Speaker 1

One of the frustrations I have with what the Democrats do is they engage in so much propaganda and are so relentless that we forget what we've already learned. And that's something that's going on right now, and I

want to dive into that today. There are things that are clear to anybody who has an understanding of what has come before us, what has happened previously in this country and in general. Democrats like to reject that. The same way they believe they can create a utopia, they also think they can create a new narrative of history in order to get us there, right, So they just change the facts from the past to control the facts in the future.

What figure from our past comes to mind? Everyone's already saying it, that's right. I wish I could say it was, you know, the god that had a special fondness for interns and and was just always trying to hold the ladies of America close, holding real close. Maybe give a little squeeze, just to know that they feel like he's there, you know, like like he's squeezing their hand. Obviously, that's what That's what good old Bill Clinton would walt. He

just that's the only thing he'd squeeze. No, not him, Jimmy Carter, friends, that's who people are already thinking about with Joe Biden. Another guy who seemed like he was weighing over his head, not up for the job, and was able to create some of the things we're already seeing now. A sputtering economy, concerns about unemployment, kicking off inflation, gas lines, our enemies thinking that we don't actually know

how to deal with them at home or abroad. Right, there are so many things you look at with Carter and Biden, and I know people are already taking it to that next step of maybe, just maybe there's a Republican who will come in after this as our second coming of Reagan. But for now, I just want to say that what we are seeing to me from the Biden administration makes us ask the question, is this guy

actually captain obvious? Is this a guy Joe Biden who seems to not know what all the rest of us know, and then when he comes to the clear and obvious conclusion, wants a pat on the head. Okay, it turns out that when you are just talking about raising taxes and spewing a lot of Marxist claptrap, hiring doesn't go as well as people who are focused on only that in the economy think it will. Right, you had a couple of hundred thousand jobs outed in April instead of the

million jobs that dal Jones was expecting. It was at least a half a million below most of the projections that I saw, an enormous job's miss. Why would that happen? Well, because it turns out that when you just talk about raising taxes and spending trillions and trillions of dollars, different companies, different businesses, say, how's that going to affect me? What's going to happen here? Maybe I'm gonna ride this thing out a little bit before I make any major decisions.

I'll give you another example of the captain obvious administration here. It seems that Biden is just figuring out now that people won't work if you are paying them, won't work if you're paying them more then they would make from working. Biden is still pretending that this is not the case, but it's pretty obvious using that word again. Play fourteen. I know there's been a lot of discussions since Friday, since Friday's report that people are being paid to stay

home rather than go to work. Well, we don't see much evidence of that that is a major factor. We don't see that. You look, it's easy to say the line has been because of the generous unemployment benefits, that it's a major factor in labor shortage. Americans want to work, Americans want to work. Just talking points. That's where this guy always falls into. It doesn't he's an idiot folks. He's not a smart man. I know that. He's the president of the United States, and the Democrats have created

this whole fiction around him. For why are we supposed to be impressed by this guy again because he was Obama's vice president. Oh okay, that's really that's really a game changer. This is not somebody who understands macro or microeconomics, not somebody who's ever run a business. This is a guy who has been delivering speeches written by other people and spewing whatever is most popular in the moment as a Democrat for longer than I've been alive. That's what

this guy is doing. That's all he knows how to do. He's essentially a talking points machine that goes wherever the polls, wherever the puppet tears around him tell him to go. That's what Joe Biden does. It's not a leader, he's not a thinker. Now he's the president. It's a remarkable state of affairs. Why wouldn't people stay home if they are receiving more pay from the government for doing nothing, And who's to say they're doing nothing? Maybe they've got

a side hustle going. Maybe they're you know, doing some work, you know, under the table, or they're building out their dream job or their dream business or whatever. Who knows. But for a lot of folks who aren't making a ton of money by showing up doing hourly shift work at fast food restaurants or any number of places. For a lot of folks, it's a pretty clear it's a pretty clear calculation, and it should be clear to anybody. It should be obvious. Word of the day. What happens

when you spend trillions of dollars? What happens when you spend trillions of dollars? You know, if you were in economics one O one class, you'd have people who were saying, well, you are debasing your currency. Your debasing your currency. We are led to believe somehow that's not happening. Meanwhile, lumber cost for home building is up, what is it, three hunder four percent something like that, way way up. Looks like the stock market right now, which was very high

