In this week's episode, we're joined by Fox's Janice Dean to talk about the new mask guidelines, the Kentucky Derby, and whether or not Andrew Cuomo is responsible for the deaths of over 9,000 people in the wake of the COVID pandemic.
00:00:28.000If you've gotten your vaccine, your full vaccine, you don't gotta wear a mask anymore, and something weird has happened.
00:00:34.000Democrats and leftist personalities don't want to take their masks off, and this resulted in almost... I want to call it a fight.
00:00:43.000I was fighting with myself, like, should we say fight?
00:00:46.000Because basically, a staffer for Marjorie Taylor Greene yells to Eric Swalwell, you know, Democrat from the Bay Area, Biden says you can take your mask off, and then Swalwell gets in his face and says, don't you tell me what to effing do!
00:00:56.000And then all of a sudden, everyone's like, oh, it's huge news, they're fighting.
00:00:59.000And then Swalwell's like, don't bully people who wear masks.
00:01:02.000And I just find it very, very strange how tribal the whole thing is.
00:01:06.000But this is, it's a bigger story just beyond the mask thing, because as many of you know, there are real serious ramifications for the COVID restrictions, the people who've been arrested.
00:01:17.000People whose businesses have been shut down, and more importantly, the people who lost their lives, not just from the pandemic, but the people who were literally killed by Andrew Cuomo, and many of these other governors who were warned not to put sick people into these nursing homes.
00:01:33.000We're gonna talk about these guidelines, where we're currently at, and what's going on with the Cuomo thing, because, my friends, I mean, it looks like he's getting away with it.
00:03:25.000You don't want to be as strong as I did when I talk about Cuomo literally killing people.
00:03:30.000Well, it's interesting that you say that because I, you know, I get a little bit nervous about it.
00:03:36.000I don't know if we can prove that he has killed all these people.
00:03:40.000I will tell you as someone who has relatives, my husband's parents were in separate elder care facilities.
00:03:47.000They both died of COVID and not hearing the fact that the governor was putting over 9,000 COVID positive patients into nursing homes.
00:03:56.000We weren't hearing that on television.
00:03:58.000The nursing homes didn't tell us that.
00:04:01.000So I became vocal when I kept seeing the governor on CNN with his brother and the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Hour not talking about the nursing home issues and instead, you know, talking about the LoveGov and the fact that he has a book coming out and Somebody threw a big banner over a highway.
00:05:44.000In the event that we get suspended, banned, purged, or whatever, this is where you'll find our content.

00:06:03.000Before we go absolutely nuclear, I wanted to kind of warm up a little bit, because, like, talking about Cuomo killing a bunch of people is pretty intense.
00:07:22.000Oh, ladies and gentlemen, because we are the bastion of real journalism, we were talking before the show with Janice about these silly videos where people have magnets and they put them on their arms.
00:08:29.000A lot of them don't like the idea of emergency authorization or vaccine passports.
00:08:34.000But a lot of them got the vaccine and are like, look, there's a difference between you having a choice to go out and decide what you want to do, what's best for you, and then having the government say what you have to do, or having now, back to the mask topic, In New York City, New York State, Cuomo's like, we're not going to release the mask mandate.
00:08:57.000If you see some of his press conferences and you tell him, well, you said, don't tell me I said that, even though he probably said that.
00:09:05.000It's funny because he's saying, don't tell me what to do, while we're saying, don't tell me what to do.
00:09:09.000It's the difference of, he's not saying, don't tell me what to do, in a sense.
00:09:13.000He's saying, don't tell me what to do with my kingdom, my subjects.
00:09:18.000Remember when the vaccines first came out?
00:09:20.000He didn't want them because they were under Trump.
00:09:23.000He basically said, no, no, we don't have any proof these vaccines work.
00:09:28.000And so therefore, I don't believe in them.
00:09:30.000This is the funniest thing about the vaccine thing to me is that I find most conservatives, you know, if you look at like Ben Shapiro, their main talking point is the government shouldn't force people to do it and vaccine passports are overreached.
00:09:44.000But you have a lot of people, some of the staunchest Trump supporters who are very much anti like vaccine.
00:09:50.000I don't think it's necessarily necessarily fair to say anti-vaxxer in the sense that most of the criticism is with it's a new mRNA is new.
00:10:03.000But there's there's a decent amount of people who are supporting Donald Trump and demanding he get credit for Operation Warp Speed for getting the vaccine done and then going like, I'm not taking that crazy thing.
00:10:15.000That's not everybody, but it exists, alright?
00:10:17.000And then you have people on the left who are like, the whole time, what was it, I think Kamala Harris, Cuomo, were critical, saying, oh no, you know, we don't have the research for this, we're not gonna do it.
00:10:26.000Now that Biden's president, they're all giving him a standing ovation, congratulations on the vaccine, good sir, and they're not mentioning Trump at all.
00:10:34.000It was even brought up in a press conference the other day where someone said to Cuomo, well, the fact that you don't, that people don't want to get the vaccine, don't you attribute that to in the beginning you saying that you didn't believe in the vaccine?
00:10:52.000I gotta say, credit where credit is due, Gretchen Whitmer said the CDC said we're lifting the mask mandates, so we're lifting the mask mandates.
00:12:12.000I love how he's writing a book about his success in the pandemic while he's literally killing people.
00:12:15.000I thought it was a joke when that report came out that he was working on a book, a leadership book, in the middle of a pandemic when thousands of elderly were dying in nursing homes.
00:12:27.000I thought it was like The Onion or one of those joke websites.
00:12:54.000I mean, he lied about the nursing home thing.
