1
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody to a new episode of Your Wrong.

2
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,679
I'm Molly Hemingway, editor in chief of The Federalist, and

3
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,719
I'm here with David Harsani, senior writer at The Washington Examiner.

4
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:31,559
We loved hearing from everybody this week. It was a

5
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:34,000
It was a big week. It was a big week

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,600
for David Harsani, who needs to tell us what happened

7
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:42,520
to himself after last week's episode was broadcast or aired.

8
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: The reason Molly is starting the show is because I'm

9
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,759
having some trouble because I'm in a cast. I had

10
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,520
a what I would call a pretty serious bike accident.

11
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,359
Broke my hand and broke my arm and hurt my knee,

12
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:03,200
and it ruined my helmet. I landed on my head

13
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:05,200
really hard. If I wasn't wearing a helmet, I don't

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,760
think i'd be alive. So I'm not one of these

15
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:10,239
people who lectures anyone on what they should be doing.

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,840
But if you're writing, if you're cycling, and if you're

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,519
cycling as a sport like I am, you know I'm

18
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:19,560
going relatively fast, you should be wearing a helmet.

19
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: Like cycling in a way that's in the vicinity of cars.

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,879
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, since this happened to me, I've heard, you know,

21
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:30,200
people have told me horror stories, and I don't know

22
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:32,159
that i'd be alive without a helmet. Maybe I would be,

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,359
but it would have been something far more serious than

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,120
what I'm experiencing, you know. And it's my right hand

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,120
in a cast, so I can't do anything with my

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,599
left hand. I realized it's very difficult. But so I

27
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,480
appreciate moll you taking the lead today.

28
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:48,879
Speaker 1: You're not ambidextrous, no.

29
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: Whatever, the opposite of that is, that's what I am.

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,799
I showed you my scribbles before I can barely write.

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it was.

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Pretty traumatic in the sense of, you know, fifty five

33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920
and it was I think maybe the worst accident I've

34
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:07,480
been in physically, you know, it was pretty messed up. Yeah,

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,680
I'm fine now. I already feel a lot better.

36
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: So when it happened, you knew you'd messed up, like

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,199
things were messed up with someone there to help you,

38
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:14,680
or did you?

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,039
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so I yeah, I ride the Capitol Trail,

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,120
which is from you know, Richmond to Williamsburg. I don't

41
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:22,800
ride the whole thing, it's like fifty miles, but I

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,120
do ride parts of it and sort of there are

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,199
a few driveways there, and a car just kind of

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,120
zoomed out and I just I don't exactly know what happened,

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,879
but I ended up flying over my bike I think

46
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,439
six to ten feet something like that, landing on my head.

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,479
So yeah, so a nurse, so there's a school there,

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,919
and a nurse kind of ran out to help me.

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,680
I got up. I'm like, I'll be fine, but then

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,360
I like almost passed out. I couldn't really see for

51
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,439
a while. I was very hazy. I had to lay down.

52
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,960
The ambulance came. It's a little embarrassing. A lot of

53
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
people stopped to help me, very nice people. There's a

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,120
good community sort of with the you know, cyclers there,

55
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:05,199
and you know, I went to the emergency room and

56
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:08,280
here we are cast, which allows me to do nothing.

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,639
So I've been writing call. I've written three columns since then,

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:17,639
using my right left point run exactly. I use the

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,879
audio to text programs and they are just terrible. They

60
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:24,560
just do not capture the words I'm saying. Maybe I

61
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:26,919
have some crazy accent or something. I don't know, but

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,960
that's been difficult. But you know what, I will appreciate

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,560
my right hand a lot more once I'm out of

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,159
this cast, though I may need surgery. We'll see about that.

65
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,039
Speaker 1: Yeah. I when I tore some tendons, like more than

66
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,759
a decade ago in my left ankle foot thing, I

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,800
realized that I did not appreciate the use of my

68
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:49,680
limbs as much as I should. And my pastor even

69
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:51,759
said something about that, like when you're laying on your back,

70
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,000
you're looking heavenward, you know, you're thinking about how much

71
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,960
you're not appreciating all the all the gifts that God

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,919
has given us. But I am sure glad you're alive too.

73
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,919
Tell you this that my brother once went bum over

74
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,400
handlebars and when he was at the University of Colorado

75
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:14,680
Boulder and tore his scrotum, so it could have been worse.

76
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm laughing at that. I know he's fine,

77
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,839
so everything's fine, but it is horrible. It is I

78
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,399
you know, I have I have not spoken to a

79
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:29,360
cyclist who's been doing it for a while, who hasn't

80
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:32,399
been in some big, horrible, you know, accident. And I

81
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:34,040
hope this will be my last one. But I can't

82
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,600
wait to get back at it. It's a great you know,

83
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:40,639
it's a great exercise. I love doing it so but

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,040
thank you.

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope you get better soon. What's that? How

86
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,120
many weeks do you have to be in the cast?

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell you between you and me, I'm

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,439
not gonna be in it much longer because I can't

89
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:52,120
take it and I'd rather like deal with the pain.

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,639
Speaker 1: Or whatever happened having a bent arm or whatever.

91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I may have some weird knuckle thing going on

92
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,920
after this, said my doctor. But you know what, I

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,079
don't it sounds. I can tell you.

94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,759
Speaker 1: This reminds me that again, like more than ten years ago,

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,480
I was cutting an avocado. I think I've told this before,

96
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,959
but I was cutting an avocado after I had been

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,399
already drinking tequila. I think I was making like an

98
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:20,040
emergency batch of guacamole, as you do, and I cut

99
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:22,560
into my finger. It was so bad, not a good

100
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,600
scene at all, and had to go to the emergency room.

101
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,439
And later I was talking to a friend of mine

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,360
who's this great nurse, and I asked her, like when

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,360
it would when my finger function would go back to normal,

104
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,600
and she was like, oh, yeah, it's probably never going

105
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:37,439
to go back to normal.

106
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: So told me I'm sitting them like, I'm like in

107
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:43,759
the bed in the emergency room and some nurse just

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,519
comes over and sticks me with a tennis shot. That

109
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,839
her more than anything. But anyway, yeah I'm fine. Oh yeah.

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,879
Speaker 1: Also, when I tore my tenons, another my physical therapist,

111
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,680
I also asked her when is it going to be

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,920
back to normal? And she said how old are you?

113
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:02,920
And I told her and she was like, oh, yeah, no,

114
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:05,600
you don't heel when you're your age. You don't like

115
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:06,360
completely heal.

116
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,519
Speaker 2: I tore attending once in my life. Yeah, that was

117
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,720
I think the most painful entry I've ever had. The

118
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,959
tendon tear. That is some painful stuff.

119
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: It was pretty bad. Yeah, but anyway, I pray you

120
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:23,800
get better. Okay. So this weekend, I was really busy

121
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,759
with a bunch of family stuff and I crawl into

122
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,040
bed late on Saturday night and I just checked my

123
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,040
phone and I was like, wait, what's happening in Los Angeles?

124
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,040
Saturday seemed to be a day of great activity in

125
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:39,600
Los Angeles? Did you track what was happening with the

126
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,279
riots there?

127
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: I was turned off for a while. Yes, I was

128
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:46,839
kind of surprised when I saw that was happening as well.

129
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:52,879
But then I caught up and I think it's quite interesting.

130
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:54,839
I think there's a number of layers to this story.

131
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:56,800
The first, of course, part of it, of course, is

132
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,879
that we are here and this is happening because democratic administration,

133
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:05,279
especially the Biden administration. But actually it goes farther back

134
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:08,720
than that allowed millions of people who shouldn't be here

135
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:13,000
to overrun the border and stay and be in this country. So,

136
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:16,519
as we've talked about before, expelling them and deporting them,

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,160
which is completely within the law, is a difficult situation now,

138
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,560
you know, more difficult than it probably should be. So

139
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,920
I guess the first thing I want to talk about

140
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:30,839
is how democrats, and I mean from media all the

141
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:35,720
way through politicians, the mayor of Los Angeles, the governor

142
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:40,240
of California, are again doing what they always do, justifying

143
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:44,079
and rationalizing left wing violence or excusing it in some

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,199
way or giving the people who engage in it some

145
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:50,959
kind of dispensation. This is more left wing violence. It's

146
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:54,319
the Free Palestine people, you know, it's the Black Lives

147
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,839
Matter people, it's the you know, anti capitalist or whatever.

148
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,319
I mean. It's constantly the left wing, and we are

149
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,959
always told that it's you know that MAGA is about

150
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,680
to rise up and you know, become a terroristic movement,

151
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,079
when it's obviously the left. I mean, I think the

152
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,120
first thing that we should talk about left wing violence

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,040
in this country has been out of control for you know,

154
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,120
for a very long time decades.

