00:09:47.520You cancel the Keystone pipeline, and that makes us dependent on energy elsewhere.
00:09:58.780We're no longer, well, I think we are right now, but we don't, we're not projecting to be energy independent or oil independent in the very near future.
00:10:09.260So you do that, then the colonial pipeline goes down, which you don't even mention the gas prices, up a buck now.
00:10:19.480Well, we've got to stop all of the pipelines and stuff.
00:10:26.540Then you go, and you tell that company who had their pipeline hijacked by Russia,
00:10:34.380you tell them, well, it's a private issue, and you pay the money.
00:10:41.180I mean, sure, negotiate with terrorists.
00:10:45.200And then the next week, you grant pipelines to Russia into Europe?
00:10:55.920Now, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, no matter how much they say I am.
00:11:01.760I'm really not, but I would bet you that you could make a pretty strong case of Russian interference.
00:11:11.500What, doesn't that look like doing a favor for Russia?
00:11:15.680Oh, by the way, the Republicans grilled the top spy lawyer nominee because he's the, you know, he'll be the intelligence community top lawyer.
00:11:30.480Unfortunately for him, he did some work for the Chinese government and Huawei.
01:10:14.260But like, I think like, in a way, it's almost like a like Pepsi would run and should run our,
01:10:21.020you know, commercials against Coke like this, like a competitor, right?
01:10:24.880That is trying to say, like, look at all the bad things that are happening with this particular company, because while it's its motivation seems to be stop getting involved in woke politics, it's not necessarily about that, right?
01:10:37.300Like, it's just profiling really bad things that have happened with the company.
01:10:41.020Well, the company wants you to forget.
01:10:43.160So the problem is, is that they know Pepsi is never going to do that because Pepsi doesn't want to get on the other side of the woke culture.
01:10:52.400You know, they're probably most likely part of it.
01:11:10.880It's called Morton Williams supermarkets, and it's caught up in the conflicts on the masks.
01:11:18.000Morton Williams customers are sharply divided over the grocery chain's decision.
01:11:23.380Controversy kicked off Monday when the popular supermarket emailed customers about its decision to comply to comply with the new CDC coronavirus guidelines starting Wednesday, when New York State will drop the mask mandate.
01:11:41.220The short email just explained the new policy and the Big Apple Grocer said we will not ask for proof of vaccination.
01:11:50.580Well, that was stomping on a hornet's nest.
01:11:56.320And the the chain put out another email just a few hours later.
01:12:03.600We recently sent you an email explaining our policy regarding masks in doing so.
01:12:10.360We knew that we were stepping into a hornet's nest and that many would feel that this is a premature decision better suited for a later day.
01:12:17.160But we didn't know that we would be held hostage.
01:12:42.700They're now telling the mask, the non mask wearing population of New York that they have to be kind to the mask wearing people of New York who are not following the science.
01:13:44.180The CDC, if you want to follow the science.
01:13:47.520Then why aren't you following the science when the CDC scientists reluctantly finally come to the conclusion that you don't need to wear a mask?
01:14:01.060Well, I and I think you hit on the most frustrating part about this, because, yes, it's really frustrating when they don't follow the science and all of that.
01:14:09.380The excruciating part of this is is being berated for a year for not wearing a mask outside by the left killers.
01:14:20.860And now the second the CDC admits what we've all known the entire time, that there's no outdoor transmission largely of this virus.
01:14:30.020There have been zero documented cases outside of close conversation outdoors in the entire world since the beginning of the pandemic.
01:14:41.080According to that number, let me just say you that that number is zero, zero.
01:14:50.340So zero is the number for an entire year.
01:14:53.040And we've taken people screaming at us for following the science.
01:14:57.520And now day one, after the CDC decides to admit what has been known about vaccinations for a very long time, that this is not something you need to worry about.
01:15:09.400Then we're like they're like, oh, gosh, please don't criticize.
01:15:13.520You guys aren't going to get upset about this, are you?
01:15:16.060You guys aren't going to start criticizing people who make different choices than you.
01:15:20.220Everyone has a right for their own decision making and risk assessment.
