The Biden administration is in talks to settle on behalf of families affected by the administration's policy of separating immigrant families at the southern border. The White House says $450,000 will be paid to families who have been separated from their loved ones.
00:13:38.060I told you that in the end, you would have the progressives, the Marxists, the socialist communists, and the Islamists all working together.
00:13:53.800Now, I have a few different theories on how these two women have such different views about the Soviet Union.
00:13:59.620For context, if you go to a country that was in the former Soviet Union, you'd be shocked to see that people still sympathize with the Soviet ideology.
00:14:37.540I've bought and sold houses because I'm in radio and I've moved all around the country multiple times and never has it's never worked out for me.
00:16:05.040So there's there's two major groups that live in the former Soviet Union.
00:16:19.400First group is the older group who lived most of their lives in the Soviet Union, never had the chance to exercise their freedom and freedom like a muscle is, you know, when it's growing up in the Soviet Union.
00:16:29.700And it's like growing up in a full body cast.
00:16:32.460It made their muscles very, very weak.
00:16:34.760It made freedom much harder to maintain.
00:17:11.400But if you grew up in a nice and compliant area with quiet and a client compliant family, things could have been relatively stable for you.
00:17:20.380If the Soviet Union only offered one thing, it was sameness.
00:17:26.700The leaders told you exactly what to do, where to work, how to live, what to like, what to dislike, what to say, not what not to say, who to respect and who to hate.
00:17:36.140And when people just disappeared, you didn't ask for it.
00:17:45.020And when the Soviet Union collapsed, it was as if a whole whole countries of people who had been living in full body casts had been removed from the cast and said, go walk, run.
00:18:47.780She didn't live in the aftermath of the collapse.
00:18:52.140So she saw what it was for the first time over here.
00:18:57.740And it was like waking out of a dream for for Sparks.
00:19:01.720But when it was happening, Omarosa, Omarova was in the universities and she was learning and teaching and she was learning it in Wisconsin.
00:19:10.340Which makes me question, what if she got her ideas from us, from our universities?
00:19:20.560What if her ideas were justified by her time at UW-Madison and Northwestern?
00:19:25.980What if they were seamlessly folded into UNC Chapel Hill and Cornell and Georgetown?
00:19:36.840If I tried to imagine the perfect ideological refugee for a refuge for a displaced Soviet, I couldn't think of a better one than our universities at the time.
00:19:45.080Now she's become wildly successful, working her way up to the nominee of the comptroller of our economy, all without ever having to give up the ideals of the Soviet Union.
00:19:58.740You have to assume she thinks like a communist.
00:22:43.320All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing.
00:22:46.320It is going to get harder and harder to get a loan.
00:22:48.720And I think that you now see why I have been saying that for the last year.
00:22:53.320I've been seeing what they're doing with the financial markets.
00:22:56.300And I mean, this comptroller, you imagine if you are a Trump supporter and you have to get your loans from the bank of the Fed run by this woman.
00:23:06.040It's going to get very difficult and it's going to happen faster than you think.
00:23:10.700You won't recognize your country a year from now.
00:24:09.480Yesterday, the president announced a White House partnership with the World Economic Forum for the Great Reset.
00:24:18.640The White House and the United States government now has a public partner, a public private partnership with 20 major companies that provide raw materials.
00:24:30.700This is all part of the change that this woman I was just telling you about with a comptroller is going to help herald in.
00:26:37.260They didn't care what you put on them.
00:26:38.840You could do anything you wanted on them.
00:26:41.160But after Parler was taken down by Amazon Web Services, after Texas Right to Life was taken down by GoDaddy, we started to realize, we realized, holy smokes, we need this stuff.
00:26:51.740And the good news for the right, trying to get these things up so that Christians and conservatives and even just liberals who are in good favor can still continue to have a voice, is this is not new technology.
00:27:04.040We're just at a place right now where the people who control it, the people who control the commanding heights of the U.S. economy and the global economy, have decided that Christians and conservatives and even doctors who just disagree are not allowed to have a voice anymore.
00:27:16.560Okay, so tell me how this works, and it's just, you don't become another Parler, which, you know, stood and then was just canceled by, you know, all of the servers and everything else.
00:27:31.480How deeply into this will this protect voices?
00:27:38.440We are, what destroyed Parler is Amazon Web Services came around.
00:27:42.760One of the things that destroyed them, and they said that you can no longer have the services.
00:27:47.160You can no longer have the infrastructure that you're built on.
00:27:49.680It's essentially they just collapsed the ground underneath Parler, so it collapsed.
00:27:53.700And at the same time, they got hit by Google Play, and they got hit by the Apple Store, so they weren't even allowed to sell their product.
00:28:00.100We are answering that part of the problem that Amazon Web Services poised.
00:28:04.740We are the ground that you can build these sites on.
