00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.600 Welcome. It is Verdict with Ted Cruz.
00:00:07.140 Ben Ferguson here with you.
00:00:08.580 Nice to have you guys.
00:00:09.760 And we have a lot of news to talk about.
00:00:11.540 The senator is on the road joining us
00:00:13.820 as he is traveling from the last bus stop in Missouri,
00:00:17.780 heading to another very important state.
00:00:20.440 Senator, I appreciate you joining us.
00:00:21.800 And for everybody that's an audio quality geek like me,
00:00:24.200 just know he's on the phone
00:00:25.300 because we're on the bus tour today.
00:00:27.440 Senator, how's it going so far?
00:00:30.000 Well, fantastic.
00:00:30.940 As you mentioned, we're on the bus.
00:00:32.300 We're headed down the freeway.
00:00:33.400 We're going from Missouri up to the state of Iowa.
00:00:37.100 After Iowa, we're headed to Ohio
00:00:39.340 and then Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina,
00:00:43.540 Tennessee, Georgia, Florida,
00:00:46.720 back up to Michigan, then to Wisconsin.
00:00:48.880 And we're ending in the great state of Texas.
00:00:51.180 You've been out there
00:00:52.400 and you've obviously seen the crowds.
00:00:54.500 And if you haven't been following the senator on social media,
00:00:56.960 you should look at the pictures.
00:00:58.200 I think the crowds that you've been seeing
00:01:00.820 are very indicative of what voter turnout could look like
00:01:03.860 in just a few weeks on the Republican side of things.
00:01:06.960 And while that's happening, Senator,
00:01:08.220 we're also noticing a very interesting new trend.
00:01:10.800 And it's one I think is concerning for all Americans.
00:01:14.440 That is major Democrats are refusing to debate
00:01:17.660 conservative candidates.
00:01:20.180 You and I were talking about this before the show.
00:01:23.260 So you're concerned that Democrats may stop debating Republicans
00:01:26.940 if this continues to be an effective strategy for them.
00:01:30.500 Yeah, that's right.
00:01:31.180 It's a really disturbing development.
00:01:33.060 I've been with two of the Republicans
00:01:34.660 who are facing it in the last few days.
00:01:36.880 I was in Arizona with Carrie Lake,
00:01:39.060 who's running for governor.
00:01:40.020 I think she's going to be elected,
00:01:41.260 the Republican governor there.
00:01:42.800 And her Democrat opponent, Katie Hobbs,
00:01:45.040 refuses to debate.
00:01:46.100 She said that there will be no gubernatorial debate
00:01:48.400 in the state of Arizona.
00:01:49.980 She won't do it.
00:01:51.360 Up in Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro,
00:01:53.880 the Democrat nominee for governor,
00:01:55.480 refuses to debate.
00:01:56.960 Nostriano, again, no debate for you.
00:01:59.400 He's not going to do it.
00:02:00.760 And I just left Missouri last night,
00:02:02.780 did a big rally with Eric Schmidt,
00:02:04.700 who was the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri.
00:02:08.000 His Democrat opponent, Trudy Bush Valentine,
00:02:10.880 a gazillionaire and heiress of the Bush beer fortune,
00:02:15.880 refuses to debate as well.
00:02:17.940 And Ben, what I think it is,
00:02:20.240 is they are following the Joe Biden basement strategy.
00:02:23.940 They saw that he basically hid in his basement
00:02:26.060 for two years and the media got him elected president.
00:02:29.940 And they're saying, wait a second,
00:02:31.620 this is a great approach because every day of the week,
00:02:35.000 the media carries our water.
00:02:36.400 They repeat our attack lines
00:02:37.740 and they protect our candidates.
00:02:39.320 The only time a candidate is ever held to account
00:02:42.360 is in a debate.
00:02:43.500 So if we refuse to debate,
00:02:45.480 we'll never be held to account.
00:02:47.180 And I got to say,
00:02:48.680 this is a really dangerous development.
00:02:50.940 I think in two years or four years,
00:02:53.080 you could see dozens or more
00:02:55.420 major Democrat candidates saying,
00:02:58.060 we will not debate.
00:02:59.440 And I got to admit,
00:03:01.440 I find it personally offensive.
00:03:03.480 I think it shows contempt for the voters.
00:03:06.820 I think it shows contempt
00:03:08.020 for the democratic process.
00:03:10.020 Listen, I've had debates
00:03:11.240 against opponents who were not
00:03:12.980 serious or strong or credible opponents,
00:03:15.520 but I think you owe the voters
00:03:17.300 the chance to see the candidate
00:03:19.800 to make a decision.
00:03:21.360 But this is yet another step
00:03:23.140 in the Democrats and the corporate media
00:03:25.980 getting in bed together
00:03:27.580 and being corrupted.
00:03:29.680 To be clear, it worked for,
00:03:31.660 you know, the current president, Joe Biden.
00:03:33.940 And it's something
00:03:34.860 that I'm sure woke up
00:03:37.120 a lot of Democratic strategies saying,
00:03:38.480 look, if we've got a candidate
00:03:39.520 that's not good on stage,
00:03:40.920 we've got a candidate
00:03:41.660 that can't defend the issues
00:03:42.900 and look at the issues now.
00:03:44.320 They're a mile long
00:03:45.140 for many of these campaigns.
00:03:46.820 Border security,
00:03:48.080 the economy,
00:03:49.240 inflation,
00:03:50.300 interest rates,
00:03:51.180 the list, unfortunately,
00:03:52.760 literally goes on and on.
00:03:54.440 They just say,
00:03:55.300 all right,
00:03:55.680 we'll buy the election
00:03:56.700 by buying ads
00:03:57.940 and we just won't debate
00:03:59.520 and hopefully people
00:04:01.080 will just believe us
00:04:02.140 and the media will give us cover
00:04:03.220 because the media center
00:04:04.240 would have never allowed
00:04:05.160 this to happen 10, 15, 20 years ago.
00:04:07.680 Well, and it's even more than that.
00:04:09.200 It's not just buying ads.
00:04:10.680 It's they know
00:04:11.920 that the media's news coverage
00:04:13.740 24 hours a day
00:04:15.280 will be an ad.
00:04:17.160 I mean,
00:04:17.560 everything they cover
00:04:19.400 will be trying to advance
00:04:21.200 the Democrat message,
00:04:24.120 trying to elect the Democrats.
00:04:26.500 And right now,
00:04:27.660 the corporate media
00:04:28.420 is the biggest super PAC
00:04:30.280 in America
00:04:30.940 for the Democrats.
00:04:33.180 On the other hand,
00:04:34.200 and it's not even
00:04:35.000 if your candidate
00:04:35.680 is not that good at debates,
00:04:36.860 even if they are.
00:04:37.840 Look,
00:04:38.040 Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania,
00:04:39.460 one of the reasons
00:04:40.740 he won't debate
00:04:41.580 is the polls have him
00:04:42.760 leading by a comfortable margin.
00:04:45.240 And so I'm sure
00:04:45.960 their attitude is,
00:04:46.940 hey,
00:04:47.140 we're going to win
00:04:47.700 if we don't do anything,
00:04:48.540 so why screw it up?
00:04:50.600 It's an arrogance.
00:04:51.920 It's I'm entitled
00:04:53.140 to be elected
00:04:53.940 and the voters
00:04:54.900 are too stupid.
00:04:56.300 They don't even deserve
00:04:57.340 to see a hard question
00:04:59.100 get asked of me.
00:05:00.520 You know,
00:05:00.940 the flip side
00:05:01.620 and part of the reason
00:05:02.320 Democrats do this,
00:05:03.480 so the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
00:05:05.860 we just had a debate
00:05:07.120 between
00:05:08.320 Herschel Walker
00:05:10.200 and Raphael Warnock.
