Verdict with Ted Cruz - FBI Turns Tail on Biden Corruption & NYT Blames Kids' Mutilation on Conservatives

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.600 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.800 Senator, good to be back with you in studio.

00:00:07.920 It's been a while.

00:00:08.640 It's been crazy, certainly politically.

00:00:11.120 And I want to talk about this piece of paper

00:00:13.720 that everyone's talking about.

00:00:15.360 Christopher Wray, the FBI director,

00:00:17.540 has been hellbent on not giving a document

00:00:20.460 that reportedly ties Joe Biden

00:00:22.860 to some sort of bribery scheme to Congress.

00:00:26.580 This is shocking on its face,

00:00:28.540 but now we're being told that on Monday,

00:00:31.900 he's going to bring this document to Congress finally.

00:00:35.700 What do we know about it outside of that?

00:00:38.340 Well, the facts are simple,

00:00:39.640 which is an informant let the FBI know

00:00:42.480 that he or she had evidence

00:00:44.640 that Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme.

00:00:47.840 And it was a bribery scheme of $5 million

00:00:50.520 from a foreign country.

00:00:52.800 We don't know what country.

00:00:54.180 We're told it's not China.

00:00:56.320 So it's some country, not China.

00:00:58.040 When Joe Biden was vice president,

00:01:00.720 allegedly it was a $5 million bribery scheme

00:01:03.780 in exchange for changes in U.S. policy.

00:01:07.440 We don't know what kind of changes in U.S. policy.

00:01:10.000 We also know that this informant called the FBI,

00:01:13.120 gave information.

00:01:14.040 This was an informant the FBI had used before.

00:01:17.180 In multiple cases,

00:01:18.720 they'd relied on this informant

00:01:20.280 on matters that had nothing to do with Joe Biden.

00:01:22.560 And so this is someone presumably the FBI had reason to trust,

00:01:27.180 reason to give weight to what they had to say.

00:01:29.560 And so the FBI recorded the results of that phone call

00:01:33.360 on a document called an FD-1023.

00:01:36.280 That is a document that the FBI uses

00:01:38.820 when you have an informant reporting information.

00:01:41.940 They write down the contents of the call.

00:01:43.800 Now, what we don't know is what happened next.

00:01:47.820 What we also don't know is what did the call say?

00:01:50.480 What exactly?

00:01:51.540 We have details that have basically been leaked out,

00:01:54.900 but we don't know the specifics.

00:01:56.400 And so the House of Representatives said quite reasonably,

00:02:00.180 we want to see the damn piece of paper.

00:02:03.660 We want to see the document.

00:02:04.720 We want to see what this informant told you

00:02:07.700 about was Joe Biden corrupt

00:02:09.740 and on the take from a foreign nation.

00:02:11.560 Obviously, the next step is going to be

00:02:13.980 we want to know what you did about it.

00:02:15.880 Did you go interview the guy?

00:02:17.140 Did you go investigate with their documentary evidence?

00:02:19.800 What did you do next?

00:02:21.060 Or did you just bury it?

00:02:22.380 Did you just slow walk it?

00:02:24.000 We have a different whistleblower in the IRS

00:02:26.300 who says the Biden administration

00:02:28.760 is slow walking the investigations

00:02:30.960 into Hunter Biden,

00:02:32.900 deliberately putting roadblocks in the way,

00:02:35.080 deliberately avoiding investigating it.

00:02:37.620 We know that the FBI did that with Hunter Biden's laptop,

00:02:41.660 that they had the laptop

00:02:42.720 and they sat on it and did nothing

00:02:44.520 because presumably they wanted to protect Joe Biden.

00:02:48.440 And so this was all headed to an epic battle

00:02:50.440 where Chris Wray, the director of the FBI,

00:02:53.160 was saying, no, you can't have this document.

00:02:55.960 And James Comer and the House said,

00:02:58.020 fine, we're going to hold you in contempt.

00:03:00.220 And I got to say, thankfully,

00:03:03.100 at the last minute, Chris Wray blinked.

00:03:05.540 The director of the FBI was about to be held

00:03:08.200 in contempt to Congress

00:03:09.240 when suddenly he blinked and said,

00:03:11.620 okay, you can see the document,

00:03:14.280 but we're going to carry it over to you.

00:03:17.560 And Comer and the ranking Democrat,

00:03:19.840 the two of you can sit down

00:03:21.320 and review the document in person.

00:03:25.140 And Comer said, okay,

00:03:26.660 so that is going to happen today.

00:03:28.360 Today, the FBI is going to carry the document over.

00:03:31.440 I don't know what it contains,

00:03:33.540 but that is happening today.

00:03:35.640 And on the face of it,

00:03:36.960 it is an informant the FBI had trusted in the past,

00:03:39.860 who'd been reliable in the past,

00:03:41.380 who alleged that Joe Biden was directly involved

00:03:45.780 in a multimillion dollar bribery scheme.

00:03:47.980 This piece of paper,

00:03:48.940 is this a power play by the FBI and Christopher Wray

00:03:52.080 just to say, you can't have the piece of paper,

00:03:54.900 we'll let you look at it.

00:03:55.920 Or is this a,

00:03:58.560 we don't want this piece of paper

00:03:59.760 to get out to the public

00:04:00.720 because it's so damning to the president,

00:04:02.880 who was then the vice president

00:04:04.040 when apparently this bribery scheme

00:04:05.560 allegedly happened.

00:04:06.960 Why are they so hell-bent on protecting

00:04:08.840 this piece of paper?

00:04:10.020 Could it be both the same time?

00:04:11.440 Or is it probably the fact

00:04:12.960 that this is a much bigger deal

00:04:14.160 than they want anybody to know about?

00:04:15.240 Yeah, look, there are a combination of factors

00:04:17.460 and to be fair,

00:04:18.260 we don't know for sure right now.

00:04:20.440 On one level,

00:04:21.640 the FBI is naturally protective

00:04:24.160 of information involving confidential informants.

00:04:27.680 The FBI gets confidential informants all the time.

00:04:30.340 They don't want to out their confidential informants.

00:04:32.280 So that is a reasonable law enforcement instinct.

00:04:37.120 Let's protect our informants.

00:04:38.420 On the other side,

00:04:41.080 and look, we've talked about this before.

00:04:42.800 I've known Chris Wray for 25 plus years.

00:04:47.740 Chris Wray is not a hardcore lefty.

00:04:49.940 He's not even a Democrat.

00:04:53.480 Chris Wray is a company man.

00:04:57.240 Chris Wray is non-political, non-ideological,

00:05:01.040 but he views his role

00:05:02.740 as I've got to protect the institution of the FBI.

00:05:08.920 I mean, I have been on the phone

00:05:10.860 yelling at Chris Wray,

00:05:13.100 explaining to him,

00:05:14.160 you're not in fact protecting the FBI.

00:05:17.400 When you protect the hardcore partisans

00:05:20.440 who've corrupted the FBI,

00:05:22.440 you are hurting the institution.

00:05:25.000 If you actually cared about the institution,

00:05:28.480 you wouldn't protect those partisans

00:05:30.880 who are perverting law enforcement.

00:05:32.740 You would instead hold them to account

00:05:34.820 and you would terminate them.

00:05:36.280 You would clean a house.

00:05:37.340 That's what needs to happen.

00:05:39.020 And when it comes to Congress,

00:05:41.520 I think Chris Wray has a very limited view

00:05:44.620 of accountability.

00:05:47.240 He has a view that the FBI is above reproach

00:05:50.960 and how dare anyone

00:05:53.120 ask what the hell they're doing.

00:05:55.420 So when Congress asks for something,

00:05:57.740 he has an imperious response of,

00:06:00.480 we don't report to you.

00:06:02.520 And he's right.

00:06:04.220 They don't report to Congress.

00:06:05.580 He reports to the Department of Justice.

00:06:08.000 The Department of Justice,

00:06:09.860 on the other hand,

00:06:10.620 is directly accountable to Congress.

00:06:13.600 And Congress is accountable

00:06:14.920 to the American people.

00:06:15.980 And when Chris Wray says,

00:06:17.400 we don't report to you,

00:06:18.340 what he's really saying

00:06:19.100 to the American people

00:06:19.980 is we don't report

00:06:21.240 to the American people.

00:06:22.400 We have no standards

00:06:23.700 that govern us.

00:06:24.940 We are the FBI.

00:06:25.820 We can do whatever the hell we want.

00:06:27.880 And that is profoundly harmful

00:06:30.980 for the rule of law

00:06:33.200 and for fair and impartial

00:06:34.660 administration of justice.

00:06:35.920 There's a time also aspect

00:06:38.360 of this piece of paper, Senator.

00:06:39.820 It's a piece of paper,

00:06:41.260 apparently,

00:06:42.200 that the FBI has had

00:06:43.480 for quite some time.

00:06:45.980 James Comer mentioned that,

00:06:47.120 and I want to play it for people

00:06:48.140 because I think that also brings

00:06:49.600 a different dynamic into this.

00:06:51.260 How long have they had this?

00:06:53.280 And what have they not done

00:06:54.240 since they've had it?

00:06:55.360 Before we play that, though,

00:06:56.620 I want to tell you about

00:06:57.180 Patriot Mobile.

00:06:57.920 If you are sick and tired

00:06:59.080 of giving your money

00:06:59.840 to woke companies

00:07:01.200 and organizations

00:07:02.000 that are obviously fighting

00:07:03.660 against your values,

00:07:04.420 and we've seen a lot of this lately

00:07:05.760 with Bud Light and Target,

00:07:07.280 the list goes on and on.

00:07:09.160 With cell phone,

00:07:10.380 you really didn't have an option

00:07:11.820 for many years.

00:07:12.720 You just had to go along with it

00:07:14.180 because there was big companies.

00:07:15.380 They were giving a ton of money

00:07:16.560 to leftist organizations.

00:07:17.960 You don't have to do that anymore.

00:07:19.960 Patriot Mobile

00:07:20.540 is the only conservative

00:07:21.540 Christian cell phone company

00:07:22.880 in the U.S.,

00:07:23.700 and when you pay your bill,

00:07:25.340 they're actually fighting

00:07:26.740 for what you believe in.

00:07:27.980 Now, you get the same great coverage

00:07:29.800 you're used to right now,

00:07:31.400 except you're giving your money

00:07:32.860 to an organization

00:07:33.600 that's fighting for the First

00:07:34.580 and the Second Amendment,

00:07:35.840 fighting for our veterans,

00:07:37.160 fighting for our police,

00:07:38.420 and fighting for the rights

00:07:39.780 of unborn children

00:07:40.600 in this country.

00:07:41.920 Check out Patriot Mobile.

00:08:07.840 Senator,

00:08:08.540 James Comer

00:08:09.640 was talking about

00:08:10.920 the years

00:08:12.280 this letter's just been

00:08:13.280 sitting there,

00:08:14.260 and if it wasn't

00:08:15.040 for a whistleblower,

00:08:15.740 we wouldn't know

00:08:16.460 they ever had it.

00:08:17.820 Here's what he had to say

00:08:18.560 on Fox.

00:08:19.500 They've had the document

00:08:20.700 for four years.

00:08:22.540 We don't know

00:08:23.180 if they've even

00:08:23.760 investigated it.

00:08:25.120 That's my fear,

00:08:26.360 that they never did anything.

00:08:28.000 Would you look at

00:08:28.680 what's happened

00:08:29.220 with the IRS,

00:08:30.120 what the IRS whistleblower's claim

00:08:31.580 is they were told

00:08:32.600 to stand down.

00:08:33.400 There's a pattern

00:08:34.260 within our federal government

00:08:36.520 of when looking at

00:08:38.900 any type of wrongdoing

00:08:40.500 by the Biden family

00:08:41.540 that people in the

00:08:43.260 government bureaucracy

00:08:44.460 have told rank-and-file

00:08:46.560 government employees

00:08:48.800 to stand down

00:08:49.640 or to give them

00:08:51.000 the file

00:08:51.580 and don't worry about it.

00:08:52.980 That's basically

00:08:53.640 what Director Wray

00:08:54.420 has told me.

00:08:54.980 I have demonstrated

00:08:56.320 a pattern

00:08:57.220 of Joe Biden

00:08:58.720 traveling all over

00:08:59.660 the world,

00:09:00.480 and weeks after

00:09:01.300 he leaves the country,

00:09:02.600 his family starts

00:09:03.780 mysteriously getting

00:09:04.920 wires from that

00:09:06.520 foreign country

00:09:07.300 into shell companies

00:09:08.700 that then are wired

00:09:09.840 back to the

00:09:10.560 individual family

00:09:11.600 bank accounts.

00:09:11.920 Let me ask you this.

00:09:12.700 It's not normal behavior.

00:09:14.540 If this letter

00:09:15.520 is as damning

00:09:16.280 as it seems

00:09:17.020 it could be,

00:09:17.620 Senator,

00:09:18.660 what happens next?

