Episode 50: A Special Message From Lisa

information possible. I mean, we weren't hearing stories about people surviving COVID, we weren't hearing stories about what the true fatality rate was. We're just hearing fear. And so I wanted to create a space where we can have honest conversations that maybe you don't get in other places like in TV or what you read in the news. And I wanted to provide an opportunity to bring on experts, to bring on people who are really interesting, to bring on people who have great insight and some of the

big things that are going on in our country. And you know, we live in this era of censorship. I mean, you look at what the left is trying to do, you look at the media is trying to do, You look at what big tech is trying to do. I mean, look at how much they try to shut down information about COVID. There's a time where you couldn't even say that COVID likely came from the Wuhan lab. You couldn't say that. You would get censored. Big tech would censor you.

Twitter could kick you off, YouTube could shut down and take down your video. The media would call you a conspiracy theorist. Even the same thing on vaccines, Look, we've got vaccines that were produced in record time. Right, most vaccines have five, five to ten years of safety data. These have less than a year. But we can't ask questions what kind of world is that? How do you

get to the truth and that sort of environment. And it's not just the left, it's what we've got is we've got government, We've got the people in charge pushing this. The media comes in and it just pushes that prop aganda, pushes that group to think, and then big tech comes in and censors anyone that dare raises questions. So I think this podcast The Truth with Lisa Booth is so important because what we are doing is having those conversations

they don't want us to have. We're getting to the truth in an era where they're trying to change their truth. They're trying to rewrite what what words mean. I mean, the CDC changed the definition of what it means to be vaccinated. How insane is that? You've got the media telling us that girls could be boys and boys can be girls. We live in a crazy world. So that's why I wanted to do this podcast, and we've done some incredible things with it. I mean, my god, I've

been able to interview President Trump twice. President Trump, he was my first guest. How cool is that? The legendary John Voit, legendary actor who was incredibly nice. I I so enjoyed that conversation with him, and he had so much wisdom and kindness and just such an interesting conversation we had with him. I recently interviewed Larry the Cable Guy. I learned a lot from him, you know, just talking about could his persona could Larry the Cable Guy? Could

that that blue collar stick? Could that work? Now in this era of wokeness and progressivism, I've been able to interview people like Maximo Averis and talk about communism being in America soil, American soil, someone who escaped communism, telling us to be careful because communism has infected all of our institutions. That was such a powerful conversation I was able to have with him. I've interviewed Tucker Carlson, the King of Cable Knew, someone who I deeply, deeply respect.

I think he's the best in the business. He's so smart. That was incredible to me to be able to interview someone like him. I've been able to interview doctors throughout COVID as well, to get you the truth about that the things that you can't hear necessarily on TV or elsewhere in the media. I talked to Dr Pierre Corey about I ever metten. I talked about vaccines, truthful information about vaccines with Dr Martin Colder. If he gave us

a really unbiased, objective viewpoint answered all my questions. I think I talked to him for like over an hour, and he was kind enough to take the time to bring us the truth, to bring us the information that

we needed to hear. I gotta talk to Dr Scott Atlas, who fearlessly has taken on people like Dr Fauci, Dr Deborah Burks, just really exposing the COVID Task Force for for being really worthless and for bringing us to the truth about COVID as well the things they didn't they didn't tell us how damaging lockdowns truly were to society. Also got to talk to j DR J Baticharia about Omicron as well. We had the first post interview with Betsy of Bas since leaving UH the White House's Education Secretary.

I mean, just so many incredible We've talked to athletes as well, like Jonathan Isaac. I mean, just so many incredible interviews, and it's been such an honor to get to the truth with you, to dig in on some of these critical issues. What really happened on January six

with Julie Kelly. I mean, this has been so much fun, and it's been such an honor to be on this journey with you, to learn with you, to talk to some of these incredible people who I deeply respect, who have great insight, who are so smart, and to learn from them. And so I just wanted to let you know that this podcast is continuing. It's just going to be continuing with a different network in a few weeks, So just you know, sit tight, stay tuned, don't unsubscribe.

You'll get an update when the next episode is out. So we are going to be re launching in a few weeks. So the podcast is not ending, it's not seeing ever, See you next time and see you soon. And we're probably gonna be going to twice a week, so that's going to be exciting as well, to give you a little bit more content with more guests. So I'm super excited about that. And so for for this

week's episode, it is just a little bit different. We're gonna go through some of my favorite interviews I've done, and now they're all my favorite interviews. I've interviewed some credible people. But John, my producer, has a wife, he's got kids, he's got other things that he's doing, so I felt, you know, we'll tailor it down, you know,

narrow it down a little bit for him. But so we're gonna hear from my interview with Tucker Carlson, with President Trump, with Dr Scott Atlas, and with Maximal of Veris and again I will talk to you guys very very soon, just a few weeks from now, launching with a different network. It's going to be huge and twice a week, stay with us. Hey, everyone, Welcome to the Truth with Lisa Booth. This is my first podcast, my first episode, and I have a very very special guest.

Do you miss me at a lot of things going on? That's right, President Donald J. Trump is joining me, Mr President. So, I was thinking today about preparing for this interview, and it dawned on me that I am starting with the biggest name I could possibly get, So it's pretty much downhill from here. Well, I think you're doing so great anyway. And when you asked, I want to do it with you, I turned down a lot of people, but I want to do it with you. I just appreciate everything you've done.

