It's being and the 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,840 reason they did it is because of the election of 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080 November fifth, and because of a thing called Tariff's. 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: As I said, the most. 72 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: Beautiful word in the dictionary after love, God, relationship. 73 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: The press actually hit me. 74 00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:55,639 Speaker 2: I said, tariff is the most beautiful word in the dictionary. 75 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: What about family?

I put them there. 95 00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: If you remember Nord Stream To that was that's the 96 00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:02,879 big pipeline that goes through Europe. 97 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,079 Speaker 3: I stopped it. That's Russia's pipeline. 98 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: The largest pipeline I think in the world goes to Germany. 99 00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,279 And I stopped it. And when Biden came in, he 100 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040 improved it. And then they say, oh, I'm friendly with Russia. 101 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 5: Now no. 102 00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:20,879 Speaker 3: Putin said, you know if if you and my friend, 103 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:22,519 I hate to see you when you're my enemy. 104 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: I stopped the biggest, the biggest economic job they ever had. 105 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,759 Speaker 3: I stopped at cold right, it was dead, you know 106 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,279 that right. And Biden came in and he immediately approved it. 107 00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:33,399 What was that all about? 108 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: And it's a pipeline that takes care of a lot 109 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,240 of the needs. Now you know it's it was a 110 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:45,360 very controversial thing, but I stopped it and Biden approved it. 111 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:57,079 Speaker 5: Question potentially pharmaceuticals, the Mike Conductor tariffs and potentially. 112 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: Pharmaceuticals we're going to do we we have we don't 113 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,920 make our own drugs, our own pharmaceutic cause we don't 114 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,120 make our own drugs anymore. The drug companies are in 115 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,439 Ireland and they're in lots of other places China, and 116 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,040 all I have to do is impose a tariff. The 117 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,199 more the faster they move in, the higher the tariff 118 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,040 is very ser it's inversely proportional. 119 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: The higher the tariff, the faster they come. 120 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,519 Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, we're gonna be doing that. That's gonna 121 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,319 be like we have one cars. We have, as you know, 122 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:31,360 twenty five percent tariff on cars. We have a twenty 123 00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:35,800 five percent tariff and steel and aluminum and that's. 124 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,959 Speaker 3: What that category fits right now. Do you have a 125 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,720 percentage of mind you have a timeline? 126 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,399 Speaker 2: I have a timeline, yeah, not too just in future. 127 00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:44,360 And we're doing it because we want to make our 128 00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,720 own drugs. We're doing it because we want to make 129 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:50,800 our own steel and aluminum, lumber, other things. 130 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,519 Speaker 3: And uh, they're all coming in. 131 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: We have record numbers seven trillion dollars since I announced 132 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:02,240 back a month and a half of do since I 133 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:06,240 came basically since I came in, we have over seven trillion. 134 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: Dollars being invested in the country. 135 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: We didn't have one trillion, we didn't have a half 136 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:12,120 a trillion dollars. 137 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: With some of these guys. They didn't know what the 138 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,319 hell they were doing. 139 00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:17,319 Speaker 2: So we have the largest investment that we've ever heard 140 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:21,680 of in early two months in and that'll continue at 141 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:23,839 levels that you've never seen before. And that's what's going 142 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,240 to happen. And even the stock market's up today, it's wells. 143 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,319 You know, a lot of people didn't say it the 144 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,079 way it was. We had the largest gain in the 145 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:39,000 stock market in history on every single category last week. 146 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:41,759 It was a nice, nice game because we get a 147 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,560 little hit because people didn't understand. 148 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: Look, ause you were pause the tariffs, our economic okay, 149 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,600 car right, all right, all right, So that's okay. So 150 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,040 the president of El Salvador is there and Bukayley I 151 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,519 think is his name, and I think the headline out 152 00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,959 of this is that he is not going to be 153 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:12,480 returning Kilmar Abrago Garcia back to America. He said, quote 154 00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:16,120 the question is preposterous. I don't have the power to 155 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:19,000 return him to the United States. He's an l salvadorn 156 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,399 So no, he's not. He's not sending them back. So 157 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,279 that'll be one of the headlines. Also, Donald Trump said 158 00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:32,840 he took his cognitive exam and he got the highest mark, 159 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:38,080 and the one of the doctors said, I've never seen 160 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,600 anybody get that kind of highest mark, never before in 161 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:49,399 the history. I've been administering this cognitive test for forty 162 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,440 years and nobody has ever been as cognitive. Okay, all right, 163 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,759 So spring is here a time of renewal and celebrations. 164 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,519 He got graduations, weddings and of ver and especial days 165 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,919 for mom and dad.

