00:07:30.680and we should point out too he walked up to this woman this one woman was 33 i believe so like
00:07:38.940ancient and cuomo years like dog years and walked up to her and put his hand on her bare back
00:07:47.860and she physically removed yeah with her hand his hand so she pulled him away
00:07:54.100seconds after that is when he the picture that has been out there where he has his hands on her
00:07:59.200face so she was that's and that is talking down to somebody yeah you put your hands on people's
00:08:05.220faces like that who do you do that to you do that to children to a kid maybe someone i mean and joe
00:08:10.460does it to kids and then he pulls them in closely uh i mean you only do that when you're talking
00:08:17.820down to somebody or somebody it's a very intimate moment with you and you know your spouse or
00:08:23.500somebody you know very well very well right and not someone who's just the first contact
00:08:29.100you've ever made with the person physically removed your hand no i mean that's that's a thing like
00:08:33.040right that's a what's he doing he's just now he's like is he talking down to her what did he say to
00:08:38.300her when and he asked her if he could kiss her that's what he asked said oh my gosh and he said
00:08:42.340that did you not get the i just removed your hand from my ass did you not get that one that's bad i
00:08:48.960mean that's again is it is it a criminal action probably not is it the type of thing now this was not
00:08:54.620at a work event this particular one was at a social event but is it the power dynamic right the power
00:08:59.920dynamic she was 20 she was 25 he was 670 years old and and also he was the governor of the state
00:09:08.160and most likely a monster yeah now and this one you have to understand these the age separation was
00:09:13.940only three decades here um so that was not it's not i mean look it was only 30 years they have a lot
00:09:18.620yeah not 30 they have a lot in common they both wear shoes uh they can talk skin they have skin
00:09:26.420they have so much i will say the shoes things pants right you wear pants or no pants on the shoes
00:09:32.300thing though that she does not wear dr shoals so there is some there are some differences i was
00:09:38.100talking to dr falso dr shoals that's his uh epidemiologist he's been trusting his dr shoals this
00:09:45.240whole time i look i it's i do think a lot of this is an excuse for his other borderline possible
00:09:55.400criminal actions he's taken you know when you go through a year and praise andrew cuomo for his
00:10:02.080handling and then you realize hey let's not talk about probes or handling okay i'm a little sensitive
00:10:10.160right now when you do that you can't just reverse it right because then you're admitting you
00:10:15.140were incompetent during the entire covet thing yep when you when you were praising him for being
00:10:20.080wonderful now you realize he was terrible you can't turn that around so easily so i think they're
00:10:25.100utilizing these scandals to uh show they have a way to turn this thing around oh now we we think he
00:10:32.860should be out of there i honestly i think for the people of new york the best thing that can happen
00:10:36.860is him leaving any way possible i'm a huge skeptic that's something that positive for america can occur
00:10:42.900i don't think he survives this you know between the two of them no no wait slate is coming to his
00:10:48.760defense slate is yes slate is saying that yes several accusations on sexual harassment but
00:10:56.220it's time to demand due process yeah it wasn't time with kavanaugh yeah it wasn't never done and it
00:11:03.780won't be time next time if it's a conservative no no and it won't be time even for andrew cuomo he
00:11:08.860will not give due process to the next republican that goes through this though i do say i will
00:11:12.760agree and be consistent and i think we all will that that he does deserve due process for this
00:11:18.580however he's had due process for the nursing home thing and we've gone through that he was negligent
00:11:23.960i mean you could really charge negligent negligent homicide on this yeah negligent homicide
00:11:28.720not just negligence negligent homicide yes he knew what he was doing he knew what he was hard to
00:11:35.320imagine it really is hard for me to physically imagine a person going through this scenario and
00:11:42.120saying okay wait you want to do what now you want to take the people who have covid19 and you want to
00:11:46.820put them in the same rooms with the most vulnerable people now only five governors did this cuomo added on to
00:11:54.960this and did a situation where he couldn't he made it illegal to test them so it's like let's just say
00:12:00.600you knew you were going to take a covid19 positive patient into your nursing home you might at least
00:12:05.220put them in like the back room i don't know away from the other patients right yeah he wouldn't even
00:12:10.260allow the testing to occur to know if they were positive right it's not like joe biden who knows
