The Great America Show - COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America podcast with Lou Dobbs,

00:00:04.200 always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.

00:00:09.200 And now here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.

00:00:14.380 Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Great America show.

00:00:18.440 The Marxist left's radical agenda has recently run into unexpected headwinds.

00:00:24.560 President Biden's infrastructure bill required the votes of 13 turncoat rhinos for passage.

00:00:31.880 Voters in Virginia made it clear parents will decide what is taught in their public schools,

00:00:37.200 not the government, not the teachers' unions,

00:00:40.380 and definitely not the failed gubernatorial Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe,

00:00:46.220 who declared a week before the election that parents had no right to tell schools what to teach.

00:00:52.640 Well, that's changing.

00:00:54.560 And over the past weekend, a federal appellate court blocked President Biden's vaccine mandate

00:01:00.060 for private companies.

00:01:01.940 As I said, tough going for the Biden leftist agenda.

00:01:06.280 We're joined today by Congressman Jim Jordan,

00:01:09.300 who serves as a member of the House of Representatives from Ohio's 4th District.

00:01:14.940 He was first elected in 2007.

00:01:18.140 Congressman Jordan is a founding member of the Freedom Caucus,

00:01:21.320 one of President Donald Trump's greatest supporters and advocates and a great American.

00:01:27.500 And now, Congressman Jim Jordan.

00:01:30.280 Congressman, it is great to have you with us.

00:01:33.540 I want to start with the referendum, if you will, that we saw in Virginia,

00:01:39.500 and to a lesser, perhaps lesser, it's still unresolved in New Jersey.

00:01:46.760 But shocking, shocking results for a Democratic Party that thought they had it all sewed up.

00:01:54.000 Yeah.

00:01:54.220 Well, good to be with you, Lou.

00:01:55.600 No, you're exactly right.

00:01:56.920 It turns out that when you tell parents government's smarter than they are,

00:02:00.580 and when you tell them that you're going to defund the police,

00:02:02.800 voters don't like that too much.

00:02:04.840 And I think they spoke up loud and clear, frankly, in both states.

00:02:08.860 And, you know, I think the one I love is the truck driver who spent 150 or 160 bucks,

00:02:15.220 whatever it was.

00:02:15.720 And I think, you know, half of that was for Dunkin' Donuts,

00:02:18.220 donuts and coffee for a few staff people,

00:02:21.240 beats the Senate majority leader.

00:02:26.020 That's America apple pie right there.

00:02:28.620 So, yeah, I mean, parents don't like to be told what to do,

00:02:31.160 and they don't like the idea that the attorney general is going to spy on them

00:02:35.040 and get the FBI involved coming to school board meetings

00:02:37.300 simply because they're showing up,

00:02:39.440 speaking out against this racist hate America curricula

00:02:42.620 that's being taught in some of our schools.

00:02:44.640 So God bless moms and dads for doing what they did

00:02:49.600 and taking that message and getting that message out.

00:02:51.880 And I think that was the reason you saw Glenn Youngkin win so big in Virginia.

00:02:55.380 And, you know, one of the expressions I love best about

00:02:58.800 the parents who are showing up in school board meetings,

00:03:03.480 many of them for the first time,

00:03:05.820 some of the activists calling them mama bears and papa bears,

00:03:09.440 and they are roaring.

00:03:11.920 There was just such a good feeling, not for the Democrats, of course,

00:03:16.160 but for anyone who cares about the quality of education in this country

00:03:20.240 to see a contest for those children,

00:03:26.100 their parents' force to fight the state,

00:03:28.800 to fight the teachers' unions,

00:03:31.100 to fight the woke, if you will, coalition of abject fools

00:03:39.420 who think that they know better than parents

00:03:41.440 about how to raise their children.

00:03:43.220 The same parents we've been asking, Congressman,

00:03:45.700 to get engaged, to be involved in their children's education.

00:03:51.080 And hallelujah for what they achieved

00:03:54.360 and what the Republican Party, frankly, responded to.

00:03:59.100 No, it was great.

00:04:00.440 You know, I've said many times,

00:04:02.100 the same point you just made is that,

00:04:04.220 you know, we have to deal with lobbyists from time to time.

00:04:06.560 I want to come talk to you about certain things,

00:04:08.300 but I always say no high-paid lobbyists

00:04:10.100 will ever beat a mom on a mission.

00:04:12.080 And in this case, we had moms on a mission

00:04:13.680 to do what's best for their sons and their daughters.

00:04:16.780 And they and their husbands were standing up and saying,

00:04:19.300 no, no, no, we're not going to tolerate this.

00:04:21.420 And you couple that, Lou,

00:04:22.900 with what we have seen from the Biden administration.

00:04:26.440 I mean, everything they touch has turned out bad.

00:04:29.400 We've got a border that's complete chaos.

00:04:32.160 We've got inflation everywhere.

00:04:33.540 The price of gas is up.

00:04:34.660 The price of eggs, you just name it.

00:04:36.520 Everything is up.

00:04:38.080 We went from relatively safe streets in our urban areas

00:04:40.600 to crime up, violent crime up in every major city in the country.

00:04:44.960 We went from a respect around the world

00:04:46.880 to the debacle that was the exit from Afghanistan.

00:04:49.140 So you couple all that with this direct attack on parents

00:04:52.100 and voters said, enough already.

00:04:55.360 And, you know, there's a reason that polling showed a week ago

00:04:57.880 that 71% of our fellow citizens think the country's on the wrong track.

00:05:03.360 I think the real takeaway from that is,

00:05:04.880 who are the 29% who think we're on the right track, for goodness sake?

00:05:08.720 So all that together, people came out and spoke in a strong way.

00:05:13.800 And I think it's going to carry over

00:05:15.100 into next year's midterm congressional elections.

00:05:18.720 And what we have seen to this point is breathtaking

00:05:23.080 because suddenly the foundation of what the Democratic Party is representing,

00:05:28.660 I'm going to say under President Biden,

00:05:32.200 I don't for a moment believe he is driving the Democratic Party.

00:05:35.420 I think they are quite capably managing him.

00:05:39.380 They may be headed for the abyss, but they're the ones at the wheel.

00:05:43.500 This is a time for the Democrats to say,

00:05:47.440 what happened in Virginia?

00:05:48.700 What is happening in New Jersey?

00:05:51.300 And instead, Sheila Jackson Lee comes out and says

00:05:55.160 they had a terrible night because they had a terrible candidate

00:05:57.980 in Terry McAuliffe.

00:05:59.020 And oh, by the way, everybody in the state of Virginia

00:06:01.300 is a damn racist.

00:06:03.180 I mean, it's more of the same.

00:06:05.940 Yeah, they're going to double down

00:06:07.400 because never forget, you know this,

00:06:09.700 and your listeners know this,

00:06:11.400 the left doesn't like America.

00:06:14.520 We've never had this before where it used to be,

00:06:17.140 you know, 50, 60 years ago,

00:06:19.380 maybe even more recent, you had two parties.

00:06:22.060 They both loved the country.

00:06:23.620 They just had different kind of ways

00:06:25.080 that they thought we were going to help the country.

00:06:26.880 Not today.

00:06:27.740 The left wants to fundamentally change America.

00:06:30.060 So they don't take lessons from what happened on Tuesday night

00:06:33.900 in Virginia and New Jersey and around the country

00:06:36.180 where they said, no, no, we actually like to fund the police.

00:06:38.420 We actually think police are good for communities.

00:06:40.640 So they don't take the lessons.

00:06:42.480 They just double down on their left wing ideology

00:06:44.720 that has hurt the country for these 10 months

00:06:46.840 where they've had complete control of the government.

00:06:48.480 And I think the other thing that was in play, Lou,

00:06:51.660 was the direct attack on our liberties.

00:06:54.460 I mean, you think about every right we enjoy

00:06:56.480 under the First Amendment has been assaulted

00:06:58.520 over the last year by the left.

00:07:01.080 And now we have it continuing with these vaccine mandates.

00:07:04.380 I mean, ask yourself the question,

00:07:06.320 is our supply chain going to be helped

00:07:08.000 if we have more truck drivers or less truck drivers?

00:07:10.200 Because we're going to have less

00:07:11.160 if they continue with this vaccine mandate requirement.

00:07:13.780 Do we have better health care

00:07:16.420 if we have more nurses working or less nurses working?

00:07:19.480 So this is how crazy they are.

00:07:21.560 But the left is about control.

00:07:23.380 It's about fundamentally changing the country.

00:07:24.840 So they're going to double down

00:07:26.020 and not learn any lessons from what happened.

00:07:29.600 And the Biden administration being transparently cowardly

00:07:34.620 and, if you will, Machiavellian in a very naive fashion, at least.

00:07:41.300 Moving the mandate deadline to January 4th

00:07:45.280 because they've been told by business,

00:07:47.660 by their party and the rank and file,

00:07:52.500 that, by the way, if you keep pushing this,

00:07:54.740 we're not going to have a holiday shopping season.

00:07:57.700 People aren't going to have a Yule log in the fireplace.

00:08:01.240 It's going to be terrible.

00:08:03.020 And it took enormous energy

00:08:07.200 to even get the president's attention on that.

00:08:10.820 We are looking at a man who is disposed

00:08:13.580 to follow those who are suggesting

00:08:16.020 that this is a country that would be better off

00:08:18.600 if we had a totalitarian government,

00:08:21.140 an authoritarian government,

00:08:22.720 a president who issues edicts and fiats

00:08:25.340 and executive orders

00:08:26.860 rather than goes before the American people

00:08:29.980 and tries to persuade them of the importance of a vaccine,

00:08:34.600 tries to persuade them

00:08:35.940 that we need more illegal immigrants in the country,

00:08:39.200 that we need to leave our border wide open,

00:08:41.800 that it's OK if we lose the arms race

00:08:44.620 to the Chinese and the Russians

00:08:46.400 in hypersonic missiles.

00:08:49.100 I mean, step before the American people

00:08:51.220 and say what you're doing.

00:08:53.240 Take responsibility for what you're doing, Mr. President.

00:08:55.860 But no, that's not what we're witnessing.

00:08:59.160 No, we're sure not.

00:09:00.720 And I come back to sort of the fundamentals sometimes, too.

00:09:04.480 Who at OSHA ever put their name on a ballot

00:09:06.700 and ran for office?

00:09:07.940 I mean, they're writing this rule.

00:09:10.520 How about Dr. Fauci?

00:09:11.920 Dr. Fauci ever run for office?

00:09:13.580 He ever go out and talk to the American people,

00:09:15.400 put his name on a ballot

00:09:16.280 and get elected to any office?

00:09:17.560 He's the highest paid guy in the stinking government.

00:09:19.500 And he has assaulted our liberties

00:09:21.440 for the last year and a half.

00:09:23.240 Did General Milley, who supposedly had this conversation

00:09:26.820 with his counterpart in China,

00:09:29.080 did he ever run for office?

00:09:30.740 Is his name on a ballot?

00:09:31.880 Did he ever go out and talk to we, the people,

00:09:33.660 and get elected to high office?

00:09:34.920 No, that is not how it works in our system.

00:09:37.560 The system is you put your name on the ballot,

00:09:39.340 you talk to the American people.

00:09:40.700 If they elect you, then you're in the positions

00:09:42.860 where you make the decisions,

00:09:44.240 the elected folks who are directly accountable

00:09:45.980 to we, the people.

00:09:47.200 This idea that these bureaucrats

00:09:48.700 and this, quote, science,

00:09:50.340 they're going to make all the decisions,

00:09:51.780 is BS and the American people understand it.

00:09:54.640 And the idea, too, that, oh,

00:09:56.100 some bureaucracy is going to tell parents

00:09:58.800 how things are going to work

00:09:59.760 and someone in Washington,

00:10:01.440 Merrick Garland, is going to send the FBI

00:10:02.980 to spy on him at a school board meeting.

00:10:05.120 People don't take to that.

00:10:06.520 And I think, I think, Lou,

00:10:08.200 that I said this the other day,

00:10:10.000 freedom is contagious.

00:10:11.800 Courage is contagious.

00:10:13.460 When one person stands up against it,

00:10:15.620 pretty soon, remember,

00:10:16.640 it was parents at school board meetings.