00:12:56.000I mean, the fact that they covered up the amount of deaths in the nursing homes for so long and how that was debunked by the New York Times, that there is all sorts of information from his health department.
00:13:11.000They were going to release the numbers for many months, but we were asking for the total number of deaths while he was writing that book, while he was trying to sell that $4 million book.
00:13:23.000So the fact that he went above and beyond his health department and told them not to release the accurate amount of numbers during that time.
00:13:32.000Does that confirm that he told them not to?
00:14:22.000I'm grateful to Bill Barr for starting that because that's the one that got him all freaked out when they found out that the DOJ was doing an investigation into nursing homes and that's when they realized, oh my gosh, they want accurate numbers and that's when his top aide, Melissa DeRosa, In a meeting with Democratic lawmakers, closed door said, well, we froze and we didn't want to, you know, we didn't want to give the information out because, you know, that that would prove that that maybe we had something to hide.
00:15:03.000And that's why she took a bunch of Democratic lawmakers into a closed door meeting to say, I'm really sorry we didn't tell you, but You know, we couldn't put more fire into this situation because, you know, we didn't want people to freak out.
00:15:17.000And what they tried to spin it as was they didn't want the Trump administration to politicize these numbers.
00:15:59.000I mean, every time I think that there is another, you know, You know, actually, every time there was a new woman coming forward with some of these sexual harassment allegations, he would start to lift restrictions.
00:17:01.000The AG report, New York's Attorney General Letitia James, who is a Democrat, released a report in January that basically did the investigation to what we've all wanted, which was the accurate number of deaths in nursing homes.
00:17:20.000He wasn't counting those that died in the hospital, like my mother-in-law, for example.
00:17:24.000She got COVID in her assisted living residence.
00:17:26.000She died in the hospital, but her number did not count.
00:17:29.000He was the only governor that didn't count those that died in the hospital.
00:17:32.000And you can imagine if you're not counting those, that's going to be a significant percentage of numbers you're not admitting to.
00:17:40.000So Letitia James did her own document, 76 pages, that basically said, He was hiding the numbers.
00:17:48.000And that's when the dam began to crack.
00:17:50.000And that's when you started to realize that maybe he does have enemies in his own party.
00:18:14.000As long as something eventually brings him down.
00:18:17.000And the fact that there are investigations into the nursing home issue and more people know about it, you know, I feel like I'm on the side of the angels and hopefully, you know, good will prevail.
00:19:28.000With New York City, I'd imagine they probably could get rid of him.
00:19:33.000You know, they're all gonna vote against him.
00:19:35.000But who could it be, I guess, is the question.
00:19:39.000Who's got the charisma to actually run?
00:19:42.000If they don't replace Cuomo because they don't have a strong enough candidate, then I think a Republican could probably win because the rest of New York State's gonna be like, just enough already.
00:19:51.000I don't know what that would mean, though.
00:20:38.000They just have a tiebreaker with Kamala.
00:20:40.000So if what we're seeing now with the ratings on these more progressive outlets, the ratings with CNN and MSNBC going down, the Democrats have gone back to sleep.
00:20:51.000The voter base is like disinterested now that Trump is gone.
00:20:55.000The conservatives, the anti-woke, the anti-critical race theory types, the disaffected liberals, they're active.
00:21:03.000So come 2022, I think we could see a big push for the Republicans to take control of everything.
00:21:49.000All of these people who came out and celebrated Caitlyn Jenner saying, you're brave, we respect you, you're amazing and powerful, all of a sudden now are like, you're evil and wrong and we must resist.
00:22:00.000They're gonna support Gavin Newsom simply because of the tribe they're in.
00:22:03.000It's the Democrats, gotta vote Democrat no matter what, gotta wear a mask, doesn't matter what the CDC says.
00:24:21.000I can give you some general first aid advice.
00:24:24.000But this stuff is contentious, tribal.
00:24:27.000I just say talk to a doctor to figure out what makes sense.
00:24:30.000And what happened with Bill Maher, he got sick, but he's asymptomatic because he's been vaccinated.
00:24:36.000So you can still get it, but you're not going to die from it.
00:24:40.000So I guess the people that got vaccinated, they still think there's a chance they might get it and that people might asymptomatically spread it, so they're putting the mask on just to be safe.
00:24:55.000I think this whole time, most people did not know what was happening.
00:25:01.000They don't, well, I think the big divide between, you know, in the culture war is what I refer to as the uninitiated and the initiated.
00:25:10.000The people who pay attention to politics, who watch the videos, and the people who just passively hear things.
00:25:15.000So, if you're following a lot of this news, you've got a much more, you're probably a lot more relaxed about everything.
00:25:22.000Because you've seen the reports, you've seen the numbers in Texas and Florida going down, you've seen Fauci's statements, and you're probably like, okay, I think we're gonna be alright.
00:25:29.000And if you don't pay attention, all you see is masks everywhere and warning signs and street closures and cities shut down.
00:25:37.000I think a good example is like Kyle Rittenhouse, where if you follow, you know, we've had Richie McGinnis here numerous times, and I don't know if you're familiar, he's the journalist who was actually there and actually rendered aid to the men.
00:25:49.000So he tells us what happens and we get a clear picture and we're like, oh, that's really interesting.
00:25:53.000But then I hear from people who don't pay attention to the news.
00:25:55.000Kyle Rittenhouse took a gun across state lines and did all these things, like none of which is true.
00:25:59.000So they're angry and they have this distorted view of things.