00:05:11.480 The front page
00:05:12.680 of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
00:05:14.120 says,
00:05:15.240 quote,
00:05:16.020 Herschel Walker's
00:05:16.880 debate performance
00:05:17.740 scores points
00:05:18.520 for his campaign.
00:05:20.100 Well,
00:05:20.360 Raphael Warnock's
00:05:21.140 probably wondering,
00:05:21.860 why did I give
00:05:22.440 Herschel Walker
00:05:23.040 a platform
00:05:23.640 when every other day
00:05:25.580 the corporate media hacks
00:05:27.200 just attack
00:05:27.940 Herschel Walker
00:05:28.600 all day long
00:05:29.460 and suddenly
00:05:30.740 Warnock
00:05:31.660 had to answer
00:05:32.340 difficult questions,
00:05:33.340 which he hasn't had
00:05:34.160 to answer
00:05:34.720 any day of the year
00:05:36.560 when the press
00:05:37.860 refuses to do
00:05:39.540 the job of a journalist,
00:05:40.780 refuses to ask
00:05:41.740 Democrats
00:05:42.680 difficult questions
00:05:44.140 or really any questions,
00:05:45.960 that it's only
00:05:46.820 during a debate
00:05:47.840 that a Democrat
00:05:48.860 is forced to defend
00:05:49.940 his or her record
00:05:50.760 or answer a hard question.
00:05:52.900 And you mentioned
00:05:53.680 previously
00:05:54.320 that the media
00:05:55.220 would have
00:05:55.680 lost their minds
00:05:57.020 because, look,
00:05:57.940 journalists
00:05:58.640 make a lot of money,
00:05:59.740 media companies
00:06:00.160 make a lot of money
00:06:00.880 on these political debates.
00:06:01.980 they are so complicit
00:06:04.340 that they're willing
00:06:05.780 to give up
00:06:06.460 millions of dollars
00:06:07.880 to make sure
00:06:08.980 Democrats win
00:06:09.940 because the media
00:06:10.780 in Arizona
00:06:11.800 and Missouri
00:06:12.540 and Pennsylvania
00:06:13.220 ought to be going nuts
00:06:14.600 every single day
00:06:16.000 pounding these candidates.
00:06:18.380 Look, it's so bad
00:06:19.740 that there was a reporter
00:06:21.200 from Project Veritas
00:06:22.320 who was trying
00:06:23.020 to get Katie Hobbs
00:06:24.020 to answer a question.
00:06:25.180 She literally ran away
00:06:26.520 and hid in the bathroom
00:06:27.520 rather than answer
00:06:28.480 a reporter's question
00:06:29.580 because Democrats
00:06:31.000 believe that
00:06:31.960 they're entitled
00:06:32.700 never to have
00:06:33.980 to answer
00:06:34.440 a hard question.
00:06:35.760 It's really interesting,
00:06:36.880 Senator,
00:06:37.340 where we are
00:06:38.520 as a country
00:06:39.260 and I'm talking
00:06:39.780 about on transparency
00:06:40.900 and I'll move
00:06:42.400 from Democrats
00:06:43.720 refusing to debate
00:06:44.720 to the other side
00:06:46.260 of the coin
00:06:46.740 which is Republicans
00:06:47.880 are willing
00:06:48.520 to have a grand debate.
00:06:50.480 You do college campuses,
00:06:52.180 you do a lot
00:06:52.820 of public speaking events
00:06:54.140 and now what we see
00:06:55.440 is the left
00:06:55.860 is trying to cancel us.
00:06:57.080 A perfect example
00:06:57.960 of this is Dr. Phil
00:07:00.240 had an interesting
00:07:01.020 conversation
00:07:01.740 with Tomi Lauren
00:07:02.540 who is over
00:07:03.460 at Fox News Channel
00:07:04.500 about cancel culture
00:07:06.080 and where Republicans
00:07:07.460 show up
00:07:07.960 they don't want
00:07:08.560 to allow you to speak
00:07:09.180 but when Republicans
00:07:10.460 demand Democrats speak
00:07:11.840 they don't want
00:07:12.400 to do it
00:07:13.000 and I want you
00:07:13.920 to hear part of this
00:07:14.980 that was put out
00:07:16.280 about her being canceled.
00:07:17.620 Take a listen.
00:07:18.880 I came here to speak
00:07:20.300 in Albuquerque
00:07:21.040 University of New Mexico.
00:07:22.700 I know that there
00:07:23.160 was a protest planned.
00:07:25.040 You know,
00:07:25.280 usually when I speak
00:07:26.140 there's protests planned
00:07:27.280 and usually it's small,
00:07:29.020 it's manageable,
00:07:29.940 just some rowdy people,
00:07:31.500 disgruntled liberals,
00:07:32.620 you know,
00:07:32.820 the standard.
00:07:33.540 That's not what
00:07:34.100 happened tonight.
00:07:37.160 It turned violent.
00:07:39.360 They started pushing
00:07:40.520 the officers
00:07:41.180 that were guarding
00:07:41.840 the door,
00:07:42.700 trying to bust in the door.
00:07:44.120 I was escorted away
00:07:45.480 for my safety
00:07:46.200 by officers.
00:07:47.460 The emergency unit
00:07:48.400 had to be called in
00:07:49.340 because that's how bad
00:07:50.260 it got.
00:07:51.100 We were barricaded
00:07:51.980 in the kitchen
00:07:52.780 for probably about
00:07:54.060 a half an hour
00:07:54.620 to 45 minutes.
00:07:55.640 I mean,
00:07:57.460 you hear that
00:07:58.100 and you hear Tomy
00:07:59.060 describe this
00:07:59.680 and the scary thing
00:08:00.500 is now this is normal.
00:08:02.480 You talk to many
00:08:03.560 college campus speakers,
00:08:05.260 you do this,
00:08:06.480 the security apparatus
00:08:07.780 has changed
00:08:08.360 for all conservatives
00:08:09.280 that go on campuses
00:08:10.240 and so while we're saying
00:08:12.120 let's have a grand debate,
00:08:13.580 they're saying
00:08:14.160 not only do we not
00:08:14.840 want to debate you,
00:08:15.900 we don't even want
00:08:16.600 to allow you to speak.
00:08:18.060 Yeah,
00:08:18.420 so when Democrat candidates
00:08:20.200 are skipping debates
00:08:21.380 and refusing to debate,
00:08:22.560 they're trying to silence
00:08:23.620 any public discourse,
00:08:24.840 they're trying to silence
00:08:25.900 their ideas being questioned.
00:08:28.080 What you just played there,
00:08:29.460 what happened to Tommy Lauren
00:08:31.080 on the University of Mexico
00:08:32.380 is a step even further,
00:08:34.620 which is many on the left
00:08:35.800 are willing to use violence
00:08:37.220 to stop an opposing view.
00:08:40.340 They're willing to threaten violence,
00:08:42.120 they're willing to harass,
00:08:43.960 they're willing to intimidate
00:08:45.060 the fact that a young woman
00:08:47.120 had to hide,
00:08:48.520 and it was law enforcement
00:08:49.800 that told her to hide
00:08:50.820 for her safety
00:08:51.700 for 45 minutes
00:08:52.840 because violent leftists
00:08:54.900 were threatening
00:08:55.640 to physically injure her.
00:08:58.180 I mean,
00:08:58.560 that is,
00:08:59.140 it's completely wrong.
00:09:00.840 It happens
00:09:01.700 on college campuses
00:09:03.060 far too often.
