.280 --> 1:37:02.719
<v Speaker 1>months in New York. Will also weigh charges against other

1:37:02.800 --> 1:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump organization executives. He has been accused of inflating values

1:37:08.920 --> 1:37:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of his assets for tax benefits. He's facing two investigations

1:37:15.400 --> 1:37:18.720
<v Speaker 1>into his business practices at the state level. Trump has

1:37:18.720 --> 1:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>denied all wrongdoing. It says the probes are further examples

1:37:21.160 --> 1:37:27.599
<v Speaker 1>of democratic which hunts. All right, this shows you what

1:37:27.680 --> 1:37:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we are up against. In case you were wondering, in

1:37:30.960 --> 1:37:34.479
<v Speaker 1>case there was any lingering doubt, which I doubt there was.

1:37:35.680 --> 1:37:38.920
<v Speaker 1>But this should be a reminder to all of us

1:37:38.920 --> 1:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of what it means to be a conservative leader in

1:37:43.360 --> 1:37:49.720
<v Speaker 1>America today. A Republican politician, a man who created effectively

1:37:50.600 --> 1:37:56.519
<v Speaker 1>a movement by running for office. Here he is now

1:37:56.640 --> 1:38:01.960
<v Speaker 1>being targeted after leaving the over love, no goodwill, no

1:38:02.040 --> 1:38:05.880
<v Speaker 1>good faith from the other side. How many times have

1:38:06.000 --> 1:38:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I come on air here and told you that the

1:38:08.680 --> 1:38:14.320
<v Speaker 1>only real motivating principle for the Democrat Left, the only

1:38:14.320 --> 1:38:17.400
<v Speaker 1>thing that binds all the different elements and interest groups

1:38:17.640 --> 1:38:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and all the rest of it of the left together,

1:38:20.360 --> 1:38:24.040
<v Speaker 1>which now is the Democrat Party, is the pursuit of power.

1:38:24.760 --> 1:38:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Whatever they have to do, whatever they can do to

1:38:27.880 --> 1:38:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that end, that is the deciding factor. Donald Trump is

1:38:33.160 --> 1:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>now living down in mar Lago. I guess he's at

1:38:35.680 --> 1:38:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Bedminster's in New York this week whatever. He moves around

1:38:38.520 --> 1:38:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but he's basically in mar Lago for

1:38:40.640 --> 1:38:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the wintertime. And he's a former president. He has been

1:38:45.479 --> 1:38:52.720
<v Speaker 1>deep platformed, DP platform from Facebook, from Twitter, from these

1:38:52.760 --> 1:38:57.639
<v Speaker 1>different very powerful tools that he used better than any

1:38:57.680 --> 1:39:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Republican before him. There is no person to this day

1:39:02.080 --> 1:39:05.240
<v Speaker 1>who was more effective on the right on Twitter than

1:39:05.320 --> 1:39:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump. And I was honored that there were

1:39:08.560 --> 1:39:11.360
<v Speaker 1>so many times when he saw fit to retweet my

1:39:11.479 --> 1:39:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Twitter account, which was always a an illuminating experience because

1:39:15.720 --> 1:39:20.519
<v Speaker 1>of all the crazy Hollywood celebrities and left wing pundits

1:39:20.520 --> 1:39:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and people that would start attacking me. Oh, they all

1:39:23.200 --> 1:39:25.120
<v Speaker 1>like to make fun of my name is if Ooh

1:39:25.439 --> 1:39:28.479
<v Speaker 1>you got me there, you know, and now you really

1:39:28.479 --> 1:39:30.320
<v Speaker 1>won the argument with that one. But as we know,

1:39:30.400 --> 1:39:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the left is full of childishness and stupidity. So none

1:39:34.400 --> 1:39:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of that is none of that is surprising. All very

1:39:37.200 --> 1:39:43.160
<v Speaker 1>aware of the way they operate. But this now just

1:39:43.200 --> 1:39:47.519
<v Speaker 1>goes to show you how much they play hardball, how

1:39:47.600 --> 1:39:51.559
<v Speaker 1>much the other side of the aisle here will use

1:39:51.800 --> 1:39:56.240
<v Speaker 1>power in very real ways, not in rhetorical terms, but

1:39:56.400 --> 1:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, they will use this state.