00:10:18.860 Then it was Kyrie Irving standing up and saying,

00:10:21.860 and look, I'm on for the vaccine

00:10:23.220 if you want to get the vaccine,

00:10:24.200 but this should be an individual choice.

00:10:25.660 Then it was the Chicago Police Union.

00:10:27.640 So it's contagious.

00:10:29.080 That's what we need more of in this country.

00:10:31.040 And it's in us as Americans

00:10:32.700 to stand up for liberty.

00:10:34.820 And I think you're seeing more

00:10:35.860 and more of that happening.

00:10:37.080 And of course, the parents at school boards

00:10:38.800 in the Virginia election

00:10:39.660 were example number one.

00:10:41.560 And to your point,

00:10:44.260 my family and I are vaccinated.

00:10:47.040 And we believe it's the right thing to do.

00:10:49.820 But it is also the right thing to do

00:10:52.000 to look over to our neighbors

00:10:53.500 and to our friends and extended family

00:10:57.400 and say, you know,

00:10:58.540 if that's what you believe,

00:11:00.200 don't follow your conscience.

00:11:02.400 Make your choice.

00:11:03.380 You're an American citizen.

00:11:04.840 You are not some sort of automaton

00:11:07.080 who's here to do the bidding

00:11:08.660 of the permanent bureaucracy,

00:11:10.660 the deep state,

00:11:11.620 and a bunch of radical neo-Marxists.

00:11:13.980 They may not even be neo-Marxists.

00:11:15.460 They may just be simply the Marxists

00:11:17.520 left in this country now.

00:11:19.740 It's stunning the degree

00:11:21.460 to which people have been quick

00:11:23.120 to forfeit the right of a fellow citizen.

00:11:25.960 Yeah.

00:11:26.620 To make the choice

00:11:27.720 that is fundamentally

00:11:28.560 their constitutional right.

00:11:31.580 Yeah.

00:11:32.000 I mean, think about it, Lou.

00:11:32.820 There are still places

00:11:33.540 in this country today

00:11:34.480 where a full congregation

00:11:35.420 cannot meet on a Sunday morning.

00:11:37.080 I mean, the first,

00:11:37.960 your first right mentioned

00:11:38.980 in the First Amendment

00:11:39.820 and the Bill of Rights,

00:11:41.620 your right to practice your faith,

00:11:42.880 your freedom of religion,

00:11:43.800 still places.

00:11:44.680 I think about your second right,

00:11:46.400 freedom of assembly.

00:11:47.580 I was a few months back,

00:11:49.540 I spoke to the New Mexico

00:11:50.700 Republican Party

00:11:51.680 in Amarillo, Texas,

00:11:53.700 because for them to assemble,

00:11:54.860 they had to go to Texas.

00:11:56.040 For them to get freedom,

00:11:57.040 they had to go to Texas.

00:11:57.960 They couldn't exercise freedom

00:11:59.000 in their own state

00:12:00.100 because their governor

00:12:00.880 wouldn't let them.

00:12:02.000 I mean, this is frightening.

00:12:03.080 For the longest time,

00:12:05.180 your listeners couldn't go

00:12:06.760 to their capital

00:12:07.820 to petition their representative

00:12:09.680 to redress their grievances

00:12:11.660 because Nancy Pelosi

00:12:12.800 wouldn't let them in.

00:12:14.120 She wouldn't let them in.

00:12:15.120 You couldn't even come

00:12:15.680 to your own darn capital.

00:12:17.200 This is frightening

00:12:18.100 what they've done to our rights.

00:12:19.500 And now this vaccine mandate,

00:12:20.920 it just makes no sense.

00:12:22.580 And then you've got

00:12:23.060 the practical implications.

00:12:24.380 I got an employer

00:12:25.120 who talked to me yesterday.

00:12:26.420 He has 600 employees,

00:12:28.020 his trucking company,

00:12:29.180 600 employees.

00:12:29.900 He said over half his drivers

00:12:31.940 are not vaccinated.

00:12:33.580 What is this going to do

00:12:34.320 to his business?

00:12:35.140 And then more importantly,

00:12:36.140 or as importantly,

00:12:36.980 what is this going to do

00:12:37.880 to the already terrible

00:12:39.640 supply chain problems we have?

00:12:41.660 This is the kind of stuff

00:12:42.920 that just like Joe Biden,

00:12:44.380 do you have any common sense

00:12:46.280 left at all?

00:12:47.240 So this is what frustrates

00:12:49.120 Americans so much.

00:12:49.900 And again, it's why I think

00:12:50.820 you saw the results you did

00:12:52.000 in the election

00:12:52.860 and why I think next year

00:12:55.020 you're going to see Republicans

00:12:56.000 win back the House

00:12:56.820 and win back the Senate.

00:12:58.280 Well, obviously,

00:12:59.060 we all hope and pray

00:13:00.760 that we do.

00:13:02.620 I want those Republicans,

00:13:04.640 though, to be

00:13:05.380 from the Jim Jordan wing

00:13:08.460 of the Republican Party,

00:13:09.760 not the Paul Ryan wing

00:13:11.140 of the Republican Party.

00:13:12.860 The Donald Trump wing

00:13:13.720 is what we want, right?

00:13:14.700 We want some.

00:13:15.380 I mean, think about that, Lou.

00:13:17.260 Absolutely.

00:13:18.180 The best president we've had,

00:13:19.760 certainly in our lifetimes,

00:13:20.940 and come to this town

00:13:21.860 and did what he said

00:13:22.580 he was going to do.

00:13:23.280 I mean, that's what we need.

00:13:25.080 And I think we're going

00:13:26.440 to get that.

00:13:26.880 Well, you talk about

00:13:29.120 the Trump century

00:13:31.360 that he created.

00:13:32.440 I still believe it is in effect.

00:13:34.780 And we're now hearing

00:13:36.300 from John Durham,

00:13:37.260 who, by the way,

00:13:37.780 I had basically written off

00:13:39.600 as an investigator

00:13:40.860 of the origins

00:13:42.540 of the Russian collusion conspiracy

00:13:46.220 and the persecution

00:13:47.880 of a political persecution

00:13:49.860 of a sitting president.

00:13:51.540 And suddenly we now

00:13:53.680 are seeing results.

00:13:55.060 I have to tell you,

00:13:57.060 I am surprised,

00:13:58.080 but I couldn't be any happier

00:14:00.220 to see the fruit

00:14:02.860 of his investigation.

00:14:04.520 And I believe

00:14:05.640 that we're going to see far more.

00:14:07.400 But the latest revelation

00:14:08.680 that charges have been filed

00:14:12.060 against a Clinton acolyte

00:14:15.140 who was behind

00:14:17.760 the Christopher Steele,

00:14:20.120 Hillary Clinton,

00:14:21.980 phony dossier,

00:14:23.640 which was the predicate

00:14:25.240 for the special counsel

00:14:26.940 and for the conspiracy

00:14:30.160 against the president

00:14:31.220 that ran for years.

00:14:33.100 Yeah.

00:14:33.360 No.

00:14:33.600 And understand this indictment

00:14:35.400 like the one a month

00:14:36.620 or so ago

00:14:37.240 of Mr. Zussman.

00:14:38.420 This indictment

00:14:38.940 of Danchenko was

00:14:39.840 this wasn't Danchenko

00:14:42.000 lying to John Durham

00:14:44.440 and his investigative team.

00:14:45.840 This was an indictment,

00:14:47.280 five counts,

00:14:48.220 for lying to the FBI

00:14:50.560 back in 2016 and 2017

00:14:52.940 when this whole thing

00:14:54.200 was unfolding.

00:14:55.480 So, you know,

00:14:56.340 understand.

00:14:56.860 And the same was Zussman.

00:14:58.140 Zussman was the lie

00:14:59.720 that took place

00:15:00.480 back in 2017 as well.

00:15:02.260 So when this whole thing

00:15:03.360 was starting,

00:15:03.840 this false narrative,

00:15:04.800 this made up story

00:15:06.020 that somehow

00:15:06.840 President Trump

00:15:07.540 had colluded with Russia,

00:15:09.580 the other key takeaway

00:15:10.940 for me is

00:15:11.440 it actually was

00:15:12.500 the Clinton campaign

00:15:13.240 who was hanging out

00:15:14.400 with the Russians

00:15:15.000 and talking with the Russians.

00:15:16.380 It wasn't President Trump.

00:15:18.080 And never forget,

00:15:19.860 the Clinton campaign

00:15:20.700 hires Perkins Cooley

00:15:21.880 who hires Fusion GPS,

00:15:25.580 who hires Christopher Steele.

00:15:27.220 And Christopher Steele

00:15:28.120 goes out and talks

00:15:28.820 to this Danchenko guy

00:15:29.780 who was indicted yesterday

00:15:30.840 to make up this false story

00:15:33.440 that became the basis

00:15:34.420 that they took to the FBI.

00:15:35.560 Now, here's the key.

00:15:36.440 I think the FBI knew

00:15:37.720 it was false from the get-go.

00:15:39.120 I think Jim Comey knew this.

00:15:40.800 So we'll see

00:15:41.240 what John Durham concludes.

00:15:42.500 But I think he knew

00:15:43.420 it was false from the get-go,

00:15:45.380 but they wanted to go

00:15:46.400 after President Trump

00:15:47.300 and did and put our country

00:15:48.720 through three years

00:15:49.500 of that Mueller baloney

00:15:50.440 that we all had to live through.

00:15:53.720 And poor President Trump

00:15:55.420 as a candidate

00:15:56.420 already under FBI investigation

00:15:59.940 for under phony pretext,

00:16:03.300 which was bought

00:16:04.320 and accepted so eagerly

00:16:07.500 by the Comey FBI.

00:16:10.240 Then we watched

00:16:11.740 the FBI investigation begin,

00:16:13.640 leads to this nonsense,

00:16:15.700 then the dossier

00:16:16.800 becomes a predicate

00:16:18.900 for a special counsel investigation

00:16:20.800 and for crying out loud.

00:16:23.040 And now we know

00:16:24.120 that his national security advisor

00:16:27.900 was framed, set up,

00:16:29.740 and manipulated by the FBI

00:16:32.160 for the purpose

00:16:33.780 of a political result.

00:16:36.120 What they did to a three-star general

00:16:38.640 who served our country

00:16:39.560 was just so wrong.

00:16:43.100 And, you know,

00:16:44.840 I come back,

00:16:46.400 well, think about

00:16:47.100 the second indictment.

00:16:48.180 Well, the first indictment

00:16:49.480 and then Dan Janko

00:16:50.040 was the second.

00:16:50.480 So the first indictment

00:16:51.200 was Zussman

00:16:51.740 that came a month or so ago.

00:16:53.600 Zussman,

00:16:54.440 he also did the same thing,

00:16:56.900 but he avoided

00:16:57.420 all the middlemen.

00:16:58.500 Zussman,

00:16:58.900 who worked for Perkins Coie,

00:17:00.100 he just went straight

00:17:01.040 to the FBI.

00:17:02.020 He didn't go through

00:17:02.640 Fusion GPS

00:17:03.360 and hire Christopher Steele

00:17:04.640 who talked to Rush.

00:17:05.540 No, he just went straight

00:17:06.540 to him and said,

00:17:07.400 I got information

00:17:08.240 that shows false information.

00:17:10.120 He said,

00:17:10.340 I got the false information

00:17:11.320 that they gave him.

00:17:12.100 He went straight to

00:17:12.760 not just anyone

00:17:13.500 at the FBI, Lou.

00:17:14.480 He went to Jim Baker,

00:17:15.440 the chief counsel at the FBI,

00:17:17.180 walked in directly to him,

00:17:18.660 handed him false information

00:17:19.880 that the FBI used

00:17:21.240 to supplement

00:17:22.040 with the dossier

00:17:23.320 to start this investigation

00:17:24.800 to President Trump.

00:17:25.980 And the end result

00:17:26.940 was the only one

00:17:27.720 who really gets hurt

00:17:28.420 is Michael Flynn

00:17:29.540 who did nothing wrong.

00:17:31.020 For goodness,

00:17:31.500 this is how crazy it is.

00:17:33.020 So I'm like you.