00:12:15.920these people have covid and uh because they're illegals he's just going to release them into the general
00:12:21.580population of texas right it's not that no no he wouldn't allow the second test to be done right
00:12:28.900yeah and then there's the situation where his excuse for this is well we thought hospitals were going to
00:12:34.980be overwhelmed and the cdc did a terrible job with our hospital estimates early on that's why i was
00:12:39.840shoving him in ovens look look the cages were overwhelmed i had to do something with them hey get into
00:12:47.760this oven but a brooklyn nursing home in particular went to cuomo in the middle of this and said hey i
00:12:53.960know you're saying we need to bring these covid positive patients back into our freaking nursing
00:12:57.920home but i happen to notice this giant ship that donald trump pulled in because you said that you
00:13:03.840needed it so bad it holds thousands of thousands and it's entirely empty can we take those people
00:13:08.560and put them on there no can we do that why would we put them in the javits sensor when it was empty
00:13:13.460it was at his disposal and what cuomo said was do it no no suck it no yeah hey watch your language
00:13:21.780all right let me give you one more story on governor cuomo now this is an opportunity for you to find out
00:13:30.740how politically incorrect you really are i want no one on this program to say anything about this
00:13:38.500story this is a joke if you find this funny you'll have to ask yourself why okay okay
00:13:46.200chicago mayor laurie lightfoot is that the whole thing no no because i was laughing has sympathized
00:13:58.580with the women who accused new york governor andrew cuomo of inappropriate sexual behavior
00:14:05.280because she said she herself has been a victim of workplace sexual harassment
00:14:12.660you have to ask yourself why right if you're laughing if you're laughing you're sick you're a bad yeah
00:14:24.660you want some common sense here it is and i want to quote directly from a transcript you'll
00:14:40.740understand why i'm saying that in a second quote the thing i want to talk about that's happened
00:14:46.600recently and i never from my years of teaching and administration i do not get into religion i do
00:14:53.140not get into politics with my students it's not that i don't or i'm not involved in them i'm deeply
00:14:59.080involved in them but that is my belief my belief is that those things should reflect your values and
00:15:06.200your values you should get from your parents so i always want to have the students go to their parents
00:15:11.380when they have a question about their values and how that value should be reflected in their faith or in
00:15:17.000their politics and you want to align those decisions about religion and politics with those values
00:15:22.540and with truth i'm also not a conspiracy theorist i have no belief in some great overarching illuminati
00:15:28.760group that's taking over anything but some stuff has happened last weekend now this was in january 11th
00:15:35.420that i have some problems with that i think affect you and i want you to help i want to help you think
00:15:40.940about them i'm not going to tell you what to think i just want to help you think and no it's not about
00:15:46.600the capital riots that was ignorance at the highest levels i don't know too many people who are going to
00:15:52.760be okay with what happened i don't care whose side you agree with we do not practice sedition we do not
00:16:00.300attack our legislature but no what's going on with twitter and facebook and google and apple their decision
00:16:09.060as private companies to filter and to decide what you can hear and know about and this is not about
00:16:16.040trump i'm not getting into that this is about speech because there have been times in american history
00:16:21.840where a small group of people decided what you can and cannot hear think about mccarthyism if you don't
00:16:28.200know about that google it or talk to your social studies teacher but think about totalitarian governments
00:16:34.520think of north korea think of china what makes those types of systems possible is the restriction
00:16:40.960and the elimination of the free exchange of ideas and america in democracies we talk about the marketplace
00:16:48.320of ideas well what happens when the marketplace of ideas becomes a forced monopoly what happens when you
00:16:54.940don't have a dissenting opinions when you don't have an exchange on competing ideas how do you know if your
00:17:02.300idea can stand on their own if there is no marketplace of competing ideas and i'm not saying that because
00:17:09.040i'm in favor of parlor if i'm favor of donald trump or in favor of anyone else who's being banned or their
00:17:14.640app is being told you can't be in the marketplace of ideas because you don't follow our prescribed values
00:17:19.740or ideas i have a huge issue with that and to me this became a problem back in the 1990s the early 90s