01:15:24.680And you need to make sure you don't be mean to others.
01:15:28.300You're telling us that after this year, you're coming to us with that nonsense after all of this?
01:15:35.280After Rachel Maddow actually had the set.
01:16:37.160I wouldn't like it if it was reversed.
01:16:40.080And, you know, they've been pushing it and pushing it and pushing it.
01:16:44.260And now that the science agrees with those who didn't wear a mask or don't want to wear a mask anymore, now the science says, yep, you don't have to wear a mask.
01:16:56.420They're going crazy and asking for mercy.
01:16:58.880And yet they bashed this supermarket so badly for just complying with the law and science that they humbly withdrew and said, well, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:17:43.120I just played those those three commercials from the the consumer information site, the one that was talking about, you know, hey, Nike, you suck.
01:17:58.880I like those because it's us sending a message and we just don't send messages.
01:20:54.600Two, we're going to give you some perspective on what happened in Israel, what is happening in Israel, what the truth is behind that, and also a little on abortion and this case that is being taken up by the Supreme Court.
01:21:13.080I heard a very positive and interesting theory.
01:21:16.520It's just a theory, but it seemed to make sense to me last night when I was talking to a couple of friends about why would the Supreme Court take this decision up?
01:21:37.440All right, timeshare termination team is there.
01:21:40.160If you are, well, if you're on your way this weekend and you're going to sit through some seminar that you just come and then, you know, you don't have to buy into the timeshare.
01:22:20.640If you have one, you can get out, but you need the biggest attorney team on the planet to help you do it.
01:22:28.720Somebody who does this full time, and that's where timeshare termination team comes in.
01:22:33.080A lot of companies out there, but they have a dedicated team of in-house attorneys that work exclusively for the company, and they specialize in timeshare cancellation law.
01:22:44.060If they can't get you out, 100% money-back guarantee.
01:22:47.500And if you call them and tell them, and I sent you, you will save, what is it, 20%.
01:22:54.260That's a great deal, and you don't lose anything.
01:22:58.220If they don't get you out, 100% money-back guarantee.
01:24:57.040And so they're moving that to slowly make this their first pitch in with something scientific and not something that is religious or based on morals, per se.
01:25:18.480I mean, I don't know if, you know, the idea that they have some kind of political angle that they're looking at is something I wish that they wouldn't do, but maybe it's just the reality of the world, right?
01:25:28.100So if that's the case, the viability aspect is a good one, because as a political matter, most Americans are not, if not totally against abortion, want restrictions after the first trimester.
01:25:41.120So viability, which is always changing, which actually proves that the whole idea of viability is nonsense, actually.
01:25:54.340And even if you don't change anything else, eventually we get down to the baby is viable at any time, you know, just because of science and the way it is, it's moving forward.
01:26:07.140Let's talk a little bit about the unless you want you have something else you want to go into your article on abortion was great, by the way.
01:26:17.220I just wanted to make the quick point that that the idea that, you know, you don't have technology to save someone doesn't mean that they're not alive.
01:26:24.800In the 1700s, we couldn't save people from infection.
01:27:19.380I mean, listen, Israel is an imperfect plate democracy or, you know, a democratic nation, like many others, a liberal nation where there are courts of law and, and, uh, people are allowed to defend themselves and the nation is allowed to defend themselves.
01:27:31.080So, you know, I have no problem with people who are critical of Israel, but when you take the side of Hamas, which is just, it's a death cult essentially that wants not only to kill Israeli civilians, they want their own civilians martyred in this cause.
01:27:44.420I just, it escapes me how anyone, anyone with any kind of moral understanding of the world can, can make an equivalency between the two.
01:27:53.920Israel is clearly defending itself on that.
01:27:56.440Whether you believe Palestinians should have a state or not, this is not about that.
01:27:59.880Hamas doesn't accept a two state solution.
01:28:04.900And, uh, you know, every country, any country, our country, we would respond probably in, in a more, more aggressive way than, than even the Israelis are doing.
01:28:14.140Now, people talk about civilian, civilian casualties.
01:28:16.920If you think about what Hamas is doing, they're embedded within civilian populations.