coming into this administration, might have stalled out. And the Wall Street Journal, as a piece from earlier today, if inflation is coming, here's what to do about it. Remember, once inflation hits and everybody sees it too late, too late, to really make it go away, you're going to suffer the consequences of it. But I think we're already seeing it. It's just the government and the people in charge of the levers at the FED are hiding this. Food prices

going up, home building prices going up. Lumber has already told you there are a number of things where it's hard to hide what's really going on here. And then there's just the overall trajectory of the economy. All Joe Biden had to do, all the Democrats had to do this year for us to have a booming economy was stay the heck out of the way. That's all they

had to do. Just get out of the way. And by get out of the way, I mean also stop all the neuroses and all the craziness with continued lockdowns and your mask obsession and all this stuff. Just let businesses go do their business and let the American people come back to their lives and their work. But no, Democrats want They want to meddle, they want to control, they want to dictate, and they want to spend. So there are these these intersecting levels of obviousness that we

are seeing right now. And yes, we have. We have gas lines, we have inflation feed years, we have a stalled economic recovery. We have a Biden administration that is not a surprise to any of us who were paying attention and have been paying attention with the Democrat Party has become. And also what Joe Biden was saying during the campaign, and yes, the recovery is stumbling. Why is that happening because of Joe Biden's policies. This couldn't be

any easier. You have an economy that is going through an artificial government mandated recession because of COVID and made it worse with the lockdowns than it would have otherwise been. Yes, there would have been some restriction on uneconomic activity from people who were scared and not going out as much, but a lot of this was a function of government policy and it was arbitrary. As we'd own it was dumb in so many cases. Florida did not shut down.

Its economy is better off, has been better off than states like California, in New York, Texas. You've sort of come to the party a little late with Florida, but you're doing better than obviously other states are. But all you have to do if you're this administration is stop messing things up. But no, they think they're helping. This

is the classic trap of the authoritarian democrat mindset. They believe they're making things better when all the indicators we can see are that dumbass Democrats with Biden leading the pack, are making everything worse. They are making it worse. They are extending and prolonging the pain of lockdowns. They are making people concerned about the value of the dollar, and about what taxes and not just corporate taxes, but all kinds of different changes to the irs code are going

to do to our economy. This is what we face now. We can all see it, and it was all obvious from the beginning to anybody who pays attention, who knows history and believes that one plus one equals two. Turns out that shutting down infrastructure projects like the Keystone XEL pipeline for ideological reasons is a really shortsighted and stupid

thing to do. Turns out that spending trillions of dollars sounds great to the people that are going to get all kinds of goodies from it, but to the overall economy, it's a disaster. When you pay people more to stay home than to work. Guess what they do. I mean, this does any of the surprise? Oh, when you defund police, turns out you get a lot more violence on the streets. Gee, who could have seen that coming? Oh that's right, absolutely everybody.

This stuff is obvious to anyone who is not delusional. But the Democrats are the party of delusion. We don't see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a major driver in people not rejoining the workforce. We actually see the data, and our analysis shows that lack of vaccination the lower rate, which is why I refer to the data in the week that it was taken. It has an impact, childcare has an impact, Schools reopening has

an impact. But there's also the need to pay a livable working wage, and that's one of the reasons the President will talk about that this afternoon. But as Bank of America economists who are cited in a Bloomberg story stage, anybody making less than thirty two thousand dollars a year is better financially just taking the unemployment benefit. So is the White House creating an incentive just to stay home? Well, again, the majority of economists internally and acts externally of the

White House. Don't feel that unemployment insurance something that was done at a time where to help unemployed people get through a very difficult economic downturn during a pandemic is a is the a major driver in our unemployment data.