You're really a professional, great professional, and people have a lot of respect for your less So thank you very much. It's an honor. You know, I've been thinking about it. You know a lot of your supporters right now, you know, we feel like no one's fighting for us in Washington, d C. You know, we're being maligned by the media. I aligned by the left. Big Tech has shut off your ability to communicate with your supporters. What's your what's your message to them right now? What do you want

to tell them? Well, it is a very unfair situation. They go after us at every level in the city, and the states go after us. You know, I wanted the federal and you know, all these Muller investigations and all of the nonsense that went on. It turned out that it was Hillary Clinton. Uh, it turned out with Russia, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia and Ukraine, and we the impeachment hoax number one and number two. And you know, you do all that and then you have the state

and local stuff they send it into them. It's a disgrace. I mean, honestly, it's a disgrace. It couldn't happen to a Democrat. And yet we keep fighting and we were I think we're very effective. We had a great election and we won and they took it away. They they it was a rigged election because as you know, we won the first one, but we did much better in the second one. So people always say, oh, what do

you mean you did better? I said, we did much better almost sevention votes and that's the votes that we know about. And it was really a terrible thing. I mean, it was really an unfair thing to the people that support us. So what's happened has been Uh, you know, people have seen some silence. But actually, if you take a look at what's happened over the last period of time, we're sending out releases, they're getting picked up much better

than any tweet. And I'm doing things having to do with putting our own platform out there that you'll be hearing about soon. But even more importantly, any anything you can tell me about that, well, I'll be telling you pretty soon. But but you know, when I put out a statement, it's much more elegant than a tweet, and I think it gets picked up better. You're seeing that we put out statements from the President, etcetera, etcetera, and

it's getting picked up by everybody. Everything you say we say. So if I endorsed somebody, because we're endorsing some very good people, and if I endorsed somebody, it gets tremendous pick up. I would almost say better than a tweet. Now it goes on Twitter, because you know, thousands of people pick it up and they put it on Twitter, and they put it on Facebook, they put it all over the place. So we're really having the voices. I think. I think it's been very big. I've only started doing

that over the last three or four weeks. But it's the voices out there. I think, maybe in a certain way, maybe as big as ever. And I've been reading the you know, the releases that you've been putting out. But you know you've mentioned earlier about sort of the control, the way that the left goes after conservatives. But it's kind of scary right now because they essentially control every

institution in the country. You know, they've got the federal government right now, they control big Tech, they control the corporations, they're basically controlling the flow of information to the American people. You know, at one point, we had the House, you know, we had the Senate, we had you in the White House. You know, why didn't we reign in big tech when we had that chance. Well, they should have done it Section two thirty. They should have done it. They didn't

do it. And now all of a sudden, the Democrats are being in their protector. You know, they were never their protector. They hated big tech. But now they have the protector because you know, they figured they're getting the advantage and big tech. But if you look at what happened at the election, Mitch McConnell should have fought you know, he did nothing. He should have fought, They would have fought. They could never have had That could never have happened

to a Democrat. At what happened to us with the presidential election, could never have happened to the Democrats. You would have had a revolution if they did. If they did, if the if the tables were turned, you would have literally had a revolution. And guys like Mitch McConnell, they don't fight. And now he's hanging by a thread. He's hanging by a three at all, not really, I don't really want to talk to him. Look, he's hanging by

a thread right now with respect to the filibuster. And if they get the filler, he's hanging on Joe Mansion, who always goes with the Democrats. Joe talks, but he ends up going with the Democrats. He's hanging by a thread. And if they get the filibuster, if they knock it out, it will be catastrophic for the Republican Party. Now there is one thing that you can do, not show up.

If the Republicans don't show up. In other words, there's no vote as I understand it, with fifty fifty, as I understand it, the vice presidential vote doesn't count in that case, so they can't get that through now. I don't even know if the Republican if the Senate knows that. If you want to know the truth, but if they don't show up, Lisa, I hear that you can't take

of a it doesn't work. So that's a I mean, they may have to do that because they can't allow if they knocked out the filibuster, they cannot allow this to happen. The things that they're they're going to attack the Second Amendment violently, which I've told everybody they're going to attack. Yeah, they're going to attack the Supreme Court. Wouldn't it be interesting? The Supreme Court has done absolutely nothing for us in terms of the election. They haven't

done what they should have done. Wouldn't it be ironic if they stacked the court? It would be rather ironic. Yeah. I mean the amount of control they want to have over the country is pretty terrify. I mean, you look at things like HR one. But also I want to talk to you about the border crisis and what's going

on there. You know, they obviously refuse to call it a border crisis, but the US is on pace right now to stop more migrants crossing the border, or more migrants crossing the border than in the last twenty years. You had immigration under control. You had to remain in Mexico policy. You're putting up a wall. You were not doing catch and release, which is something Joe Biden is doing now. So you had it handled. Is there any advice that you would like to give Joe Biden on

how he should be handling the immigration crisis right now? Well, finish the wall. Don't forget. We would delay two and a half years with litigation from the Democrats from Nancy Pelosi and Congress, and we won those cases, but we wasted two and a half years. Despite that, the wall is just about finished, just little sections of the wall. Contractors are essentially paid, and they should finish the wall. It's a very little it could you could finish it

in a month, and it's impossible that they're not. It's just crazy that they're not finished in the wall. So that's one piece of advice. And then you have to go back that week. You have to remain in Mexico. You know, Mexico and I had a very good relationship at I must say we had a great I have a lot of respect and like for the President of Mexico. They had their soldiers while we were building the wall. They had seven thousand soldiers guarding the wall, guarding our border,

and they did a very good job. I must tell you, you you know, they don't have the restrictions that we have. They did a very very good job. But we had it to a level that they say it has never been. We haven't. We got rid of all sorts of things, including catch and release, all sorts of horrible things that were that we had to live with. We got rid, and the remain in Mexico. Right now, they're remaining in the United States and they're never going to leave. And

we have no idea who these people are. But I can tell you when countries send people up, and they do send them up, when they send them up, they're not sending up their finest. Okay, they're not sending up their finest. Uh. You have some very good people coming up, but you have some really bad ones coming to, really dangerous criminals coming up, and we're allowing them to come right into our country. It's insane and it's nothing compared to what it's going to be over the coming months.

When you see it now. Enjoy it because it's much better now when you see it in two or three months, because they're just starting to come. They'll be coming up by the millions. And we have no idea I mean forgetting even about COVID and no testing, no nothing. I mean, we're trying to get rid because we came up with a vaccine, we're going to be hopefully in good shape and then not due to the future. But these people

they're not being tested nothing. But they were also as I said before, you have some very bad embres coming up and we're taking him into our country and it's insane. They're destroying our country, Lisa, they're destroying our country well, and it's happening so fast. And for those at home who don't The Remain of Mexico policy was such a smart thing because essentially what happened was Central American silent seekers. They remained in Mexico instead of coming into the United States.

