hey guys welcome to relatable happy tuesday hope everyone has had a wonderful day a wonderful week
00:00:14.900
so far if you're watching on youtube my hair is kind of looking rough today i just you understand
00:00:20.860
those of you who are moms who are parents you don't always have time to do your hair texturizing
00:00:27.220
spray dry shampoo goes a long way in my house but sometimes i just don't have time i don't have time
00:00:34.580
to do my hair in the morning and so it goes up in this type of bun type clip things i'm really happy
00:00:41.160
that clips are back in action or back on trend because it makes my life really easy all right
00:00:48.620
that's not what we're talking about today i just wanted to give a little disclaimer for my friends
00:00:53.180
who are watching on youtube today we are actually going to talk about the news we haven't really
00:00:57.640
talked about the news all that much in a while we did talk about the virginia election yesterday
00:01:01.840
which is happening today if you're listening to this and you haven't gone out to vote yet in virginia
00:01:06.480
if you are a republican or if you're an independent or maybe even a democrat who's voting republican you
00:01:11.380
need to go out and vote get your friends to go out and vote this is not an election you want to sit out
00:01:15.840
on this is not the time for apathy people go vote for glenn youngkin go listen to yesterday's episode
00:01:22.260
if you want to hear more about that i've also got an article out for world magazine today talking
00:01:27.140
about why parents of k through 12 students are overwhelmingly supporting glenn youngkin and if
00:01:33.560
you are a parent then you absolutely need to vote republican and i explain why in my article today so make
00:01:42.400
sure that you go and read that at world.org i think is the link we'll link it in the description to this
00:01:49.660
to this episode so you don't have to memorize the link all right today though we are going to talk
00:01:55.160
about joe biden we have not focused on good old joe president biden uh in a while and today we are
00:02:03.560
finally going to do that because it seems that some journalists and maybe biden voters in general
00:02:10.780
are confused as to why so many people are upset with the president of the united states now if you are a
00:02:18.160
the fact that other people don't realize why so many of us are frustrated may be a surprise to you
00:02:26.880
because it's so obvious to us because most of us operate in our bubbles at least for the most part
00:02:32.500
and if you're only watching if you're on the left if you're only watching msnbc and cnn you may have
00:02:38.880
no idea that objectively joe biden and his administration are doing a bad job you see conservatives don't really
00:02:45.260
have the privilege of living in a bubble because all of the mainstream institutions and cultural
00:02:51.180
and mostly political megaphones are liberal so all the major corporations all of big tech most of the
00:02:59.240
mainstream media are on the left academia public education they are dominated by leftist ideology even
00:03:06.940
the global institutions the un the who they are on the left side of the ideological aisle so even if
00:03:14.700
a conservative only watches fox news only listens to relatable is only around republican voters they still
00:03:22.300
have a pretty good understanding of the left-wing perspectives on particular issues that is why i think
00:03:31.820
that the right has more of a desire to debate issues than at least some people on the left do because
00:03:40.460
not because we necessarily want to but because we're forced to have an understanding of what the left
00:03:47.260
thinks and how they see the world i mean we see it displayed in most of our entertainment uh whereas
00:03:53.660
really the left is hardly ever forced to interact with conservative ideas unless they choose to so all of
00:04:00.780
that said uh the left seems a little bit shocked by the fact that much of the country really does not
00:04:09.100
want does not want to uh support president biden and doesn't support president biden now the absolute shock
00:04:18.540
of the left uh that they're expressing is a bit of a surprise to me like i understand that they might be
00:04:24.620
taken aback for a second but they seem utterly disgusted and surprised and even knowing that people
00:04:31.660
have a tendency to insulate you know to insulate ourselves from information and perspectives that
00:04:36.460
challenge our biases it's still shocking to me because uh because the media has been at least a little
00:04:44.860
bit honest when we go back to the afghanistan debacle like you had some new york times articles some
00:04:51.420
washington post articles some journalists in the press pool who were actually pressing joe biden on
00:04:58.540
his evacuation of afghanistan and trying to hold him accountable for how terribly it went and so it's a
00:05:08.060
little bit hard for me to understand how the left can be this surprised by something like let's go
00:05:15.420
brandon journalists blue check marks on twitter they opened my eyes to not just how surprised but how
00:05:22.780
offended and apparently disturbed many are that millions of americans do not like joe biden we're
00:05:29.740
going to talk about the reasons why so many people don't like joe biden and we're going to talk about
00:05:34.940
some of the gaps and some of the things he said that has forced americans even some americans who have
00:05:40.140
voted who voted for him to lose confidence in him i mean many people obviously who don't like him
00:05:46.060
voted for trump but there are lots of people who don't like joe biden who didn't vote for trump who
00:05:51.900
maybe didn't vote for either candidate or who maybe even voted for biden like i said um there's an article
00:05:57.900
in the la times that i actually think sums up what's going on with this whole let's go brandon thing
00:06:03.820
pretty well and i'll explain again what that is if you have missed it thus far it is written by
00:06:09.580
someone that i don't usually agree with and the title of the column is let's go brandon is what
00:06:16.300
passes for oratory now be worried this is by jonah goldberg who is known as kind of this anti-trump
00:06:23.900
conservative though i would say like many in that camp you often find him not always but you often
00:06:30.140
find him at least recently siding with the left it seems like to me for the sake of just siding against
00:06:36.300
the right but he explains i think pretty well both sides of the let's go brandon debacle um and if you
00:06:43.900
don't know i'll i'll explain it so f joe biden except the actual word uh is a chant in sports stadiums
00:06:53.100
across the country we've been hearing it at football games since the beginning of the fall i mean almost
00:06:57.820
whole stadium saying f joe biden and then the chant also broke out a couple months ago at a nascar race
00:07:05.020
and a reporter was interviewing the winner of a race of the race whose name is brandon in front of
00:07:11.180
the chanting crowd and the reporter said oh they're saying let's go brandon now we don't know if this
00:07:17.340
nbc reporter really thought they were saying let's go brandon or if she was just trying to cover up for
