00:00:00.000 Thank you for listening to this podcast one production.
00:00:02.000 Now available on Apple Podcasts, Podcast One, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
00:00:08.000 Senator Harris and Joe Biden officially kick off their campaign together.
00:00:12.000 Kamala, Kamala, Kamala comes together with Joe Biden, and I think we have an opportunity to win this election.
00:00:19.000 We go into exactly why and a major takeaway, one huge takeaway that foreshadows their whole campaign.
00:00:26.000 Before we get started, I want to thank those of you that helped support us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:30.000 CharlieKirk.com slash support.
00:00:34.000 Thank you guys so much for supporting our program.
00:00:37.000 Thank you for getting behind us.
00:00:39.000 I encourage you guys to go to charliekirk.com for all the latest happenings of this podcast and stay subscribed.
00:00:46.000 We have the battle plan and the pathway forward to defeat the Radical Democrats to keep America away from cultural arson so that we can make our country stable, safe, and free for future generations.
00:01:00.000 Biden and Harris start their campaign.
00:01:02.000 We have the analysis and insight that no one else has.
00:01:04.000 You don't want to miss it.
00:01:06.000 Buckle up.
00:01:06.000 Here we go.
00:01:08.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:09.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:11.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:15.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:18.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:19.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:20.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:29.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:37.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:40.000 Senator Harris and Joe Biden kicked off their campaign officially in a very awkward and socially distanced pair of announcements.
00:01:49.000 Now, if you missed this event, you had a great day.
00:01:54.000 I sat and watched this where it's a very bizarre kind of entrance.
00:02:00.000 You have Senator Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden coming in.
00:02:04.000 They're wearing masks, which, of course, I'm guessing they both were tested before this ceremony.
00:02:09.000 So them wearing masks is just nothing more than symbolic.
00:02:13.000 They walk in together and Joe Biden goes to the podium.
00:02:18.000 And he seemed somewhat sentient, actually, during his speech.
00:02:21.000 And I've been told by people that deal in neurology, there are good days and there are bad days, and there are not so good days and really bad days.
00:02:29.000 So I watched it so you didn't have to.
00:02:32.000 And so look, there actually was a lot telling from this speech.
00:02:35.000 There are some really big takeaways.
00:02:37.000 We're going to get into that and so much more throughout this episode.
00:02:40.000 But first of all, as I mentioned, anyone who has dealt with a loved one or an elderly friend who has been suffering from dementia or cognitive decline, they'll tell you that sometimes people like Joe Biden will have great days and sometimes not so great days.
00:02:54.000 Well, it seemed like today was actually one of the good days.
00:02:57.000 And he had plenty of time to practice in his basement, mind you, exactly how he was going to introduce Senator Harris exactly to have his little pocket square all figured out.
00:03:04.000 I mean, this is the only thing he has to do all day long.
00:03:07.000 Just at the recording of this podcast, I have flown thousands of miles across the country, done a fundraiser, had a couple meetings, did two podcasts, rated an interview, possibly a TV interview later, have to fly back again, get up at 6 a.m. the next morning and do it all over again.
00:03:20.000 But look, for the most part, his speech seemed fairly orderly and coherent.
00:03:24.000 Now, look, I do want to say, I hope that the potential opposition doesn't actually have mental issues.
00:03:30.000 Now, the fact that it's noteworthy shouldn't be cause for celebration. 0.66
00:03:35.000 It should be cause for concern that mental health and the health of his cognitive capacity is actually an issue of this race should be concerning to everybody. 0.53
00:03:44.000 So just because his actual speech was coherent, though, doesn't mean his ideas were any less awful, anti-American, or untrue as they normally are.
00:03:54.000 So first, he got through the niceties of how Senator Harris is a byproduct of the American dream. 0.92
00:04:00.000 How she worked up her way as a, quote, brown girl in America.
00:04:03.000 So just let's stop here.
00:04:05.000 I think that's so derogatory just to call someone a brown girl.
00:04:09.000 I mean, we're supposed to not be a racist country, right?
00:04:13.000 And former Vice President Biden calls her a brown girl in America.
00:04:17.000 How about qualified girl or smart girl? 0.93
00:04:19.000 I mean, if I was Senator Harris, I'd be so tired of being called by just your skin color, but she knows that it's her skin color that actually she has used as one of her main competitive advantage points.
00:04:33.000 But once former vice president was done with all of that, he went into this very hard-to-follow diatribe, even raising his voice, exerting likely a month's worth of energy in that one shout about how President Trump's executive order deposed payroll taxes is like cutting Social Security.