1:39:59.360 --> 1:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>They will use the prosecutor's office to send men with

1:40:03.920 --> 1:40:07.320
<v Speaker 1>guns to take you from your family and lock you

1:40:07.400 --> 1:40:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in a cell for the crime of being a conservative,

1:40:12.640 --> 1:40:17.640
<v Speaker 1>for being important to the conservative movement. Now do I

1:40:17.920 --> 1:40:22.360
<v Speaker 1>think that they will actually do this, because this is

1:40:22.479 --> 1:40:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the rubicon. Friends, Once they cross this, we are in

1:40:26.479 --> 1:40:29.160
<v Speaker 1>a different political world. I mean, they've got to be joking.

1:40:29.320 --> 1:40:32.639
<v Speaker 1>They're convening a grand jury here because they say Donald

1:40:32.640 --> 1:40:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump inflated assets. Well, a lot of the time the

1:40:37.200 --> 1:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>assets were talking about here, whether it's his brand, association

1:40:41.280 --> 1:40:45.200
<v Speaker 1>or real estate. There's going to be some differentiation. There's

1:40:45.240 --> 1:40:48.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be a sliding scale of people that think

1:40:48.160 --> 1:40:51.760
<v Speaker 1>it has one value, it has another value. So, yeah,

1:40:51.800 --> 1:40:55.800
<v Speaker 1>did Trump probably air on the side of thinking his

1:40:56.000 --> 1:40:58.639
<v Speaker 1>assets were worth more? Did he believe they were worth more?

1:40:58.840 --> 1:41:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Sure that would surprise me. You're gonna bring a criminal

1:41:02.280 --> 1:41:05.000
<v Speaker 1>charge against it. Notice it's not even he may owe

1:41:05.000 --> 1:41:08.080
<v Speaker 1>some back taxes. That's not what the story is. It's

1:41:08.360 --> 1:41:12.479
<v Speaker 1>we want to go after him for fraud. That's what

1:41:12.640 --> 1:41:16.240
<v Speaker 1>they want everyone to take away from this. The fact

1:41:16.240 --> 1:41:21.479
<v Speaker 1>that this would even be leaked is so interesting, isn't it.

1:41:22.240 --> 1:41:27.120
<v Speaker 1>A grand jury is supposed to be secret. As you know,

1:41:27.880 --> 1:41:32.520
<v Speaker 1>grand jury proceedings are not public. So why are their leaks?

1:41:32.520 --> 1:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh we all know why. Because this district attorney in

1:41:37.120 --> 1:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>New York is a Democrat hack pretending to be an

1:41:42.400 --> 1:41:48.120
<v Speaker 1>even handed prosecutor. Si Vance wants to be a I

1:41:48.280 --> 1:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>get a big book deal, I'm on the boards of

1:41:51.280 --> 1:41:55.920
<v Speaker 1>lots of companies, and I'm beloved at liberal cocktail parties. Guy.

1:41:56.400 --> 1:41:59.639
<v Speaker 1>When all said and done, and he knows that even

1:42:00.280 --> 1:42:02.680
<v Speaker 1>going after Donald Trump in this way makes him a

1:42:02.680 --> 1:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>hero to the left. Oh, they'll say he's being brave.

1:42:05.520 --> 1:42:07.559
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the great things about being a leftist.

1:42:08.040 --> 1:42:11.880
<v Speaker 1>You get to do what benefits you, what appeases and

1:42:12.000 --> 1:42:15.599
<v Speaker 1>pleases the mob, and then act like you're a hero

1:42:15.840 --> 1:42:18.240
<v Speaker 1>for doing it. How many times have you seen, even

1:42:17.960 --> 1:42:21.040
<v Speaker 1>on a college campus, you know, some student will stand

1:42:21.120 --> 1:42:24.719
<v Speaker 1>up to shout at a conservative speaker on a campus

1:42:24.840 --> 1:42:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and everyone in the room erupts in praise, and they'll say, Oh,

1:42:27.520 --> 1:42:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that person's so brave. Yes, it's so brave to chant

1:42:31.920 --> 1:42:34.000
<v Speaker 1>what the mob wants you to, to do what they

1:42:34.040 --> 1:42:40.400
<v Speaker 1>demand of you. That's really brave, isn't it. Donald Trump

1:42:42.240 --> 1:42:46.800
<v Speaker 1>was a president that the left will never forgive. They

1:42:46.800 --> 1:42:50.599
<v Speaker 1>won't forgive us for voting for him, and they will

1:42:50.680 --> 1:42:54.200
<v Speaker 1>not forgive him for the four years he put them through.

