The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1192 - Democrats Take A Page From Primitive Tribal Shaman, Blaming Their Enemies For The Weather

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, Hillary Clinton takes a page from primitive tribal shamans by blaming the weather on her political opponents.

00:00:06.400 We've gotten used to this kind of superstitious thinking from the left, and it's only getting more deranged as time goes on.

00:00:11.260 Also, historic UFO hearings in D.C. This is fascinating stuff, and if you don't find it fascinating, then you're wrong.

00:00:17.480 And Mitch McConnell has some kind of health episode during a press conference.

00:00:20.600 This is happening more and more often since our country is being led by dinosaurs.

00:00:24.160 And our daily cancellation, a tribute to a brave Democratic politician who protested a non-existent law with a hunger strike that lasted many, many, many minutes.

00:00:33.720 We'll talk about that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:43.860 We're days away from the Durban Accords, the greatest threat to the U.S. dollar's global dominance in the past 80 years.

00:00:49.640 On August 22nd, BRICS nations are expected to announce the launch of a new international supercurrency fully backed by gold or other commodities as part of their long-term plan to supplant America and the dollar as cornerstones of the global financial system.

00:01:02.160 You can protect your IRA or 401k from the fallout of this landmark announcement by diversifying with gold from Birch Gold.

00:01:08.040 Historically, gold has been a safe haven in times of high uncertainty, which is right now.

00:01:12.640 When currencies fail, gold is a safe haven.

00:01:14.780 How much more time does the dollar have?

00:01:16.860 Well, you can protect your savings with gold.

00:01:18.760 But Birch Gold has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and thousands of happy customers.

00:01:22.480 You can find out why by texting Walsh to 989898 and get your free info kit on gold.

00:01:27.400 If a central bank digital currency becomes a reality, it'll be nice to have some gold to depend on.

00:01:32.640 Again, text Walsh to 989898.

00:01:36.660 Over the last century, archaeologists in China uncovered tens of thousands of ancient oracle bones,

00:01:42.480 which are the bones of animals that carry some kind of inscription.

00:01:45.300 The discoveries prove that during the Shang Dynasty in ancient China,

00:01:48.760 humans and animals were often sacrificed in order to change the weather.

00:01:51.980 One inscription on an oracle bone read simply,

00:01:54.420 Should a man be burnt at the stakes? Will rain follow?

00:01:57.440 Most of these victims, anthropologists noted, were slaves, prisoners of war, beggars, cripples.

00:02:03.100 The Chinese believed that by killing off these undesirables, they'd cause it to rain.

00:02:06.980 And in that sense, the ancient Chinese had a lot in common with many other ancient cultures,

00:02:11.780 including the Aztecs, who fought wars to secure new victims for their human sacrifices.

00:02:16.720 And those sacrifices included the ritual killing of children on top of a mountain or a pyramid

00:02:21.580 to honor Tlaloc, their god of rainfall.

00:02:25.320 Thousands of years later, we have inventions like meteorology and the Internet.

00:02:28.560 So you might think that ritual sacrifices would have stopped, but in many parts of the world, they've persisted.

00:02:33.080 In 2007, for example, Nepal's state-run airline was having a lot of issues with one of their Boeing aircraft.

00:02:39.540 And their solution at the time was to sacrifice two goats in front of the plane

00:02:43.760 to appease the sky god and ensure that the plane had safe passage.

00:02:48.000 Executives were thrilled when the plane managed to take off and land.

00:02:51.500 So I guess it worked.

00:02:52.440 At the time, the story was mostly met with amusement in this country.

00:02:56.440 It was unthinkable for anything like that to happen here, we thought.

00:03:00.340 Sure, we have no room to make fun of them.

00:03:02.080 I mean, they might sacrifice a goat outside of the plane,

00:03:05.920 but we allow people to bring goats and other animals onto the planes as emotional support animals.

00:03:11.200 As a passenger, I would prefer the sacrifice strategy personally.

00:03:14.120 But at any rate, people clicked on the story from Nepal,

00:03:17.040 maybe learned something about customs there, had a good chuckle, and then went about their day.

00:03:23.180 In retrospect, that was a mistake, because as it turns out,

00:03:27.020 we were never that far away from hearing our own politicians claim that they too have the power

00:03:31.800 to change the weather with their own offerings to the sky god.

00:03:36.060 Somehow that line has officially been crossed in this country.

00:03:39.640 And recently, a couple days ago, Hillary Clinton posted a tweet blaming Donald Trump supporters

00:03:44.340 for the fact that the temperature has gone up this summer.

00:03:48.060 Here it is, quote,

00:03:48.800 Now, you might recall that MAGA Republicans is an epithet that appeared out of nowhere about a year ago

00:04:00.500 when Democratic Party consultants made it up.

00:04:03.420 And already, these MAGA Republicans are affecting the weather simply by existing.

00:04:08.740 How are they doing that?

00:04:11.740 One of the articles that Hillary Clinton cites in her tweet was published in Forbes,

00:04:15.400 and the piece reported that, quote,

00:04:17.320 July 4th was Earth's hottest day in over 100,000 years.

00:04:21.820 Now, that's quite a claim, since we've only been able to track temperatures for the past 140 years.

00:04:27.580 According to NASA, quote,

00:04:28.600 There are too few data before 1880 for scientists to estimate average temperatures for the entire planet.

00:04:34.540 That's what NASA says.

00:04:36.760 And even for the past 140 years, it seems highly dubious to assume

00:04:40.340 that the records are accurate enough to confidently declare

00:04:44.060 that we experienced the hottest day in a century,

00:04:46.860 really a century and a half this month.

00:04:49.440 Does anyone think that we actually have a precisely accurate idea

00:04:52.720 of what the temperature was everywhere on the planet on, say,

00:04:55.580 I don't know, August 11th, 1893?

00:04:59.180 Much less do we have, do we know the global temperature on August 11th, 1893 B.C.

00:05:05.000 So, suffice it to say, the Forbes piece is not especially strong evidence

00:05:08.900 to support the idea that Trump voters are somehow making it hot during the summer.

00:05:15.100 They have not even come close to proving that we've had the hottest day in 140 years,

00:05:20.700 much less 100,000 years.

00:05:22.620 And so, they also have not proven that this weather is being caused by MAGA Republicans.

00:05:30.400 So, there are two things that need to be proved here, and they've done none of that.

00:05:34.200 So, let's take stock of what's happening.

00:05:36.740 This is the kind of thing we often laugh about and then just kind of move on from,

00:05:39.760 but we should really spend some time thinking about this.

00:05:43.200 One of the most prominent Democrats in the country,

00:05:46.260 a former Secretary of State, former presidential candidate,

00:05:49.120 just sincerely blamed her political opponents for making it hot outside.

00:05:53.720 And she did it on the basis of no evidence whatsoever.

00:05:56.420 In fact, she lied about what little evidence she did present.

00:05:59.700 Now, on some level, we're used to the climate change hysteria

00:06:02.460 and the constant claims that the world is ending,

00:06:04.260 so this might not seem like anything new.

00:06:06.740 But what makes this so especially insane

00:06:08.760 is that she's claiming that not only does human activity change the weather,

00:06:12.940 but that a relatively small group of humans can bring about substantial changes in the weather

00:06:18.080 in the span of just a few years.

00:06:20.800 So, this is not just human activity has caused global temperatures to rise

00:06:25.680 by two degrees in 150 years or whatever.

00:06:28.520 This is, we're having a devastating heat wave

00:06:31.620 because of what my political opponents did last Tuesday.

00:06:35.400 We are in full-on primitive superstition territory here.

00:06:39.200 Blaming your enemies for a heat wave is the kind of thing

00:06:42.380 that you'd expect to hear from a tribal chieftain

00:06:45.560 in a loincloth in the Amazon somewhere.

00:06:48.380 Though I think even most of them are too advanced at this point

00:06:50.740 to believe in that sort of thing.

00:06:52.820 But that's the level of science that senior Democrats are now pushing.

00:06:57.560 What comes next?

00:06:58.680 In every other culture that's gone down this path,

00:07:00.820 ritual sacrifice is what comes next.

00:07:02.860 Hillary Clinton's already identified the problem.

00:07:04.640 It's predominantly middle-class Americans who voted the wrong way in the last election.

00:07:10.400 They held too many cookouts.

00:07:11.840 They drove trucks that were too big.

00:07:14.340 Therefore, they're making it hot outside.

00:07:16.520 And they need to pay.

00:07:18.260 That's what she believes.

00:07:20.060 How long before Hillary suggests building a giant pyramid

00:07:22.380 and cutting the heart out of a middle-aged white guy

00:07:24.240 in a red hat in order to appease Mother Earth?

00:07:27.280 Or maybe just for fun?

00:07:29.720 What's really alarming is that it's not just Hillary Clinton who thinks this way.

00:07:32.720 The rest of the party and the media has been building to this conclusion for a long time.

00:07:38.840 They're not just blaming human activity for the weather.

00:07:41.060 They're blaming very recent and isolated human activity for the weather.

00:07:45.960 This kind of thinking took off sometime around 2018

00:07:48.460 when the Climate Institute warned that people are changing the weather currently actively

00:07:53.260 just by running their air conditioning units.

00:07:56.300 The analysts determined that, quote,

00:07:58.460 using and producing air conditioning equipment exacerbates climate change.

00:08:01.660 And they proposed that in lieu of using air conditioning,

00:08:05.440 you know, people wear short sleeves and rely on blinds and curtains more often.

00:08:10.260 Otherwise, they said the climate will change.

00:08:12.980 And of course, the climate did change because climates always change

00:08:16.160 because that's what climates do.

00:08:18.660 The same year, the Washington Post ran an op-ed entitled,

00:08:22.100 Another Hurricane is About to Batter Our Coast.

00:08:24.620 Trump is Complicit.

00:08:25.840 It's Complicit in a Hurricane,

00:08:29.620 which is like accusing someone of being complicit in a solar eclipse.

00:08:35.620 So it took just a year after he came into office for the Washington Post

00:08:38.840 to blame Trump for bad weather.

00:08:41.760 Then two months before the last presidential election,

00:08:44.440 as wildfires spread across California,

00:08:47.220 Joe Biden endorsed that position,

00:08:49.620 as totally deranged as it is.

00:08:51.560 The Defense Department reported that climate change is a direct threat

00:08:58.840 to more than two-thirds of the military's operationally critical installations.

00:09:05.340 That's what the military warned him.

00:09:07.320 And this could well be,

00:09:11.280 this well could be a conservative estimate.

00:09:15.260 Donald Trump's climate denial

00:09:18.060 may not have caused these fires

00:09:20.860 and record floods

00:09:22.500 and record hurricanes.

00:09:24.480 But if he gets a second term,

00:09:26.960 these hellish events will continue to become more common,

00:09:30.520 more devastating, and more deadly.

00:09:32.740 If Trump gets a second term,

00:09:35.600 Biden said,

00:09:36.660 then, quote,

00:09:37.100 these hellish events will continue to become more common,

00:09:39.180 more devastating, and more deadly.

00:09:40.440 In other words,

00:09:41.260 we'll have more hurricanes, wildfires, and floods,

00:09:43.860 and there'll be more dangerous

00:09:45.540 if Donald Trump is in office for four years

00:09:48.300 instead of Joe Biden.

00:09:49.700 That's what he's saying.

00:09:50.800 And that was Joe Biden in 2020.

00:09:52.000 Has anyone followed up with him on that pledge

00:09:54.000 now that he's been in office for several years?

00:09:57.220 Has he declared victory over bad weather?

00:09:59.540 Remember, he promised to cure cancer.

00:10:02.640 I think cancer's still around, last I checked.

00:10:05.360 Bad weather.

00:10:06.220 We're still having bad weather.

00:10:07.920 In fact, he and his allies, like Hillary Clinton,

00:10:09.980 are actually telling us

00:10:10.840 that the weather has only gotten worse.