Because what was happening, and you know, in Mr President, this is why you did this, which was so wise. What was happening is these individuals were coming here, passing that initial interview and then getting lost in the population of legal immigrants living here, So they're using that as an opportunity to get in and then disappear. So that was so smart that you did, and you threatened with terrorist and you've got Mesco Mexico to you know, step

up to the plate. But there's also this, so you know, in January and February, border authorities accountered more than fifteen thousand unaccompanied minors. A migrant facility in Donna, Texas was at s of its pandemic capacity this month. Are Joe Biden's immigration policies inhumane? Well, they are a you mean, and what's happened is people that are living in their countries and that's where they've been and in many cases that's where they ultimately want to go back to, if

you can believe it. But people living in their countries are coming in. And these are not just countries in South America, Latin America. These are now countries where you look and you look at the Middle East. We have Middle East owners coming in. We know nothing about them.

We have things happening that and we had it in such good control two months ago, three months ago, and then he made the statement that you want to have you want to come in and everybody just started marching up and the country has had a lot to do with it. So one of the things I did was it was impossible to bring them back to Guatemala, Honduras and San Salvador, El Salvador, San Salvador, and you couldn't bring them back. You couldn't get it back no matter what.

And what happened is I said, look how much money we paid those countries, five hundred million dollars a year. I stopped payment, and all of a sudden they took them back. In other words, we capture Ms thirteen. And if you take a look at El Salvador as an example, or or any of them, and other countries too, they wouldn't take them back. So I stopped payment. As soon as I stopped payment, they gladly took him back. Nobody's

ever done that before. Nobody ever talks about it, because you know, how simple is it, but nobody's ever done it. So I stopped paying the five hundred million a year to the three countries, the triangle as we call them. I stopped paying it. Once I stopped paying it, they said we'll take them back. They would literally round them up for me. They would round them up bring them to Honduras, bring them to bring them to Guatemala, and they would say, turn around, we're not taking them back.

Now they take them back, but now they're not going to again. So he's paying and we don't get anything for We give them a lot of money and we get nothing but disrespect. And we had it down to an absolute science. It was. It was a beautiful thing

to see and frankly, what's happened. And even Mexico, I said, look, if we don't if we don't make a deal, and if you don't help us out, we're gonna have to put tariffs on all of the products that you sell to the United States because they have a big surplus with the United States. So we're gonna have to put a terraphone. As soon as I said that they were great,

and they were great. We had a great relationship with Mexico and the other countries because they didn't want to have either tariffs imposed or they wanted to get some of the money. And and you know, and I also gave them back us but we gave them we stopped payment on all of that money that was pouring in, and all of a sudden they took the MS thirteen people back, and they took the people that we wanted out of our country back. So people don't talk about that.

They never talked about that, But that's what happened, and we never had it so good. And you know when they when they released them in our country, they go into our country, they never we never find them again. They never come back. Okay, when they never come back, a very tiny percentage comes back. They say we're gonna release you in the country and you'll come back in two years for a legal case. That's the end of them. Very few people show up. It's it's ridiculous. So we

had a thing where we keep them in Mexico. We got upheld in the courts meeting positively, so all of these people were staying in Mexico. What that did is it forced Mexico not to let them in on their northern border, so they wouldn't let them in. So we're sort of working for everybody. And then these people came alone and they just ended everything. And now they to be flowing in by the millions, already started very substantially. Nobody's ever seen it as bad as it is now.

It's really good compared to what it will be in a few months. We certainly don't see this same pressure from the media, the same sort of lies that they were telling about your immigration policies being applied to you know, the Biden administration here. But no, I wanted to ask you you've mentioned COVID early or so, you know. We it's been over years since the fifteen days to slow the spread, and Dr Fauci has drawn the ire of a lot of conservatives like me, uh and also Senator Rampaul.

We've seen a lot of his exchanges in the Senate with Dr Fauci. You know, he's flip flopped on masks. He was wrong about the travel bands. He basically told us at the beginning to not worry about COVID. Do you regret ever elevating him? Well, I didn't really elevate him. He's been there for forty years, he's been there forever, and I thought rather than firing him, you know, I listened to him, but I didn't do what he said because frankly, his record is not a good record. I

like him personally. It's actually a nice guy, is a great promoter. He's really a promoter more than anything else. And Uh, I think he's you know, I always say he's a better pitcher of a baseball than he is at what he does, because he was wrong so much. If I would have listened to him. First of all, he said no masks, and very importantly, he didn't want to have China stopped from coming in. If we would have done that, we would have had hundreds of thousands

of more deaths in our country. And if you look at what we've done, you know, we don't get fair publicity. But what we've done, we've supplied. You know, the cupboage were bare. We had nothing from the previous administration, and we got all of the gowns and all of the masks and all of the uh, if you take a look at the machinery, the equipment that you need, it's massive. We took care of everything, and we really did a great job. But we stopped so many But the big

thing that I did is the vaccine. Because the vaccine, you know, a lot of people expected we're gonna lose two point two million people, and it's going to be a number six stantially lower than that. But the big thing that I did for the world, not only is I went to the f D a I said, fellas it's over, this is going to go fast. It would have taken five years for another president, a guy like Biden would have taken five year, taken five years for the vaccine to be approved, and it would have never

been approved. I think they would have had it. It would have you know, goes from five to twelve years. I got it done in nine months, and they did not like me. I will tell you that they did not like me. In statutorily, they had to do things a certain way. They were I ended all I said, we need have Actually we got it done in nine months. I mean they disliked me so much that it was approved like two days after the election because they could.