Alrighty, So I gotta say, like, 200 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:13,720 what a colossal failure of the Pennsylvania State Police. It 201 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,159 like so many examples we hear about and read about. 202 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:25,399 It's like it's security theater. It seems like this some guy. 203 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:30,799 And I don't want to give the guys, well, I 204 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,279 guess I can't. Well, no, I don't see. I don't 205 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,440 like rewarding these miscreants with the publicity for their name. 206 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,399 So there's a thirty eight year old guy who is 207 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,480 now in custody over suspected arson at the Pennsylvania Governor's residence. 208 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,080 Authorities were investigating crimes including terrorism and attempted homicide, which 209 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,519 I think they actually ended up charging him with. Yeah, 210 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:03,720 included So the Dauphin Dauphin County DA Francis Chardo that's 211 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,000 his name, also said during a press conference that charges 212 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,759 against this guy will include attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, 213 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:18,080 and aggravated assault against an enumerated person. Pennsylvania State Police 214 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:21,840 Colonel Christopher Paris said during a press conference that the 215 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:29,039 thirty eight year old suspect had been arrested. Yeah, over 216 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,120 the two am fire. This was two am yesterday morning. 217 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,519 This is from the Hill dot com. The mother apparently 218 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:43,200 said that this guy was mentally ill and had stopped 219 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:51,039 his meds. The guy's from Harrisburg, and he turned himself 220 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,720 into state police yesterday afternoon. So he turned himself in. 221 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:01,600 They didn't track him down, and he admitted to authorities 222 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,720 that he harbored a hatred towards the Governor, Josh Shapiro. 223 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:12,799 He evaded police while on the property, breaking a window 224 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,879 and throwing a Heineken bottle filled with gasoline into the 225 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:23,000 piano room on a wing of the governor's mansion in Harrisburg. 226 00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:27,519 He then went to the attached dining room. He broke 227 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,399 a window with his little hammer. He had a little 228 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,879 like a little sledgehammer kind of tool, and he broke 229 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,799 the window. He then climbs into the dining room and 230 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,720 he lights two more homemade Molotov cocktails and then he 231 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:49,559 takes off. It is unclear, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, 232 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,519 how state police, who have a twenty four to seven 233 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,200 detail assigned to Shapiro, as well as additional security at 234 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,480 the governor's residence, how did they let this guy get 235 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,360 on the property right scale of fence, break in, throw 236 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,519 a Molotov cocktail through one window, break and enter another window, 237 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:14,600 set off more Molotov cocktails, and then flee on foot 238 00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:23,200 and get away. The suspects X called police and said 239 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,759 that he had confessed to her and wanted her to 240 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,639 call police to turn him in. Imagine how crazy that 241 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:40,480 sentence would be with leftist pronouns in there. Right, So 242 00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:43,759 he calls her, she calls the cops, says he wants 243 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:47,240 to turn himself in. He then goes to State Police 244 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:52,919 headquarters in Harrisburg yesterday afternoon and turns himself in. And 245 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,080 then he tells the investigators that he hated the governor 246 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,679 and that if he found him at the property that 247 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,279 he would have quote beaten with a hammer that he 248 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,840 had brought with him so he could break into the 249 00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:09,120 residence and I'm assuming beat the governor. He also told 250 00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:12,600 police that he walked an hour to the residence early 251 00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:15,879 Sunday before scaling a fence on the property, breaking in 252 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,120 to start the fires, and fleeing on foot. He started 253 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,879 the fires on the first night of Passover. The Shapiro 254 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,200 family was there. They had some guests and extended family 255 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:30,919 following the start of the Jewish holiday. He had hosted 256 00:15:30,919 --> 00:15:35,519 a Passover Satyr in the same room that the suspect 257 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:38,440 admitted to burning down the dining room right with the 258 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:45,480 homemade incendiary devices. At a news conference yesterday, Shapiro said, 259 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,600 this kind of violence is becoming far too common in 260 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,559 our society. We have to be better than this, and 261 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,159 we have and we have a responsibility to all be better. 