Alexandra Ocasio-cortez's grandmother is still living in poverty in Puerto Rico, despite the fact that her roof has caved in and her house has been ravaged by Hurricane Maria. Why is she complaining about the living conditions of her grandmother when she can be doing more to help out her own grandmother? And why is she so upset that a GoFundMe campaign to help her grandmother was shut down within 5 hours of being set up? Is she mad at President Trump for not helping her grandmother, or is she angry at the Democratic Party for not doing enough to help the Puerto Rican people in need of desperately needed relief? Or is she mad because she doesn t have enough money to pay for her grandmother's basic needs, and she can t afford to go to Puerto Rico to get the help she needs from the federal government to get her house back on its feet? Shout out to the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh for his efforts to help AOC's grandmother.

00:00:42.000If you haven't protected your savings and your investments, you're making a mistake.
00:00:45.000At the very least, you should diversify a little bit to make sure the government isn't going to inflate you out of your savings.
00:00:50.000So I'm going to tell you again, if you haven't reached out to Birch Gold to diversify part of your IRA or 401k into a precious metals IRA, go ahead and do it today.
00:01:41.000Alrighty, so I have to start today with a piece of sad, sad news.
00:01:45.000That piece of sad news is that despite the best attempts of The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez's abuelita is still living in poverty.
00:01:56.000So you'll recall that last week, She tweeted out, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez did, about her grandmother living in Puerto Rico and her roof caving in.
00:02:06.000And then she blamed Trump and the policymaking in Puerto Rico.
00:02:09.000Now, we could get into the policymaking in Puerto Rico, who's really responsible for the distribution of resources in Puerto Rico, how it's kind of Democrats in Puerto Rico who left millions of water bottles on the tarmac to just become completely useless, and all of this.
00:02:21.000Instead, one question that a lot of people were asking was, why exactly is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who literally leased a Tesla apparently last month, why is she complaining about the living conditions of her grandmother when she could, you know, help out her grandmother?
00:02:38.000And Matt Walsh was one of the people who actually tweeted out about this.
00:02:43.000And so she had tweeted out, just over a week ago, my abuela, grandmother fell ill.
00:03:43.000Okay, well, within hours, like four or five hours, almost 6,000 people had pledged money to help AOC's grandmother, Then, the fundraiser was shut down because somebody, presumably from AOC's office or inside the family, conveyed to GoFundMe that they weren't going to take the money.
00:04:04.000So, she then tweeted out, Okay, this did result in one of the greatest headlines of all time.
00:04:08.000Okay, this is the headline from the UK Independent, you ready?
00:04:10.000systemic injustices, you seem totally fine with having a, you seem totally fine with in having a US colony.
00:04:18.000Okay, this did result in one of the greatest headlines of all time.
00:04:22.000This is the headline from the UK Independent, you ready?
00:04:25.000Right-wing blogger launches GoFundMe for AOC's grandmother in latest personal attack.
00:04:30.000No attack quite like trying to hand somebody a Man.
00:04:33.000Normally when they say antisemitic attacks, they mean somebody getting beat down the street, but I mean, if somebody wants to attack me in antisemitic fashion by giving me $100,000, that sounds kind of okay to me.
00:04:49.000So, Walsh then tweeted out, So, sad news.
00:04:52.000The attempt to help AOC's grandmother was unavailing.
00:04:53.000GoFundMe, she won't take the money, even though AOC previously claimed her grandmother was in dire straits and it was Trump's fault. AOC still hasn't acknowledged this effort or thanked us.
00:05:00.000Here's the email from GoFundMe, and then he provided a screenshot. So, sad news. The attempt to help AOC's grandmother was unavailing. So, her grandmother presumably is still living in the same sort of dire poverty, unless AOC has decided to redistribute some of her own money to her grandmother and maybe skip a Tesla payment or two. All right.
00:05:19.000Meanwhile, the big news of the weekend is that Joe Manchin may have just ended Joe Biden's presidency.
