00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.500 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.660 Welcome. It is a verdict with Senator Tate Cruz.
00:00:07.420 Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:08.640 And Senator, you and I were chatting before the show
00:00:12.020 that it's been one hell of a week for the corrupt media,
00:00:15.900 and they've just been stepping in it all week long.
00:00:20.560 Well, listen, it's one of the most dangerous aspects
00:00:25.100 in our democracy today,
00:00:26.560 is that we no longer have a free and independent media.
00:00:30.580 We no longer have a media that engages in actual journalism,
00:00:35.760 and I don't think that's hyperbole.
00:00:37.860 You know, there was a time when people in the media
00:00:41.860 viewed their mission as reporting both sides,
00:00:45.960 as reporting the facts, and letting you decide.
00:00:49.680 There was a time when journalists were trained
00:00:51.920 to focus on the facts, the who, what, where, when,
00:00:56.260 why, and not focus on editorializing.
00:01:01.680 That no longer is the mission of the corporate media.
00:01:04.920 The corporate media today, they have embraced their view
00:01:07.680 as propagandists.
00:01:09.580 They have embraced their view as partisans.
00:01:12.540 And in fact, when it comes to partisans,
00:01:15.460 I think the corporate media are the most vicious leftists there are.
00:01:21.560 They will criticize the Democrat Party for one thing and one thing only,
00:01:25.920 and that's not being leftist enough.
00:01:27.920 They view their job as drive them to the left.
00:01:30.320 And they also are the attack dogs.
00:01:32.960 And I got to say, when they're engaged in attacks,
00:01:36.400 their bigotry comes out, 0.96
00:01:38.400 their ignorance comes out, 0.96
00:01:40.700 their despising of anyone who isn't a leftist comes out. 0.78
00:01:46.880 And it really, the double standard is profound.
00:01:52.040 Yeah, you look at this week,
00:01:54.400 and just one of those perfect examples
00:01:56.500 is what happened with Don Lemon.
00:01:59.360 And to be clear, before we play this,
00:02:01.860 if a Republican, if a conservative,
00:02:04.840 would have said this on TV,
00:02:06.900 I have no doubt that they would have been fired.
00:02:10.820 In fact, I can even say,
00:02:12.060 if I was at CNN and I was there for seven years,
00:02:15.020 if I would have said what I'm about to play for you,
00:02:17.340 I would have immediately been shown the door.
00:02:21.760 And yet, Don Lemon gets to come back without an apology.
00:02:25.580 Take a listen.
00:02:26.440 It's all the talk about age makes me uncomfortable.
00:02:28.880 I think that, I think it's the wrong road to go down.
00:02:31.560 She says people, you know,
00:02:32.900 politicians or something are not in their prime.
00:02:34.620 Nikki Haley is in her prime.
00:02:35.920 Sorry.
00:02:36.620 A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s. 0.96
00:02:40.560 What are you talking about?
00:02:41.560 That's not according to me.
00:02:43.160 Prime for what?
00:02:44.100 It depends.
00:02:45.020 I mean, it's just like prime.
00:02:45.940 If you look it up,
00:02:46.540 if you Google when is a woman in her prime,
00:02:49.200 it'll say 20s, 30s, and 40s.
00:02:51.520 I don't necessarily...
00:02:52.320 40s. Oh, I got another decade.
00:02:53.000 I agree with that.
00:02:54.600 So I think she has to be careful about saying that,
00:02:57.660 you know, politicians aren't in their prime in their 80s.
00:02:58.880 I think we need to qualify.
00:02:59.900 Are you talking about prime for like child-bearing?
00:03:02.280 Or are you talking about prime for being president?
00:03:05.100 The facts are Google it.
00:03:06.360 Everybody at home,
00:03:07.500 when is a woman in her prime,
00:03:08.780 it says 20s, 30s, and 40s.
00:03:10.180 And I'm just saying Nikki Haley should be careful about saying
00:03:12.660 that politicians are not in their prime
00:03:14.820 and they need to be in their prime when they serve
00:03:16.700 because she wouldn't be in her prime,
00:03:18.000 according to Google or whatever it is.
00:03:21.600 Now, I love it because they're even mocking him on the set.
00:03:24.200 They can't believe he's actually saying this.
00:03:26.160 They're obviously trying to protect him in a sense.
00:03:28.580 But then he doesn't even have to apologize,
00:03:31.280 Senator, and he gets his job back, right?
00:03:33.120 Well, look, his comments there are drippingly misogynistic.
00:03:39.660 You know, Joe Biden is, what, 142 years old.
00:03:42.500 And according to him, apparently Biden is in his prime.
00:03:45.840 But he's willing to suggest that once a woman hits her 40s,
00:03:50.260 by her 50s, she's over the hill,
00:03:52.120 just, you know, put her out to pasture. 0.98
00:03:54.520 And there's a reason he's willing to say that
00:03:58.760 because he doesn't consider Nikki Haley a woman.
00:04:03.260 It's the point we made on the pod we just did with Wesley Hunt.
00:04:07.660 Don Lemon does not consider Wesley Hunt to be a black man.
00:04:11.120 Don Lemon does not consider me to be Hispanic.
00:04:14.320 If you dare to be conservative,
00:04:17.960 the left erases you from whatever victim class they want to put.
00:04:22.240 And they put everyone in victim classes, but they define it. 0.87
00:04:25.580 You're only black if you're a leftist. 0.88
00:04:28.000 As Joe Biden said, if you're not voting for Joe Biden, you ain't black. 0.99
00:04:32.260 I mean, what a bigoted thing to say.
00:04:36.080 Don Lemon, I promise you, despises Clarence Thomas.
00:04:41.480 Why? 0.93
00:04:41.920 Because he dares, as a black man, to be a conservative. 0.74
00:04:46.060 And Don Lemon not only despises Nikki Haley,
00:04:48.560 but he views her with a particular,
00:04:52.780 if it were just a white guy,
00:04:55.120 fine, he could live with that. 0.99
00:04:57.340 Old, fat, bald, white guys are the one group 1.00
00:04:59.940 they think are allowed to be conservatives. 1.00
00:05:01.800 But if you're a woman, you're a traitor. 0.98
00:05:05.000 And so his comments 0.99
00:05:06.580 reveal the particular contempt.
00:05:10.300 You know,
00:05:10.780 the differential of how the left treats
00:05:13.780 Clarence Thomas versus how they treated Antonin Scalia.
00:05:16.620 Antonin Scalia was a strong conservative,
00:05:20.460 was brilliant.
00:05:21.580 And the left didn't like him,
00:05:22.960 but they didn't react.
00:05:24.980 You know, you had one magazine
00:05:26.180 that portrayed Clarence Thomas
00:05:28.920 as an Uncle Tom,
00:05:31.440 basically shining the shoes
00:05:33.760 of Antonin Scalia. 0.94
00:05:34.900 That's bigoted and racist, 0.92
00:05:36.860 but they are right.
00:05:38.960 Contempt is their feeling.
00:05:40.440 And so after he made these comments,
00:05:43.820 CNN realized,
00:05:44.880 uh-oh, he stepped in it.
00:05:46.100 Now, you're right, Ben.
00:05:46.800 If you'd said the exact same thing,
00:05:48.360 if you read his words on air,
00:05:50.400 they would have fired you
00:05:51.940 probably before you were finished speaking.
00:05:54.480 Yeah.
00:05:54.960 But for Don Levin,
00:05:56.280 because he's a leftist,
00:05:57.780 and because he was attacking a Republican,
00:06:00.740 all is fine and good.
00:06:03.280 So he put out a tweet.
00:06:04.240 I want to read the tweet he made.
00:06:05.540 The reference I made to a woman's prime this morning
00:06:09.300 was inartful and irrelevant,
00:06:13.100 as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out.
00:06:16.420 And I regret it.
00:06:18.640 A woman's age doesn't define her 1.00
00:06:20.800 either personally or professionally.
00:06:24.320 I have countless women in my life 1.00
00:06:27.360 who prove that every day.
00:06:29.260 Now, this statement is several things.
00:06:31.800 I'll tell you what it is not.
00:06:33.520 An apology.
00:06:35.120 Nowhere in there are the words,
00:06:37.000 I'm sorry.
00:06:38.580 Nowhere in the words are,
00:06:40.740 I'm a bumbling, left-wing, 1.00
00:06:42.440 hypocritical, misogynist jackass, 1.00
00:06:45.040 which is what he should have said. 1.00
00:06:47.260 You know what he also doesn't say?