155
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, violence can happen from anywhere politically, of course, yeah,

156
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:23,000
but there's just no question that far and away the

157
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360
most of the political violence comes from the left. It's

158
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,319
kind of a open thing that they talk about. They

159
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:34,000
have guides on how to foment violent riots and how

160
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,000
to achieve results with them. And corporate media are in

161
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,240
a bit of a pickle because they acted like the

162
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:45,759
few hour riot at the Capitol on January sixth was

163
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,440
the worst thing that ever happened in the history of mankind,

164
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,679
in part because some of the bad actors that day

165
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080
went after policemen. And then you look in la and

166
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,240
they're trying to kill a bunch of policemen, not just

167
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,919
like having clashes because the police are there, like trying

168
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:06,279
to kill policemen, and the entire riots started. I mean,

169
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,039
there's a lot I want to talk about here, but

170
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,679
one of the most interesting things I learned from about

171
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,720
this weekend's riots was something that Tom Homan said on MSNBC.

172
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:22,759
So the conventional narrative, which has just been accepted uncritically,

173
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,919
is that the reason why all of a sudden, very

174
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,679
well financed and completely organized, as in organized over the

175
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,279
course of months, the reason why that all broke out

176
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,039
on Saturday or Friday night or whenever it was, was

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,440
because Ice rounded up some illegals at the home depot.

178
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,039
And that's a very well, it's a you know, that's

179
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:45,360
the kind of story where you go, oh, well, I

180
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,960
want to round up the really bad lawbreakers, like the

181
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,360
ones who break the law coming into the country and

182
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:55,600
then also rape, you know, my sister, But I don't

183
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:58,039
want to round up the people who are just breaking

184
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,399
the law and working illegally. That actually would have been

185
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,919
much more sympathetic a few years ago than now, when

186
00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,799
people just realize that whether or not you're a violent criminal,

187
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,080
illegal alien or not, just illegal aliens themselves are causing

188
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:17,600
a great deal of problems in our country, whether it's

189
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,279
like you know, the number of people who are in

190
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,519
our public schools or at our hospitals, or causing traffic

191
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,159
accidents or whatever. You know that you don't have to

192
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,919
be a rapist to be a problem. But it turns

193
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:33,440
out that narrative wasn't even true that the reaction was

194
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,879
because Ice, because sorry, they had started to go after

195
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,279
the cartels in La. So there apparently has been an

196
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,159
investigation into money laundering by the Mexican cartels that have

197
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,600
been controlling our border for quite some time now, and

198
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,440
as they started to make a move on the cartels

199
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:57,720
is when the riots began. And a good on our

200
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,799
federal law enforcement for actually understanding the roll the cartels

201
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:04,799
play in this criminal enterprise and how money laundering is

202
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:08,200
an additional problem in addition to the human trafficking and

203
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,799
the drug trafficking and all of the breakdown of law

204
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,799
and order. But yeah, I thought that was interesting, and

205
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:15,480
people haven't really made a big deal out of it,

206
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,679
but it seems like more should be talked about this

207
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,320
attempt to go after the cartels in La.

208
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even yes, I agree with that, But even

209
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,320
if they were going after people who worked in agriculture

210
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,120
or whatever, or peaceful in general, who have great sympathy

211
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,120
for actually and who you know, I mean, they're still

212
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,039
here illegally in ICE is allowed to round them up

213
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:46,919
and deport them. It's legal. The truth, though, is that

214
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,879
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department reported, before any National

215
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:56,159
Guard was deployed, that a crowd of one thousand protesters

216
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,000
I'm going to quote here, became increasingly agitated, throwing objects

217
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,600
and shibiting, violent behavior towards federal agents and deputy sheriffs,

218
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:08,639
federal agents. Donald Trump doesn't have to ask anyone to

219
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,720
deploy the National Guard. He can, and that's usually the

220
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,159
way it's been done. But you have a governor who

221
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:16,879
doesn't want to enforce the law and is not protecting

222
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:22,159
federal agents. I don't like the idea of military policing civilians,

223
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,440
I really don't. But if you have a government that's

224
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,000
not going to protect federal agents, that's a problem. Now

225
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,600
I'll give you another quote from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bath.

226
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,200
She said, if immigration rates had not happened here, we

227
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,200
would not have the disorder that went on last night.

228
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,080
So what is she saying. She's saying that the very

229
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:47,679
idea that the federal government that ice agents are enforcing

230
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:52,360
law is why the illegality happened. So if you didn't

231
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:57,480
enforce the law, legality would illegality wouldn't happen. So I

232
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,559
think you need to send in the National Guard. This

233
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:02,679
is a place that is putting your agents in danger,

234
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:06,679
not allowing them to uphold the law. Karen Bass said

235
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,360
that she was in touch with like forgot what the

236
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:12,879
euphemism was, but for groups that are trying to undermine

237
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:16,559
federal agents from doing their job, I don't know how

238
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,759
big the riots. Yeah, go on.

239
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:20,159
Speaker 1: You got just so much to say even about this stuff.

240
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,000
First off, I was just thinking about something i'd seen

241
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,960
on Twitter about how the entire state of California has

242
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,799
claimed to be a sanctuary against enforcement of immigration law.

243
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,519
And that's a problem for California because the Supreme Court

244
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000
has actually ruled on the issue of whether states can

245
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:47,240
have a different immigration enforcement than the federal government. So

246
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,159
when I don't remember which president it was, but some

247
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:55,879
president wasn't enforcing immigration, wasn't like enforcing the border or

248
00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:58,559
something like that, and Arizona sued it must.

249
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,639
Speaker 2: Have been a li It was Obama.

250
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Obama, okay, And they sued in the Supreme Court

251
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,519
said no, like the Obama gets to set the immigration

252
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,840
law and not the state of Arizona. So already California

253
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,159
is at odds here, but the National Guard issue of

254
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,360
you know, they've been brought out to protect federal law

255
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,360
enforcement in a state that does not recognize the authority

256
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:25,879
of those Feds and protect federal buildings. One of the

257
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:29,440
things that was so upsetting about the disparate treatment of

258
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:34,080
the twenty twenty BLM riots versus the afternoon protest to

259
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:37,840
the Capitol in twenty twenty one is that the BLM

260
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,960
rioters went after the executive branch. They went after the

261
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,279
White House, and they caused I think it was sixty

262
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,039
serious injuries of federal law enforcement officers. They set out

263
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:51,279
buildings on fire at the White House, they forced the

264
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,480
President into a bunker, for which they were very pleased

265
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,440
with themselves. And by the way, the media loved it.

266
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:00,639
So did Mitt Romney. He marched with the bl rioters,

267
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:04,919
and that was an attack on the seat of government.

268
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,360
But when the media loved it, they treated it as

269
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,600
if this was like a noble cause. The BLM rioters

270
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,519
sieged a federal courthouse in Portland for months, not like

271
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:19,840
even in an afternoon or an evening, but for months

272
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:24,840
they kept the Marc O. Hatfield Federal courthouse under siege,

273
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,399
and nobody seemed to care. They burned a police precinct

274
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,080
to the ground, like a six story police precinct in

275
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,960
Minneapolis to the ground, in addition to the looting and

276
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,440
the arson and the killings and all of that stuff.

277
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:42,080
And back in twenty twenty, you'll remember that Tom Cotton

278
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,440
suggested that the National Guard be brought out to quell

279
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:49,240
the riots and to restore peace and law and order.

280
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Even at the time he published this in The New

281
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,519
York Times, it was a position supported by a majority

282
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,600
of Americans, but only one person thought it was worthy

283
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,919
of discussion at the New York Times, and he got

284
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,519
fired I think or he quite under pressure, I don't know,

285
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,120
or after being treated horribly. The New York Times imploded

286
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:12,559
over the publication of this call for the National Guard,

287
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,399
and Donald Trump knew, so he wanted to bring the

288
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,320
National Guard up. He wanted to bring the National Guard

289
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,960
out on January sixth, you might remember, but Muriel Bowser

290
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,919
would not approve it and Nancy Pelosi would not approve it.

291
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,679
Then when the riot actually happened, then they claimed that

292
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:31,600
they would like the National Guard immediately. Well, it actually

293
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,799
takes time, as we're seeing even in these last few days.

294
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:37,039
It takes time to bring the National Guard out. So

295
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,159
the better option would have been to do what Donald

296
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:42,679
Trump wanted, which was to bring in ten thousand National

297
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:48,679
guardsmen to protect the Capitol and the people protesting in

298
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,080
and around January sixth. And he knows now that he's

299
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,159
not going to wait for Gavin Newsom to decide it's okay.