262 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,519 And he is exactly right. Every time one of these 263 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,519 incidents occurs, and they are happening with greater frequency. I 264 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,240 know I can tell because I cover them more often 265 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,120 now than I ever did in the past. It is 266 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:17,519 becoming more prevalent now. The suspect here by oh hang 267 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,960 On Shapiro. The governor thanked President Trump and federal authorities 268 00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:25,960 for supporting the state police and the investigation. Shapiro told 269 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:29,159 reporters that he spoke to the FBI director Cash Pattel, 270 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,159 who was quote extremely kind and courteous and thoughtful in 271 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,120 his conversation with me. The suspect has faced this is 272 00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:38,399 going to come as a shock. I know he has 273 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,919 a criminal record. 274 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: I know. 275 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,399 Speaker 1: He has faced criminal charges on several occasions over the 276 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,960 last ten years, including for assault, forgery, and some traffic 277 00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:53,919 related offenses. Two years ago, he was charged with three 278 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,279 counts of simple assault in a case that is ongoing 279 00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:05,279 in is it Dauphin County Dolphin thank you resident to Pennsylvanian, well, 280 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:11,079 former resident Pennsylvania anyway, that's nick He In twenty sixteen, 281 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,359 he pleaded guilty to one felony count of forgery and 282 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,559 was sentenced to eighteen months of probation. I don't know 283 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:26,079 what the guy's motive is. He seems insane. I've seen 284 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,960 a picture. I've seen a couple of pictures of the guy, 285 00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:35,079 and honestly, he looks kind of Antifa. He does, and 286 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:38,799 he like posted some Andy No had a series of 287 00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:41,279 pictures and from the guy's social media, and one of 288 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:44,160 the pictures the suspect had posted on his social media 289 00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:46,680 was like a it was a you know, like one 290 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,720 of those iron on patches or something or so on patch, 291 00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:55,160 you know, and the patch is a Molotov cocktail and it, 292 00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:59,599 you know, has some you know, little quip on there. 293 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,720 Let's get ready to party or something like that. So 294 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,839 he just and his whole look, he's got the mask going, 295 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,680 you know, with the skulls and crossbones on and he's 296 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,880 got like the uh he's got the hoodie up. He 297 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,240 just he he comes across kind of antifa. I'm sorry, 298 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,799 but he does. I but that, But I don't know 299 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,559 if he is or isn't. It's obvious that the guy 300 00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:24,960 is insane. You don't do that and then call your 301 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,599 X and say I want to turn myself in and 302 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,400 then go turn yourself in like that does none of that. 303 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,720 That's not a plan, right, This is not some sort 304 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,000 of a well thought out plan. And if the reports 305 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,640 are true, and when his mother has said that he 306 00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:41,799 is he has mental illness and he went off his meds, 307 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:46,319 he stopped taking him and okay, so then that that 308 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:52,720 would be some kind of explanation. But this is happening more. 309 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:55,319 And maybe it's happening more because we have more people 310 00:18:55,599 --> 00:19:00,319 suffering from mental illness like this, and we all also 311 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,880 have people that tend to give a wink and a 312 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,920 nod to this sort of behavior. I've talked about this 313 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,279 repeatedly because the left has a problem with this stuff. 