00:00:10.000We go right into the topic you're not supposed to talk about.
00:00:12.000And then Steve Moore helps us unpack the unacceptable bill from the U.S. Senate that now heads to the House.
00:00:18.000And then finally, at the end of this program, I talk about a University of Oklahoma wide receivers coach that resigned unnecessarily.
00:00:26.000I think it's so unfair when someone makes a mistake to say a word that somebody else said it had written down and their multi-decade career has to be ruined.
00:01:16.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:47.000So Alex Jones has been in the news recently.
00:01:50.000Alex Jones is the founder of InfoWars.
00:01:54.000He has been smeared by every possible outlet imaginable as being an unfounded conspiracy theorist.
00:02:01.000Now, let me tell you the first exposure I had to Alex Jones.
00:02:06.000When I was in third or fourth grade, there were these YouTube videos that would be circulating of Alex Jones sneaking into globalist confabs.
00:02:52.000And this is the one thing I think that people get deeply wrong about Alex Jones: is that Alex Jones was totally right about Jeffrey Epstein, and everyone tried to smear him for it.
00:03:36.000They said, without a First Amendment, you don't get anyone anywhere close to Alex Jones.
00:03:42.000I found that to be really interesting, is that it comes with the bombast.
00:03:45.000It comes with the bravado, but also it comes at sometimes at a deep revelation of truth.
00:03:55.000And so if Alex Jones were to come on this program, I would tell him exactly the same thing that I would say now, that I disagree with him on certain things.
00:04:02.000I don't think he handled himself right with the Sandy Hook thing at all.
00:04:50.000So he said that, and in reaction to it, the Sandy Hook parents then started to, allegedly, to the court documents, started to get harassed because of that.
00:05:00.000Series of lawsuits then were filed against Alex Jones, saying that because of him, their lives were totally ruined.
00:05:08.000This trial has been going on and on and on.
00:05:13.000Now, remember, with Alex Jones, you're dealing with someone that specializes in bombast and bravado.
00:05:20.000He's admitted he was wrong multiple times, but that will not satisfy the media, and that will not satisfy the non-stop pressure campaign against Alex Jones.
00:05:35.000So, according to the judge in the Alex Jones case, anything you read in the press is hearsay, and even reciting what you read as a means to convey how you made it feel is also hearsay.
00:07:01.000That means that if you say something potentially cruel or could be interpreted as cruel, something offensive or could be interpreted as offensive, you could then go through multiple years of lawsuits and legal challenges that could bankrupt your entire life.
00:07:20.000Let's go to cut 25, Joe Rogan talking about Alex Jones, play cut 25.
00:07:29.000Alex Jones is funnier than Andy Kaufman's ever been.
00:08:11.000Like, why is it only acceptable if you have some kind of entertainment?
00:08:14.000Because there's so many rap videos that you could watch that I enjoy, but they're talking about shooting people and robbing people, and it's everywhere on YouTube.
00:08:52.000One of the things you've been talking about on your show is your allegation that government officials are aiding empedophia, child trafficking, and the grooming of children, right?
00:09:04.000You mean like what Jeffrey Epstein did with cleanse?
00:12:28.000The solution is having more people be able to challenge the status quo.
00:12:33.000You don't like Alex Jones, then come and speak out against him.
00:12:37.000What I'm failing to understand, though, is Alex Jones says something wrong and cruel, then people harass the Sandy Hook victims' families unacceptably.
00:12:56.000Well, they say it's because Alex Jones spread false information and he should be held liable for that.
00:13:03.000That's quite a standard, though, isn't it?
00:13:06.000The standard is that if somebody says something cruel or speculates that something is cruel and then somebody else unrelated does something bad because of that, do you know what that's like saying?
00:13:20.000That's like saying, why can't we hold Maxine Waters accountable for saying we need to burn it all down or whatever she said?
00:14:35.000My God, I agree with you that there's something more to it.
00:14:40.000You don't have all of these infinite tap that clustered in this past few years than not having some other factor.
00:14:47.000Well, notice it didn't happen the last few years, and now that Obama's coming in with gun control, magically these shootings are popping up.
00:14:56.000Alex Jones was speculating incorrectly, and dare I say baselessly, that this was somehow some sort of a government conspiracy.
00:15:07.000He was citing other government-type interventions, I think somewhat factually questionable.
00:15:14.000But you're not allowed to speculate now as a news host?
00:15:18.000You're not allowed to say, well, this happened before.
00:15:32.000What about the CNN that comes out and they say, oh, yeah, the Hunter Biden laptop, 50 intelligence officials say that the experts, Politico came out, I'm sorry, and said 50 intelligence officials that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation.
00:18:38.000They're talking now, the left is talking about, oh my gosh, Joe Biden's like the next FDR.
00:18:43.000Well, if running up record amounts of debt, records amounts of red ink and deficits and record amounts of inflation, then he has been a quote productive president.
00:18:52.000But I've never seen anything like this in my 35 years.
00:18:58.000And let's just pray that we can stop this now.
00:19:02.000I'm not confident, but maybe there are maybe four or five or six fiscally conscientious Democrats left that might finally say, hey, $3.5 trillion is enough.
00:19:32.000So California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, these states that have all gone in for green energy.
00:19:39.000By the way, it doesn't work in any of these states, right?
00:19:41.000I mean, you've covered this story, Charlie, the blackout problems and brownout problems in states like California.
00:19:48.000And so they will get most of the money.