300
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:03,480
And he's also not going to deal with complete unrest

301
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,200
and riots hurting the entire summer and hurting Americans all

302
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,720
across the country like we all had to endure in

303
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:11,359
twenty twenty.

304
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that spread quickly, very quickly. And I'd also say this,

305
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,319
I am if you're a city and you're a sanctuary city,

306
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:26,400
I've seen lawyers say that, you know, municipalities can do that.

307
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,400
So you don't want to your local you don't want

308
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,559
your local police, for instance, to arrest illegals, that's fine.

309
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,920
But when you are undermining federal law enforcement from doing

310
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,319
their job, which is what California does, that's a completely

311
00:17:40,319 --> 00:17:45,799
different story. But let's talk about this. I want to quote.

312
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:55,480
Here's a quote from Brian Stelter on CNN. He says

313
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:58,759
that all his Los Angeles friends texted him and assured

314
00:17:58,839 --> 00:18:02,119
him that ninety nine nine percent of LA is going

315
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,839
about their Sunday normally. This is like a reenactment of

316
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,640
the UH mostly peaceful stuff. January sixth, I was in DC.

317
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,359
I went and went around my day normally, did you

318
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,839
know what I mean? Like most people went, you know,

319
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,119
went about their day as if nothing was a miss

320
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,920
for almost any event Charlottesville. Yet those were covered, you know,

321
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,920
all day alone for years, this incessant need like the

322
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,920
the there's the politicians who diminish what's going on, and

323
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,960
then there's the media, which tries to tell you that

324
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,880
what you're seeing is not even real. So I had

325
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,519
a little deja vu, right. I heard there was a

326
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,200
wreckoning in media. I heard that things are going to

327
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:45,519
get better. I heard you know this and that, and

328
00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:48,400
yet the same people, the same dude is still on

329
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,200
CNN doing the same stuff that that station. Because if

330
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,720
you'll remember, the mostly peaceful UH story was from I

331
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,799
think Wisconsin when they had that big right there, fiery

332
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:05,200
but mostly peaceful protesters after police shooting. So we're back

333
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,279
at it again. People in Los Angeles, which is a sprawling,

334
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,240
huge metropolis, don't want their lives to be, you know,

335
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,839
to have anarchy in their lives.

336
00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 3: Was this whole Doge thing the best idea? The Watch

337
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,279
Dot on Wall Street podcast with Chris Markowski. Every day

338
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,359
Chris helps unpack the connection between politics and the economy

339
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,920
and how it affects your wallet. After trying to save

340
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,440
the government trillions of dollars in spending, Congress is voting

341
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,799
to only keep nine billion dollars of the Doge cuts.

342
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,400
Are they totally insulting our intelligence? Whether it's happening in

343
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,880
DC or down on Wall Street, it's affecting you financially.

344
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: Be informed.

345
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 3: Check out the Watch Dot on Wall Street podcast with

346
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,640
Chris Markowski on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

347
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: First off, I just want to like put a point

348
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,359
on what you just said about Brian Stelter's idiotic tweet

349
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,920
that his wealthy white friends in Los Angeles were not

350
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,240
noticing any riots in their neighborhood. As you point out,

351
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:11,480
Los Angeles is a sprawling city. I don't know how

352
00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:14,519
many millions of people live there, but it has eighty

353
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:17,519
eight cities. Like eighty eight cities and towns make up

354
00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:21,319
the County of Los Angeles. It goes for five hundred

355
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,640
and two point seven square miles. It goes forty four

356
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,839
miles north to south and twenty nine miles east to west.

357
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,119
So Brian Stelter saying that his buddies in the wealthy

358
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,839
enclaves of Los Angeles hadn't noticed anything, is like saying.

359
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,039
It would be like if Brian Stelter said that he

360
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,920
talked to someone in Baltimore on January sixth, and they

361
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:52,359
actually did not see any rioting at the Capitol, Like it's.

362
00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: So insane, But it's a standard that you would never

363
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,759
use for some right wing thing, right like Charlottesville. Well,

364
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,000
where Charlottesville happened, the tiki torch Nazis were out. First

365
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:05,519
of all, every conservative had to answer for that, you

366
00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:07,799
know what I mean. You had to like beg everyone

367
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:10,680
for forgiveness that it happened, Like you actually agreed with

368
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:13,079
those people. You were part of that movement in some

369
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,680
way your conduct. You had to denounce it, which was

370
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,200
a way to give you ownership of what was happening.

371
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,160
But no one even though, and I throw in the

372
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,759
free Palestine stuff too, they use this. People use the

373
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:28,319
same rhetoric. They're part of the same movement. They have

374
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,400
the same ideas, the same ideology, and they never they

375
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,279
act like it has nothing to do with them. Sometimes

376
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:36,480
they act like it's not even happening really, you know,

377
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:41,720
and it is just so frustrating. But again, I just

378
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:44,079
feel like it's it's not the same anymore. I don't

379
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:46,039
think people buy it. I bet you if you polled

380
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,079
people in California right now, most of them would want

381
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,240
the National Guard there, you know, bringing back order.

382
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. But one of the things

383
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:59,640
that's interesting is polling indicates that by and large, the

384
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,079
vast majority of Americans support Donald Trump on his immigration policies,

385
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,880
and they, you know, he wasn't quiet about what he

386
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,319
wanted to do with the deportation of people who are

387
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,880
here illegally. People voted for it. But even though eighty

388
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:17,759
eight percent of Republicans and like sixty percent of independence

389
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:22,119
are totally on board, only twenty five percent of Democrats,

390
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:24,640
so seventy five percent of Democrats are very opposed to

391
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,440
the deportation of illegal immigrants, And so in the Democrat

392
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Party there's not really an incentive to speak out against

393
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,599
this at all. You saw John Fetterman say that he

394
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,960
thought this looked bad for Democrats. And you've heard a

395
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,640
couple other people say this looks bad for Democrats. You

396
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,599
have not seen anyone say trying to kill police officers

397
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000
is immoral. It's not just, you know, illegal, it's a

398
00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:51,799
moral and you should stop because it's wrong. They say

399
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:55,920
you should stop because it makes the Democrat Party look bad,

400
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,640
which is weak sauce. And then most of them aren't

401
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,599
even saying that because they're actually so reporting it. So

402
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,559
you are going to see these riots expand. The plan

403
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,440
is for them to expand nationwide. As I was driving

404
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,720
home from the airport just now, I saw that left

405
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,200
wingers were on and overpass. The movement is called No Kings,

406
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,039
which I think must have resonance among left wingers, but

407
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:20,680
I don't think it does with normal people. And so

408
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:24,839
they're calling for the abolition of ice. One of my

409
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,279
wealthy white neighbors, I don't have any idea if they're wealthy,

410
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,039
but their house looks nice has a flag out that

411
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:39,039
says abolish ice in my neighborhood. Like they want to

412
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,839
abolish rule of law when it comes to borders and

413
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,720
border security, and they're being open about it, and in

414
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,799
their echo chamber that's actually really resonant. What's changed is,

415
00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:52,319
as you note, nobody in the rest of America is

416
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,079
like falling forward anymore. Everyone understands these things are well organized,

417
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,880
well funded by a bevy of left wing powerful foundations.

418
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,279
They don't like the unrest and the chaos and the

419
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:05,039
and the arson and the looting like we saw in

420
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,200
La this week, you know, looting the shops of immigrants

421
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,160
and stealing their cash registers and putting them out of business.

422
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,759
People don't like that stuff, and they're not going to

423
00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:19,200
be bullied into liking it on such an unfavorable cause.

424
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,440
So with BLM, you had this like like what we

425
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:27,279
called like mass psychosis, that everyone was forced to bend

426
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,839
the knee. Literally they would get on their knees and

427
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,319
bow down to the Marxist BLM movement. It was embarrassing.

428
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,440
Anyone who did it should be ashamed for the rest

429
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,880
of their life unless they repent and turn away from it.

430
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,640
But you had like everyone turning their Facebook things black

431
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:47,920
and just like getting totally caught up in it.

432
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,039
Speaker 2: And do you remember the remember or Nancy Pelosi kneeling

433
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,440
doing that whole black panther thing or whatever. It was

434
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,160
just embarrassing.

435
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,799
Speaker 1: And Romney marching with them and all that, and like

436
00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:01,759
all the corporations gave a hundred billion dollars to Marxist causes.

437
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,480
By the way, BLM's big thing was tranny stuff, and

438
00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:08,359
they you wonder like why did tranny stuff get so crazy?