00:26:03.000A lot of my friends, like I have a really good friend of mine who's like, I want to come and visit, but you know, I'm really worried about traveling and I'm just like, whatever makes sense for you.
00:26:12.000And they're like, once I get my vaccine, you know, I'll think if I could, I'll figure out if I can do it or not.
00:28:28.000You know, we've had a terrible year with loss in our family.
00:28:30.000You know, you talk about us in COVID, but the kids, my children, 12 years old, 10 years old, wearing those masks in school.
00:28:41.000when there's hardly any risk for them to get it.
00:28:45.000Going outside for a 10 minute mask break, not being able to socialize with their friends,
00:28:52.000having plastic around their desks, it is soul crushing.
00:28:57.000I think what people need to realize about their kids too is that I think, you know, we're all a bit older.
00:29:05.000So for us, we've experienced so much, our personalities have formed, we've become mature adults.
00:29:10.000To someone who's 10 years old, a day is a lot longer.
00:29:14.000Because they're forming these experiences, they're developing into the people they'll become in the future.
00:29:19.000So when you take a year, which is a tenth of a 10-year-old's life, 10% of their life, and you turn it into this thing, that's going to affect them for the rest of their lives.
00:30:24.000He just was not able to really process the information through the iPad, and it was getting to the point where he wasn't learning anything.
00:30:35.000And so we put him in Catholic school because they were going to school.
00:30:44.000And we made that decision because he just was having such a hard time doing this remote learning.
00:30:49.000And I talked to so many parents that are worried about their kids that went through a year of this that really didn't learn much of anything.
00:31:20.000You know, I haven't, uh, I, I worry, um, you know, listen, I grew up, I grew up in Canada and you know, I, my best friend was Indian and, but I never, you know, looked at that.
00:31:34.000I never looked at her by the color of her skin.
00:31:36.000I would go over to her house and I would, I would love to learn about her traditions and her family.
00:31:41.000Uh, and you know, now, nowadays it would be like, well, you have to, you have to acknowledge the color of her skin.
00:31:48.000And I am of the belief that, you know what?
00:32:06.000I bring this up just because you mentioned, you know, the iPad learning stuff and a lot of parents were finally seeing their kids were learning this crazy racist and not just racist stuff.
00:32:14.000Critical theory in general encompasses all aspects of identity.
00:32:17.000And then decided to send their kids to private schools, to Catholic schools.
00:32:20.000So I was curious if that... No, but I will say that that has been one thing that we've been able to see online.
00:32:29.000Watching these online courses, you see these teachers, how they really are.
00:32:33.000We're lucky because I believe that in our school district, they're in it for the right reasons.
00:32:40.000But man, the stuff that you are seeing, some of the parents that are calling out these teachers, I mean, unbelievable.
00:32:47.000So maybe that's a silver... I mean, that's the wrong word, silver lining, but maybe that is something that we're now paying attention to because of this.
00:32:57.000You know, a lot of people don't like to say something like this, but you know, when God closes the door, he opens a window or something like that.
00:33:03.000There's always, you know, you look on the brighter side, things like that.
00:33:06.000People don't want to say that because the pandemic's been so brutal to a lot of people, but it's never just black and white.
00:33:12.000If there's something that came out of this that could be, at least in some way, considered to be beneficial, it's that parents got a warning.
00:33:18.000about what was going on, teachers were freaking out.
00:33:22.000Early on in the pandemic, there was a viral video where one teacher was saying,
00:33:26.000we have to make sure the parents don't hear what they're telling their kids.
00:34:03.000A few years ago, people would say, Why don't you just build a green screen in your house and you don't have to go in and do the weather anymore?
00:34:10.000And I thought, oh, that's never going to happen.
00:35:12.000I really think this has been a lost year for a lot of children.
00:35:15.000I really think that some kids should, you know, go through the same grade again.
00:35:21.000I mean, I don't think that that will happen, but I saw, you know, my child go through this just, you know, Trying to focus on the screen and not being, you know, my, Theodore is somebody that needs to be interactive with people and have someone in front of him sort of, you know, showing him.
00:35:40.000Um, so I, I really think that I had to do the right thing and get him back into school because that's the way he learns the best.
00:35:48.000And it's a private Catholic school, so you're probably getting, I'm not trying to disparage public schools, but I imagine it's better.
00:36:45.000So when I was a kid, we didn't use the internet.
00:36:50.000You know, back in my day, we had the TV, and it would be snowing, and it would be a couple inches, we'd have the TV on, and they'd be announcing school closures, and we'd be like, come on!
00:37:01.000And then they'd say, you know, Mark Twain Elementary, yes!
00:37:04.000And then we'd run outside and make snowballs and throw them.
00:37:06.000Now they're like, and the schools that will be doing remote learning today in the storm will be... Can I tell you a secret?
00:37:13.000That happened with my kids, and I was like, you're You're off sick today.
00:37:44.000But they still have to do the homework or whatever.
00:37:46.000So, getting on to this tangent, we talked about the fact that I took my family to Aruba, and it was great, but I will tell you, just going through the hoops of the COVID tests, getting the COVID tests beforehand, Then going to the airport and having to check your luggage and going up to the ticket counter and them checking your documentation to show that you got the COVID test.
00:38:12.000And then, you know, if you don't have it online, my husband had it online and they were like, no, we need to see the paperwork.
00:38:18.000And thank goodness he did the paperwork because they didn't want to do the online thing.
00:38:22.000So you're in line for two hours, you know, socially distancing to get onto the flight.
00:38:29.000We went through like, Several security checkpoints to show them our documentation to get on the plane.
00:38:36.000You finally get on the plane, then you arrive in Aruba.