00:19:50.000And then we have one of the themes we have to really work on, and I hope you will amplify this message because you've got such a powerful voice, is we have developed what I call the climate change industrial complex in this country.
00:20:06.000And it is made up of massive, you know, the big green lobbyists, the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, and so on, which have hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:20:16.000And then you have the wind and solar industry, which is completely dependent on these government subsidies.
00:20:23.000And then you have all these lobbyists.
00:20:25.000And this industry is now in a trillion-dollar industry that's almost completely funded by government.
00:20:33.000And we talk about the military industrial complex, the pharmaceutical industrial complex, and now there's just this monolith to go fight climate change.
00:20:41.000What bothers me so much about this, Steve, and what worries me is how brilliantly duplicitous the climate change agenda is because there is no end goal, right?
00:20:52.000They will always say, well, we just need another $100 trillion or another $250 trillion.
00:21:12.000I've been in this game a long time since the mid-1980s.
00:21:15.000And I remember when we first passed, I think it was around the early 1990s when we first, the first big handouts to the wind and solar industry.
00:21:23.000It was a five-year program, Charlie, five years.
00:21:25.000Then five years later, they said, oh, we need to extend this.
00:21:28.000Another five years, another five years, another five years.
00:21:31.000And the industry would hardly even exist if it weren't for these massive subsidies.
00:21:36.000Now, did you, do you ask me about the IRS?
00:23:19.000Well, this is a little complicated because they've made some changes to the bill in the Senate.
00:23:25.000We're still trying to figure out exactly what they did.
00:23:27.000But what the corporate minimum tax does is it affects capital-intensive companies, companies that have machinery and equipment and computers and factories.
00:23:38.000They don't get to write those off anymore.
00:23:42.000And so what they're going to do is take those factories out of the United States and they're going to put them in Mexico and China and India and other countries.
00:23:51.000So that's essentially a short version of how this so negatively affects American industries.
00:23:58.000If you believe in made in America, you got to hate this bill.
00:24:02.000So, and then, of course, the one that's getting all the headlines, and I think actually rightfully so.
00:24:05.000I don't think people are missing the most dangerous component to this: 87,000 new IRS agents, Steve.
00:24:13.000Have we ever seen such a dramatic increase in the IRS with one bill at any time in our nation's history?
00:24:20.000Or any industry for that matter, or any agency that is.
00:24:24.000You know, what's really, there's so much to be said about this, but one of the most outrageous things about this is, Charlie, I'm sure you've covered this story, but about three or four weeks ago, the Army said there were about 30 or 40,000 recruits short of what we need for our armed services, our soldiers to keep us safe.
00:24:41.000We're also about 5,000 to 10,000 short in terms of border security agents.
00:24:45.000Now, wouldn't you think that those are higher priorities than hiring 87,000 new IRS agents?
00:24:52.000I mean, don't you think securing the national security of our country and securing our border should be a higher priority than putting more money into the IRS?
00:25:01.000You would think, but the IRS gets the priority with this.
00:25:04.000So, here's my question, though, Steve: Is that, I mean, why, where are the business groups on the left?
00:25:10.000This is what I can't quite understand, is that the left has become heavily financed by corporate America, more so, the Chamber of Commerce and all of this.
00:25:20.000Why are they not stepping up to block this bill?
00:25:23.000Or are they okay with it because they think they're going to be exempt from this?
00:28:55.000It's the middle class that always get, and don't believe for one minute the biggest lie of this administration.
00:29:01.000How many times have you heard Joe Biden say, I'm not going to tax people who make less than $400,000?
00:29:07.000One of the senators had a great amendment on the floor on Saturday saying, okay, then you can only audit people who make less than $400,000.
00:29:50.000They've been through multiple ups and downs and economic markets, like you can imagine, just like the ones we're seeing today.
00:29:56.000So you just got to go to andrewandodd.com.
00:29:58.000Whether you're considering owning versus renting or seeking a safer haven for your family in a new state, now's the time to get a pre-approved loan to give you the edge over other buyers.
00:30:44.000Oklahoma coach Kale Gundy resigns after reading hateful term in a team meeting, hateful word in a team meeting.
00:30:52.000So look, I've been consistent about this.
00:30:54.000It really upset me when they tried to cancel Joe Rogan for saying rap lyrics and song lyrics that included the N-word.
00:31:01.000I don't think it's a word that should be used in decent or civil society.
00:31:04.000But if and when it is used, you also must look at the context and also the punishment.
00:31:09.000Oklahoma wide receivers coach Kale Gundy resigned on Sunday after reading a quote hateful word off a player's iPad during a team meeting.
00:31:18.000In an apology letter posted to social media, the coach said, quote, one particular word that I should never under any circumstances have uttered.
00:31:25.000The coach's nearly 25-year career ended abruptly when during a film review session last week, he saw a currently unidentified player paying more attention to his iPad than to his game film.
00:31:36.000Gundy then reportedly took the iPad from the student and read aloud what was on the screen.
00:31:41.000Unfortunately, one of the words the coach read was a racial slur.
00:31:45.000Gundy then explained, quote, last week during a film session, I instructed my players to take notes.
00:31:50.000I noticed a player was distracted and picked up his iPad and read aloud the words that were written on his screen.
00:31:54.000The words displayed had nothing to do with football.
00:31:57.000One particular word that I should never under any circumstance have uttered.
00:32:31.000And then you have to resign in disgrace and your life is ruined?
00:32:35.000Oklahoma first-year head coach Brent Venables said he accepted the resignation and insisted that those associated with the school, quote, held accountable for our actions and resulting outcomes.