00:06:49.700 That what he said was wrong.
00:06:51.900 What he says is,
00:06:52.980 it's inartful.
00:06:54.040 In other words,
00:06:55.500 may have been true in his mind,
00:06:57.620 but he didn't express it quite as artfully,
00:07:00.640 as elegantly as he might have.
00:07:02.620 And he said,
00:07:03.180 and irrelevant.
00:07:04.140 Now, irrelevant doesn't mean wrong either.
00:07:05.940 It just means,
00:07:07.200 well, I shouldn't have pointed it out
00:07:09.480 because, I don't know,
00:07:10.520 it's not relevant
00:07:11.200 because people criticized me.
00:07:13.280 And he goes on.
00:07:15.440 He says,
00:07:15.940 and I regret it.
00:07:17.560 He doesn't say,
00:07:18.180 I'm sorry.
00:07:18.960 He doesn't apologize to Nikki Haley,
00:07:22.320 to women.
00:07:23.380 He doesn't apologize.
00:07:24.100 And then he says,
00:07:25.200 a woman's age doesn't define her 1.00
00:07:26.780 either personally or professionally.
00:07:28.380 Well,
00:07:29.180 he still isn't disagreeing 1.00
00:07:30.820 with his asinine statement. 1.00
00:07:33.000 Look, 0.99
00:07:33.440 my wife Heidi turned 50 last year.
00:07:35.860 Heidi Cruz is absolutely in her prime.
00:07:38.300 In fact,
00:07:38.620 Heidi is going to run a marathon
00:07:40.400 next month
00:07:41.740 to celebrate turning 50.
00:07:44.700 Margaret Thatcher,
00:07:46.240 who last I checked,
00:07:47.320 wasn't in her 20s
00:07:48.400 or 30s or 40s.
00:07:49.220 And she was in her prime.
00:07:51.160 Unbelievable leader.
00:07:52.860 You want to talk about a woman
00:07:54.400 who bestrode the earth
00:07:56.360 like a colossus,
00:07:57.680 who along with Reagan
00:07:59.220 and Pope John Paul
00:08:00.440 changed the course
00:08:02.420 of human history.
00:08:04.140 But you know what?
00:08:05.360 Don Lemon doesn't think
00:08:06.220 she was in her prime
00:08:06.940 because she's not a woman. 1.00
00:08:08.300 Why?
00:08:08.680 Because she's conservative
00:08:09.840 and you don't count
00:08:11.260 as a woman for leftists.
00:08:13.740 And then the amazing thing
00:08:14.600 is what does CNN do?
00:08:15.700 They take him off the air
00:08:16.600 for two days
00:08:17.320 and then back on air
00:08:19.240 because it's a double standard
00:08:21.060 that only applies
00:08:22.580 to one political side of the aisle.
00:08:25.020 There was something
00:08:25.840 that I laugh about
00:08:27.280 because I woke up
00:08:28.320 this morning
00:08:29.700 to a text
00:08:30.340 from a former colleague of mine
00:08:31.840 at CNN
00:08:32.760 and it said
00:08:34.320 please check
00:08:36.440 Don Lemon's Twitter.
00:08:37.740 And at 4.35 a.m.
00:08:39.120 he took so much heat
00:08:40.100 from the tweet
00:08:40.680 that you just read
00:08:41.840 that he then put out
00:08:43.300 a new tweet
00:08:44.080 and this is what it said.
00:08:45.380 I appreciate the opportunity
00:08:47.080 to be back on CNN
00:08:48.440 this morning today.
00:08:50.560 To my network,
00:08:51.460 my colleagues
00:08:52.140 and our incredible audience,
00:08:54.080 I'm sorry.
00:08:55.260 I've heard you.
00:08:56.460 I'm learning from you
00:08:57.880 and I'm committed
00:08:58.560 to doing better.
00:08:59.520 See you soon.
00:09:00.840 Yet he still can't
00:09:01.940 bring himself
00:09:02.380 to actually apologize
00:09:03.420 to the person
00:09:04.280 he originally offended.
00:09:05.960 So even the,
00:09:07.080 like, okay,
00:09:07.860 I gotta fix it.
00:09:08.880 Let me be clear, Ben.
00:09:10.380 It's not just Nikki Haley
00:09:11.880 who, I mean,
00:09:13.000 he did insult her
00:09:13.840 by saying she's not in her prime.
00:09:15.600 But he insulted
00:09:16.640 every woman
00:09:18.220 in her 50s,
00:09:19.100 in her 60s,
00:09:19.820 in her 70s. 0.99
00:09:20.920 What an asinine statement. 0.99
00:09:22.380 By the way, 0.99
00:09:23.460 under the Constitution,
00:09:24.700 the minimum age
00:09:25.300 to be president
00:09:25.840 of the United States
00:09:26.680 is 35.
00:09:28.200 So I guess
00:09:28.820 in Don Lemon's world,
00:09:30.340 there is a 15-year window
00:09:32.360 when a woman 0.99
00:09:33.120 in her prime
00:09:33.880 is allowed
00:09:34.340 to be president
00:09:35.000 between 35
00:09:35.900 and 49 and a half.
00:09:38.800 Like, 0.99
00:09:39.200 what an asinine proposition. 0.99
00:09:41.460 And mind you, 0.99
00:09:42.560 Joe Biden,
00:09:43.460 they don't think
00:09:44.120 anything of it.
00:09:45.820 Hillary Clinton,
00:09:46.900 I guarantee you,
00:09:48.580 Don Lemon never said,
00:09:50.080 you know what,
00:09:50.600 Hillary Clinton
00:09:51.120 wasn't in her 40s
00:09:52.180 when she ran for president.
00:09:53.580 It's an absolute
00:09:54.600 double standard.
00:09:55.860 No,
00:09:56.080 it certainly is.
00:09:57.020 And by the way,
00:09:57.720 Don Lemon
00:09:58.200 wasn't the only one
00:10:00.060 to step in it this week.
00:10:01.760 Andrea Mitchell
00:10:02.560 had her own
00:10:03.620 big oops moment.
00:10:05.560 I'm going to tell you
00:10:06.080 about that in a second.
00:10:07.480 But first,
00:10:08.000 I want to tell you
00:10:08.280 about Patriot Mobile.
00:10:09.680 Many of you
00:10:10.300 have actually reached out.
00:10:11.220 It's cool.
00:10:12.060 When we start to hear
00:10:13.200 from people
00:10:13.440 that make the switch
00:10:14.440 to Patriot Mobile,
00:10:15.340 the only conservative
00:10:16.480 Christian cell phone
00:10:17.440 coming to the U.S.,
00:10:18.560 one of you
00:10:18.920 that was a small business owner
00:10:19.820 sent a message to me
00:10:20.940 saying,
00:10:21.320 Ben,
00:10:21.740 they're awesome.
00:10:22.740 Thanks for telling me
00:10:23.500 about Patriot Mobile.
00:10:24.780 Now,
00:10:25.120 what happens
00:10:25.840 with Patriot Mobile
00:10:26.580 is what you're going to love.
00:10:27.460 You get the same
00:10:28.420 cell phone service
00:10:29.260 you have right now.
00:10:30.220 The same coverage.
00:10:31.460 You keep your same
00:10:32.100 cell phone number
00:10:32.820 if you want to.
00:10:33.660 You can 99% of the time
00:10:34.680 keep your same cell phone
00:10:35.800 that you have in your hand
00:10:36.600 or you can upgrade
00:10:37.960 to a new one

00:11:26.680 Senator Andrea Mitchell
00:11:28.100 also got herself 0.85
00:11:29.220 in a lot of hot water
00:11:30.540 this week
00:11:31.180 when she did
00:11:33.120 what the only way
00:11:34.160 I can describe
00:11:34.860 is basically a hit
00:11:36.360 on Governor Ron DeSantis
00:11:39.540 trying to imply
00:11:40.760 that he's some sort
00:11:41.500 of extreme 0.73
00:11:42.300 Klansman racist
00:11:44.080 and she had an interview,
00:11:46.480 an NBC exclusive
00:11:47.760 with Vice President Harris
00:11:49.100 and here's what was said
00:11:51.040 and the only problem
00:11:52.260 with what was said
00:11:53.000 is it wasn't true.