And by the way, the only one that dislikes me more of the drug companies, because what I did with favorite nations and everything else. If Biden keeps my policies, drug prices will come way down to the lowest in the world, will be tied because the favorite nations. That means we will match the lowest price in the world, which is much lower for the exact same drug with

the exact same pill. So the drug companies that took millions of dollars of advertisements against us, against me, and you know, but I had to do what was right. Nobody else would have done. Favorite nations against the drug companies. So if they leave that in place, and I did other things like transparency and other things, but you know, the people, I think I know the people love it. The problem is they won't see it for a little while. If they allowed my policies to stay, we'll have tied

for the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world. It'll be great. But Faucci has been so wrong, so as Burkes. They've been so wrong. And if I would have listened to them and then they went to the other extreme, like the entire country should lock up, I didn't go for that, and you know, it just wasn't for me. I didn't go for that. And if you look, you know I allowed governors like Rhonda Santis, who has done a great job, and in texas As they've done a

really good job, and uh in South Dakota. But many many place is I allowed them to keep open if they want, if they want to know, the ones that shut down are the ones that are doing the worst. You look at New York, you look at California, the ones that shut down are the ones that the states that have done the worst. It's sort of amazing, to be honest, if you look at it, but they've done really terribly. They've ruined their economies, they've ruined their states,

and then numbers aren't better. In fact, the numbers are worse than the ones that have been much more open. All right, Mr President, I know you've got I don't want to take up much more of your time. I know you've got a busy day, but it is such an honor to talk to you. You're welcome here anytime. I would love to have you back on the podcast, and it is beyond an honor to have you as my very first guest on this podcast. So I just want to thank you for taking the time. Thank you,

and Lisa on behalf of a lot of people. Thank you for everything. Your voice has been incredible, it's been strong, and you're definitely not afraid, and that's something that we need. So we need more of that. And it's to do your first your first show, and you're gonna have many. You're gonna do very well because you're somebody that people respect greatly. Thank you very much, Lisa, Thank you, sir, that means the world coming from you, I really appreciate it.

I hope you enjoyed that with President Trump. We're going to take a quick commercial break and then back with my interview with Tucker Carlson on the other side. This is episode eighteen with my colleague and I think the smartest person on television, the great Tucker Carlson. You're probably subject to the most criticism in the country in terms of as being a journalist. Why do you think that is? Oh, I don't. I mean, you know, because I'm in the way.

I guess I don't have perspective on it. I mean, I'm I'm very against the Internet. You know. I try not to spend any time on the Internet if I can help it. I think it's disgusting, you know, you know, I mean, I'm really thrilled that, you know, we can get up to the moment weather updates, but like, overall, the internet has been like the worst thing that ever happened to the world. And clearly and um so I'm just not on it that much. I never go go myself,

I would never do that. And and more broadly, I'm I'm not interested like truly and I'm not just saying this, I mean it, Ask anyone who lives around me. I'm not interested in in the opinions of people I don't respect. I'm deeply interested in the people I love and care about and their opinions. If my wife looks at me cross side it, you know, it brings me to my knees. I mean, I really care what the people I love to think very much, and I will immediately change my

behavior if they tell me too. But like somebody at the Daily Beast, I don't, you know, why would I care what they think? I really don't. I mean, and I mean that, oh, you're a Nazi, you're a what you know, you quoted Martin Luther King, So you're a white supremacist. Okay, you know it's this is so dumb, like why do I care? So it doesn't have any effect on me at all, like literally none, and so it's like to me, it's like it's not even happening.

I'm gonna say what I think is true. If I say something that's cruel or unfair, you know that people I respect will tell me immediately and I I'll apologize and stop doing it. But like the criticism of people who you know, work for Jeff Bezos and want to defend the existing order like I don't give a ship

at all, and I really don't either. You know, we've seen probably one of the biggest transfers of wealth over the past year, and you know, the shuttering of small businesses which are more decentralized in the centralized power with large corporations, as well as obviously the government growing larger. H in addition to that, you know, where where does that head? And what does that mean for a country, you know, both economically and just as a nation at large.

But what about racism? What about racism? What about transgender rights? I mean, all of the debates that are sort of forced on us from above, racism, oh shut up, transgender right, you know, it's it's like nine people. All of them are recover for the real debates, which are mostly about economics, not not exclusively, but the big ones are about like the role of the central bank. And in a normal country, that's what you would be debating because that that really

does matter. But we're not having that debate at all. And yeah, you're seeing a complete transformation of the U. S economy complete two. And this has been a middle class country literally middle class country. The majority of people fall into the you know, as determined by the Labor Department. But in the income range that we call middle class, the majority were middle class. Two fifteen, the middle class becomes a minority in the country becomes and this has

accelerated this trend way more lopsided. Small number of people control a larger percentage of the assets, and that makes the country really unstable, not just this country, in any country. That's how Venezuela went from this kind of nice place I went there as a kid to you know, this hellhole. They're eating zoo animals and you know, Maduro's in charge, Like because that concentration of wealth in a democracy provokes a response, and it provokes radical populism and they break everything.

So like, that's a really bad trend. It's one of the worst possible trends. But we don't even discuss it. And why don't we discuss it because the people who control the conversation, you know, who control the tech companies and the and the TV networks, I don't want to have that conversation because they're on the winning end of it. So Trump said something he once Trump stunt super reflective

as you know. But he did say something I never forgot, which is, you know, the one thing that people don't like the system, our system doesn't like in this country's economic populist. And they really don't. You know that We've never had since Teddy Roosevelt. We have not had a president including Trump by the way, um, who is an economic populist. But most people kind of like the basic

ideas of economic populism. So what does that tell you if for a hundred years people don't get the one thing they want, maybe the system isn't very responsive to the public. Maybe it's not really a democracy, you know what I mean? No, I mean it makes sense. And you know, of course, everything ultimately is about, you know, control, and that's why obviously they want larger corporations and government control and socialism and things of that nature, because it

empowers the people in charge for real. Last question of this, this is something that you encourage people that you know, get married, have kids. Why Why is having a strong family unit almost counterculture? Now? Well, because it runs contrary

to corporate interests. I mean, feminism is just like a pure corporate propaganda, you know, telling And I have three daughters, so I think about this a lot, but like telling girls that somehow more virtuous and fulfilling and meaningful to work for some soulless corporation in the HR department of marketing, marketing, whatever the funk that is marketing, uh, than it is to raise your own children. Like who thought of that first? Personal It's like so ridiculous. Anyway, this is this is

