It's Cultural Appropriation Month, which means it's time to honor the victims of rape and incest. Today's guest is a survivor of incest and rape whose parents were going to have him aborted, but decided not to. Dr. Thomas Mann-McLeiser, CEO of Leiser Pharmaceuticals and his assistant, Al Borschen, explains why.
00:01:16.000I know that many of our clients are upset about the Roe vs. Wade overturning, but I have good news.
00:01:21.000If you've taken any of the vaccinations or boosters recommended by celebrities or other people on the internet, having a baby is going to be the least of your concerns, I assure you.
00:01:33.000For those of you that are worried you can still get pregnant, we have a brand new product just for you.
00:03:59.000We're gonna have a very, very big show today, and remember, if we're thrown off of YouTube, you can catch us on Rumble, anywhere you find podcasts, and of course, check us out on Mug Club, on The Blaze, and, you know, subscribe!
00:09:12.000We'll be getting to the BTS visit to the White House a little bit later in the show, but since we missed AAPI Heritage Month, which ended yesterday... Sadly.
00:11:58.000And I kind of wanted to do something a little different, like toss in, because I like the Lumineers, so I wanted to toss in like one of the original guys who's a fan of the show.
00:12:08.000So I don't know why he's not in the band.
00:12:10.000I'm going to guess conservative, but I don't know.
00:20:01.000Which I have done and will continue to do.
00:20:04.000My job as President is not to Not only nominate highly qualified individuals for that institution, but to give them the space they need to do their job.
00:20:14.000I'm not going to interfere with their critically important work.
00:20:24.000Chair Powell and other leaders of the Fed have noted at this moment they have a laser focus on addressing inflation, just like I am.
00:20:32.000And with a larger complement of board members now confirmed, I know we'll use those tools and monetary policy to address the rising prices for the American people.
00:21:07.000But the other two points he outlines in his op-ed were equally horrific.
00:21:13.000The second one was make things affordable by boosting capacity and production.
00:21:17.000So everybody is saying that right now the supply chain issues are part of the problem and that's the reason we have Some of the issues with higher prices, the economy is opening back up and we could never have foreseen that the economy was going to open up even though when I ran for president I said we'll open up the economy.
00:21:32.000And then, to come out and blame oil and gas prices on only Putin, when those things were going up in the first day in office, he got rid of the Keystone Pipeline, he approved Nord Stream 2, and he's done everything that he can to make it harder on American companies to produce more oil because he wants to go green.
00:21:47.000He released energy, or some oil reserves, globally.
00:21:50.000By the way, that accounted for, I think, two days worth of consumption in the United States, so that's obviously going to fix the problem for people.
00:22:02.000But in case you were worried, he also is making sure that we approve tax credits for clean energy, which will obviously solve this problem tomorrow as well, right?
00:22:12.000So that's step two of his plan to fight inflation.
00:22:31.000Because everybody's like, oh, that's a lot of money.
00:22:33.000The CBO actually says that after this next year, it's going down to $1 trillion deficit, right?
00:22:39.000Dave, if you had $1,000 in debt last year, you spent $1,000 more than you made, and then this year you only spent $500 more than you made, would that be a win?
00:23:42.000Yeah, the COVID-sponsored deficit that we had because we printed money and acted like nothing was going to happen that was bad for the economy after doing that.
00:23:49.000But don't worry, we reduced it to about the same level as it has been at our other peak highs, but next year we're going to be at a new record high for normal times outside of COVID, and that's part three.
00:24:02.000He also wants to, and I'll read the quote, end the outrageous unfairness in the tax code that allows a billionaire to pay lower rates than a teacher or firefighter.
00:24:21.000And by the way, the reason that this happens, if you guys don't know this, it's because most people that are in the billionaire class don't make their money from a paycheck.
00:24:28.000They make it from risking their finances in a business or an investment where they could lose every single thing or they could make some money.
00:24:36.000And if they do, they pay a lower rate because we want them to do that.
00:24:39.000You are at zero risk unless you get fired of losing your paycheck.
00:24:42.000There's no risk and so therefore you pay a higher income tax rate.
00:24:46.000That's what they do every single time Bernie Sanders says those things.
00:24:48.000And take a look at this other quote from Biden because I think this is really one of the game changers here.
00:24:53.000He says in relation to the monthly job creation, he wants you to get a different understanding
00:26:59.000These are strong things compared to other countries who are doing worse.
00:27:01.000And I'm like, Are you looking at the guys predicting a recession saying that every time that this has happened in the last 40 years we've seen a recession within the next two years?
00:27:08.000I think Larry Summers said that recently on those talk shows.
00:27:12.000Are you looking at the record high budget deficit that we will have other than the two coronavirus years?
