00:00:00.000The Biden administration's racial equity ideology is rooted in a racist lie.
00:00:05.000The administration continues to declare doom and gloom despite excellent news on the vaccine front, and they continue to lie about the border.
00:01:01.000Apparently, Major Biden is a career-biting criminal at this point.
00:01:05.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden's handlers continue to ensure that he doesn't have to answer any hard questions on anything.
00:01:09.000Yesterday, he was in the middle of some sort of press session, and his handlers basically were just like, yeah, we're not going to take any more questions anymore.
00:01:42.000This is the way that the United States is now run.
00:01:45.000The top levels of American government are run by people who are completely Non-transparent with you to the point where they will not tell you a full story about a dog biting people.
00:01:56.000Remember, it took like two weeks to find out that Major Biden had actually bitten someone before Major Biden was shipped off to Delaware.
00:02:01.000Now Major Biden is back and eventually just starts biting people again.
00:02:04.000And we still don't know the full story there.
00:02:05.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden won't answer any questions.
00:02:07.000All of this is just a mask for a simple fact.
00:02:09.000When it comes to the Biden administration, the Biden administration is rooted in dishonesty.
00:02:13.000They're rooted in dishonesty in that they are not transparent with the American people, but they are also rooted in dishonesty because their fundamental ideology is just a dishonest ideology.
00:02:21.000There's a tweet that came out not from the Biden administration, but is indicative of how the Biden administration thinks about policy.
00:02:27.000We've talked about the equity ideology of the Biden administration before.
00:02:30.000They've said over and over and over again that every element of this administration is going to be shot through with equity.
00:02:37.000And equity, of course, is just a euphemism for racial preference.
00:02:40.000Because the fact of the matter is that equality is about whether we all are being given access to individual rights protected by government and pre-existing government.
00:02:51.000Equity is about the idea that if two groups have unequal outcomes, this must be because of some systemic prejudice.
00:02:58.000This must be because of something in the system that is bad.
00:03:00.000And what this does is it removes individual responsibility.
00:03:03.000If you live in a free system, And you are given equal rights.
00:03:07.000Your rights are protected by the government.
00:03:09.000Like you have the right to life, you have the right to liberty, you have the right to keep and bear arms, you have the right to freedom of the press and freedom of religion.
00:03:15.000If all those rights are protected, and then you end up unsuccessful in a free country, Then the baseline notion for most rational people would be maybe your personal actions had something to do with your level of unsuccess.
00:03:26.000Maybe your choices had something to do with where you ended up.
00:03:29.000But for the left, those choices don't matter at all.
00:03:32.000Because you have to understand that in Marxist theory, virtually all human choices are shaped by the systems in which we live.
00:03:38.000That's why Marx suggested that all of the problems in Western society were created by capitalism.
00:03:42.000All we would have to do is shift the systems in which we live and this would mold a brand new humanity in which everyone would be able to succeed along the lines they saw fit without regard to the kinds of choices they were making.
00:03:54.000They would simply stop making bad choices because those bad choices are the product of the system.
00:03:58.000Now, what this does is it removes individual responsibility from people.
00:04:01.000Now, when you take this to the racial sphere, when you start suggesting that people are not responsible for their individual actions based on race, you sound like a white supremacist.
00:04:09.000And the fact is that much of the ideology of wokeism, much of the ideology of equity, sounds exactly like the ideology of David Duke.
00:04:17.000The idea that black people are incapable of making free and independent decisions and therefore any bad decision that is made by black Americans is to be attributed to the system at large.
00:04:27.000This sounds like a removal of agency from black people that is not only inappropriate, it is racist in and of itself.
00:04:32.000Because as it turns out, black people are the same as everyone, people of every other color.
00:04:37.000We are all capable of making individual decisions.
00:04:40.000And we are all responsible for the individual decisions we make.
00:04:42.000But the left's equity ideology is rooted in that fundamental lie, which is that certain types of people in America are not responsible for their personal decisions.
00:04:49.000So Eugene Gu, who is this Stanford trained doctor, and of course was a big He was a big pusher of COVID lockdown, a very woke guy.
00:05:01.000He tweeted this out the other day, and I thought that this is so indicative of how so much of the left thinks, because it is mainstream left-wing thought at this point.