00:17:33.700 I hope Durham,

00:17:34.920 I hope he's,

00:17:36.540 he's going to,

00:17:37.640 he's going to push this

00:17:38.440 and hold people accountable

00:17:39.980 who deserve to be

00:17:40.780 held accountable.

00:17:42.100 Carry through on his work

00:17:44.360 with these now two indictments.

00:17:49.040 We are watching a man

00:17:50.500 who's achieving results

00:17:51.660 for the first time.

00:17:52.800 And what he's already done

00:17:54.480 is validate

00:17:55.380 what you knew,

00:17:57.000 for example,

00:17:57.860 Congressman Devin Nunes

00:17:59.140 knew and understood

00:18:00.580 because you're looking

00:18:01.740 at documents

00:18:02.540 and had a background story

00:18:04.880 as you fight

00:18:05.700 a fierce fight

00:18:08.260 for the president.

00:18:10.540 This,

00:18:11.000 right now,

00:18:12.060 as it stands,

00:18:13.240 a lot of Americans

00:18:14.240 are going to be

00:18:15.080 asking themselves,

00:18:16.860 doesn't Donald Trump,

00:18:18.420 just because

00:18:19.340 of the political persecution

00:18:21.640 and the effort

00:18:23.080 to destroy his presidency

00:18:24.580 and all that he achieved

00:18:25.840 despite that,

00:18:26.960 doesn't he deserve

00:18:29.080 the nomination

00:18:30.560 in 2024?

00:18:31.740 Oh, yeah.

00:18:32.500 Oh, yeah.

00:18:32.920 Won't it be very difficult

00:18:34.320 for the Republican Party,

00:18:36.060 its establishment,

00:18:37.240 to deny him

00:18:39.360 that if he so chooses

00:18:40.660 to serve the American?

00:18:42.240 No, it'll be,

00:18:42.800 it'll be impossible.

00:18:44.060 He's going to win.

00:18:44.760 He runs.

00:18:45.300 He's going to win.

00:18:45.880 I'm already,

00:18:46.480 I've been for him from,

00:18:47.780 I've been for him all along.

00:18:49.800 You know,

00:18:50.360 I want him to run

00:18:51.260 and I hope he,

00:18:53.060 hope he does.

00:18:54.500 Well,

00:18:55.060 a lot of people

00:18:55.840 are hoping he doesn't

00:18:56.720 over there

00:18:57.100 on the Democratic Party

00:18:58.740 because they know

00:19:00.420 full well

00:19:01.360 that their lies

00:19:03.980 are and have now

00:19:04.960 caught up with them.

00:19:06.200 Not all of them.

00:19:07.140 There's a,

00:19:07.640 there are a lot to go.

00:19:09.400 Yeah.

00:19:09.540 But this is the beginning

00:19:10.660 of truth being revealed

00:19:12.480 and it's exciting.

00:19:13.840 And you made a great point there.

00:19:15.340 Think about everything

00:19:16.540 he got done.

00:19:17.580 All he did

00:19:18.320 that he said

00:19:18.820 he was going to do

00:19:19.540 in spite of,

00:19:21.140 in spite of everyone

00:19:22.360 in this town

00:19:23.340 being against him.

00:19:24.420 I mean,

00:19:24.680 every Democrat

00:19:25.520 was against him.

00:19:26.440 All the mainstream press

00:19:27.620 was against him.

00:19:28.360 All the bureaucracy

00:19:29.180 was against him

00:19:30.080 and a bunch of Republicans

00:19:31.120 were against him.

00:19:32.120 And in spite of all that,

00:19:33.620 he got more done

00:19:34.720 of what he said

00:19:35.440 he would do.

00:19:35.840 What he told the American,

00:19:36.720 built a wall.

00:19:37.580 He cut the taxes.

00:19:38.460 He reduced regulation.

00:19:39.700 He got out of the Iran deal.

00:19:40.860 Got out of that crazy Paris deal

00:19:42.060 that Biden wants to get back into.

00:19:43.620 He,

00:19:43.760 he put the embassy

00:19:45.020 in Jerusalem.

00:19:46.020 He,

00:19:46.260 he went after the terrorists.

00:19:47.360 It was like,

00:19:48.120 we were respected

00:19:48.780 around the world.

00:19:49.380 We had energy independence.

00:19:50.380 We had a border

00:19:51.240 that was under control.

00:19:52.180 I mean,

00:19:52.520 and I'm forgetting

00:19:53.740 a bunch of other things,

00:19:54.540 but like,

00:19:55.520 that is amazing

00:19:56.380 to me.

00:19:56.800 That's the kind of guy

00:19:57.560 I want as president

00:19:58.360 of the United States.

00:19:59.300 And I think a lot

00:20:00.240 of Americans do as well.

00:20:01.780 So I think he's going

00:20:02.680 to win the nomination.

00:20:03.480 I think he's going

00:20:03.880 to win the general election

00:20:04.740 in 2024.

00:20:06.660 Is the saying

00:20:07.560 goes from your lips

00:20:09.000 to God's ears.

00:20:09.880 The man absolutely

00:20:12.240 was a victim

00:20:13.580 of the most vicious

00:20:14.860 political attacks

00:20:17.440 and attempted coup

00:20:19.640 twice impeached

00:20:21.400 right now facing

00:20:23.340 more political persecution

00:20:25.700 in Manhattan

00:20:26.800 as they're trying

00:20:28.880 to just continue

00:20:31.620 to assault

00:20:32.820 this president,

00:20:34.320 President Trump.

00:20:35.220 Yeah,

00:20:35.420 sure.

00:20:35.560 It's got to be fixed

00:20:36.960 and it's got to be fixed

00:20:38.060 soon.

00:20:38.480 The Republican Party

00:20:39.440 needs to rise up

00:20:40.420 as one

00:20:41.000 and demand

00:20:42.280 that the nonsense

00:20:43.040 stop and that

00:20:44.060 this president

00:20:44.660 be accorded

00:20:45.340 their respect

00:20:45.900 that's been denied

00:20:46.700 him since 2015.

00:20:50.020 but as president

00:20:51.260 of the United States

00:20:52.040 for the past four years

00:20:54.660 and the entire four years

00:20:56.740 of his presidency.

00:20:57.880 I want to turn to you

00:20:59.440 because you used

00:21:00.100 that expression

00:21:00.820 do what you said

00:21:02.660 you would do

00:21:03.340 and I have it

00:21:05.580 on good authority

00:21:06.280 that that is the title

00:21:07.600 of the new book.

00:21:09.240 I can't wait

00:21:10.560 to read it

00:21:12.140 because the subtitle

00:21:15.640 is Fighting for Freedom

00:21:17.420 in the Swamp

00:21:18.160 and that's exactly

00:21:19.200 who Jim Jordan is

00:21:21.080 ladies and gentlemen.

00:21:22.280 He's a man

00:21:23.060 who has been

00:21:23.580 fighting for freedom

00:21:24.540 every day

00:21:25.480 that he's been

00:21:26.140 in Congress

00:21:26.760 and supporting

00:21:28.120 President Trump

00:21:29.220 as few others

00:21:31.460 would or did.

00:21:33.740 He has been

00:21:34.500 an absolute

00:21:36.040 beacon

00:21:37.560 for integrity

00:21:39.120 for fierce courage

00:21:40.940 for knowledge

00:21:43.220 and service

00:21:44.560 to the American people.

00:21:46.700 So as you might guess

00:21:47.800 Congressman

00:21:48.280 I'm going to buy

00:21:49.320 a lot of your book.

00:21:50.640 Well I appreciate it.

00:21:51.860 I think your listeners

00:21:52.620 will like it.

00:21:53.320 I really do.

00:21:53.760 I wrote every word of it.

00:21:55.160 It takes them

00:21:55.800 behind the scenes

00:21:56.600 and talks a lot

00:21:57.540 about how we started

00:21:58.240 the Freedom Caucus

00:21:59.000 how we forced

00:21:59.680 John Boehner out

00:22:00.940 as speaker

00:22:01.440 and then I get into

00:22:03.280 a lot of the investigations

00:22:04.300 Lou.