439
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,720
So you know so quickly, Well, that was one of

440
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:14,720
BLM's main initiatives, in addition to the prohamas. They're also

441
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:19,000
for transing children. You know, it wasn't really even about

442
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,680
race stuff, really, although I think they were particularly concerned

443
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,960
about black trans children getting healthy body parts cut off

444
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:32,200
or something. But this is not even a sympathetic cause.

445
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:36,400
Breaking laws is not a sympathetic cause in the same

446
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,839
way that BLM could be portrayed as a sympathetic cause.

447
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: So many things to say. So, first of all, you know,

448
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,960
the rich white people live in in cloistered, you know, neighborhoods,

449
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,920
of course, never care when you know, you know, a

450
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,480
working class neighborhood has to suffer through this sort of thing.

451
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,039
But you will remember when DeSantis drop just a few

452
00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:01,440
illegal immigrants off and was Martha's vineyard or something, there

453
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:04,079
was like a complete meltdown of that community. They couldn't

454
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,920
handle it. At all.

455
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,839
Speaker 1: Do you remember who they called out to help, Oh.

456
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:08,599
Speaker 2: A national guard.

457
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,599
Speaker 1: National Guard.

458
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,519
Speaker 2: That's great.

459
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,079
Speaker 1: So you can use national guard to get rid of

460
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:17,559
immigrants ins in neighborhoods. We don't want them in, but

461
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,400
you can't do it.

462
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: Then there was this sort of logical formulation that you

463
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:26,640
mentioned that I saw some Prohamas people doing too, Like

464
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,880
it's bad to kill, it's bad to firebomb Jews because

465
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,440
it's bad for the Palestinian cause you know not that

466
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:36,400
it's just immoral. So here's a Newsome, Gavin Newsom, don't

467
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,880
give Trump what he wants. Stay calm, stay peaceful. How

468
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,400
about state calm and stay peaceful, because that's moral and

469
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,039
normal and violence is wrong. Adam Schiff says something similar.

470
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,839
Violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never okay. Indeed,

471
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,480
doing so plays directly into the hands of those who

472
00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:59,920
seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own games.

473
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,799
So they're weaponizing the situation because they're following the law.

474
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:07,480
This is kind of a perverse partisan virtue signaling. I

475
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:10,000
just can't imagine a normal person reads that and thinks

476
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,920
it's okay. I just I hope not.

477
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,039
Speaker 1: Well, we're also you know, during the BLM riots of

478
00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:20,319
twenty twenty, a lot of interesting things were deployed. There

479
00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:24,599
were massive legitimate public protests that would be at the

480
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,559
front of the BLM action. Violent people would be behind

481
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:31,680
and so they would be kind of hidden with shields

482
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,920
and otherwise they would lob projectiles over the peaceful people,

483
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:39,160
but at any law enforcement, and then if the law

484
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,240
enforcement wanted to respond, they had to like go through

485
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:43,880
the peaceful people. It was very you know, it's very

486
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,440
well thought out. These people really think through their tactics.

487
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:48,480
One of the problems and one of the things that

488
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,599
they're really trying to gin up like the left wing media,

489
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,640
and they're really really really working hard, is to get

490
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:59,319
a big group of actual Americans protesting like they did

491
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,160
in twenty six seen so that they can employ the

492
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,799
same tactics of taking over the White House or taking

493
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:07,640
over the Federal Courthouse or burning down whatever they want

494
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,160
to burn down ice facilities. But they need more real

495
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,960
people to do it because right now everyone can look

496
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,920
at it and go, oh, those are professional activists, Like

497
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,640
these people are going to the truck and getting the

498
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:24,119
riot shields and the helmets that you just recommended. Everybody

499
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,440
get I don't think you meant the protesters, but you know,

500
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:31,319
they're getting expensive material and it's very well organized. You

501
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,079
can see. You know, if you're a journalist, you get

502
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,519
on all these publicity lists. So all of the Soros

503
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,119
funded groups are sending out emails saying how much they

504
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,200
support these riots, and they're trying to make them go nationwide.

505
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,079
I would not be shocked if they did within a

506
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:47,720
few days here, and listen.

507
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:49,559
Speaker 2: I want to say this just so that people don't

508
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,319
misunderstand kind of the broader point. You can have a

509
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:55,599
move like's say I'm pro live. If someone went and

510
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,359
shot some people over that, cause, that doesn't mean the

511
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,000
cause itself is wrong. I would immediately condemn that and

512
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:08,720
say it's evil and terrible, right, which Democrats don't do

513
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,240
in these cases. But I think that we are now

514
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,359
seeing that with the Free Palestine stuff, with the BLM stuff,

515
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,119
and now with this stuff, that violence is central almost

516
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:21,680
to the cause, or not violence always, but disruption. If

517
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,480
you want to protest, that's fine, But these people are

518
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,920
closing down streets, They're inhibiting other people from moving around.

519
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,359
That's not protected by the First Amendment, you know, So

520
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:31,960
I I have abused that.

521
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I can say publicly about what you

522
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880
what should happen to you if you are shutting down

523
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,119
a highway while someone's trying to get to the hospital

524
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,039
to deliver a baby in a crisis pregnancy. Like I

525
00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:44,119
actually think it's much more serious than we take it.

526
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:44,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

527
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: No, well, it's like, oh, they shut down the highway.

528
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:48,640
It's like, do you understand what that does to people

529
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:52,279
and their lives? Like fire trucks can't get to fires,

530
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:55,880
and people can't get the medical care they need, and

531
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,880
even things like a woman can't get to a job

532
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,640
she needs to get to so she can put food

533
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,240
on her kids table. Like it's not funny, haha.

534
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I do not exaggerate when I say

535
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,759
that the cost of shutdowns like that going to the

536
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:13,000
billions of dollars of time that people and you know

537
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,880
that people lose and all that. I'm not making that up.

538
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,400
I don't have the stats in front of me, but

539
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,680
BLM did that quite often, and this is a huge

540
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,160
price to pay. And it's not a First Amendment right

541
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,079
to stop other people from moving around. In fact, it's

542
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:27,799
the opposite.

543
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: So I just want to say a few other things

544
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,559
really quickly about the media coverage of this, because the

545
00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:37,839
propaganda has ramped up twenty twenty style and The New

546
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,200
York Times had a piece where they said, do not

547
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:47,200
believe your lying eyes about these riots. Trust us, you know,

548
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,119
the New York Times to tell you that these riots

549
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:52,319
aren't really happening. And you're seeing that at CNN and

550
00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:55,720
other left wing Democrat media. They're just telling people, do

551
00:30:55,759 --> 00:30:59,200
not believe what you're seeing. These are deep fakes and

552
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:02,359
cheap fakes. Was it like last week when they were

553
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,680
claiming that they were sorry for lying to you and

554
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,000
saying that videos of Biden were cheap fakes and that

555
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:09,759
you shouldn't believe your lying eyes.

556
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:13,079
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not idiots. We realized the whole city

557
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:15,559
of Los Angeles is not burning down. That doesn't mean

558
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:18,759
that doesn't mean that there isn't something happening. Can I

559
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:23,400
also quickly just interject, like this idea that someone shows

560
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,480
up here, like let's say the National Guard showed up

561
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,920
on my street, would I go out and throw them

562
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,599
molotov cocktails at them? No? I don't understand why that's

563
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,480
a provocation for you, Like upholding the law provokes you

564
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:36,000
to violence doesn't provoke me to violence. And even if

565
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,160
I disagreed with what was going on, there are legal

566
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,839
avenues to take. There are you could protest legally, you

567
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,759
can whatever.

568
00:31:43,079 --> 00:31:46,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, I don't recognize the justness of laws

569
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,200
about citizenship and borders. They just don't. Like Gavin Newsom doesn't,

570
00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:53,960
Karen Bass doesn't, Adam Shift doesn't, and the protesters and

571
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,319
the rioters don't. They think there should be no borders,

572
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:00,319
and that anyone who wants to come here and use

573
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,559
my money to go to school or get healthcare, or

574
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,440
get food or get you know, whatever the thing is,

575
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:11,799
they think they have a right to that your money

576
00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:14,400
and my money, and that it's unjust to say that.

577
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,400
In fact, civilization does require certain rules for entry into

578
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:20,440
our society.

579
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: Civil disobedience is something else as well, like you can

580
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,599
block a road, but then there are consequences. But these

581
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,759
soros DA types, like in New York, Alvin Bragg, they

582
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:33,400
take over a whole library, they vandalize it, they don't

583
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,799
let other kids study or do the things they want

584
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:39,039
to do, and then he doesn't even charge them. I

585
00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:42,200
suspect in California, a lot of these people who are arrested.

586
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,799
I forgot how many were will not even be charged

587
00:32:44,799 --> 00:32:47,079
in the end, you know, the law will not apply

588
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:47,519
to them.