00:05:25.000So Joe Biden's presidency is deeply reliant on two swing senators, particularly Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
00:05:33.000Sinema is in Arizona, which is a purple state, and Manchin is in the reddest state in America.
00:05:37.000Manchin is a Democratic senator from West Virginia.
00:06:13.000The Republicans should have been able to take one of two seats in Georgia, but they failed to take one of the two seats in Georgia.
00:06:19.000Largely because President Trump decided to talk about how Georgia's elections were all skewed and all this, and Republicans in rural areas didn't show up and vote.
00:06:26.000So you ended up with two Democratic senators in Georgia, which is unthinkably stupid.
00:06:29.000And instead, you end up with a Democratic majority.
00:06:31.000But that Democratic majority is really fragile in the Senate.
00:06:35.000And it's particularly fragile because again, Joe Manchin knows where his bread is buttered.
00:06:38.000He knows what state he represents, and he is not going to move along with this radical Biden agenda.
00:06:43.000So Joe Biden, he had basically one of two choices.
00:06:49.000He could pursue a more moderate agenda that would pick up a few Republican votes, plus it would have Sinema and Manchin on board most of the time.
00:06:55.000Or he could run directly to the radical left, and he could try to apparently leverage Manchin and Sinema into doing his bidding.
00:07:02.000Well, yesterday, it became clear that Joe Manchin was not going to allow Joe Biden to do the latter.
00:07:09.000Just last week, you'll remember that Joe Biden got up in the middle of a speech and started ripping on his own senators.
00:07:14.000He suggested that Manchin and Sinema should go along with the killing of the filibuster so that they could ram through a $6 trillion budget.
00:07:21.000So they could ram through a $2 trillion infrastructure package and H.R.
00:07:25.0001, which would completely federalize all election procedure and make it much easier to push ballot harvesting and voter fraud.
00:07:31.000And he was going to push Cinema and Manchin into the corner over all of this.
00:07:34.000And Manchin and Cinema have repeatedly said over and over and over, we are not, no one's going to put Baby in a corner.
00:07:43.000It is amazing in American politics how voters nationally, because every issue has now been nationalized, the base of the party is out of alignment with the reality.
00:07:52.000Okay, the base of the party of the Republican Party will look at senators like Susan Collins in Maine and will go, oh, she's so terrible, somebody should primary her.
00:07:58.000Neglecting, of course, that if you primary Susan Collins, there's a very, very good shot that the person who replaces Susan Collins is a Democrat.
00:08:05.000Meanwhile, you have Democrats doing the same thing with Manchin and Sinema.
00:08:07.000They're like, oh my god, look at these terrorists.
00:08:09.000Why do we even bother having Democrats in these states?
00:08:20.000Those seats will flip Republican again.
00:08:23.000So, you could work in line with the reality, or you could just complain about reality and force the people in your own party over to the other side of the aisle.
00:08:32.000You want to have Manchin switch parties?
00:08:33.000This is a very, very good way to do it.
00:08:35.000That's how Joe Manchin is killing Joe Biden's progressive dream in just one second first.
00:08:39.000Let's talk about the fact that if you're a responsible human being, you really need to get life insurance.
00:08:43.000You need to make sure that your family is taken care of.

00:09:40.000Head on over to policygenius.com slash apiro.
00:09:44.000When it comes to insurance, it's nice and very important to get it right.
00:09:47.000Okay, so there is something to the strategy that is pushed by the radical progressive Democrats if they believe that their agenda is actually politically popular, right?
00:09:56.000So we lose the seats in West Virginia and we lose the seats in Arizona, but our agenda is so popular nationwide that we're going to pick up seats in a bunch of other places.
00:10:05.000Which means they're relying on this bare-bones majority to push through a bunch of progressive policies, and that bare-bones majority is not going to hold.
00:10:12.000And Joe Manchin made that clear over the weekend when he wrote for the West Virginia Gazette-Mail that he was not going to vote in favor of H.R.