Notice how the absurd mediocrity Jen Saki Bomb immediately does this appeal to authority instead of engaging with the question that Peter Doocey a Fox News who it's a great it's a great gig, folks, to be the one person in the West Wing, and I know there's probably a few others. I don't know if one America's over there these days or anyone else. But to basically be the one guy with real access who gets to be a journalist,

isn't that amazing? You get to ask real questions, You get to push for information and hold the administration into account, speak truth to power. Right, these are things that all journalists say they do when really they show up in the West Wing and they give Biden the equivalent of a foot massage every day. I mean, it should be embarrassing to them, but they know that this is what is necessary for their careers and also for the ideologically this is where they are, This is what they actually

believe should happen. Right. So, while this is a total abdication of journalistic integrity, yeah, it's also deeply boring from the journos. As I said, the only member of the White House Press Corps whoever asks a real question seems to be Doucy for Fox News. And you can almost hear the groans coming from the supposed guardians of our democracy who sit around them. These legacy media journalists might as well be wearing Harris Biden twenty twenty four hats

while they sit in the West Wing. I mean, their fourth est state cosplay, we speak truth to power is pathetic and grown inducing. It really is. It's just awful. They're all they're pandering for a pat on the head from Saki Bomb and they just gush at her every utterance. Oh, it's amazing. Finally have somebody who speaks truth from that podium. Sure, yeah, that's what's really going on here, oh my, And that they can engage on the clear math. It's a math question.

How much does somebody make forty hours a week for fifty two weeks of work? How much does somebody or over the course of a few weeks. How much does somebody make with the state and federal unemployment benefits that they are currently getting thanks to the Biden administrations enormous spending decisions. Okay, that's why you have restaurants and other businesses who are saying, we have an employee shortage, and to say, you just have to pay them more. Okay,

then your hamburger is going to start costing more. They're gonna have to pass this on to customers. This is just how it works. We all know it's It's remarkable, though, isn't it. The people who know the least about how to run a business are the ones making the most decisions now in the government about businesses. Not good friends, not good a major drag on the kinds of hiring and productivity we should be seeing. And then there's this

Colonial pipeline situation. There are gas lines already. The Colonial pipeline was hit, the largest pipeline in North America and was hit with a cyber attack ransomware. They think it might originate from Russia. Now Russia was so scary into Trump, but now we're gonna have a very different tone about Russia. Right. We need to we need to talk to them, and we need to figure things out. But here is Biden yesterday addressing this. Because this people are waiting in lines.

I mean, they're showing up at gas stations. I've been seeing the video of this on social media. They're shown up at gas stations told there's no gas. This happened to me a few times when I was in West Africa a long time ago. We're show up at a gas station they said there's no gas. Not something you expect to happen in Virginia, South Carolina. You know you don't. They don't expect to be driving around saying, hold on a second, you got no gas here? What's going on?

Play clip one. Over the weekend, at my direction to the Department of Transportation, issued in evergency order to loosen restrictions on truck drivers in order to allow more fuel to be transported by a tanker. We're prepared to take additional steps depending on how quickly the company is able to bring US pipeline back to full operational capacity. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has determined Colonials network was infected

by ransomware and it's a criminal act. Obviously, FBI released details of the attack so others can take steps to prevent being effective. My administration takes issue, this takes us very seriously. We have efforts underway with the FBI and DOJ Department Justice to disrupt and prosecute ransomware criminals, and my administration will be pursuing a global effort of ransomware attacks by transnational criminals who often use global money laundering

networks to carry them out. No, they don't have time, they don't have resources to track down global money laundering and ransomware attacks against critical US infrastructure. They have insurrectionists to find. Why we need to go find all the insurrections. That's what the FBI is focused on. Oh and the CIA, as you know, is focused on other things these days too than getting the best people. Another CIA video came out that was pretty remarkable on recruiting who they're trying

to recruit. But on the Colonial pipeline cyber attack, nobody really takes Joe Biden seriously when he says there will be consequences for this, Well, maybe he should have a government that focuses on what is important and what is necessary, like cyber infrastructure protection. And this is within the National Security Room. Right, So I'm not just picking one random

issue and saying why not this when it's something else. No, how much have you heard Biden talk about climate change is an existential threat versus how much have you heard him talk about the need for not only pipeline cybersecurity, more pipelines. Oh no, that's right, he xed out the keystone XL. I am a former CIA analyst. You might know that if you listen to the show, you're following