1:42:55.320 --> 1:42:58.240
<v Speaker 1>For holding the mirror up to the corporate media, showing

1:42:58.360 --> 1:43:00.599
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of frauds with a bunch of faith they are,

1:43:01.880 --> 1:43:05.000
<v Speaker 1>for taking the fight to the other side, for showing

1:43:05.040 --> 1:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that conservatism could be something that was a cultural phenomenon too.

1:43:10.920 --> 1:43:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Young people were excited to go out with their Maga

1:43:13.880 --> 1:43:18.800
<v Speaker 1>hats on and go to Trump rallies. Trump expanded the

1:43:19.160 --> 1:43:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party with unprecedented numbers of minority, particularly black and

1:43:25.360 --> 1:43:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Latino voters, coming out for him relative to GOP norms.

1:43:30.760 --> 1:43:32.720
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot about him that they hate, but

1:43:32.760 --> 1:43:37.120
<v Speaker 1>they always took it personally. They viewed Trump as someone

1:43:37.120 --> 1:43:41.679
<v Speaker 1>who betrayed his class. He betrayed the elites by running

1:43:41.720 --> 1:43:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the campaign he did, by saying the things he did

1:43:44.320 --> 1:43:48.320
<v Speaker 1>about them, by showing us all that the emperor had

1:43:48.360 --> 1:43:51.680
<v Speaker 1>no clothes. He became the emperor then said, look, you

1:43:51.680 --> 1:43:53.320
<v Speaker 1>can say I don't have clothing, but all those other

1:43:53.320 --> 1:43:56.720
<v Speaker 1>guys did either. It's really all a charade, this DC thing.

1:43:57.840 --> 1:44:01.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a farce and not a good one. And now

1:44:01.840 --> 1:44:05.360
<v Speaker 1>they want payback. Now they want to go after him.

1:44:05.360 --> 1:44:07.879
<v Speaker 1>And this was leaked. It was leaked to smear Trump.

1:44:08.840 --> 1:44:11.240
<v Speaker 1>This for all the Trump haters out there, for all

1:44:11.240 --> 1:44:14.479
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats that still believe that he colluded with Russia

1:44:14.640 --> 1:44:17.880
<v Speaker 1>or any number of other absurd things that are said,

1:44:18.920 --> 1:44:21.839
<v Speaker 1>for all those people, this is a vindication of sorts

1:44:21.920 --> 1:44:26.880
<v Speaker 1>all they're thinking about prosecuting him. But just remember that

1:44:27.040 --> 1:44:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump here went through two in one term, two

1:44:30.960 --> 1:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>impeachment proceedings, a special council, so many different, you know,

1:44:37.360 --> 1:44:41.240
<v Speaker 1>efforts in the media to create a narrative of him

1:44:41.240 --> 1:44:46.800
<v Speaker 1>as a traitor, as a rapist, as a thief, as

1:44:46.800 --> 1:44:49.479
<v Speaker 1>a criminal, as you know, just you go down the

1:44:49.560 --> 1:44:53.240
<v Speaker 1>list as a white nationalist. They threw all this stuff

1:44:53.240 --> 1:44:56.680
<v Speaker 1>at him, and just the fact that he made it

1:44:56.760 --> 1:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>through four years was a repudiation of their ability to

1:45:03.920 --> 1:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>set the narrative and determine the agenda. Right. They want

1:45:09.920 --> 1:45:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the power to be able to destroy with someone. When

1:45:12.280 --> 1:45:15.639
<v Speaker 1>the corporate media and the Democrat Party decides that somebody

1:45:15.720 --> 1:45:22.040
<v Speaker 1>must be ruined, nobody can withstand that, because then it's

1:45:22.520 --> 1:45:25.960
<v Speaker 1>like when somebody stands up to Amafia don right. If

1:45:25.960 --> 1:45:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you can get away with it, other people might think

1:45:27.720 --> 1:45:32.559
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. If Trump is able to endure all

1:45:32.600 --> 1:45:34.640
<v Speaker 1>that they threw at him, and so far he's been

1:45:34.680 --> 1:45:36.639
<v Speaker 1>able to. I know he didn't win a second term,

1:45:37.120 --> 1:45:39.880
<v Speaker 1>but they weren't able to get him removed from office,

1:45:40.240 --> 1:45:43.599
<v Speaker 1>and he beat them in twenty sixteen soundly and left