00:05:09.000He tweeted out, black on Asian crimes only occur because of our system of white supremacy that strips African Americans of their economic opportunities while taking respect and dignity away from Asian Americans. Also, white people in power are experts at dividing and conquering to stay in power. So presumably he was speaking about this case that we discussed yesterday on the program in New York City, where a man beat the living hell out of an Asian woman on the street.
00:05:35.000And it turns out that this particular man happened to be a black man.
00:05:39.000And that, frankly, is not supremely surprising in New York City, because as it turns out, a disproportionate number of people who have been victimizing Asian American people are young black people.
00:05:49.000So Eugene Gu's solution to this, his explanation of this, is that black people have no agency.
00:05:53.000Black people are not capable of making decisions, you see.
00:05:56.000And because black people are not capable of making decisions, all of America's structures must be changed so as to make all outcomes equivalent.
00:06:42.000They are just as capable, as it turns out, of not beating up Asian-Americans on the street.
00:06:45.000And thus, if an individual person beats up an Asian-American, no matter the race, that person should be held fully responsible for their level of hatred.
00:06:53.000And by the way, his entire argument, Eugene Goo here, that black foundation crimes only occur because of white supremacy is utterly insane.
00:07:30.000Within a year, within a year and a half of him getting out on parole for having murdered his mother, The guy is beating up people on the streets.
00:07:40.000What exactly does that have to do with white supremacy, exactly?
00:07:43.000The answer is it has nothing to do with white supremacy.
00:07:46.000But none of that matters, because people are not responsible for their own decisions so long as they are of particular races in America, particularly victimized races in America historically.
00:07:55.000We'll get to more of this in just one second, because this is the root lie that lies at the heart of so much of the Biden administration ideology.
00:08:02.000It is a racist lie about black people being deprived of agency.
00:08:05.000It's the lie that Robin DiAngelo will tell you.
00:08:07.000It's the lie that Ibram X. Kendi will tell you.
00:08:09.000It is the lie that black people are somehow inferior and incapable of making personal decisions.
00:08:12.000And it's idiotic, it's wrong, it's disgusting, and it is vicious toward black Americans.
00:08:17.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:08:19.000First, let us talk about the fact that April is right here, and it means a lot of not-so-fun things, getting fooled, getting rained on, getting your taxes done.
00:08:27.000So, if you need a positive experience to balance all of that out, continue protecting your loved ones by getting life insurance with PolicyGenius.

00:08:43.000And you can feel great knowing your family has financial protection.
00:09:34.000The lie that certain people in America are incapable of personal decision-making.
00:09:39.000We're not talking about people who have some sort of actual disability.
00:09:42.000We are talking about simply based on your race, you are incapable of making a decision for which you can be held responsible.
00:09:47.000This is now implicit in so much of left-wing talking points.
00:09:51.000The most obvious place in which this is implicit, it's not even implicit, it's almost explicit, is the way the left will talk about voting.
00:09:57.000So right now, the left's case is that any Republican attempt to create a regimen of voter ID, where we can actually verify where you are from, or to limit, in some way, early voting, this is somehow racist.
00:10:10.000The idea, implicit here, is that somehow this is going to directly affect black people specifically.
00:10:53.000Throughout 2020, we kept hearing that Donald Trump was saying things that were untrue about voting, about voter fraud and voter irregularity.
00:10:59.000And I said, OK, well, he has to provide proof of voter fraud and voter irregularity if we are going to believe that.
00:11:36.000Because the idea was that if they didn't get their way, it must be due to America's racist systems.
00:11:40.000It's always the racist system that is depriving certain individuals of choice, even though in a free country, people are capable of the choice.
00:11:46.000So you see Stacey Abrams out there suggesting that we're seeing an onslaught on voting in this country, thanks to, for example, Georgia law.
00:11:53.000So Georgia's new law is not, it is not an onslaught on voting in this country.
00:11:58.000Georgia's new law is actually more lax on early voting than, say, New Jersey.
00:12:02.000Georgia's new law does not prevent people from voting.
00:12:05.000It does not prevent people from drinking water in line.
00:12:08.000It does not prevent people from being able to obtain a ballot.
00:12:14.000And yet the argument from the left is that it is designed to stop black people from voting because somehow black people are, what, incapable of jumping through the very basic hoop of getting an ID?
00:12:25.000Here's Stacey Abrams pushing it anyway.
00:12:29.000To have a say in the direction of our nation, in the direction of our states, and in the direction of our communities.