00:09:04.300 It happened,
00:09:04.800 by the way,
00:09:05.820 a number of months ago
00:09:07.200 at Yale Law School
00:09:08.340 where a lawyer
00:09:09.620 for the Alliance
00:09:10.580 Defending Freedom
00:09:11.260 who had won
00:09:11.880 a major Supreme Court case
00:09:13.280 on religious liberty
00:09:14.120 in front of the U.S. Supreme Court,
00:09:15.840 she was there speaking
00:09:16.920 and hundreds of angry leftists
00:09:18.720 at Yale
00:09:19.160 began screaming
00:09:20.280 and shut the event down.
00:09:22.300 And, of course,
00:09:23.760 the Yale Law School campus
00:09:25.440 did nothing to punish,
00:09:27.820 to reprimand those students.
00:09:29.440 I will say,
00:09:30.160 by the way,
00:09:30.620 as an aside,
00:09:31.700 a very interesting development
00:09:33.040 for that,
00:09:33.620 a good friend of mine
00:09:34.680 is a federal judge
00:09:35.780 of the Fifth Circuit,
00:09:36.480 Judge Jim Ho,
00:09:37.500 and he gave a long speech
00:09:40.200 in which he said
00:09:41.100 given Yale Law School's
00:09:43.220 willingness to tolerate
00:09:45.240 cancel culture
00:09:46.140 and to tolerate
00:09:47.140 violence
00:09:48.460 shutting down
00:09:49.700 free speech,
00:09:51.160 from this point forward
00:09:52.740 he is not going
00:09:53.640 to hire law clerks
00:09:55.000 who go to Yale Law School.
00:09:57.040 And his announcements
00:09:58.640 caused a lot of
00:09:59.860 the blue checkmark lefties
00:10:01.660 to lose their mind
00:10:02.520 and get very,
00:10:03.120 very upset.
00:10:04.280 Judge Ho
00:10:04.680 is a very prestigious judge.
00:10:05.860 He's a phenomenal judge
00:10:06.900 and not being able
00:10:07.540 to clerk for him
00:10:08.720 is a big deal
00:10:09.960 for young aspiring lawyers.
00:10:11.840 Since then,
00:10:13.180 more than a dozen
00:10:14.220 other federal judges
00:10:15.420 have followed suit
00:10:16.320 and said,
00:10:17.480 we're not going
00:10:18.120 to hire clerks
00:10:18.840 from Yale also.
00:10:19.880 And so I'm glad
00:10:20.380 to see people
00:10:21.020 are pushing back
00:10:22.320 against this
00:10:24.500 use of violence
00:10:26.520 to censor
00:10:27.980 and silence
00:10:28.800 views the left
00:10:29.760 doesn't like.
00:10:30.360 It's getting dangerous
00:10:32.380 and you look
00:10:33.060 at even parents now
00:10:34.360 we've started
00:10:35.160 to see a very clear trend
00:10:36.780 it's now normal
00:10:37.980 for the FBI
00:10:39.500 and the DOJ
00:10:40.520 to be weaponized
00:10:42.020 to attack people
00:10:43.180 that they don't agree with
00:10:44.580 aka conservatives.
00:10:46.320 We saw this start
00:10:47.700 you and I had
00:10:48.220 this discussion
00:10:48.740 the other day
00:10:49.160 about under
00:10:49.600 the Obama administration
00:10:50.560 but now it's gone
00:10:51.560 to the point
00:10:52.020 of just total
00:10:52.860 rogue nation
00:10:54.180 I would describe it
00:10:55.240 where anything
00:10:56.140 you don't like
00:10:56.840 or anybody
00:10:57.220 you don't like
00:10:58.280 you call them
00:10:58.840 a domestic terrorist
00:10:59.680 and it's not just
00:11:00.400 people saying it
00:11:01.240 it's the actual
00:11:01.880 government saying it
00:11:03.220 parents showed up
00:11:04.460 to talk about
00:11:05.060 their kids
00:11:05.560 what they're being
00:11:06.020 taught in schools
00:11:06.720 they were labeled
00:11:07.760 domestic terrorists
00:11:08.620 the same as
00:11:09.040 al-qaeda or ISIS
00:11:10.220 and you just came out
00:11:11.980 and this is a new
00:11:12.960 group of people
00:11:13.520 they're treating
00:11:13.940 like they're terrorists
00:11:14.960 the AMA
00:11:16.160 you've slammed
00:11:17.600 the AMA's call
00:11:19.300 to prosecute people
00:11:21.200 exposing radical
00:11:23.280 transgender surgery
00:11:24.540 providers
00:11:25.160 and demands
00:11:26.240 to know
00:11:27.000 and thank you
00:11:28.040 for doing this
00:11:28.740 that the DOJ
00:11:29.420 actually prompted
00:11:30.540 this letter
00:11:31.280 break down
00:11:32.400 this story
00:11:33.000 of how now
00:11:33.680 they're saying
00:11:34.220 we'll just take
00:11:34.860 kids away
00:11:35.320 from parents
00:11:36.060 well it's yet
00:11:37.760 another escalation
00:11:39.420 of violence
00:11:40.080 so a second ago
00:11:40.920 we were talking
00:11:41.580 about the use
00:11:42.380 of violence
00:11:42.920 from just
00:11:43.500 individual actors
00:11:44.480 and institutions
00:11:45.260 turning a blind eye
00:11:46.520 and allowing threats
00:11:47.780 of violence
00:11:48.220 to be carried out
00:11:49.080 there's a further
00:11:49.700 escalation of violence
00:11:50.920 which is the use
00:11:52.080 of state violence
00:11:52.900 the use of state
00:11:53.740 power to threaten
00:11:55.100 to criminally prosecute
00:11:56.360 and incarcerate
00:11:57.280 people
00:11:57.640 under basic principles
00:11:59.480 of our constitution
00:12:00.820 the state
00:12:01.800 the government
00:12:02.380 has a monopoly
00:12:03.060 on violence
00:12:03.840 but it should be used
00:12:05.480 only in rare circumstances
00:12:07.180 in other words
00:12:07.840 to physically prevent
00:12:08.780 someone from committing
00:12:10.180 a crime
00:12:11.240 or to punish them
00:12:12.100 from committing
00:12:12.640 a crime
00:12:13.720 well
00:12:14.760 what has happened
00:12:16.360 under Barack Obama
00:12:18.440 and what has
00:12:18.960 metastasized even worse
00:12:20.560 under Joe Biden
00:12:21.560 is the law enforcement agencies
00:12:24.100 DOJ
00:12:24.800 FBI
00:12:25.340 the intelligence agencies
00:12:26.760 have been weaponized
00:12:28.060 it is now a tool
00:12:29.320 that they use
00:12:30.840 to go after their enemies
00:12:32.060 and to threaten
00:12:33.500 criminal consequences
00:12:34.580 and so
00:12:35.100 as you noted
00:12:36.100 we had a number
00:12:37.860 of months ago
00:12:38.600 the National Association
00:12:39.580 of School Boards
00:12:40.360 wrote a letter
00:12:40.960 to President Biden
00:12:41.880 saying will you please
00:12:43.200 target moms and dads
00:12:44.280 who are going to school boards
00:12:45.300 and speaking out
00:12:46.140 because they're unhappy
00:12:47.300 about critical race theory
00:12:48.540 they're unhappy
00:12:49.240 about radical
00:12:50.260 transgender ideology
00:12:51.540 they're unhappy about
00:12:52.900 as was the case
00:12:54.020 in Loudoun County
00:12:54.960 a little girl
00:12:56.820 a 14 year old girl