00:28:07.320And so you're uncancellable by any existing U.S. law if you're on with Right Forge.
00:28:14.380They would have to dig the wires out of the ground, seize the server farms, which is, you know, this is a place that we're in a dangerous place in this world.
00:28:22.000You're just talking about the Great Reset.
00:28:24.160This is something that could happen someday down the road.
00:28:26.800Right now, with existing U.S. telecom law, we can still have this ground, and that's what Right Forge would do.
00:28:33.940So you won't get Parlered if you're on with us.
00:28:35.920And when other sites had been taken down previously and ripped down by their server providers, we've gotten them back up.
00:28:43.740We're defending them against the hacking attacks, and that's the business we're in is free speech.
00:28:47.660Okay, so first of all, where'd you get the – I mean, because this is wildly expensive, wildly expensive to do.
00:28:56.640The good news for us is a lot of people early in January realized this at the same time.
00:29:02.080So Silicon Valley has long had political people who are involved with it, not just with the left.
00:29:07.260A lot of libertarian folks, a lot of Ron Paul kind of types.
00:33:23.980They're using it any way they want to really hurt them.
00:33:27.860If we had 50 percent of the country take our reserves out of those banks and put them in our locally owned and operated banks, that would be quite a message to send.
00:33:40.840And I'm telling you, it is the bank that is going to lead the way on the Great Reset.
00:33:54.640If you have money in any of these big banks and you're not for the Great Reset and ESGs and an entirely new replacement for the free market, make a statement, tell them why, and transfer your money to a local bank.
00:34:14.740And this is also why the SEC is currently threatening Coinbase so that they cannot give people interest on their money.
00:34:33.140They go along with all the regulations.
00:34:34.780This is not some like, you know, libertarian, we're going to light the banking system on fire type of argument.
00:34:41.120And here they are just wanting to give people a relatively reasonable amount instead of the 0.1% you get from these big banks when you leave your money in their account.
00:34:50.380And they are, they threatened them and they will sue them.
00:34:56.100They say if they open up a service that they worked with the government to set up in the first place.
00:37:04.640There you're going to find not only this amazing offer, but discounts on 150 different my pillow products from the Giza dream sheets to the mattress toppers to the slippers and more.
00:44:18.360Now, why can't we get those refugees out?
00:44:23.320Because the United States State Department has kicked us in the knees and hobbled us and no country is going to take any refugees from anyone because the State Department is blocking them.
00:44:38.560It is my feeling that all of these refugees are going to be coming to the United States of America.
00:44:44.460I can speak for the 5,000 Christians that we have taken out.
00:47:16.940The president is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with the individuals and families who are currently in litigation with the U.S. government.
00:47:25.900You know, DOJ can obviously speak more to that process.
00:47:28.980The president was, what he was reacting to was the dollar figure that was mentioned, that you mentioned to him yesterday.
00:47:36.040As press accounts to date indicate, there's been press accounts on this.
00:47:40.280DOJ made clear to the plaintiffs that the reported figures are higher than anywhere that a settlement can land.
00:49:11.120As you were leaving for your overseas trip, there were reports that were surfacing that your administration is planning to pay illegal immigrants who are separated from their families at the border up to $450,000 each, possibly a million dollars per family.
00:49:27.060Do you think that that might incentivize more people to come over illegally?
00:49:32.020If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah, but it's not true.
00:52:28.220So why is the president doing this now?
00:52:31.100By the way, if you think you escaped because you are a business under 100, he is now working on the plan that will be released soon for all companies, no matter what size.
00:52:42.880So you will now have to get the vaccine mandate or you will not work.
00:52:51.040You will have to get the vaccine mandate or your company will be fined out of business.
00:54:29.080Because if they can do this through OSHA, through OSHA, cutting out everything else, cutting out the entire process, if the government, I'm sorry, if the president can say, I'm going to reach in and destroy businesses, I'm going to destroy lives.
00:55:10.900If they if we allow them to cross this line, there is no freedom left in America.
00:55:21.140If you think they won't come for you, if you just go along with this, I'm telling you right now, the regulation is coming on how you can spend your money, where you can spend your money.
00:55:35.160The regulations will come for your speech.
00:56:10.380The people on the border, our border patrol.
00:56:13.240I know you can't go on strike legally, but boy, it would be surely awful if because you were having to do the vaccine mandate, if a lot of you started to get sick at the airports, because you know who will raise hell on that?
00:59:04.260The OSHA statute is written so broadly.
00:59:06.760The only thing it requires is that the thing they're asking is, quote, reasonably necessary or appropriate to provide safe or healthful employment or places of employment.
00:59:16.600Now, you might not think that the vaccine is important, but it doesn't matter when these things are written like this.
00:59:21.900It just matters if the Biden administration thinks it's appropriate.