00:38:39.000And the same thing, you've got to show the people at the airport that you have your documentation and then they give you passes so that when you get to the hotel, you have to show them the pass that you got at the airport to prove that you had your COVID test.
00:38:54.000Oh, it was, I mean, listen, it was lovely that we were there and we were able to go to a beautiful place for a few days with our family.
00:39:03.000But the hoops that you had to go through, and I think a lot of it is political theater.
00:39:11.000I get to travel around the world before all these lockdowns and everything.
00:39:14.000You know, in the past 10 years, I've been to dozens upon dozens of countries that a lot of people aren't gonna be able to do anymore.
00:39:21.000I mean, it's not just about getting the tests.
00:39:23.000Some of these places require you to spend like two weeks in a hotel and like two grand up front.
00:39:29.000People aren't gonna be able to travel.
00:39:32.000I haven't seen my mom in over a year and a half because she lives in Canada still and it's not good there.
00:39:38.000She was in lockdown very recently because she lives in Ontario and the numbers were going up so they basically said you were housebound for a month.
00:39:47.000We do the Zoom time and stuff with her but I mean, I worry about, you know, her not getting out.
00:39:55.000You know, she's almost 80 years old and she's a fit 80 year old.
00:39:58.000And the other thing about Canada is that they have been terrible with the vaccines.
00:40:14.000They don't seem to be doing all that well.
00:40:16.000No, I mean a lot of people... I think Canada and their health care system needs to be more of a story here in the US to be honest with you.
00:40:27.000I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 16 years ago and a story that I tell people is that I was actually Almost diagnosed in Canada, but they told me I had to go back to the U.S.
00:40:40.000to get an MRI because I would be on a waiting list for over a year to get an MRI to be diagnosed.
00:40:46.000Yeah, one of my friends brought her dad back to the U.S.
00:40:49.000to have cancer treatment because they were gonna put him on a list too.
00:40:52.000It was gonna be something like four months.
00:40:53.000When you have cancer, you don't have four months.
00:40:55.000Canada's great if you're healthy and you don't have like a chronic illness.
00:41:00.000Do they have private health care, too?
00:41:10.000If you're dirt poor or homeless, I'm sure you'll take a wait list over nothing.
00:41:15.000I guess, however, in the United States, emergency rooms have to admit you.
00:41:18.000But there are still some complications.
00:41:21.000I don't want to get too personal, but there are some stories I know of people in my life where they were stuck in Canada wishing they could get to the United States for proper health care treatment because in Canada they don't have the same level of technology.
00:41:42.000I mean, listen, I grew up there, I have fond memories of being in Canada, but as somebody who has a chronic illness, we really have the best healthcare in the world.
00:42:03.000I felt like, you know, I truly believe I'm one of those people living the American dream because I wanted to be a broadcaster and I felt in Canada they kind of put a cap on what I could do.
00:42:12.000Well, you know, you're doing the job that you should be doing right now and you really can't go much further than that.
00:42:18.000Whereas I felt like, you know, I applied for a job in New York City and got in my car and I didn't have much money and packed a suitcase and I moved to New York.
00:42:27.000But man, having to be surrounded by all of those those evil white supremacists at Fox News must must be just so difficult.
00:42:52.000I've I've heard from many people that a lot of the people who work at Fox News in New York are actually liberals.
00:42:59.000Well, you know, to be quite honest with you, no one asks who the person voted for.
00:43:04.000Like when I went for my job interview, no one asked me who I voted for or, you know, uh, whether I identify as a Republican or, you know, a Democrat.
00:43:38.000You think the people in New York City are all a bunch of conservatives?
00:43:40.000So of course there are liberals who work at Fox News.
00:43:43.000But these are the people that might be liberal, but working alongside conservatives, don't view them as Nazis or whatever stupid lie the other media outlets are pushing.
00:43:51.000But I guess the name of the game today in media is hyper-partisan tribalism.
00:43:57.000And it's the weirdest thing that, you know, growing up, Fox News was the bad network.
00:44:02.000You know, Bill O'Reilly and sun goes up, sun goes down, you can't explain that kind of stuff.
00:44:07.000And now, For whatever reason, maybe it's just political, or maybe something really happened.
00:44:13.000Fox News is the outlet actually bringing on opposition voices, actually having challenging conversations.
00:44:19.000And the other outlets are just Trump sucks, the right are bad people, Fox News evil.
00:45:57.000Or they're just sick of the old same old thing.
00:45:59.000I mean, you turn on any one of the late hosts, you get the same joke.
00:46:03.000Yeah, I went on Twitter and I looked at, like, Stephen Colbert, actually, yesterday, and then I was like, you may also like Samantha Bee, uh, what other, all these, like, the same, Jimmy Kimmel, uh, I can't even think, I don't even want to think about these.
00:46:16.000Well, hey, Jimmy Kimmel had on Mike Lindell, I thought that was pretty good, actually.
00:46:19.000I don't know if it's just like, and I ain't saying the liberal media, but the liberal economic order, the liberal international order was created in 1946.
00:46:37.000I think the reason why all of these late-night hosts were in lockstep is that Donald Trump was a rogue.
00:46:44.000He was not in line with what the administrations of the past wanted.
00:46:50.000It's funny when you look at a lot of the wartime policies of many of the past presidents, and it was expansion, expansion, expansion, Middle East expansion, and then Trump was just roguelike.
00:48:50.000She says it's just not challenging anymore, but we all know why.
00:48:53.000It's because all the stories were coming out how she was not a nice person.