00:09:20.400 If Comer looks

00:09:21.680 at the FBI director

00:09:22.420 and says,

00:09:22.760 hey,

00:09:23.260 did you guys

00:09:23.820 investigate this?

00:09:24.500 And he says,

00:09:25.420 I'm not going to tell you.

00:09:26.800 If he claims

00:09:27.400 it's an ongoing investigation,

00:09:28.900 how do we find out more?

00:09:30.420 What are the options

00:09:31.300 on the table?

00:09:32.000 And could this go

00:09:32.800 to even bigger standoffs?

00:09:33.880 Yeah, look,

00:09:34.480 it certainly could.

00:09:36.000 You know,

00:09:36.240 I will say

00:09:36.860 what James was saying

00:09:38.220 right there

00:09:38.740 is really significant.

00:09:40.820 This pattern,

00:09:41.700 Joe Biden gets

00:09:42.420 on a plane.

00:09:42.940 He flies

00:09:43.300 to a foreign country.

00:09:44.220 This is mostly

00:09:44.800 when he was vice president.

00:09:46.400 He lands

00:09:47.080 in the foreign countries.

00:09:48.160 He's there

00:09:48.260 for a day or two.

00:09:49.060 He leaves.

00:09:50.760 And then a few weeks later,

00:09:51.980 millions of dollars

00:09:52.740 start coming

00:09:53.380 from that foreign country

00:09:54.680 in wires

00:09:56.600 to shell companies

00:09:58.220 that distribute

00:09:59.440 that money

00:10:00.120 to Biden family members.

00:10:02.560 He said

00:10:03.180 that's not normal.

00:10:03.960 I actually think

00:10:04.860 that's not normal

00:10:05.760 is an insane

00:10:07.500 understatement.

00:10:09.200 That's frigging bizarre.

00:10:10.360 Look,

00:10:11.940 I've been

00:10:12.960 in the Senate

00:10:13.860 11 years.

00:10:15.800 My family

00:10:16.600 doesn't get wires

00:10:17.380 from foreign countries.

00:10:18.240 Like,

00:10:18.420 why would we?

00:10:20.340 I don't know

00:10:21.160 of anyone

00:10:21.540 in the Senate

00:10:22.060 whose family

00:10:23.140 gets wires

00:10:23.720 from foreign countries.

00:10:24.700 That would be bizarre.

00:10:26.060 I don't know

00:10:26.380 of anyone

00:10:26.780 in the federal government.

00:10:27.900 I don't know

00:10:28.280 of any cabinet official.

00:10:29.280 I don't know

00:10:29.520 of anyone

00:10:30.140 whose family

00:10:32.160 miraculously

00:10:32.920 gets paid off

00:10:34.100 by shady

00:10:35.140 Ukrainians

00:10:36.480 or shady

00:10:36.960 Chinese communists.

00:10:38.160 I mean,

00:10:39.640 these facts,

00:10:42.240 this is,

00:10:43.900 these are criminal

00:10:45.880 allegations.

00:10:46.680 These are allegations

00:10:47.540 of serious

00:10:48.500 criminal corruption

00:10:49.540 and it's not like,

00:10:51.240 oh,

00:10:51.740 oh,

00:10:52.020 come now.

00:10:52.560 Who hasn't had

00:10:53.120 a few million dollars

00:10:54.000 sent to your

00:10:54.840 Uncle Benny

00:10:55.900 when you happen

00:10:57.340 to come back

00:10:57.880 from Beijing?

00:10:58.740 Well,

00:10:59.000 no,

00:10:59.560 no,

00:10:59.880 normal people

00:11:00.540 don't do that

00:11:01.460 and by the way,

00:11:03.620 the Chinese communists

00:11:04.820 don't send

00:11:05.280 a few million dollars

00:11:06.200 in exchange

00:11:06.660 for nothing.

00:11:07.180 Yeah.

00:11:07.880 It's not

00:11:08.340 Publisher's Clearinghouse.

00:11:09.520 They don't show up

00:11:10.120 with Ed McMahon

00:11:10.580 at your door

00:11:11.240 and say,

00:11:11.900 guess what?

00:11:12.300 Here's a check

00:11:12.820 for you.

00:11:13.940 It's not because

00:11:15.320 they like Joe Biden's

00:11:16.580 aviators.

00:11:18.140 They're getting

00:11:18.880 something for it.

00:11:19.940 They're not in the business

00:11:20.920 of giving away money

00:11:22.160 and so

00:11:23.580 the fact

00:11:25.340 that the FBI

00:11:26.120 and by the way,

00:11:27.080 they've had it

00:11:27.540 four years.

00:11:29.720 Four years ago,

00:11:30.660 who was president?

00:11:32.220 Donald Trump.

00:11:33.180 So this is during

00:11:34.300 the Trump administration.

00:11:35.460 The FBI gets

00:11:36.820 this information,

00:11:38.080 but the FBI,

00:11:39.480 the deep state

00:11:40.580 is so corrupted.

00:11:41.920 Listen,

00:11:42.180 the FBI was waging war

00:11:44.120 against Donald Trump.

00:11:45.640 The FBI

00:11:46.180 was functionally

00:11:47.720 on the Biden

00:11:48.680 presidential campaign.

00:11:50.920 And we also know that

00:11:51.860 from the Twitter files.

00:11:52.820 I get that sounds

00:11:54.460 like it should be hyperbole.

00:11:56.440 Come on,

00:11:56.680 that can't be right.

00:11:57.900 And yet it's reality.

00:11:58.860 Until we look

00:11:59.600 at the Twitter files

00:12:00.360 where the FBI

00:12:01.000 was asking

00:12:01.920 big tech,

00:12:03.240 hey,

00:12:04.180 don't run any stories

00:12:06.380 on the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:12:07.960 Hey,

00:12:08.360 suppress anyone else

00:12:09.560 from even talking about it.

00:12:10.700 Hey,

00:12:11.040 use your monopoly power

00:12:12.380 to silence discussion

00:12:13.740 of topics

00:12:14.360 that would hurt Joe Biden

00:12:15.900 in the election.

00:12:16.760 Why?

00:12:17.140 Well,

00:12:17.220 they don't actually state it,

00:12:18.440 but it's not complicated

00:12:19.620 to figure out

00:12:20.280 because they wanted Biden

00:12:21.220 to win

00:12:21.680 and Trump to lose.

00:12:23.560 And that level

00:12:24.820 of corruption.

00:12:25.780 So

00:12:25.900 this report

00:12:27.660 comes in

00:12:28.420 and by the way,

00:12:29.300 it is unusual.

00:12:31.260 Look,

00:12:31.580 I worked at DOJ.

00:12:32.660 I worked five years

00:12:33.460 at the Texas

00:12:33.940 Attorney General's office

00:12:34.940 to get

00:12:35.400 to get a report

00:12:37.240 of a senior

00:12:39.300 government official

00:12:40.280 getting millions

00:12:41.100 of dollars

00:12:41.740 of bribes

00:12:42.460 from a foreign nation.

00:12:43.820 I've never seen

00:12:44.640 that happen before.

00:12:45.680 That's bizarre.

00:12:46.740 Just that report.

00:12:47.800 Now,

00:12:48.360 the report may not be true.

00:12:51.900 Although the fact

00:12:52.920 that the informant

00:12:54.320 was someone else

00:12:55.040 who had proven reliable

00:12:56.120 and they relied on before,

00:12:57.520 that gives it greater

00:12:58.340 indicia of reliability.

00:13:00.400 The media has really,

00:13:01.540 by the way,

00:13:01.960 looked over that point.

00:13:03.140 I think we should just

00:13:04.060 make it very clear.

00:13:06.120 This was a person

00:13:07.260 who the FBI trusted,

00:13:08.720 who they've used before

00:13:09.760 as an informant before

00:13:10.900 on other issues

00:13:11.880 not related

00:13:12.680 to the $5 million

00:13:14.040 bribery accusation

00:13:15.300 with the former

00:13:15.880 Vice President

00:13:16.540 Joe Biden.

00:13:18.060 That is significant.

00:13:19.600 It should be leading

00:13:20.400 on the front page

00:13:21.040 of newspapers.

00:13:22.060 No one's talking

00:13:23.080 about this,

00:13:23.640 first off,

00:13:24.120 but they're certainly

00:13:25.000 not telling you

00:13:25.680 that piece of information.

00:13:27.260 Look,

00:13:27.420 our newspapers,

00:13:29.420 our major networks,

00:13:30.580 they are corrupt.

00:13:32.380 I don't use the phrase

00:13:33.740 mainstream media

00:13:34.540 because there's nothing

00:13:35.220 mainstream about

00:13:36.120 the Marxists

00:13:36.740 who are running

00:13:37.240 these institutions.

00:13:38.820 The phrase,

00:13:39.680 as you know,

00:13:40.060 that I use

00:13:40.700 is corrupt corporate media.

00:13:41.980 They are corporations.

00:13:43.480 Their political decision

00:13:44.740 is decided

00:13:45.320 from the corner office

00:13:46.420 and they are right now

00:13:47.920 the left wing

00:13:48.680 of the Democrat Party.

00:13:50.040 They're not talking

00:13:51.000 about these facts.

00:13:51.980 But you asked

00:13:53.100 what are the next steps.

00:13:54.240 Look,

00:13:54.460 Comer's going to look

00:13:55.100 at this document,

00:13:55.920 number one,

00:13:56.440 see, okay,

00:13:56.860 what was reported.

00:13:58.340 The obvious next question

00:13:59.720 is going to be,

00:14:00.780 what'd you do?

00:14:01.920 Did you interview with him?

00:14:02.980 Okay.

00:14:03.760 I want to see the notes

00:14:04.720 from that interview.

00:14:05.340 I assume they interviewed

00:14:07.140 the guy.

00:14:07.460 If they didn't interview

00:14:08.040 the guy,

00:14:09.340 holy crap.

00:14:10.180 Yeah.

00:14:10.800 So I'm assuming

00:14:12.140 they interviewed him.

00:14:13.700 The level of malfeasance

00:14:15.880 if they didn't even bother

00:14:16.860 to follow up on it,

00:14:18.560 somebody should be fired

00:14:19.720 and maybe go to jail

00:14:20.560 if they didn't follow up on it.

00:14:22.480 I'm going to assume they did.

00:14:25.120 The next thing Comer's going to ask,

00:14:26.860 let me see the meeting notes.

00:14:27.780 Now, it's worth noting

00:14:28.560 this document,

00:14:30.900 the FD 1023,

00:14:32.520 it's not classified.

00:14:34.800 Why is that, by the way,

00:14:35.980 for people to understand?

00:14:36.800 Because we hear

00:14:37.720 it's not classified

00:14:38.920 so we assume

00:14:39.580 that's not as important.

00:14:41.100 That's not always the case.

00:14:41.940 So classified typically

00:14:43.240 involves national security matters.

00:14:45.680 So if you have a schematic

00:14:47.280 of the electronics

00:14:49.160 of the F-35,

00:14:50.380 that's classified.

00:14:51.300 Sure.

00:14:51.800 We don't want our enemies

00:14:52.540 to know how our

00:14:53.740 advanced fighter jets operate.

00:14:55.520 If you have a spy,

00:14:57.420 we've got a spy in Moscow

00:14:59.000 that tells us

00:14:59.820 something Putin's saying,

00:15:01.280 whether it's an American spy

00:15:02.860 or it's a Russian...

00:15:04.560 Asset for us.

00:15:05.360 ...asset who's doing something,

00:15:06.580 that's classified

00:15:07.480 because you don't want

00:15:08.500 to expose

00:15:09.160 our intelligence.

00:15:10.840 There's lots of things,

00:15:12.340 but generally things

00:15:13.540 that are classified

00:15:14.240 deal with either

00:15:15.020 the military

00:15:15.540 or foreign policy.

00:15:17.980 This

00:15:18.460 has not been classified.

00:15:21.460 It is something

00:15:22.500 that is referred to

00:15:23.440 as law enforcement

00:15:24.260 confidential,

00:15:25.200 which is,

00:15:26.020 I go back to,

00:15:27.200 look,

00:15:27.420 the FBI is not unreasonable

00:15:29.040 that as a general matter

00:15:31.120 what confidential informants

00:15:32.480 put forward

00:15:33.000 should be protected

00:15:33.860 because,

00:15:35.040 you know,

00:15:35.400 going back to the drug mule,

00:15:37.200 if the drug mule

00:15:37.980 knew that he or she

00:15:38.820 would be outed,

00:15:39.520 you wouldn't come forward

00:15:40.540 and provide information

00:15:41.640 and law enforcement

00:15:42.480 depends upon the idea

00:15:44.440 that we're going to

00:15:44.880 protect enforcements.