00:59:43.820I mentioned to you, I talked to a small business owner here in Dallas who's in this situation, has over 100 employees, and doesn't want any part of this.
01:04:37.700And now a gross expansion of the powers that the executive branch should have.
01:04:45.160They're trying to force private sector employers.
01:04:50.200They're trying to bully citizens about their health that are that are very personal, that are quite invasive.
01:04:59.560And they're doing it because they think they know what's best for us.
01:05:02.880It's a very paternalistic, patronizing view that this administration has.
01:05:08.020And they're using, again, grossly overreaching and overstepping the bounds of what the OSHA or any other agency should be doing in terms of our liberties and our freedoms.
01:05:21.440So the problem that I have with this is, I mean, I don't disagree with the vaccine.
01:05:25.800If you want to get the vaccine, get the vaccine.
01:05:28.060I just think this government is is so far out of line on so many things.
01:05:35.720And when they take OSHA and they make this part of their gig, it is also then very easy to make climate change guns, even racism.
01:05:49.820They said racism was a bigger pandemic in America than covid.
01:05:55.060So OSHA could do anything at this point.
01:05:59.540And that is truly terrifying or regulate our lives under the guise of what they call the social cost of carbon in climate change.
01:06:09.000Glenn, you see this gross expansion again of federal powers trying to dictate how we educate our children, what we teach them, what we how we defend ourselves in our homes.
01:06:44.980And the vaccine can be effective, especially for those who don't have natural immunity.
01:06:50.920That's another thing that never is discussed, especially by mainstream media, that so many Americans have natural immunity.
01:06:59.020And that could be as effective, if not more than the vaccine.
01:07:02.760So instead of dictating and acting like, you know, an emperor, our president should be trying to empower average everyday Americans to make good, healthy, informed decisions that work for them and not coerce.
01:07:19.360That's private companies into doing his will.
01:07:27.280Well, how do you how do you how do you argue against because you're going to come up in court with this and they're they're going to say, well, we do this for children.
01:08:04.960Because Stu was talking about, you know, a friend of his who has 100 employees plus, and he said there's some of their best employees and he's not going to fire them and he doesn't want to comply.
01:08:19.820Well, that's the really pernicious part of this, Glenn, is that the administration has not left companies any easy answer.
01:08:29.500They can either capitulate or stand potentially in violation of the law and be fined 13 or 14 thousand dollars or 10 times that if they deem in their discretion that it was wanted and willful.
01:08:45.660And I hope that all of your listeners out there can appreciate that the attorneys general that we're filing lawsuits.
01:08:51.640We just joined Texas in in in their lawsuit.
01:08:55.760They're therefore filing in other jurisdictions and other circuits, just like we did last week with regard to the federal mandate.
01:09:03.660We're going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court to get relief for those business owners so they don't have that incredibly hard decision to make.
01:09:13.420So they don't have a sort of Damocles hanging over their heads.
01:09:17.260The administration has not left the average American with any good choice.
01:09:21.740If the Supreme Court rules as they did in the 40s with with FDR or in the 30s on the Commerce Clause, if they rule that OSHA has this ability to exercise, what does that mean for our rights?
01:09:45.640If that is the precedent, then that parade of horribles that you started the segment talking about the expansion of government power and invasiveness and the diminution of our personal liberties is absolutely going to be a reality.
01:10:00.720Because if OSHA, which is supposed to regulate a very narrow workplace environment, is allowed massive and expansive powers to be able to influence one third of the entire U.S. workforce, then where does it stop?
01:10:19.320It is a horrible, slippery slope, and you are rightfully concerned, and average Americans are rightfully concerned.
01:10:26.760That's why we have banded together as state AGs to make sure that we're advocating, that we're holding the line and sending the message back to the administration that we won't sit idly by and let the federal government take even more and more of our liberties.
01:10:45.480And again, Glenn, we can talk about, look at this, the administration purports that this is an emergency, that it's so urgent that this goes away.
01:10:59.160Because, and then this is the justification for OSHA's power to be so expansive.
01:11:04.480Well, President Biden announced this months ago and waited, I believe, personally, for the Virginia election to be finished because he predicted and he thought that Glenn Youngkin was going to lose in Virginia and McAuliffe was going to win, so he didn't want to rock the boat.
01:11:23.580Well, conveniently, when do they announce, when does it get published in the Federal Register?
01:11:30.560Immediately after, immediately after the Virginia election.
01:11:33.500So, again, to me, this is about politics.
01:11:36.580I don't think the president believes that this is constitutional.
01:11:39.920I think he's just using it as a scare tactic, as a coercive tactic, because, again, I think he believes that he's the emperor.
01:12:28.480I don't think the court is going to allow a third of the American population to sit in limbo and, you know, be stuck with this Hobson's choice.
01:12:38.520That is what we're trying to expedite.
01:13:23.820And if they do the testing part of this, by the way, most of the union requirements are going to mean that the company has to pay for the testing.