00:07:22.540
profanity we don't know but let's go brandon has turned into this euphemism for f joe biden and it's
00:07:29.260
really even gotten you know it's gotten further removed than that because people who are not
00:07:35.500
thinking about the vulgar profane phrase are just using it to mean you know what people used to say
00:07:42.380
when obama was president thanks obama thanks a lot so you know they're saying joe biden is the worst
00:07:48.860
it's a funny mostly innocuous way for people to say that they're mad about biden's policies now i have
00:07:59.180
said that because i know it is a euphemism for f joe biden it's not something that i say as an expression
00:08:06.780
of course i'll say let's go brandon when i'm explaining it to you but i try not to say it as an expression
00:08:12.140
now some people see it no different as saying dang or shoot or something like that or they see it as
00:08:17.100
totally innocuous but because i know what it stands for as a christian and because i know that
00:08:21.580
we are only to say that which is good for building up or to let no corrupting talk come out of our
00:08:28.220
mouths but only to say that which is good for building up that it may give grace to those who
00:08:33.340
hear i try not to say let's go brandon i did say it once on instagram when i was mad that jen saki made
00:08:39.180
fun of the supply chain issues knowing that i mean we have hospitals that can't get the supplies that they
00:08:43.820
need because of those supply chain issues she made light of it and said oh it's just delayed
00:08:47.740
treadmills that did elicit a let's go brandon from me however i do think as a general rule christian
00:08:53.500
shouldn't be saying that i know there are some people who disagree with me on that i can also
00:08:58.620
acknowledge that it's a funny development like it's funny how it happened and i am not going to
00:09:04.460
even though i'm not going to say i'm not going to clutch my pearls about it and goldberg in this article
00:09:08.620
for the la times he acknowledges the funny development of the phrase and he also points
00:09:13.020
out how ridiculous it is that so many people are so angry about this he points out the story that a
00:09:19.580
lot of you have probably heard that a southwest pilot was uh accused by an ap reporter of saying
00:09:26.060
let's go brandon over the intercom on a flight people freaked out about that on twitter including this
00:09:33.260
ap reporter uh twitter lit up with liberals just absolutely freaking out about this like it was
00:09:39.260
the worst thing to happen to the republic since january 6th i mean they're really really upset about
00:09:45.340
it not all liberals but there are some reactions that jonah goldberg lists in his article so he says
00:09:52.300
this quote let's go brandon has become uh so this is not jonah goldberg saying this he is quoting
00:09:58.700
someone else saying this let's go brandon has become the mag version of sig heil one lawyer
00:10:04.380
declared on twitter i mean whoa whoa that escalated so quickly liberal radio host dean obadala tweeted
00:10:13.500
southwest airlines is now the pro january 6 terrorist attack airlines according to a yale professor a pilot
00:10:21.340
saying let's go brandon is comparable to saying long live isis like what let's just stop there for
00:10:28.540
a record those are three examples that jonah goldberg provided us in his article let's just
00:10:34.060
stop there like are you seeing what's happening a light-hearted right-wing meme is now nazi terrorist
00:10:40.540
terminology you know who has the most power in a country uh by looking at who cannot take a joke
00:10:49.020
how ironic that the people who can't stand their regime being criticized are calling the people that
00:10:55.900
that that launched the criticism nazis that's amazing that's really amazing also you know how
00:11:02.540
people on the left uh have loved calling everyone they disagree with racist for the past several years
00:11:09.900
and now people just like they don't care anymore they just don't care if they're called a racist or a
00:11:14.620
white supremacist because it's just so common and they launched that criticism at people who said
00:11:21.580
something that has no correlation whatsoever to race or white supremacy it's just that that insult
00:11:27.020
just doesn't stick anymore because so many things are called racist that have no racial animus attached
00:11:33.420
to them and now we are seeing the same thing with the word terrorist so pro-lifers are terrorists uh
00:11:40.060
people against vaccine mandates and passports are terrorists evangelicals are terrorists but people
00:11:46.140
looting rioting burning down stores businesses and federal property for half of 2020 in the name of
00:11:52.940
so-called racial justice they're definitely not terrorists so we're seeing the degradation of this
00:11:58.380
word because of its overuse and because of its misuse right now by leftists um if people who say
00:12:04.540
let's go brandon are terrorists and nazis you're not making the people who use that phrase sound bad you're
00:12:11.740
actually making terrorism and nazism seem not that bad you're belittling the seriousness of those
00:12:18.140
things by attaching it to something that is really really petty and and that just like indiscriminately
00:12:24.780
calling people you disagree with racist has consequences because it robs us of our ability
00:12:30.460
to accurately communicate the severity of real terrorism and real nazism which have existed and do
00:12:37.500
exist so bastardizing words and concepts for the sake of destroying your political opponents makes
00:12:43.740
the world worse and makes it a world place because uh makes the world a worse place because we can't
00:12:49.340
accurately uh we can't accurately communicate ideas in a way that makes sense in a way that demonstrates
00:12:57.660
that something is really bad so goldberg continues in his article saying when trump was president there was no
00:13:07.340
shortage of mockery and expletives hurled his way robert de niro got a standing ovation for saying
00:13:13.660
f trump at the tony awards uh at the at the tony awards uh representative rashida talib used similar salty
00:13:24.300
language without liberals taking to their fainting couches if i remember correctly she said that they um that
00:13:33.180
they are going to impeach the mf i will say um and you know people cheered when she was at that event
00:13:42.140
and said that and then also this is me not jonah goldberg talking at the immis in 2016 jill soloway
00:13:48.380
she's the creator of the show transparent she compared trump to hitler she was praised for it
00:13:53.420
samantha b the so-called comedian she called ivanka trump the c-word on her show a woman by the name of
00:14:02.460
julie briskman flicked off trump's motorcade in 2019 as she was bicycling past it she went viral on twitter
00:14:09.140
she was praised for it she did lose her job the company said that this violates our obscenity on social
00:14:15.540
media rules she sued uh for that and then she got elected for the louden county board of supervisors
00:14:22.420
wow but there's a lot of brain worms in louden county like what's going on there um i don't remember