00:17:27.440in that event in history known as waco and i know most of you weren't even alive but your teachers and
00:17:32.660your parents know about this i was not a part of the branch david davidians i don't have anything for
00:17:39.580or against branch davidians or david koresh but what happened but because of what happened there
00:17:47.120it was a religious group in waco texas that some some folks thought was a little odd and the
00:17:53.140the government decided that they needed to go in and check them out and of course they were doing
00:17:58.160some things that most people would have thought a little outside the norm or maybe way outside the
00:18:03.560norm but that's not the point the point was that a group of people decided that somebody who disagreed
00:18:09.520who thought differently or looked differently from them needed to be filtered needed to be reigned in
00:18:14.400needed to be controlled by someone else well that was a religious group and i belong to a religious
00:18:19.960group what happens if one day a different group of people thinks that my religion is different or
00:18:24.880funny or should be brought into under control or should be filtered take that into speech maybe right
00:18:31.280now i'm in the norm maybe right now my speech is not too outlandish or too crazy you might disagree
00:18:37.660but i'm not espousing violence racism sexism or anything else that as a culture we deem inappropriate
00:18:43.900but what if a different group comes into power that no longer likes what i have to say
00:18:48.800or how i think or if they begin to think that i'm extreme at some point anytime we allow any group of
00:18:56.980people to tell another group of people you can't think this you can't say this you can't write this
00:19:03.780and you can't go to places where it's talked about that is one step away from now what is happening
00:19:11.120to you because right now it may be the ideas that you value are shared by people who are in power
00:19:18.760and filtering those people who are not in power but just in one election one moment away
00:19:26.380and it can be flipped i'm only getting into this because you as a young person this is your future
00:19:34.360you have a future ahead of you and you will be developing your own ideas and your own values
00:19:39.260the way that you want to express yourself i'm not on twitter i'm not on facebook i'm not on any social
00:19:45.200media my children are not on any social media i'm 100 against twitter and facebook and instagram
00:19:50.660not only because in and of themselves are bad bad platforms but what is happening on them i'm not in
00:19:57.480favor of that okay this goes on but it's the same tone the whole time this principle is a principle that
00:20:05.440man i would love to support the school that he is the principal of or she it actually turns out to be a he
00:20:13.780it's dan uh it is um uh do i even have the name of the no no no uh it's barton thorne he was the
00:20:22.600principal of cordova high school and he's being represented by daniel sir he is the senior attorney
00:20:29.280the liberty justice center because uh this principal was uh was suspended for that speech he's now suing
00:20:40.780welcome to the program daniel sir good morning glenn great to be with you great to great to have you
00:20:48.380tell me what happened in this in this school in tennessee yeah glenn this is one of the most blatant
00:20:58.780examples of cancel culture we have seen in our country to date and you know you just read the
00:21:06.440transcript of of what principal thorne said the irony here is that he was warning his students
00:21:14.680about the dangers of cancel culture and the importance of free speech and he's the one who
00:21:21.460ends up getting canceled as his school administrators react to that speech by putting him on leave
00:21:29.980suspending him from his job kicking him out of his school building for seven weeks and he doesn't
00:21:36.420actually get back to doing the job he loves the students until he has to sue them and that's just
00:21:41.940this is wrong okay so what did they why did they kick him out so the school district kicked him out for
00:21:49.220for talking about basic civics right the the administrators at the district heard that that message that you just
00:21:58.600read and they called it unfortunate they said it didn't represent the values of their public school system
00:22:05.540what and they kicked him out of the school building what does it listen to the rest of this mccarthyism
00:22:10.560and all uh and all what happened how many people lost their jobs their lives even because of association
00:22:17.640or because of thoughts that they may have had or just wonderings can we not wonder anymore about things
00:22:24.160i want you to think about it and talk to your parents about it if you trust your teacher talk
00:22:29.020to your teacher about it be aware be in the loop as far as what's going on and not whether or not you
00:22:35.500agree or disagree with the people being filtered but this can happen to you one day can it and think