00:10:13.680 That's what they are telling us.

00:10:15.840 He promised it in 2020

00:10:17.120 that if Trump is not voted into office,

00:10:19.340 then the weather will get better.

00:10:20.800 It's gonna get worse if Trump is voted into office,

00:10:23.800 which would lead us to believe that if he's not,

00:10:26.480 the weather will get better.

00:10:27.480 Now they're telling us

00:10:28.720 that the weather's only getting worse,

00:10:30.580 which means I guess we can blame Joe Biden for that.

00:10:34.120 Every wildfire, every hurricane is Joe Biden's fault.

00:10:37.120 That's the precedent they've set.

00:10:39.200 Oh no, now they say,

00:10:40.340 well, the only way to keep the weather

00:10:41.760 from continuing to get worse

00:10:43.300 is to keep voting for them.

00:10:45.920 This is the scam.

00:10:46.900 And of course, none of it is remotely true.

00:10:49.040 Here's the data on global annual deaths

00:10:51.400 from natural disasters,

00:10:52.640 including wildfires, volcanoes,

00:10:54.640 extreme temperatures, droughts, earthquakes, floods.

00:10:57.460 It covers the 1990s all the way to the 2010s.

00:11:00.220 And if you look at a chart,

00:11:02.160 you can notice how things are much safer now

00:11:05.020 by every metric, in fact.

00:11:07.940 But you never hear about this.

00:11:10.480 Instead, you're told that natural disasters

00:11:11.940 are getting more common and more deadly.

00:11:14.780 Currently, they're reporting

00:11:15.520 that the fires in Canada are historic.

00:11:18.260 They said the same thing

00:11:19.240 about the California fires a few years ago.

00:11:21.860 In fact, every time there's a wildfire now,

00:11:23.520 it seems like it's historic.

00:11:24.720 This has never happened before.

00:11:26.420 The world has never seen anything like this.

00:11:29.540 The truth is that wildfires used to be

00:11:31.760 in order of magnitude worse than they are now.

00:11:35.100 Ever hear about the great Midwest wildfires of 1871?

00:11:38.980 Probably not.

00:11:40.880 Somehow it's never mentioned.

00:11:42.160 And that's strange

00:11:43.020 because according to the National Weather Service,

00:11:45.160 it was the deadliest series of wildfires

00:11:47.080 in American history.

00:11:49.140 Those fires killed thousands of people,

00:11:51.200 destroyed millions of acres.

00:11:52.340 How did that happen?

00:11:55.140 How did it happen more than a century

00:11:57.220 before the rise of the MAGA Republicans

00:11:59.120 who are causing all of this?

00:12:01.180 Are MAGA Republicans able to control the weather

00:12:03.400 in the past too?

00:12:05.420 How far does their sorcery reach?

00:12:08.300 I guess we'll have to ask Hillary Clinton about that.

00:12:11.040 But let's be charitable for a second.

00:12:12.160 Let's assume, for the sake of argument,

00:12:14.100 that none of these outlets and politicians are lying.

00:12:17.020 Let's pretend that we are in a climate emergency

00:12:20.500 and everybody's about to burn up and die.

00:12:22.800 Okay, let's just pretend that for a moment.

00:12:25.520 Well, if that's the case,

00:12:27.580 you'd think Hillary Clinton would be tweeting

00:12:29.000 nonstop about China.

00:12:30.520 You'd think that Joe Biden would be imposing sanctions.

00:12:34.520 China's carbon emissions are more than double America's.

00:12:37.040 In fact, China emits more carbon

00:12:39.320 than every developed nation on the planet combined.

00:12:42.460 Have they done anything to curb these emissions

00:12:45.860 that are killing everybody?

00:12:49.640 I mean, this is an act of war.

00:12:51.040 If carbon emissions are causing wildfires

00:12:53.320 and hurricanes in the United States,

00:12:54.980 then this is like an act of war

00:12:56.600 by China against the United States.

00:13:00.440 So what is Joe Biden doing about it?

00:13:03.480 I mean, China is building the equivalent

00:13:04.960 of two large coal plants every week.

00:13:08.280 This year, China's carbon emissions

00:13:09.780 have already set a new record.

00:13:12.460 But Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden don't seem concerned.

00:13:15.180 Instead, they're demanding that you give up your gas stove

00:13:17.740 and vote for them or else.

00:13:19.980 They leave China alone in the meantime.

00:13:22.060 Now, we've seen this before.

00:13:22.900 Remember when the left went on a campaign

00:13:25.700 against plastic straws a few years ago

00:13:28.080 and they were warning that our plastic straws

00:13:30.800 are polluting the ocean and killing the sea turtles?

00:13:34.440 And that's the whole reason why when you go somewhere now,

00:13:36.480 you get those flimsy paper straws

00:13:38.240 that dissolve in your soda the moment you try to use them.

00:13:42.460 Well, that's a sacrifice we've got to make

00:13:44.700 to keep the sea turtles healthy.

00:13:47.040 Well, what they refuse to mention is that

00:13:49.380 many Asian countries dump their trash

00:13:52.020 directly into their rivers,

00:13:54.320 sending millions of tons of garbage,

00:13:56.340 straws included,

00:13:57.800 floating out into the ocean

00:13:59.100 in a giant conveyor belt-like system every year.

00:14:03.320 Now we're seeing this same pattern play out

00:14:05.400 with carbon emissions.

00:14:06.880 Except in this case,

00:14:08.000 our leaders are the ones who enabled China's rise

00:14:11.420 as the world's largest polluter.

00:14:13.560 20 years ago, Bill Clinton approved

00:14:15.060 the U.S.-China trade agreement

00:14:16.480 and China's entrance into the World Trade Organization.

00:14:20.440 He said that more trade with China

00:14:22.500 would benefit Americans.

00:14:23.860 He promised that it would not crush

00:14:25.800 the U.S. manufacturing sector.

00:14:27.180 Quite the opposite.

00:14:28.280 Quote, we'll be able to export products

00:14:29.660 without exporting jobs, he promised.

00:14:31.300 And how has that worked out exactly?

00:14:35.340 But they refuse to take any responsibility

00:14:37.080 for their role in creating

00:14:39.000 the single greatest polluter on the planet.

00:14:42.600 Someone who, by their logic

00:14:44.220 and by their argument,

00:14:45.460 is killing the planet and all of us.

00:14:50.400 The Clintons and the rest of their party

00:14:52.120 have displayed no self-reflection

00:14:54.140 or regret whatsoever about what they did.

00:14:56.340 That's because they don't regret it.

00:14:58.360 They don't care about carbon emissions.

00:15:01.300 And you know what?

00:15:02.180 They don't really think

00:15:03.220 that MAGA Republicans,

00:15:04.660 whoever those are,

00:15:05.640 are actively making it hot in the summer.

00:15:08.460 At least the leftists in charge

00:15:09.820 don't buy that stuff.

00:15:11.780 It's all fake.

00:15:13.660 Okay?

00:15:13.960 They care about power

00:15:15.040 to the point that Hillary Clinton

00:15:17.080 is now babbling like an Aztec shaman.

00:15:19.900 Except the Aztec shaman

00:15:21.240 would at least acknowledge

00:15:22.360 that he's practicing religion, not science.

00:15:26.360 We are ruled by people

00:15:27.780 who can't tell the difference.

00:15:29.340 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:37.300 As many of you know,

00:15:38.300 I wasn't super thrilled

00:15:39.160 when my family got a dog,

00:15:40.500 but they're obsessed with the thing,

00:15:42.520 which is why,

00:15:43.080 despite my own distaste

00:15:44.200 for the mangy beast,

00:15:45.040 I love making my family happy.

00:15:46.780 Part of doing that

00:15:47.280 is keeping this freeloader

00:15:48.300 as healthy as possible,

00:15:49.260 which is why I give my dog Rough Greens.

00:15:51.540 Dr. Dennis Black,

00:15:52.380 the founder of Rough Greens,

00:15:53.580 is focused on improving the health

00:15:54.720 of every dog in America.

00:15:55.720 Little did I know

00:15:56.980 before I got Rough Greens,

00:15:58.140 dog food is dead food.

00:15:59.920 Everybody knows

00:16:00.380 that nutrition isn't brown,

00:16:01.600 it's green.

00:16:02.600 Let Rough Green

00:16:03.320 boost your dog's food

00:16:04.680 back to life.

00:16:05.820 Rough Greens

00:16:06.160 is a supplement

00:16:07.320 that contains

00:16:08.100 all the necessary vitamins,

00:16:09.280 minerals, probiotics,

00:16:10.200 omega oils,

00:16:11.180 digestive enzymes,

00:16:12.200 and antioxidants

00:16:12.760 that your dog needs.

00:16:14.100 You don't have to go out

00:16:14.900 and buy new dog food,

00:16:16.040 you just sprinkle Rough Greens

00:16:17.060 on their food every day.

00:16:18.760 Dog owners everywhere

00:16:19.480 are raving about Rough Greens.

00:16:20.900 It supports healthy joints,

00:16:21.820 improves bad breath,

00:16:23.060 boosts energy levels,

00:16:23.920 and so much more.

00:16:24.960 We are what we eat

00:16:26.060 and that goes for our dogs too.

00:16:27.960 Dr. Dennis Black

00:16:28.560 is so confident

00:16:29.220 Rough Greens

00:16:29.600 will improve your dog's health.

00:16:49.880 We begin five headlines

00:16:51.040 exactly where you expected us

00:16:52.940 to begin

00:16:53.380 with the UFO hearings

00:16:54.560 on Capitol Hill.

00:16:55.520 The historic hearings,

00:16:57.200 actually historic.

00:16:59.060 In this case,

00:16:59.680 they really are historic.

00:17:00.920 Daily Wire reports

00:17:01.500 lawmakers held

00:17:02.120 an explosive hearing

00:17:02.980 on Wednesday

00:17:03.440 on the topic of UFOs

00:17:04.780 and things got,

00:17:06.000 well, weird.

00:17:06.620 Appearing before

00:17:07.120 the House Oversight Committee's

00:17:08.740 National Security Subcommittee

00:17:10.420 was David Grush,

00:17:11.680 a former intelligence officer,

00:17:13.320 along with two fighter pilots

00:17:14.700 with firsthand

00:17:15.360 unidentified aerial

00:17:16.700 phenomenon experiences.

00:17:19.020 Grush was the star

00:17:19.960 revealing an alleged

00:17:20.820 top-secret multi-decade

00:17:22.380 crash retrieval

00:17:23.380 and reverse engineering program

00:17:24.780 only to be denied access

00:17:26.400 and accusing the military

00:17:27.340 of misappropriating funds.

00:17:29.640 Grush dropped a bombshell

00:17:30.920 about aircraft

00:17:31.480 with non-human origins

00:17:32.760 complete with biologics

00:17:34.360 recovered from

00:17:34.980 these mysterious crafts.

00:17:37.480 Lawmakers from both sides

00:17:38.460 of the aisle

00:17:38.800 are now scratching their heads

00:17:39.800 wondering how in the world

00:17:40.720 or beyond it

00:17:41.280 they should proceed

00:17:41.960 with these astonishing claims.

00:17:43.040 Well, we have

00:17:45.060 rather than reading the article

00:17:46.140 I suppose we have

00:17:46.720 some of these clips

00:17:47.340 and I mean

00:17:48.480 I prefer to play

00:17:49.180 the whole hearing.

00:17:50.600 It'd be worth our time

00:17:51.600 but I can't really do that

00:17:52.760 so I have to boil this down

00:17:54.320 to like two or three moments

00:17:56.380 that I think

00:17:57.100 are the most important.

00:17:58.680 So we'll start here

00:17:59.740 with Representative Nancy Mays

00:18:01.060 questioning

00:18:02.140 Mr. Grush

00:18:03.260 and here's how that one.