00:10:19.0001, which is this bullcrap For the People Act.
00:10:22.000So the For the People Act, again, is a wild federalization of all voting procedure.
00:11:56.000And on the basis of that, you're going to violate the Constitution and federalize all voting procedure?
00:12:00.000Okay, so Joe Manchin's like, we're not doing this.
00:12:03.000He writes, The right to vote is fundamental to our American democracy, and protecting that right should not be about party or politics.
00:12:09.000Least of all, protecting this right, which is a value I share, should never be done in a partisan manner.
00:12:13.000During my time as West Virginia's Secretary of State, I was determined to protect this right and ensure our elections are fair, accessible, and secure, not to benefit my party, but all the people of West Virginia.
00:12:22.000For example, as Secretary of State, I took specific actions to establish early voting for the first time in West Virginia in order to provide expanded options for those whose work or family schedule made it difficult to vote on Election Day.
00:12:33.000Throughout my tenure in politics, I've been guided by the simple philosophy our party labels can't prevent us from doing what is right.
00:12:39.000Unfortunately, we are now witnessing that the fundamental right to vote has itself become overtly politicized.
00:12:45.000Today's debate about how to best protect our right to vote and to hold elections is not about finding common ground, but seeking partisan advantage.
00:12:51.000Whether it is state laws that seek to needlessly restrict voting, or politicians who ignore the need to secure our elections, partisan policymaking won't instill confidence in our democracy.
00:13:00.000As such, congressional action on federal voting rights legislation must be the result of both Democrats and Republicans coming together to find a pathway forward, or we risk further dividing and destroying the republic we swore to protect and defend as elected officials.
00:13:13.000Democrats, and in Congress, have proposed a sweeping election reform bill called the For the People Act.
00:13:17.000This more than 800-page bill has garnered zero Republican votes.
00:13:21.000Are the very Republican senators who voted to impeach Trump because of actions that led to an attack on our democracy unwilling to support actions to strengthen our democracy?
00:13:28.000Are these same senators, whom many in my party applauded for their courage, now threats to the very democracy we seek to protect?
00:13:33.000The truth, I would argue, is that voting and election reform that is done in a partisan manner will all but ensure partisan divisions continue to deepen.
00:13:39.000So Manchin's making a pretty easy point here.
00:13:40.000He's saying, listen, it's not just Ted Cruz who's not voting for this.
00:13:48.000The most moderate Republican senators are not voting for this.
00:13:52.000So, says Joe Manchin, with that in mind, some Democrats have again proposed eliminating the Senate filibuster.
00:13:57.000They've attempted to demonize the filibuster and conveniently ignore how it has been critical to protecting the rights of Democrats in the past.
00:14:04.000As a reminder, just four short years ago, says Manchin, in 2017, when Republicans held control of the White House and Congress, Donald Trump was publicly urging Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster.
00:14:13.000Then, it was Senate Democrats who were proudly defending the filibuster.
00:14:16.00033 Senate Democrats penned a letter, two senators, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, warning of the perils of eliminating the filibuster.
00:14:22.000It has been said by much wiser people than me that absolute power corrupts absolutely, says Manchin.
00:14:27.000Well, what I've seen during my time in Washington is that every party in power will always want to exercise absolute power absolutely.
00:14:33.000Our founders were wise to see the temptation of absolute power and built in specific checks and balances to force compromise that serves to preserve our fragile democracy.
00:14:42.000So, he says, I'm not going to kill the filibuster just to push forward an act that is going to garner zero Republican support.
00:14:51.000It may be that Biden has had his high watermark in terms of legislative accomplishments.
00:14:55.000That whatever he was going to get done, he basically got done already.
00:14:57.000That that giant stimulus bill, which is not a stimulus bill, it's actually just inflating the currency right now.
00:15:04.000That's all that's happening, it's just inflating prices.
00:15:06.000That that giant quote-unquote relief package may be the biggest thing that he is able to achieve here.
00:15:12.000Now he's pushing things like this giant infrastructure package.