01:28:21.100Then you, do you realize that the amount of civilians who are unfortunately dying in this conflict is actually rather small compared to other ones.
01:28:28.660So I just, it's hard for me to even understand this one.
01:28:31.720Many, you know, most things on the left, I try to understand their point of view, but this Hamas boosterism within, you know, I don't understand it.
01:28:40.060But I do think a lot of it has to do that with the fact that we're talking about Jews here.
01:28:44.200And I can't be dissuaded of that by anyone.
01:28:49.880Well, that was, um, I had, uh, Dershowitz on yesterday at talking about this and he said pretty much the same thing.
01:28:55.620He said, look, you don't see the squad or anybody outraged by Tibet and what's happening in Tibet or, you know, what's happening with the Uyghurs.
01:29:07.540And he said, the reason is the only logical conclusion he can come to is because their enemy isn't Jews.
01:29:15.080He said, if they were Jews, they'd probably care all of a sudden.
01:29:18.840Right. And not just that they're Jews, maybe that they're Westerners, you know, in the sense of colonizing this area and people have a bad grasp of the history of this situation.
01:29:29.000They always want to go back in time and restart history in 1948 or 1967 or even before.
01:31:48.480It's, it, it, it, uh, takes away agency from people and just makes it all about the way they're born, which is the exact opposite of what, you know, Martin Luther King Jr.
01:31:59.560Um, so I think that, that in many ways they transpose that kind of thinking onto every situation.
01:32:06.100So like Israel, it's about white people and brown people.
01:32:10.640When in fact, hundreds of thousands of Israelis are refugees from Arab nations who never lived in the West, who look just like Arab people do.
01:32:19.720And, uh, you know, but they can't understand that, that not everything is about race.
01:32:23.720Because I don't know if we're ever going to wake up.
01:32:25.840I am actually, I've always sort of thought that, you know, rhetoric about the end of the country, about the end of the constitution was overdone.
01:32:34.720I think it's in real trouble because I don't think that the left progressive left at least believes in neutral principles that are in the constitution, free speech.
01:32:43.880You know, individual rights of any kind.
01:33:19.480Um, how much of the responsibility of this?
01:33:22.840And this is one hope that I have that Americans will wake up because they saw low gas prices, jobs being created, not phantom jobs, but jobs prices kept low, uh, and peace in the middle East and the right track with China and Russia.
01:33:41.460And now all of it is coming undone all at once.
01:33:45.560And my hope is that people will actually see, well, wait a minute.
01:33:51.820Yeah, I didn't like the way he tweeted and I didn't like some of the things he did.
01:33:55.460But compared to this, I want more of that and not this.
01:34:02.480And I, I think there's, there's the possibility that they're exposing themselves because correct me if I'm wrong, Biden's policy, the reversal of the, the foreign policy that Trump had is the reason we have this happening, uh, over in Israel.
01:34:24.600I think part of it is, is definitely the reversal having to do with Iran, having to do with releasing funds to the Palestinian authority, having to do with the Palestinian authority, trying to create a problem, to push the Biden administration, to push Israel into some sort of deal, things like that.
01:34:41.980Um, and I think there will be blowback in the larger sense to what's going on because if things turn poorly in the economy, people react that way and they have for a long time.
01:34:50.900And in fact, even though Donald Trump lost, the Republicans actually did relatively well in that election as far as the house goes and things like that.
01:34:57.720So, yeah, I think there'd be some reaction.
01:34:59.520My problem with that is that that's, you know, economic and, and, and something I agree with.
01:35:06.860However, there are underlying issues having to do with the constitution that I'm not sure people are really, uh, you know, grasping or, you know, my own kids go to school and the things they learn are really off to me, to say the least.
01:35:52.600Imagine that you're one of the millions of Americans just now trying to get back into the job market by searching job postings and actually applying for them.
01:36:01.100Now imagine that some cyber criminal is targeting people just like you by posting fake jobs designed to trick you into revealing your personal information and your social security number.
01:36:13.580That is actually happening and you have to be protected against it.
01:36:17.820It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft do affect our lives every day because every day we're putting information at risk when we go online.