the Ryl Sandberg wrote a whole book on this. She and a lot of people like her have been making this case for fifty years that you're just you're gonna be a lot happier if you work for some big company than if you have a personal life. And it's such a lie that they can only maintain it with like maximum hysteria. You know, men are terrible. You don't want a man, right, okay? And you know having a man and having a family, having little kids you have

to deal with makes you a less reliable employee. So of course they're going to say that the amazing thing is we believe that this is a liberation movement. You're so liberated you get to, you know, commute to midtown sitting r meetings. That's not like that's liberation. So the truth is like you know, getting married, having someone who you love and loves you back, and who is loyal to you and you're loyal to you know, like the happiest thing in life having children? Are you kidding? It's

the most meaningful thing you can do. It's not the easiest, it's not always the most fun, but it's it's certainly the most rewarding. It's the thing that you know, it's all that matters really in my opinion, And so like people are like, oh, well, you know it matters. What really matters is I don't know, going to sat Barts or having more sex partners really do They don't really think that makes you happy. Now, It's like absurd, It's

totally absurd, you know. I tell her, I think back before I became afraid to the time at work, I m PBS or just you know, in the past thirty years, as in television, where I've worked for twenty six years, I would always tell the women on it because it's like heavily women, because they're amazing producers and they're like incredibly hard working, like in a way just candidly that a lot of men aren't. You know, people like to hire women. That's true because they're like awesome them, you know,

can you do this? Absolutely? And they do it. It's crazy and so but the problem is that companies take advantage of women, and women don't kind of complain about it because they're so dutiful. These are generalizations, but they're

generally true. And so I would always take the women on our staff aside and be like, you know, you're so awesome and you're great, but like, you know, don't forget that this is just a TV show and in the end, you know, you want to live out your life with like someone who really loves you, and like if you want children, you should have them, and don't let your loyalty to this job, you know, convince you to miss your own life, like take time for your

personal life. I would always say that. Now I'm like afraid so I get fired for saying that again. I don't know what would happen. I don't say that anymore, but I always did because I meant it, And I wish a woman would say that to America. You know, it's a lie working for City Bank or you do you think City Bank cares about you know, you know, who cares about you? Like your husband would care about your kids, would care of you, your dogs care about you. City Bank does not care of about you. So Fox

City Bank, that's how I feel about it. Yeah, I

mean I do. I totally agree with you. And this is something I've been grappling with over the past year of you know, I've put so much emphasis on work before and you know, wanting to look towards having a family and find the right person and get married and do that whole thing, because it's almost as if society we've redirected people away from things that actually have meaning in life and purpose in life, like religion, like families, and directed it towards things that are completely empty and

unfulfilling and bring unhappiness and sadness. It's twisted. Yeah, but you get to go to Burning Man for a week, so it's all worth it, you know, And you know, you get your little nappod in the Google break room and like, you know, you get free score bars, so you're you're you're good, You're very psyched, and you can order in lunch and the company will pay for it. Like if those are your rewards or you make three hundred thousand a year, Wow, that'll make you happier three

million or thirty million a year. I mean, it's it's all such a lie. And and I mean I can say because I'm one of the few people I know who's like, you know, I ran out of money at one point how to sell my house with fork and then I made a lot of money, and so I've been kind of both ends. And I can tell you know, debt is bad, being poor is hard. Not having enough money is hard. But making more than you need does not make you happy. It just doesn't. That's a lie.

And I mean, I think we all sort of know that, but let me just say it again. That's a lie. What makes you happy are your relationships or your commitments to other people, not your random relationships, like your deep relationships, the one that's that you sacrifice for the ones you're connected to for life. The person will be buried next to what that matters, and nobody says it. I don't understand why, but you know, as noted, I just don't care.

So I'm going to because why wouldn't I know? I think it's important, which is why you know, I wanted to bring it up, because you know, I do think we're turning young people towards things that are completely meaningless and empty, and social media, of course draws people inside and away from those interpersonal relationships, which is the basis and foundation of happiness in society. Anything else you want to leave my listeners with before we go, well, just one,

it's just on this topic. I can't control myself. I just had this conversation with my wife yesterday, so it's just like the top of mind, but we're talking about, you know, happiness and unhappiness or whatever. And I thought, and I thought this before, but it really struck me. Ester. It's like, I don't think I've ever been unhappy in my life except because of self pity. I honestly don't think I have. I mean, I haven't had a ton of you know, bad things happen to me. I've had

a really happen nice life, easy life, really. But the times where I've been unhappy, it's been one because I felt sorry for myself. One d you know, poor me, you know what I mean. And I thought, well, what is the root of self pity? And of course it's narcissism, you know, It's it's thinking about it's obsessing over yourself, and that that really is the root of unhappiness, and so anything that pulls you deeper in to yourself. And by the way, I would say self knowledge is really important,

and that's a different category. Understanding who you are and what you want, what you're good at, Like those are key qualities. Absolutely, it's key skills that you need to master. But self obsession is a different thing. Narcissism is a different thing. And you know, get out of yourself. I mean, just do whatever you can to get out of yourself. Not even for moral reasons, so I think those apply,

but for practical reasons. You'll be happier the less you think about yourself, Like stop googling yourself, stop taking your fucking self piece, like get off your phone, talk to other people, worry about them. You'll be way happier if you do that. And this is like so obvious. I'm embarrassed to say it, but it just struck me yesterday, like just in me. You know, when I think about myself, I become unhappy. It's true, I think, and I think

it's true for everybody. Well, I actually had accidentally left my phone at home when I went away for a weekend in the Keys, and it was like one of the best weekends I've had because I was completely connected it I'm saying, but it was really it was sad. It made me really sad about what dominance or phones have on our lives. I was so happy, I was so in the moment, just truly enjoying things in a way that you don't when you're checking work emails or

on this or that, and it. I mean, it's almost like, I think we'd all be a lot happier without you know, these cell phones, without social media, all these things that take us away from the real moments in life and you know, those relationships and the things that really matter and happiness. Yeah, I'm not going to recommend Ted Kaczynski's second book, the one who Wrote from Prison, because that