00:11:55.020 Let me ask you,
00:11:56.180 what does Governor
00:11:57.660 Ron DeSantis
00:11:58.380 not know
00:11:59.560 about black history
00:12:01.300 and the black experience
00:12:02.300 when he says
00:12:03.620 that slavery
00:12:05.740 and the aftermath
00:12:06.580 of slavery
00:12:07.060 should not be taught
00:12:08.100 to Florida school children?
00:12:09.380 I don't know
00:12:09.980 what he knows
00:12:10.640 and what he doesn't know
00:12:11.640 but I know this.
00:12:14.520 Any push
00:12:15.980 to censor
00:12:16.980 America's teachers
00:12:19.520 and tell them
00:12:21.340 what they should be teaching
00:12:22.600 in the best interest
00:12:23.480 of our children
00:12:24.280 in partnership
00:12:28.220 with the parents
00:12:29.360 of America
00:12:29.980 is I think
00:12:31.460 wrong headed.
00:12:33.920 The people
00:12:34.620 who know
00:12:34.960 our children best
00:12:36.120 are their parents
00:12:37.160 and their teachers
00:12:38.100 in terms of the time
00:12:39.280 they spend
00:12:40.000 and the investment
00:12:40.720 they've placed
00:12:41.440 in the brains
00:12:42.640 and capacity
00:12:43.420 of our children
00:12:45.520 who are our nation's future
00:12:46.840 and it should not
00:12:49.780 be some politician
00:12:50.640 saying what should
00:12:52.460 be taught
00:12:52.820 in our classrooms
00:12:53.800 and I mean
00:12:56.720 this story
00:12:58.460 the problem
00:12:59.160 with it is
00:12:59.760 it's not true
00:13:00.720 Senator
00:13:01.100 as you pointed out
00:13:02.400 so there are
00:13:03.920 lots of problems
00:13:04.640 with it.
00:13:05.600 Number one
00:13:06.220 Andrea Mitchell
00:13:07.920 is
00:13:08.840 the question
00:13:10.000 is incredibly 0.99
00:13:10.880 ignorant 1.00
00:13:11.480 like what she's 1.00
00:13:13.100 saying
00:13:13.540 it's not even
00:13:14.000 just a little bit
00:13:15.020 not true
00:13:15.600 it's a total
00:13:16.360 blatant lie
00:13:17.200 but it is a
00:13:18.500 blatant lie
00:13:19.380 based on
00:13:21.380 her assumptions 0.58
00:13:22.400 that all
00:13:23.900 Republicans 1.00
00:13:24.520 are ignorant 1.00
00:13:25.900 Philistines 1.00
00:13:26.900 who don't want
00:13:28.240 history taught
00:13:30.240 in any way
00:13:31.120 who don't want
00:13:33.480 who don't want
00:13:35.340 slavery
00:13:36.000 or the aftermath
00:13:36.880 of slavery
00:13:37.720 taught.
00:13:38.640 Now
00:13:38.780 of course
00:13:40.240 Florida schools
00:13:41.560 teach about slavery
00:13:42.520 and the aftermath
00:13:43.460 of slavery
00:13:44.040 and by the way
00:13:44.840 you want to talk
00:13:45.880 about who wants
00:13:46.620 to cover up
00:13:47.240 history
00:13:47.680 Andrea
00:13:49.100 who was it
00:13:51.220 that signed
00:13:52.300 the Emancipation
00:13:53.220 Proclamation
00:13:53.740 oh yeah
00:13:54.320 that was Abraham
00:13:54.900 Lincoln
00:13:55.260 that was the
00:13:55.760 first Republican
00:13:56.480 president
00:13:57.000 who was it
00:13:58.360 that founded
00:13:58.900 the Ku Klux Klan
00:13:59.840 oh yeah
00:14:00.320 those were
00:14:00.940 Democrat politicians
00:14:02.060 who was it
00:14:03.180 that wrote
00:14:03.680 the Jim Crow 0.94
00:14:04.340 laws
00:14:04.700 oh yeah
00:14:05.200 those were
00:14:05.860 Democrat
00:14:06.300 politicians
00:14:07.000 who was it
00:14:08.280 that eulogized
00:14:09.500 an exalted
00:14:10.240 Cyclops
00:14:11.080 of the Ku Klux 0.88
00:14:12.120 Klan
00:14:12.560 Robert Byrd
00:14:13.540 oh yeah
00:14:14.100 that was
00:14:14.500 Joe Biden
00:14:15.100 the sitting
00:14:15.560 Democrat
00:14:16.040 president
00:14:16.500 of the United
00:14:16.940 States
00:14:17.320 you want to
00:14:17.700 talk about
00:14:18.160 who doesn't
00:14:18.620 want to deal
00:14:19.040 with slavery
00:14:19.520 in the aftermath
00:14:20.080 of slavery
00:14:20.820 it is Andrea
00:14:21.780 Mitchell
00:14:22.080 who's never
00:14:22.540 reported
00:14:23.020 on any
00:14:23.900 of those
00:14:24.360 facts
00:14:24.740 the absurdity
00:14:25.860 of saying
00:14:27.680 that Republicans
00:14:29.120 in this case
00:14:29.740 Ron DeSantis
00:14:30.400 don't want
00:14:31.340 the fact
00:14:31.860 of slavery
00:14:32.440 taught
00:14:32.900 is deliberately 0.99
00:14:35.860 ignorant 1.00
00:14:36.620 and it's based 1.00
00:14:37.680 on the same
00:14:38.260 assumption
00:14:38.660 look
00:14:39.020 what she
00:14:40.280 is doing
00:14:40.820 and what
00:14:41.180 Don Lemon
00:14:41.700 did
00:14:42.080 are the
00:14:42.500 exact
00:14:42.900 same
00:14:43.280 thing
00:14:43.700 they have
00:14:44.720 contempt
00:14:45.560 for anyone
00:14:46.920 who isn't
00:14:47.660 a leftist
00:14:48.500 and
00:14:49.700 they assume
00:14:52.620 these 0.99
00:14:53.340 ridiculous 0.99
00:14:54.320 caricatures 1.00
00:14:55.440 so for
00:14:57.800 example
00:14:58.260 Ben
00:14:58.560 I'll go
00:14:59.260 back to
00:14:59.820 2021
00:15:00.580 where
00:15:02.540 Andrea
00:15:04.340 Mitchell
00:15:06.140 again
00:15:06.720 tweets out
00:15:07.500 I had
00:15:07.920 commented
00:15:08.460 about
00:15:08.940 the
00:15:09.260 Trump
00:15:09.940 impeachment
00:15:10.400 trial
00:15:10.900 the second
00:15:12.140 trial
00:15:12.600 and I
00:15:13.180 said
00:15:13.740 it was
00:15:15.140 as
00:15:15.380 Shakespeare
00:15:15.840 put it
00:15:16.540 full of
00:15:17.480 sound
00:15:17.780 and fury
00:15:18.300 and signifying
00:15:19.060 nothing
00:15:19.440 now
00:15:20.540 Andrea
00:15:21.200 Mitchell
00:15:21.500 jumps on
00:15:22.040 Twitter
00:15:22.320 and she
00:15:22.640 tweets
00:15:22.920 the following
00:15:23.540 Ted Cruz
00:15:25.040 says
00:15:25.420 impeachment
00:15:25.900 trial
00:15:26.340 is like
00:15:26.800 Shakespeare
00:15:27.280 full of
00:15:28.300 sound
00:15:28.580 and fury
00:15:29.140 signifying
00:15:30.060 nothing
00:15:30.460 no
00:15:31.960 that's
00:15:33.100 Faulkner
00:15:34.040 now
00:15:35.560 that's
00:15:36.180 her
00:15:36.340 response
00:15:37.040 now
00:15:38.120 she
00:15:39.140 I
00:15:40.380 actually
00:15:40.800 let a
00:15:41.180 little bit
00:15:41.560 of time
00:15:42.100 elapse
00:15:42.680 because
00:15:43.180 Twitter
00:15:43.800 was really
00:15:44.300 wonderful
00:15:44.780 in that
00:15:45.260 and that
00:15:45.500 everyone
00:15:45.880 piled on
00:15:46.760 and pointed
00:15:47.220 out that
00:15:47.800 no you 0.99
00:15:49.020 fool 1.00
00:15:49.780 that is 0.99
00:15:50.480 in fact
00:15:51.180 from
00:15:52.500 William
00:15:52.820 Shakespeare
00:15:53.340 from
00:15:55.420 Macbeth
00:15:56.120 life is a
00:15:56.680 tale
00:15:56.900 told by 1.00
00:15:57.680 an idiot 1.00
00:15:58.120 full of 1.00
00:15:58.600 sound
00:15:58.880 and fury
00:15:59.600 and signifying
00:16:00.280 nothing
00:16:00.680 and Faulkner
00:16:01.480 when
00:16:02.440 he wrote
00:16:03.580 the sound
00:16:04.100 and the
00:16:04.340 fury
00:16:04.660 was
00:16:05.140 quoting
00:16:05.600 from
00:16:06.020 Shakespeare
00:16:06.560 so
00:16:08.160 Mitchell
00:16:08.560 finally
00:16:09.100 when the
00:16:09.440 entire
00:16:09.700 world
00:16:10.000 pounded
00:16:10.400 on her
00:16:10.660 how 0.99
00:16:10.820 ridiculous 1.00
00:16:11.220 she 1.00
00:16:11.500 was
00:16:11.720 she