00:15:45.820 In this instance,

00:15:48.620 however,

00:15:48.920 there is a massive

00:15:50.340 public interest

00:15:51.600 in knowing

00:15:55.600 was the vice president

00:15:57.000 of the United States,

00:15:57.900 who now happens to be

00:15:58.800 the president

00:15:59.280 of the United States,

00:16:01.300 corrupt

00:16:02.000 and being paid off

00:16:03.320 by a foreign nation.

00:16:05.040 That is an issue

00:16:06.320 of public importance,

00:16:07.460 I would say,

00:16:07.840 at the very highest level.

00:16:09.540 If the president

00:16:10.940 is on the take

00:16:11.980 from one of our enemies,

00:16:14.100 every American

00:16:14.840 deserves to know about it

00:16:16.660 and Congress

00:16:17.200 has a right,

00:16:17.900 not just a right,

00:16:18.520 an obligation

00:16:19.300 to get to the bottom

00:16:20.640 of that.

00:16:22.000 You know,

00:16:22.300 you look at impeachment,

00:16:24.420 a lot of discussion

00:16:25.320 about high crimes

00:16:25.980 and misdemeanors.

00:16:26.860 Yeah.

00:16:28.340 But treason and bribery

00:16:29.800 are explicitly named.

00:16:32.220 For a good reason.

00:16:33.800 Impeachment lies

00:16:34.860 for treason, bribery

00:16:35.880 or other high crimes

00:16:37.340 and misdemeanors.

00:16:38.400 Treason and bribery

00:16:39.080 are right at the top

00:16:39.860 of the list.

00:16:40.320 They're at the top

00:16:40.860 of the pyramid.

00:16:41.720 They're the worst things

00:16:42.840 a president can do.

00:16:45.000 And if a president

00:16:45.920 is being bribed

00:16:47.420 by a foreign nation

00:16:49.860 who is an enemy

00:16:50.640 of America

00:16:51.200 to make decisions

00:16:52.360 against America's interests,

00:16:54.120 that could well be

00:16:55.180 not just bribery

00:16:56.520 but treason as well.

00:16:57.460 Now, we don't know.

00:16:58.860 I'm engaging in

00:16:59.820 speculation upon speculation there.

00:17:02.220 Why don't we know,

00:17:02.960 don't know?

00:17:03.580 Because the FBI

00:17:04.460 won't release the information.

00:17:05.760 So,

00:17:06.600 Comer's going to sit down

00:17:07.500 and look at it

00:17:08.060 depending on what it says.

00:17:09.100 Comer's next question

00:17:09.940 is going to be

00:17:10.540 did you interview the person?

00:17:12.280 And I assume

00:17:13.300 there's going to be

00:17:14.740 an escalation from there

00:17:16.000 to say

00:17:16.500 this information

00:17:17.940 needs to go public.

00:17:19.440 We need to have a hearing.

00:17:21.200 Depending on the credibility

00:17:22.360 of the source,

00:17:23.240 if I were Comer,

00:17:24.660 I'd say

00:17:25.200 I want this informant

00:17:27.180 to testify.

00:17:27.740 Now,

00:17:29.180 at some level,

00:17:30.620 the concerns

00:17:31.540 about why you want

00:17:32.580 an informant

00:17:33.280 their identity

00:17:35.820 to be protected,

00:17:37.060 presumably,

00:17:38.060 those concerns

00:17:39.020 are less here.

00:17:40.620 If it's a drug mule,

00:17:42.300 you want to protect

00:17:43.220 the identity

00:17:43.880 because the drug dealers

00:17:44.920 will murder him.

00:17:46.020 That's a pretty good reason.

00:17:47.460 Sure.

00:17:49.060 One would hope

00:17:50.520 Joe Biden

00:17:52.300 is not going to murder

00:17:53.420 this informant.

00:17:54.300 so the reasons

00:17:57.280 of protecting

00:17:58.320 a witness

00:17:59.380 from violence

00:18:00.640 from the target

00:18:02.420 of whatever it is

00:18:04.120 the informant

00:18:04.660 is passing on

00:18:05.500 should presumably

00:18:06.760 be less.

00:18:07.580 Now,

00:18:08.180 depending on the

00:18:09.000 foreign nation,

00:18:10.020 if it's Russia,

00:18:11.840 if it's North Korea,

00:18:12.540 if it's Iran,

00:18:13.100 I mean,

00:18:13.280 there are enemies

00:18:13.860 of America

00:18:14.520 who might...

00:18:15.580 Because we know

00:18:15.620 it's not China.

00:18:16.500 We know it's not China.

00:18:17.720 Okay,

00:18:18.320 we actually don't know

00:18:19.380 anything.

00:18:20.000 Yeah.

00:18:20.280 What is being said

00:18:21.940 in the leaky world

00:18:23.860 suggests that

00:18:25.680 it's not China,

00:18:26.600 but,

00:18:27.840 you know,

00:18:28.380 there are friends.

00:18:30.220 It could be...

00:18:30.780 I'm just picking

00:18:31.200 a country out of the hat.

00:18:31.940 It could be France.

00:18:33.340 France presumably

00:18:34.220 is not going to

00:18:34.780 whack the guy

00:18:35.420 for making it public.

00:18:36.780 Yeah.

00:18:37.500 Iran might.

00:18:38.480 Yeah.

00:18:39.020 Or Russia.

00:18:40.020 Yeah.

00:18:40.200 So,

00:18:41.640 who the country is

00:18:42.980 matters in terms

00:18:44.000 of the risk

00:18:44.940 to the individual.

00:18:47.040 Could easily be Ukraine.

00:18:48.640 We obviously know

00:18:49.320 of Hunter Biden's

00:18:50.040 long history

00:18:50.560 of being paid for,

00:18:51.720 paid and paid for

00:18:53.000 by Burisma

00:18:54.260 and making millions

00:18:55.600 of dollars.

00:18:56.160 So,

00:18:56.360 Ukraine is certainly

00:18:57.160 a real contender

00:18:58.200 given the other history.

00:18:59.460 Or it's another country

00:19:00.600 we don't know about

00:19:01.180 it altogether.

00:19:02.000 And that could open

00:19:03.200 a whole new chapter

00:19:03.980 in this.

00:19:05.200 But,

00:19:05.840 I think the House

00:19:07.760 will believe,

00:19:08.420 assuming there's

00:19:09.320 there there.

00:19:11.100 Now,

00:19:11.500 look,

00:19:11.720 it's possible

00:19:12.240 you look at this document

00:19:13.220 and the guy's a crank

00:19:14.080 and he says,

00:19:14.800 you know,

00:19:15.460 little green men

00:19:16.220 who were Martians

00:19:16.900 arrived and gave cash

00:19:18.520 to Joe Biden.

00:19:19.200 Okay.

00:19:19.400 But if that's true,

00:19:20.120 would they really do this

00:19:21.480 to protect this document

00:19:22.420 the way they have?

00:19:22.880 It wouldn't make any sense to you.

00:19:23.580 Yeah.

00:19:23.840 You would just say,

00:19:24.440 here,

00:19:24.700 see it,

00:19:25.180 right?

00:19:25.400 Why would you fight

00:19:26.660 so hard to the point

00:19:28.260 where you're almost

00:19:28.840 held in contempt of Congress?

00:19:30.060 Yeah.

00:19:30.460 The next stage

00:19:31.580 will be to fight

00:19:33.520 to make this information public.

00:19:35.060 And so Comer took

00:19:35.820 as an intermediate ground.

00:19:37.340 Let's look.

00:19:37.860 I'm glad Ray gave in.

00:19:39.540 And by the way,

00:19:40.560 look,

00:19:40.840 at some level,

00:19:41.540 Ray had a stronger hand

00:19:43.340 in that if Ray is held

00:19:44.440 in contempt of Congress,

00:19:45.480 the next step,

00:19:49.200 a contempt holding

00:19:51.020 does not,

00:19:51.820 is not self-executing.

00:19:53.360 In order for Ray

00:19:54.660 to go to jail for that,

00:19:56.540 DOJ has to prosecute him.

00:19:57.980 And the chances

00:19:58.600 that the Biden DOJ

00:19:59.900 would prosecute Chris Ray

00:20:01.060 for contempt of Congress

00:20:02.320 are zero.

00:20:02.940 Zero.

00:20:03.680 No chance.

00:20:05.460 But at the same time,

00:20:06.820 look,

00:20:07.040 the FBI relies on subpoenas

00:20:08.520 all the time.

00:20:09.720 Like in a gazillion

00:20:10.960 different cases,

00:20:11.660 they're sending subpoenas out.

00:20:12.960 The FBI doesn't really want

00:20:16.280 the director of the FBI

00:20:17.620 held in contempt

00:20:19.100 for refusal to comply

00:20:20.380 with a subpoena.

00:20:21.500 That's a problem

00:20:22.460 for the FBI.

00:20:23.980 And Chris Ray,

00:20:25.560 Eric Holder

00:20:26.260 was held in contempt

00:20:27.100 of Congress

00:20:27.440 when he was Attorney General

00:20:28.740 and the Eric Holder DOJ

00:20:30.500 refused to prosecute him.

00:20:31.600 So there's a history

00:20:32.500 with Obama

00:20:33.540 of ignoring contempt findings.

00:20:36.860 You know,

00:20:37.220 Ray is not the partisan

00:20:38.480 that Holder is.

00:20:40.540 Chris Ray,

00:20:41.020 I think,

00:20:41.400 really wants to avoid

00:20:42.480 being held

00:20:42.960 in contempt of Congress.

00:20:43.940 He wouldn't wear it

00:20:44.860 as a badge of honor

00:20:46.000 in a way that Holder

00:20:47.040 was such a partisan

00:20:48.360 he was glad to do so.

00:20:50.980 That's why Ray blinked.

00:20:52.380 He's at least

00:20:52.880 providing this information.

00:20:55.340 What I don't know

00:20:56.400 is how bad

00:20:56.980 the information is.

00:20:58.100 The House is going

00:20:58.780 to try to make it public

00:20:59.800 and you may see

00:21:00.440 an escalation of this battle.

00:21:01.800 I want to ask you

00:21:02.440 one other question

00:21:03.040 about whistleblowers

00:21:03.780 and how important

00:21:04.360 they're becoming

00:21:04.860 because we're finding

00:21:05.840 all this out

00:21:06.340 from whistleblowers.

00:21:07.860 And before I get

00:21:08.900 your response to that,

00:21:09.860 I want to tell you

00:21:10.320 about our friends

00:21:10.700 at Augusta Precious Metals.

00:21:11.740 You know what's been

00:21:12.660 going on in the economy.

00:21:14.160 happening with interest rates.

00:21:15.160 You know what's been

00:21:15.600 happening with bank failures.

00:21:17.100 If you are in retirement,

00:21:18.840 you're close to retirement,

00:21:19.780 and you are just tired

00:21:21.540 of being stressed out,

00:21:23.020 you know that there's

00:21:24.120 not a lot of time

00:21:24.740 to make up losses.

00:21:26.300 That's why you should

00:21:27.340 call Augusta Precious Metals.

00:21:28.580 Now, I use them.

00:21:29.860 And the reason why

00:22:19.580 Lastly on this, Senator,

00:22:21.420 whistleblowers are becoming

00:22:22.900 a really big deal

00:22:24.300 and a big problem

00:22:26.160 for this White House.

00:22:28.980 They are risking their careers

00:22:30.380 when they come out

00:22:30.860 as whistleblowers.

00:22:31.780 Yet we're seeing this start

00:22:33.420 to get, I think,

00:22:34.180 some momentum

00:22:34.720 where people are becoming brave

00:22:36.740 because they're seeing

00:22:37.240 other people be brave.

00:22:38.580 This is all from

00:22:39.540 a whistleblower here.

00:22:41.100 How big of an issue

00:22:42.480 is this going to be

00:22:43.120 for the Biden administration

00:22:44.040 moving forward

00:22:44.800 and for the deep state?

00:22:46.280 Because we've never seen this,

00:22:47.420 at least in my lifetime,

00:22:48.760 never seen this many

00:22:49.940 whistleblowers come forward

00:22:51.060 with such big,

00:22:52.900 info.

00:22:53.700 Yeah, look,

00:22:54.120 I think it's going to become

00:22:54.940 bigger and bigger.

00:22:56.720 In part,

00:22:58.560 listen,

00:22:58.960 you look at what's happened

00:23:00.020 right now.

00:23:00.660 The FBI

00:23:01.200 has never been held

00:23:03.500 in such low regard

00:23:04.560 as it is right now.

00:23:06.500 The Department of Justice

00:23:07.880 has never been held

00:23:09.580 in such low regard

00:23:10.500 as it is right now.

00:23:12.300 That's actually

00:23:13.060 not good for America.

00:23:16.460 DOJ is incredibly

00:23:17.740 important to this country.

00:23:18.840 The FBI is incredibly

00:23:19.980 important to this country.