00:22:04.920 I've had the privilege

00:22:05.760 of working on

00:22:06.600 when the IRS

00:22:07.580 targeted people

00:22:08.400 like your listeners

00:22:09.140 when I was on

00:22:12.140 the Benghazi Select Committee

00:22:13.140 I talk a lot about that

00:22:14.200 and when we had

00:22:15.040 Hillary Clinton

00:22:15.640 in for that big hearing

00:22:16.800 and then of course

00:22:17.860 a lot on impeachment

00:22:18.860 what Adam Schiff

00:22:20.120 tried to do

00:22:20.660 and the Democrats

00:22:21.160 tried to do

00:22:21.580 to President Trump

00:22:22.340 we take him

00:22:23.520 behind the scenes

00:22:24.380 one story

00:22:27.200 we've relayed

00:22:27.780 is when

00:22:28.180 my colleagues

00:22:29.320 stormed the bunker

00:22:30.080 and came in there

00:22:31.760 when we were

00:22:32.280 like Mark Meadows

00:22:34.140 and some of us

00:22:34.720 were already in there

00:22:35.160 doing the deposition

00:22:35.860 and they come in

00:22:36.520 and how Adam Schiff

00:22:37.560 reacted

00:22:37.900 so I think

00:22:38.280 they'll enjoy that

00:22:38.880 and then spend

00:22:39.820 a lot of time

00:22:40.260 giving them

00:22:40.620 a feel

00:22:41.520 for the interactions

00:22:42.380 I had the privilege

00:22:43.280 of having

00:22:43.700 with President Trump

00:22:45.220 and what a great man

00:22:47.160 what a good guy

00:22:48.480 he is

00:22:49.320 and so I think

00:22:50.440 your listeners

00:22:50.820 will enjoy the reading

00:22:51.660 it's available

00:22:52.620 for pre-order

00:22:53.500 at Amazon

00:22:55.280 and at Barnes & Noble

00:22:56.540 so it'll be out

00:22:57.520 in a few weeks

00:22:58.040 and we will be

00:22:59.320 reminding everybody

00:23:00.480 that it is available

00:23:02.140 on all

00:23:03.120 all of our social media

00:23:04.740 our modest audience

00:23:06.340 and we will

00:23:07.140 do so

00:23:10.380 it's just

00:23:11.200 I'm truly excited

00:23:13.620 to read it

00:23:14.280 and when I say

00:23:15.980 Jim Jordan

00:23:17.240 is best of class

00:23:19.440 I really mean that

00:23:20.500 a patriot

00:23:21.120 and just a great congressman

00:23:23.280 a great great American

00:23:36.520 last word here

00:23:44.940 no I'll just say

00:23:45.940 thank you

00:23:46.380 I appreciate

00:23:47.620 your defense

00:23:49.140 of President Trump

00:23:50.040 and what you have

00:23:50.720 meant to our nation

00:23:51.640 and it's an honor

00:23:53.500 to be

00:23:53.800 it was an honor

00:23:57.400 and it's an honor

00:23:57.800 to be on your

00:24:06.200 you too congressman

00:24:07.580 God bless you

00:24:08.380 and keep up

00:24:09.080 the great work

00:24:09.860 one of the takeaways

00:24:11.600 certainly from the

00:24:12.520 November elections

00:24:13.420 was motor discomfort

00:24:14.920 with a Marxist left

00:24:16.700 and their intent

00:24:17.700 to defund police

00:24:19.420 Minneapolis rejected

00:24:21.500 the abolition

00:24:22.240 of their police department

00:24:23.920 that was to be replaced

00:24:25.780 by a public safety department

00:24:28.000 our next guest

00:24:29.280 is one of the country's

00:24:30.340 most important

00:24:31.100 conservative voices

00:24:32.240 she's known

00:24:33.540 for her pro-police views

00:24:35.280 her opposition

00:24:36.160 to so-called criminal

00:24:37.560 justice reform

00:24:38.720 and has written widely

00:24:40.440 on the subject

00:24:41.180 she's written a number

00:24:42.600 of books

00:24:43.100 including

00:24:43.620 War on Cops

00:24:44.860 she's an attorney

00:24:46.200 as well

00:24:46.940 a fellow

00:24:48.100 at the Manhattan Institute

00:24:49.520 a graduate

00:24:50.480 of Yale University

00:24:51.700 with a bachelor's degree

00:24:53.640 summa cum laude

00:24:54.620 in English

00:24:55.720 a master's

00:24:57.060 from Cambridge University

00:24:58.360 a graduate

00:24:59.420 of the Stanford Law School

00:25:01.060 in other words

00:25:02.700 you will find her

00:25:03.680 to be

00:25:04.200 every bit as smart

00:25:05.500 as she seems

00:25:06.920 and now

00:25:08.240 Heather McDonald

00:25:09.640 Heather

00:25:10.040 a delight

00:25:10.880 and honor

00:25:11.700 to have you with us

00:25:12.560 on the podcast

00:25:13.400 great to have you here

00:25:15.400 thank you so much

00:25:16.820 Lou it's always a pleasure

00:25:17.660 speaking with you

00:25:18.400 we have much

00:25:19.860 to speak of

00:25:20.960 and let's begin

00:25:22.960 with a country

00:25:24.340 that seems

00:25:25.300 to be

00:25:26.460 constantly

00:25:28.020 validating

00:25:28.900 your fears

00:25:30.580 my fears

00:25:31.500 over the course

00:25:32.320 of the past 20 years

00:25:33.600 and to do so

00:25:35.600 in the

00:25:36.900 in the most

00:25:38.300 extraordinary

00:25:38.940 fashion

00:25:40.780 and by that

00:25:41.760 I mean

00:25:42.180 attacking the very roots

00:25:44.120 the very foundation

00:25:45.300 the institutions

00:25:46.500 of the country

00:25:47.320 that have

00:25:47.780 have liberated

00:25:49.100 not only a people

00:25:51.220 and this nation

00:25:52.580 but the world itself

00:25:54.800 your thoughts

00:25:55.820 as we

00:25:56.540 are witnessing

00:25:57.980 all of this

00:25:59.100 unfold before us

00:26:00.400 well you're right

00:26:02.260 Lou

00:26:02.540 I am

00:26:03.460 in great

00:26:04.440 fear

00:26:04.960 that every

00:26:06.340 institution

00:26:07.180 of western

00:26:07.720 civilization

00:26:08.280 will come

00:26:09.920 down

00:26:10.420 unless

00:26:11.600 Americans

00:26:12.500 get the

00:26:14.200 courage

00:26:14.760 to fight

00:26:15.420 back

00:26:15.900 against the

00:26:16.620 phony narrative

00:26:17.400 that America

00:26:19.020 today is

00:26:19.740 characterized

00:26:20.200 by white

00:26:20.940 supremacy

00:26:21.580 and

00:26:22.580 that any

00:26:24.180 ongoing

00:26:24.960 socioeconomic

00:26:26.180 disparities

00:26:26.900 can only

00:26:28.520 be explained

00:26:29.520 by racism

00:26:31.300 on the part

00:26:32.320 of whites

00:26:33.060 those two

00:26:35.180 propositions

00:26:35.980 are false

00:26:37.180 and yet

00:26:38.960 the elites

00:26:39.800 who control

00:26:40.460 the discourse

00:26:41.240 make sure

00:26:42.980 that no

00:26:43.600 alternative

00:26:44.360 explanations

00:26:45.180 are allowed

00:26:46.820 in

00:26:47.200 for instance

00:26:47.920 if we look

00:26:49.240 at

00:26:49.980 incarceration

00:26:51.480 numbers

00:26:52.260 you know

00:26:52.660 the criminal

00:26:53.160 justice system

00:26:54.200 has been

00:26:55.360 under attack

00:26:56.440 for 20

00:26:57.100 years now

00:26:57.980 for

00:26:59.040 alleged

00:26:59.740 racism

00:27:00.440 and the

00:27:01.600 main piece

00:27:02.580 of evidence

00:27:03.220 for that

00:27:04.180 is the fact

00:27:05.140 that blacks

00:27:05.800 are incarcerated

00:27:06.900 at a higher

00:27:08.100 rate than

00:27:08.700 whites

00:27:09.060 there's no

00:27:09.640 disputing

00:27:10.240 that

00:27:10.540 the left

00:27:12.280 and the

00:27:13.080 democratic

00:27:13.620 party

00:27:14.180 and Joe

00:27:14.780 Biden

00:27:15.240 and Merrick

00:27:15.920 Garland

00:27:16.340 our attorney

00:27:16.860 general

00:27:17.380 will only

00:27:18.440 allow one

00:27:19.000 explanation

00:27:19.540 for that

00:27:20.040 which is

00:27:20.620 police are

00:27:21.860 racist

00:27:22.400 juries

00:27:23.540 are racist

00:27:24.200 prosecutors

00:27:24.920 are racist

00:27:25.940 judges

00:27:26.820 are racist

00:27:27.700 and crime

00:27:29.720 is basically

00:27:30.400 a racist

00:27:30.960 fiction

00:27:31.580 well the

00:27:32.660 alternative

00:27:33.180 explanation

00:27:34.000 for that

00:27:34.860 disparity

00:27:35.540 in the

00:27:36.580 incarceration

00:27:37.220 rate

00:27:37.860 is that

00:27:39.060 crime rates

00:27:40.080 are equally

00:27:40.960 disparate

00:27:41.680 but we're

00:27:42.560 not allowed

00:27:43.100 to talk

00:27:43.620 about that

00:27:44.280 and so

00:27:44.800 instead

00:27:45.320 what's been

00:27:46.080 going on

00:27:46.820 and we've

00:27:47.280 seen the

00:27:47.680 results in

00:27:48.300 the last

00:27:48.760 year

00:27:49.180 and a

00:27:49.940 half

00:27:50.400 is that

00:27:51.520 we are

00:27:51.940 discrediting

00:27:52.740 policing

00:27:53.420 we're

00:27:54.340 discrediting

00:27:55.020 the criminal

00:27:55.620 justice

00:27:56.060 system

00:27:56.680 the police

00:27:57.720 are backing

00:27:58.300 off under

00:27:58.900 the phony

00:27:59.300 charge of

00:27:59.800 racism

00:28:00.200 the results

00:28:01.260 speak for

00:28:01.760 themselves

00:28:02.220 last year

00:28:02.880 saw the

00:28:03.280 largest

00:28:03.740 percentage

00:28:04.820 increase

00:28:05.380 in homicide

00:28:05.960 in this

00:28:06.460 nation's

00:28:06.940 history

00:28:07.340 going back

00:28:09.180 nearly a

00:28:10.520 century

00:28:11.000 30%

00:28:12.720 increase

00:28:13.320 in one

00:28:13.840 year

00:28:14.140 which is

00:28:14.660 utterly

00:28:15.160 unthinkable

00:28:16.260 and yet

00:28:18.200 the

00:28:18.880 democratic

00:28:19.720 party

00:28:20.440 continues

00:28:21.500 to turn

00:28:22.260 its eyes

00:28:22.900 away

00:28:23.340 from the

00:28:23.780 effects

00:28:24.140 of this

00:28:24.500 crime

00:28:24.820 increase

00:28:25.340 which are

00:28:26.240 more

00:28:26.540 black

00:28:26.920 lives

00:28:27.360 taken

00:28:27.800 in order

00:28:28.780 to keep

00:28:29.800 the narrative

00:28:30.620 on track

00:28:31.680 which is

00:28:32.180 that racism

00:28:33.340 defines

00:28:33.980 everything in

00:28:34.660 the United

00:28:35.040 States

00:28:35.620 and the

00:28:37.460 way in

00:28:38.040 which they

00:28:38.700 are using

00:28:39.260 that mantra

00:28:40.100 and

00:28:41.280 and

00:28:41.940 and cosmic

00:28:43.840 conclusion

00:28:44.600 is as a

00:28:46.260 is a

00:28:46.900 battering ram

00:28:47.740 against all

00:28:48.440 of those

00:28:48.780 institutions

00:28:49.500 all of

00:28:50.200 our

00:28:50.420 this

00:28:51.700 country's

00:28:52.280 basic

00:28:52.920 values

00:28:53.620 and at

00:28:54.960 the same

00:28:55.400 time

00:28:55.940 disregarding

00:28:57.240 any

00:28:58.360 semblance

00:28:59.560 of

00:29:00.260 investigation

00:29:01.120 as to

00:29:02.020 what is

00:29:02.520 the true

00:29:03.060 causal

00:29:03.560 relationship