00:15:15.000There's no guarantee that Manchin or Sinema are going to vote for a $2 trillion infrastructure package or kill a filibuster in order to do so.
00:15:21.000Manchin has suggested he's not a fan of it.
00:15:24.000There's no guarantee that they're going to get certainly a $6 trillion budget through a Congress that is split 50-50 in the Senate.
00:15:33.000And again, instead of Biden taking the Clintonian tack and tacking to the center, Biden seems like he wants to double down on stupid here.
00:15:41.000And he sort of boxed himself in, because the sort of rhetoric that they have used, the Democrats, with regard to voting, suggests that if they are to, if they cave to Sinema and Manchin, and provide some sort of compromise bill, that for example, shores up voter ID, but also broadens early voting, that if they did that, their own base would kill them.
00:16:01.000They've moved so far out on the limb with their rhetoric, that this is all Jim Crow kind of stuff, that to be seen complicit in that, is death for their base.
00:16:09.000So now they're caught between a rock and a hard place.
00:16:11.000Sort of the same way the Republicans, who were also nursing a very fragile majority in the Senate, and thus weren't able to get a lot done, but had also promised the world to their base, were stuck between a rock and a hard place with their own base.
00:16:23.000Now Democrats are experiencing the same thing.
00:16:26.000And people like Barack Obama are continuing to push it.
00:16:30.000Here's Barack Obama over the weekend suggesting that Republicans are rigging the game in terms of voting.
00:16:34.000Okay, what that suggests is that Manchin and Sinema are the villains.
00:16:37.000and that they need to somehow be held to account.
00:17:11.000By the way, Barack Obama talking about our soul is always a laugh, considering how he corrupted American politics in order to foster his own power.
00:17:40.000DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is very upset with Joe Manchin.
00:17:43.000Here he was ripping on his own senator yesterday.
00:17:46.000I'm very disappointed in Senator Manchin's decision, and obviously I disagree.
00:17:51.000Because listen, I know he wants to protect democracy, but there will be no democracy if we don't protect the rights to votes of all Americans.
00:17:59.000You know, Alex, there's only one party in this nation right now that has over 350 plus bills in order to suppress and encumber the rights of voters in this nation.
00:18:10.000Only one party right now that is trying to cut hours in which people can go vote.
00:18:16.000Change the standard by which courts look at elections and determine whether or not there's fraud in elections.
00:18:22.000Only one party that is allowing political goons to go and try to intimidate voters at the precinct.
00:18:32.000Okay, so again, he's ripping on his own senator and basically putting himself in a position, Jamie Harrison, where if you don't oppose your own senator, if you don't rip on your own senator, now you're a racist, right?
00:18:40.000You're in league with the evil Republicans.
00:18:42.000Now, to debunk what he's talking about here, this notion that you are somehow restricting the right to vote by not allowing the emergency conditions of the pandemic to be the new normal is absurd on its face.
00:19:02.000The notion that people are having their votes suppressed in the United States is just a lie.
00:19:05.000There is more evidence of voter fraud in the United States than there is evidence of voter suppression in the United States.
00:19:10.000There's not a ton of evidence of either.
00:19:11.000But there's better evidence that voter fraud is easy and available than that voter suppression is easy and available.
00:19:16.000Okay, Democrats, keep pushing, and keep pushing this.
00:19:20.000You know, keep, keep humping that dead horse.
00:19:21.000I mean, seriously, just keep doing it, guys, because you're not, you're alienating your own senators.
00:19:26.000Here's Jennifer Granholm, the Energy Secretary, ripping on Joe Manchin for not supporting the infrastructure package.
00:19:32.000Do respect, Madam Secretary, but you didn't answer my question because the question is, would Manchin vote for a bill if it's just Democrats?
00:19:40.000And you said he would vote for it if it's bipartisan.
00:19:42.000I don't know of any Republicans who are willing to vote for this yet.