00:14:28.040
any conversation back then on the left about how we need to elevate the discourse because of these
00:14:33.940
incidents uh because the excuse was that we heard that trump had brought the discourse so low had
00:14:39.920
brought us down into the mud and they were just fighting fire with fire but jonah goldberg also
00:14:45.620
mentions that eminem you know i think he said like f bush or something in the early 2000s i mean people
00:14:52.360
were also comparing george bush to a nazi and saying terrible things to him because of their
00:14:57.680
disagreement with his decisions in regards to the war on terror and so it's just not it's just not true
00:15:04.260
that it was trump that brought us down into the mud we have been in the mud social media probably
00:15:08.920
exacerbated it i'm not saying uh that trump necessarily elevated the discourse either but it's
00:15:16.320
false to say and it's irresponsible it's immature to say that you're calling people uh mf or the c word
00:15:24.960
or whatever it is because of someone else's because of the president's alleged behavior like you're
00:15:31.180
responsible for your own words so now these same people don't have the right to turn around and clutch
00:15:36.640
their pearls about a euphemism let's go brandon like if that's your argument if your argument really
00:15:42.160
is that this is just just such debased discourse and before these maga loving people we just had
00:15:50.460
such elevated eloquent conversations and we never launched ad hominem attacks like come on if that is
00:15:57.120
your argument then you weren't just asleep while trump was president but you were also asleep during
00:16:03.220
joe biden's campaign like joe biden according to this new standard that i guess the left has uh for our
00:16:11.700
discourse joe biden has brought us down too in his campaign in december 2019 he called a retired
00:16:18.460
farmer in iowa fat and a d word liar uh this farmer asked him a question about his son's dealings
00:16:27.040
with ukraine at a campaign event there and the guy i mean joe biden fat shamed him i think this was the
00:16:35.860
same circumstance where he challenged him to a push-up contest what and then called him a
00:16:41.680
d liar at a campaign event in new hampshire in february of 2020 a young woman asked biden
00:16:48.540
how he could manage to win a national election after finishing fourth in the iowa caucus that's
00:16:54.040
a great question he asked her if she'd ever been to a caucus and she said yes and he responded no
00:16:59.480
you haven't you're a lying dog-faced pony soldier not exactly crass but what what like that's such a rude
00:17:08.020
response to a legitimate question i bet this girl is probably a liberal too and he's calling her a liar
00:17:12.880
for saying that she's been to a caucus why in march 2020 a detroit factory worker who accused
00:17:19.500
biden of trying to infringe upon our second amendment rights again a totally legitimate complaint for
00:17:24.500
really any democratic contender at this point biden looked at him pointed at him and said you're full
00:17:30.640
of s word i'm not saying i'm not saying that these are the biggest deals in the world to me of course
00:17:37.400
i don't like it but i'm not clutching my pearls i just want to acknowledge that if trump had said any
00:17:42.340
of those things we would have been hearing about them on cable news for weeks like the we would be
00:17:48.500
hearing the darkness that trump carries with him and the disrespect he shows towards honest americans
00:17:54.640
trying to hold him accountable it's so dangerous it's unprecedented and also also let's acknowledge
00:18:03.320
that these are far more vulgar and hateful biden's uh biden's statements that i just listed far more
00:18:11.620
vulgar and hateful than most people's intentions when they're saying let's go brand it which again
00:18:17.040
like it doesn't actually have any profanity in it sure the heart behind it you could say is
00:18:21.800
disrespectful but it's nazi like it's january 6 terroristic like it's isis like come on come on
00:18:29.180
now i will acknowledge something else that goldberg touches on in this article
00:18:35.080
that people on the right would be upset if this were the other way around um we were upset by the
00:18:44.440
things said about trump publicly by influential people i would be uncomfortable to be honest i would
00:18:51.100
be uncomfortable if a pilot said something negative about trump or republicans on the intercom that's
00:18:57.800
fair like it's fair for people to be uncomfortable but also the things being said about trump were not
00:19:05.600
just silly phrases they were actual profanities not just euphemisms very often also even then was
00:19:13.420
anyone on the right calling the people who were saying f trump isis or nazis like if if someone if a
00:19:20.760
pilot got on the air and said something about i don't know what did people even say about trump
00:19:28.680
trump is bad i don't like trump whatever that's how the left memes if that was the meme that came
00:19:35.020
across the intercom when i was on a flight i wouldn't like it i would not like so that is true
00:19:40.100
would i think that he was a terrorist what that he's gonna fly our airplane and into a building because
00:19:46.520
he doesn't like donald trump no because i am not a psychopath like we may not have liked conservatives
00:19:53.740
may not have liked the things that were said about trump that is true but i don't remember any
00:19:59.740
conservatives saying those who criticize donald trump or even call him names were like islamic
00:20:05.040
terrorists or were like people who rounded up jewish people and placed them in gas chambers because that
00:20:11.140
kind of reaction is psychopathic behavior that is a deranged reaction to let's go brandon okay
00:20:15.980
these people are very very broken it's very sad another thing i would say is that conservatives
00:20:24.280
constantly endure businesses making political statements about black lives matter not merely
00:20:29.520
the sentiment which no one disagrees with the fact that black people matter of course but the
00:20:36.280
political activism the organization represents a lot of people disagree with as well as lgbtq stuff
00:20:43.480
and the response from the left is well that's not political that's not political that's just about
00:20:48.360
justice that's just about human rights sure to you to you but millions of people don't agree with
00:20:54.160
the principles of the back of the black lives matter organization which is a self-avowed marxist
00:20:59.080
organization that said on their website that they seek to disrupt and disturb the nuclear family of mom
00:21:05.100
dad kids and look a lot of people aren't buying this lunacy that men can be women and vice versa so
00:21:12.980
any statement of support of that idea is absolutely political and ideological as a conservative i would
00:21:21.200
love corporations to be neutral i would love for them to not weigh in on things like voting laws or
00:21:27.760
political narratives about police or the election or transgender bathrooms or pride month i would love that
00:21:33.920
but they do all the time and the left applauds this even though these same companies who make