00:04:52.000 Play tape.
00:04:53.000 He's issuing executive orders and making promises that in the end will defund the social security system while insisting that this virus will disappear.
00:05:06.000 So let's just be clear here.
00:05:08.000 This is not a cut at all to Social Security.
00:05:10.000 It's relief to Americans who need it the most, many of whom will never even see Social Security.
00:05:17.000 And it's also interesting to accuse President Trump of, quote, cutting Social Security, considering Joe Biden actually stood on the floor of the Senate in the 1980s saying exactly that, play tape.
00:05:28.000 When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well.
00:05:33.000 I meant Medicare and Medicaid.
00:05:35.000 I meant veterans men.
00:05:36.000 I meant every single solitary thing in the government.
00:05:41.000 And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.
00:05:46.000 I'm one of those Democrats who voted for the constitutional amendment to balance the budget.
00:05:50.000 I've introduced on four occasions, four occasions, entire plans to balance the budget, knowing I'm not president and I'm not the leader.
00:06:00.000 But for illustrative purposes, I tried with Senator Grassley back in the 80s to freeze all government spending, including Social Security, including everything.
00:06:11.000 And even as recently as 2011, Joe Biden was on record saying a payroll tax cut will create jobs and, quote, have no financial impact on Social Security.
00:06:21.000 So which is it, Joe Biden?
00:06:23.000 A new poll points to the direction that Americans want to see this campaign against Joe and Kamala go.
00:06:29.000 A YouGov poll asked, do you approve or disapprove of the executive order President Trump signed on Saturday, which says he'll extend unemployment benefits and defer payroll taxes?
00:06:40.000 55% approved, 27% disapproved.
00:06:43.000 Now, let me just be very clear.
00:06:45.000 I'm a huge supporter of the president.
00:06:47.000 I do not like executive orders ruling by fiat when Congress does not work.
00:06:54.000 I don't like it.
00:06:55.000 However, I think this is brilliant politically what the president did.
00:06:59.000 I don't like the precedent that it sets.
00:07:01.000 I understand constitutionally the argument that he made.
00:07:04.000 Maybe it will stand up in court.
00:07:05.000 Maybe not.
00:07:06.000 I talked to a very high-ranking judge about this, and he thinks it's not going to stand up.
00:07:11.000 However, he thinks that it will not be shot down at the first hearing and that it will probably go to some appeals court and eventually these executive orders will be reversed.
00:07:20.000 So I think the president is on the right side of that issue politically.
00:07:26.000 I don't love it constitutionally.
00:07:27.000 I just don't.
00:07:28.000 I don't like presidents ruling by executive order.
00:07:31.000 But if you read the actual language of the executive order, you could see that the White House counsel was very careful of where they were going to arrange the money and reallocate the money.
00:07:40.000 However, my position is trying to narrow down the amount of executive authority there is for one potential socialist president who might one day abuse it.
00:07:51.000 Now, before we get more into Senator Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and the executive order, I just want to compliment the president on his terrific press conference.
00:08:01.000 This came right after the Harris-Biden, which just sounds so bad, Biden-Harris.
00:08:08.000 I can't quite put my finger on what it sounds like, but I'm going to mention it in a podcast as soon as I kind of hit it.
00:08:15.000 It kind of sounds like a defunct 1970s one-hit wonder band, Biden-Harris or something, that there was that one song you might remember once on the radio and it just disappeared.
00:08:25.000 Maybe that, or maybe it just sounds like a really bad appetizer that you would order at some sort of French restaurant.
00:08:32.000 However, Biden-Harris is just so, it just doesn't really come off the tongue.
00:08:36.000 Biden-Harris.
00:08:38.000 Harris Biden.
00:08:40.000 Anyway, I will say this.
00:08:42.000 President Trump's press conference was one of his best.
00:08:46.000 He argued for school choice for all Americans, while Joe Biden and Senator Harris attacked President Trump baselessly on the topic of education, play tape.
00:08:57.000 I would like the money to follow the student, and this way you can make your own choice.
00:09:02.000 The president also advocated for the reopening of schools and the return of college football.
00:09:10.000 Play tape.
00:09:12.000 I spoke to some of the great football players, college players, Trevor and a lot of great players called Coach Gold, Coach O.
00:09:25.000 A lot of fantastic people.
00:09:28.000 I got to speak to athletes, leaders.
00:09:31.000 They want to play football.
00:09:33.000 Let them play.
00:09:35.000 Let them play.