01:13:52.040They will negotiate with groups, but they will not negotiate with people who say, no, I make my own choices in the workplace and in my life.
01:15:07.120Is it even constitutional to have to allow Congress to assign this much power that they are supposed to be dealing with to another branch of government?
01:24:28.360To be able to do things from the right, you know, that hopefully make people on both sides of the aisle laugh is just, you know, we think it's so important.
01:24:37.280So, Kyle, when you started Babylon Bee, and, you know, through this whole, this whole, how long have you been doing it?
01:24:46.520It feels like that, but, and everybody always says, you know, I feel like the Babylon Bee's been around forever, but we launched in March of 2016, so five and a half years ago, yeah.
01:25:17.980I mean, literally, the Babylon Bee launched right in the middle of the 2016 election.
01:25:22.320I think it was just before Trump was confirmed as the nominee for the Republicans, and so the left was just beginning to start their slow descent into madness.
01:25:31.900And we on the right didn't really know what to think of Trump, you know, and it was just this, it was kind of this lightning rod for that cultural moment.
01:25:39.120And conservatives and Christians, I think, really latched on to the way that we were able to kind of cut through all that noise using humor and satire and sarcasm and all that.
01:25:50.040I mean, you are going down with, you know, I think, Mad Magazine, The Onion was great for a long time.
01:25:57.860I don't even know if they're still in business.
01:25:59.520And now you guys have taken that crown.
01:26:03.540And literally, you're doing stuff that in the very best days of Saturday Night Live, they would have done.
01:26:11.780And it's just remarkable because I know you don't have a large team.
01:26:21.140I mean, the first few years of the Babylon Bee's life, like you said, people thought it was around forever.
01:26:26.180And it was just two of us in our garages really kicking headlines around, throwing things up, figuring out how to use Photoshop, all of that stuff.
01:26:35.200And we still have a fairly small team of writers.
01:26:38.300I think we have five or six occasional contributors and regular staff writers that send in headlines.
01:26:44.040And so it is a very small team, and it's, you know, shoot from the hip.
01:26:48.180And we come up with stuff kind of right in the moment.
01:26:51.400So that's that super timely satire where we're satirizing stuff that happens that very day.
01:26:56.080So usually, conservatives, they tend not to be funny.
01:27:07.260They're the people behind the scenes making it work and making sure that everybody gets a big paycheck.
01:27:14.040But they're not usually the artists involved.
01:27:18.000How difficult has it been to find the people to that are really, truly funny that can write?
01:27:27.100Well, I think I think there's a few things going on there.
01:27:30.060I think conservatives have have typically been bad at comedy and art because we tend to put the message first.
01:27:38.900We see everything as being having to be efficient and have a point.
01:27:43.040You know, so when we make a movie or a comedy or a joke, it's like we're trying to get our message across rather than just trying to be funny or just trying to make something good.
01:27:54.860And the left has kind of had a stranglehold on that.
01:27:57.400But in recent years, it seems like there's been a shift, right, because the left is starting to get so self-serious and their politics have become such this super zealous religion that they're starting to be able to be the ones who can't take a joke a lot of the time.
01:28:13.420And I also think that, you know, it's a little bit of a misconception that there's a ton of bad comedy on the left, just as there's a ton of bad comedy on the right.
01:28:21.700It's just that it never really gets hung around their neck as bad liberal comedy or, you know, we hear a bad liberal joke and we just think, oh, that's a bad joke.
01:28:28.880You hear a bad conservative joke and you go, oh, all conservatives are not funny.
01:37:50.660And the companies, I'm still on the fence.
01:37:55.000I don't, I haven't been knowledgeable enough about all this with the businesses and mandates and whatnot.
01:38:04.400But there's a need now, even though perhaps the government said otherwise previous, because the data keeps changing and there's more and more people that are still not getting vaccinated.
01:38:18.740And companies are going to have to pay medical.
01:38:21.380If there's health insurance that companies offer, they're going to be paying out of the Wadoozy for their employees if they're out with COVID or whatever.
01:38:30.860But it's a numbers game and people don't seem to be looking at the numbers of how many human beings have already been killed by COVID and how many are populated, I'm sorry, vaccinated versus not.
01:38:51.780And it's just going to be this vicious cycle with this virus going around and mutations and whatnot because of people not making this a political thing and not willing to mask up for how long?
01:39:09.160I mean, this could have been resolved a long time ago if people had just done what they needed to do and, and, you know, to keep this virus from spreading the way it is.
01:39:29.200I'm going to have to hold you over on the break because I'd like to answer some of these questions for you or, or maybe just ask you some questions.
01:39:36.580Um, you said if they just would have done what they were supposed to do, what was it that they were supposed to do that would have, would have stopped this?
01:39:44.720So we, we would have been done with this.