00:16:11.900 sends
00:16:12.240 out
00:16:12.480 this
00:16:12.720 sort
00:16:13.700 of
00:16:13.820 apology
00:16:14.180 tweet
00:16:14.560 I
00:16:15.400 clearly
00:16:15.720 studied
00:16:16.140 too much
00:16:16.560 American
00:16:16.940 literature
00:16:17.360 and not
00:16:17.760 enough
00:16:19.040 Macbeth
00:16:19.640 my apologies
00:16:21.140 to Senator
00:16:21.720 Cruz
00:16:22.080 now
00:16:22.400 look
00:16:23.020 I don't
00:16:23.480 care about
00:16:23.940 the fact
00:16:24.380 that she
00:16:24.680 gets this
00:16:25.160 wrong
00:16:25.520 but it
00:16:26.840 reveals a
00:16:27.480 mindset
00:16:27.920 which is
00:16:29.200 listen
00:16:29.460 you can
00:16:29.960 disagree with
00:16:31.220 me
00:16:31.420 you think
00:16:31.780 can think
00:16:32.140 I'm wrong
00:16:32.540 I'm probably
00:16:33.000 wrong about
00:16:33.420 a lot of
00:16:33.740 things in
00:16:34.080 life
00:16:34.300 certainly
00:16:34.680 my wife
00:16:36.220 and daughters
00:16:36.620 would tell
00:16:37.000 you I am
00:16:37.460 but
00:16:38.060 Mitchell
00:16:40.200 among all
00:16:41.920 the criticisms
00:16:42.660 I think it
00:16:43.400 would be
00:16:43.780 difficult to
00:16:44.740 make the
00:16:45.180 case
00:16:45.720 that I'm
00:16:46.900 an illiterate 1.00
00:16:47.520 imbecile 1.00
00:16:48.040 I might be 1.00
00:16:49.580 misguided
00:16:50.100 I might be
00:16:50.540 mistaken
00:16:51.060 but I did
00:16:53.320 manage to
00:16:54.100 pass the
00:16:54.620 third grade
00:16:55.260 and
00:16:56.700 but to
00:16:57.840 Andrea Mitchell's
00:16:59.260 mind
00:16:59.760 and any
00:17:00.400 Republican
00:17:01.160 is an 0.98
00:17:02.700 oaf
00:17:03.040 is a 0.96
00:17:03.820 bigot
00:17:04.260 is an 0.95
00:17:05.060 imp
00:17:05.200 so the
00:17:05.620 sort of
00:17:06.040 her 1.00
00:17:06.740 ignorant 1.00
00:17:07.320 dripping 1.00
00:17:07.780 no that's
00:17:08.720 Faulkner
00:17:09.300 no my
00:17:11.220 dear
00:17:11.520 I
00:17:12.000 actually
00:17:12.900 have
00:17:13.240 studied
00:17:13.700 literature
00:17:14.260 and
00:17:14.940 it
00:17:16.420 shows
00:17:17.000 a

00:18:13.340 happy
00:18:13.620 to

00:18:14.380 because
00:18:14.780 look
00:18:15.760 Andrea
00:18:16.880 Mitchell
00:18:17.200 is
00:18:17.560 a
00:18:17.760 leftist
00:18:18.220 the
00:18:18.560 interview
00:18:19.060 would
00:18:19.420 not
00:18:19.660 have
00:18:19.860 proceeded
00:18:20.280 differently
00:18:20.860 if
00:18:21.720 they
00:18:21.900 had
00:18:22.120 the
00:18:22.280 press
00:18:22.540 secretary
00:18:23.020 for
00:18:23.320 the
00:18:23.480 Joe
00:18:23.680 Biden

00:18:24.140 president
00:18:24.520 campaign
00:18:25.120 conducting

00:18:26.040 the
00:18:26.680 press
00:18:26.980 secretary
00:18:27.500 would
00:18:27.800 ask
00:18:28.060 the
00:18:28.260 same
00:18:28.480 questions
00:18:28.980 Andrea
00:18:29.340 Mitchell
00:18:29.660 would
00:18:29.940 because
00:18:30.200 they
00:18:30.400 both
00:18:30.720 have
00:18:30.920 the
00:18:31.100 same
00:18:31.320 objective
00:18:31.880 which
00:18:32.620 is
00:18:32.800 to
00:18:32.940 get
00:18:33.140 the
00:18:33.340 Democrats
00:18:33.840 reelected
00:18:34.580 now
00:18:34.820 you
00:18:35.580 look
00:18:35.760 at
00:18:35.920 Kamala's
00:18:36.340 response
00:18:36.800 where
00:18:36.980 Kamala's
00:18:37.500 like
00:18:37.700 well
00:18:37.900 no
00:18:38.160 I
00:18:38.580 don't
00:18:38.860 know
00:18:39.060 what
00:18:39.220 he
00:18:39.340 knows
00:18:39.700 or
00:18:39.840 doesn't
00:18:40.260 know 0.99
00:18:40.600 silly 1.00
00:18:41.400 ignorant 1.00
00:18:42.120 bigoted 1.00
00:18:42.620 Republican
00:18:43.280 but
00:18:44.880 what I
00:18:45.760 know
00:18:46.100 is
00:18:46.320 nobody
00:18:46.900 should
00:18:47.480 censor
00:18:48.060 teachers
00:18:48.820 now
00:18:49.480 let me
00:18:49.740 pause
00:18:50.100 for a
00:18:50.420 second
00:18:50.640 and say
00:18:51.060 that
00:18:51.300 actually
00:18:54.140 well
00:18:54.460 censorship
00:18:54.980 is bad
00:18:55.540 so gosh
00:18:56.020 nobody
00:18:56.300 should
00:18:56.500 censor
00:18:56.820 teachers
00:18:57.180 that sounds
00:18:58.460 great
00:18:58.780 and she
00:18:59.600 says
00:18:59.760 no
00:19:00.080 politician
00:19:00.780 should
00:19:01.160 decide
00:19:01.640 what's
00:19:01.960 taught
00:19:02.160 in
00:19:02.300 school
00:19:02.660 well
00:19:04.020 what
00:19:04.580 she's
00:19:04.860 not
00:19:05.120 acknowledging
00:19:05.660 is that
00:19:06.220 every
00:19:06.660 public
00:19:07.080 school
00:19:07.520 sets
00:19:07.980 curriculum
00:19:08.660 and
00:19:09.200 curriculum
00:19:10.160 is set
00:19:10.760 so for
00:19:11.220 example
00:19:11.680 you choose
00:19:12.480 are we
00:19:13.680 going to
00:19:14.120 teach
00:19:14.620 arithmetic
00:19:15.980 are we
00:19:16.540 going to
00:19:16.780 teach
00:19:17.000 history
00:19:17.420 are we
00:19:17.740 going to
00:19:17.900 teach
00:19:18.160 English
00:19:18.640 what are
00:19:19.040 the
00:19:19.200 topics
00:19:19.780 that we
00:19:20.740 want to
00:19:21.140 set
00:19:21.400 for
00:19:21.640 students
00:19:22.080 to learn
00:19:22.660 in our
00:19:23.120 schools
00:19:23.580 and the
00:19:24.340 irony
00:19:24.660 is
00:19:24.960 when she
00:19:25.280 says
00:19:25.540 no
00:19:25.760 politician
00:19:26.280 should
00:19:26.600 decide
00:19:26.980 what's
00:19:27.240 being
00:19:27.460 taught
00:19:27.900 Kamala
00:19:29.120 Harris
00:19:29.540 adamantly
00:19:30.840 wants
00:19:31.400 what happened
00:19:32.280 here is
00:19:32.740 Ron DeSantis
00:19:33.500 declined to
00:19:34.360 have Florida
00:19:34.800 schools
00:19:35.260 teach
00:19:35.800 the curriculum
00:19:37.060 for the
00:19:37.700 so-called
00:19:38.220 AP course
00:19:39.040 in African
00:19:39.460 American
00:19:39.780 studies
00:19:40.240 that was
00:19:41.000 a hard
00:19:41.680 leftist
00:19:42.260 critical
00:19:42.720 race
00:19:43.180 theory
00:19:43.700 narrative
00:19:44.720 about how
00:19:45.900 America is
00:19:46.560 fundamentally
00:19:47.060 and irredeemably
00:19:47.940 racist
00:19:48.520 it
00:19:49.200 cited
00:19:51.020 numerous
00:19:52.060 Marxist
00:19:53.260 authors
00:19:53.800 pushing
00:19:54.540 critical
00:19:55.160 race
00:19:55.540 theory
00:19:55.940 dividing
00:19:56.820 us
00:19:57.140 on race
00:19:57.680 indoctrinating
00:19:58.920 and this
00:20:00.300 is one
00:20:00.720 of the
00:20:00.940 things
00:20:01.340 that so
00:20:02.700 often
00:20:03.100 today's
00:20:03.560 left
00:20:03.780 does
00:20:04.100 what
00:20:04.360 they're
00:20:04.660 criticizing
00:20:05.420 is what
00:20:06.980 they are
00:20:07.400 trying to
00:20:07.980 do
00:20:08.240 they want
00:20:09.240 teachers
00:20:10.020 to
00:20:10.320 indoctrinate
00:20:11.080 and Kamala
00:20:12.120 throws in
00:20:12.680 teachers
00:20:13.000 and parents
00:20:14.080 well to be
00:20:15.580 honest she
00:20:16.080 doesn't believe
00:20:16.900 and parents
00:20:17.560 because Kamala
00:20:18.480 and Biden
00:20:19.240 and the
00:20:19.840 Democrats
00:20:20.260 they don't
00:20:20.920 want parents
00:20:21.580 to have
00:20:21.940 a say
00:20:22.400 if you
00:20:23.500 ask parents
00:20:24.380 should we
00:20:25.960 be teaching
00:20:26.540 critical race