00:18:05.420 Watch.

00:18:06.540 Do you believe

00:18:07.040 our government

00:18:07.460 has made contact

00:18:08.400 with intelligent

00:18:09.600 extraterrestrials?

00:18:12.700 Something I can't discuss

00:18:14.320 in a public setting.

00:18:17.680 Okay, I can't ask

00:18:18.800 when you think

00:18:19.240 this occurred.

00:18:20.880 If you believe

00:18:21.860 we have crashed craft

00:18:23.440 stated earlier

00:18:24.540 do we have the bodies

00:18:25.600 of the pilots

00:18:26.320 who piloted this craft?

00:18:28.440 As I've stated publicly

00:18:29.680 already in my

00:18:30.320 News Nation interview

00:18:31.260 biologics came

00:18:32.600 with some of these

00:18:33.280 recoveries.

00:18:34.120 Yeah.

00:18:36.680 Were they I guess

00:18:37.820 human or non-human

00:18:38.820 biologics?

00:18:40.640 Non-human

00:18:41.280 and that was

00:18:41.700 the assessment

00:18:42.220 of people

00:18:42.860 with direct knowledge

00:18:43.820 on the program

00:18:44.260 I talked to

00:18:44.740 that are currently

00:18:45.320 still on the program.

00:18:47.620 Now we're going

00:18:48.220 to talk about that

00:18:48.920 but I want to play

00:18:49.680 all these clips

00:18:50.920 before we talk.

00:18:51.640 So here we have

00:18:53.500 witnesses talking

00:18:54.480 about the technology

00:18:56.280 and capabilities

00:18:57.360 of the UFOs

00:18:58.240 and by the way

00:18:58.820 again these are people

00:18:59.540 who personally witnessed

00:19:00.700 some of these crafts

00:19:03.080 and not only witnessed it

00:19:04.700 but we also have

00:19:05.460 video of what they witnessed.

00:19:06.900 This is a fair amount

00:19:08.460 of evidence

00:19:08.960 but here's what they say.

00:19:12.180 They move

00:19:12.920 essentially ways

00:19:15.120 in which current

00:19:15.700 technology or aircraft

00:19:16.560 that we know of

00:19:17.300 are unable to actually

00:19:18.500 function or move

00:19:19.260 and so will you just

00:19:20.280 for the public record

00:19:21.160 again once again

00:19:22.120 just briefly

00:19:25.020 either describe

00:19:27.060 or note

00:19:28.120 that aircraft

00:19:29.120 that we witness

00:19:29.740 particularly by the 30 folks

00:19:31.000 that you're working with

00:19:31.780 are essentially

00:19:32.700 outside the scope

00:19:34.020 of anything that we know

00:19:34.740 of today

00:19:35.040 and the technology

00:19:35.520 we have today.

00:19:36.100 Mr. Graves,

00:19:36.680 Mr. Fravor?

00:19:37.980 Yes, the objects

00:19:39.240 that are being seen

00:19:40.020 by commercial pilots

00:19:40.920 are performing maneuvers

00:19:42.540 that are unexplainable

00:19:44.020 due to our current

00:19:44.920 understanding

00:19:45.320 of our technology

00:19:46.080 and our capabilities

00:19:46.760 as a country

00:19:47.480 and that applies

00:19:48.420 for the military as well.

00:19:49.600 Mr. Fravor?

00:19:51.480 Yeah, I concur with that.

00:19:52.460 We have nothing

00:19:53.080 that can stop in midair

00:19:54.280 and go the other direction

00:19:55.200 nor do we have anything

00:19:56.260 that can like in our situation

00:19:57.980 come down from space

00:19:58.940 hang out for three hours

00:19:59.900 and go back up.

00:20:00.660 Thank you.

00:20:00.920 My last question

00:20:01.460 and sometimes

00:20:02.320 I know you have also

00:20:03.800 said some of these

00:20:04.660 answers in the past

00:20:05.720 but we're trying to get them

00:20:06.380 on the public record as well

00:20:07.400 which is really important.

00:20:08.680 Mr. Graves, finally

00:20:09.360 do you believe

00:20:09.840 that our government

00:20:10.380 is in possession

00:20:10.980 of UAPs?

00:20:13.020 Absolutely

00:20:13.420 based on interviewing

00:20:14.600 over 40 witnesses

00:20:16.100 over four years.

00:20:17.100 And where?

00:20:18.800 I know the exact locations.

00:20:21.720 Okay.

00:20:22.540 So these are

00:20:23.340 one thing we hear

00:20:24.500 the people

00:20:26.040 who want to

00:20:27.820 dismiss what Graves

00:20:29.160 is saying

00:20:29.740 they'll claim

00:20:30.820 well he didn't

00:20:31.300 witness any of this

00:20:32.040 but of course

00:20:32.600 if he said he witnessed it

00:20:33.480 the same people

00:20:33.960 would say

00:20:34.260 well I don't trust him

00:20:35.180 I don't believe

00:20:35.460 no matter what he said

00:20:36.720 it wouldn't make

00:20:37.040 a difference to them.