00:12:35.000And when democracy is undermined by laws that we have seen pass, not only in Georgia, but in Iowa, and laws that are under consideration in Arizona, in Texas, in New Hampshire, in Florida, in 43 states across this country, we are seeing an onslaught, an attack on democracy.
00:13:06.000It is all about undermining voter verification procedures.
00:13:09.000Okay, so recognize the actual agenda, which is to loosen voting procedures so that fraud actually becomes more common, and the possibility of fraud becomes more common, and ballot harvesting, which I think is one of the most nefarious things in American voting, becomes the rule of the land.
00:13:21.000But in order to push that goal, they're going to continue to foster the lie that these measures are aimed at stopping black people from voting and or black people are incapable of voting if you put these conditions in place that are equally applicable to everyone.
00:14:46.000We'll get to more on that lie in just one second.
00:14:49.000First, let's talk about the fact that if you are a solid employer, you're constantly looking to upgrade your employee base.

00:15:59.000Are these lies about Georgia's voting laws, for example?
00:16:02.000They're so prevalent that Jemele Hill, who somehow continues to fail up.
00:16:05.000She started off at ESPN, lost her job at ESPN.
00:16:08.000Now she's over at The Atlantic, which is supposed to be some sort of highfalutin intellectual magazine, which of course it is not.
00:16:15.000She has a piece titled, Sports Should Boycott Georgia.
00:16:18.000So now, because she doesn't like the law in Georgia, because it is quote unquote supposedly racist, this means that now all sports should boycott Georgia.
00:16:30.000The politicization of everything along the basis of these lies is pretty astonishing.
00:16:36.000And the attempt to craft all of American life around the lie that laws that are equal in applicability and do not victimize black Americans, actively victimize black Americans because somehow black Americans are incapable of making basic decisions.
00:16:50.000That lie is now being embedded in every area of American life.
00:16:54.000It's being embedded in corporate life.
00:17:01.000People are not responsible for their own decisions because America is such a terrible racist place.
00:17:06.000So Jamel Hills says that she now wants sports organizations to boycott the state of Georgia.
00:17:10.000She says, in the past, major sports organizations have forced other states to reconsider infringements on their citizens' rights.
00:17:15.000And that kind of pressure is sorely needed in Georgia now.
00:17:18.000Last week, Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed an election bill Joe Biden has described as Jim Crow in the 21st century, which shows you what an insane lie that is.
00:17:26.000Jim Crow explicitly created a separate system of law for black Americans and treated them as inferior.
00:19:11.000Asian Americans across the United States have been sounding the alarm about hate for years.
00:19:15.000These are not new attacks, but the incidents are unrelating.
00:19:19.000This came from Trump, that's my opinion, but it's been around.
00:19:24.000He used the world's largest bully ford to spread racism, but he's not the only one.
00:19:33.000And every single assault that goes unfettered, every time a door closes to a victim on the ground, it emboldens these horrible people who target Asian Americans.
00:19:45.000Okay, that would be the borough president of Manhattan, Gail Brewer, blaming Trump for a murderer who got out on parole beating up an Asian-American woman because people don't have any agency, you see.
00:20:02.000All of this is super ugly, but again, so much of our politics is rooted in lies, and this is just another example of politics rooted in lies.
00:20:10.000By the way, more of this politics rooted in lies When it comes to the attempt to paint America as racist and thereby to say that all non-equal outcome is due to America's white supremacy, you can see this in the Chauvin trial.
00:20:23.000So the case that is currently being made is that if Derek Chauvin is acquitted on these murder charges.
00:20:27.000That's because of deep and abiding American racism.
00:20:30.000As we'll get to in a second, that is just not the case.
00:21:45.000Get 15 bucks off your first order of ED treatment.
00:21:49.000OK, so the case that is that is now being made again is that everything in America that we don't like is due to the systemic racism of the United States and is a data point in favor of the idea that America is systemically racist.
00:22:01.000The latest case that's being used on this basis, of course, is the Derek Chauvin case.
00:22:06.000This is why you see Dan Jones making the case that if there is no conviction, it is open season for cops.
00:22:13.000Dan Jones says that if we don't convict Derek Chauvin, then cops will be able to get away with murder in broad daylight.
00:22:34.000He's ready for not guilty because of America's history.
00:22:36.000Everything is just evidence of American racism.
00:22:40.000I am already prepared for a not guilty verdict.