00:20:27.320 theory in
00:20:27.840 schools the
00:20:28.380 overwhelming
00:20:28.880 majority of
00:20:29.560 parents say
00:20:30.040 no and
00:20:31.060 by the way
00:20:31.600 Democrats
00:20:32.140 when it
00:20:32.380 comes to
00:20:32.640 critical race
00:20:33.200 theory they
00:20:34.360 give incoherent
00:20:35.220 answers on
00:20:35.720 one level
00:20:36.480 they say
00:20:36.860 it's not
00:20:37.340 being taught
00:20:37.940 it's only
00:20:38.340 a college
00:20:38.720 level class
00:20:39.260 on the
00:20:39.480 other level
00:20:39.900 they say
00:20:40.300 if you
00:20:40.920 don't
00:20:41.220 teach it
00:20:41.740 you're
00:20:42.720 erasing
00:20:43.120 slavery
00:20:43.620 from school
00:20:44.260 well
00:20:44.600 those are
00:20:45.520 both
00:20:45.840 false
00:20:46.200 statements
00:20:46.760 but
00:20:48.200 it
00:20:49.380 shows
00:20:50.120 the
00:20:50.620 hard
00:20:51.320 ideology
00:20:52.080 of
00:20:53.280 today's
00:20:53.920 Democrat
00:20:54.360 politicians
00:20:55.000 and also
00:20:55.980 the
00:20:57.560 blatant
00:20:58.360 partisanship
00:20:59.520 of
00:21:01.100 today's
00:21:01.760 corporate
00:21:02.040 media
00:21:02.400 Canadian
00:21:04.100 women are 1.00
00:21:04.600 looking for
00:21:05.100 more

00:21:09.100 world
00:21:09.260 around

00:21:32.240 your
00:21:32.360 podcasts
00:21:32.900 Andrea
00:21:35.260 Mitchell
00:21:35.540 did have
00:21:36.080 to come
00:21:36.460 out after
00:21:37.900 she was
00:21:38.480 hammered
00:21:39.420 for lying
00:21:40.220 and give
00:21:41.680 a quasi
00:21:42.660 apology
00:21:43.640 at the
00:21:44.460 very end
00:21:45.560 of her
00:21:46.120 show
00:21:46.880 as she
00:21:47.720 described
00:21:48.180 as a
00:21:48.660 postscript
00:21:49.720 here is
00:21:50.580 the again
00:21:51.340 fake apology
00:21:52.460 from another
00:21:53.100 member of
00:21:53.680 the liberal
00:21:54.020 media
00:21:54.420 and a
00:21:55.580 postscript
00:21:56.100 in my
00:21:56.840 interview
00:21:57.100 last Friday
00:21:57.680 with Vice
00:21:58.120 President
00:21:58.420 Harris
00:21:58.800 I was
00:21:59.400 imprecise
00:22:00.220 in summarizing
00:22:01.000 Governor's
00:22:01.460 decision
00:22:02.760 about teaching
00:22:03.760 slavery in
00:22:04.400 schools
00:22:04.820 Governor
00:22:05.760 DeSantis
00:22:06.160 is not
00:22:06.620 opposed to
00:22:07.120 teaching the
00:22:07.560 fact of
00:22:08.040 slavery in
00:22:08.580 schools
00:22:08.820 but he
00:22:09.180 has opposed
00:22:09.920 the teaching
00:22:10.700 of an
00:22:11.080 African-American
00:22:11.740 studies
00:22:12.200 curriculum
00:22:12.740 as well as
00:22:13.660 the use of
00:22:14.080 some authors
00:22:14.680 and source
00:22:15.260 materials
00:22:15.700 that historians
00:22:16.660 and teachers
00:22:17.240 say makes
00:22:18.080 it all but
00:22:18.440 impossible for
00:22:19.180 students to
00:22:19.680 understand the
00:22:20.680 broader
00:22:21.000 historic and
00:22:22.020 political context
00:22:23.040 behind slavery
00:22:24.360 and its
00:22:25.180 aftermath in the
00:22:26.000 years since
00:22:26.520 so I'm
00:22:27.780 wrong but
00:22:28.320 I'm still
00:22:29.020 right is
00:22:29.900 that is
00:22:30.340 that the
00:22:30.660 new apology
00:22:31.240 of the
00:22:31.540 left when
00:22:31.940 you screw
00:22:32.400 up this
00:22:32.820 big well
00:22:33.940 she just 0.65
00:22:34.960 gave Don
00:22:35.560 Lemon's
00:22:35.960 apology she 0.90
00:22:36.940 said it
00:22:37.340 was inartful
00:22:38.160 um no
00:22:40.860 it was false
00:22:41.880 it was a
00:22:42.380 blatant lie
00:22:43.220 it was an 1.00
00:22:44.280 ignorant lie 1.00
00:22:45.160 you're still 1.00
00:22:46.040 not correcting
00:22:46.940 the lie and
00:22:48.100 in fact she
00:22:48.760 says he's
00:22:49.240 opposed to
00:22:50.080 teaching an
00:22:51.300 African-American
00:22:52.020 studies curriculum
00:22:53.120 because she
00:22:54.020 says historians
00:22:55.320 say this is
00:22:56.320 necessary to
00:22:57.220 understand it
00:22:57.740 really which
00:22:58.200 historians those
00:22:59.100 would be the
00:23:00.120 Marxists that
00:23:00.920 are pushing
00:23:01.340 critical race
00:23:02.080 theory which
00:23:03.200 I don't know
00:23:04.500 that Mitchell
00:23:04.880 claims this but
00:23:05.580 I'm certain she
00:23:06.340 does uh claim
00:23:08.180 that it's not
00:23:08.840 being taught in
00:23:09.500 schools except
00:23:10.080 now she says
00:23:10.820 it's essential
00:23:11.580 to understand
00:23:13.560 slavery once
00:23:15.820 again it's not
00:23:16.640 an apology it's
00:23:17.500 a non-apology
00:23:18.380 because she
00:23:19.360 flat-out lied
00:23:20.300 she flat-out
00:23:21.720 lied on air
00:23:22.360 and she
00:23:23.460 didn't care
00:23:24.700 to to even
00:23:27.420 bother to know
00:23:28.240 what the facts
00:23:28.840 are and look
00:23:29.260 this is very
00:23:29.800 similar to the
00:23:31.180 earlier controversy
00:23:32.240 in Florida where
00:23:33.340 the media and I
00:23:34.960 don't know if
00:23:35.360 Mitchell said
00:23:35.800 anything about it
00:23:36.520 but I bet she
00:23:37.080 did um where
00:23:38.620 they attack the
00:23:39.680 Florida law as
00:23:40.540 the don't say
00:23:41.160 gay law yeah
00:23:42.380 and it never said
00:23:43.340 that anywhere in
00:23:43.980 there at all
00:23:44.700 what the Florida
00:23:45.900 law essentially
00:23:47.060 said I said if
00:23:47.780 you want to call
00:23:48.300 it something the
00:23:48.860 right thing to
00:23:49.360 call it is
00:23:50.200 don't say sex
00:23:51.080 it prohibited
00:23:52.100 teaching about
00:23:53.500 sexuality for
00:23:55.160 grades pre-k
00:23:56.220 kindergarten
00:23:57.500 first second
00:23:58.400 and third
00:23:58.760 grade so
00:23:59.540 third graders
00:24:00.120 and below
00:24:00.700 don't say
00:24:02.020 sex and by
00:24:03.020 the way look
00:24:03.660 I'm a parent
00:24:04.620 you're a parent
00:24:05.240 I don't want
00:24:06.680 my kindergartner
00:24:07.640 being taught 0.97
00:24:08.240 about gay sex 0.99
00:24:09.020 or straight sex 1.00
00:24:09.900 like I want 0.99
00:24:10.440 my kindergartner
00:24:11.220 playing with
00:24:12.240 blocks yeah
00:24:13.320 and and I
00:24:14.300 would be deeply
00:24:15.120 dismayed to
00:24:15.860 have the teacher
00:24:16.680 getting into
00:24:18.320 sex and 0.54
00:24:19.060 sexuality with
00:24:20.180 five-year-olds
00:24:20.980 most parents
00:24:22.160 agree with
00:24:22.800 that by the
00:24:23.340 way a large
00:24:25.260 majority of
00:24:26.000 Florida parents
00:24:26.740 agree with
00:24:27.240 that and
00:24:27.920 let's be clear
00:24:28.760 the Florida
00:24:29.220 law by fourth
00:24:30.160 grade fourth
00:24:31.200 grade hey
00:24:31.840 have at it
00:24:33.140 you know
00:24:33.500 apparently you
00:24:34.360 know play
00:24:34.720 Debbie does 0.82
00:24:35.220 Dallas and
00:24:35.800 get in anything
00:24:36.340 you want but
00:24:37.100 but wait until
00:24:37.740 they get to
00:24:38.280 fourth grade
00:24:38.880 and so the
00:24:39.940 media was
00:24:40.620 deliberately
00:24:41.620 dishonest about
00:24:43.300 that law just
00:24:44.220 like they're