589
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: I saw this too, a bunch of people being like, oh,

590
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,319
I think Donald Trump would be on stronger ground had

591
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:58,400
he not pardoned a bunch of j six rioters a

592
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,960
few months ago. It's like, well, let's get back to

593
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,400
this topic. After the people in LA have their have

594
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,400
everyone they've ever talked to rounded up and rated in

595
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,839
the middle of night, have to wait years to go

596
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,599
through the court process, are being tried in a jurisdiction

597
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,039
with one hundred percent conviction rate because people are you know,

598
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:22,240
not thinking rationally, like let's and then and then, and

599
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,799
then we can talk about whether the situation is similar.

600
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,920
These people aren't even going to be charged. They're not

601
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,480
going to be charged like maybe one or two. When

602
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,920
you look at what happened for the BLM violence, Yeah,

603
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:36,400
you had some people charged. Most of them would have

604
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,039
their charges dropped or even if they weren't, it was

605
00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:41,680
just like a slap on the hand. And they also

606
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,799
got really great legal help from Democrat community. That's one

607
00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:47,759
of the issues that the right is dealing with right now,

608
00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:49,559
which we might want to save for another show. But

609
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:54,440
the rights legal community was more or less completely a

610
00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:57,519
wall during the most terrific era of law fair this

611
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,200
country has ever seen under the Biden presidency. And now

612
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,359
they kind of want the people to still support their

613
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,279
movement when they just did nothing to help people who

614
00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:10,920
were facing really sobering, you know, attacks from the federal government.

615
00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:12,920
But yeah, these people, I would be shocked if they

616
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,400
get charged.

617
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: Well, I just want quickly say, as it pertains to

618
00:34:17,519 --> 00:34:20,880
January sixth, Democrats brought that on themselves as well in

619
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,480
a way. Obviously a lot of those people and I

620
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:25,800
don't have I'm not as sympathetic to most of them

621
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,159
who acted a certain way, but guess what, most of

622
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:32,639
them were peaceful. And yet the kind of like blanket,

623
00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:37,719
you know, overcharging, overreach of that whole situation, it made

624
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,679
people into martyrs in a way. Who didn't you know,

625
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,960
because there are a lot of people who were just

626
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,199
there or were not violent at all, et cetera, et cetera.

627
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,440
That's not the case here. The people being arrested are

628
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,840
clearly out there, clearly agitating for violence and clearly trying

629
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,840
to stop federal agents from upholding the law.

630
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:56,679
Speaker 1: This is not the point of what you just said.

631
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:59,280
But it's a pet peeve of mine. Again. I saw

632
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,960
someone ostensibly conservative on Twitter mocking the idea that certain

633
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,320
people who were caught up in the J six stuff

634
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,039
had the door to the Capitol opened for them. This

635
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,840
is not in dispute. Yes, some people were violent, some

636
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,599
people were attacking cops and breaking windows and just being

637
00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:23,760
horrific other people. Again, we have it on video, the

638
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,320
police opening the doors and just like letting people go

639
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,039
right in. There is a difference between these two groups.

640
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,000
And if you're a conservative, so called conservative, so called journalist,

641
00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:37,360
and you don't know the basic facts of that, it's embarrassing. Okay,

642
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,519
that had nothing. I just had to.

643
00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:41,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think, yeah, I think you diminish how

644
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,880
bad some of those people were by treating everyone as

645
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,079
if they were equally bad, if that makes any sense.

646
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:54,079
Speaker 1: So okay, speaking of the media, David Harsani, did you

647
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:58,599
see that Terry Moran late at night one night this

648
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:05,239
weekend need about his extreme personal hatred for Stephen Miller

649
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,280
and Donald Trump. And do you know who Terry Moran is?

650
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,519
Speaker 2: Well, A, yes, I know Terry Moran is. In fact,

651
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:13,320
he used to follow me and I used to follow

652
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,079
him and he would chime in on my stuff occasionally

653
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,519
and be mean to me, I think, but I have

654
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:23,639
to tell you something and you may disagree. Maybe this

655
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,199
is controversial. I'm not sure why he was fired and

656
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,599
not like a thousand other people who lied about stories,

657
00:36:31,639 --> 00:36:35,559
who misled the entire country. Like I'd rather have a

658
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:39,719
reporter emote sometimes, even though I think it's unprofessional, and

659
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,000
what he said I think is unprofessional, but emote about

660
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:46,159
something rather than lie about stuff. And I don't know.

661
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:48,320
Maybe Terry Moran was lying about stuff too in the past.

662
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,159
But what I mean is it's funny to me, what

663
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,440
gets you fired by ABC News, which is in my

664
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:57,639
column all the time, for lying and misleading the American people, Right,

665
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,079
So I don't know, Yeah, and whatever I mean, I

666
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:04,320
think they didn't renew his contract technically or something, but

667
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:10,079
obviously it was. He was suspended for this tweet, so.

668
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, suspended pretty quickly, yeah, and then within

669
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:18,159
days they announced that they were not renewing his contract.

670
00:37:18,199 --> 00:37:21,880
So yeah, he's not only suspended, he's been let go.

671
00:37:23,039 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: I've always tried to avoid ad hominem kind of attacks

672
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,159
on people, though occasionally I've done it myself because I

673
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:31,679
think some people deserve it. Sometimes I can't help it,

674
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,880
but I just he's supposed to be a neutral meeting.

675
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,960
He's not give being a columnist, and he's out there

676
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:42,800
sort of personally attacking someone who doesn't really know who

677
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,760
he disagrees with vehemently. But again, I just I think

678
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,239
there are worst sins in journalism and people don't get

679
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,400
fired for them. I think lying, I think the Rush

680
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,639
collusion hook stuff. I think the the misleading, for instance,

681
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:58,079
people about riots for the BLA. I mean, there's just,

682
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,039
you know, all the stuff the Kavanaughs people got away

683
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:05,800
with smearing him as a as a gang rapist, who

684
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,960
still have their jobs.

685
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: So I agree with much of what you said, mostly

686
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,800
the part where you said why him and not hundreds

687
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,880
of other people? And I'm like, yeah, hundreds of bad

688
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,679
reporters should be fired. I think the reason why he

689
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,760
got fired and why I would have actually preferred for

690
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,599
him not to be fired, is the same thing, which

691
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:29,639
is his openness about his bias that he shares with

692
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,199
one hundred percent of his fellow reporters was the problem.

693
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:37,159
So what you're supposed to do is be Trump deranged insane,

694
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,559
crazy with your hatred, but put on this like newsman's

695
00:38:41,639 --> 00:38:45,239
voice where you act like you are somehow not insane.

696
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,000
And he let the mask slip. And it embarrassed ABC

697
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,239
because they're trying to pretend that they are a news organization.

698
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:56,639
And when you're out there openly admitting that you're consumed

699
00:38:56,639 --> 00:38:58,719
with hatred for the man you're supposed to cover, like

700
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,360
he's the he's the White House guy, right, I think.

701
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's he's a big guy over there. I

702
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,280
think I don't watch too much of this stuff.

703
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: So they kind of knew that every day he continued

704
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,119
would make it harder for ABC to continue its larger operation,

705
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,960
which is hatred for Donald Trump. And if you could

706
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,480
just point at the guy and go, oh, yeah, that's

707
00:39:17,519 --> 00:39:21,199
the guy who just like, have you heard that? It's

708
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,559
I'm not gonna use the actual word that I always liked.

709
00:39:23,559 --> 00:39:27,800
But he showed his bum, he showed his behind, his backside.

710
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,039
It was embarrassing to ABC. That's why he had to go.

711
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,440
But is he any worse than any of the others.

712
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,679
I would say he's like a little worse than some

713
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,199
of the others who do a much better job of

714
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,679
hiding their hatred for Republicans. He just doesn't do a

715
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,320
good job with it at all. As you noted, Twitter

716
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,400
was not good for him. He would let things fly

717
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:49,000
and then he would try to like make up for

718
00:39:49,079 --> 00:39:51,960
it with a tweet that made him seem not so crazy.

719
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,679
But he's a bad reporter. Yeah, everyone who covered the

720
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,599
Biden White House should be fired, except for the like

721
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,199
five who would get punished for saying like, sir, are

722
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,239
you sure you're okay? And then they would like not

723
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,360
call on those people for like a year.

724
00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: I guess I feel like, and maybe it's because of

725
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,440
how I am, that losing your temper and saying something

726
00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:18,280
stupid about someone is something you should be able to

727
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:23,239
apologize for. Whereas spending years covering up that the president

728
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:27,960
is completely you know, is not capable of doing his job,

729
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,199
which is near almost treason in a way. I think

730
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,920
that that is a far bigger transgression. And all I'm

731
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,039
saying is it's weird to me who gets fired in

732
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:43,280
the media, and he should have been able to apologize

733
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,199
for this. Now. I don't know what Terry Moran does.