314 00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:18,039 I'm not saying only the left, as Vince Cochley would say, right, 315 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,559 do not hear what I'm not saying. I'm not saying 316 00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:25,079 it's only on the left. I am saying the left 317 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,759 has a problem with this, and they seem incapable of 318 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:37,359 calling it out on their own side. Case in point, 319 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,880 Taylor Lawrence, Lorenz Lawrence, this is the she's I think 320 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,039 she's like seventy years old or something. I'm just kidding that. 321 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,880 People make jokes about it. But she she she's one 322 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,559 of these tech writers. She worked for the New York Times, 323 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,079 she went to work for the Washington Post. She's a 324 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,960 train wreck of a person, and she just basically hangs 325 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,200 out in chat rooms and busts people for saying things 326 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,839 that are problematic. She I mean, she hit her zenith 327 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,200 in the you know, the those heady days of high 328 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,359 cancel culture, you know, and she was just outing people 329 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,079 left and right. Oh they said something on a on 330 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,920 a telegram chat ooh and then you know, get some 331 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,000 sixteen year old girls scholarship canceled. That's the kind of 332 00:20:31,839 --> 00:20:35,880 quote unquote reporting she was doing. And then, of course, 333 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,440 like you know, everybody realizes the Holy cow, she's really 334 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,519 toxic and all of this, well, not everybody. Mainstream media 335 00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:45,000 still loves her and they bring her on this despite 336 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:52,359 the fact that she seems to celebrate the murder of 337 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:58,559 people for political reasons. I'm not saying you should do 338 00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:02,000 the violence, ba, but that's what she does. That's what 339 00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:08,599 she does, and she did it again on CNN. But 340 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,240 as Donald Trump would say, nobody watches it, so nobody cares. 341 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:13,400 All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 342 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 343 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,559 and I know you do too.

Alrighty, 362 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,480 So Taylor Lorenz, this is the thing, this is what 363 00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:25,440 I'm talking about. The left has a problem with political 364 00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:32,480 violence and calling it out and just condemning it and 365 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,960 leaving that as the only sentence. Just put a period, no, 366 00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:40,720 you shouldn't ever murder people because of political differences. Period. 367 00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:43,519 Then you don't have to add anything to the end 368 00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:48,519 of that sentence. You just stop right there. So Taylor 369 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,119 Lorenz is on some show on CNN. I'm not kidding. 370 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:59,640 It's called miss Infoonation Misinfhonation, and it's hosted by some 371 00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:05,440 Irish dude and it's about misinformation I guess in America 372 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,599 or something on CNN. Okay, So here is Taylor Lorenz 373 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,119 talking to the Irish guy who's the host. His name 374 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,359 is Donnie or Donnie O'Sullivan. And here's what she said. 375 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 4: Hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching 376 00:23:24,039 --> 00:23:27,720 their pearls about someone standing a murderer when this is 377 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:30,119 this is the United States of America, as if we 378 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,079 don't lionize criminals, as if we don't have you know, 379 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,000 we don't stan murderers of all sorts, and we give 380 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,559 them Netflix shows. There's a huge disconnect between the narratives 381 00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:44,240 and angles the sort of mainstream media pushes and what 382 00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:45,680 the American public feels. 383 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,279 Speaker 1: Hang on a second, did a did a murderer get 384 00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:55,599 a Netflix show? I'm trying to think through. I don't. 385 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:58,720 I'm not aware of a murderer getting a Netflix program. 