him at work. But it's been a long time, and I haven't been the agency in years, going on a decade now, because I've been doing radio for almost ten years, so I can tell you what it was like then, and that it's clearly just continued in this trend of wokeness that so many other corporations and entities and government agencies have. But just when you thought maybe they would have a little bit of a change in their approach, the official CIA YouTube account put out this video. This

is a recruitment and pr video. But here's the kind of stuff that that they're now promoting at the Central Intelligence Agency, which I'll tell you because I'm honest about this stuff. There's a lot of paperwork and Latte's at the CIA, you know, there's there's a lot of sitting in meetings, and you got a lot got a lot of people with soft, stubby fingers, worried more about their overtime, and you know how soon they can get on the highway to get back home to you know, they're they're

sixty sixty minute drive to get in or whatever. I mean. It's it's not as glamorous and sexy as the James Bond stuff. I can you already knew that, but I'm just telling you there is some really interesting stuff that goes on there there. If you want to do cool stuff in the CIA, it is possible, but you will constantly be surrounded by people that don't want that. I

think that excellence is suspect. That's the best way I can put it to you, And that being mission first in a real way is something that makes people uncomfortable. You're supposed to go along with the bureaucracy, and because it is a bureaucracy, you have a lot of authoritarian leftists who spend all their time policing Hatch Act violations. Oh you said you like Ronald Reagan as a joke in a meeting you're not allowed to do that, you know,

and just generally harassing you. So that that's really the mentality that you see in a lot of the ages. It's just true. There are leftists that run the CIA, leftists that run the State Department. And I'm sorry, but it's the truth. And actually no, I'm not sorry. The leftist mentality is inherently not as patriotic as it should be,

and in many cases anti patriotic. And I know that's tough to hear because there are a lot of these federal agencies and institutions where you'd think, shouldn't we have superpatriots working there? We should, but we don't. A lot of people that believe in critical race theory, a lot of people that focus on diversity and inclusion as the primary mission. You know, you've seen some of the stuff even in the United States military now hurting military combat

readiness because of a politically correct agenda. And you know, they'll trot out someone, they'll get some four star or some retired four star. Even worse, we're just politicians and they're all just trying to get on the board of raytheon. So do you think that they're really worried about whether we're gonna win the next war, or they worried about their stock options and being corporate friendly. These are speak speaking the truth. Friends. I know some people don't want

to hear it. A lot of you are nodding your heads though, especially if you actually served. You're saying, yep, a lot of politicians with stars on their shoulders, just the way it is, and the same things. It's even more true at the Agency. It's even more true at the CIA. You got a bunch of leftists running around who view the CIA as because it has a reputation for a kind of intellectual elitism, which is largely undeserved. Again, I'm just I'm telling you the truth about these places.

It's very hard to get a job at the CIA. And I was stunned by how much mediocrity there was. There there was there were also there were pockets of excellence. So and there are people. And I have to say this because I don't want you to get the wrong impression. You know, ten percent of that building do ninety percent of the work and of the reason why you can sleep safely at night, so to speak. And I don't just mean CIA, I mean the whole Intel community. And

anybody working in it. More broadly, you know, it's one in ten people that are just there to do the job and stop the bad guys and beat our opponents. And then it's i'd say six out of ten who are just showing up, do what they're told, get a paycheck. And then three out of ten are Bernie Sanders loving leftists who think that the intelligence community is racist unless it focuses first and foremost on diversity inclusion. I mean,

it's a big chunk, a big chunk. And you see this from the latest Humans of CIA video put out from their official CIA account. This is a guy who's an agency librarian, which is a thing. There is a library in the CIA. Here's what he talks about his view of being a member of the CIA mission. I always struggled with the idea that I might not be

able to discuss my personal life at work. Imagine my surprise when I was taking my oath at CIA and I noticed a rainbow on then Director Brennan's lanyard, which I later learned was designed by Angel, one of the many employee resource groups here at the agency. I remember being stunned. Since then, however, I've learned that far beyond

the resource groups. Inclusion is a core value here. Officers from the top down work hard to ensure that every single person, whatever their gender, gender identity, race, disability, or

sexual orientation, can bring their entire self to work every day. Yeah, that's what's really important here, talking about bringing your gender identity to work with you every day, not stopping the Chinese from dominating the globe, or stopping the Russians from shutting down our pipelines stealing all of our intellectual property. You know, I'm just wondering, at what point is it too much? Can we all agree that we just that it is human nature and it is in fact a