00:09:36.000 And they feel safer in the field than they do walking around and doing nothing.
00:09:43.000 President Trump's political strategy these last two weeks have been terrific.
00:09:49.000 He has been focusing on a return to college athletics.
00:09:52.000 He's been talking about kids going back to schools.
00:09:55.000 And he's been putting the left on defense.
00:09:58.000 He even said, quote, the brain starts to wither away if there is no school. 1.00
00:10:03.000 This is a winning issue for suburban moms.
00:10:06.000 There's so much data to show that in the summer, kids' cognitive capacity actually goes down.
00:10:12.000 And President Trump said this, and I agree completely.
00:10:14.000 Learning from a laptop is not great.
00:10:17.000 Boy, is that a great statement from President Trump.
00:10:20.000 I love it.
00:10:21.000 Just seeing him say it just kind of gave me a chuckle.
00:10:23.000 It's just so perfect politically. 0.99
00:10:25.000 So now, Senator Harris had her time to shine. 1.00
00:10:29.000 She came up and she just looked like Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:10:31.000 She was wearing a pantsuit.
00:10:32.000 She was cackling.
00:10:34.000 She looked so inauthentic. 1.00
00:10:36.000 Again, I said in a previous episode, she is younger, diverse Hillary. 1.00
00:10:42.000 She is a political social climber. 0.96
00:10:44.000 She is a Marxist. 1.00
00:10:46.000 She's an angry, bitter woman. 1.00
00:10:48.000 She is not someone that I consider to be a nice and gentle human being.
00:10:52.000 It's almost like Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton kind of combined into somebody, decided to go into a career in law.
00:11:00.000 That is Senator Harris.
00:11:02.000 Senator Harris, I always feel like I'm being scolded by the librarian whenever she's talking, as if she's giving some long, drawn-out speech as to, let me kind of tell you how things are supposed to be, you know?
00:11:14.000 Because if you don't listen to me, then, and that book has a late fine, I'm going to go talk to your parents and I'm going to lock you up in prison for the rest of your life.
00:11:22.000 And so Senator Harris had many opportunities in this speech to try to introduce herself as a more mainstream and moderate selection for former Vice President Joe Biden. 0.99
00:11:34.000 She did anything but that.
00:11:36.000 You see, Kamala Harris decided to go after President Trump immediately and instantaneously on the issue of economic recovery. 0.99
00:11:44.000 This is a losing message for former Vice President Biden's campaign.
00:11:49.000 It segues beautifully to a Breitbart.com piece that says this.
00:11:55.000 The nonpartisan website, govtrack.us website, rated Senator Kamala Harris, Democrat from California, the most left-wing member of the United States Senate in 2019, further left than Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders.
00:12:10.000 Pregnant pause for intentional effect.
00:12:13.000 I want to say that again.
00:12:14.000 The nonpartisan govtrack.us website rated Senator Kamala Harris, the most left-wing member of the U.S. Senate in 2019, further left than Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders.
00:12:29.000 So the Trump campaign should run this on billboards, radio, and TV every single day.
00:12:33.000 Senator Harris is the most liberal individual in the United States Senate.
00:12:37.000 Now, this has a two-pronged political strategy impact.
00:12:40.000 Number one, it's going to make Senator Harris either agree or disagree with this statement.
00:12:46.000 If she agrees with the statement, well, then all of a sudden she totally agrees that she's the most liberal person.
00:12:51.000 Now, if she disagrees, there will be even more base decay amongst the progressive left-wing base.
00:12:59.000 So Senator Harris had this opportunity to be able to introduce herself to the American people.
00:13:04.000 She did so, I think, very robotically, almost like Hillary Clinton would. 1.00
00:13:09.000 In her all-blue navy pantsuit, she decided to almost incite racial disunity.
00:13:18.000 She talked about BLM Incorporated, and she said she got her start in politics in a stroller in the civil rights era.
00:13:26.000 So Senator Harris is now going to become the focus of this campaign.
00:13:30.000 You see, former Vice President Biden has just handed those of us that want a decent, stable, and prosperous America, handed us a beautiful gift.
00:13:41.000 This entire race is now going to center around the senator from California.
00:13:46.000 She is going to have to justify and explain to the voters of Wisconsin why they should vote for the most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. 0.92
00:13:56.000 She's going to have to justify and explain all of the radical Marxist ideas that she embodies.