00:29:04.400 between

00:29:05.760 racism

00:29:07.020 between

00:29:07.740 economic

00:29:08.720 socio-economic

00:29:10.060 conditions

00:29:10.820 and outcomes

00:29:12.400 outcomes being

00:29:13.240 in this

00:29:13.560 instance

00:29:13.960 violent

00:29:14.780 crime

00:29:15.420 it is

00:29:17.340 it is

00:29:18.360 awful

00:29:19.080 to watch

00:29:19.820 our

00:29:20.260 national

00:29:20.960 left-wing

00:29:21.420 media

00:29:21.800 in

00:29:22.040 particular

00:29:22.560 report

00:29:23.720 as if

00:29:24.560 they are

00:29:25.680 a direct

00:29:26.160 conduit

00:29:26.880 from truth

00:29:27.980 and God

00:29:28.440 almighty

00:29:29.040 to the

00:29:30.220 ears

00:29:30.680 of the

00:29:32.180 television

00:29:33.040 or web

00:29:34.580 audience

00:29:35.200 without so

00:29:36.640 much as

00:29:37.160 a single

00:29:38.380 skeptical

00:29:39.720 glance

00:29:41.180 at the

00:29:42.080 facts

00:29:42.620 and the

00:29:44.300 correlations

00:29:45.440 that

00:29:46.100 that

00:29:46.620 follow

00:29:47.040 from an

00:29:47.900 honest

00:29:48.320 examination

00:29:48.900 of our

00:29:49.800 society

00:29:50.780 it's as

00:29:51.500 if

00:29:51.700 50

00:29:52.520 60

00:29:52.980 years

00:29:53.480 of

00:29:53.700 progress

00:29:54.080 in

00:29:54.340 civil

00:29:54.600 rights

00:29:55.080 in this

00:29:56.480 country's

00:29:57.000 histories

00:29:57.340 have been

00:29:57.940 wiped

00:29:58.480 clean

00:29:59.200 by the

00:30:00.720 Black Lives

00:30:02.960 Matter

00:30:03.380 Antifa

00:30:04.300 neo-Marxists

00:30:06.000 who

00:30:06.300 basically

00:30:07.420 guide

00:30:08.460 and

00:30:09.000 outright

00:30:10.060 run

00:30:10.600 most

00:30:12.040 I believe

00:30:12.780 it's fair

00:30:13.160 to say

00:30:13.540 most

00:30:14.140 colleges

00:30:15.480 and

00:30:15.780 universities

00:30:16.420 well

00:30:17.680 Lou

00:30:18.120 you're

00:30:18.480 absolutely

00:30:18.900 right

00:30:19.220 to finger

00:30:19.720 the

00:30:19.920 universities

00:30:20.480 as the

00:30:21.260 conveyor belt

00:30:22.660 of this

00:30:23.140 poison

00:30:23.600 into the

00:30:24.420 American

00:30:24.820 polity

00:30:25.360 they are

00:30:26.680 every year

00:30:27.800 we graduate

00:30:28.520 a new

00:30:29.040 crop

00:30:29.580 of

00:30:29.960 students

00:30:30.660 who have

00:30:31.080 been

00:30:31.460 brainwashed

00:30:33.360 by the

00:30:34.180 poison

00:30:34.640 of

00:30:34.860 identity

00:30:35.340 politics

00:30:36.020 they're

00:30:36.300 carrying

00:30:36.700 it

00:30:36.860 into

00:30:37.080 corporations

00:30:37.780 CEOs

00:30:38.840 are

00:30:39.240 terrified

00:30:39.660 of

00:30:39.940 their

00:30:40.080 own

00:30:40.300 workers

00:30:40.820 these

00:30:42.120 are

00:30:42.360 young

00:30:43.140 people

00:30:43.580 who

00:30:43.800 are

00:30:43.960 determined

00:30:44.560 to

00:30:46.360 instantiate

00:30:47.640 the

00:30:47.940 ideology

00:30:48.540 of the

00:30:48.840 university

00:30:49.280 which is

00:30:49.800 that

00:30:50.140 white

00:30:50.800 people

00:30:51.220 are

00:30:51.440 evil

00:30:51.880 that

00:30:52.440 the

00:30:52.620 institutions

00:30:53.340 of

00:30:53.660 western

00:30:54.100 civilization

00:30:55.220 are

00:30:56.220 oppressive

00:30:57.000 whereas

00:30:57.860 in fact

00:30:58.420 they're

00:30:58.620 the most

00:30:58.980 liberating

00:30:59.700 institutions

00:31:00.380 that have

00:31:00.820 been

00:31:00.980 developed

00:31:01.380 in human

00:31:01.880 history

00:31:02.400 the left

00:31:03.440 operates

00:31:04.620 under

00:31:05.120 principles

00:31:05.680 that are

00:31:06.380 developed

00:31:07.000 uniquely

00:31:07.760 in the

00:31:08.760 west

00:31:09.100 equality

00:31:09.760 tolerance

00:31:10.660 rights

00:31:11.780 these are

00:31:12.640 uniquely

00:31:13.340 western

00:31:14.020 concepts

00:31:15.020 and

00:31:16.520 yes

00:31:17.300 this

00:31:17.700 country

00:31:18.540 had a

00:31:19.260 extraordinarily

00:31:20.940 hypocritical

00:31:23.600 history

00:31:24.180 that was

00:31:25.340 tragically

00:31:26.620 indifferent

00:31:28.840 at the

00:31:29.500 best

00:31:30.000 at best

00:31:30.840 to

00:31:31.880 the

00:31:32.760 mistreatment

00:31:33.660 the

00:31:33.860 cruelty

00:31:34.320 towards

00:31:34.860 blacks

00:31:35.280 that is

00:31:35.780 undeniable

00:31:36.720 and that

00:31:37.260 is the

00:31:37.620 one

00:31:38.100 one

00:31:39.200 piece

00:31:40.420 of truth

00:31:41.100 that I

00:31:41.540 will grant

00:31:42.240 the

00:31:42.500 1619

00:31:43.320 project

00:31:44.000 which is

00:31:44.520 that

00:31:44.820 we do

00:31:45.720 need to

00:31:46.280 acknowledge

00:31:46.900 how

00:31:48.400 gratuitously

00:31:49.580 ugly

00:31:50.700 parts of

00:31:51.420 our history

00:31:51.900 were

00:31:52.300 I can

00:31:53.240 say that

00:31:54.000 and I

00:31:54.480 can say

00:31:54.980 at the

00:31:55.420 same

00:31:55.700 time

00:31:56.200 Lou

00:31:56.520 that

00:31:57.320 we

00:31:57.540 are

00:31:57.760 not

00:31:58.180 that

00:31:58.500 world

00:31:58.900 any

00:31:59.180 longer

00:31:59.560 and

00:31:59.900 that

00:32:00.060 the

00:32:00.240 concept

00:32:00.800 of

00:32:01.140 white

00:32:01.460 privilege

00:32:02.000 today

00:32:02.540 is

00:32:03.360 a

00:32:03.580 complete

00:32:04.280 fraud

00:32:05.400 the

00:32:06.300 reality

00:32:06.940 of our

00:32:07.480 world

00:32:07.840 today

00:32:08.400 is

00:32:09.200 black

00:32:09.700 privilege

00:32:10.320 because

00:32:10.680 there

00:32:11.040 is

00:32:11.220 not

00:32:11.500 a

00:32:11.760 single

00:32:12.420 mainstream

00:32:13.660 institution

00:32:14.540 whether

00:32:14.920 it's

00:32:15.180 a law

00:32:22.960 which

00:32:23.600 is

00:32:25.100 into

00:32:27.640 admit

00:32:28.140 and

00:32:28.420 promote

00:32:28.900 as

00:32:29.580 many

00:32:29.940 minorities

00:32:30.540 as

00:32:30.820 possible

00:32:31.320 anybody

00:32:31.840 in the

00:32:32.660 world

00:32:33.120 knows

00:32:34.160 this

00:32:35.260 is

00:32:35.480 honest

00:32:35.900 with

00:32:36.660 anybody

00:32:37.440 in the

00:32:38.360 world

00:32:38.800 knows

00:32:39.140 this

00:32:39.400 every

00:32:39.920 faculty

00:32:40.480 search

00:32:41.020 is

00:32:41.620 one

00:32:42.240 desperate

00:32:43.040 effort

00:32:43.580 to

00:32:44.260 find

00:32:44.640 both

00:32:45.340 so-called

00:32:46.300 URMs

00:32:47.300 that

00:32:47.600 stands

00:32:48.020 for

00:32:48.280 underrepresented

00:32:49.320 minorities

00:32:49.940 because

00:32:50.320 Asians

00:32:50.880 don't

00:32:51.900 count

00:32:52.340 as

00:32:53.120 minorities

00:32:53.740 in

00:32:54.240 academic

00:32:54.920 calculations

00:32:55.920 or

00:32:56.260 corporate

00:32:56.640 calculations

00:32:57.380 and

00:32:58.140 females

00:32:58.700 so

00:32:59.480 the

00:33:00.320 blacks

00:33:01.880 are being

00:33:02.320 admitted

00:33:02.760 to

00:33:03.120 universities

00:33:03.840 they're

00:33:04.200 being

00:33:04.420 hired

00:33:04.840 to

00:33:05.100 universities

00:33:05.740 with

00:33:06.480 qualifications

00:33:07.140 that would

00:33:07.920 be

00:33:08.120 automatically

00:33:08.800 disqualifying

00:33:10.100 if presented

00:33:11.080 by a

00:33:11.700 white

00:33:11.880 or an

00:33:12.280 Asian

00:33:12.540 student

00:33:13.100 or

00:33:13.940 often

00:33:14.760 by a

00:33:15.200 faculty

00:33:15.560 admit

00:33:16.040 that is

00:33:17.040 the

00:33:17.240 reality

00:33:17.760 the

00:33:18.140 statistics

00:33:18.940 are

00:33:19.400 clear

00:33:19.880 and yet

00:33:20.860 we're

00:33:21.100 all

00:33:21.440 going

00:33:21.740 around

00:33:22.160 pretending

00:33:22.800 that

00:33:23.940 the

00:33:24.200 discrimination

00:33:24.780 of

00:33:25.640 60

00:33:26.880 or

00:33:27.120 70

00:33:27.440 years

00:33:27.880 ago

00:33:28.200 continues

00:33:29.060 to

00:33:29.380 define

00:33:29.760 our

00:33:29.980 world

00:33:30.260 it

00:33:30.480 does

00:33:30.700 not

00:33:31.040 and

00:33:31.700 as

00:33:32.700 you

00:33:32.900 warn

00:33:33.280 Lou

00:33:33.600 this

00:33:34.420 is

00:33:34.620 so

00:33:34.920 sweeping

00:33:35.480 you

00:33:35.880 know

00:33:35.960 we

00:33:36.120 spoke

00:33:36.500 about

00:33:36.780 criminal

00:33:37.140 justice

00:33:37.620 it's

00:33:38.360 not

00:33:38.700 confined

00:33:39.200 to

00:33:39.400 that

00:33:39.660 I've

00:33:40.360 recently

00:33:40.740 been

00:33:41.000 writing

00:33:41.300 on the

00:33:41.700 arts

00:33:42.100 and

00:33:42.300 classical

00:33:42.740 music

00:33:43.120 in

00:33:43.280 particular

00:33:43.800 classical

00:33:44.720 music

00:33:45.320 Beethoven

00:33:46.160 Bach

00:33:46.720 and

00:33:46.940 Brahms

00:33:47.440 and

00:33:47.640 Chopin

00:33:48.120 are

00:33:48.640 being

00:33:48.880 torn

00:33:49.420 down

00:33:49.980 on

00:33:50.780 the

00:33:50.940 ground

00:33:51.240 that

00:33:51.440 they

00:33:51.600 are

00:33:51.760 somehow

00:33:52.180 associated

00:33:53.380 with white

00:33:53.960 supremacy

00:33:54.560 science

00:33:55.500 is being

00:33:56.140 torn

00:33:56.500 down

00:33:56.940 the

00:33:58.020 federal

00:33:59.460 science

00:34:00.080 agencies

00:34:00.580 and I'm

00:34:00.940 sad to

00:34:01.440 say that

00:34:01.840 Trump did

00:34:02.340 nothing

00:34:02.740 about this

00:34:03.560 are

00:34:04.440 putting

00:34:05.160 considerations

00:34:06.580 of race

00:34:07.780 and gender

00:34:08.420 way ahead

00:34:10.020 of scientific

00:34:10.880 merit

00:34:11.300 they are

00:34:11.660 putting our

00:34:12.380 scientific

00:34:13.280 edge

00:34:14.000 at risk

00:34:14.660 they are

00:34:15.020 putting our

00:34:15.580 safety

00:34:16.100 at risk

00:34:16.760 medical

00:34:17.560 schools

00:34:18.180 are admitting

00:34:18.800 students

00:34:19.420 with

00:34:20.140 woefully

00:34:20.880 inadequate

00:34:21.300 qualifications

00:34:22.140 simply

00:34:23.080 in order

00:34:23.680 to meet

00:34:24.280 diversity

00:34:25.100 metrics

00:34:25.740 and talking

00:34:27.600 about the

00:34:28.040 university

00:34:28.620 and our

00:34:29.500 colleges

00:34:29.980 our

00:34:30.260 educational

00:34:30.820 system

00:34:31.380 suddenly

00:34:32.580 the white

00:34:33.700 male in

00:34:34.200 this country

00:34:34.660 is not

00:34:35.100 only

00:34:35.620 despicable

00:34:38.440 deplorable