00:24:44.740 being deliberately
00:24:45.660 dishonest saying
00:24:46.640 don't teach about
00:24:48.240 slavery is like 0.91
00:24:49.180 don't say gay 0.92
00:24:50.060 that is not in
00:24:51.560 fact what is
00:24:52.400 happening but
00:24:53.940 remember we
00:24:54.700 started this
00:24:55.400 podcast with the
00:24:56.400 premise the
00:24:57.760 media has
00:24:58.480 abandoned its
00:24:59.520 mission of
00:25:00.220 actually being
00:25:01.140 journalists and
00:25:01.900 reporting facts
00:25:02.760 can you imagine
00:25:04.080 Walter Cronkite
00:25:06.020 saying what
00:25:07.640 Don Lemon said
00:25:08.380 can you imagine
00:25:09.140 Walter Cronkite
00:25:10.300 asking that
00:25:11.960 profoundly 1.00
00:25:12.760 ignorant and 1.00
00:25:13.560 dishonest question 1.00
00:25:14.500 that Andrea
00:25:14.960 Mitchell said
00:25:15.640 can you imagine
00:25:16.600 Tim Russert
00:25:17.320 doing that
00:25:17.900 there used
00:25:18.440 can you imagine
00:25:18.920 Ted Koppel
00:25:19.660 doing that
00:25:20.220 there used to
00:25:21.320 be actual
00:25:22.260 journalists
00:25:23.000 who cared
00:25:25.220 about getting
00:25:26.780 it right
00:25:27.280 who cared
00:25:28.120 about not
00:25:29.780 engaging in
00:25:31.420 political advocacy
00:25:32.540 and the Don
00:25:33.200 Lemons of the
00:25:33.780 world and the
00:25:34.860 Andrea Mitchells
00:25:35.500 of the world
00:25:36.060 have utterly
00:25:37.300 abandoned any
00:25:38.300 pretense at
00:25:39.040 journalism
00:25:39.520 yeah another
00:25:40.980 example of this
00:25:42.080 is in the
00:25:42.540 New York Times
00:25:43.360 we've got new
00:25:44.480 intel on the
00:25:46.320 fallout of when
00:25:47.560 one of your
00:25:48.120 colleagues was
00:25:49.020 asked to write
00:25:49.740 an op-ed and
00:25:51.280 it was total
00:25:51.920 chaos that this
00:25:53.080 was given to a
00:25:53.920 sitting U.S.
00:25:54.960 senator before I
00:25:55.680 tell you that
00:25:56.040 story I want to
00:25:57.240 talk about our
00:25:58.000 good friends over
00:25:58.700 at Augusta
00:25:59.060 Precious Metals
00:25:59.880 if you've been
00:26:01.600 working hard and
00:26:02.600 preparing for
00:26:03.240 retirement you
00:26:04.160 know right now
00:26:05.080 more than
00:26:05.820 probably any other
00:26:06.460 time you want to
00:26:07.900 protect what you've
00:26:08.820 saved that is
00:26:10.240 where Augusta
00:26:11.100 Precious Metals
00:26:11.800 comes in they
00:26:13.420 want to talk to
00:26:14.260 you about your
00:26:15.200 retirement and
00:26:16.440 protecting your
00:26:18.180 hard-earned
00:26:19.320 assets they do
00:26:20.740 this by using
00:26:21.800 gold and silver
00:26:22.980 Augusta Precious
00:26:24.040 Metals is all

00:26:28.220 this crazy economy
00:26:29.440 it is so important
00:26:30.960 the closer you get
00:26:32.460 to the actual
00:26:33.420 retirement years
00:26:34.440 because there's
00:26:35.320 less time or no
00:26:36.280 time to make up
00:26:37.560 your losses so if
00:26:39.160 you've saved a
00:26:40.900 hundred thousand

00:27:23.820 com senator there was
00:27:25.540 another story this week
00:27:27.060 that really pulled back
00:27:28.400 the curtain behind the
00:27:30.600 initial freak out over
00:27:32.980 Tom Cotton writing an
00:27:35.140 op-ed at the New York
00:27:36.060 Times set the stage for
00:27:37.840 everybody they may have
00:27:38.720 forgotten this story and
00:27:40.280 then we'll get in the
00:27:40.920 nitty-gritty of the
00:27:41.960 total anarchy that
00:27:43.840 happened at the idea of
00:27:45.660 the thought of a sitting
00:27:47.160 U.S. senator writing an
00:27:48.740 op-ed in the New York
00:27:49.400 Times so this was in the
00:27:52.900 summer of 2020 and you'll
00:27:54.540 recall there were Antifa
00:27:56.180 and Black Lives Matter
00:27:57.300 riots all over the city
00:27:58.880 all over the country rather
00:28:00.180 there were American
00:28:01.040 cities on fire there
00:28:03.140 were riots there were
00:28:04.400 stores being looted there
00:28:05.760 were police cars being
00:28:06.840 firebombed there were
00:28:07.900 police officers being
00:28:09.000 murdered and during all
00:28:11.260 of this time Tom Cotton
00:28:12.700 my colleague Republican
00:28:13.860 senator from Arkansas
00:28:14.800 wrote an op-ed and in
00:28:17.020 the op-ed he advocated
00:28:18.720 that the president should
00:28:19.940 send in the National Guard
00:28:21.400 to quell the unrest and
00:28:24.180 he submitted the op-ed to
00:28:25.480 the New York Times I
00:28:26.820 don't believe they
00:28:27.500 solicited it I think he
00:28:28.400 just submitted it and
00:28:30.160 the New York Times made
00:28:31.080 the decision to publish
00:28:31.860 it now personally I
00:28:34.160 actually didn't agree with
00:28:35.300 Tom's op-ed I didn't
00:28:36.580 think that was the right
00:28:37.340 solution to send in the 0.77
00:28:38.300 National Guard I thought
00:28:39.200 it should be handled as a
00:28:40.240 law enforcement matter I
00:28:41.520 think they should have
00:28:42.060 sent in police officers and
00:28:43.360 arrested the rioters and
00:28:44.360 put them in jail but but I
00:28:45.640 didn't think that that was
00:28:48.020 I was not persuaded that the
00:28:49.760 National Guard was the
00:28:50.680 right avenue for stopping the
00:28:53.040 riots I think the riot should
00:28:54.200 have been stopped using law
00:28:55.160 enforcement be that as it
00:28:56.860 may it was a perfectly
00:28:58.740 reasonable point of view and
00:29:01.260 because the New York Times
00:29:04.420 dared to acknowledge it
00:29:06.040 exists there was a meltdown in
00:29:09.740 the newsroom and and one of
00:29:11.640 the things that's happened in
00:29:12.720 journalism is there are lots of
00:29:14.320 20-somethings who were
00:29:16.660 basically kids they've come out
00:29:20.020 of universities that were woke
00:29:22.000 little sanctuaries and they're
00:29:24.040 now working they're working at
00:29:25.300 places like the New York Times
00:29:26.620 and they have very fragile
00:29:28.360 sensitivities and they freaked
00:29:30.360 out they freaked out and
00:29:32.460 demanded that the editor of the
00:29:34.440 editorial page be fired now who
00:29:36.160 was the editor of the editorial
00:29:37.180 page guy named James Bennett
00:29:38.380 James Bennett is a down-the-road
00:29:41.800 left-wing Democrat partisan he is
00:29:46.480 unquestionably Democrat the
00:29:48.660 chances that James Bennett agreed
00:29:50.960 with Tom Cotton's op-ed I can
00:29:52.720 quantify they were 0.00% he did not
00:29:55.640 agree with it by the way James
00:29:57.340 Bennett's brother Michael Bennett
00:29:58.980 is a sitting Democrat senator from
00:30:01.000 the state of Colorado he's a
00:30:02.720 Democrat through and through well
00:30:04.860 the children on the New York Times
00:30:07.400 staff revolted and what happened
00:30:09.460 the weak-kneed ownership of the New
00:30:11.520 York Times promptly responded by
00:30:13.760 firing Bennett why for acknowledge
00:30:16.380 for daring to publish the op-ed now
00:30:19.000 mind you nobody would have minded if