00:21:01.000Quote, Democrats defeated President Donald J. Trump and captured the Senate last year with a racially diverse coalition that delivered victories by tiny margins in key states like Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin.
00:21:11.000In the next election, they cannot count on repeating that feat.
00:21:14.000A new report warns, By the way, tie all Democratic candidates to the far left.
00:21:19.000groups has concluded the party is at risk of losing ground with black, Hispanic, and Asian-American voters unless it does a better job of presenting an economic agenda and countering Republican efforts to spread misinformation and tie all Democratic candidates to the far left. By the way, tie all Democratic candidates to the far left. We don't have to tie anything. You guys are doing it yourselves. You're attacking your own moderate senators.
00:21:38.000You have the President of the United States attacking the two moderate senators in your coalition.
00:21:52.000Republicans don't have to spread misinformation.
00:21:54.000All they have to do is spread information.
00:21:56.000The 73-page report obtained by the New York Times was assembled at the behest of Third Way, a centrist think tank, and the Collective PAC and Latino Victory Fund, which promote Black and Hispanic candidates.
00:22:05.000The document is all the more striking because it is addressed to the victorious party, In part, the study found Democrats fell short of their aspirations because many House and Senate candidates failed to match Joe Biden's support with voters of color.
00:22:16.000Those constituencies include Hispanic voters in Florida and Texas, Vietnamese American and Filipino American voters in California, and Black voters in North Carolina.
00:22:58.000Cut has taken a classic men's fashion staple, the plain tee.
00:23:00.000They've refined it, combining premium quality with a minimalist aesthetic.
00:23:03.000Cut's shirts, polos, hoodies, and crew sweatshirts are made for the man who works hard, plays hard, and never settles for less, all in the sport of business.
00:23:10.000Take a plain tee, but make it Tony Stark.
00:23:11.000The bleeding edge of fabric technology meets the man confident enough to wear Cut's clothing.
00:23:16.000It is the perfect t-shirt, and they also have the new Cut hoodie.
00:23:19.000They've developed Hyperloop French terry fabric, It's a texture that's temperature controlled and ageless.
00:23:24.000Or try the wrinkle-free Pika Polo, a design that keeps you fitted for the office golf course, at home, the gym, or your next hot date.
00:23:53.000So meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to push forward extraordinarily radical plans Particularly when it comes to economics.
00:24:01.000Now what they are doing internationally is attempting to push all other countries into setting a sort of floor so that we can move above the floor.
00:24:08.000So Joe Biden knows full well that his garbage tax policy, like he's pushing corporate taxes up to 28%.
00:24:14.000Now he knows that if he gets that done, every corporation in America that has the capacity to do so will think about offshoring.
00:24:21.000The thing about reorganizing outside the United States of America.
00:24:24.000Because this happened a lot during the Obama administration.
00:24:26.000There's a tremendous acceleration during the Obama administration.
00:24:30.000Because you just reorganize in another Western European country.
00:24:33.000So Biden has decided to combine with all of the progressive left politicians in Europe in order to foster a corporate baseline tax rate.
00:24:43.000Now, the only reason that these other countries would do that is presumably because they think that they will still have some sort of advantage over Biden.
00:24:50.000Understand that if they set the international baseline corporate tax rate at 15% and Biden goes to 28%, he's still almost doubling it.
00:24:58.000So what they're figuring is, okay, well, this is still pretty good collective action for us because if we all go to 15% and I'm Germany and I can get France to do that, well then I guess people won't shift their corporate headquarters to France as opposed to Germany.
00:25:11.000So we'll use Biden leveraging us as a way to still continue to have an advantage over the United States, but we'll get credit from Biden and we'll prevent all the other European countries from apparently basically gaming the system.
00:25:25.000But Joe Biden, meanwhile, is making it harder to do business everywhere.
00:25:28.000He's trying to leverage, by the way, there are a lot of other countries on planet Earth.
00:25:32.000You're about to see, if any country is smart out there, that is outside of the G7, they're immediately going to lower their corporate tax rate to almost zero.