00:20:38.400 What you do have

00:20:39.040 flanking him though

00:20:39.900 on either side

00:20:40.340 are people who did

00:20:40.960 witness some things

00:20:42.340 and it's not like

00:20:43.480 those who are

00:20:44.340 skeptical of Grush

00:20:45.600 would say

00:20:45.840 he didn't witness it

00:20:46.460 it's not like

00:20:46.940 they are listening

00:20:47.440 to the other two

00:20:47.920 and saying

00:20:48.220 well I believe them

00:20:49.020 so again

00:20:49.560 if you're starting

00:20:51.200 from the position

00:20:52.120 that all of this

00:20:53.000 is somehow impossible

00:20:53.920 or you refuse

00:20:54.660 to believe it

00:20:55.260 then there is

00:20:56.120 nothing anyone

00:20:57.460 could ever say

00:20:58.660 and there is

00:20:59.880 no evidence

00:21:00.520 anyone could ever

00:21:01.520 present that you

00:21:02.380 would find compelling

00:21:03.160 and there are a lot

00:21:04.720 of people in that camp

00:21:05.960 and if you're in that camp

00:21:07.060 at least admit it

00:21:08.020 at least admit

00:21:08.820 that it's just

00:21:09.280 rather than saying

00:21:10.260 I don't try

00:21:10.900 the evidence

00:21:11.560 it's not enough evidence

00:21:12.460 no

00:21:12.720 there is no evidence

00:21:14.300 that you would find compelling

00:21:15.280 because in this case

00:21:16.560 we have

00:21:17.060 we have videos

00:21:18.380 eyewitness testimony

00:21:19.460 we have

00:21:20.100 we have

00:21:20.580 you know

00:21:22.540 and it's eyewitness testimony

00:21:24.680 from all kinds

00:21:25.380 of different people

00:21:26.120 right

00:21:26.960 actual expert

00:21:28.380 eyewitness testimony

00:21:29.120 but expert

00:21:29.580 I don't mean expert

00:21:30.300 in the sense

00:21:30.700 that we hear

00:21:31.080 trust the experts

00:21:31.740 but experts

00:21:32.300 as in

00:21:32.740 Navy pilots

00:21:33.860 who understand

00:21:34.800 how aircraft work

00:21:35.940 and they

00:21:36.560 it's their whole job

00:21:37.520 to go up

00:21:37.960 and identify

00:21:38.700 things that are happening

00:21:40.940 in the sky

00:21:41.500 and potential threats

00:21:42.260 and all that

00:21:42.680 so like actual experts

00:21:43.800 in that sense

00:21:44.260 we have those kinds

00:21:45.340 of witnesses

00:21:45.660 we have lots of

00:21:46.260 normal people

00:21:47.280 who've seen

00:21:47.760 so when you've got

00:21:49.200 video

00:21:49.580 when you've got

00:21:50.340 eyewitness testimony

00:21:51.900 that's

00:21:54.080 it's evidence

00:21:55.780 and there's a lot

00:21:56.620 of both of those things

00:21:57.760 finally

00:22:00.160 have there been

00:22:01.760 any non-human

00:22:03.040 technologies

00:22:03.840 or

00:22:04.380 you know

00:22:05.280 interactions

00:22:06.400 that have caused

00:22:07.560 harm to humans

00:22:08.380 that was a question

00:22:09.100 that was asked

00:22:09.640 and let's

00:22:10.680 let's hear

00:22:11.060 so there has been

00:22:13.360 activity by

00:22:14.420 by alien

00:22:15.880 or

00:22:16.640 non-human

00:22:18.340 technology

00:22:19.220 and or beings

00:22:20.500 that has caused

00:22:21.540 harm to

00:22:22.300 humans

00:22:23.620 I can't get

00:22:25.260 into the specifics

00:22:26.080 in an open

00:22:27.180 environment

00:22:27.640 but at least

00:22:28.400 the activity

00:22:29.340 that I

00:22:30.260 personally

00:22:31.520 witnessed

00:22:32.200 and I have to

00:22:33.300 be very careful

00:22:33.820 here

00:22:34.200 because you don't

00:22:35.180 you know

00:22:35.400 they tell you

00:22:35.660 never to acknowledge

00:22:36.300 tradecraft right

00:22:36.940 so what I

00:22:38.040 personally witnessed

00:22:38.760 myself and my

00:22:39.640 wife

00:22:39.960 was very disturbing

00:22:41.540 okay now

00:22:45.020 a few things here

00:22:46.100 first if you cannot

00:22:47.180 at least appreciate

00:22:48.120 the fact that

00:22:48.900 we're having this

00:22:49.620 congressional hearing

00:22:50.480 about non-human

00:22:51.360 technology in the sky

00:22:52.560 then I don't know

00:22:53.800 what to say

00:22:54.520 you know there

00:22:55.340 are a bunch of

00:22:55.680 people on social

00:22:56.160 media yesterday

00:22:56.760 that I saw

00:22:57.420 that were

00:22:57.700 they were saying

00:22:58.100 this is all

00:22:58.500 boring

00:22:58.960 it's boring

00:23:00.100 I'm so bored

00:23:00.980 my god

00:23:02.820 you dull

00:23:03.620 nitwits

00:23:04.480 really this subject

00:23:05.360 is boring

00:23:06.040 I've seen the

00:23:08.120 subjects that you

00:23:08.900 people find

00:23:09.440 interesting

00:23:09.980 okay I've seen

00:23:10.740 the kinds of

00:23:11.220 things that

00:23:12.060 you people

00:23:13.080 talk about

00:23:13.760 for days on

00:23:14.680 end

00:23:14.920 and this

00:23:16.000 is boring

00:23:16.760 to you

00:23:17.260 compared to

00:23:18.860 all the other

00:23:19.360 things that are

00:23:19.940 discussed on

00:23:20.460 social media

00:23:20.980 every day

00:23:21.620 this is what

00:23:22.320 you find

00:23:22.700 boring

00:23:23.060 you've got

00:23:24.600 these right-wing

00:23:25.160 pundits

00:23:25.640 I've seen

00:23:25.960 plenty of

00:23:26.300 them

00:23:26.400 go on for

00:23:26.940 days and

00:23:27.600 days about

00:23:28.080 the same

00:23:28.480 damn thing

00:23:28.960 repeating the

00:23:29.400 same talking

00:23:29.940 points over

00:23:30.420 and over

00:23:30.680 again

00:23:30.900 just an

00:23:31.560 insatiable

00:23:32.260 appetite for

00:23:32.960 the most

00:23:33.260 boring

00:23:33.880 mundane

00:23:35.000 dreary

00:23:36.540 useless

00:23:37.160 conversation

00:23:37.940 and yet a

00:23:38.580 congressional

00:23:39.020 hearing where

00:23:39.580 a witness

00:23:40.000 testifies to

00:23:40.680 the existence

00:23:41.080 of non-human

00:23:41.760 technology

00:23:42.340 is boring

00:23:44.020 even if you

00:23:45.660 think it's all

00:23:46.080 fake by the

00:23:46.640 way you could

00:23:46.960 if you think

00:23:47.720 it's all

00:23:48.020 fake

00:23:48.340 it's still

00:23:49.580 not boring

00:23:50.260 like it's

00:23:50.920 interesting

00:23:51.520 okay it's

00:23:52.680 either way

00:23:53.860 this is easily

00:23:54.560 the most

00:23:54.880 interesting thing

00:23:55.460 that's happened

00:23:55.800 in washington

00:23:56.200 dc maybe

00:23:57.000 since ever

00:23:57.960 so if what

00:24:00.240 they're testifying

00:24:00.840 to is true

00:24:01.760 that's fascinating

00:24:03.840 if this is all

00:24:05.140 some kind of

00:24:05.620 insane

00:24:06.280 elaborate

00:24:07.140 ruse

00:24:07.820 that's also

00:24:09.140 fascinating

00:24:09.760 and certainly

00:24:10.660 worth talking

00:24:11.220 about

00:24:11.520 so the

00:24:13.960 it's boring

00:24:14.640 stuff

00:24:15.020 it blows

00:24:15.600 my mind

00:24:16.400 i don't

00:24:16.940 i just

00:24:17.480 don't get

00:24:18.100 it

00:24:18.340 i really

00:24:19.660 don't

00:24:20.300 okay so

00:24:22.560 then

00:24:22.800 that raises

00:24:24.640 the question

00:24:24.980 of whether

00:24:25.420 or not

00:24:25.640 this is

00:24:25.980 all fake

00:24:26.440 like

00:24:26.740 and if

00:24:27.580 it is

00:24:27.940 then why

00:24:28.600 and don't

00:24:30.200 tell me

00:24:30.440 it's a

00:24:30.660 distraction

00:24:31.060 technique

00:24:31.600 don't tell

00:24:32.060 me that

00:24:32.340 i've already

00:24:32.640 addressed

00:24:32.960 that many

00:24:33.320 times

00:24:33.760 okay

00:24:34.200 uh

00:24:34.940 you know

00:24:35.300 what i'm

00:24:35.540 gonna say

00:24:36.020 the claim

00:24:37.280 that all

00:24:37.580 this is

00:24:37.920 one big

00:24:38.440 distraction

00:24:39.100 it's one

00:24:39.880 big

00:24:40.220 um

00:24:40.600 diversion

00:24:41.940 is simply

00:24:43.760 nonsensical

00:24:44.340 because first

00:24:44.880 of all

00:24:45.060 it it does

00:24:45.680 not distract

00:24:46.740 nobody

00:24:47.900 cares

00:24:48.760 they should

00:24:50.460 but they

00:24:51.140 don't

00:24:51.620 so it is

00:24:52.140 it is not

00:24:52.620 a it is

00:24:53.260 not a

00:24:53.520 successful

00:24:54.140 distraction

00:24:55.340 technique

00:24:55.960 why would

00:24:58.420 they keep

00:24:58.700 doing it

00:24:59.140 to distract

00:25:00.040 when it

00:25:00.380 is actually

00:25:00.820 not distracting

00:25:01.360 anybody

00:25:01.740 okay this

00:25:02.320 ufo hearing

00:25:02.920 happened

00:25:03.320 it was

00:25:04.020 trending

00:25:04.460 sort of

00:25:05.320 for a few

00:25:05.740 hours on

00:25:06.220 twitter

00:25:06.420 and then it

00:25:06.880 went away

00:25:07.140 and no one

00:25:07.400 talked about

00:25:07.760 it anymore

00:25:08.120 so and

00:25:11.040 you're saying

00:25:11.360 this is

00:25:11.620 they're doing

00:25:12.180 all of this

00:25:13.040 this is one

00:25:13.620 giant conspiracy

00:25:14.960 to distract

00:25:16.540 us

00:25:17.000 and what

00:25:18.520 the people

00:25:18.900 that are doing

00:25:19.300 they don't

00:25:19.860 notice that

00:25:20.420 it's not

00:25:20.700 working and

00:25:21.140 they keep

00:25:21.380 doing it

00:25:21.840 second as

00:25:24.060 i've said

00:25:24.320 many times

00:25:24.880 they don't

00:25:25.380 need to

00:25:26.020 make up

00:25:26.360 aliens to

00:25:27.000 distract us

00:25:27.620 we are

00:25:27.880 already

00:25:28.240 distracted

00:25:28.740 we already

00:25:29.340 ignore most

00:25:30.240 of the most

00:25:30.580 important things

00:25:31.120 happening in the

00:25:31.580 world

00:25:31.780 we already

00:25:32.540 move on

00:25:33.100 from things

00:25:33.600 at the speed

00:25:34.080 of light

00:25:34.560 we have the

00:25:35.740 attention spans

00:25:36.660 of plankton

00:25:37.500 already

00:25:38.060 and third

00:25:40.300 if the government

00:25:41.160 would use

00:25:41.720 aliens to

00:25:42.300 distract us

00:25:42.880 why did

00:25:44.080 they deny

00:25:44.780 all of this

00:25:46.060 for decades

00:25:46.900 there was

00:25:48.400 plenty of

00:25:48.800 that they

00:25:49.240 would have

00:25:49.480 wanted to

00:25:49.840 distract us

00:25:50.280 from in

00:25:50.580 the 50s

00:25:51.140 and 60s

00:25:51.760 and 70s

00:25:52.280 and 80s

00:25:52.640 and 90s

00:25:53.220 and 2000s

00:25:53.980 and 2010s

00:25:54.840 and yet

00:25:55.120 they denied

00:25:55.620 and denied

00:25:56.040 denied

00:25:56.440 denied

00:25:56.800 and then

00:25:58.940 just out

00:25:59.400 of nowhere

00:25:59.880 they decided

00:26:00.480 to start

00:26:00.980 distracting us

00:26:02.400 with this

00:26:02.920 even though

00:26:04.500 it's not

00:26:04.840 distracting

00:26:05.340 but it

00:26:07.040 should

00:26:07.300 that brings

00:26:09.520 me to my

00:26:09.820 next point

00:26:10.200 which is

00:26:10.500 that if

00:26:10.880 your skepticism

00:26:11.760 of government

00:26:12.440 is informing

00:26:13.140 your view

00:26:13.740 on this

00:26:14.280 stuff

00:26:14.680 which i

00:26:15.120 understand

00:26:15.580 then that

00:26:17.680 should cause

00:26:18.140 you to take

00:26:18.520 the ufo

00:26:18.880 subject more

00:26:19.600 seriously

00:26:20.060 not less

00:26:20.700 the government

00:26:21.120 has officially

00:26:21.800 denied all

00:26:22.800 of this

00:26:23.240 forever

00:26:24.020 and they

00:26:25.300 still do

00:26:25.820 these are

00:26:26.200 whistleblowers

00:26:26.980 who are

00:26:27.260 coming out

00:26:27.800 okay

00:26:28.120 these are

00:26:29.720 and it's

00:26:30.380 only a few

00:26:30.860 of them

00:26:31.180 the predominant

00:26:33.320 government

00:26:33.780 narrative

00:26:34.400 since forever

00:26:35.640 and still

00:26:37.380 now

00:26:37.800 is that

00:26:38.260 there are

00:26:38.680 no ufos

00:26:39.500 we don't

00:26:40.040 need to

00:26:40.300 think about

00:26:40.720 it

00:26:40.900 nothing to

00:26:41.460 see here

00:26:41.920 this is

00:26:42.780 what the

00:26:42.960 government

00:26:43.200 has always

00:26:43.980 said

00:26:44.420 about all

00:26:45.040 of this

00:26:45.500 and this

00:26:47.320 is still

00:26:47.820 basically

00:26:48.320 their

00:26:48.700 response

00:26:50.100 they've

00:26:50.840 obliquely

00:26:52.240 acknowledged

00:26:52.860 a little

00:26:53.240 bit of

00:26:53.480 this now

00:26:53.760 only because

00:26:54.220 they're

00:26:54.420 forced

00:26:54.860 to

00:26:55.200 and we've