00:27:43.000But then he pivots to blaming everybody else and deflecting responsibility because at the end of his statement he said, I've done all I can.
00:29:27.000And it is a great honor to be invited to the White House today to discuss the important issues of anti-Asian hate crimes Today is the last day of the AANHPI Heritage Month.
00:29:41.000We're here today to celebrate the meaning of the AANHPI community.
00:29:45.000It's like a Beatles cover band just walked into the fly contraption.
00:31:27.000As Noah Pollack points out, quote, the Biden administration is defending anti-Asian racial discrimination in university admissions in a case before the Supreme Court in case you wanted to compare substance versus PR.
00:31:50.000But honestly, I don't think I don't think Tucker understands the power of BTS.
00:31:55.000Yeah, I saw this dude at the Times Square station was about to push an old Korean lady in front of a train and Then Dynamite started playing and now he's volunteering at a soup kitchen.
00:32:09.000Well, I mean, and they also forgot that they took time out of their busy schedule to go and visit an old man who's senile in an old folks home.
00:33:53.000I mean, not like you look alike, but you're all... There's seven of you, and you're all dressed like Lex Friedman, so... I'm Francisco Longhorn.
00:36:51.000Well, people always show that idea that when Barack said he'd like to be in a bunker somewhere just controlling you, you know, but it's not like he's controlling the president.
00:37:01.000It's more like an episode of Impractical Jokers.
00:38:44.000I actually did like him at one point on the Ben Stiller Show and NewsRadio, but a couple weeks ago, once again, the world-renowned funny guy and superstar, I want to say Andy Dick, Oh, somehow he missed the story and I found it the other day.
00:38:58.000Arrested for sexual battery at a campsite.
00:39:02.000Yeah, the whole thing was caught on live stream.
00:40:04.000He needs help and he's surrounded himself with yes-men that are like Jersey Shore type people that are just like, yeah, keep doing this crappy stuff you're doing right now.
00:43:29.000Andy Dick, Phil Hartman married a woman who had a lot of mental health issues and one of the rules was don't, you know, give her drugs, all this stuff.
00:43:36.000Andy Dick took her out from what we, I understand, and got her just loaded up on cocaine and everything.
00:45:08.000It's just a shame that this PSA is only coming out now because a former Oklahoma middle school teacher probably could have benefited from something like that.
00:45:16.000An arrest warrant has been issued for 28-year-old Ivy Renew.
00:52:05.000Huge heart I meant huge which is probably why she died now anyway so the Uvalde police interview yesterday I want to get into this guys I know it's a little bit serious but I think it's important that we have to bring this up The Uvalde Police Department, they are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation.
00:52:26.000This comes after DPS Director Stephen McGraw called out the school district's police chief Pete Arredondo, is that correct?
00:56:05.000Well, the one guy that needs to take crap for it is the guy who was in charge at the scene, and he's no longer taking questions from anybody or cooperating as of this moment.
00:57:17.000She did prop the door open with a rock, but when she ran back inside to grab her phone to call 911, she came back and saw the gunman.
00:57:26.000I don't know if she saw the gun, but she did hear guys from across the street saying that he had a gun.
00:57:32.000She kicks the rock out from the door and slams the door, but it doesn't lock.
00:57:38.000And so there was actually a quote here, and I just wanted to read that because I made a huge deal out of that because I was very pissed off about somebody leaving a door propped open and leading to potentially a very chaotic, terrible event.
00:58:05.000The last week of her life would have been hell.
00:58:07.000Because everybody would have been saying, this person is the reason, along with maybe a couple of other people that they're trying to blame for this, that these people are the reason it was this bad.
00:58:16.000The police chief takes some responsibility, obviously.
00:58:18.000He was in charge of the situation, right?
00:58:20.000So you can point the finger at him and say, he screwed up.
00:58:45.000And now investigators are trying to look into why the door didn't lock.
00:58:49.000So a little bit more information coming up.
00:58:51.000I don't think we're really going to ever know fully what happened until we get a complete investigation.
00:58:57.000I know that sounds redundant, but there's just been so much that they've said happened that didn't happen or that they were a little bit off by.
00:59:32.000Whatever happened, this should be The biggest blueprint to make sure a tragedy like this never happens again, whatever we decide as a nation.
01:01:33.000No, there was a special Border Patrol team, I think, that they were potentially waiting for, or that ended up showing up, and it was only three people, but I don't know, man.
01:01:43.000I see him in that position, and Garrett, your point is right.
01:01:47.000That is absolutely 100% his job, and I hate it because you're seeing a person there, right, who made a bad decision in the heat of the moment, but that's exactly why they're in that position, and if you can't do that, That's fine.