00:12:58.100 who was sexually assaulted
00:12:59.180 in the bathroom
00:12:59.920 by a boy
00:13:00.620 wearing a skirt
00:13:01.460 and the school board
00:13:02.700 then covered it up
00:13:03.620 insisted it hadn't happened
00:13:04.880 and actually had the father
00:13:06.240 of the little girl
00:13:07.580 arrested
00:13:08.180 when he went to the school board meeting
00:13:09.620 expressing his understandable
00:13:11.200 deep displeasure
00:13:12.840 well
00:13:13.680 Merrick Garland
00:13:14.840 the Attorney General
00:13:15.800 five days later
00:13:16.980 immediately wrote a memo
00:13:18.080 to the FBI
00:13:18.860 directing them
00:13:19.860 target parents
00:13:21.320 the National Association
00:13:22.540 of School Board
00:13:23.140 had asked that
00:13:23.660 that they be targeted
00:13:24.500 under the Patriot Act
00:13:26.080 as domestic terrorists
00:13:27.280 and the Biden DOJ
00:13:29.040 saluted and said
00:13:29.900 sir yes sir
00:13:30.720 and they are doing it
00:13:31.980 right now
00:13:32.420 their parents across the country
00:13:33.860 that the FBI
00:13:34.800 is interviewing
00:13:35.660 is going after
00:13:36.460 because they've exercised
00:13:37.440 their First Amendment rights
00:13:38.540 well
00:13:39.340 what's happened next
00:13:40.380 the American Medical Association
00:13:42.340 decided to get in
00:13:43.440 on the game
00:13:43.980 and the leftists
00:13:45.900 who control the AMA
00:13:47.100 are unhappy
00:13:48.360 that a handful
00:13:49.340 of intrepid reporters
00:13:50.540 have begun
00:13:51.680 reporting
00:13:52.500 on these hospitals
00:13:53.860 that are making
00:13:54.560 big business
00:13:55.600 millions
00:13:56.680 and up to billions
00:13:58.940 of dollars
00:13:59.860 performing
00:14:01.580 genital mutilations
00:14:02.940 performing
00:14:03.700 surgeries
00:14:05.860 where they sterilize
00:14:07.440 children
00:14:08.060 little girls
00:14:09.120 little boys
00:14:09.840 they cut off
00:14:10.580 their genitals
00:14:11.180 they remove
00:14:11.800 their uterus
00:14:12.640 they make it
00:14:13.660 so they cannot
00:14:14.320 have children
00:14:15.120 and it is a
00:14:16.400 money-making endeavor
00:14:17.540 and the
00:14:18.480 corporate institution
00:14:19.960 of medicine
00:14:20.600 is embarrassed
00:14:22.260 and mad
00:14:22.940 that anyone
00:14:23.360 caught them at it
00:14:24.260 and so the AMA
00:14:25.540 asked DOJ
00:14:26.440 did they ask them
00:14:27.840 hey go after people
00:14:28.920 that are
00:14:29.280 sterilizing children
00:14:32.040 who don't have
00:14:33.280 the ability to consent
00:14:34.440 and are not mature
00:14:35.180 enough to make
00:14:35.760 those kind of life
00:14:36.500 decisions
00:14:36.880 no
00:14:37.280 they're asking DOJ
00:14:38.900 prosecute the journalists
00:14:40.140 prosecute people
00:14:41.240 who are exposing
00:14:42.300 the truth
00:14:42.940 and so I joined
00:14:44.800 a week ago
00:14:45.540 I brought together
00:14:46.520 five senators
00:14:47.360 and writing a letter
00:14:48.100 to DOJ
00:14:48.940 telling Merrick Garland
00:14:50.540 do not do this
00:14:51.440 this would be an abuse
00:14:52.360 of power
00:14:52.900 and asking DOJ
00:14:54.520 to give us
00:14:55.840 every communication
00:14:56.820 they've had
00:14:57.580 with the AMA
00:14:58.400 and it's yet another
00:14:59.620 example of using
00:15:01.040 government power
00:15:02.080 to silence
00:15:03.020 those who disagree
00:15:03.980 with you
00:15:04.480 and in this instance
00:15:05.060 it's even worse
00:15:05.960 because the corporate
00:15:07.580 media won't do
00:15:08.700 its job
00:15:09.400 the left
00:15:10.500 is trying to
00:15:11.560 literally put in jail
00:15:13.060 anyone who will
00:15:14.980 do the job
00:15:15.700 of journalism
00:15:16.340 and report
00:15:17.200 on the horrific
00:15:18.100 activities
00:15:18.940 that are being
00:15:20.620 carried out
00:15:21.340 on children
00:15:22.060 and they're barbaric
00:15:24.320 and the media
00:15:26.600 supports it all
00:15:27.700 and I suspect
00:15:28.460 the White House
00:15:29.240 and DOJ
00:15:29.720 does as well
00:15:30.340 Canadian women
00:15:31.800 are looking for more
00:15:32.860 more out of themselves
00:15:33.940 their businesses
00:15:34.780 their elected leaders
00:15:35.900 and the world around them
00:15:37.120 and that's why
00:15:37.760 we're thrilled
00:15:38.260 to introduce
00:15:38.920 the Honest Talk Podcast
00:15:40.400 I'm Jennifer Stewart
00:15:41.960 and I'm Catherine Clark
00:15:43.180 and in this podcast
00:15:44.240 we interview Canada's
00:15:45.560 most inspiring women

00:15:47.400 artists
00:15:48.300 athletes
00:15:48.980 politicians
00:15:49.600 and newsmakers
00:15:50.480 all at different stages
00:15:51.800 of their journey
00:15:52.640 so if you're looking
00:15:53.960 to connect
00:15:54.500 then we hope
00:15:55.180 you'll join us
00:15:55.960 listen to the Honest Talk Podcast
00:15:57.400 on iHeart Radio
00:15:58.480 or wherever you listen
00:15:59.520 to your podcasts
00:16:00.260 yeah that brings me
00:16:02.760 to another part
00:16:03.880 of this story
00:16:04.540 a Virginia Democrat
00:16:06.360 senator has decided
00:16:07.640 to introduce
00:16:08.220 legislation
00:16:09.120 that would allow
00:16:10.600 parents who
00:16:11.620 don't affirm
00:16:13.140 their child's
00:16:13.980 gender identity
00:16:14.420 to actually be
00:16:15.580 criminally prosecuted
00:16:17.280 the local news media
00:16:18.980 put out this story
00:16:20.140 I'm going to play it
00:16:20.800 for everybody
00:16:21.320 and then I want to
00:16:21.840 get your reaction
00:16:22.680 a delegate is
00:16:23.980 introducing a new bill
00:16:25.340 centered around parents
00:16:26.900 and how they handle
00:16:28.360 their child's
00:16:29.020 sexual orientation
00:16:29.900 and gender identity
00:16:31.120 7 News reporter
00:16:31.980 Nick Minock
00:16:32.560 explains why
00:16:33.300 this is controversial
00:16:34.300 right now
00:16:35.740 parents' rights
00:16:36.460 and LGBTQ
00:16:37.140 protections
00:16:37.960 are a big focus
00:16:39.000 in Virginia
00:16:39.660 thousands of students
00:16:41.040 in Virginia
00:16:41.480 have walked out
00:16:42.180 of class
00:16:42.660 protesting
00:16:43.300 Governor Glenn
00:16:43.900 Youngkin's
00:16:44.300 newly proposed
00:16:45.020 model policies
00:16:45.960 on the treatment
00:16:47.100 of transgender
00:16:47.780 students at school