00:48:56.000Yeah, people are saying that she lied about being invited to Dakota Johnson's birthday or something, and I'm like, I gotta be honest, I really don't care.
00:49:47.000But has anybody seen any of those movies?
00:49:50.000I don't even know what they're talking about.
00:49:51.000No, but they're doing this diversity initiative where it's like, we could bring out the actors you know and love who are in the movies you know and love, or, hear me out, obscure films by non-white actors.
00:50:06.000Now, I got no issue if they want to give awards to people who aren't white.
00:50:11.000I don't see it as being an issue in any capacity.
00:50:13.000The problem is when they make something that isn't recognizable to anybody in the country.
00:50:23.000Pulling up movies that no one's seen or heard of, I don't know who's going to want to watch that.
00:50:27.000And I'm not saying it to be disrespectful.
00:50:29.000I'm not saying it like these people should watch it.
00:50:31.000What I mean is, if you've never heard of it, why would you be interested in it now?
00:50:35.000If they'd seen the movie earlier in the year, they might want to see if it'll win the award.
00:50:39.000But then I guess people were shocked that, um, who was supposed to win?
00:51:13.000I miss seeing actors that don't tell me who they voted for.
00:51:19.000Isn't it weird, though, that actors who probably would never have thought twice about you are now probably sitting around their friends saying that, you know, oh, you Fox News employees are evil fascists or something, and it's like...
00:51:32.000It's just weird to me to have watched Mark Ruffalo in all these movies for a decade.
00:51:58.000And of course, this is going through the whole time where I've been a bit of an advocate on behalf of my husband's parents.
00:52:05.000And they were doing some event for raising money.
00:52:09.000It was Ben Stiller, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, De Niro, and they were doing this online thing where you could meet the governor through Zoom and you had to pay like $1,000 that goes to his re-election campaign.
00:52:24.000So I went on Twitter and I was like, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Stiller, Billy Crystal, did you know that Governor Cuomo put over 9,000 COVID positive patients in nursing homes?
00:52:35.000You know, I did it because That's what people need to know about.
00:52:40.000And Ben Stiller came back at me and was like, oh, little Miss Sunshine, just because you don't like him doesn't mean, you know, I like him.
00:55:39.000Now, as for Joe Biden, because he's the president today, The problem is, you know, you go back to the Trump administration, and I try to be fair.
00:56:58.000And the media, you know, yelling comes out, there's no inflation problem.
00:57:02.000Then a week later, the New York Times.
00:57:03.000Well, inflation's a problem, here's what we gotta do about it.
00:57:06.000Joe Biden then says, we're gonna keep printing unemployment checks, which the Chamber of Commerce says is contributing to the unemployment problem.
00:57:27.000My response was, we don't have a control group by which to judge the metrics, you know, of Trump's responses, but I think certainly if you think Trump didn't do a good enough job, I'm willing to hear your criticisms.
00:59:22.000I was just mentioning we had the sodas and it kind of plays into it.
00:59:24.000But she recently was talking about Israel and Gaza and then somehow said, we don't want to recognize the plight of Palestine because it would make us have to recognize the plight of the migrants on our own border.
00:59:38.000You know, I think it might be because she doesn't really have policy positions.
00:59:42.000Maybe it's just cliche or stereotypical for me to be like, ah, you know, AOC doesn't have anything going on.
00:59:47.000But I really do feel like, you know, in this culture war, in this political divide, I mentioned it a moment ago, the uninitiated and the initiated.
00:59:54.000They are people who are just Democrats.
00:59:56.000So the Democrats must win no matter what.
00:59:58.000You can criticize Cuomo for doing something horrible, but their Democrat and Team Democrat must be protected at all costs.
01:03:26.000And Brian Stelter, I think, is one of the worst people on TV because he provides cover for them as this media reporter who's constantly... I'll tell you this.
01:03:36.000I've known Brian for a long time, not like I've known him well or anything.
01:03:39.000But it's amazing how he went from being a media reporter for the New York Times to the Fox News review show for CNN Sunday mornings.
01:04:10.000I actually put my vaccination on social media because I'm very open with having MS and I'm someone that, you know, should get the vaccine just for that very reason that I have a compromised immune system.
01:04:21.000So I was out there and I put it on social media.
01:04:23.000And then, of course, he's like, well, there's no Fox personalities that are putting out their vaccination selfies.
01:04:29.000And I just was like, I did this three weeks ago.
01:04:31.000Am I not a Fox and Friends personality?
01:04:34.000You know, You are, but it's bad for their narrative, so... Well, we don't mean the... The meteorologist.
01:05:05.000And at the time when he talked about that, a lot of people weren't allowed to get the vaccination because there was a hierarchy because of Andrew Cuomo, who could get the vaccination.
01:05:15.000So Stelter puts it out out there on social media, like, why aren't these Fox personalities going to get vaccinations?
01:05:22.000But at the time, we actually couldn't get them because we weren't a lot of them weren't of the age or Wasn't it specifically, why aren't they posting vaccine selfies?
01:06:24.000You don't necessarily have to put that out there at all.
01:06:27.000Why are you browbeating people for putting health information out there?
01:06:32.000They want to push the narrative that all of Fox News's viewers are anti-vaxxers or they are conspiracy theorists or QAnon or whatever the stuff.
01:07:05.000If you watch CNN and you never watch Fox News, they probably think it's a bunch of people walking around in Klan hoods with COVID and other diseases and no vaccines and there's just this hive of scum and villainy in New York City surrounded by gates that no one can get into or something.
01:07:22.000People gotta realize that Fox News, the building you work out of particularly, is in New York under the rules of Cuomo and de Blasio.