00:25:41.000And everyone will immediately start to reorganize in that country.
00:25:45.000According to CNN, the group of seven finance ministers gathering in London agreed Saturday to back a global minimum tax of at least 15% on multinational companies, The G7 group also agreed the biggest companies should pay tax where they generate sales, not just where they have a physical presence.
00:25:59.000So in other words, if a French company sells products in the United States, they'll have to pay the United States tax.
00:26:06.000This is going to lead to all sorts of serious complications, by the way.
00:26:09.000Because, again, how do you even... Now you're gauging it from point of sale.
00:26:14.000So you have to determine whether you think you're going to make more money by exporting to the United States or not exporting.
00:26:20.000Because eventually what you're going to end up with is if the United States has a higher tax rate on these corporations than does France, for example, then companies are just going to stop exporting to the United States as much.
00:26:31.000They're going to look for other markets, emerging markets.
00:26:33.000Meanwhile, that is a domestic boon for American companies.
00:26:39.000It makes it much harder for consumers to get products that they want to get at the prices they want to get them in the United States.
00:26:43.000Taxpayers end up paying the price on all of this.
00:26:45.000UK Finance Minister Rishi Sunak announced the agreement in a video posted on Twitter Saturday, saying the G7 finance ministers hailing from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the United States had reached a historic agreement to reform the global tax system to make it fit for the global digital age.
00:26:59.000And crucially, To make sure it's fair so the right companies pay the right tax in the right places.
00:27:04.000Right there is defined as progressives get to tell you what to do.
00:27:08.000The agreement was made during a G7 meeting of finance ministers in London, attended by Janet Yellen.
00:27:13.000Yellen said Saturday, the agreement was a significant, unprecedented commitment from the world's richest economies aimed at preventing companies from avoiding taxes by shifting profits overseas.
00:27:21.000Because again, by the way, corporate profits, that's double taxation, because all that stuff gets passed down to you in the form of dividends, or in the form of wealth that is passed on generationally, or in the form of income, right?
00:27:32.000Because most of us work for corporations.
00:27:35.000Tech giants such as Apple, Facebook, and Google might be affected by the agreement.
00:27:38.000Foreign governments have long complained large digital companies should pay them more in taxes.
00:27:42.000Some have recently passed taxes specifically for targeting revenue generated by such companies, including those based in the United States, like Facebook, Google, and Amazon.
00:27:51.000Nick Clegg, of course, of Facebook, whose main job is to please the Biden administration, said they're happy about this.
00:27:56.000This is what people don't understand about these major corporations.
00:27:58.000They understand that Facebook, over at Facebook, Nick Clegg understands Facebook will survive the global taxation.
00:28:04.000It is the smaller competitors who are going to pay the price.
00:28:07.000We now live under the rule of corporatism, cronyism, in which these giant corporations work hand-in-glove with the government in order to enshrine their own power.
00:28:16.000And if they have to pay a little bit more in tax to make sure their competitors can never rise up, they do it.
00:28:21.000Google said it strongly supported the work done to update international tax rules and hopes countries continue to work together to ensure a balanced and durable agreement will be finalized soon, said Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda.
00:28:32.000A spokesperson for Amazon also embraced all of this.
00:28:37.000So, again, there are a couple of countries that want to undercut this.
00:28:49.000If you're not a member of the G7, lower your corporate taxes now and get ready for the money to flow in.
00:28:53.000All of this is not going to be good for the United States economy.
00:28:55.000Raising taxes sucks money out of the entrepreneurial sector and into the pockets of giant government bureaucrats who then spend the money on stupid garbage, which is why you have low growth rates across the West for the last several decades.
00:29:10.000Here is Joe Biden having to announce last Friday that his economic plan is working, despite the fact that, again, we had a third straight month of underperformance, economically speaking.
00:29:22.000We had March, which was a big job month, and then was revised downward.
00:29:25.000It was like 900,000 jobs revised downward to 770,000 jobs.