00:26:57.500 seen

00:26:57.920 you know

00:26:58.340 recent

00:26:59.360 history

00:26:59.860 has

00:27:00.220 shown us

00:27:01.060 many

00:27:01.820 examples

00:27:02.480 of things

00:27:03.140 that were

00:27:03.620 dismissed

00:27:05.120 as conspiracy

00:27:05.920 theories

00:27:07.060 and crazy

00:27:07.820 and not

00:27:08.160 even worth

00:27:08.520 thinking

00:27:08.840 about

00:27:09.240 and then

00:27:12.160 they turn

00:27:12.440 out to be

00:27:12.820 true

00:27:13.140 and then

00:27:14.720 the same

00:27:15.040 government

00:27:15.300 officials

00:27:15.600 who denied

00:27:16.080 all of it

00:27:16.520 will turn

00:27:16.820 around

00:27:17.180 and say

00:27:17.540 oh you

00:27:17.980 know

00:27:18.120 maybe

00:27:18.360 there's

00:27:18.600 some

00:27:18.700 truth

00:27:18.920 to that

00:27:19.180 I don't

00:27:19.460 know

00:27:19.720 it's not

00:27:21.340 because the

00:27:21.620 government

00:27:21.800 decided to

00:27:22.400 start being

00:27:22.760 honest

00:27:23.020 because their

00:27:23.540 their hand

00:27:24.160 was forced

00:27:24.760 because the

00:27:25.840 truth came

00:27:26.340 out and they

00:27:26.820 had no

00:27:27.120 choice but to

00:27:27.980 they couldn't

00:27:28.520 keep just

00:27:29.020 flat out

00:27:29.720 denying it

00:27:30.300 so you

00:27:32.280 could say

00:27:32.620 well this

00:27:33.080 is a big

00:27:33.380 big distraction

00:27:34.380 not distracting

00:27:35.680 us at all

00:27:36.060 but that's

00:27:36.420 what it is

00:27:37.320 so that could

00:27:37.840 be your

00:27:38.160 theory

00:27:38.480 another theory

00:27:39.400 is that

00:27:40.040 you know

00:27:41.160 a theory to

00:27:41.580 explain why

00:27:42.340 did they deny

00:27:42.900 deny deny

00:27:43.380 and now

00:27:44.160 you know

00:27:44.800 we're getting

00:27:45.400 hearings about

00:27:45.880 it

00:27:46.060 another

00:27:47.200 explanation

00:27:47.640 is that

00:27:48.520 they denied

00:27:48.980 and denied

00:27:49.420 and denied

00:27:49.840 forever

00:27:50.220 because they

00:27:50.760 could

00:27:51.120 because we

00:27:52.320 didn't have

00:27:52.720 the internet

00:27:53.100 and there

00:27:54.060 was really

00:27:54.400 no way

00:27:54.820 if somebody

00:27:55.180 saw something

00:27:55.940 there was

00:27:57.120 no way

00:27:57.640 to prove

00:27:59.040 it

00:27:59.300 you know

00:27:59.920 it was also

00:28:00.440 for many

00:28:01.920 decades

00:28:02.440 while this

00:28:02.960 was going

00:28:03.280 on

00:28:03.620 people weren't

00:28:04.420 carrying cell

00:28:05.140 phones around

00:28:05.540 in their pockets

00:28:06.080 and that sort

00:28:06.480 of thing

00:28:06.700 but now

00:28:09.900 with modern

00:28:10.640 technology

00:28:11.120 and modern

00:28:11.480 communication

00:28:12.020 we can start

00:28:13.500 seeing things

00:28:14.480 and spreading

00:28:15.100 information in a

00:28:15.800 way that we

00:28:16.100 couldn't before

00:28:16.680 and so now

00:28:17.740 they have no

00:28:18.340 choice but to

00:28:19.140 like at least

00:28:19.680 pretend to

00:28:20.320 acknowledge some

00:28:20.900 of this

00:28:21.040 I mean that's

00:28:21.380 another way of

00:28:21.880 explaining

00:28:22.320 the contrast

00:28:24.880 and how these

00:28:25.380 issues have been

00:28:26.000 handled

00:28:26.340 now versus

00:28:27.800 then

00:28:28.180 so

00:28:30.220 what does all

00:28:31.700 this mean

00:28:32.160 it means first

00:28:33.720 of all this

00:28:34.280 is interesting

00:28:34.980 and if you

00:28:35.980 don't find it

00:28:36.700 interesting you

00:28:37.360 should

00:28:37.740 you're just

00:28:38.260 wrong

00:28:38.660 you're wrong

00:28:39.240 to not find

00:28:39.720 it interesting

00:28:40.160 it's like

00:28:40.420 objectively wrong

00:28:41.340 and

00:28:42.960 what is it

00:28:44.580 what does it

00:28:44.960 what does it

00:28:45.380 actually mean

00:28:46.200 like what

00:28:46.620 what are the

00:28:47.000 origins of

00:28:47.520 these

00:28:47.740 these things

00:28:48.680 that are

00:28:49.960 in the sky

00:28:50.460 I don't know

00:28:51.040 exactly

00:28:51.300 but

00:28:51.900 there is

00:28:53.220 enough evidence

00:28:54.020 at a minimum

00:28:54.640 to say that

00:28:55.220 like something

00:28:55.860 is going on

00:28:56.620 okay

00:28:56.860 these

00:28:58.680 crafts

00:28:59.900 that are in

00:29:00.260 the sky

00:29:00.540 that can do

00:29:01.120 things that

00:29:01.640 to us

00:29:02.080 seem impossible

00:29:02.860 that defy

00:29:03.460 the laws

00:29:03.760 of physics

00:29:04.220 like traveling

00:29:06.080 at many

00:29:06.500 hundreds of

00:29:06.900 miles of

00:29:07.280 an hour

00:29:07.580 and then

00:29:08.480 stopping on

00:29:09.300 a dime

00:29:09.680 in the middle

00:29:10.140 of the air

00:29:10.760 and changing

00:29:11.420 direction

00:29:11.800 that sort

00:29:12.080 of thing

00:29:12.340 that is

00:29:15.180 happening

00:29:15.500 there are

00:29:15.980 things in

00:29:16.680 the sky

00:29:16.920 that are

00:29:17.160 doing all

00:29:17.600 of that

00:29:17.920 and what

00:29:21.060 that means

00:29:21.680 is that

00:29:22.020 someone possesses

00:29:23.040 that technology

00:29:23.800 and if you

00:29:24.340 don't even

00:29:24.640 want to consider

00:29:25.420 the possibility

00:29:26.180 that it could

00:29:26.740 be otherworldly

00:29:27.500 then you're

00:29:28.000 left with

00:29:28.520 there are

00:29:29.480 governments

00:29:29.920 on earth

00:29:30.480 that have

00:29:31.600 technology

00:29:32.140 that defies

00:29:32.900 the laws

00:29:33.340 of physics

00:29:33.880 as we

00:29:34.260 understand it

00:29:35.000 and are

00:29:36.140 and are

00:29:36.580 eons ahead

00:29:37.640 of us

00:29:37.980 in their

00:29:38.240 technological

00:29:38.760 capabilities

00:29:39.860 which is

00:29:41.140 also interesting

00:29:41.820 if that's

00:29:42.220 the case

00:29:42.660 it's not

00:29:43.360 boring

00:29:43.720 certainly

00:29:44.440 not

00:29:44.780 and

00:29:46.220 and

00:29:46.440 something

00:29:46.640 we should

00:29:46.920 think

00:29:47.220 about

00:29:47.420 all right

00:29:49.360 axios has

00:29:50.160 this senate

00:29:50.600 minority leader

00:29:51.240 mitch mcconnell

00:29:51.960 appeared suddenly

00:29:52.720 unable to speak

00:29:53.900 during a press

00:29:54.520 conference on

00:29:55.040 wednesday and

00:29:55.520 was briefly

00:29:55.960 led away by

00:29:56.640 concerned gop

00:29:57.480 colleagues after

00:29:58.220 he was unable

00:29:58.600 to complete

00:29:59.040 his opening

00:29:59.440 remarks

00:30:00.020 remarks

00:30:00.940 we have

00:30:03.260 this moment

00:30:04.880 here so he

00:30:05.520 got up and

00:30:06.120 he started to

00:30:06.800 speak

00:30:07.200 about

00:30:08.460 whatever

00:30:08.920 it doesn't

00:30:09.160 matter

00:30:09.420 and then

00:30:10.840 this

00:30:11.080 let's play

00:30:11.420 the clip

00:30:11.880 of arts

00:30:13.360 and cooperation

00:30:14.220 and a

00:30:16.240 string of

00:30:16.920 anything else you

00:30:28.880 want to say

00:30:43.200 mitch mcconnell is

00:30:59.120 i think he's 80

00:30:59.640 years old or

00:31:00.280 81 years old

00:31:01.060 not even that

00:31:03.160 old by our

00:31:03.940 political standards

00:31:04.680 today

00:31:05.020 you know he's

00:31:06.420 uh he's like a

00:31:07.400 teenager by our

00:31:08.220 political standards

00:31:09.440 um

00:31:11.540 i this is so

00:31:13.660 embarrassing i i am

00:31:14.680 so tired of this

00:31:15.660 okay i really am

00:31:16.780 we are being led

00:31:17.780 by ancient

00:31:18.740 crumbling

00:31:19.400 senile

00:31:20.240 dinosaurs

00:31:21.060 and can we

00:31:23.100 stop this

00:31:23.960 already

00:31:24.340 it is

00:31:26.180 humiliating

00:31:27.260 uh and

00:31:29.460 terrifying

00:31:30.060 terrifying

00:31:31.120 to think

00:31:31.960 that the people

00:31:33.100 in charge of the

00:31:33.680 country are not

00:31:34.700 they can't even

00:31:36.940 speak

00:31:37.520 this this

00:31:40.940 generation

00:31:41.620 okay mcconnell

00:31:43.040 generation

00:31:43.760 you need to

00:31:45.480 step down

00:31:46.140 you had your

00:31:46.940 time

00:31:47.360 you're done

00:31:48.420 it's over

00:31:50.280 you're human

00:31:51.560 beings you're not

00:31:52.360 going to live

00:31:52.660 forever

00:31:53.060 uh and

00:31:55.720 you're too

00:31:56.180 old now

00:31:56.860 retire

00:31:58.200 and and

00:32:00.420 move on this

00:32:01.020 is the way of

00:32:01.520 the world

00:32:01.760 it's like

00:32:02.080 these people

00:32:02.960 have been in

00:32:03.700 power for

00:32:04.440 decades and

00:32:05.320 they won't

00:32:05.920 let go

00:32:06.500 they can't

00:32:07.420 i don't even

00:32:09.040 understand the

00:32:09.820 mentality well i do

00:32:10.700 understand i say that

00:32:11.340 rhetorically but the

00:32:12.460 mentality

00:32:12.940 of someone who's

00:32:15.340 80 years old

00:32:16.540 and you've been in

00:32:17.980 political office for

00:32:18.840 50 years

00:32:19.900 right and you got

00:32:21.360 plenty of money

00:32:22.560 because you've been

00:32:23.140 profiting off of your

00:32:24.180 political uh

00:32:25.100 position that entire

00:32:26.180 time

00:32:26.480 you just go go

00:32:29.640 relax

00:32:30.520 go back to your

00:32:32.220 nice you got a

00:32:32.880 bunch of homes go

00:32:33.600 back to one of

00:32:34.200 them and sit on a

00:32:35.080 porch in a rocking

00:32:35.700 chair and relax

00:32:36.640 why would you not

00:32:37.560 want to do that

00:32:38.480 you really want to

00:32:40.540 be doing this until

00:32:41.420 you keel over and

00:32:42.380 die holding press

00:32:44.120 conferences and

00:32:45.080 but yeah they do

00:32:47.400 because they can't

00:32:48.100 these people can't

00:32:48.760 even imagine they

00:32:49.520 can't imagine a

00:32:50.180 life their whole

00:32:51.160 lives have been the

00:32:52.080 pursuit of power

00:32:52.820 having power

00:32:53.720 everything in dc

00:32:55.480 defines who they

00:32:56.460 are they're not

00:32:57.000 even like they're

00:32:57.960 barely people anymore

00:32:59.140 uh because a

00:33:00.960 person a human

00:33:02.220 would have the

00:33:03.760 desire at a certain

00:33:04.800 point to rest and

00:33:05.900 relax and you know

00:33:07.740 be with your

00:33:08.220 grandkids and that

00:33:09.380 sort of thing

00:33:09.980 um take up a hobby

00:33:11.820 i don't know you've

00:33:12.460 got a few years left

00:33:13.520 use it on something

00:33:15.340 else

00:33:15.760 that's what a

00:33:17.800 normal human wants

00:33:18.800 to do but these

00:33:19.300 are not normal

00:33:19.800 people

00:33:20.160 there's nothing left

00:33:22.140 inside them because

00:33:23.240 because they've

00:33:24.240 been in this

00:33:24.580 environment for so

00:33:25.320 long and they

00:33:26.900 can't let go but

00:33:29.120 they have to let

00:33:30.300 people who are at

00:33:31.000 least physically

00:33:31.660 capable take over

00:33:32.700 and i know you

00:33:33.100 could say well the

00:33:33.700 younger generation

00:33:34.360 we can't let them

00:33:35.300 take over look how

00:33:36.700 terrible they are

00:33:37.300 well number one

00:33:38.060 they're going to

00:33:38.860 take over eventually

00:33:39.640 because again you're

00:33:40.600 not going to live

00:33:41.000 forever like you're

00:33:42.180 dying off right now

00:33:43.360 so you can't stop

00:33:46.380 it and second like

00:33:49.200 also this same

00:33:51.700 generation in terms

00:33:52.560 of their uh their

00:33:54.440 performance as

00:33:55.260 political leaders has

00:33:56.220 been terrible

00:33:56.960 it would hard it

00:33:58.520 would be it would be

00:33:59.320 hard to do a worse

00:34:00.140 job so it's not even

00:34:02.900 like we can look at

00:34:03.440 these people and say

00:34:04.240 well i mean they've

00:34:05.640 been phenomenal leaders

00:34:06.900 this entire time and

00:34:08.180 uh so if you know

00:34:09.340 let's keep them around

00:34:09.980 for as long as we can

00:34:10.680 because they've been

00:34:11.080 so great no you have

00:34:13.340 overseen the bankrupt

00:34:15.300 you've bankrupted the

00:34:16.760 country you've weakened

00:34:18.580 america in almost

00:34:19.380 every sense you've

00:34:20.760 ever seen the