00:23:21.000 We want

00:23:22.080 a strong,

00:23:24.880 vibrant,

00:23:25.460 effective FBI

00:23:26.580 and DOJ

00:23:27.540 that is nonpartisan,

00:23:29.060 that's not a political weapon,

00:23:30.240 that's not targeting

00:23:31.100 the enemies of the White House,

00:23:32.520 that is

00:23:33.020 targeting bad guys,

00:23:35.500 that is

00:23:35.900 enforcing the law.

00:23:38.100 And I think

00:23:38.820 part of the reason

00:23:39.500 why we're seeing

00:23:40.140 whistleblowers come forward

00:23:41.320 is

00:23:41.620 there are

00:23:43.400 thousands

00:23:44.120 and thousands

00:23:45.460 of good,

00:23:47.280 honorable people

00:23:48.240 of patriots

00:23:49.240 who

00:23:50.800 sign up to be

00:23:52.280 in the FBI

00:23:52.900 or the DOJ.

00:23:54.060 You know,

00:23:54.240 Ben,

00:23:54.440 your dad's a cop.

00:23:55.860 Why'd your dad

00:23:56.460 sign up to be a cop?

00:23:57.260 Why did he sign up?

00:23:57.680 He wanted to keep people

00:23:58.300 safe in service country,

00:23:59.440 plain and simple.

00:24:00.180 There are thousands

00:24:01.040 of patriots

00:24:01.660 just like that

00:24:02.520 who say,

00:24:03.600 I want to be

00:24:03.940 an FBI agent.

00:24:05.120 What a great,

00:24:06.320 go after

00:24:07.500 drug traffickers,

00:24:08.580 go after terrorists,

00:24:09.760 go after kidnappers,

00:24:10.880 go after bank robbers.

00:24:12.000 I mean,

00:24:12.360 that's fun stuff.

00:24:14.040 That's important stuff.

00:24:16.060 Look,

00:24:16.580 my favorite show

00:24:18.080 on TV

00:24:18.540 is Criminal Minds.

00:24:19.480 I love,

00:24:20.720 you know,

00:24:21.220 the BAU

00:24:21.820 going after serial killers.

00:24:23.400 That stuff's awesome.

00:24:24.240 Heidi hates it,

00:24:24.840 by the way.

00:24:25.840 Absolutely hates it.

00:24:26.800 I turn it on TV.

00:24:28.160 And it's,

00:24:28.560 look,

00:24:28.780 you're dealing

00:24:29.120 with crazy psychopaths

00:24:30.400 who are,

00:24:30.740 you know,

00:24:31.100 eating someone's liver.

00:24:32.260 Like it's,

00:24:33.020 you know,

00:24:33.540 with fava beans.

00:24:34.500 I mean,

00:24:34.760 it's,

00:24:35.320 she's like,

00:24:37.200 why is that evil

00:24:38.260 and darkness

00:24:38.740 coming into our house?

00:24:39.640 I'm like,

00:24:39.840 no, no, no.

00:24:40.260 I'm rooting for the good guys.

00:24:41.320 They're catching.

00:24:42.440 Yeah.

00:24:42.920 But,

00:24:43.640 the FBI does incredible work

00:24:46.760 in lots of different areas.

00:24:50.680 As it,

00:24:51.580 the politicization

00:24:52.520 has gotten more breason,

00:24:54.640 there are thousands of people

00:24:56.780 within those agencies

00:24:57.660 who are horrified.

00:24:58.940 I talk to

00:24:59.880 AUSAs,

00:25:01.080 Assistant U.S. Attorneys,

00:25:02.720 who are really concerned.

00:25:04.560 They don't like

00:25:05.400 that DOJ

00:25:06.340 acts like

00:25:07.740 it's part of the DNC.

00:25:09.200 They don't like

00:25:09.760 that the FBI

00:25:10.560 has such an obvious

00:25:12.600 double standard

00:25:13.300 that it's laughable.

00:25:14.820 And so,

00:25:15.080 I think you're going to see

00:25:15.760 more whistleblowers

00:25:16.820 of people who believe

00:25:18.120 in the mission

00:25:18.880 of the agency

00:25:20.080 and they're offended

00:25:21.300 that these cynical partisans

00:25:24.520 are willing to destroy it

00:25:26.280 to achieve a political end.

00:25:28.100 Yeah,

00:25:28.300 great point there.

00:25:29.020 It's going to be interesting

00:25:29.520 to see how this unfolds.

00:25:30.940 We're obviously going to cover it

00:25:32.360 on Verdict

00:25:32.860 and let everybody know

00:25:34.060 how this moves forward

00:25:35.540 after this document comes out.

00:25:36.740 I do want to get something else.

00:25:37.920 And by the way,

00:25:38.520 for the record,

00:25:39.200 this podcast today

00:25:40.420 has already covered

00:25:42.160 the topic more

00:25:43.080 than CNN will in a year.

00:25:45.220 Yeah.

00:25:45.740 One podcast.

00:25:46.520 Throw in MSNBC in there as well.

00:25:47.940 That might be in a decade.

00:25:49.460 You know,

00:25:49.720 if they had viewers,

00:25:50.560 you might know about it.

00:25:52.320 Canadian women

00:25:53.080 are looking for more.

00:25:54.420 More out of themselves,

00:25:55.480 their businesses,

00:25:56.420 their elected leaders,

00:25:57.380 and the world around them.

00:25:58.580 And that's why

00:25:59.060 we're thrilled to introduce

00:26:00.200 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:26:02.300 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:26:05.900 we interview Canada's

00:26:06.860 most inspiring women.

00:26:08.520 Entrepreneurs,

00:26:10.460 politicians,

00:26:11.180 and newsmakers,

00:26:12.060 all at different stages

00:26:13.100 of their journey.

00:26:14.240 So if you're looking to connect,

00:26:16.040 then we hope you'll join us.

00:26:17.460 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast

00:26:18.840 on iHeartRadio

00:26:20.820 to your podcasts.

00:26:23.040 You and I,

00:26:24.020 I wish sometimes

00:26:25.000 people could see

00:26:25.520 our text threads.

00:26:26.540 I try not to send you something

00:26:28.760 unless it's,

00:26:29.660 to me,

00:26:30.140 shocking.

00:26:31.240 Over the weekend,

00:26:32.140 I was looking

00:26:33.580 at different podcasts.

00:26:34.680 I was scrolling through.

00:26:36.480 And there's a

00:26:37.420 New York Times podcast

00:26:38.780 that's very popular

00:26:39.920 called The Daily.

00:26:41.440 It usually ranks

00:26:42.080 at the top

00:26:42.540 of the podcast charts.

00:26:44.020 But there was a title

00:26:45.140 that I saw

00:26:45.800 that shocked me

00:26:46.520 and I sent it to you

00:26:47.280 and I was like,

00:26:47.720 you gotta see this.

00:26:48.420 By the way,

00:26:48.780 as you know,

00:26:49.420 Verdict has beaten The Daily

00:26:50.620 more than once.

00:26:51.460 Yes,

00:26:51.780 which makes me

00:26:52.620 very, very happy.

00:26:53.880 This one, though,

00:26:55.040 the title of this,

00:26:56.320 and I want to throw it up there

00:26:57.240 with the first audio clip

00:26:58.220 because I want people

00:26:59.100 to understand

00:26:59.920 the context

00:27:01.640 of what they were doing

00:27:02.640 which was basically saying

00:27:03.840 the Republican Party

00:27:05.900 chose a war

00:27:07.580 on transgenderism

00:27:09.780 which is not

00:27:10.960 the case at all.

00:27:12.480 And their title

00:27:13.780 they had was

00:27:14.460 How the GOP

00:27:15.520 Pick Trans Kids

00:27:17.160 as a Rallying Cry.

00:27:19.280 Now,

00:27:19.540 before we play the audio,

00:27:21.160 I want people

00:27:21.960 to understand

00:27:22.720 one thing,

00:27:23.420 Senator,

00:27:23.580 and that is

00:27:24.020 we didn't pick it

00:27:25.580 as a rallying cry.

00:27:27.060 We saw the abuse

00:27:28.060 of children

00:27:28.760 at the hands

00:27:29.860 of these activists

00:27:31.120 and surgeons

00:27:32.960 at places like Vanderbilt

00:27:34.160 that are mutilating

00:27:34.960 children at very young ages

00:27:36.680 doing things

00:27:37.220 that you can never reverse

00:27:38.740 and talking about

00:27:40.480 they're making millions

00:27:41.380 like we should be

00:27:42.180 getting into this

00:27:43.000 because we're making

00:27:43.560 so much money

00:27:44.120 acting almost like

00:27:45.280 they're drug dealers

00:27:46.180 at that point

00:27:46.680 like, hey,

00:27:47.100 once we grab them

00:27:48.020 they need us for life

00:27:49.440 they gotta have hormones

00:27:50.460 they gotta have this

00:27:51.140 they gotta have this

00:27:51.640 this is a seven figure deal

00:27:53.340 for us

00:27:53.740 grab as many of these kids

00:27:54.860 as you can bring in here.

00:27:56.040 We didn't pick this

00:27:57.740 we started defending children

00:28:00.120 and yet the New York Times

00:28:01.880 in their big podcast

00:28:02.960 actually says

00:28:03.540 there was some scheme

00:28:04.780 behind closed doors

00:28:05.700 for conservatives

00:28:06.880 to use this

00:28:07.760 as a rallying cry

00:28:08.720 to get votes.

00:28:10.280 Yeah, it's interesting

00:28:11.280 so you texted this podcast

00:28:13.020 to me

00:28:13.500 I'd actually seen the title

00:28:15.460 now I don't listen

00:28:16.120 to the Daily

00:28:16.580 I have no interest

00:28:17.360 in listening to what

00:28:18.140 the New York Times

00:28:18.900 dissembles in line.

00:28:19.900 This is the first time

00:28:20.380 I've ever listened

00:28:20.880 by the way.