01:07:30.000So certainly they're taking it seriously because they legally have to.
01:07:42.000He was the mastermind behind Fox News.
01:07:47.000He helped a lot of political people with their careers in politics.
01:07:54.000And he was the one who kind of decided with Rupert Murdoch that there needed to be a television station, cable news network, that represented people that didn't feel that they were being represented.
01:08:07.000And so that was, I think, almost 25 years ago.
01:08:53.000You know, the fact that I talk about Andrew Cuomo is, you know, I've never thought I would ever be in this kind of position talking about politics because that's not my wheelhouse at all.
01:09:05.000They don't have an issue with you coming on shows like this and talking politics?
01:09:09.000I think that they knew that this was very personal for me.
01:09:14.000And at the very beginning when this was happening, my husband, who's a very private person, not in broadcasting at all, he didn't want me to bring up his family.
01:09:25.000They were very private people, but when we saw the fact that there was no news out there And the governor was going around as the go-to pandemic politician, not talking about these nursing home issues.
01:09:40.000It just, it became more and more clear that he was getting away with this.
01:11:19.000I, you know, I started to think, you know, there are a lot of Democrats that don't like them.
01:11:24.000And so that's why when all the harassment stuff was coming out, I thought that that's why they're jumping on this bandwagon.
01:11:29.000Cause they, they, the, the, the really criminal stuff is the nursing homes, but they can get behind the me too, uh, stuff because that's a little bit easier to digest, I guess, to go after the governor for the me too stuff.
01:12:28.000Probably not prison, but the media would, they would run for six months nonstop.
01:12:33.000It would be the top story on every single cable news channel.
01:12:37.000This is the problem with, The networks have built an audience based on Tribe because, I think mostly because of the internet.
01:12:47.000If people can choose to watch whatever they want, then they're going to choose to go where their bias leads them.
01:12:52.000So, CNN becomes the Orange Man Bad Network.
01:12:57.000Now, everything they say has to be in line with one particular worldview.
01:13:01.000Their ratings are in the gutter on fire because they've pigeonholed themselves.
01:13:05.000But I think they probably would have went under a long time ago if they didn't.
01:13:08.000Donald Trump allowed them to stay afloat for several years longer than they should have.
01:13:13.000People watch that network, or they used to, just to hear why Trump was bad, to prove to themselves that he was bad.
01:13:21.000Now that Trump is gone, what does CNN have to offer?
01:13:24.000I mean, they used to go and do reporting.
01:13:25.000They don't really do that so much anymore.
01:13:27.000I think they're trying to again, but...
01:13:30.000Well, to back to your point, you know, Fox has been really good to me.
01:13:34.000And when they knew my personal story and knew what I was trying to do by going on, you know, Tucker's show and Sean Hannity show and Fox and Friends, it was to be a voice for all of these families that didn't have one.
01:14:16.000Ask the kids, what's it like in New York?
01:14:18.000And then here you are in this very serious political fight, also on Tucker.
01:14:22.000You know, I can be both of those people.
01:14:24.000You know, I can still be the one that goes out there and has fun and, you know, does the Kentucky Derby and Groundhog Day and write the Freddy the Frogcaster books for the kids, but I can also be a serious person that wants to, you know, hold the governor's feet to the fire and try to make him accountable for something that he did wrong and that cost the lives of thousands.
01:14:49.000Now everybody wants to know, is Tucker a nice guy?
01:15:01.000So the Kentucky Derby was two weeks ago and this tomorrow I'll be at the Preakness, which is the they call it the second jewel in the Triple Crown.
01:15:11.000So if you win the Kentucky Derby and then you go on to win the Preakness and then you go on to win the Belmont Stakes, which is in New York.
01:18:19.000So there's a cup, it's full of soda, and then they put the lid on, they put the straw on, and then there's a plastic ring that goes over the top with your fries and your chicken nuggets or whatever.
01:18:36.000And people could have like their drink on the show with like chicken, I don't know, they have chicken nuggets on the show, I guess, if you'd like.
01:18:54.000And he was giving a speech, but continue.
01:18:55.000Yeah, I mean, he would just in the middle of his speech pull out an empanada out of his drawer and take a big bite as he's talking to these starving people.
01:21:01.000I think one of the funniest things I've seen is, like, you know, Janice, you're very straightforward, you know, wholesome, meteorology, and Ian's this, like, trippy, spacey guy.
01:21:14.000Before the show started, Ian was asking Janice, like, have you ever, like, looked at the collective conscious of electromagnetism affecting the sky?
01:21:21.000Have you ever used your magnetic field to interact with the clouds?
01:21:38.000I was in San Diego one year and there was this giant storm coming in, black on the radar.
01:21:44.000And we laid on the beach and just meditated and focused on it.
01:21:47.000And the clouds parted above us and the storm went to the north and the south, but it went around us.
01:21:53.000I've had multiple experiences like that.
01:21:55.000Like dancing on my roof and like doing Tai Chi and then the clouds start to spin and open up and you can see the moon and there's this thick cloud cover.
01:23:26.000The government is expected to release a report in June on UFO sightings after unclassified videos of them were leaked to the New York Times in 2017.
01:23:33.000Senator Marco Rubio called for the detailed analysis after he viewed classified briefings on UAP while he was the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
01:24:50.000The FBI, I think it was the FBI, went in Nikola Tesla's laboratory and was it the Wardenclyffe?
01:24:55.000They demolished Wardenclyffe, which was his like big power tower that he was trying to like charge batteries from a distance with.