00:16:49.000 trans rights
00:16:49.960 are human rights
00:16:50.980 and Governor
00:16:51.560 Youngkin argues
00:16:52.440 schools shouldn't
00:16:53.360 keep parents
00:16:53.940 in the dark
00:16:54.580 about their child's
00:16:55.440 sexual orientation
00:16:56.440 and gender identity
00:16:58.040 these same progressives
00:17:00.280 in Fairfax County
00:17:01.260 actually believe
00:17:03.360 that they should
00:17:03.980 lock parents
00:17:05.240 out of
00:17:07.060 their children's
00:17:08.100 lives
00:17:08.600 they think
00:17:10.720 that parents
00:17:11.440 have no right
00:17:12.680 to know
00:17:13.220 what your child
00:17:14.240 is discussing
00:17:14.980 with their teacher
00:17:16.120 or their counselor
00:17:17.540 Democratic Virginia
00:17:18.840 delegate
00:17:19.260 Elizabeth Guzman
00:17:20.180 is a social worker
00:17:21.280 and she's planning
00:17:22.260 on reintroducing
00:17:23.200 a bill in Richmond
00:17:23.980 that she says
00:17:24.940 would help protect
00:17:26.000 LGBTQ children
00:17:27.260 from their parents
00:17:28.540 and guardians
00:17:29.180 who may not be
00:17:30.000 affirming
00:17:30.620 of their child's
00:17:32.000 sexual orientation
00:17:32.980 and gender identity
00:17:34.020 this is how
00:17:34.860 we're gonna push back
00:17:35.940 her bill
00:17:36.660 would expand
00:17:37.240 the state's
00:17:37.760 definition of
00:17:38.540 child abuse
00:17:39.320 and neglect
00:17:40.080 to include parents
00:17:41.160 who do not affirm
00:17:42.500 their child's
00:17:43.200 gender identity
00:17:43.920 or sexual orientation
00:17:45.540 there's
00:17:46.060 I mean I'm just
00:17:47.380 gonna stop it there
00:17:48.360 Senator
00:17:48.720 you hear this
00:17:50.120 delegate say this
00:17:51.520 if you don't agree
00:17:53.280 with what your child
00:17:54.360 tells you
00:17:54.880 at the age of
00:17:55.320 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
00:17:58.080 anywhere in there
00:17:59.560 about their
00:18:00.260 sexual orientation
00:18:01.240 or gender identity
00:18:02.120 then you could be
00:18:03.420 charged criminally
00:18:04.540 with child abuse
00:18:05.840 it is
00:18:08.800 one of the most
00:18:10.500 terrifying news stories
00:18:12.180 I have ever read
00:18:13.260 and this is where
00:18:14.000 the modern left is
00:18:15.100 so what they are saying
00:18:17.300 so let me stop
00:18:18.500 and say
00:18:18.880 that the words
00:18:19.780 gender affirming
00:18:21.140 really deserve
00:18:22.720 to be in the
00:18:23.500 hall of fame
00:18:24.560 for
00:18:25.600 absurd
00:18:27.160 euphemisms
00:18:28.160 and by the way
00:18:28.900 gender affirming
00:18:29.740 every corporate
00:18:30.860 media hack
00:18:31.900 uses gender
00:18:32.960 affirming
00:18:33.440 gender affirming
00:18:34.180 let's be clear
00:18:35.020 what they mean
00:18:36.700 is not saying
00:18:37.700 to your kid
00:18:38.440 oh you're so awesome
00:18:39.720 I love you kiddo
00:18:40.660 no no
00:18:41.240 what they mean
00:18:41.820 by gender
00:18:42.380 affirming care
00:18:43.280 is look Ben
00:18:44.580 you're the father
00:18:45.320 of sons
00:18:46.120 if your son
00:18:47.560 comes to you
00:18:48.300 and says daddy
00:18:49.100 I feel like a girl
00:18:51.640 what they mean
00:18:52.480 by gender affirming
00:18:53.420 care
00:18:53.740 is to take it
00:18:54.420 to some hospital
00:18:55.240 that will cut
00:18:56.280 his penis off
00:18:57.160 and make it
00:18:58.560 so you can never
00:18:59.460 have grandkids
00:19:00.220 from him
00:19:00.600 because they will
00:19:01.120 sterilize him
00:19:02.060 and you know what
00:19:03.300 your child
00:19:05.120 and no child
00:19:06.260 has the maturity
00:19:07.840 to make a decision
00:19:09.260 like that
00:19:10.160 when they are a minor
00:19:11.900 a decision
00:19:12.680 that is life altering
00:19:14.020 once you cut it off
00:19:15.000 you don't get it back
00:19:16.180 it is permanent
00:19:17.260 it is gone
00:19:18.180 and if an adult
00:19:19.720 wants to do that
00:19:20.660 adults can make decisions
00:19:22.060 that affect the rest
00:19:22.980 of their life
00:19:23.540 and that's part
00:19:24.120 of the consequence
00:19:24.840 of adulthood
00:19:25.860 but kids
00:19:26.720 kids don't have
00:19:28.220 that right or ability
00:19:29.440 and what that
00:19:31.840 I'm sorry
00:19:33.240 I have to use
00:19:33.920 the word
00:19:34.340 lunatic
00:19:34.880 democrat
00:19:35.520 has proposed
00:19:36.360 in Virginia
00:19:37.040 is that if your son
00:19:38.880 says that to you Ben
00:19:40.060 and you have the misfortune
00:19:41.160 of living in Virginia
00:19:42.160 that they will come
00:19:44.180 and arrest you Ben
00:19:45.380 and charge you
00:19:46.900 with a felony
00:19:47.600 she said a little bit
00:19:48.480 later in that interview
00:19:49.340 it would be a felony
00:19:50.660 and lock you up
00:19:52.260 in jail
00:19:52.920 because you refused
00:19:55.440 to remove
00:19:56.960 your child's genitals
00:19:58.720 that is
00:19:59.800 look
00:20:01.560 you and I have used
00:20:03.280 the phrase
00:20:03.780 cultural Marxism
00:20:05.080 and I recognize
00:20:06.280 to some people
00:20:07.140 that that might
00:20:07.880 seem harsh
00:20:09.260 that might seem
00:20:10.080 extreme
00:20:10.640 but when you have
00:20:12.600 democrats
00:20:13.280 literally proposing
00:20:14.580 we are going
00:20:15.880 to lock
00:20:16.460 moms and dads
00:20:17.440 in jail
00:20:18.300 unless
00:20:19.580 they are willing
00:20:20.840 to permanently
00:20:21.820 sterilize
00:20:22.760 and mutilate
00:20:23.400 mutilate their children
00:20:24.600 we have really
00:20:26.780 gone over the edge
00:20:27.880 and
00:20:28.100 that democrat
00:20:30.080 I'll tell you
00:20:30.880 I've watched
00:20:31.440 the video
00:20:31.960 of that TV news interview
00:20:33.180 she's quite proud
00:20:34.820 of herself
00:20:35.260 saying this
00:20:36.020 she believes
00:20:36.700 it is a wonderful
00:20:37.640 thing
00:20:38.140 that if you
00:20:40.320 won't do it
00:20:41.140 you should be
00:20:42.360 charged with
00:20:42.840 child abuse
00:20:43.480 prosecuted with
00:20:44.320 a felony
00:20:44.720 and serve
00:20:45.560 a long
00:20:46.340 prison sentence
00:20:47.320 well and
00:20:47.840 let's go down
00:20:48.740 that road
00:20:49.360 what this also
00:20:50.400 is about
00:20:50.880 Senator
00:20:51.240 is about
00:20:51.840 then taking
00:20:53.080 your children