00:28:22.640 But I do look

00:28:23.520 at the podcast charts

00:28:24.540 and this was

00:28:26.120 the number one

00:28:27.060 podcast episode

00:28:28.220 in the country

00:28:28.700 so I saw the title

00:28:29.820 before you sent it to me

00:28:31.700 I had seen it earlier

00:28:32.540 in the day

00:28:32.980 and it was the number one

00:28:33.820 episode

00:28:34.420 earlier

00:28:36.440 this past week

00:28:37.520 and I will tell you

00:28:39.520 I cursed out loud

00:28:40.380 I literally saw the title

00:28:41.860 and it made me

00:28:42.880 curse out loud

00:28:43.620 like wait

00:28:44.360 how the GOP

00:28:45.320 picked trans kids

00:28:46.180 as a rallying cry

00:28:47.000 we didn't pick them

00:28:48.480 you lunatics

00:28:49.780 started cutting

00:28:50.620 their genitals off

00:28:51.760 like

00:28:52.540 they're calling it

00:28:53.540 healthcare

00:28:53.860 this is Marxism

00:28:55.900 perfectly captured

00:28:57.860 they start this

00:29:00.100 new phenomenon

00:29:00.840 let's take little kids

00:29:02.780 8, 9, 10 year olds

00:29:03.820 let's cut their genitals

00:29:04.800 off

00:29:05.100 let's sterilize them

00:29:06.140 make them never able

00:29:06.880 to have babies

00:29:07.500 and then

00:29:08.520 we'll say

00:29:09.840 how did you guys

00:29:10.800 pick this issue

00:29:11.740 we'll stop doing this

00:29:13.780 and we won't make it

00:29:14.500 an issue

00:29:14.940 like it is

00:29:16.080 it is the most

00:29:17.460 perverse

00:29:18.440 Freudian projection

00:29:21.080 slash jujitsu

00:29:22.560 you could imagine

00:29:24.460 where they engage

00:29:26.440 in conduct

00:29:27.100 that is shocking

00:29:28.400 go back

00:29:30.220 through any period

00:29:32.040 of human history

00:29:33.020 3 years ago

00:29:34.500 10 years ago

00:29:35.760 50 years ago

00:29:37.040 100 years ago

00:29:38.500 500 years ago

00:29:40.060 1000 years ago

00:29:41.600 2000 years ago

00:29:43.200 alright 2000 years ago

00:29:44.440 the the the

00:29:45.120 when Jesus walked the earth

00:29:46.820 you walked up to people

00:29:48.620 you walked up to the Romans

00:29:49.820 in Jerusalem

00:29:50.440 said hey

00:29:50.960 what do you think

00:29:52.260 of the idea

00:29:52.860 of cutting the genitals

00:29:53.740 off 8 year old kids

00:29:54.840 they'd say you're insane

00:29:57.540 yes

00:29:58.040 and they might

00:29:59.980 well crucify you

00:30:01.000 like

00:30:01.720 this has been

00:30:02.800 a lunatic idea

00:30:04.180 for the entire

00:30:06.320 existence

00:30:07.140 of the human race

00:30:08.300 until about

00:30:09.960 the last

00:30:10.420 36 months

00:30:11.620 when a bunch

00:30:13.320 of

00:30:13.860 reality

00:30:15.120 denying

00:30:15.880 zealots

00:30:16.580 decided it was

00:30:17.780 a good idea

00:30:18.560 and what

00:30:19.420 is the old

00:30:20.120 gray lady

00:30:20.820 the New York

00:30:21.400 Times

00:30:21.900 the paper

00:30:22.500 of record

00:30:23.060 say

00:30:23.500 oh

00:30:24.140 conservatives

00:30:25.400 invented this

00:30:26.260 issue

00:30:26.640 no

00:30:27.860 it wasn't

00:30:28.520 an issue

00:30:29.100 until

00:30:30.280 you started

00:30:31.520 doing something

00:30:32.520 truly

00:30:33.500 horrifying

00:30:34.680 all right

00:30:34.920 play this

00:30:35.280 first clip

00:30:35.740 I think

00:30:36.420 for some

00:30:36.860 on the

00:30:37.120 right

00:30:37.360 this was

00:30:38.060 a matter

00:30:38.440 of genuine

00:30:39.040 concern

00:30:39.620 but there

00:30:40.860 were some

00:30:41.360 where this

00:30:41.660 was also

00:30:42.220 a political

00:30:42.960 decision

00:30:43.440 or a calculated

00:30:44.140 decision

00:30:44.560 they saw this

00:30:45.680 as a potent

00:30:46.240 issue

00:30:46.660 and they began

00:30:47.900 to realize

00:30:48.500 that this

00:30:48.900 could replace

00:30:49.560 gay marriage

00:30:50.260 as something

00:30:50.700 that could help

00:30:51.300 them organize

00:30:52.280 raise money

00:30:53.460 get attention

00:30:54.460 become relevant

00:30:55.600 okay

00:30:56.480 become relevant

00:30:57.360 so you gotta

00:30:57.820 understand

00:30:58.340 look

00:30:59.380 the New York

00:30:59.860 Times

00:31:00.380 they're in

00:31:01.060 Manhattan

00:31:01.560 they're

00:31:03.060 all

00:31:03.960 little

00:31:04.400 Marxists

00:31:05.080 they're all

00:31:05.820 woke

00:31:06.340 they all

00:31:06.840 think this

00:31:07.360 is a

00:31:07.720 wonderful

00:31:08.200 thing

00:31:08.600 and they

00:31:10.800 think anyone

00:31:11.260 who disagrees

00:31:11.880 with them

00:31:12.260 is truly

00:31:12.740 a nutbag

00:31:13.600 by the way

00:31:14.220 they look

00:31:14.660 at 49

00:31:15.160 states

00:31:15.720 and they

00:31:16.720 think

00:31:16.940 probably

00:31:17.380 46

00:31:17.940 of them

00:31:18.320 are insane

00:31:18.780 they might

00:31:19.360 acknowledge

00:31:20.380 California

00:31:21.740 New Jersey

00:31:23.420 and may

00:31:24.240 well

00:31:24.720 for New Yorkers

00:31:25.800 to even admit

00:31:26.280 New Jersey

00:31:26.700 exists

00:31:27.000 is hard

00:31:27.500 the Connecticut

00:31:28.920 they might

00:31:29.400 be able to do

00:31:30.020 they might

00:31:30.360 say Greenwich

00:31:31.040 is okay

00:31:31.960 but most

00:31:33.500 of the country

00:31:34.200 they think

00:31:34.740 we're a bunch

00:31:35.260 of Neanderthals

00:31:36.060 and rubes

00:31:36.940 and apparently

00:31:38.120 the only way

00:31:38.980 to become

00:31:39.400 relevant

00:31:39.860 is to be

00:31:41.560 upset

00:31:42.120 at the

00:31:42.620 insanity

00:31:43.180 of what

00:31:43.620 they're doing

00:31:44.020 but listen

00:31:44.600 to the second

00:31:45.140 clip

00:31:45.440 you know

00:31:46.060 I don't

00:31:46.360 think we

00:31:46.740 should assume

00:31:47.340 that some

00:31:48.100 of these

00:31:48.320 gay rights

00:31:48.760 groups

00:31:49.020 would

00:31:49.420 automatically

00:31:50.240 move

00:31:50.960 to trans

00:31:51.800 issues

00:31:52.180 at the same

00:31:53.020 time

00:31:53.640 once that

00:31:54.400 court made

00:31:54.780 a decision

00:31:55.200 they were

00:31:56.000 without an

00:31:56.480 issue

00:31:56.720 that they

00:31:57.020 had used

00:31:57.540 to organize

00:31:58.920 and to raise

00:31:59.680 money

00:31:59.980 and to rally

00:32:00.780 support

00:32:01.360 for years

00:32:01.960 so they

00:32:03.100 needed to

00:32:03.440 kind of figure

00:32:03.880 out what

00:32:04.180 to do

00:32:04.420 next

00:32:04.760 and you

00:32:05.920 could see

00:32:06.620 this sort

00:32:07.460 of trend

00:32:08.160 toward embracing

00:32:09.300 trans issues

00:32:10.380 and it began

00:32:11.220 around then

00:32:11.900 so this is an

00:32:12.920 interesting moment

00:32:13.700 when the New York

00:32:15.220 Times accidentally

00:32:16.660 has a brief

00:32:17.480 instance of

00:32:18.080 honesty

00:32:18.440 because what

00:32:20.420 they acknowledged

00:32:21.080 is and I

00:32:22.060 talked about

00:32:22.640 before the

00:32:23.200 jujitsu

00:32:23.660 this is true

00:32:24.500 of the

00:32:24.740 left

00:32:24.980 what they

00:32:26.540 are doing

00:32:27.340 they accuse

00:32:29.300 the other

00:32:29.840 side of

00:32:30.560 doing

00:32:30.820 it's straight

00:32:31.940 out of

00:32:32.200 Saul Alinsky

00:32:32.780 but for

00:32:36.180 just a

00:32:36.820 moment

00:32:37.240 that lefty

00:32:38.660 reporter

00:32:39.020 acknowledged

00:32:39.500 gosh these

00:32:40.100 gay rights

00:32:40.740 organizations

00:32:41.640 had a business

00:32:43.000 model

00:32:43.380 they had a

00:32:44.340 business model

00:32:45.060 that raised

00:32:45.540 money

00:32:45.880 they raised

00:32:46.760 money and it

00:32:47.320 was a fight

00:32:47.800 over gay

00:32:48.260 marriage

00:32:48.640 fight to give

00:32:49.940 to gay

00:32:50.240 marriage

00:32:50.540 give us

00:32:50.960 money

00:32:51.240 pay our

00:32:51.800 bills

00:32:52.060 by the

00:32:52.420 way

00:32:52.600 we want

00:32:52.980 to live

00:32:53.240 really nice

00:32:53.720 lifestyles

00:32:54.320 off the

00:32:54.640 money you

00:32:54.980 give

00:32:55.360 we're going

00:32:55.920 to fight

00:32:56.200 for gay

00:32:56.600 marriage

00:32:56.980 hurrah

00:32:57.360 hurrah

00:32:57.680 hurrah

00:32:58.080 well

00:32:58.400 goes to the

00:32:59.420 supreme court

00:33:00.040 supreme court

00:33:00.580 decides

00:33:01.020 Obergefell

00:33:01.980 and suddenly

00:33:03.180 gay marriage

00:33:03.640 is the law

00:33:04.020 of the land

00:33:04.380 in all 50

00:33:04.860 states

00:33:05.160 and they're

00:33:05.620 sitting there

00:33:06.120 and that's

00:33:06.380 what the New York

00:33:06.720 Times just

00:33:07.100 acknowledged

00:33:07.520 going oh crap

00:33:08.560 what's next

00:33:09.380 our whole issue

00:33:10.380 that exists

00:33:11.380 for us

00:33:12.200 we just

00:33:13.380 won on

00:33:13.980 so

00:33:14.860 if that's

00:33:16.400 actually what

00:33:16.940 we're about

00:33:17.560 we ought to

00:33:18.080 pack up our

00:33:18.740 stuff and go

00:33:19.680 home and tell

00:33:20.240 all of our

00:33:20.880 donors go

00:33:21.440 give to

00:33:21.780 something else

00:33:22.360 because you

00:33:23.220 got what you

00:33:23.680 wanted but

00:33:25.060 that's not

00:33:25.980 if you're a

00:33:26.700 grifter

00:33:27.040 yeah you

00:33:28.140 got a

00:33:28.440 grift and

00:33:29.400 so what the

00:33:30.040 New York

00:33:30.280 Times is

00:33:30.760 acknowledging is

00:33:31.520 they said

00:33:31.820 okay well

00:33:32.460 we got what

00:33:34.540 we wanted on

00:33:35.080 gay marriage

00:33:35.600 so let's

00:33:36.120 move to

00:33:36.560 trans stuff

00:33:37.300 because trans

00:33:38.160 stuff that's

00:33:39.580 the next issue

00:33:40.600 we can energize

00:33:42.100 and create

00:33:42.920 and then it

00:33:45.120 became a

00:33:45.600 political movement

00:33:46.440 and then

00:33:48.260 in significant

00:33:49.360 part because

00:33:50.200 the left

00:33:50.720 controls

00:33:51.420 entertainment

00:33:52.120 and journalism

00:33:53.140 it became

00:33:55.660 evidence of

00:33:56.760 virtue

00:33:57.280 it became

00:33:58.760 evidence of

00:33:59.460 how enlightened

00:34:00.240 you are

00:34:00.880 like if you

00:34:02.040 think there's

00:34:02.780 a problem

00:34:03.600 with severing

00:34:05.600 the healthy

00:34:06.100 genitals of

00:34:06.780 a child

00:34:07.400 clearly you're

00:34:09.500 the problem

00:34:10.000 because we've

00:34:11.860 decided this

00:34:12.780 is the essence

00:34:13.880 of being

00:34:15.160 sensitive

00:34:15.820 and woke

00:34:18.400 and as the

00:34:21.060 New York

00:34:21.320 Times said

00:34:21.900 this was all

00:34:22.460 a business

00:34:22.840 model

00:34:23.160 I think one

00:34:24.220 of the other

00:34:24.480 shocking things

00:34:25.220 that they

00:34:25.660 said here

00:34:26.220 or they

00:34:26.720 implied is

00:34:27.480 that there

00:34:27.740 was a bunch

00:34:28.120 of conservatives

00:34:28.620 in a room

00:34:29.240 you've run

00:34:30.780 for office

00:34:31.300 you've worked

00:34:31.960 on campaigns

00:34:32.680 as well

00:34:33.140 the idea

00:34:35.500 that Republicans

00:34:36.260 were sitting

00:34:36.800 in a room

00:34:37.220 somewhere

00:34:37.640 and saying

00:34:38.240 all right

00:34:38.720 let's figure

00:34:40.060 out a way

00:34:40.560 to fundraise

00:34:41.220 over trans

00:34:42.800 kids

00:34:43.280 trans

00:34:44.400 bathrooms

00:34:45.120 trans

00:34:46.020 ideology

00:34:46.500 in public

00:34:46.920 schools

00:34:47.220 and indoctrination

00:34:48.180 it's impossible

00:34:49.840 to have that

00:34:50.600 conversation

00:34:51.260 because the

00:34:53.220 other side

00:34:53.900 would have

00:34:54.440 to do all

00:34:55.100 those things

00:34:55.560 to even

00:34:55.920 have that

00:34:56.920 conversation

00:34:57.560 you couldn't

00:34:58.140 control that

00:34:59.200 the way that