00:22:41.300about it and just remember the power is in our choices we choose our actions but not our consequences
00:22:48.300make wise choices make wise choices and have a great week what part of the principles uh do they not agree
00:22:57.460with it's crazy glenn right this is what public education has come to where if you talk about
00:23:06.020liberal orthodoxy in your classroom if you champion the black lives matter or other parts of the
00:23:13.860liberal agenda you're you're just fine but if you say something as non-controversial as free speech is
00:23:22.700important think for yourselves have respectful conversations with people you disagree with
00:23:28.480watch out because they're coming for your job like that's what happened here
00:23:33.560daniel how confident are you that this case it can be won and a profound message can be sent
00:23:45.160so this is about the constitution line right this is a fight fundamentally for free speech in a free
00:23:53.940society and i feel great when i got the constitution on my side as a lawyer and i feel great when i've got
00:24:00.420a client like barton thorn who is a great principal who is a good man who's the kind of person every
00:24:08.200parent wants teaching their students these important life lessons so i feel great about our case and i hope
00:24:16.380the school district does the right thing here which is not just giving barton his job back
00:24:21.560but acknowledging that what he said was right this is a teachable moment the school district needs to tell
00:24:29.520its students that if they talk about free speech in a paper they're not going to get an f needs to tell
00:24:35.840the other teachers in this district across the country it's okay to talk about the constitution
00:24:42.360to teach basic civics and not have to watch your back that the speech police are coming for you so
00:24:49.320hopefully the district does the right thing here and acknowledges what it did was wrong and illegal
00:24:54.620we're talking to daniel sir the senior attorney at the liberty justice center um daniel i i think it is
00:25:02.340it is important um really important not only that he's reinstated but i agree with you that they admit
00:25:09.100that they were wrong and that this uh what he said was right not just that they were wrong what he said
00:25:16.940was right you should be able to think for yourselves and discuss these things in a reasonable
00:25:23.920manner but i i would like to see is there any way to see something more uh than this is there anything
00:25:33.800that can be done that sends a message because this is happening everywhere and it's why people are not
00:25:41.400standing up and that's honestly glenn why programs like yours are so important we have to shine a light
00:25:50.180on this the only way we will fight back and win on cancel culture is if people have courage if they have
00:25:59.440the courage of their convictions if they stand up and if others stand with them and if we shine a light
00:26:06.900on these outrageous examples like what's happening to principal thorn and the message gets out
00:26:14.260thanks to platforms like the one you have that this is not acceptable in america we still believe in
00:26:21.480free speech in america and cancel culture isn't going to win because at the end of the day the first
00:26:27.800amendment the u.s constitution that's what we as americans value that's what we treasure and that's what
00:26:33.780we're going to stand for so still where was that story that came about the teachers being taught
00:26:40.760that children babies are racist arizona in arizona yeah and we were having a conversation about this
00:26:48.240i think maybe off the air this morning and i said i i honestly i am beginning to blame the teachers
00:26:56.440that are going through that and not saying anything because if teachers don't stand up if teachers would
00:27:03.300stand up and there's out of 100 there's 20 of them that would make a difference but they're afraid
00:27:09.840that they won't get a job or anything else but that's what you're for right that's what liberty
00:27:15.300justice center does liberty justice absolutely we're here to fight for people and defend free speech
00:27:21.620and thankfully you know principal thorn like he is a good man and he is a great principal and he has
00:27:30.780you know courage to to push back on that and and we need more people to show more courage
00:27:38.400to win this fight with cancel culture because arizona is another example like the liberal orthodoxy
00:27:46.180that they are teaching our kids it is pervasive it is everywhere we have a responsibility as parents
00:27:53.720to teach our kids the things that are right but we also as citizens want to encourage good teachers
00:28:00.620like principal thorn right to do the right thing and talk about the constitution with our kids we should
00:28:06.000celebrate that as a society uh daniel i'd like one of my producers to set up a private call with you
00:28:11.000uh sometime after the show uh i want to talk to you more about this uh but anything anything that you