1:45:43.600 --> 1:45:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a movement left Make America Great Again as a rallying

1:45:47.400 --> 1:45:52.519
<v Speaker 1>cry for the right. If Trump could endure all they

1:45:52.560 --> 1:45:56.160
<v Speaker 1>threw at him, other people, Ronda Santis, you name it,

1:45:56.200 --> 1:46:02.639
<v Speaker 1>other other Republicans could come forward here and say that

1:46:02.840 --> 1:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>they could also withstand it all. They could be in

1:46:05.840 --> 1:46:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a position to take all the slings and arrows of

1:46:08.160 --> 1:46:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the left. They can't have that. That would then hurt

1:46:12.840 --> 1:46:15.200
<v Speaker 1>their power, which, as we've already discussed, is the single

1:46:15.280 --> 1:46:20.400
<v Speaker 1>most important thing to Democrats in all cases. So what

1:46:20.439 --> 1:46:23.840
<v Speaker 1>do they do now. They're deciding whether they're going to

1:46:23.880 --> 1:46:27.200
<v Speaker 1>convene I'm sorry, whether they're going to indict, to bring

1:46:27.320 --> 1:46:32.679
<v Speaker 1>formal charges via the grand jury against Donald Trump former.

1:46:32.920 --> 1:46:35.880
<v Speaker 1>And notice this is a state level, so there won't

1:46:35.880 --> 1:46:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be any pressure on Biden to for the sake of

1:46:39.479 --> 1:46:44.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, political harmony, not that that's a thing really,

1:46:44.560 --> 1:46:49.240
<v Speaker 1>but for the sake of political continuity. Remember we had

1:46:49.680 --> 1:46:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you had, you know, Ford after a Nixon um, there

1:46:54.360 --> 1:46:58.080
<v Speaker 1>there'll be a push for Biden to part. And if

1:46:58.120 --> 1:47:00.080
<v Speaker 1>it was a federal charge, and not that Biden wo

1:47:00.240 --> 1:47:01.679
<v Speaker 1>as I've said, but at least there will be something.

1:47:01.800 --> 1:47:04.720
<v Speaker 1>But this takes it entirely out of Biden sense. This

1:47:04.760 --> 1:47:07.240
<v Speaker 1>is entirely this is a state function. They'll bring charges

1:47:07.280 --> 1:47:11.040
<v Speaker 1>in New York against him. I'd like to think they

1:47:11.120 --> 1:47:14.720
<v Speaker 1>won't do this, but the Democrat base, I mean just

1:47:14.800 --> 1:47:17.320
<v Speaker 1>because not that they're above it, but they would have

1:47:17.360 --> 1:47:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to understand at some level how politically ruinous this would

1:47:22.200 --> 1:47:25.280
<v Speaker 1>be to any sense of unity and any sense of

1:47:25.600 --> 1:47:32.400
<v Speaker 1>a shared American political stability between Democrats and Republicans. This

1:47:32.439 --> 1:47:35.200
<v Speaker 1>would be not a shot across the bow. It would

1:47:35.200 --> 1:47:41.960
<v Speaker 1>be a a barrage right into the bow. And I

1:47:41.960 --> 1:47:45.400
<v Speaker 1>would like to think that they're not so vicious and

1:47:45.560 --> 1:47:49.160
<v Speaker 1>reckless that they would do this, But I can't. I

1:47:49.200 --> 1:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>can't say they won't. How could I say that the

1:47:52.160 --> 1:47:56.479
<v Speaker 1>people who lied about Russia collusion for four years are

1:47:56.560 --> 1:48:00.000
<v Speaker 1>unwilling to sully themselves in this way, go to this level.

1:48:00.240 --> 1:48:03.360
<v Speaker 1>How could I believe that the people who sent dozens

1:48:03.400 --> 1:48:07.200
<v Speaker 1>of men to arrest Roger Stone at five am with

1:48:07.360 --> 1:48:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a CNN crew watching to maximize the humiliation, long guns drawn,

1:48:12.360 --> 1:48:15.280
<v Speaker 1>like they were arresting Pablo Escobar in the nineties. They

1:48:15.280 --> 1:48:18.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't arrest him, they shot him. But how could I

1:48:18.840 --> 1:48:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think those kinds of people wouldn't be willing to bring

1:48:22.240 --> 1:48:27.200
<v Speaker 1>criminal charges against a former president for inflating and inflating