01:25:02.000No, see, that's because the aliens made him do it, you know.
01:25:04.000Well, he used to say he would get communication from, uh, like, intelligence beyond what we understand.
01:25:10.000Tesla, the guy who made radio, basically.
01:25:12.000How funny would it be if, like, there's, like, these super intelligent aliens, and they're, like, sitting in their spaceship above the Earth, and one alien's just talking to another alien about something just totally inane, like, so the wife, uh, she wants to take skiing lessons.
01:26:57.000That's why people love Elon Musk so much.
01:26:58.000I think it's why people also want to believe that, you know, every Fox News host is a bad person or every person on the right is grifting and they don't actually believe their opinions.
01:27:08.000It's easier to believe in a world where there's a grand conspiracy against you and an evil villain running everything than it is to accept that you might be wrong or that, you know, life is more nuanced in this.
01:27:20.000I think there needs to be more Ben Stillers out there who like listens to the reason of why somebody did something.
01:27:33.000So I commented on someone's Facebook page or something.
01:27:36.000It was like, they were talking about, we're in the middle of the biggest general strike because people are walking out of these jobs.
01:27:43.000And I said, it's really interesting how in Republican areas, where they're getting rid of these unemployment waivers, the strike is ending.
01:27:50.000And then it came to someone, just immediately responded with some tribal comment, calling me a grifter or whatever.
01:27:55.000And I said, maybe the reason you guys believed in Russia was because you couldn't accept that your policies were bad, your candidate was bad, and because you couldn't accept that truth, you need an excuse as to why Hillary lost in 2016.
01:28:16.000They'll say, you know, people on the right, they're all grifters, or, you know, Fox News is a bunch of far-right whatever, because it's easier to believe that there's an evil presence as opposed to accepting that people might disagree or they might be wrong.
01:28:28.000When it comes to UFOs and things of this nature, it's just still in line with the conspiracies.
01:28:32.000I don't think people want to accept that life is routine and boring.
01:28:35.000Think about life in, you know, the 1600s, 1700s.
01:28:39.000All you did was wake up, farm, and go to bed.
01:29:55.000So you have a deck of cards and there's a card like a vampire on it or something.
01:29:59.000I was looking at some of these cards, and I was looking at trolls and goblins and vampires.
01:30:04.000And I started thinking about where these stories come from.
01:30:07.000I read once that vampires come from rabies.
01:30:09.000The people would be hydrophobic because of the rabies.
01:30:12.000Their gums would be pulled back so their teeth look bigger.
01:30:15.000And they'd bite you, and then you'd turn into a vampire, and zombies was the same myth.
01:30:19.000I don't know if that's true, but I think about these stories of dragons and whatever, and the story of a dragon probably was some dude who was like from somewhere in like Eastern Europe, went on a journey towards Asia or whatever, and at some point, I don't know where the Komodo dragons are native to, but saw a giant lizard.
01:30:37.000And then had a sword, and they like snapped at him, and they bashed it, and they were like, this is crazy, and they ran away.
01:30:43.000Drew a picture of it, and then said there was a gigantic lizard.
01:30:46.000And then someone sees that, and because they didn't actually see it, they see the picture, they're assuming it's this massive thing.
01:30:52.000Well, I've got, I think, maybe, like, giant dragonflies that had, like, flint in the back of their throat.
01:31:42.000That's kind of like astrology, like when you look at the constellations and they make up stories about, it's an archer, like that they've done that to animals in the past too.
01:31:51.000I know that there were like giant bears, like 18 foot tall bears or 16 foot tall, even the snub-nosed bear, which is only like 13,000 years ago that it went extinct, was like, I don't know, 16 feet tall or something?
01:32:04.000So I would imagine in the past like giant snakes and huge spiders that over time either couldn't sustain or we killed off.
01:32:12.000Yeah, I guess the theory is that there was a lot more oxygen back then.
01:32:16.000So these things could get a lot bigger.
01:32:17.000So we had these really huge mammals that are absolutely terrifying.
01:32:22.000And I'm not sure about the gigantic snakes, but I do know that there's like these really, really big critters that are absolutely horrifying to think about now.
01:32:31.000Like, again, we're so lucky to live at a time when we're at the top of the food chain because these animals are scared of us and we've, like, taken over a bunch of this.
01:32:49.000Maybe the reason we're seeing more and more aliens is because the political divide is getting so intense we're about to blow each other up.
01:33:39.000I'm referencing a movie called Iron Sky, but I just love it when Media Matters is like, Tim Pool thinks Nazis are on the moon and then they pull the clip.
01:36:54.000People don't realize that they assume that, you know, when I was on Rogan's show last time, last year, I mentioned that I was like, I record like three hours, three and a half hours a day.
01:37:03.000And he goes, that's only three and a half hours.
01:37:04.000And I was like, it's like eight hours of work, production, research, and then three hours of me recording myself talking.
01:37:12.000And I'm like, but you know, a lot of people don't realize, because they only see you on TV for a minute, they assume you show up for a minute, then you walk out the door and you're gone.
01:37:43.000Alright, TheCurlyAfro says, I see all this discussion that's not financial advice on BTC and Ethereum, but Ian leaves out one of the most fastest, most secure, and decentralized blockchain that dwarfs them, Digibyte, apes together strong, diamond hands, HODL.
01:40:29.000I think it's an issue of, for some people, Like, I refuse to bend the knee in any capacity, and I'm like, I'm more of a strategic get the, you know, accomplish the mission.
01:40:43.000And if the mission is, I want to buy some freezer pizza and I got to wear a mask to do it.