01:02:54.000And if we focused more on actually to serve and protect and less on making them do a bunch of BS, I think that more of this would be avoidable.
01:03:04.000If everything wasn't about a cash game, it would be avoidable.
01:03:08.000And if we didn't make knee-jerk reactions, I think this... A lot of things would be a lot better.
01:03:13.000All these policies that we put in place after these events that happen, I think are a lot of times misguided.
01:03:20.000Well, and with the last two years, with the wonderful amount of respect people have had for officers and everything else, you know, it's... Back the Blue has been the mantra!
01:03:30.000It's like, okay, you got a young Hispanic male, okay, well, what do I do?
01:03:35.000You know, it's terrifying now, and there just has to be some kind of change to all of this if we want to protect our children.
01:03:45.000What a massive, massive show of why you should protect yourself, why you should carry, why you should train, why you should prepare for situations, because the police are not always going to do the right thing.
01:04:11.000I'm saying this is worse, but you've got instances where this happens, and when there's no protection in these places, there's zero people.
01:04:20.000People always use churches as soft targets, too, and I'm like, yeah, most of the time there are armed police officers in plain clothes in those churches.
01:05:34.000You're taking someone who I would love to meet as a 15-year-old kid three years ago before all this stuff happened, and an 18-year-old mass shooter now.
01:05:43.000I'd love to see the difference of what the last few years, like the toll that that took on him alone.
01:05:48.000I'd like to know what he was watching, see his history, what he was doing, what led him to this.
01:05:53.000You know, he was a kid too, and I'm not excusing him, but what changed him?
01:05:58.000He was a human being, what made him snap?
01:06:34.000Go for the things that can have the best result now.
01:06:36.000It's like Biden saying, well, I'm going to give clean energy credits.
01:06:39.000Okay, maybe in 10 years then we'll have the problem solved, but between now and then it's going to be hell and gas prices are going to be really high and the economy is going to suck because of it.
01:06:52.000We haven't improved a whole heck of a lot, right?
01:06:54.000But we don't look at the things that could actually prevent this and say, look, until we get a better grip on the policies that will help make changes in society, how about we just make sure that there are people armed at the campus?
01:07:06.000So if somebody wants to come there and do harm, they will have bullets flying at them for a change instead of kids dodging them in the hallway and throwing cell phones.
01:08:13.000I think that's why people get nervous.
01:08:15.000Democrats want to take all of your guns, and so that's why most people are like, I don't want to talk to you because I know exactly where you're going to go.
01:08:21.000Well, most people are just looking for something that makes sense, not taking away the Second Amendment.
01:08:27.000That's what most people want, but you can't even have that conversation, Dave, like you were saying, because they'll go, oh, well, you just think there should be other rules, and then eventually it's just going to be taking away guns, and it's like, no, look.
01:08:37.000Darren, I don't know if you had this, but I've heard a lot of people say that kids used to have guns in their pickup truck on gun racks back in the 60s and 50s at schools, and we had no or very few mass shootings ever in schools.
01:09:17.000Not to say everybody in those areas are all perfect people, but there is a sense of moral There is an idea of what everybody should do and how everybody should treat each other and stuff like that, and like a base for everybody's belief.
01:09:35.000They have family, there's something about the kind of rural, that's a hard fucking word, rural areas that you're more tight-knit, you know?
01:09:47.000It's not strangers around you, so you do care.
01:09:52.000In urban areas, but when I was a kid in Detroit, only the criminals had guns.
01:09:56.000You had to prove that you were a business owner and you transported large sums of cash where you could carry just between the bank and your shop.
01:10:12.000But when you get out into the rural parts of the state, you know, people had their trucks.
01:10:16.000Well, I think that's part of the issue is the Internet has caused an immaturity.
01:10:20.000You know, I mean, there's there's certainly a difference, I think, between an 18 year old, even of my age, and I'm 40 next week, like, you know, versus early birthday.
01:10:48.000One of the best ways to deal with tragedy, and Dave, you've helped me see this a little bit more because you take some dark situations and you make them funny, right?
01:10:57.000Laughter, you can either, and there's a range of emotions, but most of the time it's you can cry or you can laugh.
01:11:02.000That's why people will break out in laughter at a funeral when somebody says something even mildly funny, because it's a way to release that built up kind of emotion.
01:11:10.000And so, I know comedians are still going out on the road, and we talked about your date on June 17th, but you've got another one coming up as well.
01:12:11.000Before we leave though, I want to tell everybody, the show that I'm doing, Friday Night Tights on the NerdRodic channel, we're having Alex Jones on our 200th episode this Friday.
01:12:20.000Are you gonna talk about all the things he's gotten right that sounded ludicrous when he said them?
01:12:23.000We're gonna see what happens, so it's gonna be crazy.