moral position to in certain jobs. I'm not going to say all jobs, because people will fight with me over that. Fine, In some jobs, you really just want the person who has the greatest competency. You want the greatest competency possible. He say, what's an example of this. You are going to find out in a week whether your spouse survives

a very serious brain surgery because of an aneurysm. Do you care if the brain surgeon is somebody who got the job because of diversity and inclusion, or do you want somebody who got the job because that person had the highest possible MCATs, the highest ratings as a resident, and then you know, in their specialty, and you know, what do you want? And I would put to you that the the CRT lunatics would say it's it's racism.

If you don't agree that we still should take into account a person's gender, identity, skin or anything else in this process, or you know that it's an ism of

some kind, racism, sexism, transphobia. I don't care. I'm telling you if if it is the true and objective belief that a person who is a transgender female living a polyamorous lifestyle from you know where, from and the name any country in the world, if that individual is the best brain surgeon for my loved one, I swear to you on all that is holy, that is who I

would want operating on my spouse. But what I don't want is you know, uh, you know the super genius doctor named you know John, you know John Smith or something to be pushed aside because you know, we we gotta have a we gotta have more inclusive brain surgery

residencies here at the hospital, and no like that. That's and that's a central that's a central fight, a central challenge now in society, and people white liberals on this issue are enormous frauds because they look at you right beyond this they no, no, it's not that's not right. I don't agree with that. I think it's not true that you can have the absolute best while changing standards

for diversity and inclusion reasons. They will fight you on this, but this is this forces you to believe something that is illogical. If all that matters is competency, that's the end of the sentence, that's the end of the conversation. If competency plus diversity and inclusion is what matters, you can't say that all that matters is competency. Is this is just a simple function of logic. But as we see with so many other things with democrats and leftists,

logic is the enemy reason. Truth is in fact the enemy of building the society that they think is more equitable.

And that's how you have at the CIA, people who are are announcing how proud they are of the fact that the CIA is now recruiting people with an eye to making sure that they have a broad representation of of gender identities, and and that there's a I always want to know what is the proper what is the proper balance of racial and ethnic diversity in a federal institution like the CIA, because quotas, remember quotas are not allowed, because then that's too it's too clear that you're going

to make decisions to hit those numbers. You can't have quotas. But so then what's what's the proper amount of diversity? And people who say this is just a principle that doesn't influence hiring decisions are either ignorant or wrong. They absolutely influence hiring decisions. And I've seen I've had conversations. I have conversations actually with a person who was in the federal government who was trying to get rid of an employee, but that employee fell in a protected category

and it's basically impossible. And that person told me if I had done the things that the person in the protected category had as a federal employee, oh my butt would have been terminated a long time ago. This is the reality of what is going on. And I'm bringing it up because you know, you may think that, okay, we could we can sacrifice the CIA and the intelligence community to the PC gods and still be okay as a country. You feel that way about the military, because

that's happening too. You feel that way about, as I said, brain surgeons, modern medicine, where the difference between the very best and just okay is actually the difference between life and death. I think that this is where we have to really push back and understand what kind of a country we want to live in, what kind of a

society we want going forward? Do we want a place that rewards competency regardless of race, gender, identity, or any other characteristic, which is gonna it's gonna mean that, yes, you're you're going to have people who are from minority groups, from different people who are who are trans, people who are members of the LGBTQ community, who are at the

absolute top of their fields. And we'll know, everybody will know that there's no other considerations involved, and so we can all understand, we can all agree that competency is the driving factor, or we can have one where the Left gets to play their social engineering games and people suffer. National security suffers, military readiness suffers. We see there's plenty of evidence about this. They don't fight back, they don't fight this, this critique with evidence, though they fight it

with slanders. You're a racist, you're bigot, your misogynist, you're a transphope, whatever it may be. They just attack people to silence them. Feels pretty Stalinist. And if you look at the history of the Soviet Union, for example, you'll see that Stalin's fixation on power at the expense of those who were competent below him led to some pretty disastrous stuff when the Soviets were actually facing a determined