would be too radical for your listeners. But but let me just but I just want to get it out there for those who are interested, you know, maybe check it out. But um, I would say, yeah, technology, we have not we have not grappled with the effects of it. I mean, we had the we had the industrial Revolution, and it caused you know, political revolutions, it caused Marxism, you know, around the world, and now we've had this digital revolution. We're pretending that like, oh, everything is kind

of the same. No, no, no, no, no, there are consequences of this are um are are yet to be visible, but they're going to be really, they're gonna be profound. I would say, obviously, did to make another obvious point, which is my specialty? No, that's how your specialty. Uh, Tucker. I really appreciate you making the time for my podcast. It means a lot, and it was thank you for having I'm the biggest Tucker Carlson fan. I hope you guys are too quick. Commercial break, and then back with

my interview with Maximolaveris on the other side. I love this episode. It was episode seven with Maximo Alveries. He fled communist Cuba to come to America and he warns us about how communism has infiltrated all of our institutions. Listen. So, when I was thinking about all these concerns that honestly come to mind to me every single day, I'm constantly worried about the direction or country is heading, constantly feeling like communism is at our doorstep right here in America.

So in thinking about all this and thinking about who to have on the show, was a guest. Maximo Avaris came to mind. You all at home might remember him from the Republican National Convention, and he gave an incredibly emotional speech talking about his journey, talking about escaping, fleeing communist Cuba and coming to America at age thirteen. He has had a tremendously successful career in the oil industry. He is the founder and heads Sunshine Gasoline. So he

is the epitome of the American dream. And if there is anyone who knows how quickly a country can lose its freedom, it's Maximo. So that's what we're gonna talk to him about today. Maximo, thanks so much for coming on the Truth with Lisa Booth. It's such an honor to talk to you today about freedom. And we're also neighbors. So I just I actually just like left New York City to to move to Florida for the primary reason of wanting to come to a free state. Welcome, thank you,

thank you. Sorry, I'm in Miami. I love it. Uh So Maximo at the RNC convention, and you know, you talked about your story. You fled Cuba at the age of as part of Operation Pedro Pan. What do you remember about Cuba, Well, I remember what's revidly about Cuba, and a lot of the things that you know amazes me. People did not know that Cuba in the fifties was pretty much another state of our great United States of America. Uh. We're an independent country, of course, but we enjoyed the

same standard of living. Our currency was at the same value of the American dollar. It's a matter of fact, the Cuban peso circulated as much as the dollar. We had all of the benefits that you have in the United States. Just to give you an idea, when General Motors would put out the cars to the mark let's say, let's say in October September, a month before they were already sent to Cuba, where a lot of American people will go to Cuba by an automobile right around, send

it in the ferry and not pay the taxes. So you could buy a Chevrolet or the Forward or any vehicles just about for the less that you could buy in the United States. Because you said the taxes. Cuba was what it is at the time in the fifties, similar to what it is Las Vegas today. People tourism, flourish, people went there to have a good time. As a matter of fact, you could just you know, fly to Cuba in less than an hour goal and stay the weekend in hotels just as luxurious as the ones in

Miami and the ones in New York. So that's the cube that I remember. I also remember our education, which he was really impacted. And this is the biggest impact that we had when we lost our country. I remember how my mom, when I didn't behave, used to threaten me that if I didn't behave the next day, I would not be allowed to go to school. That was instant, because oh my lord, I couldn't miss school. As a matter of fact, I don't remember what ever missing school

one day. I remember going to school when I had a fever and we had a stomach ache. I wouldn't tell my mom because I was afraid I was going to be left at home. And that is the things that we remember that all of a sudden, from one day to the next, everything changed. My school was confiscated, all the private property was taken away. People were getting killed against a wall. They were running trials in mass trials because they didn't have enough time in the day

to execute people. So you go to trial at nine o'clock in the morning, you get convicted at ten at eleven o'clock against the wall, no appeals, nothing. Our system was pretty much the same as the one we have here in the United States, and all of a sudden that change. I remember crying and being upset because as Castle takes over, my friends were marching in the streets. Did you and our revolutionary kids a moment that wouldn't let me do that? And I remember, as I want

to be with my friends, these are my neighbors. This is the same kids to go to my school. Thank god, Mom and Dad knew because they understood communism because many years before they migrated to Cue are running away from Spain. So I have that in my blood because not only I learned from Mom and dad, which when you're young, you don't seem to pay much attention to that, but

then it happened to me. Also it happened to them, and it happened to everybody who has ever come to this country looking for one thing, which is called freedom. And you know why I'm so sad today because I saw this coming. I not only said it in that speech at the convention. What I've been saying this before. I started saying that when all of a sudden we had a low passing us in our country, that you couldn't say the prayer in school, that's the beginning. That's

how they do. I saw it when when you will be offended because you were called a name. I saw it when when you have to be politically correct. I saw these things coming and every time there's a shooting, how they want to take your guns away. I saw it when when even the Catholic people say nothing against abortion. But this is something that really hurts because very few people, I for one, who had never imagined that this country

would be vulnerable to communism. But long the whole, if you go back in history and you hear the speech that Nikita Krushchev said, I think it was nineteen at the United Nations. By the way, Nikita Kruschev, for those of you who may not know, it's the equivalent of putting today in Russia. And he had visited the Fidel Castro in Cuba, and then he went and gave a speech at the United Nations. And in that speech he says, one day the United States of America will be communists

and we will not even have a war. We will infiltrate their education, will infiltrate your society, will infiltrate the youth. And I want to play this clip for the audience from your RNC convention, and then um, I want to ask you a question after it. Let's play this. I have seen people like this big for I've seen movements like this before. I've seen ideas like this before, and I am here to tell you we cannot let them

take over our country. I heard the promises of Fidel Castro, and I can never forget all those who grew up around me, who looked like me, who suffered and starved and died because they believe those empty promises. They swallowed the communist poison pill. Sir, as we're listening to earlier, you're talking about communism coming to hear on the American soil. As we just heard your RNC convention, you had talked about how people in Cuba had swallowed the communist poison pill.

Have Americans swallowed the communist poison pill? Not only they have swallowed, they digesting it. Listen to the media. They're no longer objective. You can tell how much they hate this country. Look at our our academia. Our kids are not being did in doctrinated. They are thought that America is a bad country. There were a bunch of racists, that we're bad people and we'll have to pay back.