00:30:21.300 the New York Times wrote an
00:30:22.400 editorial next to the op-ed and
00:30:24.080 said we disagree emphatically with
00:30:26.460 the views advocated by Senator
00:30:27.860 Cotton this is a terrible view and
00:30:30.100 it's wrong that's their right but
00:30:31.820 but the children didn't want that
00:30:33.700 they didn't want even the fact that
00:30:37.200 someone had a different view
00:30:38.600 acknowledged and then there's a new
00:30:40.520 book coming out that quotes someone
00:30:43.020 named Charlie Wartzel who I've never
00:30:45.500 heard of but he is apparently a tech
00:30:48.040 writer he's a white guy which
00:30:50.400 unfortunately in the modern leftist
00:30:53.500 order of things races is preeminent 0.94
00:30:56.960 to everything but this fellow
00:30:59.300 Charlie Wartzel the text rock tech
00:31:01.000 writer started to cry because quote
00:31:05.760 and this is from the new book that
00:31:06.780 came out none of his friends wanted to
00:31:10.060 talk to him anymore because he worked
00:31:12.880 for this horrible evil newspaper that
00:31:15.860 would print this op-ed now first of
00:31:19.960 all okay the reporter started to cry
00:31:24.320 are you serious are there any
00:31:27.420 journalists left at the New York Times
00:31:29.720 the idea you think of hardscrabble
00:31:32.240 journalists can you imagine Woodward
00:31:33.720 and Bernstein weeping of oh you very
00:31:36.800 scary thing you publish my friends won't
00:31:39.360 talk to me I mean this sounds like a
00:31:41.900 seventh grader throwing a fit I'm
00:31:44.080 reminded of the great movie a league
00:31:46.040 of their own where where Tom Hanks
00:31:47.740 goes there's no crying in baseball if
00:31:50.620 you had real journalists there should
00:31:52.020 be no crying among journalists look if
00:31:54.780 JFK is shot you can cry if Martin
00:31:57.820 Luther King is shot you can cry if the
00:32:00.360 Challenger space shuttle blows up you
00:32:02.180 can cry but if you read scary words that
00:32:05.600 frighten you and your censorious friends
00:32:09.000 are mad at you a real journalist
00:32:12.040 doesn't cry and complain fire the bad
00:32:15.900 man it it it is indicative of just how
00:32:20.120 broken today's corporate journalist is
00:32:22.620 yeah and and so people understand this
00:32:25.400 as well the reason why Tom Cotton's
00:32:27.820 letter I think was probably published is
00:32:31.140 he's a former guy that enlisted in the
00:32:34.540 United States Army and so he had a
00:32:37.480 unique perspective on the National
00:32:39.440 Guard whether you agree with him or not
00:32:41.460 what he was saying in his op-ed it was
00:32:43.900 it completely made sense for for his
00:32:47.460 op-ed to be published based on his
00:32:50.760 service in the military so people also
00:32:53.080 know this inside baseball back in June
00:32:55.660 of 2006 while he was stationed in Iraq he
00:32:58.440 actually gained a lot of public attention
00:33:00.060 for writing an open letter to the editors
00:33:02.600 of the New York Times so it's not the
00:33:04.800 first time he'd written a letter it's not
00:33:06.260 the first time he'd submitted it to the
00:33:07.760 New York Times either and and yet he does
00:33:10.880 it they print it and then it's off with
00:33:12.840 their head anyone that actually helped
00:33:14.520 allow this to see the light of day
00:33:16.120 look it is an example of how these are no
00:33:23.240 longer journalists the fact that
00:33:27.940 Republicans exist should not be a
00:33:32.220 triggering event for real journalists and
00:33:36.940 these little children that throw fit by
00:33:39.560 the way the New York Times is a hard
00:33:41.740 partisan indoctrination like like I I don't
00:33:45.680 actually understand the value of having an
00:33:48.860 editorial page that only carries one view I
00:33:52.480 guess their diversity of opinion is they
00:33:54.020 have Bolsheviks and Mensheviks but they 0.89
00:33:56.660 almost never run views from any conservative
00:34:00.600 from any Republican the New York Times I
00:34:02.920 have to ask you this how many times have
00:34:04.960 you submitted op-eds over I mean your
00:34:08.040 career it's 10 plus years in the Senate but
00:34:10.460 how many times have you even ever gotten a
00:34:13.700 chance to submit and and and knew that or is
00:34:16.200 it a waste of time I guess a better way of
00:34:18.120 putting it like you know they're gonna say
00:34:19.600 no to you or have you ever had success of
00:34:22.340 writing an op-ed that has actually been
00:34:24.820 published in a liberal newspaper so I've
00:34:27.900 yes I've written over the last 10 years
00:34:32.720 at least dozens probably hundreds of
00:34:35.560 op-eds so I like writing op-eds I like
00:34:37.680 communicating the same reason I do the
00:34:39.140 podcast same reason I write books I think
00:34:42.400 one of the real responsibilities of doing
00:34:45.360 this job is to use the pulley pulpit and
00:34:47.640 try to persuade I've had a lot of op-eds
00:34:51.240 published in the Wall Street Journal that a
00:34:54.360 lot of op-eds published in the Houston
00:34:56.340 Chronicle in the Dallas Morning News have
00:34:58.860 had a lot of op-eds published in USA Today
00:35:01.080 have had op-eds published in the Washington
00:35:04.020 Post I don't remember I think the New York
00:35:07.580 Times may have published one op-ed of mine
00:35:09.800 I don't remember for sure we submit a lot to
00:35:13.100 the New York Times and they fairly routinely
00:35:14.900 turned me down now I will tell you what
00:35:19.260 amusing time when when I did make the New
00:35:21.560 York Times editorial pages so they bashed
00:35:23.620 me repeatedly but one of their left-leaning
00:35:27.320 editorialists a guy named Frank Bruni who
00:35:29.780 had written written in the New York Times
00:35:31.420 bashing me over and over again he retired
00:35:34.520 from the New York Times decided to stop
00:35:36.080 writing and his farewell column was
00:35:38.220 published on June 17th 2021 and it's a
00:35:41.880 fairly remarkable column and and I just
00:35:43.720 pulled it up on my phone a second ago I want
00:35:45.780 to just read you the beginning of it the
00:35:47.040 title of of his column is Ted Cruz I'm
00:35:50.940 sorry and here's how the column begins I
00:35:55.860 owe Ted Cruz an apology though really it's
00:35:58.900 the readers to whom I should say I'm sorry
00:36:00.820 one day in 2015 when I had a column due in
00:36:04.140 hours and couldn't settle on a topic I took
00:36:06.700 the easy route of unloading on Cruz who was
00:36:09.560 one of the many unappealing contenders for
00:36:11.540 the Republican presidential nomination he was
00:36:14.320 fair game for rebuke no question there but
00:36:17.140 did I illuminate his dark character
00:36:18.960 enlighten my readers or advance any
00:36:21.480 worthwhile cause by comparing him
00:36:23.700 repeatedly to the unstoppable entity in
00:36:28.080 the horror movie it follows no I just
00:36:32.320 swam with the snide tide I did that too
00:36:37.020 often many columns do and he goes on to