00:20:53.640 away from you
00:20:54.740 putting them
00:20:55.900 in foster care
00:20:57.080 that is obviously
00:20:57.900 going to have to be
00:20:58.700 by their definition
00:20:59.660 of what breaking
00:21:00.260 the law is
00:21:01.100 would have to be
00:21:02.280 someone that is
00:21:02.900 in favor of
00:21:04.260 gender affirming
00:21:05.640 surgeries
00:21:06.260 right
00:21:06.640 of changing
00:21:07.840 someone's gender
00:21:08.800 because if you're
00:21:09.540 a traditional family
00:21:10.520 at that point
00:21:11.140 as a foster family
00:21:12.180 I guess technically
00:21:13.320 you could be
00:21:13.960 charged with a crime
00:21:14.620 if you didn't go
00:21:15.440 down that road
00:21:16.000 with the kid
00:21:16.460 as well
00:21:16.980 so it's
00:21:18.160 it's not just
00:21:19.340 about putting
00:21:20.080 the parent in jail
00:21:20.940 it's about the
00:21:22.080 ultimate victory
00:21:23.180 for them
00:21:23.760 of if you're in jail
00:21:25.180 and we've charged
00:21:26.060 you with child abuse
00:21:26.960 then by default
00:21:28.320 child protective services
00:21:29.580 would come in
00:21:30.360 and take your child
00:21:31.400 away from you
00:21:32.160 and put them
00:21:33.040 with a family
00:21:33.660 that will be
00:21:34.180 advocating for
00:21:35.360 this lifestyle change
00:21:36.660 yeah you're exactly
00:21:38.260 right
00:21:38.560 now let me be clear
00:21:39.320 this bill has not
00:21:40.300 passed in virginia
00:21:41.560 yet but it was
00:21:42.260 proposed by an
00:21:43.940 elected democrat
00:21:45.060 representative
00:21:45.720 she introduced
00:21:46.560 the bill
00:21:47.080 and and virginia
00:21:48.460 has been ground
00:21:49.100 zero for a lot
00:21:50.040 of these battles
00:21:50.900 because if you
00:21:52.140 remember back
00:21:52.700 the gubernatorial
00:21:53.520 race when glenn
00:21:54.280 youngkin was running
00:21:55.100 i endorsed glenn
00:21:56.660 early on he's been
00:21:57.540 a friend of mine
00:21:58.080 a long time
00:21:58.800 he and i
00:21:59.480 barnstormed
00:22:00.760 the state of virginia
00:22:02.000 uh for two
00:22:02.900 entire days
00:22:03.600 right before election
00:22:04.400 day
00:22:04.720 uh and a big part
00:22:07.040 of why he won
00:22:07.980 is is that parents
00:22:09.280 got fed up
00:22:10.100 in that election
00:22:10.820 terry mccullough
00:22:11.480 the democrat
00:22:12.080 in the debate
00:22:13.460 and by the way
00:22:14.200 note he had a debate
00:22:15.200 terry mccullough in
00:22:16.020 hindsight probably
00:22:16.700 wishes he didn't
00:22:18.000 have a debate
00:22:18.580 and followed the
00:22:19.200 joe biden
00:22:19.700 hide the basement
00:22:20.340 strategy
00:22:20.920 because in the
00:22:22.140 debate terry
00:22:22.920 mccullough said
00:22:23.680 parents have no
00:22:24.840 business telling
00:22:25.680 schools what's
00:22:26.820 what their children
00:22:27.640 are being taught
00:22:28.460 and a whole bunch
00:22:29.960 of mama bears
00:22:30.740 a whole bunch
00:22:31.400 of virginia
00:22:32.400 moms got
00:22:33.440 pissed off
00:22:34.360 and they were
00:22:35.180 moms who had
00:22:35.840 voted for joe
00:22:36.580 biden who turned
00:22:37.340 around and voted
00:22:38.100 for a republican
00:22:38.840 glenn youngkin
00:22:39.640 and flipped the
00:22:40.760 state
00:22:41.140 this is the next
00:22:42.820 step of where
00:22:43.820 the radicals want
00:22:44.880 to go
00:22:45.320 they believe
00:22:46.160 what terry
00:22:47.300 mccullough said
00:22:48.040 which is your
00:22:48.560 children are not
00:22:49.440 yours
00:22:49.920 they're theirs
00:22:51.140 they have the
00:22:52.200 power to control
00:22:53.500 what is taught
00:22:54.120 to your children
00:22:54.860 and now even
00:22:56.440 what permanent
00:22:57.620 life altering
00:22:58.800 medical treatments
00:23:00.560 and mutilations
00:23:01.560 are done to
00:23:02.460 your children
00:23:03.100 even against
00:23:04.400 your wishes
00:23:05.080 as a mom
00:23:05.740 or dad
00:23:06.200 let's look at
00:23:08.080 another crazy
00:23:09.100 story that
00:23:10.740 has come out
00:23:11.540 there are two
00:23:12.400 former leaders
00:23:13.560 in the mainstream
00:23:14.300 media center
00:23:15.380 uh of x cnn
00:23:17.140 chief boss
00:23:18.380 jeff zucker
00:23:18.980 and the x
00:23:20.180 msnbc chief
00:23:21.380 phil griffin
00:23:22.020 who have both
00:23:23.280 come out
00:23:23.860 over the weekend
00:23:24.780 defended
00:23:26.220 ignoring the
00:23:27.860 hunter biden
00:23:28.700 story
00:23:29.180 not reporting
00:23:29.980 on both
00:23:30.340 their networks
00:23:30.860 refused to
00:23:31.520 touch it
00:23:31.900 refused to
00:23:32.380 report on it
00:23:32.860 when it broke
00:23:33.400 even when they
00:23:34.460 had people
00:23:35.040 coming to them
00:23:35.600 telling them
00:23:36.000 it was a
00:23:36.720 legitimate news
00:23:37.540 story
00:23:37.960 uh they said
00:23:39.420 during this
00:23:40.080 uh the quote
00:23:40.900 unconvention
00:23:41.860 it's a media
00:23:42.500 convention thing
00:23:43.480 that and while
00:23:44.920 they were speaking
00:23:45.660 on a panel
00:23:46.260 together
00:23:46.660 they both
00:23:47.640 said
00:23:48.620 look
00:23:49.420 cnn
00:23:50.380 zucker said
00:23:51.080 claimed they
00:23:51.580 researched in the
00:23:52.420 story of hunter
00:23:52.980 biden's laptop
00:23:53.800 but admitted the
00:23:54.580 network quote
00:23:55.500 did not spend
00:23:56.020 enough time
00:23:56.520 vetting the
00:23:57.180 authenticity of
00:23:58.460 the story
00:23:59.020 then cnn
00:24:00.200 finally admitted
00:24:01.240 senator
00:24:01.900 532 days
00:24:04.740 later
00:24:05.820 that hunter
00:24:06.980 biden's laptop
00:24:07.900 from hell
00:24:08.640 was authentic
00:24:10.100 after the initial
00:24:11.700 story broke
00:24:12.480 a couple days
00:24:13.160 before that
00:24:13.800 they also
00:24:15.040 said it was
00:24:16.000 they did call
00:24:16.840 it over and
00:24:17.320 over again
00:24:17.700 russian
00:24:18.000 disinformation
00:24:18.600 and made up
00:24:20.080 they said that
00:24:21.140 for the entire
00:24:22.340 time they refused
00:24:23.220 to admit it
00:24:23.580 was a real
00:24:23.900 story
00:24:24.260 but now
00:24:25.420 when they
00:24:25.800 were asked
00:24:26.400 about it
00:24:26.920 they both
00:24:27.740 said you
00:24:28.100 got to
00:24:28.380 understand