1:48:27.200 --> 1:48:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the worth of his assets for tax benefits. They're sending

1:48:31.960 --> 1:48:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the irs in a sense after Trump. That's the game

1:48:35.120 --> 1:48:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats play. Don't ever forget that. In recent days,

1:48:39.320 --> 1:48:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Warren, Senator Warren, former presidential candidate from Massachusetts, has

1:48:44.240 --> 1:48:48.040
<v Speaker 1>made it clear she thinks that this tripling of IRS

1:48:48.120 --> 1:48:50.720
<v Speaker 1>agents as part of the Biden infrastructure plan is a

1:48:50.760 --> 1:48:54.280
<v Speaker 1>great idea. Why do you think Democrats love the IRS

1:48:54.280 --> 1:48:57.080
<v Speaker 1>so much? Is it really? Yes, It's that they want

1:48:57.120 --> 1:48:59.760
<v Speaker 1>more revenue, which means taking more of your money. They

1:49:00.120 --> 1:49:02.559
<v Speaker 1>higher taxes, more taxes, more of your money to spend.

1:49:02.920 --> 1:49:05.280
<v Speaker 1>They know how to spend your money better than you do.

1:49:05.280 --> 1:49:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Don't you know that Democrats are convinced of it. But

1:49:09.479 --> 1:49:12.519
<v Speaker 1>then again there's a whole other level. And we remember

1:49:12.560 --> 1:49:14.679
<v Speaker 1>from the Obama years, and this is just a replay

1:49:14.720 --> 1:49:17.400
<v Speaker 1>of all the Obama strategies with Biden at the helmet

1:49:17.400 --> 1:49:20.439
<v Speaker 1>instead of Obama. The targeting of the Tea Party by

1:49:20.439 --> 1:49:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Lois Learner and the IRS. The IRS is a fearsome

1:49:25.080 --> 1:49:31.160
<v Speaker 1>weapon to be used by Democrats in partisan warfare. Who's

1:49:31.200 --> 1:49:32.840
<v Speaker 1>going to want to be the person who speaks out?

1:49:32.840 --> 1:49:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to want to be the conservative who's in

1:49:35.160 --> 1:49:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the crosshairs of an engorged a newly funded, enlarged IRS.

1:49:46.880 --> 1:49:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to want to be the person that has

1:49:48.400 --> 1:49:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to worry about that? Even if you're right and they

1:49:52.920 --> 1:49:55.639
<v Speaker 1>have nothing on you, think of all the lost nights

1:49:55.680 --> 1:49:57.559
<v Speaker 1>of sleep and all the all the expense and all

1:49:57.560 --> 1:50:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the exhaustion, the anxiety you go through. Better to just

1:50:01.240 --> 1:50:03.600
<v Speaker 1>go along, better to not get treated like Trump, a

1:50:03.640 --> 1:50:10.800
<v Speaker 1>former president. This is how they do their business. We

1:50:10.880 --> 1:50:13.240
<v Speaker 1>sit around on the right and say, oh, but what

1:50:13.320 --> 1:50:17.599
<v Speaker 1>about what about this historical precedent? Or wait, I see,

1:50:17.920 --> 1:50:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we're being too rough with the other side,

1:50:19.920 --> 1:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And we get lectures from Sass and Romney and Kinzinger

1:50:24.160 --> 1:50:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and other jackasses. But they say, let's try to throw

1:50:31.920 --> 1:50:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a former president in prison for some trumped up pardon

1:50:34.840 --> 1:50:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the phrase, nonsense. That's what they say. That's what they

1:50:38.920 --> 1:50:44.240
<v Speaker 1>come at us with, and we have to respond with

1:50:44.320 --> 1:50:48.479
<v Speaker 1>the full recognition of the severity of this act. If

1:50:48.560 --> 1:50:54.160
<v Speaker 1>they go forward with it. I can't say, I'm I

1:50:54.200 --> 1:50:58.240
<v Speaker 1>can't say it's inevitable in my mind, but I cannot

1:50:58.280 --> 1:51:00.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you by the same token, I can't tell you

1:51:00.280 --> 1:51:04.479
<v Speaker 1>they won't bring a criminal charge against Trump. Here. It's

1:51:04.520 --> 1:51:07.080
<v Speaker 1>looking more likely. And that's the whole point, isn't it.