00:36:41.780 talk about how basically in the columns he
00:36:44.680 just wrote hard leftist dribble because it
00:36:49.100 was easier to propagandize with all of the
00:36:52.720 assumptions of one political side versus
00:36:56.100 actually being a real objective commentator
00:37:02.040 which sadly the New York Times and and much
00:37:05.820 of the corporate media has abandoned as a
00:37:08.700 vision for what they will do yeah at least
00:37:11.040 they got it right on this last one though
00:37:12.340 right I mean just see you do your whole
00:37:13.840 career being a sellout and you're like
00:37:15.300 okay maybe I should have done it a little
00:37:16.900 differently you can't make that up I want
00:37:19.300 to go I did did kind of like that that
00:37:21.620 his 2015 column compared me to an evil
00:37:25.180 malevolent demonic spirit I have joked more
00:37:28.600 than once I've made this promise on the
00:37:30.680 campaign trail I've said listen if the New
00:37:32.680 York Times ever starts praising me I may
00:37:35.340 have to resign right then and there and and
00:37:37.900 so you know calling me you know Beelzebub
00:37:40.700 is is probably par for the course for the
00:37:43.040 times yeah and you know what it's not the
00:37:44.960 worst thing someone's ever said that's what
00:37:46.400 I always remind me that I can't believe so
00:37:48.160 and so said something about you I'm like
00:37:49.560 trust me it's not the worst thing that's
00:37:51.820 ever been said just get my name right that's
00:37:53.960 all I care about you do that and I'm happy
00:37:55.800 to move on one last thing and the media is
00:37:59.160 freaking out over this and the lefties are
00:38:01.960 just losing it there was a headline also
00:38:05.500 in the New York Times an opinion piece
00:38:07.960 by Brett Stevens and the headline reads
00:38:10.420 the mask mandates did nothing period will

00:39:39.680 piece the New York Times by Brett Steven
00:39:41.260 was awesome just because the pictures and
00:39:44.380 if you look at the pictures it's all these
00:39:46.320 disgusting masks that are on the ground
00:39:49.140 that polluted the country and really the
00:39:51.600 world because the obsession with masks and
00:39:54.660 now we're finding out that the most
00:39:57.660 rigorous and this is from this op-ed and
00:40:00.140 comprehensive analysis of scientific
00:40:02.160 studies conducted on the efficiency of
00:40:04.040 masks for reducing the spread of
00:40:06.060 respiratory illnesses including COVID-19 it
00:40:09.140 was published late last month not a lot of
00:40:11.460 hoopla and the consensus was clear this
00:40:14.940 was basically a total waste of time there
00:40:17.760 was no evidence quote that they mask make
00:40:20.360 any difference is what was said full stop
00:40:24.200 in this and the man the left is freaking
00:40:26.760 out over the fact the New York Times
00:40:28.520 allowed this to even be published well
00:40:31.260 that's exactly right and I'll tell you that
00:40:33.200 the op-ed continues after the authors of
00:40:37.940 this story says there is just no evidence
00:40:40.980 that they masks make any difference full
00:40:43.480 stop the op-ed goes on from there to say but
00:40:47.500 wait hold on what about N95 masks as
00:40:50.760 opposed to lower quality surgical mask or
00:40:52.700 cloth masks makes no difference none of
00:40:56.040 it said Jefferson what about the studies
00:40:58.540 that initially persuaded policymakers to
00:41:00.320 impose mask mandates they were convinced by
00:41:03.460 non-randomized studies flawed observational
00:41:06.680 studies what what about the utility of
00:41:09.620 masks in conjunction with other preventive
00:41:11.540 measures such as hand hygiene and physical
00:41:13.920 distancing or air filtration there is no
00:41:17.440 evidence that many of these things make
00:41:20.860 any difference and the op-ed continues these
00:41:23.480 observations don't just come from anywhere
00:41:25.740 Jefferson and 11 colleagues conducted the
00:41:28.440 study for Cochrane a British non-profit is
00:41:31.200 widely considered the gold standard for its
00:41:32.900 reviews of health care data the conclusions
00:41:35.180 were based on 78 randomized controlled trials
00:41:37.660 six of them done during the COVID pandemic
00:41:39.480 with a total of six hundred and ten thousand
00:41:41.560 eight hundred and seventy two participants in
00:41:43.500 multiple countries and they track what has
00:41:45.680 been widely observed in the United States
00:41:47.580 states with mask mandate mandates fared no
00:41:52.120 better against COVID than those without now look 1.00
00:41:56.100 you and I were saying this a year ago we were
00:42:00.700 saying this two years ago the data were there
00:42:04.100 then by the way Fauci said it two years ago
00:42:08.420 until he decided it was politically more
00:42:10.700 advantageous to flip and order people to wear
00:42:14.680 masks and you are right it's stunning the
00:42:20.000 times publish this I do wonder if there is a
00:42:23.440 newsroom of crying children screaming that
00:42:28.360 somebody else be fired for daring to publish
00:42:30.800 this but also more broadly where's the
00:42:35.580 accountability where's Fauci being held
00:42:38.040 accountable where's Joe Biden being held
00:42:40.520 accountable right now today the Biden
00:42:42.380 administration is litigating in federal
00:42:44.280 court to have the authority to reinstate
00:42:46.800 the mask mandate on airplanes now if this
00:42:50.580 is right that the data show they have zero
00:42:53.040 efficacy who's going to stand up and say I
00:42:57.200 was wrong have you heard Joe Biden say that
00:42:59.460 no he's not going to say Chuck Schumer or
00:43:02.460 Fauci or anyone these people that wrecked our
00:43:07.100 economy that destroyed millions of children's
00:43:10.480 education that destroyed businesses that that
00:43:13.600 did trillions of dollars of damage these
00:43:17.500 people that decreed that elderly would die alone and
00:43:23.560 not have their children and grandchildren able to hold
00:43:26.400 their hands have to date born zero responsibility and even
00:43:30.920 worse they try to gaslight the American people you have Randy
00:43:35.100 Weingarten saying oh we didn't want to shut down schools it was
00:43:38.300 Republicans who shut down schools it's the absolute brazen
00:43:43.480 chutzpah of just inverting reality and yet you know what our corporate
00:43:51.420 media the double standard like Don Lemon everyone who got up and lied to
00:43:56.420 you for year after year after year like Don Lemon will be back on air like
00:44:00.180 Andrea Mitchell will be back on air because if you are lying in pursuit of 0.99
00:44:05.460 leftist ideology truth and falsity don't matter integrity doesn't matter
00:44:10.660 standards don't matter if you are a propagandist if you work at
00:44:15.540 Pravda which sadly too many of our journalists believe they do then all that
00:44:21.940 matters is your politics and journalism is dead I couldn't have said it
00:44:27.000 better myself senator it was a fun show today just to look at this terrible