00:34:39.460 if you

00:34:39.920 will

00:34:40.200 in the

00:34:41.560 minds

00:34:42.000 of the

00:34:42.360 left-wing

00:34:42.760 media

00:34:43.240 and the

00:34:44.140 neo-Marxists

00:34:45.720 who now

00:34:46.540 seem to be

00:34:47.460 driving the

00:34:48.360 ideological

00:34:49.740 momentum

00:34:50.440 within our

00:34:51.060 society

00:34:51.620 and body

00:34:52.560 politic

00:34:53.060 but the

00:34:55.280 reality is

00:34:56.220 the white

00:34:56.640 male is

00:34:57.260 now under

00:34:58.320 represented

00:34:59.060 at least

00:34:59.940 in historical

00:35:00.640 terms

00:35:01.180 on our

00:35:01.820 college

00:35:02.200 campuses

00:35:02.780 the white

00:35:03.820 female is

00:35:05.020 still prized

00:35:05.920 because there

00:35:06.920 is a box

00:35:07.560 that each

00:35:07.940 institution

00:35:08.560 can check

00:35:09.200 off

00:35:09.560 to virtue

00:35:11.340 signal

00:35:11.920 if you

00:35:12.300 will

00:35:12.580 back to

00:35:13.200 the federal

00:35:13.640 government

00:35:14.080 which is

00:35:15.000 the arbiter

00:35:15.560 all such

00:35:16.260 things

00:35:16.700 that by

00:35:17.760 golly

00:35:18.220 someone

00:35:19.600 is actually

00:35:20.460 paying

00:35:21.280 attention

00:35:21.680 to those

00:35:22.280 poor

00:35:22.780 females

00:35:23.540 in our

00:35:23.900 society

00:35:24.500 who

00:35:25.500 historically

00:35:26.080 have been

00:35:27.180 ignored

00:35:27.680 or suppressed

00:35:28.800 at various

00:35:30.240 points in

00:35:30.700 our history

00:35:31.140 it's

00:35:32.280 absurd

00:35:32.900 what we're

00:35:33.600 witnessing

00:35:34.780 it has

00:35:36.500 to be

00:35:36.840 named

00:35:37.100 as such

00:35:37.680 and you

00:35:38.000 have just

00:35:38.360 done it

00:35:38.720 Lou

00:35:38.940 it is

00:35:39.600 a war

00:35:40.160 on white

00:35:40.760 males

00:35:41.120 and it's

00:35:41.700 a war

00:35:42.120 on a

00:35:42.500 civilization

00:35:43.140 deemed

00:35:44.100 too white

00:35:44.820 and too

00:35:45.340 male

00:35:45.640 we

00:35:47.100 cannot

00:35:47.700 beat

00:35:48.080 around

00:35:48.340 the

00:35:48.540 bush

00:35:48.820 that

00:35:49.160 is

00:35:49.600 what's

00:35:49.960 going

00:35:50.240 on

00:35:50.700 the

00:35:51.580 New York

00:35:52.420 Times

00:35:52.900 is quite

00:35:53.420 explicit

00:35:53.920 we saw

00:35:54.480 over the

00:35:54.840 last year

00:35:55.440 and a

00:35:55.700 half

00:35:56.000 two years

00:35:56.680 in its

00:35:57.480 coverage

00:35:57.820 of the

00:35:58.160 presidential

00:35:58.660 campaign

00:35:59.320 and more

00:36:00.820 broadly

00:36:01.340 all it

00:36:02.160 needs to

00:36:02.540 do to

00:36:02.860 discredit

00:36:03.360 an

00:36:03.620 individual

00:36:04.120 or an

00:36:05.060 institution

00:36:05.600 is to

00:36:06.580 append

00:36:07.120 white

00:36:07.740 before that

00:36:09.500 individual

00:36:10.460 or institution

00:36:11.380 and yet

00:36:12.800 the

00:36:13.040 Times

00:36:13.440 claims

00:36:13.920 that

00:36:14.200 Trump

00:36:14.600 is

00:36:14.860 the

00:36:15.020 one

00:36:15.280 who

00:36:15.480 is

00:36:15.640 divisive

00:36:16.280 we have

00:36:16.960 heard

00:36:17.160 endlessly

00:36:17.840 about

00:36:18.820 white

00:36:19.140 supremacy

00:36:19.620 we've

00:36:20.000 been

00:36:20.140 leading

00:36:20.620 living

00:36:21.660 this

00:36:22.040 fiction

00:36:22.540 our

00:36:23.200 culture

00:36:23.680 is

00:36:23.920 now

00:36:24.380 engaged

00:36:24.880 in

00:36:25.120 these

00:36:25.400 dramatic

00:36:26.360 fictions

00:36:27.040 where

00:36:27.460 we're

00:36:27.700 trying

00:36:28.080 to

00:36:28.320 body

00:36:28.660 forth

00:36:29.160 this

00:36:29.840 idea

00:36:30.440 of

00:36:31.280 dominant

00:36:31.980 white

00:36:32.300 supremacy

00:36:32.760 that's

00:36:33.220 why

00:36:33.360 we

00:36:33.560 had

00:36:33.760 razor

00:36:34.240 wire

00:36:34.620 and

00:36:34.860 barricades

00:36:35.480 around

00:36:35.720 the

00:36:35.900 Capitol

00:36:36.300 for

00:36:36.840 three

00:36:37.200 months

00:36:37.580 after

00:36:37.920 January

00:36:38.340 6

00:36:38.800 to

00:36:39.000 pretend

00:36:39.380 that

00:36:39.660 this

00:36:40.340 one-off

00:36:41.280 event

00:36:41.800 of

00:36:42.240 people

00:36:42.620 that

00:36:42.860 were

00:36:43.140 out

00:36:45.580 of

00:36:45.780 control

00:36:46.340 unruly

00:36:47.480 despicable

00:36:48.880 in their

00:36:49.300 respect

00:36:49.820 for

00:36:50.140 our

00:36:50.620 public

00:36:51.060 institutions

00:36:51.900 represent

00:36:52.780 some

00:36:53.260 kind

00:36:53.600 of

00:36:53.740 growing

00:36:54.100 tide

00:36:54.580 which

00:36:54.840 is

00:36:55.000 absurd

00:36:55.540 this

00:36:56.160 was

00:36:56.360 a

00:36:56.660 unitary

00:36:58.160 event

00:36:58.620 that

00:36:58.860 will

00:36:59.020 not

00:36:59.340 be

00:36:59.580 repeated

00:37:00.080 but

00:37:00.940 there

00:37:02.260 you

00:37:02.520 had

00:37:02.840 the

00:37:03.080 resources

00:37:03.660 of

00:37:03.940 the

00:37:04.120 federal

00:37:04.420 government

00:37:05.040 arming

00:37:06.040 itself

00:37:06.440 to

00:37:06.640 the

00:37:06.820 teeth

00:37:07.160 to

00:37:07.380 try

00:37:07.800 and

00:37:08.020 send

00:37:08.400 the

00:37:08.640 visual

00:37:09.060 message

00:37:09.760 that

00:37:10.420 we

00:37:10.560 were

00:37:10.740 all

00:37:11.160 under

00:37:11.440 siege

00:37:12.000 by

00:37:12.260 white

00:37:12.600 supremacists

00:37:13.560 and

00:37:14.800 you

00:37:15.400 know

00:37:15.560 the

00:37:15.960 you're

00:37:17.040 it's

00:37:17.480 not

00:37:17.720 a

00:37:17.900 historical

00:37:18.640 disproportion

00:37:19.700 on

00:37:20.240 college

00:37:20.580 campuses

00:37:21.060 today

00:37:21.460 Lou

00:37:21.820 it is

00:37:22.460 just

00:37:22.700 right

00:37:23.000 now

00:37:23.340 it

00:37:23.500 is

00:37:24.080 a

00:37:24.240 disproportion

00:37:24.800 it's

00:37:25.120 about

00:37:25.340 two

00:37:25.600 to

00:37:25.740 one

00:37:26.080 females

00:37:27.100 to

00:37:27.340 males

00:37:27.680 I

00:37:28.320 want

00:37:28.620 to

00:37:28.840 throw

00:37:29.160 up

00:37:29.460 I

00:37:29.820 want

00:37:30.040 to

00:37:30.200 throw

00:37:30.460 up

00:37:30.700 every

00:37:30.980 time

00:37:31.280 I

00:37:31.440 hear

00:37:31.700 about

00:37:32.000 a

00:37:32.240 new

00:37:32.460 foundation

00:37:33.180 initiative

00:37:33.740 to

00:37:34.480 get

00:37:34.800 you

00:37:35.340 know

00:37:35.460 females

00:37:36.060 into

00:37:36.360 STEM

00:37:41.160 no

00:37:42.120 it's

00:37:42.520 males

00:37:43.160 who

00:37:43.420 are

00:37:43.560 being

00:37:43.960 suppressed

00:37:45.300 and

00:37:45.800 discredited

00:37:46.700 and

00:37:46.940 demoralized

00:37:48.160 and

00:37:49.060 it's

00:37:49.280 amazing

00:37:49.840 that they

00:37:50.360 succeed at

00:37:51.000 all

00:37:51.320 under

00:37:51.580 these

00:37:51.840 conditions

00:37:52.420 where

00:37:52.700 they

00:37:52.900 are

00:37:53.140 viewed

00:37:53.900 as

00:37:54.180 toxically

00:37:55.000 masculine

00:37:55.760 if

00:37:57.040 they show

00:37:57.580 any

00:37:58.000 kind of

00:37:58.560 traditional

00:37:59.000 male

00:37:59.320 values

00:37:59.920 of

00:38:00.160 self

00:38:00.480 reliance

00:38:01.120 and

00:38:01.700 competitiveness

00:38:02.680 and courage

00:38:03.380 and effort

00:38:03.980 it's

00:38:06.140 the

00:38:06.740 white

00:38:07.080 male

00:38:07.520 as

00:38:08.480 an

00:38:08.820 oppressed

00:38:09.260 group

00:38:09.800 in

00:38:10.860 this

00:38:11.360 age

00:38:11.820 you

00:38:12.540 scratch

00:38:13.000 your

00:38:13.200 head

00:38:13.480 as

00:38:13.660 you

00:38:13.820 try

00:38:14.400 to

00:38:14.860 assimilate

00:38:16.140 what

00:38:16.440 all

00:38:16.860 has

00:38:17.100 happened

00:38:17.480 over

00:38:17.680 the

00:38:17.860 course

00:38:18.180 of

00:38:18.480 well

00:38:19.160 since

00:38:19.380 the

00:38:19.540 1960s

00:38:20.600 and

00:38:21.660 why

00:38:22.880 we

00:38:23.380 are

00:38:23.560 witnessing

00:38:23.960 this

00:38:24.300 now

00:38:24.600 is

00:38:25.400 frankly

00:38:25.800 I

00:38:26.720 struggle

00:38:27.320 to

00:38:27.560 comprehend

00:38:27.960 it

00:38:28.340 Heather

00:38:29.340 I

00:38:29.640 just

00:38:30.040 I

00:38:31.000 cannot

00:38:31.420 figure

00:38:31.860 out

00:38:32.280 was

00:38:32.920 it

00:38:33.060 the

00:38:33.220 war

00:38:33.400 on

00:38:33.620 poverty

00:38:34.060 when

00:38:34.480 we

00:38:34.620 started

00:38:34.900 differentiating

00:38:35.780 by

00:38:36.080 race

00:38:37.220 and

00:38:37.520 ethnicity

00:38:38.040 and

00:38:39.380 subsequently

00:38:40.240 gender

00:38:40.840 what

00:38:42.120 happened

00:38:42.840 that

00:38:43.640 we

00:38:44.120 went

00:38:44.380 from

00:38:44.620 melting

00:38:45.080 pot

00:38:45.540 to

00:38:46.820 multiculturalism

00:38:48.500 but

00:38:49.480 with

00:38:49.760 a

00:38:50.000 real

00:38:51.040 zinger

00:38:51.480 in the

00:38:52.000 midst

00:38:52.260 of it

00:38:52.660 that

00:38:53.440 there

00:38:54.460 will

00:38:54.640 be

00:38:55.000 reparations

00:38:56.040 there

00:38:56.320 will

00:38:56.560 be

00:38:56.960 we

00:38:57.880 will

00:38:58.040 reach

00:38:58.260 back

00:38:58.540 200

00:38:59.020 years

00:38:59.520 for

00:38:59.880 those

00:39:00.280 reparations

00:39:01.120 to

00:39:01.360 those

00:39:01.720 who

00:39:01.860 have

00:39:01.960 been

00:39:02.200 oppressed

00:39:03.400 or suppressed

00:39:04.660 or mistreated

00:39:06.200 in our

00:39:06.620 society

00:39:07.220 without

00:39:08.540 even an

00:39:09.140 acknowledgement

00:39:09.780 for the

00:39:10.640 veterans

00:39:11.220 of the

00:39:11.640 revolutionary

00:39:12.200 war

00:39:12.900 how about

00:39:14.440 those

00:39:14.920 Americans

00:39:15.560 who fought

00:39:16.180 to free

00:39:16.620 the slaves

00:39:17.360 who died

00:39:18.900 by the

00:39:19.280 hundreds

00:39:19.560 of thousands

00:39:20.440 in the

00:39:21.280 1860s

00:39:22.620 to free

00:39:23.800 slaves

00:39:24.420 where is

00:39:25.380 the balance

00:39:26.140 and proportionality

00:39:27.360 and the

00:39:27.880 sense of

00:39:28.400 history

00:39:28.880 as an

00:39:29.780 as

00:39:30.840 this

00:39:31.220 nation

00:39:33.120 the

00:39:33.320 same

00:39:37.100 we are