386 00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:03,920 Did that happen? Well, she is on a program called Misinfonation, 387 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,240 so I guess this is on brand for the program. 388 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,000 But you'll recall Taylor Lawrence is talking about it is 389 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:16,559 sort of a rehash of the comments that she made 390 00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:21,440 when the United Healthcare CEO was murdered in cold blood, 391 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:25,720 shot in the back on a sidewalk in New York 392 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:33,519 City by a deranged Luigi and he became just like 393 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:39,400 the lefties did with the Boston Marathon barmber. Right, they 394 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,359 turned this guy into a sex symbol and they're like, yeah, 395 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,160 they're just like thirsting over the guy. It's gross. So 396 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,960 she's talking about like that dynamic, that story, and you. 397 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: See that in moments like this, and I can tell 398 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:57,160 you I saw the biggest audience growth that I've ever seen, 399 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:02,039 because people were like, oh, somebody, some journalists is actually 400 00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:04,160 speaking to the anger that we feel. 401 00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: The women who got her outside course in New York. 402 00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 4: So you're going to see women especially that feel like, 403 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,400 oh my god, right, like here's this man who who's revolutionary, 404 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,799 who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart. He's a 405 00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:23,559 person that seems this like this morally good man, which 406 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,599 is hard to find. 407 00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:35,039 Speaker 1: So Luigi Mangioni is a morally good man because he 408 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,400 murdered somebody shot him in the back. Guy's a coward. 409 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,079 Guy is a deranged coward. I think I read too 410 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,759 that like supposedly this was about like his mom needed 411 00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:51,200 all these treatments or something, and she couldn't get the treatments, 412 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,240 and so like there was some sort of you know, 413 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,759 justification for this. And I remember seeing a story that 414 00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:00,799 she didn't even have United Healthcare as an insure, so 415 00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:05,440 there wasn't even that connection. He's just crazy. Oh but 416 00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:08,519 look he's got muscles and the six pack abs and 417 00:26:08,839 --> 00:26:14,599 uh and he's cute, he's a revolutionary. Oh, like, that's 418 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,960 what we're hearing from her, and they're I mean, they're 419 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:22,960 they're giddy about this. And then Donye or Donnie whatever 420 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,640 the guy's name is. This was quite an interesting tell 421 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,839 for me. Yeah, I just realized women will literally date 422 00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:33,359 an assassin before they swipe right on me. That's that's 423 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,200 where we are. I'm sure you wouldn't like to be 424 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,200 compared to a Trump supporter, but all right, I hang 425 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,680 on a second, let me stop there. That line right there, 426 00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:44,240 My computer froze for a second. So that line right 427 00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:50,279 there though, that women will choose to to go after 428 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:54,359 an assassin before they will pick me on a dating app, 429 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,279 and that speaks to we talked we heard this what 430 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,519 last week when we were playing some of the soundbites. Oh, 431 00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:08,799 the guy's from Axios and they were talking about reporter brain, remember, 432 00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:13,599 and there was this group think peer pressure is what 433 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640 he's talking about. I said this at the time, and 434 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,880 that is rooted in an insecurity at the individual level, 435 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,400 they're insecure, and I think that's what this guy just expressed, 436 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:32,559 this insecurity that chicks don't find him attractive. Seriously, Like 437 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,400 I think that is, he's frustrated about it and he 438 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,720 wants to be at the cool kids table. That's what 439 00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:42,680 this sounds like to me. Here's a great idea. How 440 00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:45,839 about making an escape to a really special and secluded 441 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680 getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up 442 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,880 the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection.