00:14:04.000 Here's a quick question for you: Who in the United States Senate championed and co-sponsored Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal? 1.00
00:14:13.000 Senator Kamala Harris did. 0.94
00:14:15.000 Who supports Medicare for all, a complete and total federal government takeover of our medicine? 0.99
00:14:20.000 Senator Kamala Harris. 0.98
00:14:22.000 Who supports dramatic cuts to the United States military?
00:14:25.000 Senator Kamala Harris. 1.00
00:14:26.000 All of the kind of fake, moderate position that Joe Biden was able to very carefully tailor over the last couple weeks. 1.00
00:14:35.000 Senator Kamala Harris blows all that up.
00:14:37.000 Now, Joe Biden was leading in a lot of these polls throughout the summer because, believe it or not, the states that determine the presidency are center-right states.
00:14:47.000 The states that determine the presidency are states that lean right.
00:14:51.000 They are states that are gun-loving, church-attending, morally centered states.
00:14:57.000 It's not California.
00:14:58.000 It's not Connecticut.
00:14:59.000 It's not New Jersey.
00:15:01.000 Joe Biden was at his best when he was able to position himself and paint himself as the more moderate centrist candidate.
00:15:10.000 Now we're going to start to see some warning signs for the Biden campaign.
00:15:14.000 Instead of trying to move more to the middle, like most campaigns would, he chose someone that is going to alienate the moderate population of these states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa.
00:15:27.000 And also, it really doesn't get much base benefit.
00:15:31.000 And this is a very important point.
00:15:33.000 The progressive, radical, Bernie Sanders base of the Democrat Party cannot stand Senator Harris.
00:15:41.000 Do you know that Senator Harris at her very peak in California in the Democrat primary, her home state of California, was at 7%?
00:15:51.000 That's right, 7%.
00:15:53.000 Now, just right now, a new CNBC change research poll in Wisconsin has Donald Trump doing better in this poll than he did right before he won the state of Wisconsin in 2016.
00:16:07.000 Had Joe Biden up four points, but a similar poll back in 2016 had Hillary Clinton up six points.
00:16:14.000 So this race in a lot of different ways is now going to be a referendum on the ideologies that both tickets represent.
00:16:21.000 So if I were to try to give Joe Biden the benefit of the doubt, if I was trying to put on a hat and try to think what they were thinking, which is kind of something I'm less than, let's say, qualified to do at times, but I think very carefully and analytically and spend hours of research over this.
00:16:42.000 I think that Joe Biden realized that he had a very serious problem amongst the Democrat base.
00:16:51.000 I think Joe Biden recognized that amongst the Democrat base, he was unable to generate any sort of enthusiasm, especially amongst minority voters and women voters.
00:17:03.000 So Joe Biden decided to nominate someone who thought that the rape accusations and sexual assault accusations against them, against him, was credible, which Senator Harris once said.
00:17:15.000 She said she believed Tara Reed because she once said we should believe all women.
00:17:19.000 Additionally, Joe Biden decided to have someone who went after him for bussing children for the segregationist conversation that happened last summer.
00:17:30.000 Let's play a tape so that you can remember this from last summer.
00:17:35.000 Play tape.
00:17:36.000 It was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
00:17:51.000 And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.
00:17:58.000 And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools.
00:18:06.000 And she was bussed to school every day.
00:18:09.000 And that little girl was me.
00:18:12.000 So Joe Biden, who is very carefully navigating the center lane of the American political discourse, despite the entire base of the Democrat Party being infiltrated by radical anti-American Marxists of Alexandria Casio-Cortez and Elon Omar and so many others.
00:18:31.000 Despite all of that, we are now seeing this entire race become infiltrated by the most left-wing voices imaginable, literally the most left-wing senator in the United States Senate.
00:18:45.000 So Senator Harris also said that Trump inherited a roaring economy.
00:18:50.000 Play tape.
00:18:50.000 Inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
00:18:59.000 And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground.
00:19:06.000 This is not even close to being true.
00:19:08.000 Obama oversaw the most anemic recovery in the entire 20th century.
00:19:14.000 Senator Harris then pointed to the Ebola crisis, saying that Obama did such a great job with Ebola and only two people died.
00:19:23.000 Only two people died, she said.
00:19:24.000 Play tape.
00:19:25.000 Six years ago, in fact, we had a different health crisis.
00:19:28.000 It was called Ebola.
00:19:31.000 And we all remember that pandemic.
00:19:33.000 But you know what happened then?
00:19:35.000 Barack Obama and Joe Biden did their job.
00:19:40.000 Only two people in the United States died.
00:19:43.000 Two.