00:39:38.660 far

00:39:38.980 better

00:39:51.160 we've

00:39:51.420 achieved

00:39:51.920 well

00:39:53.860 I

00:39:55.180 agree

00:39:57.080 with

00:39:58.240 I

00:39:58.640 have

00:40:14.100 have

00:40:14.980 that

00:40:15.400 the

00:40:16.200 of

00:40:23.080 no

00:40:23.320 longer

00:40:23.580 too

00:40:23.820 persuasive

00:40:24.400 to

00:40:24.880 me

00:40:25.120 because

00:40:25.840 the

00:40:27.040 gratuitous

00:40:28.120 cruelty

00:40:28.680 and

00:40:32.100 blacks

00:40:32.740 continued

00:40:35.740 century

00:40:36.180 and

00:40:36.400 it's

00:40:36.600 heartbreaking

00:40:37.160 to

00:40:37.560 witness

00:40:38.020 I

00:40:39.020 can

00:40:39.200 say

00:40:39.500 that

00:40:39.740 again

00:40:40.120 and

00:40:40.460 I

00:40:40.620 can

00:40:40.760 also

00:40:41.100 say

00:40:41.420 this

00:40:41.780 my

00:40:42.600 my

00:40:43.200 what

00:40:43.560 I've

00:40:43.840 come

00:40:44.100 to

00:40:44.340 understand

00:40:44.960 about

00:40:45.280 why

00:40:45.620 this

00:40:45.840 is

00:40:46.020 happening

00:40:46.360 now

00:40:46.800 is

00:40:47.900 I

00:40:48.160 think

00:40:48.420 the

00:40:48.620 elites

00:40:49.080 are

00:40:49.380 terrified

00:40:49.880 that

00:40:50.280 the

00:40:50.460 academic

00:40:50.960 skills

00:40:51.520 gap

00:40:51.940 is

00:40:52.240 not

00:40:52.540 going

00:40:52.740 to

00:40:52.860 close

00:40:53.380 or

00:40:54.000 the

00:40:54.160 behavior

00:40:54.640 skills

00:40:55.200 gap

00:40:55.540 that

00:40:55.760 means

00:40:56.060 that

00:40:56.360 blacks

00:40:57.080 are

00:40:57.300 killed

00:40:57.700 at

00:40:57.920 13

00:40:58.420 times

00:40:58.840 the

00:40:59.100 rate

00:40:59.480 of

00:41:00.180 whites

00:41:00.720 between

00:41:01.720 the

00:41:02.060 ages

00:41:02.280 of

00:41:02.480 10

00:41:02.700 and

00:41:02.820 43

00:41:03.360 they

00:41:04.020 die

00:41:04.420 at

00:41:04.600 13

00:41:04.960 times

00:41:05.320 the

00:41:05.520 rate

00:41:05.680 of

00:41:05.840 whites

00:41:06.100 why

00:41:06.660 because

00:41:07.520 their

00:41:07.840 crime

00:41:08.200 rates

00:41:08.520 are

00:41:08.720 that

00:41:08.940 much

00:41:09.200 higher

00:41:09.520 as

00:41:09.740 well

00:41:09.960 those

00:41:10.280 blacks

00:41:10.720 are

00:41:11.420 not

00:41:11.720 being

00:41:11.980 killed

00:41:12.260 by

00:41:12.500 cops

00:41:12.940 they're

00:41:13.340 not

00:41:13.520 being

00:41:13.720 killed

00:41:13.900 by

00:41:14.080 whites

00:41:14.380 they're

00:41:14.560 being

00:41:14.720 killed

00:41:14.920 by

00:41:15.140 other

00:41:15.340 blacks

00:41:15.800 so

00:41:16.300 there's

00:41:16.560 a

00:41:16.700 huge

00:41:16.980 crime

00:41:17.440 and

00:41:17.840 work

00:41:19.240 and

00:41:19.440 behavior

00:41:19.840 gap

00:41:20.280 there's

00:41:20.800 also

00:41:21.080 a

00:41:21.360 huge

00:41:21.820 academic

00:41:22.700 skills

00:41:23.240 gap

00:41:23.660 the

00:41:23.900 average

00:41:24.400 black

00:41:25.320 12th

00:41:25.900 grader

00:41:26.260 reads

00:41:28.280 of

00:41:28.900 white

00:41:29.400 8th

00:41:29.920 grader

00:41:30.380 54%

00:41:33.100 of

00:41:33.560 black

00:41:33.920 8th

00:41:34.300 graders

00:41:34.620 do not

00:41:35.120 possess

00:41:35.580 even

00:41:35.940 partial

00:41:36.640 mastery

00:41:37.720 of

00:41:38.780 math

00:41:40.960 skills

00:41:41.400 for an

00:41:41.780 8th

00:41:42.080 grade

00:41:42.280 level

00:41:42.680 at

00:41:43.240 that

00:41:43.560 rate

00:41:43.980 you're

00:41:44.480 not

00:41:44.720 going

00:41:45.020 to

00:41:45.200 it

00:41:45.400 is

00:41:45.580 absurd

00:41:46.120 to

00:41:46.360 expect

00:41:46.840 that

00:41:47.120 Google

00:41:47.480 is

00:41:47.760 going

00:41:47.900 to

00:41:48.000 have

00:41:48.340 13%

00:41:49.860 black

00:41:50.820 engineers

00:41:51.420 when

00:41:51.860 the

00:41:52.080 math

00:41:52.460 skills

00:41:52.960 are

00:41:53.660 so

00:41:54.100 so

00:41:54.460 low

00:41:54.860 and

00:41:55.120 they

00:41:55.260 never

00:41:55.540 get

00:41:55.800 better

00:41:56.140 over

00:41:56.320 the

00:41:56.440 course

00:41:56.600 of

00:41:56.740 college

00:41:57.000 so

00:41:57.760 I've

00:41:58.260 concluded

00:41:58.720 that

00:41:59.020 what's

00:41:59.300 going

00:41:59.580 on

00:41:59.840 now

00:42:00.160 with

00:42:00.420 this

00:42:00.700 fanatical

00:42:01.880 obsession

00:42:02.600 to

00:42:04.180 denounce

00:42:05.220 phantom

00:42:05.880 racism

00:42:06.500 where

00:42:06.840 again

00:42:07.200 as I

00:42:07.560 say

00:42:07.800 the

00:42:08.000 reality

00:42:08.400 of

00:42:08.620 our

00:42:08.780 world

00:42:09.020 is

00:42:09.220 black

00:42:09.520 privilege

00:42:10.060 where

00:42:11.040 every

00:42:11.820 institution

00:42:12.520 is

00:42:12.980 got

00:42:13.840 double

00:42:14.300 standards

00:42:15.020 to

00:42:15.400 admit

00:42:15.720 blacks

00:42:16.320 is

00:42:17.260 that

00:42:17.680 the

00:42:18.180 elites

00:42:18.640 are

00:42:18.940 terrified

00:42:19.420 that

00:42:19.740 after

00:42:20.200 the

00:42:20.580 60

00:42:21.100 years

00:42:21.600 of

00:42:21.820 civil

00:42:22.120 rights

00:42:22.480 effort

00:42:22.900 things

00:42:23.780 are

00:42:23.960 not

00:42:24.180 changing

00:42:24.560 for the

00:42:24.940 better

00:42:25.200 and the

00:42:25.640 only

00:42:25.980 allowable

00:42:26.580 explanation

00:42:27.280 that they

00:42:28.320 want in

00:42:28.940 play

00:42:29.380 is

00:42:30.120 racism

00:42:30.680 alternatives

00:42:31.520 like

00:42:32.060 culture

00:42:32.680 or

00:42:33.760 god

00:42:34.240 forbid

00:42:34.620 heritability

00:42:35.440 are

00:42:36.220 simply

00:42:36.780 taboo

00:42:38.180 as far

00:42:39.260 as the

00:42:39.600 female stuff

00:42:40.520 and males

00:42:41.200 that's

00:42:42.760 just

00:42:42.940 feminism

00:42:43.580 that

00:42:44.380 is

00:42:44.580 drunk

00:42:45.080 on

00:42:45.320 its

00:42:45.500 own

00:42:45.680 power

00:42:46.220 that

00:42:47.040 is

00:42:47.420 angry

00:42:48.720 for

00:42:49.160 no

00:42:49.460 reason

00:42:49.840 whatsoever

00:42:50.320 I

00:42:50.780 have

00:42:50.960 never

00:42:51.340 been

00:42:51.580 discriminated

00:42:52.320 against

00:42:52.740 in my

00:42:53.240 life

00:42:53.840 to the

00:42:55.240 contrary

00:42:55.740 I'm

00:42:56.240 sure

00:42:56.600 that

00:42:56.820 I've

00:42:57.020 been

00:42:57.160 the

00:42:57.400 recipient

00:42:58.180 of

00:42:58.680 unwarranted

00:42:59.420 gender

00:42:59.940 privilege

00:43:00.420 constantly

00:43:01.300 and

00:43:02.980 and yet

00:43:03.520 the

00:43:03.760 feminists

00:43:04.260 still

00:43:04.540 insist

00:43:04.920 on

00:43:05.200 playing

00:43:05.480 a

00:43:05.640 victim

00:43:05.880 card

00:43:06.200 which

00:43:06.420 is

00:43:06.580 ludicrous

00:43:07.360 well

00:43:08.680 they

00:43:08.980 are

00:43:09.140 aligned

00:43:09.600 with

00:43:10.060 the

00:43:10.700 left

00:43:11.100 the

00:43:11.700 marxist

00:43:12.600 left

00:43:12.960 in

00:43:13.240 this

00:43:13.500 country

00:43:13.900 and

00:43:15.160 understandably

00:43:16.120 they

00:43:16.720 you know

00:43:17.540 they are

00:43:18.020 drinking

00:43:18.580 from the

00:43:19.040 same

00:43:19.320 punch

00:43:19.820 bowl

00:43:20.180 are

00:43:21.220 they

00:43:21.420 inebriated

00:43:22.140 I

00:43:22.360 don't

00:43:22.740 know

00:43:23.060 but

00:43:23.280 they

00:43:23.480 are

00:43:23.720 simply

00:43:24.380 they

00:43:25.400 are

00:43:25.860 if

00:43:26.800 you

00:43:26.960 will

00:43:27.240 entertained

00:43:28.420 by the

00:43:28.800 prospect

00:43:29.220 of

00:43:29.760 all

00:43:30.600 of

00:43:30.740 that

00:43:30.900 political

00:43:31.300 power

00:43:31.780 that

00:43:32.020 they

00:43:32.220 enjoy

00:43:32.700 as

00:43:32.960 part

00:43:33.220 of

00:43:33.340 the

00:43:33.540 the

00:43:34.260 Democratic

00:43:35.100 Party's

00:43:35.760 coalition

00:43:36.340 and

00:43:37.380 to

00:43:37.500 what

00:43:37.700 end

00:43:37.960 it's

00:43:38.980 uncertain

00:43:39.520 and

00:43:40.600 the

00:43:41.020 role

00:43:41.440 of

00:43:41.940 white

00:43:42.600 males

00:43:43.180 whites

00:43:44.640 particularly

00:43:45.480 in this

00:43:45.980 society

00:43:46.560 you know

00:43:47.740 when I

00:43:48.080 when I'm

00:43:48.500 referring to

00:43:49.100 the

00:43:49.380 Civil War

00:43:50.140 and hundreds

00:43:50.580 of thousands

00:43:51.100 of Americans

00:43:51.700 dying to

00:43:52.420 free the

00:43:52.760 slaves

00:43:53.200 I'm just

00:43:53.980 talking about

00:43:54.300 how about

00:43:54.600 a footnote

00:43:55.060 in history

00:43:55.500 perhaps

00:43:56.280 just a

00:43:56.780 little

00:43:56.960 measure

00:43:57.440 of

00:43:58.000 credit

00:43:58.400 for doing

00:43:59.480 the right

00:43:59.900 thing

00:44:00.240 this

00:44:00.980 country

00:44:01.400 over

00:44:01.760 time

00:44:02.400 have

00:44:03.160 we

00:44:03.300 made

00:44:03.540 mistakes

00:44:04.000 have

00:44:04.220 we

00:44:04.400 had

00:44:04.680 periods

00:44:05.220 of

00:44:05.460 awful

00:44:06.840 and

00:44:07.100 ugly

00:44:07.600 inhuman

00:44:09.480 occasionally

00:44:10.360 behavior

00:44:11.860 certainly

00:44:12.440 but not

00:44:13.620 as a

00:44:14.040 main

00:44:14.300 course

00:44:14.820 of our

00:44:15.280 historic

00:44:15.940 advancement

00:44:17.020 the arc

00:44:18.320 of history

00:44:18.880 is not

00:44:19.460 bending

00:44:19.860 this

00:44:20.220 nation

00:44:20.660 toward

00:44:21.180 totalitarianism

00:44:23.220 toward

00:44:23.820 a

00:44:25.660 discordant

00:44:27.100 departure

00:44:28.840 from a

00:44:30.120 worship

00:44:30.880 of human

00:44:31.800 rights

00:44:32.280 and

00:44:32.960 and indeed

00:44:33.340 God

00:44:34.160 himself

00:44:35.020 this is

00:44:36.380 this is

00:44:36.880 a religious

00:44:37.440 country

00:44:38.540 it is

00:44:39.100 a

00:44:39.460 decent

00:44:40.220 country

00:44:40.780 and

00:44:41.100 when you

00:44:41.900 watch the

00:44:42.400 evening

00:44:42.660 news

00:44:43.160 or cable

00:44:44.240 television

00:44:45.100 you would

00:44:45.560 think my

00:44:46.040 gosh

00:44:46.620 who are

00:44:47.820 these

00:44:48.120 Americans

00:44:48.700 I find

00:44:49.460 them

00:44:49.600 unrecognizable

00:44:50.500 yeah

00:44:51.840 well

00:44:53.340 yes

00:44:53.920 and it's

00:44:54.880 not just