00:34:21.400 political and

00:34:22.920 cultural decay of

00:34:24.580 the country you've

00:34:25.440 ruined everything

00:34:26.420 everything is worse

00:34:28.220 now because of you

00:34:29.580 people that's the

00:34:31.420 reality sorry to say

00:34:32.740 so just leave i mean

00:34:37.460 there honestly there

00:34:38.700 is no good reason why

00:34:40.940 anyone over the age of

00:34:42.080 75 should be in a

00:34:44.340 position of political

00:34:45.060 power in this country

00:34:45.900 there's no reason for

00:34:47.460 it um we gotta we

00:34:51.200 have to we have to

00:34:52.280 restore some sanity on

00:34:53.360 this issue and i've

00:34:54.200 been saying this for so

00:34:54.900 long you know there

00:34:57.380 there needs to be age

00:34:58.420 limits on all of these

00:34:59.660 offices really there are

00:35:02.260 already age limits for

00:35:04.100 most political offices

00:35:05.120 especially on the

00:35:05.700 federal level but the

00:35:06.880 the age limits we have

00:35:07.740 now are on the younger

00:35:08.720 end so it's a minimum

00:35:10.520 there's a minimum age

00:35:11.860 limit so we do recognize

00:35:13.000 so at least on the

00:35:13.880 minimum end we recognize

00:35:15.040 that age exists that

00:35:17.000 it's not just a number

00:35:17.880 like it exists it's a

00:35:19.000 real thing it means

00:35:20.220 something and um we

00:35:22.360 recognize that on the

00:35:23.260 the lower end so we

00:35:24.620 say well you know it's

00:35:26.280 we can't have like a

00:35:27.540 17 year old become a

00:35:29.000 senator um we recognize

00:35:32.120 that there that there

00:35:34.560 should be a minimum

00:35:35.320 that it is possible to

00:35:36.940 be too young for

00:35:39.100 political office but yet

00:35:40.840 we don't recognize it on

00:35:41.800 the on the on the uh

00:35:43.040 on the maximum end we

00:35:44.060 don't recognize it on the

00:35:44.880 other end so it's

00:35:45.760 possible to be too young

00:35:46.800 for political office but

00:35:47.520 it's impossible to be too

00:35:48.760 old well we know it's

00:35:51.180 not impossible to be too

00:35:51.980 old we're looking we

00:35:52.940 have a president right

00:35:53.600 now who's clearly too

00:35:54.640 old and everyone knows

00:35:56.740 it what else we got

00:35:58.840 here this is from the

00:36:00.020 guardian and it reports

00:36:02.560 about the rise of

00:36:04.520 political violence in

00:36:05.600 the united states the

00:36:06.680 june federal indictment

00:36:07.580 of donald trump is

00:36:08.300 radicalizing support for

00:36:09.660 the use of force on

00:36:10.460 behalf of the former

00:36:11.080 president and current

00:36:11.940 presidential candidate

00:36:12.700 according to the author of

00:36:13.780 a recent survey about

00:36:14.640 threats to democracy

00:36:15.540 meanwhile on the other

00:36:17.260 side of the aisle support

00:36:18.480 for violence to restore

00:36:19.460 the federal right to an

00:36:20.240 abortion has also

00:36:21.060 increased over the last

00:36:21.880 few months researchers

00:36:23.000 found although there's

00:36:24.140 little indication that

00:36:24.960 any organized group

00:36:26.160 supports acting on this

00:36:27.800 belief okay well there

00:36:29.860 are literally organized

00:36:30.780 groups currently acting

00:36:32.620 on that belief so they

00:36:33.500 are telling us that yeah

00:36:34.900 people on uh on the left

00:36:36.740 many of them support using

00:36:38.220 violence to restore a

00:36:40.480 right to an abortion but

00:36:41.620 there's no organized

00:36:42.340 effort to actually do it

00:36:43.220 what are you talking

00:36:43.960 about there are actual

00:36:45.500 jane's revenge like there

00:36:47.100 are actual groups who are

00:36:48.220 currently using violence

00:36:49.560 and admitting it all of

00:36:52.700 these pro-life pregnancy

00:36:54.000 centers have not burst into

00:36:55.200 flames on their own despite

00:36:57.100 what the media may want you

00:36:58.000 to believe there's an

00:36:59.440 organized concerted effort

00:37:00.600 to use violence and

00:37:01.820 terrorism by pro-abortion

00:37:03.480 people uh in order to

00:37:05.540 restore their right to kill

00:37:06.960 babies that is an actual

00:37:07.740 thing that's happening so of

00:37:09.140 course this this article

00:37:09.960 doesn't acknowledge that

00:37:11.220 and this article also

00:37:12.400 attempts to pin all of

00:37:14.020 this on uh on

00:37:16.020 conservatives which is

00:37:16.800 what we expect but that's

00:37:17.620 not really my point i'll

00:37:18.480 read a little bit more we

00:37:19.700 know all this is biased and

00:37:21.140 all that but that's not

00:37:21.720 the point um the dangers

00:37:24.660 to democracy report

00:37:25.600 indicates that a growing

00:37:26.520 number of americans

00:37:27.260 support the use of

00:37:28.200 political violence as the

00:37:29.280 2024 presidential campaign

00:37:30.540 heats up and further

00:37:31.860 indictments of trump are

00:37:32.620 probably imminent the

00:37:34.080 indictment is radicalizing

00:37:35.040 support for trump but

00:37:36.040 that's not the only source

00:37:36.980 of radicalization said

00:37:38.020 roger robert pape a

00:37:40.780 university chicago

00:37:41.760 professor who led the

00:37:42.520 research you're seeing

00:37:43.640 growing anger and

00:37:44.500 radicalization on the left

00:37:45.480 as well the number of

00:37:46.880 americans who believe that

00:37:47.920 the use of force is

00:37:48.920 justified to restore trump

00:37:50.320 to the white house

00:37:50.920 increased by roughly six

00:37:52.060 million in the last few

00:37:52.960 months to an estimated

00:37:53.660 18 million people of

00:37:55.540 those 18 million 68%

00:37:56.820 believe that the 2020

00:37:57.860 election was stolen from

00:37:58.900 trump 62% believe the

00:38:00.600 prosecutions of trump are

00:38:01.640 intended to hurt his

00:38:02.400 chances in 2024 so that

00:38:04.540 62% those are just like

00:38:05.760 the people who are correct

00:38:07.440 those are just the those

00:38:08.760 are the people with a

00:38:10.700 couple of brain cells in

00:38:11.400 their heads like that's

00:38:12.020 obviously what's

00:38:12.560 happening an estimated

00:38:14.800 seven percent of americans

00:38:15.720 now believe violence could

00:38:16.720 be necessary to restore

00:38:17.660 trump to the presidency up

00:38:18.900 from 4.5 million or 12

00:38:20.340 million people so on and

00:38:21.360 so forth so they're trying

00:38:22.300 to pin all this on the

00:38:23.100 right obviously even

00:38:25.140 though nearly all of the

00:38:26.240 political violence in

00:38:27.740 this country happens on the

00:38:29.160 left antifa blm trans

00:38:31.820 activists nearly all of it

00:38:33.900 is on the left they want us

00:38:35.280 to ignore that they want

00:38:36.240 us to ignore um the fact

00:38:38.720 that uh you know there

00:38:39.860 was an organized movement

00:38:41.120 to torch our cities across

00:38:44.060 the country this is only a

00:38:45.200 couple of years ago and it

00:38:46.140 was blm doing that not not

00:38:48.020 uh not right-wing

00:38:49.040 republicans um but putting

00:38:53.580 all that aside when we hear

00:38:55.820 about well there are

00:38:57.780 americans who support

00:38:58.680 political violence and we're

00:39:00.300 supposed to be horrified by

00:39:01.920 that it's a sign you know

00:39:04.160 sign as a danger a danger

00:39:05.840 to democracy is how they

00:39:06.980 phrase it so this is part of

00:39:08.460 the danger to democracy

00:39:09.520 report well what you're

00:39:12.300 actually seeing is just the

00:39:14.440 way the world has always

00:39:15.800 worked and we have tried to

00:39:19.120 hide ourselves from it and

00:39:20.580 pretend that we're exempt

00:39:21.600 somehow for so many years

00:39:23.880 but we're not this is just

00:39:25.000 the way the world works

00:39:25.900 political violence both actual

00:39:29.440 political violence and the

00:39:31.020 the support for theoretical

00:39:32.300 political violence has been

00:39:34.360 that's that's been part of

00:39:36.500 human society ever since

00:39:37.580 there's been any kind of

00:39:38.740 political system anywhere

00:39:39.700 and that's especially true in

00:39:43.580 this country and this is always

00:39:44.760 why it's it's incredibly ironic

00:39:46.980 when people lament um the idea

00:39:52.140 of political violence across the

00:39:54.800 board you know in principle our

00:39:57.580 country was born in political

00:39:59.540 violence that's how our country

00:40:02.760 exists okay this country was

00:40:05.740 born in an act of violent

00:40:07.400 rebellion uh and yet happened a

00:40:11.020 long time ago but it happened and

00:40:14.240 that's the only reason why the

00:40:15.880 united states currently exists in

00:40:19.620 whatever form it exists so you know

00:40:22.840 what that tells us is that not only is

00:40:25.040 political violence just the way of

00:40:26.560 the world but it's it's the way it's

00:40:28.820 the way that america became a

00:40:31.360 country to begin with so the

00:40:34.360 problem is not violence itself you

00:40:36.760 know whether we're talking about

00:40:37.260 political violence or any other kind

00:40:38.200 of violence um the problem is

00:40:42.040 never just violence uh in fact i

00:40:45.380 there was a national review of

00:40:47.260 course article and i'm trying to

00:40:49.360 remember the exact headline i don't

00:40:50.620 have it in front of me but it was a

00:40:52.020 national review article about jason

00:40:54.140 jason aldean and uh it was scolding

00:40:56.820 him for his uh his song which

00:41:00.680 supposedly uh encourages violence but

00:41:04.420 the headline was something like um

00:41:07.180 well jason aldean we need we need

00:41:09.540 virtue not violence in america that

00:41:12.200 was it was words to that effect was

00:41:14.520 the headline as if those are two

00:41:17.160 separate things right as if we have to

00:41:18.600 choose between the two

00:41:19.540 well no jason aldean we don't we

00:41:22.480 don't we don't want to encourage

00:41:23.140 violence we want to encourage

00:41:23.920 virtue well i agree that we want to

00:41:25.820 encourage virtue but there is such a

00:41:28.160 thing as virtuous violence those two

00:41:31.840 things are not those are those are not

00:41:33.820 mutually exclusive ideas

00:41:35.680 and the jason aldean song if it promotes

00:41:40.040 violence

00:41:40.700 in any way at all it is promoting

00:41:43.840 virtuous violence it is specifically

00:41:45.680 talking about people defending the

00:41:48.460 innocent

00:41:48.840 like hey don't come here and try to

00:41:51.320 beat up an old lady you're not gonna

00:41:52.500 like what happens to you

00:41:53.340 what he's saying is if you beat up an

00:41:56.140 old lady we are going to defend that

00:41:57.740 old lady

00:41:58.340 by turning the violence back around on

00:42:00.640 you

00:42:00.900 violence in defense of the innocent is

00:42:04.200 virtuous it is good

00:42:05.620 violence um in in self-defense is

00:42:08.580 virtuous it is good

00:42:09.680 so lamenting violence has never made

00:42:14.040 any sense the idea that all forms of

00:42:16.540 violence just the very fact that you

00:42:19.380 are physically exerting yourself

00:42:21.480 against another person and causing

00:42:24.240 harm to them the idea that that is

00:42:26.240 always wrong no matter what is

00:42:29.040 absurd and it always has been and i

00:42:33.340 think that's part of what's going on

00:42:34.600 people are starting to see that you

00:42:36.640 know living in our kind of our nice

00:42:38.300 modern western bubble for so long we've

00:42:40.520 these are the stories that we've told

00:42:41.960 ourselves like raising your kids as a

00:42:44.260 lot of parents did you know even

00:42:46.980 especially in the 90s and it's a zero

00:42:49.960 tolerance for fighting parents raising

00:42:53.680 their kids and say well you never get

00:42:54.920 in a fight you know if anyone punches

00:42:56.740 you you just run around run run run

00:42:58.900 away and tell the teacher be the

00:43:00.380 bigger man be the bigger man by running

00:43:02.340 away

00:43:02.720 which of course that's not the bigger

00:43:05.680 man that's being a coward it's the