00:35:00.160 they're trying

00:35:00.580 to imply here

00:35:01.140 which is that

00:35:01.620 the GOP

00:35:03.220 did this

00:35:03.840 out of thin

00:35:04.400 air

00:35:04.580 no

00:35:04.900 you actually

00:35:06.220 had activists

00:35:07.280 doing this

00:35:08.100 look at

00:35:08.860 even gay pride

00:35:09.860 month

00:35:10.060 it's no longer

00:35:10.460 a month

00:35:10.780 it's two

00:35:11.140 months

00:35:11.480 we know that

00:35:12.040 from what

00:35:12.400 just happened

00:35:12.800 at Target

00:35:13.280 they started

00:35:14.340 putting everything

00:35:15.100 in the stores

00:35:15.660 before it was

00:35:17.120 gay pride

00:35:17.640 month

00:35:17.920 well here

00:35:18.320 play this

00:35:18.800 next clip

00:35:19.280 because this

00:35:19.660 is where

00:35:20.000 they engage

00:35:20.740 in their

00:35:21.060 sort of

00:35:21.580 fantasy

00:35:22.820 about what's

00:35:23.440 going on

00:35:23.780 on the

00:35:23.960 other side

00:35:24.400 I guess

00:35:25.260 the issue

00:35:26.120 of bathrooms

00:35:26.880 just wasn't

00:35:27.580 resonating

00:35:28.100 with the

00:35:28.400 public

00:35:28.660 at least

00:35:29.060 at the

00:35:29.740 time

00:35:30.180 so some

00:35:30.920 conservative

00:35:31.360 strategists

00:35:32.200 began

00:35:32.840 looking around

00:35:33.800 for other

00:35:34.880 ways to

00:35:35.460 frame

00:35:36.140 transgender

00:35:37.040 rights

00:35:37.560 as an

00:35:38.340 issue

00:35:38.580 that could

00:35:38.920 be winning

00:35:39.660 for the

00:35:39.960 Republican

00:35:40.240 Party

00:35:40.660 so what's

00:35:41.520 funny

00:35:41.780 about

00:35:42.080 this

00:35:42.480 and

00:35:42.720 let's

00:35:44.040 go back

00:35:44.380 to the

00:35:44.620 projection

00:35:45.060 so a

00:35:46.880 minute ago

00:35:47.240 he just

00:35:47.640 admitted

00:35:47.920 the gay

00:35:48.220 rights

00:35:48.480 group

00:35:48.820 needed a

00:35:50.200 reason to

00:35:50.640 exist

00:35:51.000 and needed

00:35:51.360 a business

00:35:51.780 model

00:35:52.100 so they

00:35:52.420 decided to

00:35:52.900 embrace

00:35:53.300 the trans

00:35:53.780 issues

00:35:54.160 in order

00:35:54.720 to keep

00:35:54.980 raising

00:35:55.240 money

00:35:55.500 they're

00:35:57.480 envisioning

00:35:58.420 some

00:35:59.040 nefarious

00:36:01.000 Republican

00:36:01.780 strategist

00:36:02.640 in a

00:36:02.980 smoke-filled

00:36:03.600 room

00:36:04.160 saying

00:36:05.000 who they

00:36:05.320 don't

00:36:05.580 name

00:36:05.900 this is

00:36:07.140 the issue

00:36:07.760 the campaign

00:36:08.820 against

00:36:09.620 transgender

00:36:10.380 rights

00:36:11.080 has mobilized

00:36:12.040 conservatives

00:36:12.680 now they

00:36:13.100 don't name

00:36:13.480 them

00:36:13.600 they don't

00:36:13.960 know who

00:36:14.160 it is

00:36:14.480 either

00:36:14.800 yeah

00:36:15.260 and they're

00:36:16.340 making it

00:36:16.880 up

00:36:17.040 here's

00:36:17.320 here's

00:36:17.600 the dirty

00:36:17.940 little

00:36:18.180 secret

00:36:18.600 most

00:36:20.220 Republican

00:36:20.680 office

00:36:21.060 holders

00:36:21.420 are terrified

00:36:23.200 to talk

00:36:23.700 about this

00:36:24.300 I serve in

00:36:25.360 the United

00:36:25.700 States Senate

00:36:26.320 I serve

00:36:26.800 with 48

00:36:27.340 other

00:36:27.640 Republicans

00:36:28.200 40 of

00:36:30.000 them

00:36:30.340 wouldn't

00:36:31.900 bring this

00:36:32.360 topic up

00:36:32.960 if you

00:36:33.180 put a gun

00:36:33.600 to their

00:36:33.860 head

00:36:34.140 they want

00:36:35.760 to talk

00:36:36.120 about

00:36:36.320 slightly

00:36:36.620 reducing

00:36:37.020 capital

00:36:37.440 gains

00:36:37.760 taxes

00:36:38.180 and not

00:36:38.640 really

00:36:38.860 ticking

00:36:39.180 off

00:36:39.440 the

00:36:39.580 chamber

00:36:39.820 of

00:36:39.980 commerce

00:36:40.360 that's

00:36:41.840 actually

00:36:42.420 the bulk

00:36:42.940 of our

00:36:43.200 Republican

00:36:43.620 party

00:36:44.080 is it

00:36:45.280 is still

00:36:45.820 people who

00:36:46.400 are afraid

00:36:46.840 of their

00:36:47.160 own

00:36:47.380 shadows

00:36:47.780 so the

00:36:48.380 idea

00:36:48.760 that it

00:36:49.060 was some

00:36:49.600 political

00:36:50.120 strategist

00:36:50.820 that came

00:36:51.180 up with

00:36:51.720 this

00:36:51.940 is insane

00:36:53.000 frankly

00:36:53.520 the people

00:36:54.420 talking about

00:36:55.260 this

00:36:55.700 are a

00:36:58.120 handful of

00:36:58.820 journalists

00:36:59.180 and activists

00:36:59.760 people like

00:37:00.200 Matt Walsh

00:37:00.720 Matt Walsh

00:37:01.300 has done

00:37:01.740 heroic

00:37:02.760 efforts

00:37:03.580 exposing

00:37:05.340 what's

00:37:05.900 what's

00:37:06.220 going on

00:37:06.600 libs of

00:37:07.000 TikTok

00:37:07.320 yeah

00:37:07.920 has done

00:37:08.640 heroic

00:37:09.280 efforts

00:37:09.900 exposing

00:37:10.520 what's

00:37:10.880 going on

00:37:11.520 and then

00:37:12.380 folks like

00:37:12.880 you and

00:37:13.140 me

00:37:13.380 who are

00:37:14.500 talking

00:37:14.860 about it

00:37:15.400 but to

00:37:15.760 be honest

00:37:16.340 not only

00:37:17.220 is there

00:37:17.600 not this

00:37:18.200 mysterious

00:37:18.720 Republican

00:37:19.360 strategist

00:37:20.500 almost

00:37:21.960 all the

00:37:22.380 Republican

00:37:22.780 strategists

00:37:23.360 are like

00:37:23.600 no no no

00:37:23.940 please don't

00:37:24.260 talk about

00:37:24.620 these issues

00:37:25.120 please don't

00:37:26.120 talk about

00:37:26.540 them

00:37:26.640 we're scared

00:37:27.160 of them

00:37:27.540 so they

00:37:28.640 are

00:37:29.040 the New York

00:37:30.420 Times just

00:37:30.920 acknowledged that

00:37:31.740 on the left

00:37:32.320 it is a

00:37:32.760 business model

00:37:33.400 decision

00:37:33.820 the irony

00:37:34.340 is on the

00:37:34.820 right

00:37:35.120 everyone engaged

00:37:36.460 in the

00:37:36.660 business model

00:37:37.220 is saying

00:37:37.560 don't get

00:37:38.080 anywhere near

00:37:38.620 this

00:37:39.020 and I

00:37:40.480 gotta say

00:37:41.020 look

00:37:41.320 my view

00:37:43.440 is very

00:37:43.840 simple

00:37:44.260 which is

00:37:46.220 we should

00:37:46.940 protect

00:37:47.500 children

00:37:48.140 and no

00:37:49.480 child

00:37:50.100 no 8

00:37:50.760 year old

00:37:51.140 no 9

00:37:51.680 year old

00:37:52.020 no 10

00:37:52.500 year old

00:37:53.000 has the

00:37:54.400 emotional

00:37:55.020 maturity

00:37:55.600 to make

00:37:56.240 a decision

00:37:56.960 that is

00:37:58.780 life altering

00:37:59.600 and actually

00:38:01.740 I want to

00:38:02.000 elaborate on

00:38:02.600 that but

00:38:02.900 let's play

00:38:03.240 the last

00:38:03.660 clip because

00:38:04.220 the last

00:38:04.680 clip will

00:38:05.600 set up

00:38:06.040 the

00:38:06.180 elaboration

00:38:06.820 yeah so

00:38:07.660 they realized

00:38:08.160 that there

00:38:08.460 was a

00:38:08.740 power

00:38:09.260 to the

00:38:10.260 issue

00:38:10.600 of fairness

00:38:11.420 in sports

00:38:12.220 and to

00:38:12.960 the medical

00:38:13.420 issue

00:38:13.840 like should

00:38:14.940 trans

00:38:15.940 teenagers

00:38:16.660 minors

00:38:17.360 have

00:38:18.060 access to

00:38:18.620 what's

00:38:18.920 known as

00:38:19.300 gender

00:38:19.680 affirming

00:38:20.160 care

00:38:20.480 what I

00:38:20.840 mean by

00:38:21.120 that

00:38:21.460 is a

00:38:22.400 range of

00:38:22.760 treatments

00:38:23.120 that can

00:38:23.600 include

00:38:23.960 mental health

00:38:24.540 support

00:38:24.940 hormone

00:38:25.600 therapy

00:38:26.240 puberty

00:38:26.940 blockers

00:38:27.540 and in

00:38:27.880 rare cases

00:38:28.600 surgery

00:38:29.240 rare cases

00:38:30.460 not what

00:38:32.320 they're trying

00:38:32.600 to do

00:38:32.920 play the

00:38:33.240 next clip

00:38:33.700 because let's

00:38:34.180 see how

00:38:34.480 rare the

00:38:34.820 cases are

00:38:35.240 they say

00:38:35.560 rare cases

00:38:36.160 so keep

00:38:36.500 playing

00:38:36.820 I think

00:38:37.420 the reason

00:38:37.800 the numbers

00:38:38.140 are growing

00:38:38.540 is because

00:38:39.000 in some

00:38:39.540 parts of

00:38:40.020 the country

00:38:40.460 it's more

00:38:41.480 acceptable

00:38:41.960 to come

00:38:42.520 out as

00:38:42.800 transgender

00:38:43.280 and care

00:38:45.180 is more

00:38:46.020 accessible

00:38:46.480 and medical

00:38:47.660 professionals

00:38:48.220 will tell

00:38:48.600 you that

00:38:49.040 kids do

00:38:50.100 need this

00:38:50.700 kind of

00:38:51.060 treatment

00:38:51.380 at this

00:38:52.100 point in

00:38:52.480 their life

00:38:52.920 when there

00:38:53.260 are a lot

00:38:53.580 of changes

00:38:54.020 going on

00:38:54.560 in their

00:38:54.760 bodies

00:38:55.140 and it

00:38:56.240 makes sense

00:38:56.840 from that

00:38:57.320 perspective

00:38:57.740 to delay

00:38:58.640 some of

00:38:58.960 these changes

00:38:59.420 until these

00:39:00.760 minors can

00:39:01.520 come to

00:39:02.220 terms with

00:39:02.680 what exactly

00:39:03.140 they want

00:39:03.480 to do

00:39:03.880 in terms

00:39:04.520 of transition

00:39:05.100 and we're

00:39:06.500 not talking

00:39:07.360 about many

00:39:07.920 kids getting

00:39:08.540 medical treatment

00:39:09.240 the best

00:39:09.800 numbers we

00:39:10.440 have show

00:39:10.840 that maybe

00:39:11.300 4,000 kids

00:39:12.280 began hormone

00:39:12.980 therapy in

00:39:13.640 2021

00:39:14.080 but it

00:39:15.180 was going

00:39:15.640 on and

00:39:16.280 it's caught

00:39:16.860 the eye

00:39:17.220 of conservatives

00:39:17.760 and they're

00:39:19.020 uncomfortable

00:39:19.420 with the idea

00:39:20.140 of trans

00:39:20.640 people in

00:39:21.200 general

00:39:21.500 and they're

00:39:22.260 uncomfortable

00:39:22.700 with the idea

00:39:23.320 of kids

00:39:23.740 transitioning

00:39:24.320 so it

00:39:26.040 made sense

00:39:26.800 you know

00:39:27.360 both for a

00:39:28.060 policy perspective

00:39:28.960 and from a

00:39:29.540 political

00:39:29.900 perspective

00:39:30.400 that Republicans

00:39:31.540 seized on

00:39:32.360 trans youth

00:39:33.240 as an issue

00:39:34.120 so I'll tell you

00:39:35.060 what I'm

00:39:35.340 uncomfortable

00:39:35.720 with I'm

00:39:36.200 uncomfortable

00:39:36.540 with a bunch

00:39:37.180 of sadistic

00:39:38.340 Marxists

00:39:39.100 sterilizing

00:39:40.040 and mutilating

00:39:40.720 children

00:39:41.200 and there's

00:39:42.300 so much

00:39:42.940 in what the

00:39:43.300 New York

00:39:43.520 Times said

00:39:44.060 that just

00:39:44.860 frankly infuriates

00:39:45.960 me

00:39:46.220 so one of

00:39:47.420 the things

00:39:47.800 they said

00:39:48.160 is well

00:39:48.700 there's a

00:39:50.060 range of

00:39:50.780 treatment

00:39:51.180 that is

00:39:51.560 gender

00:39:52.260 affirming

00:39:53.000 care

00:39:53.440 and boy

00:39:53.880 the left

00:39:54.260 is good

00:39:54.580 at euphemisms

00:39:55.320 affirming

00:39:56.620 is good

00:39:57.140 and wouldn't

00:39:57.880 you want

00:39:58.220 something

00:39:58.500 that affirms

00:39:59.020 your gender

00:39:59.460 you're a man

00:40:00.000 let's affirm

00:40:00.580 your gender

00:40:01.120 like that

00:40:01.920 seems wonderfully

00:40:03.060 positive

00:40:03.700 and it is

00:40:05.520 language that

00:40:07.280 would make

00:40:07.620 George Orwell

00:40:08.160 blush

00:40:08.580 because it

00:40:10.580 is the

00:40:10.820 opposite

00:40:11.140 of gender

00:40:11.600 affirming

00:40:12.060 it is

00:40:12.740 trying to

00:40:13.360 medically

00:40:13.820 alter

00:40:14.780 the gender

00:40:15.500 that you

00:40:15.920 are

00:40:16.240 and then

00:40:17.320 he gave

00:40:18.300 a list

00:40:18.640 of options

00:40:19.120 and the

00:40:19.340 first he

00:40:19.680 said was

00:40:20.020 counseling

00:40:20.420 okay fine