00:29:28.000Then we had April, which missed by three quarters of a million jobs.
00:29:32.000And then we had May, which missed by 100,000 jobs.
00:29:35.000And this is again because Joe Biden's economic policy is garbage.
00:29:38.000And yet here was Joe Biden stumbling and bumbling his way via his war with the teleprompter to the notion that his plan is working. We have a chance to seize on the economic momentum of the first months of my administration, not just to build back, but to build back better.
00:31:01.000Progress that's pulling our economy out of the worst crisis it's been in 100 years.
00:31:08.000And it's testament to the new strategy that is growing this economy, not only growing it, but growing from the bottom up and the middle out.
00:31:15.000Remember, when I took office in January, our economy was in a tailspin.
00:31:56.000You stand in line, you finally get to the front of the line, they ask you a bunch of questions, you have to look it up on your phone, finally you get the answers, and they're like, oh yeah, let me check the back.
00:32:03.000They come back out, don't have the part, we're ordering it online, and we're upcharging you by 35%.
00:32:07.000Or, you could just go to the interwebs and skip the middleman.
00:32:10.000Rockauto.com is so much easier than doing any of that stuff.
00:32:15.000RockAuto.com always offers the lowest prices possible, rather than changing their prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.
00:32:21.000Why would you spend up to twice as much for the same exact parts?
00:32:23.000They're a family business, serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:32:26.000Go to RockAuto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:32:30.000The catalog is unique, remarkably easy to navigate.
00:32:32.000You can quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brands, specifications, and prices you prefer.
00:33:25.000A lot of the restaurants and businesses that were saying that people weren't coming back to work because of the $300 are actually in those industries.
00:33:32.000And we're seeing those industries coming back, which is a great thing to do for our country to see those industries coming back, seeing hospitality come back, seeing travel come back.
00:33:54.000He's one of these shutdown insane governors who decided that every single thing in his state would need to be shut down until basically forever.
00:34:02.000He fully admits that payments are keeping people at home.
00:34:07.000I think it's a combination of things, Stephanie.
00:35:12.000I know people who have left New Jersey because of high taxes.
00:35:15.000I left California because of high taxes.
00:35:17.000Here is Phil Murphy saying a perfectly idiotic thing.
00:35:21.000It turns out people, in fact, are not leaving New Jersey.
00:35:23.000The census showed that we gained many hundreds of thousands over the last decade, and in the past year alone, somewhat due to the pandemic, by the way, a lot more people are coming than leaving.
00:35:35.000That does not mean that we don't care about cost of living or the price you pay to live in a state that we think is the number one state in America to raise a family.
00:35:46.000I would just say, when you're the densest state in the nation, which we are, In the densest region in the nation, in the Northeast Corridor, with more than our share of legacy assets, any infrastructure program, we are a huge winner.
00:37:30.000How cozy are the press with the White House at this point?
00:37:33.000So the White House reporter for USA Today tweeted this out yesterday, tweeted out a picture of cookies that Kamala Harris was handing out to members of the White House press corps on Air Force Two.
00:37:45.000Their picture, I don't know who did this cookie, and maybe they're good at cookie making, but it's a, Kamala Harris handed out cookies with an icing picture of Kamala Harris on the cookie, but her face is not on the cookie.
00:38:02.000It looks, it's like completely, it's completely mushed out.
00:38:30.000What kind of ice cream are you eating today, Joe?
00:38:33.000By the way, people tend to think that the media are helping the Democrats in this.
00:38:36.000There comes a point where the help begins to hurt because you're not asking them any of the tough questions they require in order to correct policy.
00:38:42.000So instead of a popular Clintonian presidency, you're going to end up with a very, very unpopular Jimmy Carter presidency because you spend all of your time ass-kissing the people who are promulgating bad policy.
00:38:53.000We're gonna be getting to COVID policy over at the White House and the continuing fibs and sillinesses with regard to Anthony Fauci.