If this country was racist, I wouldn't be here. If this country was a racist country, most of us willn't be here because even some people in your family came from another country. This country was made of immigrants. That we have racist people in this country, of course we do. Do we have bad people, yes we do. Do we have bad teachers, yes we do. Do we have bad

police people, yes we do. But con'mpling the country for that because we have a justice system that will penalize you and punish you if you are a bad person, if you are a racist, But don't don't make our would then believe that we have to pay back because America is a bad country. And this is what it's so sad. Whenever we make a donation, most people who make donations try to find out where is that money going,

Who are you helping? What is the American Cancer Society, or whether it's your church, or whether it's a politician. You have much money they're sending into black lives matter, and people don't want to understand that these three ladies to control this company are bragging about Marcist learninism, their communists. They tell you that, and nobody understands what that means.

And then you have people who are supposed to be role models to our kids who tell you, I'm afraid when I left the house in the morning because I happened to be black. Really, are you afraid that you're making three million dollars in this racist country for shooting the basketball? Isn't that sad? And then when you have a black person to tell you, ay this in this our problem is ours. What is the thirteen year old kid doing out in the streets at two o'clock in

the morning with a gun? Was mom and dad. The police officer didn't go there to kill that kid. The police officer went there because somebody called made a call in distress, somebody who's being robbed or hurt, and the police officer went there. It just happens there was a bad police officer made a mistake. Okay, that's fine, but that kid is not a hero. That whole lump is not a hero. How can you, hi, dare you? How can you give somebody's family million dollars before the trial.

I think from the pressment of the country trying to influence a trial, the congress woman influence and trial. Just think about dot That is all communism, quick commercial break back on the other side, So I loved being able to interview Dr Scott Atlas. He really uncovered how much

government failed us throughout COVID. He put Dr Burke's Dr Faucci on blast, really exposing their weaknesses and how moronic they are to be perfectly honest, and also got into all the failures with things like lockdowns when the data showed otherwise. I hope you liked this one too with Dr Scott Atlas. This was episode thirty nine. You talk about how the human cost of lockdowns was never discussed by the task task Force and ignored by Dr five

and Dr Burkes. Why was that ignored? I mean you would think that their job would be to take the totality of the situation into a out. That's right. I mean there was a gross what I call a gross failure of morality in the public health leadership when you're leading public health interventions. What they did was they considered one and only one illness. Stopping COVID nineteen cases at all costs. To me, that's just a gross failure. That's

not what appropriate public health policy is. Public health policy must take into account the totality of impact of health from the policy itself. You can stop all cases of COVID if you killed everybody for instance. Okay, of course this is ludicrous. I'm just pointing out something sort of to the absurd extreme. The point of a public health policy is to take an account also what you're doing

to people. And we see from the data that they You know, there's a study from UH in June, from Rand Institute and USC that shows that the the lockdowns didn't just fail. The lockdowns increased the dusk. The earlier the lockdowns were put on, the more deaths occurred. When bess, we're falling and lockdowns were implemented, that's increased. And this is analysis of forty three countries and in all of

the states in the United States. I think it's a highly important paper to read from June, and so yes, it was a gross failure. In fact, this is why you can't We had the wrong people advising UH policy. Don't forget Dr Burke's was the task Force coordinator, so that means she was the official voice and head of

the medical policy. She wrote all of the policy advice to all the governors that were the official policy of the White House, the task Force, and she visited dozens of states, and you know, with those visits all these public health officials. I visited one state, Florida. Unfortunately, the

lockdowns were implemented. They succeeded the Burke Spouchy lockdowns were successfully transmitted to the governors who implemented them throughout most of the country throughout the entire year of and they failed. They failed to stop the spread, they failed to protect the elderly, and they destroyed families. And I've said this many times, but it's so important because this is the biggest failure of public health policy and modern history. Well yeah, I mean I think it's the you know that the

biggest failure of the media. I mean, it's just I don't think people really realize we've just had a complete reshaping of American society throughout COVID, from the role of the federal government and our lives to the role of the media, place loss of loss and trust of institutions. I mean there's just been a complete and total societal breakdown,

and I don't think that's been fully discovered yet. You talk about too, like another big aspect of this was just getting kids back to school, right, these low risk kids, of allowing them to live their lives. And you talk about like, even in the presence of actual data, that people like Fauci, Berkes and Redfield were so resistant to

getting these kids back in school. Talk about that, sure, well, I mean, I distinctly remember, of course, one of the uh one of the earliest Task Force meetings that I went to, which was I think, you know, mid mid August, and the Vice President who was administratively running the Task Force, had wanted me to talk about the risk to children these are these schools opening. And I went through the data. In fact, I had brought with me more than a dozen papers in my briefcase, and I pulled them out

and I went through. I cited the data from all over the world on the extremely low risk to healthy children, the extremely low risk of transmission from children, and the documented lack of high risk to teachers in schools from all over the world. And I went through a little you know, let's just say five to ten minutes on this, and there was silence from Dr Burke's, silence from Dr Fauci. There was no refutation of what I said. They didn't

cite a single study. And the Vice President turned to Dr Redfield and said, well, what do you think, Bob, and Redfield leaned back, thought for a second. He said, let's just say the jury is still out. That was the end of the discussion. I mean, you know, this is no scientific uh knowledge about the data, nothing to refute what I said. And then you know that this sort of was very confusing to the public because and harmful the advice. As we know, the schools in the