00:24:28.680 something
00:24:29.200 we did
00:24:29.880 the right
00:24:30.340 thing here
00:24:31.160 we did
00:24:32.180 the right
00:24:32.640 thing because
00:24:33.380 quote hunter
00:24:34.220 biden was
00:24:34.780 never arrested
00:24:35.920 so that is
00:24:37.340 their new
00:24:37.680 standard of
00:24:38.540 i guess
00:24:39.760 covering
00:24:40.340 corruption
00:24:40.980 in the
00:24:41.180 media
00:24:41.380 until
00:24:41.980 some
00:24:42.520 are in
00:24:43.220 politics
00:24:43.740 until
00:24:44.040 someone
00:24:44.600 is
00:24:45.220 arrested
00:24:46.500 until
00:24:48.340 someone
00:24:48.940 is arrested
00:24:49.520 for a
00:24:49.920 crime
00:24:50.220 we don't
00:24:50.660 cover the
00:24:50.980 story
00:24:51.240 do they
00:24:51.760 do that
00:24:52.160 with anybody
00:24:52.580 around
00:24:53.020 donald trump
00:24:53.600 by the way
00:24:54.200 i'm pretty
00:24:54.800 sure that's
00:24:55.320 not their
00:24:55.640 standard
00:24:56.060 well ben
00:24:57.860 lying liars
00:24:58.940 lie
00:24:59.560 and with the
00:25:00.740 corrupt corporate
00:25:01.440 media that's
00:25:02.200 what they do
00:25:02.940 look when they
00:25:03.860 say that
00:25:04.560 they know
00:25:05.300 it's be yes
00:25:05.960 they know
00:25:06.340 they're lying
00:25:06.860 when they
00:25:07.240 say that
00:25:07.760 obviously
00:25:09.280 that's not
00:25:10.060 their standard
00:25:10.620 that they
00:25:10.980 will only
00:25:11.480 cover
00:25:12.000 evidence of
00:25:13.480 corruption
00:25:13.860 when someone's
00:25:14.520 arrested
00:25:14.940 donald trump
00:25:16.040 last i checked
00:25:16.960 donald trump
00:25:17.540 has not been
00:25:18.080 arrested
00:25:18.480 and and i
00:25:19.180 think they've
00:25:19.700 covered every
00:25:20.860 minute of every
00:25:21.600 hour of every
00:25:22.360 day for the
00:25:22.980 last seven
00:25:23.580 years every
00:25:24.780 allegation
00:25:25.500 directed at
00:25:26.220 donald trump
00:25:26.820 um by the
00:25:28.760 way you know
00:25:29.520 that they're
00:25:29.960 right now doing
00:25:30.720 the same thing
00:25:31.340 to herschel
00:25:31.780 walker last i
00:25:32.580 checked herschel
00:25:33.100 walker wasn't
00:25:33.740 arrested but
00:25:34.360 there have been
00:25:34.680 all sorts of
00:25:35.400 personal and
00:25:36.260 nasty allegations
00:25:37.120 against herschel
00:25:37.800 walker which
00:25:38.340 they've
00:25:38.900 breathlessly
00:25:39.700 covered um
00:25:41.060 you know they
00:25:41.740 cover every
00:25:42.380 attack directed
00:25:43.140 at me they
00:25:43.780 cover breathlessly
00:25:44.760 every attack
00:25:45.740 directed at
00:25:46.300 any other
00:25:46.680 republican they
00:25:47.360 cover breathlessly
00:25:48.200 by the way
00:25:48.820 they ignore
00:25:49.640 attacks on
00:25:50.280 democrats across
00:25:51.120 the board so
00:25:51.740 the herschel
00:25:52.180 walker personal
00:25:53.460 attacks are
00:25:54.120 nasty i wish
00:25:54.980 politics didn't
00:25:55.900 get into
00:25:56.720 intra-family
00:25:57.940 disputes but
00:25:59.400 at the same
00:26:00.400 time rafael
00:26:01.120 warlock has
00:26:01.880 some nasty
00:26:02.660 intra-family
00:26:03.440 disputes that
00:26:04.220 are pretty ugly
00:26:04.940 that i don't
00:26:05.600 think we should
00:26:06.020 get into
00:26:06.420 either but
00:26:07.540 the media
00:26:08.120 plays a very
00:26:09.040 selective game
00:26:10.020 where they're
00:26:10.420 willing to
00:26:10.860 drag all of
00:26:11.820 one side's
00:26:12.600 dirty laundry
00:26:13.260 in public
00:26:14.400 but not
00:26:15.000 the other
00:26:15.400 sides
00:26:15.900 when they
00:26:17.320 said that
00:26:18.060 at this
00:26:18.520 convention
00:26:19.020 that well
00:26:19.520 the reason
00:26:20.000 we didn't
00:26:20.560 cover it
00:26:21.020 is he
00:26:21.260 wasn't
00:26:21.560 arrested
00:26:22.000 every molecule
00:26:24.120 in their
00:26:24.700 body knew
00:26:25.540 they were
00:26:25.920 lying and
00:26:26.540 they didn't
00:26:27.020 care
00:26:27.460 because they
00:26:28.480 were in a
00:26:28.920 room full
00:26:29.500 of other
00:26:29.880 liars
00:26:30.460 and it
00:26:31.580 was simply
00:26:32.340 a pretense
00:26:33.240 to cover up
00:26:33.960 their real
00:26:34.480 reason which
00:26:35.220 is we
00:26:36.260 wanted joe
00:26:37.080 biden to
00:26:37.600 win we
00:26:38.160 wanted
00:26:38.600 donald trump
00:26:39.960 to lose
00:26:40.580 and we
00:26:40.940 were willing
00:26:41.440 to lie
00:26:42.280 in order to
00:26:43.100 make that
00:26:43.480 happen
00:26:43.840 it was i
00:26:45.560 mean the
00:26:45.840 quote and i
00:26:46.520 still laugh
00:26:47.180 at it
00:26:47.560 quote he
00:26:48.100 was never
00:26:48.700 arrested the
00:26:49.600 justice department
00:26:50.240 was looking
00:26:50.840 into it
00:26:51.420 never reported
00:26:52.760 it until he
00:26:53.860 until he is
00:26:54.900 the son of
00:26:55.380 a candidate
00:26:55.900 i don't think
00:26:56.920 it's a main
00:26:57.700 story quote
00:26:58.960 until that
00:27:00.300 happens the
00:27:01.320 head of
00:27:01.700 msnbc said
00:27:03.560 defending
00:27:04.700 themselves on
00:27:05.500 stage so i
00:27:06.220 mean well you
00:27:06.940 guys need to
00:27:07.540 calm down we
00:27:08.240 did our job
00:27:08.920 we were
00:27:09.240 brilliant
00:27:09.940 journalists in
00:27:11.120 this matter we
00:27:11.740 just waited
00:27:12.180 500 something
00:27:13.020 days until
00:27:13.780 until we
00:27:14.760 admitted the
00:27:15.200 laptop was
00:27:15.780 real but
00:27:16.080 before that
00:27:16.760 and and i'm
00:27:17.500 like well then
00:27:17.940 you just
00:27:18.240 contradicted your
00:27:18.960 own standard
00:27:19.660 because if
00:27:20.220 your own
00:27:20.580 standard is
00:27:21.320 senator that
00:27:22.280 you we don't
00:27:22.940 report on the
00:27:23.400 story until
00:27:23.820 someone's arrested
00:27:24.480 hunter biden has
00:27:25.400 still not been
00:27:25.960 arrested so then
00:27:26.660 why did you
00:27:27.180 report on it
00:27:27.780 after 500 days
00:27:28.740 you contradicted
00:27:29.940 your own
00:27:30.420 journalistic
00:27:31.080 standard well
00:27:32.380 and the important
00:27:32.960 thing to
00:27:33.380 understand they're
00:27:34.580 not journalists
00:27:35.220 anymore they're
00:27:35.900 not pretending to
00:27:36.760 be journalists
00:27:37.320 anymore
00:27:37.860 they are