01:36:27.480And in an instant, a cyber criminal could harm what's yours.
01:36:32.320I mean, look what they did to the pipeline.
01:36:34.440You don't think they'd do that to little old me or little old you.
01:36:37.640No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.
01:36:42.700But seeing that Joe Biden is in the captain's chair right now, I don't think anybody in the government is actually caring about this.
01:36:51.300And you need to keep what's yours, your life lock will help you do that.
01:38:09.400Remember, Stu, we used to talk all the time about how stupid Hillary Clinton was for leading the campaign to get these vaccines taken by the government and take those patents so they could make them for everybody.
01:39:21.440And there's nobody to bitch to except to Hillary Clinton and the leftist who thought, you know, that really should not be private property.
01:40:40.840It was yet another story of one voice fighting and fighting and fighting for this technology that everybody said wasn't going to work for decades and decades until someone said, maybe that will work.
01:40:54.500And they're talking about not only the COVID thing, which at this point, we've talked about the pandemic basically being over because of these vaccines, among other things.
01:41:03.420But in addition, they think that they may be around the corner from a cure to the common cold.
01:41:08.160And all of these other types of longstanding illnesses because of this technology that this one woman said, no, this will work.
01:41:45.220So, if you like free books, how about the number one book I recommend in terms of preparedness for what's coming for the U.S. if the economy doesn't turn around?
01:41:57.740I talked to you earlier this month about the book called The Crisis Preparedness Handbook.
01:42:16.860Well, Goldline, who is always interested in people being prepared, decided to buy up a bunch of these books.
01:42:23.960And for the first 75 customers today that are qualified, they'll receive a free copy of the Crisis Preparedness Handbook shipped directly to you.
01:42:35.840The first 75 people who acquire precious metals this week, new and existing clients will qualify.
01:43:49.600One of the things that makes America so different and really the head of innovation and industry has been for so long,
01:44:04.780we have protected private property rights and now through taxation that could go as high as 65 percent,
01:44:16.380the taxing the corporations and our Treasury Secretary is over in the EU trying to get all countries on board to have a minimum tax for all corporations.
01:44:28.160That's crazy, crazy, taking away your right to move away from an oppressive tax where they are taking your profits.
01:46:01.540It is great to be here, and I couldn't agree more with what you just said, that this is our protections of property rights are in our Constitution.
01:46:14.520No private property will be taken for public use without just compensation.
01:46:18.920And we apply that to intellectual property.
01:46:22.120It is why we have had the miraculous drug makers that we have that have done so much for our health and for the well-being of not just American citizens,
01:46:32.480but world citizens because of our innovation.
01:46:35.300It was actually Moderna that spent 10 years working on this MRNA.
01:47:40.440So remember, intellectual property protections, the entire regime is actually done by law and it's Congress's remit.
01:47:49.200And if you go through history, there's been many, many major pieces of legislation that explains how long you get patents
01:47:56.460and under what circumstances and when are things available to be made in a generic form, et cetera.
01:48:01.980And the Elizabeth Warrens of the world know that they can't convince Congress to change that.
01:48:07.100So their new strategy is to try to erode these property rights in trade negotiations or get the WTO to cancel them.
01:48:15.820She was at a Senate finance hearing just last week and she said special protections for drug companies are an even bigger issue than COVID-19 alone.
01:48:26.760She actually said that she suggested that the fact that drug companies are allowed to create technology
01:48:33.640and then retain a right to profit from their innovation is a bigger problem than the pandemic we just dealt with.
01:48:42.500This is just a it's delusional thinking.
01:48:47.400It is a complete lack of understanding of human nature.
01:48:51.900If you want cancer to be cured, then give people the incentive.
01:48:57.740Do you know how much money people will make if they come up with a shot that stops cancer?
01:49:04.640If you take away that incentive, why would they invest for decades of not being able to turn a profit just in the hopes of eventually getting there and being able to turn a profit?
01:49:20.660It goes against human nature to take away the reward at the end.
01:49:24.760Absolutely, and especially bear in mind, too, that for every one of these innovations that actually works, hundreds do not.