00:19:45.000 That is what's called leadership.
00:19:47.000 But compare that to the moment we find ourselves in now.
00:19:51.000 Now, out of everything that Senator Harris said, and I try to keep my decibel level very much in control, this is the one that I got the most upset about.
00:20:00.000 Why?
00:20:00.000 Because I actually know what Ebola is.
00:20:03.000 She is so immoral, so dishonest, she uses something that sounds really bad, Ebola. 0.53
00:20:11.000 Do you know how you get Ebola? 0.91
00:20:14.000 According to WebMD, which allegedly has more traffic than ever before in the last four months, go figure.
00:20:22.000 WebMD, because everyone thinks that they're sick all the time.
00:20:25.000 We've created a country of hypochondriacs.
00:20:28.000 This is what it says.
00:20:29.000 It's a virus that causes severe bleeding, organ failure, and can cause to death.
00:20:33.000 Okay, stop with that.
00:20:35.000 Sounds bad, right?
00:20:37.000 How do you get it?
00:20:39.000 Humans may spread the virus to other humans through contact with bodily fluids such as blood.
00:20:46.000 It's incredibly hard to spread Ebola.
00:20:49.000 It's really, really hard to spread Ebola, okay?
00:20:52.000 That's one of the easier pandemics to be able to control.
00:20:56.000 So it is very rare, very deadly, but it's also very easy to control versus something that you don't know who's carrying it.
00:21:05.000 It's a pathogen in the air, and it spreads quicker than any of us could have realized.
00:21:09.000 So she tries to use this false moral governing equivalency between Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
00:21:18.000 This is pure political malpractice.
00:21:21.000 Now, mind you, Senator Harris did not mention H1N1 at all.
00:21:26.000 Senator Harris did not mention the swine flu.
00:21:29.000 So at the beginning of the episode, I mentioned that we learned a lot from this press conference.
00:21:34.000 Do you know what the number one thing that I learned from this entire press conference of Senator Harris and Joe Biden?
00:21:40.000 They are going to make the virus a top-tier issue of their campaign.
00:21:45.000 Most of their commentary, most of their one-liners, and most of their focus was all on the president's response to the pandemic.
00:21:54.000 If the president is able to demonstrate by September 1st, post-convention, success of breaking America out of the state of fear on the virus, the president will win this election.
00:22:06.000 They had a little bit on economic anxiety, but that message falls flat.
00:22:10.000 A little bit on Trump cutting Social Security, we already debunked that.
00:22:14.000 They taught a little bit on racial disunity and discord, of which we talked about, but they think they are going to win the White House on the issue of the virus.
00:22:23.000 They think they can create an entire public referendum campaign on the virus.
00:22:27.000 Now, Joe Biden interestingly said that politics has always been a family affair for him.
00:22:34.000 Play tape.
00:22:35.000 My campaign has always been a family affair, every campaign I've run.
00:22:40.000 So I've got some news for you.
00:22:43.000 You're all honorary Biden.
00:22:47.000 What a beautiful opportunity for us to be able to talk about his son, Hunter Biden.
00:22:51.000 Now, Joe Biden talks about his son quite a lot, Bo Biden.
00:22:55.000 May Bo Biden rest in peace.
00:22:56.000 Sorry he passed away.
00:22:58.000 And so it's interesting how Joe Biden doesn't mention his other son, Hunter Biden, that he doesn't mention Hunter Biden and the money that he laundered from the Chinese Communist Party state-sanctioned banks.
00:23:11.000 Let's talk about James Biden, Joe Biden's younger brother, who has made millions of dollars through federal government contracts rebuilding Iraq.
00:23:20.000 Hunter Biden, we talked about, serving in foreign boards in Ukraine, involved in connected business dealings with oligarchs in Kazakhstan, involved in all sorts of different international business deals.
00:23:32.000 Or, how about Frank Biden?
00:23:34.000 In late 2009, former Vice President Biden landed in Costa Rica aboard Air Force 2 and went to the Costa Rican Presidential Palace for a one-on-one with President Oscar Arias.
00:23:45.000 The Biden visit had symbolic significance.
00:23:47.000 I'm reading from the New YorkPost.com, nypost.com.
00:23:50.000 The last time a high-ranking American official had visited the company was back in 1997 when Bill Clinton had come.
00:23:55.000 But there's more to the story.
00:23:57.000 His brother, Frank Biden, he had a dream to build casinos, a world-class golf course, and an anti-aging center in Costa Rica.