00:43:07.120 opposite of being bigger being being big

00:43:09.260 is to stand up and defend yourself even

00:43:10.760 if you're afraid that you might get

00:43:11.800 hurt in the process takes courage to do

00:43:13.960 it

00:43:14.140 but this is how a lot of americans were

00:43:17.300 raised and with this idea that well

00:43:19.380 you know violence is always bad it's

00:43:21.160 never okay and it's possible to live in

00:43:23.900 a place where there's no violence at

00:43:25.140 all this is all always a utopian absurd

00:43:26.900 naive idea

00:43:27.740 people are starting to see that and so

00:43:30.240 we need to start talking about is

00:43:31.760 rather than like get so we're getting

00:43:33.420 away now we're starting to understand

00:43:34.640 reality that violence is the way of the

00:43:36.140 world it always has been

00:43:37.060 so now we need to start talking about

00:43:39.680 what what are the correct and virtuous

00:43:43.020 context for violence when is it it is

00:43:45.900 justified to use violence in plenty of

00:43:48.640 context but what are those contexts that's

00:43:50.540 the conversation that we should be having

00:43:51.980 let's get to the comment section

00:43:54.180 grand canyon university is an affordable

00:44:05.940 private christian university located in

00:44:08.060 beautiful phoenix arizona praise for

00:44:15.560 education welcoming christian worldview

00:44:17.420 perspectives into over 320 academic

00:44:20.020 programs with more than 260 of those

00:44:21.900 programs online grand canyon university's

00:44:24.340 online programs are designed to make

00:44:25.800 earning your degree easy and

00:44:27.700 accessible no matter your age or stage

00:44:29.340 in life so why wait if you're ready to

00:44:31.040 take your education to the next level

00:44:32.300 find your purpose at grand canyon

00:44:34.000 university visit gcu.edu that's gcu.edu

00:44:38.180 tuscadonna says instead of teaching

00:44:41.220 woke nonsense in schools it would behoove

00:44:43.120 america to teach manners etiquette and

00:44:45.740 law totally agree and that's you know we

00:44:48.860 often say that all we want from the

00:44:50.540 schools is just teaching the abcs and

00:44:52.500 one two threes and i've said that

00:44:54.300 myself you know if you're going to

00:44:55.620 send we have to have public school

00:44:57.040 system if you're going to send your

00:44:57.880 public school kids to public school

00:44:59.100 that's that's all they should be doing

00:45:00.480 but that's really only because the

00:45:04.480 schools can't be trusted with anything

00:45:06.340 else and as we've seen they can't be

00:45:08.340 they can't even be trusted with the

00:45:09.780 abcs and one two threes but they

00:45:11.880 certainly can't be trusted beyond that

00:45:13.220 but ideally in an education system the

00:45:17.060 education would go beyond the abcs and

00:45:19.200 one two threes it would go beyond just

00:45:20.760 the simple kind of basic academic

00:45:22.460 subjects and you would get into

00:45:23.880 teaching kids how to be good people

00:45:28.340 how to be productive members of

00:45:29.820 society ideally that should be part of

00:45:32.880 education one of the advantages of

00:45:34.820 homeschooling is that it is it is part

00:45:38.320 of it you can fold that into their

00:45:40.140 education and teaching things like

00:45:43.320 manners and etiquette they used to teach

00:45:47.080 those things in school the fact that

00:45:49.780 they don't anymore is is becoming you

00:45:51.260 know that's quite evident Nathan says

00:45:54.740 the mind-boggling thing is that people

00:45:56.040 like her we're talking about the sassy

00:45:57.940 trucker now who got arrested in Dubai

00:45:59.700 for being sassy people like her who take

00:46:01.880 our American privileges for granted are

00:46:03.440 usually the same ones complaining about

00:46:04.900 our wonderful country what would it

00:46:07.220 take to get all those people to just

00:46:08.480 move out of the USA I'm sure everyone

00:46:09.940 including them would be happier well it's

00:46:11.880 not mind-boggling at all is it Nathan the

00:46:14.080 the people who take American privileges

00:46:16.660 for granted are the ones complaining

00:46:18.060 you know complaining about the country

00:46:20.460 that that is not mind-boggling that's

00:46:22.800 not even ironic that's of course they

00:46:24.140 take it for granted and so they

00:46:25.360 complain their complaints are grounded

00:46:28.100 in the fact that they're taking all of

00:46:29.860 the privileges in their lives for

00:46:31.780 granted and taking it for granted means

00:46:35.020 that they just assumes like well yeah of

00:46:36.380 course I get that it doesn't mean

00:46:38.040 anything of course I should have that

00:46:41.620 of course of course I have all these

00:46:42.940 things I want more

00:46:44.260 let's see Wesley says perhaps BLM could

00:46:52.220 go to Dubai to protest I would like to

00:46:55.180 see that that'd be an interesting you

00:46:58.260 know yeah as we often pointed out during

00:47:00.920 the BLM riots a few years ago if they

00:47:06.200 were to go there are other places in the

00:47:07.920 world that certainly don't have the same

00:47:11.000 ideas of equality as we do here but

00:47:13.480 you're not going to see them going to

00:47:14.320 those places protest of course

00:47:15.420 Yoda says rude behavior in public

00:47:19.200 yelling or swearing at other people is

00:47:21.340 punishable by law in Dubai and we like it

00:47:23.640 that way keeps sassy entitled pricks in

00:47:26.320 check and I know that as an American

00:47:29.580 right I'm supposed to go oh those laws in

00:47:32.700 the Middle East places like Dubai they're

00:47:34.920 oppressive they should have more freedom

00:47:36.880 people should have the freedom to be jerks

00:47:39.240 in public I know I'm supposed to say

00:47:40.560 that but that's just not my view

00:47:42.920 because look if you are not starting

00:47:44.860 from the presupposition that we have an

00:47:47.540 inherent right to basically just do

00:47:49.320 whatever we want all the time then if

00:47:51.720 you're not starting from that

00:47:52.720 presupposition and other cultures other

00:47:55.980 countries they don't they don't they

00:47:57.260 don't start from a presupposition well

00:47:58.820 then it makes a lot of sense to outlaw

00:47:59.940 people from acting like obnoxious a-holes in

00:48:02.060 public the only reason to not outlaw that

00:48:05.000 behavior is if you assume philosophically

00:48:07.920 that there's some kind of inherent human

00:48:10.380 entitlement to be a jerk if you want to

00:48:12.300 be but I don't think that entitlement

00:48:14.600 actually exists and I think some

00:48:17.660 countries decide to make room for that

00:48:19.440 and others don't and I totally understand

00:48:21.080 the ones that don't and it's like I said

00:48:24.680 yesterday what we have to confront and

00:48:26.540 you know what we have to acknowledge here

00:48:28.000 in America is that we talk about our

00:48:32.880 freedoms and how great it is to have all

00:48:35.120 these freedoms and be able to do

00:48:36.440 whatever we want and then we want to

00:48:38.800 export these ideas overseas we want to

00:48:42.980 defend freedom overseas we still hear

00:48:44.820 this all the time but many of these

00:48:47.300 countries that don't have quote freedom

00:48:49.800 the way that we perceive it they look at

00:48:53.640 us and they say well what is that freedom

00:48:55.080 doing for you so we we say we claim oh if

00:48:58.960 you want to be happy and successful and

00:49:00.720 thrive and be prosperous you have to have

00:49:02.720 freedom the way that we understand

00:49:04.140 freedom there's other countries they

00:49:05.600 look at us and say really because you

00:49:08.180 guys are happy don't seem like it you're

00:49:10.100 prosperous doesn't seem like it your

00:49:12.520 cities are falling apart you've got drug

00:49:14.320 addicts wandering around like zombies

00:49:16.760 homeless people defecating in the street

00:49:18.520 crime is rampant people walking into

00:52:00.260 daily cancellation if I were to ask you

00:52:06.500 to name the greatest example of

00:52:08.480 political courage in modern American

00:52:10.400 history I'm sure many possibilities

00:52:12.220 will spring immediately to mind we are

00:52:13.920 blessed to be led by a collection of

00:52:16.040 the bravest and most inspirational human

00:52:17.820 beings to have ever lived on the planet I

00:52:19.460 think we all agree with that courage is

00:52:21.000 their defining feature indeed if

00:52:22.960 Washington DC is known for anything it

00:52:25.220 is known as a place of high character

00:52:26.700 and moral fortitude and so if you wanted

00:52:29.840 to name the all-time greatest example of

00:52:32.460 courage among our elected officials

00:52:33.800 we'd have a tough time picking just one

00:52:35.860 but you might point to the time when

00:52:37.220 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went to the

00:52:39.660 border and bravely faced down an empty

00:52:41.400 parking lot and wept theatrically while

00:52:43.760 the cameraman she brought with her took

00:52:45.620 pictures or you might mention the time

00:52:48.120 when congressional Democrats donned

00:52:49.940 African tribal garb and knelt on one

00:52:52.000 knee in honor of St. George Floyd or

00:52:54.040 what about the the time when

00:52:55.220 congressman Andy Kim announced that he

00:52:58.640 was donating the blue suit that he wore

00:53:00.680 on January 6th to the Smithsonian so that

00:53:02.700 the day quote will never be forgotten

00:53:04.520 of course not all the most valiant

00:53:06.860 valiant moments have come courtesy of

00:53:08.620 Democrats Republicans are also famously

00:53:10.920 bold and intrepid remember for example

00:53:13.280 when some Dr. Seuss books were getting

00:53:15.820 canceled so Kevin McCarthy recorded a

00:53:18.400 video of himself reading green eggs and

00:53:20.120 ham even though that wasn't one of the

00:53:22.220 canceled books these and many other acts

00:53:24.980 of heroism come to mind but all of them

00:53:27.160 pale in comparison to this representative

00:53:31.280 Greg Kassar a Democrat in Texas stood in

00:53:34.960 front of the U.S. Capitol this week to

00:53:36.180 protest a law in Texas that supposedly

00:53:38.820 eliminates heat protections and water

00:53:40.700 breaks for workers in the state now we

00:53:43.600 haven't gotten to the really courageous

00:53:44.760 part yet but first let's hear a bit of

00:53:46.600 Greg Kassar delivering his brave speech

00:53:49.440 a couple of days ago listen this month

00:53:53.200 in the hottest month in Texas history

00:53:57.160 and many of our cities on July 4th it

00:53:59.660 was the hottest day in recorded world

00:54:01.560 history supposed leaders entrusted by us

00:54:05.580 to do right by us like Governor Greg

00:54:07.900 Gabby stripped workers right to a water

00:54:10.740 break away he does that because it is

00:54:16.880 big corporate interest top priority and

00:54:19.320 so it is his right but what they're not

00:54:22.360 counting on is that they're not going to

00:54:24.520 stop us make us think that if we work

00:54:28.400 and we advance forward that if they shut

00:54:30.300 that down that they shut us down and

00:54:32.460 today we're here to show that they will

00:54:34.460 never shut down the movement of workers

00:54:36.660 the movement of women the movement of

00:54:38.880 young people the intergenerational

00:54:40.500 our hearts and our faith in democracy

00:54:43.160 cannot be stopped we are joined by

00:54:46.320 people from across the country and I

00:54:48.440 feel an overwhelming sense of hope I

00:54:50.680 know there's people out there working

00:54:52.640 in 110 degrees today and my sense is

00:54:55.700 it's my job to do out here and do my

00:54:57.720 job and my sense is it's my job to do

00:55:01.580 out here and do my job I can only assume

00:55:04.660 that was a Joe Biden quote and a quite

00:55:06.320 an eloquent one but Kassar's point is

00:55:08.300 that it's hot outside and people need

00:55:10.200 water breaks and Greg Abbott's law

00:55:12.220 outlawing water breaks his law which

00:55:14.400 says that workers cannot have water is