She did it again, Taylor 462 00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:05,119 Lorenz seemingly condoned murder by political leftists. I don't even 463 00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:09,000 know if this guy, Luigi Mangioni is actually a leftist. 464 00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:15,440 I think he's insane. I think his rantings prove his 465 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:23,920 mental illness. But she still has this difficult time saying 466 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,079 that it is anything other than a cold blooded murder, 467 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,240 which is what it was. There's no justification for it. 468 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:33,279 There is no justification for walking up behind somebody who 469 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:39,599 has not presented a physical threat to you and shooting 470 00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:44,599 them in the back. I've got a message here from 471 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,559 Russ who says Taylor Lorenz's whole identity and significance is 472 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,559 built around fame. However she can get it, so it's 473 00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:57,559 not a surprise she cannot differentiate shows about criminals from 474 00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:00,839 criminals having their own shows. To her, it's probably the 475 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,680 same thing. And at Patriot Girl says Taylor Lorenz is 476 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,559 a garbage human. This does not surprise me at all 477 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:17,079 coming from her. David Strawm at hottier dot com said, 478 00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:21,519 Taylor Lorenz exemplifies the I don't approve of violence but 479 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,559 type of person. While many people who default to this 480 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,359 step away from violence before embracing it a bit more slyly, 481 00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:36,440 Taylor goes for broke and doesn't just fangirl the idea 482 00:30:36,519 --> 00:30:40,599 of striking a blow against evil capitalists. She embraces the 483 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,440 people who do it, to the point of suggesting that 484 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:49,279 such people are sexy heroes. Here's the thing for you, 485 00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:53,039 folks on the left, right, and really anybody with a 486 00:30:53,200 --> 00:31:01,680 utopian point of view, any system has finite rear and 487 00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:06,359 potentially infinite demands on them, right, any kind of a 488 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,559 healthcare system like this that Mangione was supposedly motivated by, 489 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,000 and that Taylor Lorenz keeps saying these stupid things about 490 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:24,240 you have finite resources and limitless demands for those finite resources. 491 00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:29,960 I have made this argument since the Obamacare days almost 492 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,039 now what fifteen years. 493 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 4: Is it? 494 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:41,079 Speaker 1: Fifteen ten longer than that anyway, Gosh, I'm getting old anyway. 495 00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:46,000 The finite resources and the infinite demands, you can only 496 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,759 do so much with the finite resources, and so you 497 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,440 have to ration in some way, either by access or 498 00:31:54,559 --> 00:31:58,799 by price. So you either tell people they can't get 499 00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:02,039 the services, like they do up in Canada. That's what 500 00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:03,839 they do in Canada. That's what they do over in 501 00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:08,200 the UK. They ration it by access. You literally cannot 502 00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:11,839 access the service, even if you're a billionaire, you can't 503 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:18,039 get in. Or you ration by price, and at least 504 00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:22,359 with the price ration, there's a chance. See. Without the 505 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,359 rationing of pricing, then you're just rationing by access, and 506 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,640 that means a bureaucrat is just making decisions far away 507 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,480 from you, and you have no ability to influence that. 508 00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:38,599 And so here's the problem. When you have that kind 509 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,640 of a utopian vision that perfection is one of the 510 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:47,440 options that's available and it's not. Because you know finite resources, 511 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,519 they will inevitably look for villains to blame. And David 512 00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:56,640 Strom is exactly right about that. I've talked about this 513 00:32:56,759 --> 00:33:01,319 pattern in collectivism, this Marxist ideology. It's why it's so 514 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,279 toxic and dangerous, and it manifests itself the same way 515 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,359 all the time, which is, first you have your revolution 516 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,519 and you overthrow the oppressor, do a whole bunch of murdering, right, 517 00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:17,799 and then when the system doesn't work, because it cannot work, 518 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,279 then you start looking for the villains. And at first 519 00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:25,359 you see this in Venezuela. Right. At first, maybe you 520 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,519 go after the landowners and the capitalists and all of that, 521 00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:31,559 you weed them out, useful idiots. Sorry, guys, you got 522 00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:35,480 to go too. But then great Satan is the reason. 523 00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:38,359 It's the United States, it's the foreign actors. And then 524 00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:43,359 you accuse people in your own country of being tied 525 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,799 to that foreign villain too. Things must not turn out 526 00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:53,759 well because some evil person caused it to happen, because 527 00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:57,319 surely it's not our plan, surely it's not our system. 