00:27:39.260 partisans
00:27:40.220 they're not
00:27:40.620 just democrats
00:27:41.440 they're the
00:27:41.980 left wing of
00:27:42.640 the democrat
00:27:43.060 party you
00:27:43.640 know what it
00:27:44.140 reminds me of
00:27:44.960 is what we
00:27:45.800 talked about in
00:27:46.380 our last podcast
00:27:47.180 which is joe
00:27:48.060 biden asking
00:27:49.240 saudi arabia
00:27:50.180 hey will you
00:27:51.680 delay the
00:27:53.960 output cut in
00:27:55.160 oil for a
00:27:56.420 month just
00:27:56.940 delay it until
00:27:57.560 after election
00:27:58.280 in other words
00:27:58.900 joe biden i'm
00:28:00.300 not interested in
00:28:01.080 fighting for the
00:28:01.720 american people
00:28:02.420 biden's not going
00:28:03.180 to fight for
00:28:03.800 lower gasoline
00:28:04.900 prices for families
00:28:06.000 that can't afford
00:28:06.700 to provide for
00:28:07.300 their kids
00:28:07.820 he wants
00:28:08.940 30 days
00:28:09.680 let me get
00:28:10.140 past the
00:28:10.600 election
00:28:11.020 just get me
00:28:11.960 past the
00:28:12.400 election
00:28:12.780 do me a
00:28:13.700 political solid
00:28:14.460 here
00:28:14.840 that's what
00:28:16.540 cnn and msnbc
00:28:18.140 were doing
00:28:18.660 they looked at
00:28:19.820 this story and
00:28:20.640 said oh
00:28:21.080 this is bad
00:28:22.460 for our guy
00:28:23.140 we got an
00:28:23.620 election coming
00:28:24.340 up if we
00:28:24.940 report on this
00:28:25.840 people won't
00:28:27.080 like it and
00:28:27.680 they might not
00:28:28.500 vote for our
00:28:29.200 guy and if
00:28:29.620 they don't vote
00:28:30.060 for our guy
00:28:30.760 the guy we
00:28:31.680 don't like
00:28:32.120 might win
00:28:32.600 so you know
00:28:33.240 what unlike
00:28:35.280 saudi arabia
00:28:36.280 who said
00:28:36.900 we're not
00:28:37.640 going to be
00:28:37.980 the political
00:28:38.520 henchman for
00:28:39.180 joe biden
00:28:39.700 thank you for
00:28:40.240 the invitation
00:28:40.840 uh cnn and
00:28:42.220 msnbc happily
00:28:43.980 said of course
00:28:46.160 we're the
00:28:46.560 political henchman
00:28:47.400 for joe biden
00:28:48.200 that is our
00:28:49.460 job they do
00:28:50.580 not behave any
00:28:51.760 differently here's
00:28:52.440 a question to ask
00:28:53.180 yourself would
00:28:54.820 msnbc behave any
00:28:56.800 differently if the
00:28:58.560 biden for president
00:28:59.820 campaign literally
00:29:01.460 signed their
00:29:02.440 paychecks and
00:29:04.140 if every word
00:29:05.100 they say on
00:29:05.760 tv every day
00:29:06.740 is identical to
00:29:08.300 what they would
00:29:08.860 say if their
00:29:09.720 paycheck every
00:29:10.940 two weeks came
00:29:12.200 from biden for
00:29:13.180 president that
00:29:14.460 tells you they're
00:29:15.200 not journalists
00:29:15.900 they're political
00:29:16.540 hacks and and
00:29:17.400 sadly that's the
00:29:18.160 that's the reality
00:29:18.880 of it you even
00:29:19.920 tweeted about this
00:29:21.020 it was an
00:29:21.740 interesting point
00:29:22.580 there are people
00:29:23.640 that are now
00:29:24.100 demanding that a
00:29:25.220 reporter that
00:29:25.880 talked about uh
00:29:27.320 how uh the how
00:29:29.240 in a conversation
00:29:31.660 she was having
00:29:32.460 with a politician
00:29:33.380 didn't believe
00:29:34.660 that he was
00:29:35.020 coherent in this
00:29:36.280 conversation and
00:29:37.760 now she's been
00:29:38.580 reprimanded and
00:29:40.020 people are demanding
00:29:40.800 that she be fired
00:29:41.840 so even when the
00:29:42.700 media does do
00:29:43.340 their job their
00:29:44.160 own industry and
00:29:45.900 their own network
00:29:46.760 seems to turn on
00:29:47.680 them like automatically
00:29:49.320 because they didn't
00:29:50.080 tote the line of
00:29:50.740 propaganda
00:29:51.160 it really is
00:29:53.200 stunning they had
00:29:53.940 this this young
00:29:54.660 nbc reporter who
00:29:56.060 interviewed john
00:29:57.080 fetterman and
00:29:58.260 listen fetterman
00:29:59.200 apparently is is
00:30:00.580 so mentally
00:30:01.740 diminished that
00:30:03.200 that he required
00:30:04.380 um closed
00:30:06.020 captioning so not
00:30:07.200 only would he hear
00:30:07.860 the questions but
00:30:08.600 he had to read
00:30:09.340 them to understand
00:30:10.220 what the questions
00:30:10.920 were and and
00:30:12.380 this young reporter
00:30:13.160 said afterwards
00:30:13.800 said wow he
00:30:14.580 really is mentally
00:30:16.220 diminished i mean
00:30:17.120 it was i was
00:30:17.760 trying to talk to
00:30:18.520 him and he
00:30:18.880 couldn't he didn't
00:30:19.700 understand what
00:30:20.440 what i was saying
00:30:21.180 and what was going
00:30:21.740 on now in any
00:30:23.900 ordinary world that
00:30:25.220 would be called
00:30:25.920 news and for a
00:30:26.840 young reporter
00:30:27.400 that's a big
00:30:28.040 breaking story
00:30:28.960 she ought to
00:30:29.420 be commended
00:30:30.600 for actually
00:30:31.120 reporting on
00:30:31.720 news but
00:30:32.800 several things
00:30:34.300 happened number
00:30:34.800 one fetterman's
00:30:35.580 wife has publicly
00:30:36.600 called that this
00:30:37.940 reporter be fired
00:30:39.080 why go back to
00:30:40.780 the question i i
00:30:41.740 said before
00:30:42.640 how would things
00:30:44.400 be different if
00:30:45.920 all of the
00:30:46.660 corporate media's
00:30:47.480 paycheck came
00:30:48.480 from in this case
00:30:49.360 instead of the
00:30:49.880 biden for president
00:30:50.600 campaign the
00:30:51.740 john fetterman
00:30:52.360 for senate campaign
00:30:53.280 well if this
00:30:54.620 reporter had done
00:30:55.360 this and she
00:30:55.920 worked for the
00:30:56.540 john fetterman
00:30:57.080 for senate
00:30:57.460 campaign they
00:30:58.280 would have
00:30:58.660 fired her
00:30:59.300 so in some
00:31:00.100 ways i don't
00:31:00.680 fault mrs
00:31:01.200 fetterman for
00:31:01.840 saying one
00:31:02.680 of our employees
00:31:03.400 said something
00:31:04.060 that was harmful
00:31:04.860 to our candidate
00:31:06.060 fire them
00:31:06.940 and it is
00:31:08.360 interesting the
00:31:09.360 mandarins of the
00:31:11.020 corrupt corporate
00:31:11.820 media all jumped
00:31:13.740 on board attacking
00:31:14.960 this poor young
00:31:15.880 reporter absurdly
00:31:17.800 enough the view
00:31:18.820 you know the show
00:31:19.540 the view you