enemy like the Germans got. When you hollow out your officer corps because you're executing everybody all the time, turns out your competency takes a nosedive. And that was a major problem that Stalin faced, certainly in the Well and honestly both World Wars, but he wasn't in charge in

the first one. So that's something to keep in mind as well, that competency has long term implications in a society, and by the time we figure out, oh, well, you mean the Chinese, you're just building the most effective intelligence in the terry apparatus possible and not sitting around giving people diversity lectures be too late. When the Left figures that out, I think these whether the people that are

complaining that he's going to be on Center Live. I think what's going on now is like they want someone to be one hundred percent compliant to whatever ideology they're a part of the idea, and any deviation of that is problematic. Whether it's because they think like I saw an article that said Elon Musk donated one hundred and fifty million dollars to some charity and they called him

a cheap skate. It's hilarious. How hilarious is that? We wait, dill they see when I'm a billionaire, get ready with this cheap skate? No, my brother, but it's it was. It was such a article. It's just a poorly written knucklehead article. Yeah, it's again like you say, no one can be wokenough. You know, I'm torn because I like a warrior for a good cause, but I'm really in the tactics. You're not gonna nag people into behaving right

in a way. That's you know, in fact, if you continue with this tone, even if you're right, you'll be very hard to hear. You can never be woke enough. I think that's important for everyone to know and to hear you can never be woken off. You can never be enough of a fauci i, you can never align yourself enough with the goals of the left to be truly secure, because it is all about power, it's not

about principle. And if you have to be fed into the machinery, if the cancel culture would chipper, you know has has space for you, it's going to be a rough day. And I see this all over the place now in the media where people are They're no longer funny, they're no longer dynamic, they're no longer interesting because they

can't be because they're so worried all the time. And when you bring this up, you'll have shrill, idiot leftists who you know, throw around their credentials from some who gives a crap undergrad institution or maybe even columbial journalism school, as though that indicates they have some wisdom or something special to add to the conversation, who say that there is no cancel culture, there's only accountability culture. They'll say these stupid, smug things, as if once again what is

obvious is in fact not even true to them. I mean, I think these things are any human being who's paying attention can figure out that there's something really stifling and bad going on in America today, and it is coming from the left. They want censorship, they want big tech doing their dirty work. They want to ruin people's lives as part of just their intoxication with power in our culture and then our politics. And you have the people that are on that side. We'll look at you and say, oh,

I don't even know what you're talking about. That's not even happening. You just don't want to be held accountable for anything. And this is why Elon Musk hosting Saturday Night Live, which is a garbage show with untalented people, just is I would watch it if it were good. I used to watch The Daily Show back in the day when John Stewart hosted, even though he was a small leftist propagandist, but he was good at it. Snls not even good at being a bunch of woe cry babies.

They were lucky that Elon spent five minutes with them.

We can't mandate people do certain things, but we could certainly give them the best advice possible. And the guidance that the photograment has put out is

for your safety, wearing a mask, getting vaccinated crucial. If you haven't done either, or if you're not doing either one of those two, you're in real trouble. But if you've been vaccinated, you're obviously far safer. We still want you to be as safe as possible. That's why the indoor policy should still be masking. But clearly, if you've been vaccinated fully and you're with folks who are also vaccinated, John,

the risk does diminish dramatically. But again, to be safe, you could end up being a carrier not know it. And if somebody hasn't been vaccinated or doesn't wear a mask, guess what, there's still that potential of getting COVID. AJJS secretary,

But Sarah is just another blathering buffoon here. You know, we never have government officials from the Biden administration even talking about how many people have already got COVID, how many people have been vaccinated, and so what they're insisting on is that you have at least two hundred million people. It's probably more like two hundred and fifty million people at this point should have no concerns whatsoever about this virus. They could still get it. I understand it's possible, but

it's just unreasonable to continue to live in fear of this. Right, just do the numbers. Thirty percent of the country is fully vaccinated right now, a little over thirty percent, so that's one hundred million people. Now I can't tell you how many of those who have been infected are also

those who have been vaccinated. There's going to be some crossover, but you've had at least one hundred and fifty million people who have had the virus, so you gotta be at half the country has no reasonable one hundred and fifty million people has no reasonable fear, should have no reasonable fear of this whatsoever. It's probably more like two hundred million. So two thirds of the country is basically fine. This is just back of the envelope math. But you