00:44:55.380 American

00:44:55.900 history

00:44:56.360 it's

00:44:56.640 western

00:44:57.020 history

00:44:57.560 that is

00:44:58.680 coming under

00:44:59.280 attack

00:44:59.720 by people

00:45:00.380 who are

00:45:00.760 completely

00:45:01.380 ignorant

00:45:01.960 the

00:45:03.120 you know

00:45:04.220 look

00:45:04.560 around

00:45:04.880 Lou

00:45:07.000 your

00:45:07.240 listeners

00:45:07.660 should

00:45:07.880 just

00:45:08.060 look

00:45:08.320 around

00:45:08.700 their

00:45:08.980 room

00:45:09.540 or

00:45:10.240 their

00:45:10.420 house

00:45:10.820 right

00:45:11.140 now

00:45:11.480 let

00:45:12.020 their

00:45:12.280 eye

00:45:12.600 rest

00:45:12.920 on

00:45:13.160 every

00:45:13.580 single

00:45:14.000 surface

00:45:14.600 every

00:45:15.400 single

00:45:15.900 surface

00:45:16.420 was

00:45:16.700 created

00:45:17.340 by

00:45:18.360 materials

00:45:19.300 engineer

00:45:20.040 all the

00:45:21.300 gadgets

00:45:21.800 we've

00:45:22.140 got

00:45:22.360 all the

00:45:22.760 furniture

00:45:23.280 all the

00:45:24.360 connectivity

00:45:25.080 all the

00:45:26.080 clean

00:45:26.420 water

00:45:26.820 all the

00:45:27.280 clean

00:45:27.600 food

00:45:28.240 it is

00:45:29.320 astounding

00:45:30.580 how

00:45:31.260 western

00:45:32.740 civilization

00:45:33.380 with a

00:45:34.140 rate of

00:45:34.720 scientific

00:45:35.260 discovery

00:45:36.120 of

00:45:37.080 amateur

00:45:38.320 dabblers

00:45:39.200 in

00:45:39.440 science

00:45:40.220 who were

00:45:40.560 drawn

00:45:41.140 by

00:45:41.640 the

00:45:42.380 desire

00:45:43.140 to

00:45:43.440 expand

00:45:44.080 human

00:45:44.520 knowledge

00:45:45.000 and

00:45:45.260 human

00:45:45.540 progress

00:45:46.260 have

00:45:47.280 transformed

00:45:49.260 human

00:45:50.120 existence

00:45:50.680 from

00:45:51.400 what was

00:45:52.100 millennia

00:45:53.800 of

00:45:54.200 squalor

00:45:55.160 and

00:45:55.900 poverty

00:45:56.560 and

00:45:57.160 death

00:45:57.800 and

00:45:58.560 premature

00:45:59.120 death

00:45:59.660 and

00:45:59.860 child

00:46:00.300 birth

00:46:00.640 child

00:46:01.260 death

00:46:01.720 into

00:46:02.580 something

00:46:03.040 that is

00:46:03.460 literally

00:46:04.420 unrecognizable

00:46:05.580 for somebody

00:46:06.260 to that

00:46:07.080 was living

00:46:07.520 200 years

00:46:08.360 ago

00:46:08.780 and

00:46:09.680 other

00:46:10.260 of course

00:46:11.320 other

00:46:11.660 civilizations

00:46:12.420 have

00:46:12.740 created

00:46:13.160 wonderful

00:46:14.260 monuments

00:46:15.040 wonderful

00:46:16.700 traditions

00:46:17.360 of

00:46:17.840 literature

00:46:18.540 and

00:46:18.940 theater

00:46:19.320 and

00:46:20.340 and

00:46:20.720 and

00:46:21.080 art

00:46:21.640 but

00:46:22.420 the fact

00:46:23.100 of the

00:46:23.400 matter

00:46:23.700 is

00:46:24.180 is

00:46:24.460 that

00:46:24.900 western

00:46:26.100 civilization

00:46:26.740 with its

00:46:27.500 dedication

00:46:28.160 to the

00:46:28.600 scientific

00:46:29.040 method

00:46:29.720 and

00:46:30.620 tolerance

00:46:31.280 and

00:46:31.640 freedom

00:46:32.000 is the

00:46:33.460 driver

00:46:34.140 of

00:46:35.340 world

00:46:35.920 progress

00:46:36.560 today

00:46:37.040 and yet

00:46:37.500 you have

00:46:37.960 these

00:46:38.220 college

00:46:38.720 students

00:46:39.140 abetted

00:46:39.640 by their

00:46:40.180 professors

00:46:41.080 mouthing

00:46:42.360 empty

00:46:43.160 bromides

00:46:44.280 about

00:46:45.260 you know

00:46:46.260 colonialism

00:46:47.100 and oppression

00:46:48.040 they know

00:46:49.180 nothing

00:46:49.980 about

00:46:50.920 what was

00:46:51.800 accomplished

00:46:52.580 with the

00:46:54.020 enlightenment

00:46:54.660 with the

00:46:55.780 long

00:46:56.160 evolution

00:46:56.680 of

00:46:56.940 constitutional

00:46:57.600 history

00:46:58.180 they take

00:46:59.000 it all

00:46:59.500 for granted

00:47:00.080 and want

00:47:00.600 to throw

00:47:01.020 it away

00:47:01.540 confident

00:47:02.440 as they

00:47:02.940 are

00:47:03.180 that nobody

00:47:03.740 will ever

00:47:04.220 destroy

00:47:05.200 their own

00:47:05.800 standard

00:47:06.180 of living

00:47:06.720 you know

00:47:07.640 I to

00:47:08.700 my knowledge

00:47:09.220 I've never

00:47:09.600 met a

00:47:10.020 white

00:47:10.280 supremacist

00:47:11.120 but I

00:47:12.240 have met

00:47:12.820 plenty

00:47:13.300 of

00:47:14.480 virtue

00:47:15.760 supremacists

00:47:16.800 of late

00:47:18.140 who tell

00:47:19.220 me that

00:47:19.580 because

00:47:19.880 they are

00:47:20.380 leftists

00:47:21.660 because

00:47:22.180 they are

00:47:23.280 they live

00:47:25.020 in a world

00:47:25.400 of advanced

00:47:26.140 degrees

00:47:27.540 in

00:47:28.820 academia

00:47:29.760 that they

00:47:30.680 know better

00:47:31.260 and suddenly

00:47:32.720 I'm finding

00:47:33.160 the same

00:47:33.540 thing in

00:47:34.080 the democratic

00:47:34.680 party

00:47:35.140 we will

00:47:35.980 have

00:47:36.180 mandates

00:47:36.740 we will

00:47:37.720 not discuss

00:47:38.480 we will

00:47:38.860 not persuade

00:47:39.400 we will

00:47:39.860 not lead

00:47:40.400 we will

00:47:40.740 not seek

00:47:41.180 the consensus

00:47:41.840 of the

00:47:42.260 governed

00:47:42.600 we will

00:47:43.780 issue

00:47:44.400 mandates

00:47:45.140 fiat

00:47:46.140 dicta

00:47:47.280 and I

00:47:48.300 can't

00:47:48.740 find much

00:47:49.300 of a

00:47:49.560 difference

00:47:49.900 between

00:47:50.280 that

00:47:50.700 kind

00:47:51.100 of

00:47:51.260 thinking

00:47:51.580 on the

00:47:51.900 part

00:47:52.140 of our

00:47:52.480 globalist

00:47:53.100 elites

00:47:53.420 in this

00:47:53.760 country

00:47:54.020 right now

00:47:54.660 and the

00:47:55.780 Stalinists

00:47:56.520 and the

00:47:57.600 Soviet

00:47:58.040 in the

00:47:58.780 Soviet

00:47:59.100 era

00:47:59.440 totalitarianism

00:48:00.440 I don't

00:48:01.440 I don't

00:48:01.460 have the

00:48:01.840 answer to

00:48:02.540 that

00:48:02.900 well I ask

00:48:03.860 myself that all

00:48:04.640 the time is it can we be certain that liberty and a respect for the first amendment and free speech is enough in our DNA as Americans to prevent us from sliding into Soviet style totalitarianism and I don't have the answer to that question

00:48:24.580 but when I see the censorship that's being exercised now in the private sphere with the obvious sub Rosa encouragement of the Democratic Party right it is very very worrisome and you know the the John Stuart Mill got it right the marketplace of ideas is the best way to arrive at truth if you think an idea is wrong the solution is not to suppress it it's

00:48:54.560 to come up with a better idea and that's not what's going on now it isn't and to your earlier assessment on the elites and their concerns about not being able to find a satisfactory explanation for enlarged gaps when they have spent trillions of dollars trying to narrow them

00:49:17.800 and to do so in ways in which they can create some sort of politically sociologically acceptable veneer that doesn't disturb anyone the fact of the matter is our meritocracy that was America a public school education that was the greatest equalizer in our society period

00:49:41.800 all now threatened by all now threatened by the madness of the left and the coalescence of corporate power academic power and the political Marxist left in this country

00:49:55.340 well standards have disparate impact the most pernicious concept in our world today is disparate impact it holds that any academic standard any behavioral standard that has a disparate impact on blacks is by definition

00:50:11.720 racist racist so if you have you know high standards for admission to a selective high school whether it's stuyvesant high school in new york or or some of the schools in boston or virginia

00:50:24.300 and that results in a student population that is not equally distributed demographically by population groups then those standards have to go down because they're racist or if the standards for scientific laboratory work or for medical research have a disparate impact and they don't result in a team doing cancer research that is 50 percent female and 13 percent black and

00:50:53.240 for 15 percent hispanic then those standards have to go because they have disparate impact uh and and you know that is that is what's tearing everything down and it is very scary to live in a world where meritocracy uh is so destroyed because as you say meritocracy is the key to to to to progress and to human striving but but here's the dirty secret

00:51:21.140 you can you can have meritocracy you can have meritocracy you cannot have both given the academic skills gap uh you can choose you can choose one or the other but but they are and and diversity they are they are mutually exclusive diversity is simply a code word for racial preferences

00:51:45.360 it has become such i think you're exactly right and we are also in a society that is no longer talking about equal opportunity and uh and finding a way forward where uh there is great advancement it's happening because we have the momentum of this country's history

00:52:06.920 and in our system of history and in our system of government but it is being eroded uh almost almost every day by whether it be a government program whether it be a new uh edict emanating from the white house

00:52:21.380 or we look to the southern border where 2 million illegal immigrants have crossed over in the course of the past year uh not all of them will stay in the country but many if not most will

00:52:33.300 and there is an open border for sex trafficking human smuggling drug smuggling uh and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of americans to overdoses because of those drugs whether it be fentanyl heroin marijuana cocaine uh that is upon us as our government does not perform the basic fundamental uh functions of government which is to preserve and protect the republic

00:53:03.120 well lou i'm i'm i'm surprised to hear you using a sort of a utilitarian argument for border control which is this you know drawing upon well the criminals are coming and the drugs are coming or the or the terrorists are coming that is all true

00:53:17.120 but it is also simply even without that it is a demographic change that is going to transform is transforming our culture i'm a los angeles native