00:22:45.000And I, and I, you know, I hesitate to say that, but just given, given the history of this country and the history of these situations, I have to intellectually and emotionally prepare myself for that.
00:23:01.000Okay, meanwhile, Chelsea Handler, again another member of the left, she says we shouldn't even have trials in cases like this one.
00:23:07.000The narrative is so strong, you don't even need a trial.
00:23:11.000So Chelsea Handler, genius that she is, she tweeted out, so pathetic that there is a trial to prove that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd when there is video of him doing so.
00:23:33.000And this is not an easy case for the prosecution.
00:23:36.000And she doubled down on that, by the way.
00:23:37.000She said, perhaps we skip trials when there's audio and video footage of the murder.
00:23:40.000But there are several issues that still have to be adjudicated here.
00:23:43.000So, for example, The prosecution has to show beyond a reasonable doubt, not by preponderance of the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Floyd's death was caused by Derek Chauvin's actions.
00:23:54.000But the autopsy report shows that Floyd was high on fentanyl and meth at the time and had a serious heart problem, and shows that Chauvin's neck hold didn't in fact cause damage to Floyd's trachea, which means he didn't damage his airway.
00:24:05.000Which means that while Chauvin's neck restraint could have contributed to Floyd's death by ratcheting up his blood pressure, for example, it's uncertain that it caused Floyd's death more than, say, the arrest in the first place, the excited delirium that Floyd was pretty obviously in before he was even on the ground.
00:24:19.000That's before we even get to the charges, right?
00:24:21.000That's just the basic causation issue.
00:24:23.000In order to charge him with manslaughter or murder, you have to show that his actions led to Floyd's death.
00:24:27.000And it can't just be but-for causation, right?
00:24:30.000But-for Chauvin being there doing that, he would have lived.
00:24:33.000It has to be that his actions actually caused the death.
00:24:35.000There's a pretty strong medical case that that may not in fact be the case.
00:24:39.000In a second, I'm going to explain the actual charges.
00:24:42.000Again, the narrative here is that America is racist and anything that we don't like is due to American racism.
00:24:49.000And this is just another example of that.
00:24:51.000But there are very specific questions that are asked in court on these sorts of issues.
00:24:55.000So let's talk about the charges for a moment.
00:24:58.000There are three charges that are being brought against Derek Chauvin.
00:25:02.000And three, second degree manslaughter.
00:25:05.000Second-degree murder is a fairly heavy lift.
00:25:09.000It requires that the prosecution prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Chalvin unintentionally killed Floyd while intentionally committing a felony.
00:25:17.000So the question is, did he intentionally commit a felony?
00:25:19.000Did he believe that he was committing felony assault on George Floyd when he was holding him in a Minneapolis Police Department-approved neck hold, by the way, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds while a crowd of onlookers was yelling at him?
00:25:35.000Now, again, it's not just, do you believe that that's true or not?
00:25:38.000The question is, do you believe it beyond a reasonable doubt?
00:25:41.000Reasonable doubt is a very high standard of proof.
00:25:44.000So, a jury could easily find that this is not beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:25:48.000Felony assault requires intentional infliction of bodily harm.
00:25:51.000That Chalvin wanted to hurt Floyd, not just use a suppression tactic that's already been greenlit by the Minneapolis Police Department.
00:25:57.000Is there evidence that he actively wanted to hurt Floyd there?
00:26:00.000Or is there evidence that he was negligent?
00:26:02.000And we'll get to negligence in a second.
00:26:04.000Because that brings us to the manslaughter case.
00:26:34.000You drop a brick off a freeway overpass onto the cars below, right?
00:26:37.000That sort of stuff is depraved heart murder.
00:26:39.000This has a specific alleged victim, and that means that you are really not looking at a depraved heart murder.
00:26:44.000So third degree really shouldn't even apply.
00:26:46.000In fact, a higher court at one point had thrown, actually the trial court originally threw out the third degree murder charge, and then it was reinstated by a higher court.
00:26:55.000And finally, there's second degree manslaughter.
00:26:56.000And this is the one that it is most likely that Chauvin is convicted on.
00:26:59.000But if he's convicted of manslaughter and not of murder, do you think Jonathan Capehart is going to re-evaluate his belief in the racism of the American system?
00:27:06.000I don't, by the way, even if Chauvin is convicted, do you think Jonathan Capehart and Van Jones are going to re-evaluate their beliefs about the racism of the American system?