00:40:20.980 everyone's

00:40:21.620 for counseling

00:40:22.100 like if a

00:40:22.560 kid's

00:40:22.840 troubled

00:40:23.160 they ought

00:40:24.400 to have

00:40:24.620 counselors

00:40:24.980 they ought

00:40:25.280 to have

00:40:25.400 a therapist

00:40:25.800 that's

00:40:26.560 a fairly

00:40:26.980 mild

00:40:27.320 so he

00:40:27.600 starts off

00:40:28.300 with oh

00:40:29.020 yeah

00:40:29.280 yeah that's

00:40:29.820 real

00:40:30.040 then he

00:40:30.520 says hormone

00:40:31.040 treatments

00:40:31.500 and puberty

00:40:32.040 blockers

00:40:32.520 now hormone

00:40:32.980 treatments

00:40:33.320 and puberty

00:40:33.760 blockers

00:40:34.300 are really

00:40:35.380 powerful drugs

00:40:36.460 that permanently

00:40:38.640 alter the

00:40:39.360 physiology of a

00:40:40.260 child

00:40:40.640 and what

00:40:42.300 that can

00:40:42.860 mean is for

00:40:43.900 a little

00:40:44.260 girl it

00:40:45.840 can permanently

00:40:46.760 remove the

00:40:47.460 ability of that

00:40:48.280 girl to ever

00:40:49.260 have children

00:40:50.360 for a little

00:40:50.820 boy it can

00:40:51.560 permanently

00:40:52.020 remove the

00:40:52.640 ability of that

00:40:53.320 boy to

00:40:54.240 father children

00:40:55.100 and then they

00:40:55.840 said in rare

00:40:56.540 cases just

00:40:57.200 just 4,000 I

00:40:58.400 mean you know

00:40:58.840 what's the big

00:40:59.280 deal 4,000 kids

00:41:00.280 were sterilizing

00:41:00.880 why are you

00:41:01.260 upset about

00:41:01.740 that

00:41:02.100 in rare

00:41:04.220 cases

00:41:04.680 surgery

00:41:05.100 now number

00:41:05.600 one

00:41:05.880 those cases

00:41:06.360 are not

00:41:06.720 that rare

00:41:07.180 we're finding

00:41:07.680 hospitals after

00:41:08.380 hospitals after

00:41:09.080 hospitals who

00:41:10.060 have these

00:41:10.500 these crazy

00:41:11.480 euphemisms they

00:41:12.260 call them top

00:41:12.860 surgery and

00:41:13.380 bottom surgery

00:41:13.940 yeah

00:41:14.340 so top

00:41:15.440 surgery they

00:41:16.000 cut the

00:41:16.300 healthy breasts

00:41:16.960 off young

00:41:17.920 girls

00:41:18.240 now by the

00:41:19.340 way you cut

00:41:19.820 them off they

00:41:20.220 don't grow

00:41:20.480 back

00:41:20.800 and we're

00:41:22.420 seeing hundreds

00:41:23.040 of cases of

00:41:24.500 kids who had

00:41:25.080 this happen to

00:41:25.720 them or in

00:41:26.840 some cases

00:41:27.240 adults who had

00:41:27.940 this happen to

00:41:28.500 them who a few

00:41:29.720 years later say

00:41:30.460 my god that

00:41:31.000 was a terrible

00:41:31.700 decision and

00:41:33.980 it's not coming

00:41:34.620 back yeah

00:41:35.160 what's done is

00:41:35.680 done and to

00:41:36.540 be clear look a

00:41:37.600 top surgery is

00:41:38.940 if you have a

00:41:40.280 woman who has

00:41:40.800 breast cancer and

00:41:41.660 she has to have

00:41:42.540 a mastectomy or

00:41:43.260 double mastectomy

00:41:44.020 that that can be

00:41:45.400 part of saving her

00:41:46.100 life but to do

00:41:46.800 that to a child

00:41:47.820 means that child

00:41:51.160 will never

00:41:51.660 breastfeed her

00:41:52.440 daughter as bad

00:41:55.060 as top surgery

00:41:55.880 is bottom

00:41:56.480 surgery and

00:41:58.060 and we don't

00:41:58.640 need to get

00:41:59.100 overly graphic

00:42:00.220 but it is

00:42:00.880 surgically removing

00:42:01.980 healthy genitals

00:42:03.020 from kids

00:42:04.040 now listen if an

00:42:05.880 adult wants to

00:42:06.720 do that if

00:42:07.260 you're 20 years

00:42:07.940 old and you

00:42:08.520 decide you want

00:42:09.180 to get it

00:42:09.500 chopped off

00:42:10.140 do it

00:42:11.180 look I

00:42:12.260 I grieve for

00:42:13.520 you I think

00:42:13.980 that's actually a

00:42:14.780 terrible decision

00:42:15.720 but I think as an

00:42:17.040 adult if you want

00:42:17.800 to do it you

00:42:18.260 can't

00:42:19.380 no eight-year-old

00:42:21.760 has the maturity

00:42:24.180 to know that

00:42:25.040 look when I was

00:42:26.280 eight I wanted to

00:42:26.800 be a dinosaur

00:42:27.480 who in their

00:42:29.560 right mind would

00:42:30.260 implant velociraptor

00:42:31.840 claws on me

00:42:33.080 because I wanted

00:42:33.660 to be a dinosaur

00:42:34.400 and inevitably

00:42:36.540 when this is

00:42:37.400 happening the

00:42:38.100 culprit is not

00:42:38.860 the child the

00:42:39.560 child is the

00:42:40.120 victim the

00:42:41.860 culprit is the

00:42:42.700 adult if you

00:42:44.440 sterilize a

00:42:45.600 child you are

00:42:47.860 engaged in child

00:42:48.780 abuse you don't

00:42:49.940 have a right to

00:42:52.040 say I've decided

00:42:54.420 that my child will

00:42:55.600 never be able to

00:42:56.360 have children of

00:42:57.220 his or her own

00:42:57.740 that's not your

00:42:59.060 right an adult

00:43:00.240 can make that

00:43:00.840 decision look if

00:43:01.580 an adult wants to

00:43:02.380 go make the

00:43:02.760 decision to give

00:43:03.380 up his or her

00:43:03.900 ability to have

00:43:04.400 children you can

00:43:05.020 do that a child

00:43:06.400 doesn't have the

00:43:06.960 maturity and an

00:43:07.660 adult doesn't have

00:43:08.540 the right and by

00:43:09.700 the way look the

00:43:11.260 issue of protecting

00:43:12.640 children I've spent a

00:43:16.740 lifetime fighting to

00:43:18.000 protect children when

00:43:18.860 I was solicitor general

00:43:19.700 of Texas I litigated

00:43:21.940 case after case after

00:43:23.020 case of people that

00:43:24.100 engaged in the rape

00:43:25.820 of children Medellin

00:43:27.320 versus Texas one of

00:43:28.360 the biggest cases I

00:43:29.220 argued in one at the

00:43:29.980 Supreme Court involved

00:43:31.640 two teenage girls who

00:43:32.920 were gang raped and

00:43:33.980 murdered in the city

00:43:35.100 of Houston Kennedy

00:43:36.060 versus Louisiana another

00:43:37.680 case I argued at the

00:43:39.020 Supreme Court involved a

00:43:40.980 man who viciously raped

00:43:42.720 a seven-year-old girl

00:43:43.860 I in Texas Texas has a

00:43:46.600 law the Texas sexually

00:43:47.720 violent civil commitment

00:43:49.920 law that provides that if

00:43:51.300 you're a sexually violent

00:43:52.180 predator and you're

00:43:52.960 adjudicated to be that

00:43:54.020 that you can be civilly

00:43:55.220 committed to prevent you

00:43:56.460 from either raping women

00:43:57.840 or rape or raping

00:43:59.260 children a court of

00:44:01.380 appeals in Texas struck

00:44:02.700 that law down I

00:44:03.720 personally argued the

00:44:05.020 appeal in the Texas

00:44:06.660 Supreme Court and won a

00:44:08.000 unanimous victory nine

00:44:09.220 zero reinstating that

00:44:11.040 law so when it comes to

00:44:12.620 protecting children from

00:44:13.900 sexual violence I have

00:44:15.860 spent decades doing this

00:44:17.500 if there's anything I can

00:44:18.340 say and I think you would

00:44:19.080 agree with me on this

00:44:19.780 one is we didn't ask for

00:44:21.300 this war but we are going

00:44:22.340 to protect and defend

00:44:23.100 children at all costs and

00:44:24.800 that's something that more

00:44:25.560 conservatives need to be

00:44:26.440 about they need to be

00:44:27.340 fighting harder we need to

00:44:28.700 be talking about this more

00:44:29.840 we need to be exposing it

00:44:30.980 more and if you remember

00:44:32.200 they mentioned the New York

00:44:32.980 Times and it just reminded

00:44:34.520 me he said he mentioned

00:44:35.740 bathrooms you know they

00:44:36.760 started in the schools

00:44:37.580 where little Timmy if he

00:44:39.100 said he was Susie could go

00:44:39.980 in the girls bathroom it was

00:44:41.720 fathers that came out and

00:44:44.000 said I don't want my I

00:44:45.740 don't want a boy coming in

00:44:46.860 the girls bathroom

00:44:47.560 Stephen Smith in Loudoun

00:44:48.640 County yeah the father of

00:44:50.600 the 14 year old girl who

00:44:52.020 was sexually assaulted in

00:44:53.080 the bathroom by a boy

00:44:54.120 wearing a skirt that's the

00:44:56.140 result of this bathroom

00:44:57.180 issue and they said New

00:44:59.140 York Times said oh the

00:44:59.860 bathroom issue didn't work

00:45:00.940 really ever heard of Glenn

00:45:01.760 Youngkin yeah because to be

00:45:03.400 honest he would not be

00:45:04.680 governor were it not for

00:45:05.960 their out of control

00:45:06.700 ideology endangering that

00:45:08.560 little girl and then the

00:45:09.760 school superintendent lying

00:45:11.240 about it insisting it never

00:45:12.580 happened and transferring

00:45:13.560 that boy to another school

00:45:14.700 where that boy sexually

00:45:15.880 assaulted another little girl

00:45:17.300 and arresting the father

00:45:20.800 and interestingly enough a

00:45:24.160 bunch of suburban moms in

00:45:25.640 northern Virginia who had

00:45:26.720 voted for Joe Joe Biden a

00:45:28.220 year earlier were so

00:45:30.500 horrified by the extremes of

00:45:33.520 the left that they voted

00:45:35.940 Republican and elected Glenn

00:45:37.180 Youngkin I will say I did get

00:45:38.380 in trouble on a related issue

00:45:39.560 on this on Twitter so Trevor

00:45:43.100 Noah you know the really lousy

00:45:44.400 left-wing comic who was on air

00:45:46.120 for a while and then he wasn't

00:45:47.160 funny enough and got

00:45:47.860 canceled you can tell I'm

00:45:50.180 grieving over that there was

00:45:53.760 if you remember in California

00:45:55.100 there was like a gender reveal

00:45:56.640 party where they had set off I

00:46:00.340 guess it was like fireworks it

00:46:01.700 was gonna be blue or pink to

00:46:02.700 tell everyone the the sex of

00:46:05.220 their of their soon-to-be-born

00:46:06.840 baby and they set it off and it

00:46:09.000 started a fire and it was kind of

00:46:10.200 a big scandal because it was a

00:46:12.000 fire like you shouldn't start a

00:46:13.120 fire obviously but Trevor Noah

00:46:15.980 went on on on air and said well

00:46:18.120 why are they doing this after all

00:46:20.700 how do they know how do they know

00:46:22.980 what the gender is they won't

00:46:24.140 know for years until the child

00:46:25.740 decides what gender he or she is

00:46:27.560 how do they know and you know what

00:46:30.440 since the dawn of time when babies

00:46:34.180 have been born every doctor I

00:46:36.180 suspect who's ever walked the

00:46:37.540 planet when they've handed mom

00:46:39.140 their baby the first sentence out

00:46:41.120 of the mouth has been it's a boy

00:46:42.480 or it's a girl so somehow they

00:46:43.720 figured it out for millennia had

00:46:46.040 that experience three times and

00:46:47.420 they got it right on all three

00:46:48.460 both my girls you know what they

00:46:50.680 they didn't say here's a homo

00:46:52.560 sapien and in five years you'll

00:46:53.880 figure out its gender it's

00:46:54.960 whatever you want it to be yeah

00:46:56.560 never said by a doctor so I will

00:46:58.480 say I I took Trevor Noah's little

00:47:01.840 comment and I did retweet it and I

00:47:04.600 said look at at some level Trevor

00:47:08.580 has a point because you know many

00:47:13.820 liberal boys never do grow

00:47:15.160 testicles yeah that kind of got me

00:47:18.260 in trouble yeah yeah I sort of had a

00:47:21.180 little bit of a lefty backlash on

00:47:22.580 that and I can tell you lost a lot of

00:47:24.460 sleep over that oh yeah yeah at least

00:47:26.480 10 12 seconds at least at least I want

00:47:29.460 to end with some good news and that is

00:47:31.400 another radical Biden nominee and tell

00:47:34.700 everybody about this because Republicans

00:47:36.980 are starting to get their act together

00:47:38.440 and realize that you can stop these

00:47:40.980 radical nominees from from Joe Biden

00:47:42.780 talk a little bit about the latest one

00:47:44.440 to bite the dust well in 2023 first six