00:21:40.620
all of these virtue signaling statements do business with the chinese communist party which uses slave
00:21:47.100
labor and enslaves a million muslims in concentration camps as well as they also do business with countries
00:21:54.220
in the middle east to throw gay people off of buildings the left do not want companies though to be
00:21:59.420
neutral they want them to at least be outwardly progressive but when a company or just when
00:22:05.540
one person in a company shows politics in the other direction all of a sudden it's the worst thing in the
00:22:11.000
world that's ever happened our discourse has just been brought so low into the mud and oh my goodness
00:22:15.940
all of these secret terrorists saying let's go brandon what are we to do oh the fact is a lot of people
00:22:24.560
don't like joe biden they're not happy with him after afghanistan people saw him as incompetent and
00:22:30.720
lacking the empathy and the transparency they were promised would characterize his pregnant uh his
00:22:36.140
pregnancy his presidency i mean men can get pregnant maybe joe biden can get pregnant i don't know
00:22:41.160
but his presidency um i'm gonna get to a poll that msnbc put out that shows this in just one second
00:22:49.820
so this is according to msnbc here's a headline uh biden's job rating sinks to 42 percent in nbc news
00:23:00.560
poll a year from midterm so here's what the article says just nine months into his presidency 71 percent
00:23:08.280
of americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction the poll shows now i'm guessing that those
00:23:16.580
americans probably believe it's headed in the wrong direction for different reasons but still that's
00:23:22.340
not that's not a great indication for the leader of this country a majority of americans now disapprove
00:23:28.760
of president joe biden's job performance while half give him low marks for competence in uniting the
00:23:33.900
country according to results from the latest national nbc news poll what's more the survey finds the
00:23:39.840
seven in ten adults including almost half of democrats believe the nation is headed in the wrong
00:23:44.120
direction as well as nearly 60 percent who view biden stewardship of the economy negatively just
00:23:49.420
nine months into his presidency using gallup's historical data biden's approval rating in this
00:23:55.800
poll 42 percent is lower than any other modern first-year presidents at a similar point in time
00:24:02.140
with the key exception of donald trump so donald trump's approval ratings were even lower than this but we
00:24:11.160
were also told that biden was going to be popular across the board we already knew that donald trump
00:24:17.040
was going to be a polarizing figure i mean he lost the popular vote but this president he won the popular
00:24:26.260
vote and we were told that he was going to be uniting that he was going to bring both sides together
00:24:31.900
that he was it's not going to be red or blue america that he is going to be this moderate empathetic guy
00:24:37.820
so the fact that uh only donald trump beats him in a low approval rating at this time in his presidency
00:24:45.220
i think it's it's pretty telling and it's really gone down in particular since april so his approval
00:24:51.280
rating in april according to this nbc article was 53 percent in august it was 49 percent august is when
00:24:58.260
afghanistan happened and then by october it was 42 percent and then there was another nbc news poll and
00:25:04.920
this reporting comes from the daily caller that says an nbc news poll published sunday found that
00:25:10.860
voters considered republicans to be far more competent than democrats to address a range of
00:25:15.580
major issues the poll asked respondents to name the party they thought would do a better job
00:25:21.020
of handling specific threats and problems facing the nation the results showed that republicans enjoyed
00:25:26.680
double digit edges on border security by 27 points inflation by 24 points crime by 22 points national
00:25:36.020
security by 21 points the economy by 18 points and being effective in getting things done by 13 points
00:25:44.060
i mean that's a big deal now the only issue that these respondents thought democrats did a better job on
00:25:51.900
is climate change but the fact of the matter is that's not a high priority for most americans today
00:25:56.660
most americans who are feeling the consequences of biden's failed leadership and of the democratic
00:26:01.720
failed progressive policies and all of these major cities that are deteriorating because of these
00:26:06.980
progressive policies they're not really as concerned with climate change right now they're concerned about
00:26:12.040
keeping their family safe and being able to provide for their family those are always the things that
00:26:16.100
people are going to care about progressives can pretend that people don't care about that that they can
00:26:20.160
just defund the police and everyone will be happy but people don't like anarchy human beings don't
00:26:25.480
function well without security and without safety speaking of security let's look at some of these
00:26:31.620
let's look at some of these issues one of the biggest ones being the border so migrants were
00:26:36.740
encountered 1.7 million times at the border in the last 12 months the highest number of illegal
00:26:42.160
crossing since at least 1960 since at least 1960 this is directly because the biden administration is
00:26:50.880
incentivizing these people and is promising they pay attention to politics abroad they pay attention
00:26:57.380
to who's in charge they know democrats are at least now the party of amnesty the party that
00:27:02.880
thinks that it is inhumane to deport people for the most part and is going to be more lax on border
00:27:09.020
policy i guarantee you they watched what happened with the poor border patrol agent that was trying to do
00:27:14.860
his job on a horse and trying to guard the border against illegal haitian migrants and he got thrown
00:27:21.240
under the bus he got demonized by this administration i mean he grabbed the guy by the shirt and we were
00:27:27.300
told that he was you know treating them like slaves or like cattle or something i mean they see this kind
00:27:33.300
of thing democrats are lazy and lax and i think wicked on um on border policy here are a few things that
00:27:41.580
the biden administration has done to exacerbate this humanitarian crisis not just for the people
00:27:46.940
in the united states not just for the american citizens living at the border um many of them by
00:27:52.340
the way who are immigrants but also the women and children especially the children who are making this
00:27:59.680
trek thinking that they are going to be able to come to the united states and get all of the benefits
00:28:03.780
and privileges of living in the united states it's a very dangerous trek for them not just because of the
00:28:09.800
physical toll that it takes on a person's body but uh also because of the high risk of sexual assault
00:28:17.080
especially for young girls and trafficking drug trafficking i mean it's not good for anyone open borders
00:28:23.080
is not good for anyone it's not good for the countries that these people are emigrating from and it's not