00:27:19.000Because so long as there is disparate outcome, it must be the system.
00:27:24.000And here's the thing, there will always be disparate outcomes so long as people make disparate actions.
00:27:28.000And so that second degree manslaughter charge in the Chauvin case, it requires the prosecution prove that Chauvin acted with gross negligence.
00:27:35.000But gross negligence would have to show that Chauvin should have known his behavior might cause Floyd's death.
00:27:50.000That is a basic suppression hold, again, approved by the Minneapolis Police Department.
00:27:53.000You have to prove that he intended to do that.
00:27:55.000That at the very least, he was negligent in that he knew that what he was doing could cause somebody's death.
00:28:00.000Well, barring Floyd's underlying conditions, That really shouldn't cause your death, right?
00:28:06.000If you don't have a serious cardiopulmonary issue to begin with, plus meth in your blood, plus fentanyl in your blood, makes it real difficult.
00:28:57.000When you were watching this interaction between these three Minneapolis, four Minneapolis police officers and Mr. Floyd, were you watching a cage match at the time?
00:29:08.000Well, I only seen two of them, the animals.
00:29:11.000So I was watching more of a humane show.
00:29:31.000And he said, I was not watching a sport.
00:29:34.000Okay, all this sort of testimony is provocative, but it really is not probative.
00:29:38.000Probative means it doesn't actually contribute to whether there's guilt here or not, right?
00:29:42.000It doesn't go to the underlying fact pattern.
00:29:45.000But most of the testimony that's going to be shown on late night TV and throughout the day on your 24-hour news networks is going to be the witnesses saying that they stayed up nights, for example.
00:29:53.000That was one of the witnesses said yesterday.
00:29:57.000I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and Not saving his life, but it's like, it's not what I should have done.
00:30:24.000Okay, so, you know, obviously this sort of stuff, it would be heart-wrenching, it would be terrifying, it would be terrible, but that doesn't go to the probative value here.
00:30:31.000What you're going to see is the most evocative emotional testimony.
00:30:34.000You're not going to see any of the underlying fact pattern presented on national TV, because that might actually undercut the narrative that this is a straightforward case with an easy solution.
00:30:42.000Okay, meanwhile, speaking of lies that are being told, the media continue to simply just tell lies at this point about A wide variety of topics surrounding COVID-19.
00:30:52.000So for example, they continue to trot out the lie that Ron DeSantis lied about COVID numbers.
00:30:58.000The people who are pushing that lie, people at the New York Times, people at Yahoo News, they are completely misreading the study upon which they are basing their coverage.
00:31:06.000Alexander Nazarian The reporter for Yahoo News is one of the great promulgators of this.
00:31:12.000It says, So the idea is that some 5,000 people died of COVID, and that was not reported properly.
00:31:14.000Journal of Public Health argues Florida is undercounting the number of people who died from COVID-19 by thousands of cases, casting new doubt on claims Governor DeSantis navigated the coronavirus pandemic successfully.
00:31:24.000So the idea is that some 5,000 people died of COVID and that was not reported properly.
00:31:32.000In fact, the notion that COVID-19 is responsible for all or most of these excess deaths is in question.
00:31:39.000A lot of people died in excess because they stayed at home for other reasons.
00:31:43.000They had a heart attack at home, for example.
00:31:45.000In fact, the number of excess deaths, state by state, not reported as COVID, is fairly consistent across the states.
00:31:52.000Lauren Rawson, statistician at the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who's analyzed excess deaths, told Yahoo News she saw nothing exceptionally suspicious in the state's excess death numbers.
00:32:05.000Other critics describe Florida as neither a glowing success nor an unmitigated disaster, but rather a state that has handled the pandemic with some successes and some failures.
00:32:12.000But they are trying to manufacture a headline suggesting that Ron DeSantis openly lied about the numbers of COVID deaths the way that Andrew Cuomo lied about the number of people who died in nursing homes.
00:32:23.000But the media are pushing untruths about COVID.
00:32:26.000Throughout, they've been pushing untruths about COVID for a long time, and now they're pushing untruths about the direness of the situation and the number of people who have died in red states, for example, of COVID.
00:32:36.000The Biden administration is pushing obvious lies now about the situation regarding COVID.
00:32:41.000The reality of the situation in the United States is that COVID is on the wane.
00:32:45.000We all know that COVID is on the wane.