can do it yourself. They tell you that thirty four percent I think is the number I saw this week are vaccinated, and they will tell you that or they're they're by their own figures, thirty million infections. They're catching maybe one in five. That's one hundred and fifty million infections over the course of the pandemic. So you're at one hundred million vaccinations, one hundred and fifty million infections. At least fifty million more people with natural immunity than

have infections. So we're getting to a big chunk of the country that doesn't have to worry about this anymore, but they want us all to worry about it. All of you have to mask, all of you to do these things. You know, it's just it's not working, it's not smart, and they want to continue this. You think that vaccine passports have gone away. No, the HHS SECT remember this Health and Human Services. This is an agency that has weight to throw around on this issue. AJJ Secretary.

But Sarah is saying that, you know, maybe we do have to ban people from buildings who have not gotten the shot play eight. How do we get to a point where we get everyone to be as safe as possible? You know, it was always difficult to get people on motorcycles to wear helmets for their own safety. It was tough at times to get people to wear seat belts

for their own safety. What we're simply saying is the best guidance from those who are the experts in healthcare is be as safe as possible by wearing a mask, even if you're vaccinated. But yeah, if you're vaccinated, you're around people who are vaccinated, Clearly you're going to be far better off. It's a matter of just it's a matter of being using common sense. John and I can't tell you more than that, other than we want every American to be safe, and we want every American to

get vaccinated. And the more we do that, the more we can say every American can stop having to worry about wearing a mask. So is it a choice? Are you making us? Because you're making us, but you're pretending it's a choice. And is it based on Dana or is it based on your unreasonable fear in your desire for control? Which one is it? Be? Sarah, That's what you really should ask the Biden administration. They can't have it both ways. You know, we're just encouraging you to

be safer. No, you're not. You're making us You try to get on an airplane right now without a mask, they will remove you, and they will ban you from that airline forever, they say, and they'll point to the federal government. You know who's really responsible for this too? Our businesses afraid of being fined or being sued, or do businesses really want to harass every customer who comes in to wear a mask? At this point, which one is? It?

Just wondering. They don't have an answer for you. It's stunning to watch this play out, and they've ignored all they've ignored all of what we saw over the wintertime. Remember, why do we go to two masks in January? Why did that really happen? If you believe it happened because they did some new, really high end testing on double masking, you're just not very smart. Why did they do it? We all know, you know you're listening to this show because masks were not working the way they told us

they would. That's it. It's obvious. They can yell at me and say everything else they want. What they're gonna do now is say that you know there was a time when they would tell us that masks were more effective than even the vaccine. Remember the CDC director said that I would even say that this mask is more effective than a vaccine. Redfield. The guy was a moron, but he said that in front of Congress, no less,

which is idiotic. Yeah, do I think that, you know, masks may end up preventing something like you know, or maybe useful in one percent of case reduction or something along the lines that we've actually seen from mask mandates. That's what they think, and that's within the margin of errors. You know, maybe is it worth it to harass the entire country and put us all through this for No, it is not. It's not. That's the problem. See that that's the difference in approach to all this. You know.

They say, oh, well, you don't listen. I had to mask up in New York here all the time, did it didn't. Didn't end up with anything other than me getting COVID. I got COVID. So oh, but it's gonna protect you, it's gonna protect you. No, it didn't. It didn't. And there's a reason why this was not policy for dealing with dealing with respiratory viruses until until twenty twenty we all know that too, right, it's so obvious that nobody thought this was obvious until like five minutes ago. Yeah,

think it through, folks, we all know. We all see even on this issue. Lemon and Cuomo over at CNN. Oh wait, I gotta tell you this is great. You know CNN has lost as of I think it was last Friday, the most recent for this past Friday's ratings plus two thirds of their audience from January. You just you can't watch these complete frauds who have nothing interesting

to say, who have no insights to offer whatsoever. I mean, they're just what they would call them the UK newsreaders, really, and they read off the prompter, They ask a couple of dumb questions, they tell the audience what they think they want to hear. It's not interesting. I mean, it's deeply boring to watch people try to prop up the Biden administration. I think that is clear. I think that's ombious. And that's what we're seeing. That is what is playing

out before US year. And so even Democrats are at least going to MSNBC. They want the real, unadulterated leftist radical perspective on America. Right, they want the actual activist socialist left ethos reflected in their news which they get from MSNBC. It's crazy, but at least there's an honesty to it, whereas it CNN there's still oh, we're just journalists, we're just journals. We're just providing you with the truth.