734
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,400
Maybe he's had one hundred bad stories. Maybe he helped

735
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,920
cover up the White House too. That's but that's what

736
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,639
he should have been fired for, not.

737
00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:57,519
Speaker 1: A bad He deserves firing. You can just be more

738
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:00,599
upset about other people who deserve firing even more not.

739
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: Being listen, I'm not upset. I think these people have

740
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,119
been terrible. All I'm saying is it's slightly confusing what

741
00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:10,320
we're supposed to be mad about, you know what I mean.

742
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it's I mean, yeah.

743
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: I know, I know he feels that way about Steven Miller.

744
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,920
They all feel that way about Steven Miller. Frankly, I'm

745
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,199
not a huge fan myself, but if you lie about him,

746
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,400
that should be a fireable offense, like losing your temper

747
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,599
on Twitter. I just don't think it's that big a

748
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:31,639
deal and saying something.

749
00:41:31,519 --> 00:41:34,559
Speaker 1: Right, No, I think I accurately committed. He got fired

750
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,079
because he embarrassed them, and he made it more difficult

751
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:40,559
for them to run their propaganda. So you're right that

752
00:41:40,679 --> 00:41:43,199
in that sense it's unfair, But it's not actually unfair

753
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,400
for Terry Moran, a really bad reporter, to lose his job.

754
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:48,639
They all should lose their job, and they all should

755
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,159
work far, far far away from any news and information

756
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,480
sharing space. I also love like I tweeted out our

757
00:41:58,519 --> 00:42:01,639
Federalist article, which turned out to be a prophecy fulfilled

758
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:05,519
thing that the headline was like, Terry Murran shouldn't be suspended,

759
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:08,239
he should be fired, And then like the next day

760
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,000
he was fired, and someone said, oh, but like, I

761
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,079
don't know, he said someone at Fox News who like

762
00:42:14,119 --> 00:42:18,639
Sean Hannity shouldn't be fired because he didn't like Biden.

763
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,159
And I'm like, I understand that not everybody is a

764
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:27,880
journalist or understands how journalism works. Sean Hannity does not

765
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,840
purport to be an independent newsman. Terry Moran did. Sean

766
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,559
Hannity purports to be someone who shares his opinion every

767
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:40,000
day on radio and TV, you know, like Terry Moran

768
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,920
claimed he was reporting the news. There is a difference

769
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,159
in expectations for the behavior of someone who claims to

770
00:42:46,159 --> 00:42:48,480
be reporting news, even if he was also an opinion

771
00:42:48,519 --> 00:42:52,239
person in disguise, and someone who is openly an opinion person.

772
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 2: The central problem here is that we pretend that people

773
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,239
don't have opinions. I mean, there should be a Terry

774
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,840
Moran on the right on ed ABC SEE, and that's

775
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,559
what should happen and have him a report from that side.

776
00:43:04,599 --> 00:43:06,119
I mean, that's the only way I think you're going

777
00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:08,960
to have any kind of you know, balance at these places.

778
00:43:09,199 --> 00:43:11,079
Speaker 1: You mentioned how he should have been allowed to just

779
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:15,119
apologize and keep going, and that reminds me about Simone

780
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,119
Biles also showing her bumb this weekend. Did you see

781
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:23,960
her just like go crazy on Riley Gains in defense

782
00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:26,840
of having men compete in women's sports.

783
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:29,519
Speaker 2: He was in Ye, I saw it. I didn't take

784
00:43:29,559 --> 00:43:32,000
a deep dive on what was going on though. So

785
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,760
she's she's a famous gymnast, and she said what.

786
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,679
Speaker 1: So Simone Biles famous gymnasts in many ways, a great gymnast,

787
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,800
but also a lot of people know about her because

788
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,880
she flaked at the last Olympics and couldn't perform because

789
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,679
she got the hebgb's or whatever, and then got really

790
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,000
defiant about it and complained about anybody who was like, hey,

791
00:43:51,079 --> 00:43:53,360
that's kind of crappy that you're at the Olympics and

792
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,760
you can't compete, you know, And she's married to a

793
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:04,760
professional NFL player, and she went so hard against Riley Gaines.

794
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,760
I want to say about Simone Biles, she's a lovely woman,

795
00:44:08,039 --> 00:44:11,320
and like most gymnasts, I think they kind of like,

796
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,360
I think the sport itself is very hard on the

797
00:44:14,559 --> 00:44:17,719
female body. And so her choice of the way she

798
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,840
went after Riley Gaines was really weird because Riley Gaines

799
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,199
was a swimmer and a beautiful lady. And Simone Bile

800
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,559
said about Riley Gaines's efforts to protect women's sports that

801
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:34,320
Riley Gaines should pick on someone her own size, and ironically,

802
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,599
in her case, that means a male. I'm like, I

803
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:41,159
don't think Simone Biles should be talking about masculine body

804
00:44:41,159 --> 00:44:44,039
types because like the gymnast body type sometimes looks like

805
00:44:44,079 --> 00:44:46,320
twelve year old boy, you know, more than anything else. So,

806
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,320
like it just was a weird way to go, Like

807
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,280
you shouldn't.

808
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,679
Speaker 2: Go after very caddy, very caddy.

809
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you shouldn't go after anyone's like physical appearance anyway,

810
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,119
but you like really shouldn't when you're exposed. And then

811
00:44:59,159 --> 00:45:02,840
she doubled down and she called Riley Gaines a bully

812
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,480
for trying to protect women's sports and trying to protect

813
00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:07,519
girls from having to compete against boys. I think she

814
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:12,079
mocked her for not placing first in a sports competition

815
00:45:12,519 --> 00:45:14,599
and thereby saying she had no right to talk about it.

816
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:16,800
I mean, it was just crazy. And of course someone

817
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:22,280
Biles makes a ton of money in endorsements, including from Athleta,

818
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,760
and so I'm sure ours was not the only publication

819
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,360
that was ringing up Athleta and other sponsors to ask

820
00:45:28,639 --> 00:45:32,519
if they supported things. And so she had a publicist.

821
00:45:32,599 --> 00:45:34,440
It was clearly not her, but she had a publicist,

822
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:37,239
right like a quasi apology where she the only thing

823
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,840
she apologized for was quote unquote like getting personal with

824
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,440
Riley Gaines. And then she had like a gobbledygook word

825
00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:46,679
salad where she tried her best to walk back her

826
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,480
complete face plant on the issue of whether girls should

827
00:45:49,519 --> 00:45:50,599
have to compete against boys.

828
00:45:51,199 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: I saw someone tweet underneath that word salad, looks like

829
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,679
you've won a gold medal and mental gymnastics as well

830
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,079
or something. I saw that that was one of these

831
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,840
definitely pr you know, just a lot of words. Puffery

832
00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:10,480
didn't really say anything. Someone dug up an old tweet

833
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:14,119
of hers where she kind of mocks she says we

834
00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:17,000
shouldn't have to compete, or something about competing against men

835
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,559
or machines.

836
00:46:18,159 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: Try to do a routine that a male gymnast did

837
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,159
and she just like couldn't even come close to it,

838
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,920
And then she commented, good thing men don't have to compete,

839
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,599
or that we don't have to compete against men because

840
00:46:28,599 --> 00:46:30,719
I would lose, which is true. Like I don't feel

841
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,760
bad about being a woman this way. Like women have

842
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,519
many strengths and virtues that men don't have on average,

843
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:37,960
you know, I mean, like we do things like we

844
00:46:38,039 --> 00:46:40,639
give birth to children, which is really amazing and requires

845
00:46:40,679 --> 00:46:44,199
a lot of strength, but we are physically weaker. We're

846
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,639
the weaker sex men just by on average, by virtue

847
00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:51,000
of like how they're made and how they're distinct from

848
00:46:51,039 --> 00:47:03,320
women are stronger, faster, like the facts. Okay, Also, David Harsani,

849
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,920
I know that you love the climate activist Greta Tunberg

850
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,679
or Tunenberg. Did you see what she was up to

851
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:13,320
this week?

852
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:17,559
Speaker 2: I did. I quickly want to say, what's interesting about

853
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:21,079
her becoming part of the free Palestine move? And I

854
00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:23,960
looked it up. She was also marched for Black Lives Matters,

855
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,599
and she was obviously famous for dropping out of high school,

856
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:33,000
and well she was Times Person of the Year, right, yeah,

857
00:47:33,039 --> 00:47:37,199
in twenty nineteen. You know why quote raising awareness for

858
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,960
climate change. Before twenty nineteen, no one ever heard of

859
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,199
climate change until Grete Thumberg came around. But anyway, it's

860
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,639
all connected, the funding for all of it's connected, the

861
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:50,000
sort of ideological grounding for it all is all connected

862
00:47:50,519 --> 00:47:53,480
at all. Let's not forget Antifa as well. I saw

863
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,639
these people yelling at cops in La a bunch of

864
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,400
people with in masks yelling about imperial is, and some

865
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,840
copy yells back, you don't know even know what that means.