00:32:47.000COVID is on the wane because the vaccinations are very high and because it has already burned its way through most major parts of the United States.
00:32:54.000I'm looking at the COVID numbers today in the United States.
00:32:57.000There has not been a significant escalation in the daily new cases of COVID nationwide since approximately, let's see, February 23rd.
00:33:40.000The number of active cases in the United States has actually been declining since approximately the middle of January, the end of January, according to worldometers.com.
00:33:49.000And yet we are being told that we're still in the middle of a crisis because the more the Biden administration can push the idea there's a crisis, the more they can push forward spending plans, the more they can push forward all of their big government rejiggering of the economy, the more they can push forward the idea of vaccine passports.
00:34:02.000And the thing about vaccine passports, they're relatively unnecessary when the pandemic is over.
00:34:07.000You don't need them once the pandemic is over.
00:34:10.000And these vaccines are so unbelievably effective.
00:34:15.000That, particularly if you've already been vaccinated, you really do not have to worry at that point.
00:34:20.000As Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins University said, once you're a month out from your first vaccine and two weeks out from your final vaccine, go about your daily life, you're fine.
00:34:29.000Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to push panic.
00:34:53.000Like, isn't that just that annoying guy, Toby, from the office?

00:36:04.000First, as you've probably heard, Candace Owens joined The Daily Wire a few weeks ago with the premiere of her brand new talk show, Candace.
00:36:10.000The show streams on dailyware.com Fridays at 9 p.m.
00:36:26.000I did it last week, but this week's show was also fantastic.
00:36:28.000Featured guests have included Jocko Willink, Brandon Titan, John Rich, Me?
00:36:33.000Candace is the first Daily Wire show to appear in front of a live audience, but do not worry.

00:36:45.000So, if you need some Candace Owens in your podcast feed, look no further.
00:36:48.000Head on over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
00:37:29.000Walensky also acknowledges that, by the way, we are doing a good job vaccinating, and not only are we doing a good job vaccinating across the country, once you're vaccinated, you're done.
00:37:38.000Once you're vaccinated, we're not worried about you carrying the virus.
00:37:41.000This thing has an extraordinarily high success rate, particularly the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have like well over a 90% success rate when it comes to preventing serious disease and like a 99% success rate in preventing death.
00:37:54.000Here's Walensky saying two things that make no sense back to back.
00:37:57.000She said yesterday that their data suggests the vaccinated don't carry the virus.
00:38:01.000That's kind of good news because we were told you have to wear a mask forever.
00:38:04.000Here she was basically explaining that you don't have to wear a mask forever once you're vaccinated.
00:38:13.000Our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data.
00:38:48.000So I'm speaking today not necessarily as your CDC director, not only as your CDC director, but as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter, to ask you to just please hold on a little while longer.
00:42:40.000But Joe Biden wants another $2 trillion infrastructure package.
00:42:43.000And so baby, baby's gotta, baby's gotta pay the rent somehow.
00:42:46.000And the way baby's gonna pay the rent is by telling you that COVID is never going to end.
00:42:49.000Here's Anthony Fauci warning parents about kids playing together without masks.
00:42:53.000The children can clearly wind up getting infected.
00:42:56.000When we talk about what you can do when you're vaccinated, you can certainly have members of a family, if the adults are vaccinated, and you're in the home with your child, you don't need to wear a mask and you can have physical contact.
00:43:09.000When the children go out into the community, you want them to continue to wear masks when they're interacting with groups from multiple households.
00:43:19.000Again, the notion that small children are a vector for transmission here is completely unproven at this point.
00:43:39.000She was discussing in a speech the other day, parents being unable to send their kids to school in the middle of the pandemic, and she just started laughing about it.
00:43:47.000I mean, this really is like Joaquin Phoenix, pathological, can't-help-the-laughter stuff.
00:43:51.000Here's Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, apparently suffering from the same condition as Joaquin Phoenix's Joker.
00:44:37.000We have a leader of the free world who is not a sentient human, and his vice president is a person who breaks into cackling bouts of laughter for no reason at all.
00:44:46.000And these are the people you want to give more power?
00:46:36.000On every level, they're 100% trustworthy.
00:46:39.000And by the way, they're trustworthy on the border as well, where apparently, according to one border patrol agent, we are now at over 700% of our capacity.
00:46:47.000The border is being completely overridden.