00:28:28.980
good for the people at the border it's not good for american citizens it's not good for mexico it is bad news
00:28:34.460
all around the new york post reports this biden is spending over two billion dollars to halt border wall
00:28:43.500
construction amid migrant crisis so uh the article says president joe biden is spending at least three
00:28:51.120
million dollars a day on contractors to watch steel rust in the desert and so there is all of this
00:28:56.260
material to continue constructing the border wall that obviously we know president trump campaigned on
00:29:02.280
and it's just sitting there he purposely halted the construction of this barrier that we know would
00:29:09.980
help mitigate this crisis at least some so senate republicans found this they found um that he is
00:29:16.920
spending all of this money watching the steel just go to waste despite the ongoing crisis there
00:29:23.000
gop members of the senate subcommittee on government operations and border management released a report in
00:29:28.500
july 2021 it found that at least 20 percent of the 10 billion dollars this is our money guys taxpayer
00:29:35.160
money received by the pentagon for border wall construction has instead been spent on guarding
00:29:39.840
construction sites and terminating active construct contracts for the construction of the border wall
00:29:47.700
cnn reported biden administration canceling more border wall contracts the department of homeland
00:29:55.060
security announced that the biden administration is canceling more border wall contracts in laredo
00:29:59.640
and the rio grande valley the dhs said friday it will cancel all remaining border barrier contracts
00:30:05.780
in that laredo sector i mean you guys saw the conditions that these haitians were living in
00:30:11.200
at the border and they're saying that they're not going to do anything to make the lives and the jobs of
00:30:18.480
these border patrol agents easier they're actually going to make it so much harder i mean those people
00:30:24.600
are human too they're trying to do their job unless we forget countries sovereign countries must have
00:30:30.760
borders and to have borders you have to have border enforcement it is compassionate to enforce your
00:30:36.080
borders it's compassionate for everyone it makes prudent logical sense we've talked about the morality
00:30:41.880
and the compassion of borders and border policy in the past open borders is wicked policy it's wicked
00:30:48.780
it leads to anarchy it leads to all kinds of evils that we've already talked about many times and the
00:30:55.420
biden administration is exacerbating this this is one of the many reasons why people are upset with the
00:31:00.680
biden administration they returned to the catch and release policy so they would catch these illegal
00:31:05.480
migrants crossing the border they would release them into the interior of the united states although the
00:31:10.780
supreme court did rule in august that they had to reinstate the remain in mexico policy but the
00:31:16.540
administration has announced they'll craft a memo to rescind this effective uh the effective policy
00:31:22.240
the remain in mexico policy is an effective policy they don't want to do it overnight flights transporting
00:31:27.900
illegal um illegal migrants and their kids uh are happening from the border into the interior of the
00:31:35.180
united states and fox news reporter peter ducey asked press secretary jensaki about this in a press
00:31:44.180
conference and he said you know why are you why are you making these flights in the middle of in the
00:31:50.880
middle of the night in the dark of the night uh in you know westchester county new york to jacksonville
00:31:56.880
florida and saki said oh this is not happening in the middle of the night these are early flights
00:32:03.000
earlier than you might like to take a flight 2 30 a.m 4 a.m so it's just a very odd response you
00:32:09.400
obviously didn't want to answer it and um she's saying you know this is our responsibility and
00:32:16.680
we're not just talking about these little kids which would be problematic too like it would be
00:32:20.580
problematic if we were just flying these unaccompanied minors into the interior of the
00:32:24.820
united states what's happening to them but i mean we're also talking about like 17 year old men 15 to
00:32:30.300
17 year old men are being shipped unaccompanied to these random cities in the united states who's even
00:32:38.180
tracking any of this the new york post exclusively reported um that as many as 2 000 children and
00:32:44.600
teens have been carried on at least 21 charter flights that landed in westchester new york since
00:32:49.440
august 8th um and then there's the washington examiner who reported in may 2021 that late night
00:32:55.760
flights transporting migrant children to tennessee raised questions with lawmakers that's happening
00:33:01.480
in chattanooga and again this is also happening in new york as the new york post is reporting and then
00:33:09.720
there's this other story that people are very understandably upset about that uh this is was
00:33:16.480
originally reported by the wall street journal that this administration is considering making payments
00:33:22.160
of 450 000 to each person separated from their family at the southern border quote the payments are part of
00:33:30.640
settlement talks for several lawsuits that claim the u.s government's policies under trump left
00:33:36.420
children with lasting psychological effects according to the journal the u.s departments of justice
00:33:41.540
homeland security the health and human services are and health and human services are in talks to offer each
00:33:47.720
person who had been separated 450 000 according to the journal most families who have crossed the border are
00:33:55.420
made up of one parent and one child meaning each family would get 900 000 if the settlement were to
00:34:01.240
go through by the way a lot of these cases where these minors were separated from the adult that
00:34:06.800
accompanied them the adult was not their actual parent they were either being trafficked or this was a
00:34:11.300
smuggler that was getting paid to bring this child across the border not in all cases were these these innocent
00:34:19.220
parents separated from their children now in those cases i disagree with the separation i want true parents and
00:34:25.340
kids to stay together absolutely but 900 000 to people who aren't even citizens of this country when
00:34:32.660
we are already overspending when american citizens are struggling why is the government settling why are
00:34:39.240
they choosing to settle here that doesn't make any sense you know every other country enforces its
00:34:45.060
borders in the countries who haven't like in europe over the past few years they are dealing with very
00:34:50.220
serious and deadly repercussions due to that i mean this is insanity people actually thought that the
00:34:57.000
biden administration and democrats in charge were going to allow reparations for black americans to go
00:35:03.760
through and no no that's not obviously that's not the priority the priority is paying a form of
00:35:11.260