00:24:07.000 And it happened that Joe Biden had been asked by President Obama to ask at the administration's point, man, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
00:24:14.000 Isn't that helpful?
00:24:16.000 Well, interestingly enough, the Costa Rican Ministry of Public Education signed a letter of intent with Frank's company for how much?
00:24:22.000 $6.5 million called the Caribbean Energy Security Initiative.
00:24:28.000 Yes, politics is a family affair for the Bidens.
00:24:32.000 No matter what it is, for Joe Biden and his family, they use their political connections and their proximity to get rich at the expense of the American people.
00:24:41.000 And this is par for the course for the entire Democrat Party to try to enrich themselves at every turn, their family members, and their public policy decisions so that they are able to get rich while the rest of the American middle class is struggling to get by.
00:24:55.000 The biggest takeaway is how lackluster their messaging and their strategy is heading into the election.
00:25:03.000 Their argument is basically this: we are not Donald Trump.
00:25:07.000 Vote for us.
00:25:08.000 Thank you.
00:25:08.000 Goodbye.
00:25:09.000 That is their reelection campaign strategy.
00:25:13.000 If President Trump can get people excited, if President Trump can continue to make a compelling argument to the American people as to the think big, dream big platform, that we are a tough nation, the Harris-Biden duo can be defeated and will be defeated at the ballot box.
00:25:32.000 Their inauthenticity, their lack of mental stability, and their corruption are winning issues for the president to continue to zero in on.
00:25:41.000 We are going to have an entire update on college football, but very quickly, I want to play a tape from Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who said his team intends to play their home games in front of their fans.
00:25:51.000 Play tape.
00:25:52.000 The NFL can be an exciting, when I say exciting, it can be an inspirational part of how we address COVID, not only the remainder of this year, but as we go into 21.
00:26:07.000 So it's a big enough deal for me to look at costs in every way.
00:26:14.000 And obviously, costs usually are associated with financial.
00:26:17.000 But it's easy for me to justify for the long term of interest in football and the long-term thing that competitive sports bring to the table and what it can bring to the country.
00:26:31.000 It's worth it to make the effort for us to have a complete season, and I want to do it in front of our fans.
00:26:37.000 This is the right move, especially considering the Cowboys being America's team.
00:26:42.000 And now, a follow-up from yesterday's episode: the SEC and the ACC also announced since yesterday's episode that they, unlike the cowardly anti-science Big Ten and Pac-12, would be playing college football this season.
00:26:54.000 And Lou Holtz, the great Lou Holtz, said it best on Fox News with Bill Hemmer yesterday.
00:26:59.000 And I just loved this segment, play tape.
00:27:02.000 What do you think, Coach?
00:27:03.000 Is that the right call?
00:27:04.000 Well, it's not really a difficult decision for him.
00:27:07.000 Two of the presidents happen to be MDs, and MDs are not great leaders.
00:27:12.000 They only look at it from one side.
00:27:14.000 Players want to play, coaches want to coach, athletic directors want to play, they need the money.
00:27:19.000 However, the presidents have no responsibility.
00:27:22.000 They have no other concern.
00:27:24.000 It's easy to say, no, we are going to play.
00:27:26.000 That is lack of leadership.
00:27:28.000 You have to look at the whole process along the line.
00:27:32.000 Example, Clemson, many years, many months ago, had a rash of COVID-19 positives.
00:27:38.000 They've had one in the last month.
00:27:41.000 I think that you can, a thousand to one, Bill, the Pac-12 will go along with the Big Ten.
00:27:47.000 They're tied waste to waste.
00:27:48.000 They have been ever since 46 when they made the Rose Bowl agreement with the Big Ten.
00:27:53.000 So I just think it showed no.
00:27:56.000 You're saying they should play.
00:28:02.000 I think they should play, but then again, that's my thing.
00:28:05.000 I think that you ought to say to the players, you want to play if you have a problem, if you have an asthma problem, if you're diabetic or something, and you have a legitimate reason you don't want to play.
00:28:15.000 Absolutely.
00:28:15.000 Don't play.
00:28:16.000 The rest of you want to play.
00:28:17.000 Let's go play.
00:28:19.000 The bottom line is let the kids play. 0.86
00:28:21.000 America needs it.
00:28:22.000 College football and football in general is essential.

00:28:41.000 Senator Harris thinks that she is going to have ultimate power very soon.
00:28:44.000 If we rise up as conservatives and do something about it, we can keep this republic free, fair, and stable and out of the hands of bitter anti-American Marxists that want to see America burn down to the ground.