00:55:17.220 an atrocity and the media needless to

00:55:19.260 say agrees which is why there have been

00:55:20.600 many headlines calling attention to this

00:55:22.060 travesty the Guardian reports quote

00:55:23.780 Texas governor signs bill rescinding water

00:55:26.380 breaks as deadly heat grips state NBC

00:55:29.420 news declares backlash bruise against

00:55:31.540 Texas law that eliminates mandatory

00:55:33.180 water breaks business insider Texas

00:55:35.820 construction workers protest after

00:55:37.200 Greg Abbott axed mandated water breaks

00:55:39.160 calling it the law that kills you get

00:55:41.740 the idea the only problem with all of

00:55:44.760 this and it's it's a minor problem

00:55:46.440 really I mean a technicality is that

00:55:49.320 it's all completely made up Texas is not

00:55:52.340 eliminating water breaks there's no law

00:55:54.480 being signed by Abbott that rescinds

00:55:56.240 water breaks or even addresses the issue

00:55:58.240 of water breaks okay Greg Abbott is not

00:56:00.240 some sort of super villain who's sitting

00:56:01.940 there and he sees that it's hot outside

00:56:03.160 he says you know what I'm gonna do I'm

00:56:04.460 gonna take away their water no more

00:56:06.040 water for any of you you pansies you

00:56:08.460 don't need water no one's allowed to

00:56:10.520 have water that didn't happen okay the

00:56:13.560 New York Times article on this

00:56:14.820 controversy admits this 10 paragraphs

00:56:17.160 down it stipulates the law does not

00:56:19.540 address water breaks or other specific

00:56:21.120 ordinances instead it bans action by

00:56:23.620 cities to regulate work conditions that

00:56:25.740 go beyond state law Texas law does not

00:56:27.740 provide for water breaks according to

00:56:29.440 the federal occupational safety and

00:56:31.160 health administration neither does

00:56:32.700 federal law so in other words this is

00:56:35.460 all over a law by the state it was passed

00:56:38.220 by by by state legislators that attempts

00:56:41.340 to address inconsistencies and policies

00:56:43.520 and regulations and ensure that local

00:56:45.480 policies don't conflict with state policy

00:56:47.520 and Texas has decided that this is

00:56:48.980 necessary because progressive blue cities

00:56:51.360 in Texas often attempt to do things and

00:56:53.980 pass ordinances and regulations that

00:56:56.040 directly conflict with state law but

00:56:58.700 none of this has anything to do with

00:57:00.180 water breaks the legislation again says

00:57:03.580 nothing about water breaks Democrats

00:57:05.400 simply went looking for the most

00:57:06.880 outrageous possible hypothetical

00:57:08.600 consequence of this action by Abbott and

00:57:11.240 they came up with this idea that it might

00:57:13.060 mean that construction workers can't drink

00:57:15.460 water but of course this law by no means

00:57:17.400 prevents anyone from taking a water

00:57:18.840 break or means that anyone's not going to

00:57:20.540 have it it does not rescind water breaks

00:57:22.480 or ban them or take them away there is no

00:57:24.580 evidence that any construction worker in

00:57:26.740 the state anywhere will now be forced to

00:57:28.980 go without water this is completely made

00:57:31.220 up for the record but let's not allow that

00:57:35.360 to distract us from the heroism the fact

00:57:38.600 that none of this is true and it's all

00:57:40.140 completely bogus doesn't mean that we

00:57:42.340 can't be inspired by it especially

00:57:44.700 considering this detail representative Greg

00:57:47.560 Kassar didn't just stand there and

00:57:49.760 protest a law that doesn't exist he

00:57:51.720 protested the invisible law while not eating

00:57:54.660 or drinking Kassar in solidarity with the

00:57:57.100 workers who can all definitely still drink

00:57:58.780 water decided to go on a thirst and hunger

00:58:01.420 strike he announced that he would not eat

00:58:03.860 or drink water for as long as possible he

00:58:05.900 would sit on the steps he would eat

00:58:07.760 nothing he would drink nothing for an

00:58:10.200 unspecified amount of time and that is

00:58:12.860 what this brave man did over time his

00:58:15.780 movement grew one by one other elected

00:58:17.760 Democrats showed up and joined the hunger

00:58:20.380 and thirst strike by not eating or drinking

00:58:22.200 for at least the amount of time it took

00:58:23.800 them to give a three-minute speech

00:58:25.160 Joaquin Castro posted his speech along

00:58:27.300 with a black and white photo trying to

00:58:29.580 make it look like some kind of great

00:58:30.760 historic moment in the fight for civil

00:58:32.320 rights and it was because of all the

00:58:34.980 fictional laws that have ever not existed

00:58:36.780 the fictional law that doesn't ban

00:58:38.700 construction workers from drinking water

00:58:39.900 is certainly among the worst and Castro

00:58:42.840 made that clear listen Texas Republicans for

00:58:46.140 years have talked about the Texas

00:58:47.500 miracle these are the people that built

00:58:49.780 the Texas miracle people that when

00:58:52.540 you're driving along in 105 degree

00:58:54.340 weather out on the highway they're

00:58:55.880 working out on the highway on I-35 the

00:58:59.040 people that are working on top of roofs

00:59:00.720 in San Antonio in the Rio Grande Valley

00:59:03.000 in Fort Worth all over the state the

00:59:05.320 people that are working in fields picking

00:59:07.380 crops they built the Texas miracle not

00:59:10.300 Greg Abbott that's right and I challenge

00:59:13.460 the governor to spend one day one day

00:59:17.140 without water one day in the governor's

00:59:20.460 mansion the air-conditioned governor's

00:59:21.980 mansion without water yes can the

00:59:25.120 governor go one day without water

00:59:26.680 representative Kassar is doing it maybe

00:59:29.400 well it was still unclear how long his

00:59:31.880 strike would was going to last but in

00:59:33.860 the meantime many other Democrats stopped

00:59:35.420 by representative Hakeem Jeffries

00:59:36.820 representative Sylvia Garcia

00:59:38.060 representative Pramila Jayapal tweeted

00:59:40.440 her support she said thank you

00:59:41.600 representative Kassar for standing up for

00:59:43.120 workers and showing the stunning cruelty

00:59:44.880 of taking away even heat and water

00:59:47.300 breaks looking forward to coming to

00:59:48.920 support you and our workers yes it

00:59:51.180 would indeed be stunning cruelty to

00:59:53.040 take away water breaks if anyone had

00:59:54.620 actually done that which nobody had

00:59:56.680 but that's not the point you already

00:59:58.680 know that AOC would not be able to

01:00:00.380 stay away from a stunt like this and

01:00:02.180 she didn't so sometime during the

01:00:03.840 course of the afternoon she showed up

01:00:05.320 briefly took some pictures and then

01:00:07.040 tweeted this we joined representative

01:00:08.780 Kassar and Dolores Huerta at the

01:00:10.820 thirst strike Texas just passed a law

01:00:12.600 blocking water breaks for

01:00:13.920 construction workers President Biden

01:00:15.400 can stop it by implementing a heat

01:00:16.800 stress rule it's time for the

01:00:18.440 president to act hashtag workers can't

01:00:21.000 wait again Texas did not pass that law

01:00:24.200 it doesn't exist but whatever do not

01:00:27.100 get sidetracked by the sheer dishonesty

01:00:28.720 of all this focus instead on the

01:00:30.960 courage the unprecedented undaunted

01:00:33.740 courage courage that you cannot help

01:00:36.200 but stand and applaud especially when

01:00:37.800 you hear this part get ready for this

01:00:40.460 when all was said and done Kassar's

01:00:44.020 hunger and thirst strike lasted get

01:00:46.260 this almost nine hours the man went

01:00:50.160 almost nine hours without food or water

01:00:52.760 he made it roughly the time from an

01:00:55.040 early lunch to a late dinner he did

01:00:57.380 what nearly everyone in the world does

01:00:59.080 every single night when they sleep the

01:01:01.460 bravery here is simply impossible to

01:01:03.740 fully comprehend at the end of this

01:01:06.180 harrowing day Kassar tweeted quote

01:01:08.120 yesterday was incredible I was

01:01:10.260 honored to be joined at my thirst

01:01:11.560 strike by workers in Texas and across

01:01:13.200 the nation and by lots of colleagues

01:01:14.920 pushing for federal heat safety

01:01:16.520 protections nine hours without water

01:01:19.480 or food but I'm more energized than

01:01:21.420 ever to get this done nine hours

01:01:24.560 almost nine hours we'll call it nine

01:01:26.720 hours nine hours without water or food

01:01:28.940 I've never done anything like that in

01:01:31.400 my life except for every time I skip

01:01:34.040 lunch on a work day which is like probably

01:01:35.940 two or three times a week so aside from

01:01:38.080 two or three times a week I've never

01:01:39.880 done anything like that I've never done

01:01:41.880 anything like that on the days when I

01:01:43.400 don't do that we'll put it that way the

01:01:45.900 point is Greg Kassar has done the

01:01:48.600 unimaginable he stopped eating and

01:01:50.760 drinking around 9 a.m. and then he had

01:01:53.140 some water around 5 30 or so and went

01:01:54.800 home truly a saga that will be

01:01:56.840 remembered for generations along with

01:01:59.300 that tweet Kassar posted three photos and

01:02:01.260 one of the photos is him giving his

01:02:03.100 triumphant speech where he decries a law

01:02:05.720 that doesn't exist and one of the one of

01:02:07.700 the photos was him walking alongside

01:02:09.140 Bernie Sanders who at least has the

01:02:11.280 perpetual look of a fatally dehydrated

01:02:13.260 man and another as was of him being

01:02:16.360 attended to by three people while they

01:02:19.280 take his pulse and put an ice pack on

01:02:21.180 his neck because he skipped lunch this is

01:02:24.100 a picture that he chose to post himself he

01:02:27.220 wanted everyone to see that he wanted

01:02:29.460 everyone to see that this is what he

01:02:31.300 looks like after a few hours without

01:02:32.940 food or water he's like my six-year-old

01:02:35.400 when he you know asks for a graham

01:02:37.320 cracker and I tell him that we're not

01:02:38.580 we're not having snacks because we're

01:02:39.780 about to have dinner and he collapses on

01:02:41.560 the ground and cries out that he'll

01:02:42.860 surely starve dramatics very similar to

01:02:46.520 what we're seeing from Greg Kassar which

01:02:48.300 only tells me that my six-year-old must

01:02:50.440 also be a civil rights hero but let's not

01:02:53.240 change the subject from Greg Kassar he

01:02:55.520 certainly doesn't want us to Greg Kassar

01:02:57.700 the man who went half a day well like

01:03:01.600 a third of a day maybe but anyway

01:03:03.500 without food or water Greg Kassar the

01:03:07.000 man who nearly starved himself in

01:03:08.840 protest of a law that doesn't exist Greg

01:03:11.680 Kassar the hero who sat on the steps for

01:03:14.340 a few hours without so much as a single

01:03:16.460 LaCroix sparkling water to sustain him

01:03:18.660 his is a name that will ring down through

01:03:22.440 the generations his bravery will inspire

01:03:25.300 millions for years to come they will

01:03:27.900 build statues to remember this man and

01:03:30.700 this pivotal moment in history when

01:03:33.760 everything changed it'll likely take him

01:03:37.160 weeks to recover from the deprivations he

01:03:40.400 suffered through he may never be the same

01:03:42.980 again you know something that is true

01:03:45.920 for the world too we have looked upon

01:03:48.160 Greg Kassar and his almost nine hours

01:03:51.000 without water or snacks and we have been

01:03:53.560 transformed by it we stand in awe tears in

01:03:58.560 our eyes wondering how he did it but

01:04:02.940 grateful that he did and that is why Greg

01:04:06.140 Kassar is certainly not canceled but the

01:04:08.480 other Greg Greg Abbott the governor who

01:04:10.460 signed that terrible law that also happens

01:04:12.300 to be imaginary and totally made up is the

01:04:14.860 one who is today canceled that'll do it for

01:04:19.340 this portion of the show is move over the

01:04:20.640 members block hope to see you there if not

01:04:22.340 talk to you tomorrow Godspeed