reparations to people who aren't even citizens of this country um another thing that people are upset
00:35:17.480
about understandably is that it seems like america is less safe now this isn't as much a federal issue
00:35:22.800
as it is a local issue but the cities who have decided to defund the police have seen an uptick
00:35:29.360
and violent crime and specifically murder and joe biden said um when he was campaigning back in july
00:35:37.300
of 2020 in a now this exclusive interview that he absolutely believes that we should cut police funds
00:35:45.440
now he has flip-flopped on this several times uh he was asked according to the new york post in august of
00:35:52.760
2020 that um he he was asked if money should be redirected away from cops and he said yes absolutely
00:36:01.360
and the charter for his alliance with bernie sanders vowed to reinvigorate community policing um and he
00:36:10.120
really aligned with the people who wanted to defund the police as far as their community policing goals
00:36:16.600
go uh but he has kind of gone back and forth on his support of police officers but he didn't get the
00:36:26.560
support of police officers in the campaign because he was so wishy-washy on this and because he seemed
00:36:31.280
to at least ostensibly support this idea of redirecting funding away from the police and if you look at the
00:36:37.740
repercussions of that it's not good the cities that have cut police budgets have not only seen
00:36:44.800
violent crime and murder rise over the past year but they're also showing a lot of hypocrisy so
00:36:50.780
forbes.com has an interesting article that talks about the 25 major cities uh that have cut police
00:36:58.720
funding in the past year uh they have also upped the budget for their own personal protection these
00:37:05.920
mayors and city officials so in chicago illinois for example the city spent 17.3 million dollars
00:37:13.800
between 2015 and 2020 to guard unnamed city officials that's as mayor lloyd lightfoot says
00:37:19.380
she opposed she's opposed defunding police while we found 400 police officer uh positions were quietly
00:37:26.340
cut during 2020 so she said that she opposed defunding the police but she cut 400 police officers i mean
00:37:32.940
chicago is riddled with violent crime the victims of which are disproportionately black men the very
00:37:39.040
people that these politicians say that they care about then if you look at san francisco california
00:37:44.420
the city spent 12.4 million dollars between uh to 2015 and 2020 to protect the mayor london breed
00:37:50.840
that's a san francisco officials promised to divest 120 million dollars from police over two years
00:37:58.680
then you've got a place like baltimore the city spent 3.6 million dollars in 2024 14 police to cover
00:38:05.800
the mayor brendan scott's um yet baltimore has eliminated about 22 million dollars from its police
00:38:13.600
budget san diego california same story denver colorado same story and then you've got oakland
00:38:20.420
california minneapolis minnesota portland oregon atlanta georgia they are reallocating funds or they have
00:38:28.060
reallocated funds away from the police in the name of caring about racial justice meanwhile they are
00:38:33.820
securing and even increasing the budgets for their own personal protection the mayor and the city
00:38:39.140
council members and city officials so people see the hypocrisy of this kind of thing they see the
00:38:45.020
deadly repercussions of defunding the police and they remember that joe biden was on that side when he
00:38:50.500
campaigned and then the thing that people are really feeling also the supply chain issues and biden's
00:38:56.340
agenda is worsening the supply chain so you can still maybe get the essentials that you need some
00:39:01.300
places are worse than others but you know where i go i go to the target in an affluent area of where i
00:39:08.740
live and there were several shelves that were empty with just normal stuff and i'm not trying to complain
00:39:14.080
my family is surviving and all of that but that matters especially for low-income people and the prices
00:39:20.420
are rising on these goods and services that working class and poor americans just can't afford and
00:39:26.340
biden's agenda is worsening this this is according to national review the administration is pushing a
00:39:32.060
one trillion dollar infrastructure bill and a reconciliation bill for which the final cost though
00:39:37.260
yet to be determined would likely be upwards of two trillion dollars the aim of these bills is to put
00:39:42.980
more money into the economy that money will fuel more demand both directly in the form of say
00:39:47.800
increased purchases of parts for electric charging stations and indirectly as child care subsidies
00:39:52.700
push consumers to spend more in other areas but that will all place extra stress on the supply chain
00:39:59.900
which is really more like a network uh heightened demand for one good can lead factories to produce
00:40:05.780
it around the clock which can in turn increase those factories energy demand this not only pushes
00:40:10.720
up energy prices but creates shortages or inflation in other goods now produced in lower quantity that in turn
00:40:19.200
will help cause even more inflation the administration's preferred policies will significantly affect the
00:40:25.960
supply side as well take trucking the administration wants a federal version of california's ab5 bill
00:40:32.260
that we've talked about that before we'll link it in the episode description would be a disaster for
00:40:37.720
everyone who is a small business owner or a freelancer they want to federalize california's ab5 and turn
00:40:43.800
more freelancers into employees with employment benefits will which will mean higher unemployment
00:40:49.220
because companies won't take on the people they have been using as contractors and freelancers
00:40:53.660
and give them those employment benefits they just won't use those services anymore
00:40:57.860
this is terrible especially for working moms who enjoy the flexibility of a freelance job
00:41:03.460
the article goes on to say however the trucking industry is mostly made up of freelance owner
00:41:08.280
operators so again if they federalize ab5 the way that this admin wants to then that's going to affect
00:41:15.940
the trucking industry which will even further strain the supply chain the supply chain problem is complex and
00:41:23.580
tied to the pandemic more than anything else to date most of the administration's policy moves are sure
00:41:29.380
to make it worse as i said we are seeing the increase of cost of many goods so a lot of places are seeing
00:41:40.300
this inflation rental cars up 43 percent over last september gas is up 42 percent versus last year used
00:41:48.560
cars up 24 percent bacon up 19 percent hotels up 18 percent beef up 18 percent pork eggs tvs all up 13 percent
00:41:58.540
kids shoes up 12 percent furniture up 11 percent new cars up 9 percent chicken up 8 percent apples up 8
00:42:05.360
restaurant prices up 5 electricity up 5 rent up 2.9 percent now maybe that doesn't really impact you
00:42:14.840
maybe you're able to you're able to afford all of the changes in those prices but a lot of people can't
00:42:21.920