866
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,559
But they had a big you know, they had a

867
00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:08,039
Mexican flag, which, by the way, is a mistake if

868
00:48:08,079 --> 00:48:10,599
you're you know, you're telling me you want to be here,

869
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,679
but yet you have a Mexican flag, it's anyway. But

870
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,079
they also had a Free Palestine Palestinian flag. So it's

871
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:21,480
now like all these all these threads, all these sort

872
00:48:21,519 --> 00:48:26,599
of extremist threads, become one. Anyway. Greta Thunberg was on

873
00:48:26,679 --> 00:48:29,480
a selfie yacht as it's called, trying to break a

874
00:48:29,559 --> 00:48:33,559
naval blockade of Gaza. The Israelis picked her up. She

875
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:37,039
said she had been kidnapped by the Israelis. They sent

876
00:48:37,039 --> 00:48:40,519
her home on a plane, gave her food all of that.

877
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,840
She when she was younger, and I wrote about this

878
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,000
when I was at the Federalist years ago. She could

879
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,719
lecture us about everything. She's a high school dropout. Now listen,

880
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,000
I'm not say every high school dropout is an intelligent

881
00:48:56,199 --> 00:49:01,079
I'm saying she's not intelligent. She was like us about everything,

882
00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:02,800
and you weren't allowed to say anything because she was

883
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,920
just a child with Asperger right syndrome. Right. And now

884
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,599
she's twenty two year old woman. So I think it's

885
00:49:09,639 --> 00:49:11,840
fair for us all to point out that she's an

886
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:16,519
extraordinary imbecile. She knows nothing. You watch these interviews with her.

887
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:20,639
She can barely talk about anything. No one asks her

888
00:49:21,679 --> 00:49:24,239
a serious question about any of the issues she champions

889
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,320
because she couldn't answer them. And here's what really made

890
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,119
me sort of angry. So they pick her up and

891
00:49:30,159 --> 00:49:32,920
they her and a bunch of other idiots. They say,

892
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:38,960
we have these videos of what happened in twenty twenty three,

893
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,800
all the murders. She says, the Israelis tried to make

894
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,840
me watch all kinds of propaganda videos, but I didn't watch.

895
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,280
This is nothing compared to what's happening in Gaza. Those

896
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:54,199
videos are go pro videos filmed by the Palestinian terrorists

897
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,760
who came in to kill women, children, the elderly, and men.

898
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,400
And it's one thing to be an idiot about climate

899
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,960
change and say what you do, But when you become

900
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,920
a useful idiot for terrorists, I think we have every

901
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,760
right to go add hominem on you and ask why

902
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,280
has the media lifted up someone who has nothing interesting

903
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,280
to say, nothing compelling to say.

904
00:50:21,559 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: Okay, just stardom. Yeah, I think that's actually a real issue.

905
00:50:26,519 --> 00:50:29,559
It's like that woman that the New York Times and

906
00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:33,000
the Washington Post were like fighting over who could employ

907
00:50:33,079 --> 00:50:38,840
her the most, and she's legit insane, Taylor Lorenz Lorenz.

908
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,639
And people would always get mad at Taylor Lorenz for

909
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,639
being crazy. And I'm like, well, that is true that

910
00:50:44,679 --> 00:50:47,719
she's very bad. She's very you know, she does evil things.

911
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,800
That's true. Why are the supposed adults of the New

912
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,559
York Times in Washington Post employing her? You know, at

913
00:50:55,559 --> 00:50:59,639
some point there are more responsible people who shouldn't be

914
00:50:59,679 --> 00:51:03,639
playing around with this. Greta Tunberg was manipulated by her parents.

915
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,400
By her own admission and their own admission, she is

916
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,760
on the autism spectrum in a way that you can

917
00:51:12,519 --> 00:51:16,920
see that she has trouble processing information. As Trump pointed out,

918
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,760
she has angry issues. I think her parents manipulating and

919
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,119
using her to be a climate change activist was really wrong.

920
00:51:25,039 --> 00:51:27,320
But also they couldn't have done it without the help

921
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,440
of the corporate media. They're the ones who really amplified

922
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,719
her and made her into something. And as you note,

923
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,800
she doesn't know anything about anything. She knows how to

924
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,039
be angry. Remember when she yelled in an angry way,

925
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:40,480
but like she doesn't know anything.

926
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,559
Speaker 2: Remember that emotional outburst she had, completely frivolous. You know,

927
00:51:44,599 --> 00:51:47,840
you have stolen my dreams. She didn't say anything. She

928
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,199
didn't say anything. Now here's the thing. I love debating

929
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,320
and people, you know whatever, you know, we do what

930
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,960
we do. But you know, there's research that goes into it.

931
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,800
I read a lot of things. I try to know things.

932
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,519
I try to, you know, under stand what's going on.

933
00:52:01,639 --> 00:52:03,400
She doesn't do any of that, So why should we

934
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,559
even bother trying to was trying to debunk her today

935
00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:08,800
in a column like why am I even bothering? Like

936
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,639
she doesn't know what she's talking about. She's just sort

937
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:14,639
of propped up by media She's in every single outlet

938
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,960
you know, and I just don't see what the reason

939
00:52:18,039 --> 00:52:20,639
is she should be treated like what she is an idiot.

940
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: On the October seven footage, I have had multiple opportunities,

941
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,199
as you might say, to watch that, and I have

942
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,719
declined because I can't handle stuff like that. That day

943
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:38,159
on Twitter when that happened, I remember everything, and it

944
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,920
was very hard, like I could I couldn't believe, like

945
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,199
it was so horrible to see what Hamas was tweeting

946
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,679
out like they're proudly tweeting out. It was horrible, like

947
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:53,400
it gives me, Oh, it's just horrible. I saw more

948
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,880
than I wanted to on the day of the attack,

949
00:52:56,119 --> 00:52:58,599
and I do not think I will ever be able

950
00:52:58,639 --> 00:53:01,480
to watch a video like So I'm not opposed to

951
00:53:01,519 --> 00:53:06,840
her not watching that. What I'm opposed is, I'm opposed

952
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,000
to her not wanting to be informed about the atrocities

953
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,440
committed by Hamas. While defending Hamas, she has.

954
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 2: Never once, incidentally, I mean, you can advocate for gosins

955
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,719
and say all you want, but she has never once,

956
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,199
at least according to AI, because I did all the

957
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,599
research I could, and then I asked AI ever advocated

958
00:53:27,599 --> 00:53:32,239
for the release of the people, the women, the civilians

959
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,199
who are being held in some basement and being tortured

960
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,000
right now in Rafa are somewhere on Outnumbered.

961
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: Yesterday, Kaylie mcnaney said that one of the people on

962
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,440
the yacht she was on that got intercepted by Israel

963
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:50,039
denies denies that the Babis family was abducted, that the

964
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,800
kids were abducted, like, just denies that it happened. It's

965
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,679
like an October seven denier.

966
00:53:55,639 --> 00:53:58,519
Speaker 2: You know, you know, funded this thing, some like hamas

967
00:53:58,559 --> 00:54:02,079
operative person. So one of the people on the boats

968
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:05,519
this Okay, I'm going to stop calling people stupid right now,

969
00:54:05,559 --> 00:54:07,840
but just know that everyone I'm talking about here I

970
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,119
think very lowly low of them. He's an actor from

971
00:54:11,199 --> 00:54:13,239
Game of Thrones. He was the Onion King. I don't

972
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:14,840
know if you know that guy is an Irish actor.

973
00:54:15,079 --> 00:54:17,519
Speaker 1: I do not watch violent porns, right.

974
00:54:18,159 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: You forgot to say incestuous violent porn. And you know,

975
00:54:23,079 --> 00:54:25,159
so just a bunch of the people who you know.

976
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,920
By the way, sixty two trucks with aid went into

977
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,760
gozz of the day she was lifted off. That flotilla

978
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,679
ship went into Gaza from Israel with food. They had

979
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,159
almost nothing on those ships. It's just a you know,

980
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,159
this is exactly what she wanted to happen, and it did. Anyway,

981
00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:44,039
I wish you're the worst.

982
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's talk about all the exciting cultural things

983
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,320
we've done since the last week. I'm worried that you

984
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,400
did nothing other than break your wrist.