528 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:03,759 Who brush past the I don't approve of violence part 529 00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:06,920 of the sentence, whether they are Taylor Lorenz or Chuck Schumer, 530 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,000 you'll recall who refused to denounce violence against Tesla, but 531 00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:14,320 then explain why people should hate Elon Musk. What they're 532 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,119 doing is actually justifying the violence. And they will say 533 00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:21,119 they're not, but they absolutely are. These are the people 534 00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,639 who will give you long explanations for why Trump inspires 535 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:29,239 hate while refusing to denounce it. Strom says, I could 536 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,840 give you a long list of leftists who I think 537 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,400 are threats to the Western way of life, but I 538 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,440 wouldn't for a moment suggest that people go out and 539 00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:39,559 kill them. And if one of them got killed by 540 00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:42,280 a hot girl, I wouldn't start laughing about how much 541 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,280 I would want to spend the night with her, Because 542 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:50,079 killing people is wrong except in very limited circumstances, and 543 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,719 political disputes are not on that list of the very 544 00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:02,079 limited circumstances. Politics is what we do to avoid the violence. 545 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,960 And if if you are too emotionally or intellectually stunted 546 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,239 to understand this, right, then you don't I don't think 547 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,559 you should be participating in the society. Leftism is an 548 00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:19,719 anti civilization or sorry, he says, Leftism is anti civilization 549 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,440 because civilization begins with agreeing on rules by which we 550 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:31,440 govern ourselves and within which we behave in the society. Right, 551 00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:36,840 and the way we make the rules is politics. That's 552 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:41,760 how we do it the law making process. That doesn't 553 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,599 mean it doesn't get emotional, doesn't mean it's not important. 554 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:49,360 It is, but if you cannot settle it through the 555 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,800 you know, the rules that we have set up for 556 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,440 our society, and you're going to say, you know what, 557 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,079 I'm not going to follow those rules anymore because my 558 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:03,000 feelings trump your right to exist. You do not want 559 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,599 to live in a society when everybody adopts that standard. 560 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,880 At the heart of this, Strom says, the left loves 561 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,559 the shay Guavaras of the world because in the end, 562 00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:19,960 they kind of love the violence. They find it sexy, 563 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:26,800 as with this guy Mangioni, and all societies have such people. Unfortunately, 564 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,360 since the nineteen sixties, the Democrat Party has embraced them 565 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:41,119 the weathermen, Hello, Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Indivisible Right, 566 00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:45,360 these are the organizations, the shock troops of the left, 567 00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:49,119 and it's been this way for a while and they 568 00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:55,159 have such a hard time calling them out on it. Here, Well, 569 00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:59,639 I don't have time to play h Yeah, let's see 570 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,599 this is wait, this is I think this is a minute. 571 00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 3: It looks like this. 572 00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:10,559 Speaker 1: Is Taylor Lawrence on TMZ. It looks like you're saying 573 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,480 there should be open season on some of these CEOs. 574 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely not, So let me just be super clear. No, 575 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,239 we should not murder CEOs. No we should not go 576 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,559 around shooting people in the street. But I think what's 577 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:25,320 really missing in all of these conversations is context. When 578 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,320 you see the entire Internet, left and right, united around 579 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,840 one thing, and that is celebrating I hate to say too, 580 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,840 the death of a healthcare CEO, you have to ask why, 581 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,360 And I don't think that has been discussed at all. 582 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,119 There's no discussions of the systemic cruelty in our healthcare 583 00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:46,079 system or the fact that thousands of Americans die because 584 00:37:46,159 --> 00:37:49,840 CEOs like this one and others deny essential life saving 585 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,760 care to Americans. And I think that's the real that's 586 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,880 where this anger is coming from. And of course people 587 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,400 are going to get a little carried away and celebrate, 588 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,639 but they're celebrating because it feel like a victory. It 589 00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:05,760 feels like somebody stood up to this barbaric, evil, cruel, 590 00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:09,880 violent system for once, and of course he matched it 591 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,920 with violence, which you know, again, we are not condoning 592 00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:15,440 murder here. Okay, that is not the solution to this, 593 00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:17,840 but I do think that a lot of people, you know, 594 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,400 it's got people talking, Yeah, it's. 595 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: Got people talking, you know, what can I say. I'm 596 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,639 just justifying it. That's all all right. That'll do it 597 00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:29,280 for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