01:49:35.440And so those one innovation that matters, it's all the more important that they retain that intellectual property right
01:49:42.240and the ability to get a return on their investment because they're doing all kinds of research that this is the nature of science.
01:49:49.780It just doesn't work out. And we're not just talking about the drug companies.
01:49:54.360We're talking about the investors who need to put forward the capital to to fund that 10 years of research.
01:50:00.740Who's going to do that if at the end of the day the government is going to steal?
01:50:05.300Because, by the way, that is what we are talking about.
01:50:07.680The government is going to steal all of your hard work and take it for themselves and give it to the rest of the world.
01:50:13.640Well, it's easy who's going to invest in that, a public-private partnership with the federal government.
01:50:21.360I don't know if you saw the speech that the president gave in front of Congress a couple of weeks ago.
01:50:27.020But before that speech, he talked to the reporters, and it was reported verbatim by CNN and others,
01:50:34.920that the president said, look, the big question of this century is whether a republic and a democracy like ours can even compete with countries like China or Russia.
01:50:48.800They have a system over there that they partner with the corporations, if that's what you want to call it,
01:50:56.420partner with the corporations, and they can get things done much faster.
01:51:00.900They are on the road of China is the new model.
01:51:12.740Well, it's a completely fuzzy view of what actually happens.
01:51:20.180What you're actually seeing in Russia and in China are the governments, in the case of China,
01:51:26.900China, a communist government, in essence, commandeering and forcing business to do its will.
01:51:34.120And they might be able to get some things done quickly.
01:51:36.900But if you've seen some of the recent stories about, for instance, China's Sinovac vaccine,
01:51:42.740it turns out that, you know, they were very quiet about their final trials.
01:51:47.280And it's because it looks to be far less effective than China was promoting.
01:51:51.960It was it was propaganda in terms of the claim that it was this extraordinary success.
01:51:58.080Now, that's very different from what I actually thought was an incredibly amazing model that we saw in the United States,
01:52:04.560in which at a time of emergency, the federal government here recognized that private ingenuity is always better than government.
01:52:13.220And this was certainly the view under the last administration.
01:52:16.480And they reached out and asked if they could have the help of the private sector.
01:52:21.340And you saw this extraordinary American corporate community come together and offer drive through testing at CBS.
01:52:28.840And you saw Abbott ramp up this amazing new testing regime in the space of weeks,
01:52:34.540which, by the way, a good thing we had that private sector innovation,
01:52:37.940because this was after the federal government had failed in its own first attempt to make it make a test to diagnose COVID.
01:52:45.500So that's the kind of partnership that works where you acknowledge that the free market does things better than government coercion.
01:52:53.780But but you, you know, as well as Biden's proposing, right?
01:52:58.000And it's not the model that any of the Democrats wanted when Trump was in office.
01:53:01.980I can't I can't count the number of times those Democratic politicians were saying,
01:53:07.340you've got to just enforce this by by telling these companies this is what you're going to do.
01:53:15.760And Trump kept saying over and over again, why would I do that?
01:53:19.380I've just asked them and they're doing it. Why would I you know, why would I evoke some new executive order where I'm just I'm now the head of their company and I'm telling them what to do.
01:53:31.940And they they were begging for him to do that.
01:53:36.320And thank God he didn't. But that's where their mind is.
01:53:39.640Yep. As soon as Biden came in, they made an enormous show the first month about how Biden was going to mobilize the Defense Production Act and boss all these companies around and tell them what to do.
01:53:50.660They were already doing it and they're happy to do it.
01:53:56.380I mean, people love to trash on corporate America.
01:53:58.700But look at the number of companies that, you know, immediately offered compassionately the number of small businesses that continued to pay their employees even while they were seeing the bills pile up.
01:54:10.960You know, American business men and women are the extraordinary backbone in this country.
01:54:17.760And one last little point on this, you know, you also see Democrats saying, well, you know,
01:54:21.600the federal government poured billions of dollars into Operation Warp Speed and therefore this ought to belong to the people.
01:54:29.600Actually, this was the federal government recognizing that that cash infusion was going to speed things along and that it was going to be to the benefit of the American people.