United States were closed in the fall term. All the pure nations in Western Europe opened the schools. We were the outlier. The American educational system was a complete, really immoral abuse of children by shutting down schools, and they had impact. The isolation was extraordinarily harmful. I mean, the way I think of it, there's nothing more important that

a society does and educate its children. Yet we chose out of fear and ignorance, and in my view it was too with this uh miss misinappropriate idea of protecting adults by using children, sacrificing children even though the children, healthy children, did not have a significant risk from COVID and that's been proven, that was known then. It's not new information, by the way, So you know this is really it's almost unspeakable what was done. Well, you know

they're doing that now with vaccines as well. You know, even children who aren't at risk. They're essentially, you know, trying to to push kids to to get them, which sort of defies logic. In my book, Um, so I

thought you'd get a kick out of this. So Political Political Playbook wrote about how Faucy was at a Jonathan Carl book party, and it notes that he kept taking the mask on and off for cockers who are trying to take pictures of them with it out his mask on, and then when asked about it, he said, I just decided that if anyone came up to me that I didn't know, I would put my mask on. Doesn't that summarize the theater surrounding masks and also explain Fauci a lot. Well,

let's hits with this. Anybody who thinks that that makes sense is I mean, you know, I don't want to be rude, but I mean That is just ludicrous. I mean, what what is the what is the basis of putting on a mask because you don't know people. If it's just to uh have an image, I think that it's very revealing. I mean, let's put it this way. It was not uncommon. I heard the people on the task force, the doctors on the task force, refer to people in

the media, their media friends by the first name. Okay, this is you know, when I was speaking about the data. The result of that was not talking back to me. The result of that was going outside to their friends and the media and using ad hominum attack and distorting my words. So this was sort of all about the image, the power. I don't know what was going on. I hate to ascribe motive, but there was a gross failure there, and I think this is really uh, we can never

let this happen again. We cannot have people who aren't critical thinkers, uh, you know, in charge of a crisis. I mean that this should goes without saying, but I mean this was just a shocking failure. And and you know, they got what they wanted, which were the lockdowns, and the lockdowns failed. So now we're seeing this or welly in attempt to rewrite history, blaming people like me who were opposed to what was implemented for the failure of

what was implemented. You know, this is just another kind of thing that shows I mean, it's important for people to understand who are listening. I'm sorry I'm going on, but when you see people who are issuing erratic statements, who are obviously just saying, oh, it's the science, but they don't know the science, or they're doing things that are contrary to science, this is how you decide who

to trust. You must be a critical thinker. Now, the burden is on individuals, okay, all of us to become more involved in our own critical thinking, in our own beliefs, in short of our own filter here to decide what is credible what isn't. It's more of an effort but to trust. The blind trust in people who are deemed experts should be gone. That should be gone. We've learned

that now. Uh, it's not you know, I don't know if I said this, but you know, we all need to be critical thinkers here to make the best decisions for ourselves and our family. Well, and our MASK policy has always been done because I mean, who thinks it's a good idea to wear one when you enter a restaurant and then you take it off when you're seated next to people, or to wear it on a flight, as we currently do, and then take it off when you're next to people. I mean, none of it has

ever made sense, yet they continues to be pushed. I mean, what is the data and the science say about masks? Do they work? Okay? So you know in terms of widespread population mass. Uh, there are several good studies out there, and people should look at the good studies. The best study, the randomized controlled trial of Denmark shows uh. They took more than six thousand people. They took people with masks

and people without masks. They tested them by blood test for not just stars too, but other eleven other viruses, and they found that people that wear masks do not have a significantly less incidents of stars to infection. Neither do they have a less lesser incidence of any of

the other eleven viruses. By the way, and this corroborates what was known in the randomized trials about influenza that was published by the CDC in May that mass general population masks do not prevent the spread of infection or the becoming infect that the recipient side of it in influenza. Why is that relevant because influenza is the same size as roughly as the stars to virus, which is smaller than the poor size on the mask. Smaller the virus is smaller in the hole in the mask. Secondly, we

look at the other studies, look at that Denmark. The next study to look at is the University of Louisville did a very detailed analysis of all the states and their conclusions were that mask wearing mask mandates did not stop the spread of infection, and mask wearing did not stop the spread of infection in states. And then you look at the next UH paper that came out, which is the study that received a lot of attention on

Bangladesh villages. And then you know, people were you know, this is after a year and a half, they're still desperately trying to find something that validates masked widespread mask using, and they look at this Bangladesh study which was a study where villagers were instruct some villagers some villages were instructed to wear masks, other villages were not instruct that the wear masks and what the authors reported was an eleven percent decrease in symptomatic COVID in villages that were

instructed to wear mass, not in the mass wears necessarily. Just so they said there was a small decrease in symptomatic COVID. And when you look at the data and the studies, not only was that effect small, but the only people they had to reduce incidence of symptomatic COVID were people in a single age bracket fifty and above. People forty to fifty didn't have a decrease, People thirty

to forty didn't have a decrease in symptomatic COVID. So you have to wonder did the people who were older, were they more cautious, did they avoid groups that they do other things that might have reduced it. The second part of this that was the surgical mass site. The regular mass of people wear, by the way, had zero

significance in terms of its reduction. So the study was lauded in the lay media by these mask uh MASK advocates as proving mass work, but the in fact it was supportive that mass do not have a significant impact on limiting a spread of COVID, and so enough in the infection. So I mean, you know, you know, there's this new study that came out recently, and basically that's just a meta analysis of a bunch of studies in which they in this article admitted that the studies themselves

were poor research. Yet somehow this is now the title. So people are desperate, Okay, masks. I'm not for forbidding masks, just like I'm not for forbidding wearing a copper bracelet for arthritis. If you want to wear a mask, if you want to wear a six masks, that's fine, but it's very dangerous to say what Dr Redfield said under Oath. He said two things, and this is in my book Under Oath. He said, where if everybody wore a mask,

we'd get rid of the pandemic in six to eight weeks. Okay, that's just completely nonsense, and it's been proven all over the world, including societies where people are wearing masks. Secondly, he said he held up a mask and infamously said, this mask is more protective than a vaccine. Now, why is that a problem. First of all, it's it's completely irrational and bizarre. Second of all, it's dangerous if you think that an old person whose high risk is more

protected by wearing a mask. You're endangering them if they think that, and so, uh, you know, this is very dangerous. The misstatements coming out of some of our most trusted public health leaders are shocking. We saw it publicly. I saw it inside the task Force, as I note multiple times multiple conversations in the book. And I think again, we've destroyed the trust that is necessary for people when a crisis arises, and so we have a long way to dig out from that hole that was created by

these people in public health leadership. Dor Scott Outlas just bringing the fire and bringing the truth on the truth with Lisa Booth.