1:51:07.280 --> 1:51:09.639
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna get to roll call today. We'll definitely

1:51:09.640 --> 1:51:12.120
<v Speaker 1>get into some of it tomorrow, but we'll have a

1:51:12.240 --> 1:51:15.439
<v Speaker 1>lengthy roll call later on this week, for sure. So

1:51:15.720 --> 1:51:21.040

<v Speaker 1>follow me there if you're not already. And this is

1:51:36.320 --> 1:51:38.760
<v Speaker 1>where we check in with our buddy producer Mark and

1:51:38.800 --> 1:51:40.360
<v Speaker 1>see what's going on. What is going on a producer

1:51:40.400 --> 1:51:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Mark world? Not much as usual? You keep coming to

1:51:44.320 --> 1:51:47.080
<v Speaker 1>me from doing What is your day? Like? When when

1:51:47.080 --> 1:51:50.599
<v Speaker 1>this show is done? What kind of things do you do? Honestly,

1:51:51.439 --> 1:51:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be very candid with the audience for a moment. See,

1:51:53.800 --> 1:51:56.240
<v Speaker 1>my wife still isn't here during the week, as you know,

1:51:56.280 --> 1:51:58.280
<v Speaker 1>we still haven't moved yet. So I just go play

1:51:58.360 --> 1:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>video games and then I watch the Mets or whatever

1:52:00.360 --> 1:52:03.439
<v Speaker 1>sports are at night. That's basically my lift. Now that's

1:52:03.520 --> 1:52:06.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of nice. Yeah, it sounds really nice, but when

1:52:06.280 --> 1:52:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you do it every day, it just gets mind numbingly boring.

1:52:09.600 --> 1:52:11.719
<v Speaker 1>What are the video games you're into these days? Usually

1:52:11.720 --> 1:52:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just playing NHL or well I just rotate to

1:52:15.320 --> 1:52:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the the sports games. Ah See, I just played the

1:52:18.240 --> 1:52:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Last of Us, which was a wreck from somebody on

1:52:21.200 --> 1:52:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Team Buck from a long time ago. It's it's very

1:52:24.280 --> 1:52:28.720
<v Speaker 1>much like a what's that Walking Dead? It's very much

1:52:28.720 --> 1:52:31.680
<v Speaker 1>like a Walking Dead rip off, but as as a

1:52:31.800 --> 1:52:34.840
<v Speaker 1>video game. But it's really it's a really good game

1:52:34.840 --> 1:52:37.920
<v Speaker 1>play experience, I will say. And I was then even

1:52:37.960 --> 1:52:39.800
<v Speaker 1>going to get the second one, which is the last

1:52:39.880 --> 1:52:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of US two, but I've I've been told that it's

1:52:42.000 --> 1:52:44.639
<v Speaker 1>very social justice e and there's all kinds of stuff.

1:52:45.040 --> 1:52:46.799
<v Speaker 1>There's all kinds of stuff in there, so I'm probably

1:52:46.840 --> 1:52:49.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna probably not gonna get too into that. But the

1:52:49.680 --> 1:52:53.080
<v Speaker 1>only sports game that I play on PS four is

1:52:53.200 --> 1:52:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the FIFA game. What's the best PS four sports game?

1:52:57.760 --> 1:53:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I would say NHL is usually the top one. Could

1:53:01.560 --> 1:53:03.479
<v Speaker 1>I play it? Even if somebody who doesn't really understand

1:53:03.560 --> 1:53:05.160
<v Speaker 1>or know much about hockey? Oh yeah, that was the

1:53:05.200 --> 1:53:06.720
<v Speaker 1>thing we did in college all the time. Even our

1:53:06.720 --> 1:53:09.240
<v Speaker 1>friends that didn't like hockey at all would love the

1:53:09.320 --> 1:53:12.920
<v Speaker 1>video game. I will have to check this out. So there,

1:53:13.000 --> 1:53:15.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe we can join like a co op thing

1:53:15.000 --> 1:53:16.840
<v Speaker 1>where I play with you too. You know, Oh, I

1:53:16.880 --> 1:53:18.360
<v Speaker 1>think you are the one person in the world that

1:53:18.400 --> 1:53:21.479
<v Speaker 1>could probably beat well, there we go. We'll see about that, there,

1:53:21.840 --> 1:53:25.160
<v Speaker 1>wise guy, we'll see about that. Everybody, let us know

1:53:25.280 --> 1:53:28.160
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts. Please right into the Buck Saxton Show Team Bucket.