985
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: I did some stuff. You want me to go first,

986
00:55:00,639 --> 00:55:06,679
I do. I watched a documentary on led Zeppelin called

987
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,159
Becoming led Zeppelin, which was a fan I'm not a

988
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,960
huge fan of led Zep. I'm not not a fan.

989
00:55:13,079 --> 00:55:14,679
It's just I grew up hearing it all the time,

990
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,320
so I kind of got I think I just got

991
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,519
sick of it. But it is really really well done,

992
00:55:19,559 --> 00:55:24,400
and it's interesting for even if you're not a fan

993
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,400
of led Zeppelin, because it gives this overview of the

994
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,960
times and it's just really well done. I don't know,

995
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:36,000
I just I recommend it. It's on Netflix. And the

996
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:40,719
other thing I watch is a like a game show

997
00:55:41,519 --> 00:55:46,400
reality show. It's called Million Dollar Secret. It's on Netflix

998
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,039
as well, So I guess the premise would be that

999
00:55:50,119 --> 00:55:52,199
you're in a house with a bunch of people. I

1000
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,880
forgot how many. Let's say ten, and every day one

1001
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,559
person is given a million dollars, and that person has

1002
00:56:00,599 --> 00:56:03,559
given tasks that they have to perform to get to

1003
00:56:03,599 --> 00:56:06,519
do things so on, and they have to trick everyone

1004
00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:10,199
else in the house. And if you carry the million

1005
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,519
dollars to the very end, you win. But if the

1006
00:56:12,599 --> 00:56:15,800
others vote every episode, if they vote and figure it

1007
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,519
out that it's you, then you're out. And even if

1008
00:56:18,519 --> 00:56:20,360
they vote and it's not you, you're still out. But

1009
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,039
the person stall is a million and they go to

1010
00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:24,480
the next episode. I thought i'd hate it, and I

1011
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:25,960
actually quite.

1012
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: Uh where is it like Netflix?

1013
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 2: Netflix? Yeah, that's it for me. I was on the mend.

1014
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I've been really busy, so I haven't done

1015
00:56:38,599 --> 00:56:44,960
a ton of interesting things. But I did visit the

1016
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,239
battle site at Fredericksburg. Have you been there?

1017
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,079
Speaker 2: I think I have been there, yeah.

1018
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: A while back, and I found it really interesting. I

1019
00:56:54,039 --> 00:56:56,599
think it was like one of the first examples of

1020
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:59,559
that kind of urban warfare because they ended up like

1021
00:56:59,639 --> 00:57:02,840
just fight in the streets of Fredericksburg. But it's a

1022
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,440
pretty easy to do site where you can get a

1023
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,199
feel for what it was like and where Lee was

1024
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,199
and it was a poorly thought out attack by the

1025
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,119
Union forces, and it was done or it seems like

1026
00:57:19,159 --> 00:57:21,800
it was poorland not moralely. They probably should have waited

1027
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,159
to do it, but they felt under pressure from Lincoln

1028
00:57:24,199 --> 00:57:27,400
for a variety of reasons, which helped the Confederate Forces

1029
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,840
vanquish them. But it just seemed like horrific. So I

1030
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,679
like that. And then I had family in town, so

1031
00:57:34,719 --> 00:57:37,199
I was doing a couple of things this weekend with them,

1032
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,320
and I also visited the National Air and Space Museum's

1033
00:57:41,559 --> 00:57:43,280
Oudvar Hazy Annex.

1034
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,639
Speaker 2: Where is that in Dulles over? There?

1035
00:57:45,719 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: Is it Dullest?

1036
00:57:46,719 --> 00:57:48,039
Speaker 2: I've been there. That's pretty cool.

1037
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,599
Speaker 1: I've been there, and I have to say I love it,

1038
00:57:51,639 --> 00:57:56,039
like I'd go back. They have a thunderbird, they have

1039
00:57:56,079 --> 00:58:00,119
a space shuttle. Yeah, it's great, the literal Enola Gay.

1040
00:58:00,559 --> 00:58:05,159
They have a concord. It's just like so fun to

1041
00:58:05,199 --> 00:58:07,840
look at. So that was really fun. And then I

1042
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,199
am also like trying to work on my summer plans,

1043
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:15,800
and so I am excited to be going to my

1044
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,519
favorite conference that I go to most years, which is

1045
00:58:19,639 --> 00:58:24,960
the Issues Etc. Making the Case Conference, And it's this

1046
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:30,239
wonderful two day event for Christian Laity, and Mark and

1047
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:34,119
I will be speaking there. It's July eighteenth, and it's

1048
00:58:34,159 --> 00:58:40,119
Friday July eighteenth Saturday, July nineteenth. It's at Concordia University, Chicago,

1049
00:58:41,079 --> 00:58:46,480
and we'll be speaking Scott Jennings, the awesome CNN political commentator.

1050
00:58:47,239 --> 00:58:50,760
We'll be speaking doctor Carl Truman, who's the author of

1051
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,639
The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. And so

1052
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,159
I know some people who listen to this show. I

1053
00:58:58,199 --> 00:59:01,079
know they go because last year I learned that they

1054
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,320
listen to our show. But other people might be interested

1055
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,360
in it as well. So if you are interested, I

1056
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,039
could not recommend this conference more highly. It's my absolute

1057
00:59:10,119 --> 00:59:13,199
favorite conference for Christian laity. And actually I just want

1058
00:59:13,199 --> 00:59:16,679
to say too, a lot of conferences for Christians, I

1059
00:59:16,679 --> 00:59:20,400
think sometimes they're geared toward like professional church workers or pastors.

1060
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,880
But the issues that face Christian laity are different than

1061
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,360
what face like an actual you know, congregation or a pastor,

1062
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,039
which they can kind of be protected by some of

1063
00:59:30,039 --> 00:59:34,400
the laws in the way that normal not that other

1064
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,559
people are abnormal Christians, but that you know, just like

1065
00:59:36,599 --> 00:59:39,360
your average Christian lay person is. And so this is

1066
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,400
like really geared toward us and I think that's why

1067
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,760
I like it so much. And I also like the

1068
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,119
people who go. So if you're interested in learning more

1069
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:52,840
or registering, go to Issues etc. Dot org and also

1070
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,679
let me know if you're going, so I can keep

1071
00:59:54,679 --> 00:59:56,920
an eye out for you. But if you haven't gone,

1072
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,559
definitely go. If I've seen you there before, I hope

1073
00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:02,679
you're going back and we'll be doing that. Yeah in

1074
01:00:02,719 --> 01:00:03,199
mid July.

1075
01:00:04,719 --> 01:00:09,119
Speaker 2: Sounds exciting, is it? Like you but I'm not Christian Laity?

1076
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, what were you? What were you asking though?

1077
01:00:12,519 --> 01:00:15,559
Speaker 2: Is it for all all denominations and everything? Where is it? Yeah?

1078
01:00:16,159 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Anyone can go, and like last year, Archbishop Quarterly Oone

1079
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:25,599
spoke and it is it's like mostly Lutheran, but there

1080
01:00:25,639 --> 01:00:30,280
are definitely other people reformed or otherwise. So and if

1081
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,039
and anyone you probably like, if you're a Christian person,

1082
01:00:33,039 --> 01:00:35,119
you've probably heard of Issues et cetera, which is a

1083
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:39,199
great podcast. So it's just more it's like that.

1084
01:00:39,679 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 2: So sounds good. Okay, well you're running the show, Molly.

1085
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot So hopefully I'll actually watch some

1086
01:00:47,719 --> 01:00:50,840
TV or otherwise or do something I do. I am

1087
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:55,119
thinking I might go to the military parade this weekend

1088
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,000
to celebrate the Army's two hundred and fiftieth birthday in DC.

1089
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:03,320
Because I'm a sucker for fireworks and other stuff, so

1090
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,239
I might might go to that, and if so, I'll

1091
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,000
report back next week. But yes, so don't forget to

1092
01:01:09,039 --> 01:01:13,920
email us at radio at the Federalist dot com. And

1093
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,639
we love to get that email. David in particular loves

1094
01:01:17,639 --> 01:01:18,679
getting your email and.

1095
01:01:19,159 --> 01:01:21,039
Speaker 2: True but let me just say this a lot of

1096
01:01:21,159 --> 01:01:25,199
people have sent me very good TV recommendations lately, so

1097
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:28,480
keep those coming, any kind of cool British show. I

1098
01:01:28,519 --> 01:01:30,760
love that stuff. Thank you great.

1099
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,559
Speaker 1: Well until next week, the lovers of freedom and anxious.

1100
01:01:34,199 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 2: Bit of prod, I want you. I want to