we were told that this democratic administration was going to care for the poor the poor aren't doing
00:42:27.200
well right now a lot of small business owners oh not even small business owners a lot of retailers
00:42:32.460
are really struggling to hire people because of the benefits that have been put in place by
00:42:39.260
democrats who are in power a lot of people simply aren't going back to work that's not all on the
00:42:45.080
shoulders of democrats in this administration but certainly some of it is and then um smart her news
00:42:52.220
which is a it's a news outlet and a news source that i really like to follow on instagram uh they
00:42:59.160
did a post that said that this might be the most expensive thanksgiving meal in the history of the
00:43:06.580
holiday and they point out that food prices are up four percent compared to last year ten percent of
00:43:11.820
food items price uh prices uh directly relates to farming the rest is other variables like transportation
00:43:18.940
which we just touched on um the prices are rising because of increased demand pandemic related
00:43:24.800
disruptions fuel costs um labor shortages and the supply chain issues that we just talked about that
00:43:30.760
are being exacerbated by this administration and the policies that they are pushing for the price of
00:43:36.880
turkeys may reach record highs this year as producers anticipated higher demand with the return of larger
00:43:43.900
gatherings but it's not all demand of course as uh we already discussed so that's a big issue people
00:43:51.020
are feeling this in their pocketbooks people don't like to feel that in their pocketbooks the economy was
00:43:56.020
good under donald trump there was an induced economic coma because of not the pandemic but because of
00:44:03.340
democratic states pandemic policies the lockdown policies the shutting down of businesses which were not
00:44:09.380
scientific and not helpful and ruined people's lives and livelihoods yes the economy crashed during that
00:44:15.200
time but that wasn't because of donald trump donald trump wanted things to be open as safely and as securely
00:44:23.060
as they could it was the democratic politicians and the rhino politicians that shut things down and hurt the
00:44:29.160
economy there's also the problem of shutting down the keystone pipeline that's something that joe biden did
00:44:35.640
putting america last biden canceled a key permit for the 1200 mile pipeline on his first day in office
00:44:42.580
citing climate change but according to cbn news that moved that move costs thousands of u.s construction
00:44:50.800
jobs and will impact the nation's oil and gas production the pipeline was projected to deliver 35
00:44:55.860
million gallons of canadian crude to refineries in the u.s every day upon its completion but now of course
00:45:02.800
it's not going to do this now the biden administration is saying you know they're concerned about gas
00:45:09.800
prices now that we're not relying on north american oil so it is calling on opec russia and other oil
00:45:17.340
exporters um russia and other oil exporters which is collectively known as opec to increase production
00:45:24.460
um and so rather than relying on ourselves for our oil now they are relying to the middle east they're
00:45:34.340
bending a knee according to forbes.com to the oil rich middle east and none of biden's predecessors did
00:45:41.620
so while pursuing an aggressive anti-oil agenda and so it's costing us it's costing us some people are
00:45:49.460
saying oh there's greater demand for gas there's more people driving that's why the numbers are up
00:45:55.000
not entirely it's because biden decided that we are no longer going to be energy independent but we
00:46:00.860
are going to be relying on some of the most evil regimes in the world for our oil that's a huge
00:46:07.080
problem and then we've got all of his covid policy we saw what i thought was a draconian move
00:46:13.440
in cutting covid treatments to red states the biden administration had been shipping the antibody
00:46:18.720
treatments each week on an as-needed basis to places like texas and florida and then after he
00:46:24.140
made his big announcement about vaccine mandates for corporations at the beginning of september
00:46:28.840
he said that he was um or the administration after that speech said that they were going to actually
00:46:35.000
cut supply of monoclonal antibodies to places like florida and texas of course they cited equity
00:46:40.800
but it didn't make any sense to change from going from an as-needed basis to whatever arbitrary number
00:46:47.340
they decided it seemed a lot like politics because the governors of texas and florida decided that
00:46:52.620
they weren't going to go along with biden's vaccine mandate so it seemed a little punitive and that's
00:46:59.000
really scary that is very draconian of course people are very upset about the vaccine mandates
00:47:04.740
um in general and his insistence upon forcing these uh forcing these companies to enforce vaccines
00:47:17.740
and so the wall street journal says president biden's vaccine mandate for private sector businesses with
00:47:24.700
100 or more workers and details on how the requirement will work will likely be released later this week
00:47:30.940
according to people familiar with the matter this was published yesterday the labor department's
00:47:36.940
occupational safety and health administration osha has been developing the vaccine mandate under a
00:47:42.700
federal rulemaking called an emergency temporary standard employers who fall under the regulation
00:47:48.940
must develop implement and enforce a mandatory covid19 vaccination policy unless they adopt a policy
00:47:56.280
requiring employees to choose either to get vaccinated or to undergo regular covid19 testing and wear a
00:48:03.820
face covering at work the osha rules also require employers to provide pay time off so workers can
00:48:10.560
receive the covid19 vaccine employers that don't comply can face fines up to of up to roughly 13 600 a
00:48:19.320
violation the administration has said and there are states who are suing biden over this there are religious
00:48:25.320
liberty issues if you've got a sincere religious objection to for example the use of fetal cells
00:48:32.340
and the research and the development of some of these vaccines then you are being discriminated against
00:48:37.740
essentially because of your religion if you are not granted a religious exemption i mean this is taking
00:48:42.340
away the lives and livelihoods of a lot of people and while there are people and companies who are for
00:48:47.100
this there are a lot of people who aren't even people who are vaccinated even people who are very pro
00:48:51.820
vaccine even democrats are against this so this is all making him very wildly unpopular and there are
00:48:58.620
many other things that we could get to as well but these are things that are really affecting people's
00:49:03.840
everyday life they are not seeing this president of empathy this this president of um of unity that he
00:49:12.120
said that he was going to be of course he has been radical on things like abortion he has been radical on
00:49:18.220
things like gender ideology they have a new gender strategy the biden harris administration um it's this