00:41:45.000you're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:41:48.000Now, meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to defend the embattled Dr. Anthony Fauci.
00:41:58.000He's embattled because we've seen his emails over the last year and it turns out that he's a career bureaucrat who defends his institution above the science.
00:42:05.000He has shifted his opinion on everything based not on the science, based instead on whatever the Biden administration wants from him, or what is considered the most protective viewpoint with regard to the NIAID.
00:42:18.000That's the institution for which he works.
00:42:20.000Nonetheless, the Biden administration suggests there are no circumstances under which they would fire Anthony Fauci, which is a hell of a job guarantee.
00:42:26.000I wouldn't provide that here at Daily.
00:43:09.000Okay, like, what if, for example, he knew full well about the fact that the United States had funneled funding via a third party, EcoHealth Alliance, to the Wuhan lab where COVID-19 was developed, and then he had actively played down the possibility of a lab leak for like a year?
00:45:00.000Meanwhile, Anthony Fauci appearing on media, only friendly media, of course, and being asked questions like, why are people so mean to you on MSNBC?
00:45:08.000You know, there's this concern, is it a natural evolution?
00:45:11.000Or is it something that happened out of a lab, an accident, or what have you?
00:46:26.000Jay Bhattacharya over at Stanford University, who was widely reviled among Democrats for the last year because he had the temerity to suggest that perhaps we ought to aim for herd immunity among the young and healthy, or that perhaps we ought to lower restrictions among the young and healthy while protecting the elderly, which is exactly what Ron DeSantis did in Florida to great success.
00:46:44.000Bhattacharya went hard after Fauci over the weekend.
00:46:48.000He's been all over the place on masks.
00:46:50.000There's some emails you can find in the treasure trove of emails that have been released where he acknowledges that the virus is aerosolized.
00:46:58.000Well, the cloth masks that the people have been recommending, they're not very particularly effective against aerosolized viruses.
00:47:06.000I don't really understand his back and forth, and his answer made absolutely no sense.
00:47:11.000Yeah, you should change your mind when the science changes.
00:47:13.000But what is that science that changed that convinced him that masks are the most effective way?
00:47:18.000In fact, remember the CDC director, Robert Redfield, said that masks were more effective than vaccines.
00:47:25.000And Dr. Fauci did not contradict him when Dr. Scott Atlas said that that was nonsense, which it was.
00:47:31.000I mean, I think his credibility is entirely shot.
00:47:51.000This is why... You wonder why so many conservatives are upset about social media and their crackdown on particular types of information?
00:47:57.000Not because we believe that everything you're cracking down on is true and decent.
00:48:01.000It's because we don't trust you to determine what is true and decent.
00:48:04.000We do not think you should be the arbiter of truth.
00:48:06.000So, for example, Facebook is now announcing that they have banned Trump for an additional two years.
00:48:11.000According to the New York Times, Facebook said on Friday Trump's suspension from the service would last at least two more years, keeping the former president off mainstream social media for the 2022 midterm elections, as the company also said it would end a policy of treating posts from politicians differently from those of other users.
00:48:25.000The social network said Trump would be eligible for reinstatement in January 2023, before the next presidential election.
00:48:31.000Okay, now, regardless of what you feel about Trump, regardless of what you feel about what he said about the election, the notion that Facebook should be deciding what you are allowed to see and hear is completely absurd.
00:48:43.000It's absurd, especially considering that for the last year, if you said true things about the possibility of a lab leak from Wuhan, you are going to be suppressed on social media.
00:48:53.000The question isn't about Trump specifically.
00:48:55.000The question is about what standards do you guys have and the answer is you don't have any standards other than the arbitrariness of bouncing from wall to wall along with whatever Democrats would like today.
00:49:05.000If Democrats want you to support a global tax, you'll do it.
00:49:07.000If Democrats want you to ban Trump, you'll do it.
00:49:08.000And if Democrats want you to uphold the scientific credibility of people who have lost all credibility like Fauci, you'll do that too.