In any moment. Now there could be another insurrection. You gotta be scared, mask up and get ready for the insurrection. It's just bad content. It's not worth listening. You don't learn anything. It's certainly not true. But that's what they do over there, plenty of it. Lemon and Cuomo agreeing though that this whole keep doing all the dumbass stuff we have to do, even after you're fully vaccinated. This

is a big problem. You don't say play six. If you were going to say, I believe in the science and the scientists, then now on this side of the pandemic, then you must believe in the science and scientists as well. I agree, saying to you, if you're fully vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask outside. If you want to travel, you can wear a mask, follow the protocols.

But it is ninety nine point nine nine or whatever percent chances that you won't get you won't get COVID, then you should trust in that science as well and get back to your life. I could walk out of here and get hit by a bus. I want to live my life. I want to see my loved ones. So can we get back to some semblance of normalcy? And we cannot be afraid to go back into normal with you? But I willie help me argue one to

five logic. I'll argue one point for your mom. Okay, this messaging about the vaccine has not been good enough. They still make you feel like it's not like every other vaccine that you've ever had in your life, where you may still get it. You should still wear a mask. You still have enough to be contagious, you can still spread it. You know. I get white people like your mom and my mom. Yeah, did not feel the confidence that we were supposed to have in getting this vaccine messaging.

And I still don't think they're allowing the numbers and the science to rule, and they're giving people with vaccines even more latitude, especially now that you have people who don't want to get it. I know, I just trashed CNN and they deserve it. But what they said here is pretty much correct. So I'm just gonna know. I always tell you credit words due. Yes, yes, this is idiocy. Let's call it what is. Let's be clear about this.

Let's not use the terminology they want. This notion that you're supposed to keep on doing this stuff where you're always are you afraid of getting measles? Well, you've had the MMR vaccination most likely if you went to public school, you certainly had to get You walk around afraid of

getting measles? No? No, And I understand that what the lockdown left would say, it's oh, but there's not a lot of measles out there, and everything goes yeah, but that's because people who get the shot don't get measles. It's because it works. That's how we got to this place. So on an individual basis, yes, you don't really have to worry. And yes, on an individual basis, or if you if you look at the number breakthrough infections are

not substantial enough to continue to perpetuate this. So it is a reasonable cost to incur to have breakthrough infections that the vaccinated in order to get more people who are willing to get the shot to go back to life. Faster. But here's the other problem that they won't really talk to you about, and they won't say it. The left is not willing, the Democrats, the Biden administration is not

willing to let this go. For those of you who don't ever want to get vaccinated, I know there are a lot of you, and there's a sound argument, especially for those who are infected or at low risk, why should I get You want to get vaccinated, go get vaccent. Why should I have to get vaccinated? You know that this goes right to the heart of the issue. They're not going to just let it go, not under this Biden administration. So this fight will continue on in that way.

If they really wanted people though to get this they get this shot and get it over with, they would say, okay, if you at the shot, you'll go. But then they lose control because a lot of people who won't get the shot will say, well, I've been vaccinated, and that would happen. I'm telling you, I think that on balance, it would be better if those people. It would be better if people believe that they had their normal lives back.

It'd also be more scientific and more reasonable to have the normal lives back post vaccination, and then we can deal with Okay, if you don't want to get shot, let's see what ends up happening. I think a lot of I think it's greatly overstated that we have to worry about people from this virus who aren't in the high risk category. That's really what this comes down to. You know, if we get ninety percent of seniors sixty five and over vaccinated, this thing is done. For all

intents and purposes. We should not even thinking about this anymore. It's like the flu. It's manageable. We go about our lives. That's a reasonable perspective on this, instead of we have the fauciite insanity which they're always gonna keep moving the goal post. It's never gonna end, folks, unless we make it in