00:49:27.200
uh international gender strategy that says that they are trying to work for the full inclusion of
00:49:34.920
women's and girls when really they are trying to rewrite what the definition of women and girls and they
00:49:42.760
also claim in this national gender strategy to be trying to advance the so-called right of abortion and so
00:49:50.320
they are very rabid and wanting to uh ensure that more babies can be aborted that's of course why
00:49:59.340
biden the biden administration is suing the state of texas because of their anti-abortion law
00:50:06.580
he has been very out front in wanting more abortions and more access to abortion i do just wonder what
00:50:14.500
the evangelicals for biden are thinking right now like all the people that claimed that he was going
00:50:21.160
to be the man of compassion he was going to bring decency back to the oval office that he was going to
00:50:26.440
care about the least of these that somehow we were going to get social racial justice look the most
00:50:31.120
vulnerable in this country are suffering right now because of democratic policies and i hate to say
00:50:36.220
i told you so but we did we did we told you this was how it was going to be and look you can be mad
00:50:42.540
at donald trump's tweets you can be mad at some of the things that he said maybe if you're on the left
00:50:47.080
you're even mad about some of his policies the fact of the matter is objectively the most so-called
00:50:52.460
marginalized people in this country were doing better economically and freedom-wise under trump than
00:50:58.820
they are under joe biden and it's directly because of joe biden's policies we told you this was going to
00:51:05.020
happen that he was coming in as this trojan horse of saying that he was going you know he's saying he
00:51:09.680
was going to be a moderate he's not a moderate he's got radicals behind him he hasn't been able
00:51:14.680
to be as radical as he's wanted to be thankfully because of the filibuster and because of some
00:51:21.280
moderate sane democrats that are in the senate um and because of the supreme court that at least has
00:51:27.440
a modicum of sanity still on it they haven't been able to pack the supreme court like they've wanted to
00:51:32.300
they haven't been able to eliminate the filibuster as they've wanted to and so we've been able to
00:51:36.600
stave off some tyranny but the man or at least the people behind him are a radical now joe biden
00:51:42.520
himself doesn't really know what's going on okay he doesn't he doesn't really know what's going on and
00:51:49.340
i don't say that to be rude like i do not want to make light of dementia there are some of you who
00:51:54.620
have lost parents and grandparents and great-grandparents from dementia it's serious okay so when i say
00:51:59.560
that he seems to be suffering mentally and that he has some characteristics that are like dementia
00:52:05.600
i am not saying that because i want to make fun of him because i want to you know make light of the
00:52:11.940
severity of that disease but the fact of the matter is he's supposed to be commander-in-chief
00:52:15.840
like he is supposed to be the leader of the free world and he he's supposed to be taken seriously
00:52:20.880
not just by americans but also by our global leaders and you can say all you want to
00:52:26.780
um about trump and about some of trump's rhetoric he was not like he was not like joe biden joe biden
00:52:34.320
is not there he was just seen sleeping at the international summit in rome that he's in there
00:52:40.220
was also this crazy rumor that he might have had this is not funny again it would be funny if it
00:52:46.200
weren't so sad and i don't this is something i'm just telling you about something that was circulating
00:52:50.340
online some of you have asked me about and you asked me if joe biden really did poop his pants
00:52:55.680
when he was meeting with the pope that is apparently the word around rome that the meeting took a long
00:53:02.960
time because he had he had a bathroom accident i really hope that's not true sincerely i hope that's
00:53:07.220
not true as much as i don't like joe biden's policies i don't want him to be a laughing stock
00:53:12.000
like i don't want him to be falling asleep on the job literally i don't want him to be losing it i don't
00:53:17.660
i don't i want him to be with it i want him to command respect i want him to demonstrate strength on
00:53:23.320
the world stage i do because i love this country i pray for him and i pray that he has wisdom and
00:53:28.920
that he has courage unfortunately i don't think that we're seeing that and i'm gonna play you a
00:53:33.140
little montage that shows just a snippet of what i'm talking about okay let me play you this little
00:53:39.820
montage of our president the leader of the free world this is just a little bit of what i'm talking
00:53:46.880
about maybe why people on both sides of the aisle have lost lost confidence in the biden
00:53:51.900
administration here's our president and i want to thank uh that fellow down under thank you very
00:53:58.220
much pal it looks like a tornado they don't call him that anymore as one computer said if you're on
00:54:04.100
the train and they say portal bridge you know you better make other plans last night i was on the
00:54:09.760
television on television i was on the telephone with 40 of all products coming into the united states
00:54:18.320
america on the west coast go through uh los angeles and uh and uh um uh um what am i doing here so the
00:54:27.040
best way to get something done if you if it holds near and dear to you that you uh um like to be able
00:54:34.020
to anyway you've seen those hundreds of people packed into a c-17 we've seen afghans falling
00:54:41.980
four days ago five days ago i mean that's not even some of the worst ones guys like that's us
00:54:50.260
being super nice that first one you might have not been able to tell he was in some kind of press
00:54:55.720
conference with boris johnson uh of the uk and also the prime minister of australia and he forgot his
00:55:05.860
name our pal down under that seems like something that you should probably know seems maybe important
00:55:12.580
um so he's just he's losing it like if you watch any of these cnn town halls like he just can't
00:55:19.700
keep it together he can't remember what he's supposed to be saying and what he's talking about
00:55:24.320
like remember when he was trying to say i think the declaration of independence he said all men are
00:55:30.600
created you know the thing i mean this has been happening for a little bit this is not the
00:55:35.580
joe biden of yesteryear super disappointing so for any of you who might be confused as to why joe
00:55:42.140
biden's ratings are so low why so many people are against him right now here are just a few of the
00:55:48.260
reasons a few of the reasons why people are not excited about a joe biden presidency i hope this
00:55:53.400
clarifies things i think let's go brandon um is a very nice way for some people to say that they
00:56:02.420
disagree with his policies which are disproportionately affecting the working class and poor americans i
00:56:07.060
thought we were supposed to care about that all right i'll see you guys back here tomorrow