01:44:26.000I think a better way to describe it is your Grandma Ethel will give you a back rub and tell you a joke so you laugh and feel good, and your Grandma Methyl will stab you in the eyes with force.
01:49:06.000Yeah, they give you the alcohol wipes afterwards and I'm like wiping everything off and I'm like, can I just keep, it's like it never stops.
01:49:13.000It's like your face is a marker and you're just like, geez.
01:50:14.000I don't know if he did, but every time I go on a show, I think I've been on a show maybe twice or three times, they just, you know, lather it up.
01:50:23.000And then I walk in the room and sit down and it's fun.
01:50:25.000The age of LEDs has made it easier because when the halogen lights were so hot, if you ever sit next to a halogen, man, they just melt off.
01:51:15.000James Orenthal Nguyen says, My kid's school district in our area of Virginia does not hold failing students behind in what seems to be residual of No Child Left Behind.
01:51:26.000Also, we're only a few counties away from Luden.
01:52:33.000You know, he could have met with families.
01:52:35.000He could have written condolence cards instead of that stupid leadership book.
01:52:40.000At the very beginning, if he had apologized and said, you know what, I made a tremendous mistake and I'll spend the rest of my days, you know, trying to write this and it'll never happen again, instead of going on television with his brother and with his giant Q-tip.
01:55:38.000There was a story about the last blockbuster, and they set up an area of the blockbuster that looks like a 90s living room.
01:55:46.000So you could rent it on Airbnb and go and hang out with your friends and watch a movie.
01:55:50.000So I had an idea for a... You get like a three flat, and then the first floor is the 70s, second floor is the 80s, and the third floor is the 90s.
01:56:00.000And then people can Airbnb, and what you do is you can actually set up the specific date of when they're, like, your stay is, you know, 1994, May 1st, you know, and the time is 24 hours.
01:56:13.000And then what you do is you turn the TV on, and you could actually get the old archival programming, so they could turn the TV on.
01:56:20.000And then you could, like, order food, and the guy shows up with 90s-style, like, Domino's or Pizza Hut.
01:56:25.000And then when you open the fridge, so you basically buy all the old, refurbish all the old appliances, and then people can go and... People would totally do that.
01:56:52.000If this thing existed, where there was an Airbnb where you could be like the 70s, 80s or the 90s, I'd be like, dude, give me the 70s room right now.
01:58:26.000I was gonna say, okay, so if you drink Rip It in Colorado Springs, people will come up to you and be like, holy crap, I remember this from when I was deployed, because I guess they got them in bulk for the military people who were in Afghanistan and Iraq.
02:00:07.000So somebody somebody super chatted in reference to Ian talking about roller rollerblading and they said Tibbs Tim slides up hitting the backside Machio to unity flicks his feet and 540s out as his inlines clack on the ground.
02:00:37.000We just got the ground resurfaced, so more skateboarding is coming back.
02:00:41.000One of the things is that it was really hard to skateboard in the parking lot because it was never sealed, so it was really rough to ride on.
02:00:45.000But bikes and rollerblades aren't really a problem.
02:00:47.000But we're going to have a scooter guy come out.
02:00:49.000So we're going to get a scooter, and then we're going to have some scooter vids too.
02:00:53.000Yeah, I'm just, we have the skate parks, so I've been skateboarding for a couple decades.
02:00:57.000We got skateboards, bikes, rollerblades, we're gonna get scooters next.
02:01:52.000Jumping off a really high thing into a pit or an airbag, because I've done it several times.
02:01:57.000The first time you're, like, scared, and you're like, oh man, it's gonna be so exciting, and then you jump, and then it's like a split second, and you're just laying there like, oh.
02:02:04.000I rappelled down a building once for Fox and Friends.
02:02:07.000You can get it online and I dropped a bad word on television.
02:02:13.000Why were you rappelling down a building?
02:02:15.000It's a Santa rappel that they do every year in Connecticut and they asked me to do it and my husband is a firefighter.
02:02:22.000I said to him, I'm like, is this okay to do?
02:02:47.000And I was, you know, it was it was terrifying and I and they brought they were broadcasting live on Fox and Friends and I guess I forgot that I was on television.
02:02:56.000Well, you know, Judge Jeanine was the one who called me and she's like, I'm like, oh no!
02:03:03.000So I called my boss and I'm like, I think I might have said, you know, the F word.
02:03:49.000Yeah, yeah, and not a whole lot goes on when I'm working on the day, so it's just, we need to get production up to a certain level to where there's always some weird thing happening.
02:03:57.000If you have trampolines and stuff, there's always gonna be weird stuff happening.
02:04:17.000No, I mean they're farm chickens, you know, so I we went to a farm we got we got eight two of them didn't make it and So Vanessa is I forgot what the name of it is a Plymouth something?
02:05:18.000And then what we're going to do is, what I want to do is, Every time 50,000 Super Chats come in, have a machine automatically release some bugs.
02:09:55.000There's a little door you can pull up and allow the chickens to go into the farm area.
02:10:00.000So we have half the lawn is like a farm.
02:10:02.000So what you do is after you harvest all of the vegetables and everything, then you let the chickens go in and just do their business because they eat the bugs and they fertilize it.
02:10:11.000And then in the springtime, you let them back in again for about a week or two, two weeks, and they till the land and fertilize it.
02:10:18.000And then you can plant everything and it grows and it's better.
02:10:20.000And so you have this cycle of chickens and you know.
02:10:22.000If we let them out now, would they eat the seeds?
02:14:27.000And we do the show Monday through Friday live at 8 p.m.