00:47:47.080 months of 2023 three and exactly three

00:47:50.800 non-judicial Biden nominees have been

00:47:52.920 defeated in the Senate all three have

00:47:56.620 been defeated in the Senate Commerce

00:47:58.140 Committee where I'm the ranking member

00:47:59.600 I'm I'm the senior Republican on

00:48:01.140 Commerce so I've led the opposition to

00:48:03.240 all three and we've defeated all three

00:48:04.880 no other committee has taken down a

00:48:07.020 non-judicial nominee the first as you

00:48:09.900 know was Gigi Sohn we've talked about

00:48:11.640 her the radical left-wing activist

00:48:13.440 nominated to the Federal Communications

00:48:15.440 Commission we built opposition to her

00:48:18.720 she would have used the power of that

00:48:20.620 very powerful regulatory agency to

00:48:22.980 silence conservatives to target our

00:48:24.900 enemies she was defeated the White

00:48:26.840 House withdrew her the second was Phil

00:48:29.180 Washington Phil Washington very nice

00:48:31.860 man veteran of the military nominated

00:48:35.280 to be administrator the FAA the Federal

00:48:37.320 Aviation Administration the only problem

00:48:40.120 is he didn't know a damn thing about

00:48:41.260 airplanes had no background in aviation

00:48:43.920 no background in aviation safety again I

00:48:46.540 led the opposition to him we unified

00:48:49.040 Republicans on the committee and then

00:48:50.340 we picked off Democrats who said we

00:48:52.300 actually ought to have a guy in charge

00:48:53.900 of the FAA who knows something about

00:48:55.460 planes who can keep us safe this wasn't

00:48:57.540 ideological this is look you and I both

00:48:59.800 get on airplanes all the time we'd like

00:49:02.020 our kids when they get on a plane to be

00:49:04.580 safe and not to crash going from point

00:49:07.220 A to point B we'd like an FAA that knows

00:49:08.980 how to do that so the third example was a

00:49:12.800 woman named Ann Carlson Ann Carlson was

00:49:15.400 nominated to be the administrator of the

00:49:18.780 Federal Highway Traffic Safety

00:49:20.180 Administration the National Highway

00:49:21.840 Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA now

00:49:25.560 NHTSA has a very important job it's charged

00:49:28.100 with focusing on safety in automobiles on

00:49:32.900 highways looking at how do we make cars

00:49:34.700 more safe how do we protect our families

00:49:36.480 that important job yes and once again

00:49:39.420 just like with the FAA the FAA is a safety

00:49:41.540 job Biden administration didn't care about

00:49:44.020 the safety component let's nominate

00:49:45.460 someone who doesn't know anything about

00:49:47.100 safety because it doesn't matter they

00:49:48.940 treated it instead as a political

00:49:50.620 patronage job let's take care of someone

00:49:53.040 who's a Democrat who will make Democrat

00:49:54.440 politicians happy and who cares if they

00:49:56.640 know anything about how to do the job

00:49:57.960 NHTSA likewise they nominated someone

00:50:00.340 that has no real background in safety

00:50:02.280 but what is she she's an environmental

00:50:04.940 activist and extremist she's a law

00:50:06.760 professor at UCLA that runs their

00:50:09.220 environmental litigation clinic and that

00:50:12.260 spends her time suing energy companies

00:50:14.800 trying to force the Green New Deal and

00:50:17.580 in fact she has a very lucrative business

00:50:19.860 with a for-profit law firm where she

00:50:21.500 brings these lawsuits over and over and

00:50:23.940 over again and and so she was quite out in

00:50:26.760 the open and saying this is great I'm

00:50:28.340 going to use NHTSA to push the Green New

00:50:32.440 Deal to push to fight climate change in

00:50:34.960 other words I'm going to use NHTSA to say

00:50:37.000 let's prohibit every internal combustion

00:50:40.860 engine in America let's force every car

00:50:42.880 to be electric never mind if you want to

00:50:45.800 drive a suburban we're not going to let you

00:50:47.760 why we're going to claim it's safety which

00:50:50.360 is absurd but it was all about politics

00:50:53.760 and ideology and they were quite open

00:50:56.720 and brazen about it if you look at if you

00:51:01.760 look at some of the things that that Ann

00:51:03.660 Carlson said I've got to find it okay here

00:51:07.220 it is here's one quote from Ann Carlson

00:51:10.060 quote I think our set salvation relies not

00:51:13.520 on the goodwill of individuals instead

00:51:15.340 governments and markets need to take

00:51:17.320 steps to make us pay for the full cost of

00:51:20.140 the behaviors in which we engage a carbon

00:51:22.820 price on energy usage is a good start in

00:51:26.380 other words we need to be saved from

00:51:30.180 ourselves so she wanted to non-political

00:51:33.520 it seems pretty political we she wanted to

00:51:35.680 use NHTSA to save you from yourself you

00:51:38.300 think you want a suburban but really what

00:51:41.420 you want is a Prius and I'm gonna say a

00:51:44.300 suburban isn't safe and a Prius is safer

00:51:47.500 now mind you you might be a lot more

00:51:48.780 likely to die in a traffic accident which

00:51:50.880 is the entire purpose of NHTSA to try to

00:51:52.400 minimize that outcome but I think the

00:51:56.500 planet will be safer so this was their

00:52:00.120 nominee as with Gigi Sohn as with Phil

00:52:03.180 Washington I and my team led the fight to

00:52:06.040 defeat her nomination we made the case to

00:52:09.420 all of the Republicans on the Commerce

00:52:10.780 Committee and then we began systematically

00:52:12.300 reaching out to Democrats and we did

00:52:13.900 something we did in all three of these

00:52:15.440 prior nominations which is we reached out

00:52:18.620 to stakeholders we reached out to people

00:52:21.040 who are likely to care about this

00:52:22.820 nomination and to pay the price for the

00:52:24.720 consequences and so we got energy

00:52:27.040 producers engaged in speaking out and

00:52:29.000 saying this woman is a radical don't put

00:52:30.780 her in this very important agency we got

00:52:33.060 farmers and ranchers in the ag community

00:52:35.220 to speak out because look if you are going

00:52:37.680 after internal combustion engines last I

00:52:39.860 checked a tractor uses one of those last I

00:52:41.880 checked a truck uses one of those last I

00:52:44.100 checked a combine uses one of those and

00:52:46.240 driving up the cost for farmers and

00:52:48.240 ranchers is really harmful to ag so the

00:52:50.920 ag community got engaged they began

00:52:52.660 reaching out and what's amazing Biden

00:52:56.080 White House this last week pulled her

00:52:57.640 nomination so we still haven't had a

00:52:59.580 hearing on it but I think they're shell

00:53:02.060 shocked after losing not one but two

00:53:05.320 nominees they were publicly publicly yeah and

00:53:08.080 and both of them they said we're gonna win

00:53:09.960 we've got the votes and it turned out no

00:53:11.800 they didn't and we defeated them to be

00:53:14.400 clear all three of these nominees were

00:53:15.860 defeated not by going into the gutter not

00:53:17.920 by getting personal not by engaging not

00:53:20.460 by politics they were defeated on substance

00:53:23.460 that their records were incompatible with

00:53:27.320 the jobs to which they've been nominated and

00:53:30.000 so at a time when when when there's reason

00:53:32.320 to be dismayed from lots of things yet

00:53:35.420 another victory for the good guys that's a

00:53:37.360 reason to celebrate it certainly is and

00:53:39.100 and you every once in a while will send

00:53:41.580 out a tweet that makes me laugh usually

00:53:44.280 you're very bland on Twitter you don't

00:53:45.800 take a lot of shots you don't get snarky

00:53:48.580 with people but there was one this week

00:53:50.320 that I think everyone should see in case

00:54:56.760 made me laugh senator because it dealt

00:54:58.520 with representative uh jamal bowman from

00:55:01.140 new york let's throw it up there on the

00:55:03.340 screen because it's pretty darn funny and

00:55:05.720 put it into context for people what this

00:55:07.620 had to deal with so jamal bowman is a

00:55:09.940 hardcore left-wing democrat from new york I

00:55:12.500 don't know the guy at all uh but he's he's

00:55:15.400 on the aoc progressive loony socialist left

00:55:18.500 and and he came out with a statement and he

00:55:21.020 said we must stop drilling for oil

00:55:23.780 completely and in fact his quote was the

00:55:26.840 united states must quote stop drilling for

00:55:29.220 fossil fuels completely or americans will

00:55:33.020 continue to suffer from severe weather

00:55:34.980 events these people are not serious these

00:55:39.300 people are not real they're not actually

00:55:41.100 focused on reality they're not focused on

00:55:43.120 details so I sent a tweet I said lunacy when

00:55:46.740 he rose a rowboat from new york city to dc and

00:55:51.880 then rides a horse to the capital he might

00:55:54.620 have some credibility I won't hold my breath

00:55:57.100 yeah look and by the way the jacket he's

00:55:59.600 wearing in that picture is made from

00:56:01.180 petroleum products the buttons on the

00:56:03.520 jacket are made from petroleum products

00:56:05.500 his belt is made from petroleum products

00:56:08.000 the glasses his glasses are made from

00:56:09.820 petroleum products his shoes are made for

00:56:13.040 petroleum products he's literally wearing

00:56:15.800 oil and gas

00:56:16.880 when he's done pointing to the socialist future

00:56:22.980 he wants us to go he will get in the big

00:56:25.120 suburban and drive to his office every week he

00:56:29.840 either flies from new york to dc or he takes the

00:56:32.400 train from new york to dc neither one of which

00:56:35.620 will work without oil and gas yeah the utter hypocrisy and

00:56:43.240 the thing about the crazy left they don't have an answer to that look one of the

00:56:48.200 the actually two of the proponents of of the green new deal which which

00:56:51.520 advocates abolishing oil and gas and advocates abolishing jet fuel are the

00:56:56.940 two senators from hawaii they're both two of the original sponsors the green

00:57:00.000 new deal i pointed out i don't know about you but have you looked at a map

00:57:03.220 yeah like hawaii uh you're not driving an electric car there

00:57:09.640 like how exactly okay no airplanes so apparently you're just going to stay on

00:57:14.720 hawaii okay you want to be a hunter-gatherer

00:57:16.680 you know you could go fishing and and but you're not going to dc you don't get to go

00:57:21.100 from one to the other if you would like to go from hawaii to dc

00:57:24.660 you need jet fuel if you don't got jet fuel

00:57:28.300 you ain't getting there you ain't getting there and these radicals they don't care

00:57:35.180 this is all about virtue signaling he might as well be pointing saying go

00:57:40.220 sterilize that child this is showing his his theology

00:57:45.580 and it's not related to reality or anything people are actually living

00:57:52.040 yeah this is why i say the democratic party is dying or dead

00:57:55.600 it's now socialist communist marxist that's what it looks like uh and he's a

00:58:00.420 leader by the way he wants to take away your gas stove

00:58:02.540 he wants to take away your suburban like ann carlson did

00:58:05.560 hold on didn't the media say that was a myth no one ever really wanted to take

00:58:08.180 away except new york state has now done it yeah there you go new york state has

00:58:11.180 now done it unless you're really rich yeah the really rich people are

00:58:14.220 grandfathered out because they are the party of really rich people you got to

00:58:17.540 understand the rules they want to impose

00:58:19.600 are rules for thee and not for me they are rules they want to put on the

00:58:24.900 rest of america but not on themselves yeah great point don't forget uh we do
