Verdict with Ted Cruz - Oops-Biden Pretends his Open Borders were an Accident, plus Fauci Defiant & Denying

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.220 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:07.760 Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.260 And Senator, finally, we've got some real action

00:00:12.180 from the President of the United States of America

00:00:14.580 on the border with executive actions

00:00:17.800 that he said he could never do,

00:00:19.260 but now all of a sudden he's all about it.

00:00:22.080 Well, that's exactly right.

00:00:23.700 We saw yesterday a campaign speech from the White House.

00:00:28.560 The President now claiming he is tough, tough, tough

00:00:32.160 on the border.

00:00:33.900 And he's going to impose tough executive action now,

00:00:38.280 just coincidentally, five months before an election.

00:00:40.900 We're going to break that down.

00:00:42.020 We're going to explain exactly what he did.

00:00:44.280 We're also going to talk about Dr. Fauci.

00:00:46.360 Dr. Fauci was on the Hill.

00:00:48.260 Dr. Fauci was testifying, and spoiler alert,

00:00:51.400 Dr. Fauci thinks every single thing we did during COVID

00:00:55.060 was a great idea. 0.97

00:00:56.600 Shut every damn thing down. 0.99

00:00:57.980 Mask everyone down. 0.98

00:00:59.180 Force everyone to be vaccinated.

00:01:01.040 Never mind the science.

00:01:02.180 We're going to talk about that.

00:01:03.100 And finally, I'm going to mention a trip that I'm taking.

00:01:05.760 I'm taking today.

00:01:07.140 I'm going to be flying to France.

00:01:08.680 I don't go to France often,

00:01:10.160 but I'm going to France today for Normandy,

00:01:14.000 for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

00:01:15.800 I'm going to talk about that.

00:01:17.200 It's going to be a great show.

00:01:18.920 I want to tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick.

00:01:21.340 And if you have a cell phone,

00:01:22.580 a lot of you have made the switch.

00:01:24.160 And I get emails now and messages on social media from people saying,

00:01:27.820 Ben, you weren't kidding.

00:01:29.220 Patriot Mobile is incredible.

00:01:30.820 They're the only conservative Christian wireless provider.

00:01:34.760 And you make a difference when you make a switch,

00:01:36.900 because they take about 5% of your bill every month at no extra cost to you.

00:01:40.980 And they give it back to organizations that support free speech,

00:01:45.420 religious freedom, which is under attack in this country.

00:01:48.200 And they protect the sanctity of life of unborn children.

00:01:51.780 They also advocate for the Second Amendment,

00:01:53.800 as well as our military, our veterans,

00:01:56.040 and they help with our wounded warrior heroes in this country.

00:02:00.200 Now, that is what they do when you pay your bill.

00:02:04.060 But the best part is this.

00:02:05.620 You're not giving your money to big mobile

00:02:08.100 that are actually supporting liberal causes.

00:02:10.620 Patriot Mobile wouldn't exist if it wasn't for big mobile

00:02:14.060 giving massive donations to Democrats running at the local, state, and national level.

00:02:19.700 And activist organizations including massive donations to Planned Parenthood.

00:02:25.180 If you don't want your money going there,

00:02:28.320 make the switch to Patriot Mobile.

00:02:30.220 It is so easy now with technology.

00:02:32.140 You don't have to go to a store.

00:02:33.780 You can just call them.

00:02:35.440 And you can switch.

00:02:36.600 Now, I switched the line a couple months ago,

00:02:38.240 and I can tell you it's never been easier.

00:02:39.920 It was done over the phone quickly.

00:02:42.780 I got to keep my same phone.

00:02:44.440 I have the same number that I had before.

00:02:46.820 It is seamless transition.

00:02:49.200 And when it comes to service,

00:02:50.700 you're going to be on the same towers that you're used to right now.

00:02:54.520 Welcome to 2024 changing your phone.

00:02:56.940 It is not hard anymore.

00:02:59.140 Call Patriot Mobile.

00:03:00.240 Make that switch today and stand up for the values you believe in.

00:03:03.040 9-7-2-PATRIOT.

00:03:05.080 That's 9-7-2-PATRIOT.

00:03:20.180 Senator Biden came out.

00:03:21.720 He signed this executive order.

00:03:23.220 He didn't do it at the border.

00:03:24.440 He just did it, you know, in normal Washington, D.C.

00:03:27.340 He's a guy that's like, hey, there's a problem down there,

00:03:29.960 but it's the fault of the Republicans.

00:03:32.300 And he said for the last three years he couldn't do anything.

00:03:35.260 His hands were tied.

00:03:36.080 It was the Republicans' fault.

00:03:37.320 They need to pass amnesty and then get a bill together through Washington,

00:03:41.660 through Congress.

00:03:42.880 And then all of a sudden Biden comes out and signs an executive order

00:03:45.780 that, quote, will dramatically tighten the border.

00:03:48.120 That's the White House said the problem is it doesn't at all.

00:03:52.200 Well, listen, let me focus on a couple of things you said.

00:03:54.640 Number one, you said he didn't do this at the border.

00:03:57.260 There's a reason for that.

00:03:58.360 Joe Biden doesn't go to the border.

00:04:00.360 Kamala Harris doesn't go to the border. 0.84

00:04:02.420 Democrat senators don't go to the border.

00:04:04.760 Democrat House members don't go to the border.

00:04:06.460 And the reason is if you actually see what is happening at the border,

00:04:10.600 nobody can defend it.

00:04:12.160 If you see the dead bodies, if you see the people who are suffering,

00:04:15.280 if you see the children who are being brutalized,

00:04:17.680 if you see the women who are being repeatedly raped,

00:04:20.340 you cannot defend it.

00:04:22.060 So he did it from Washington.

00:04:23.900 This was not about immigration.

00:04:25.600 This was not about policy.

00:04:27.660 This was a political speech.

00:04:29.940 And so today he announced boldly,

00:04:33.060 we are enacting an executive order to secure the border.

00:04:37.160 Now understand what he's admitting when he said that today is he's admitting

00:04:43.380 he could have done this in 2021.

00:04:47.680 He could have done this in 2022.

00:04:50.900 He could have done this in 2023.

00:04:52.560 He could have done this last month,

00:04:54.080 the month before,

00:04:54.700 the month before,

00:04:55.300 the month before.

00:04:56.420 He didn't.

00:04:57.800 Why?

00:04:58.040 Are you saying that Joe Biden lied to the American people,

00:05:00.600 Senator?

00:05:01.200 Every day.

00:05:01.660 He said he couldn't do anything.

00:05:03.280 Every day he's been in the White House.

00:05:04.580 He's been lying.

00:05:05.940 He could have enacted an executive order.

00:05:09.480 Actually,

00:05:09.780 he didn't need to.

00:05:11.120 Understand,

00:05:11.720 when Joe Biden became president,

00:05:13.140 January 20th,

00:05:14.200 2021,

00:05:15.300 he inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years.

00:05:20.500 All he had to do with nothing was nothing.

00:05:22.800 He didn't even have to have an executive order.

00:05:24.940 He had to do nothing and accept the success that he had inherited.

00:05:30.600 I worked hand in hand with Donald Trump.

00:05:32.800 We had incredible success securing the border.

00:05:35.900 If Biden had done nothing,

00:05:37.300 he could have accepted that success.

00:05:39.020 He could have worked on like,

00:05:40.680 you know,

00:05:41.080 socialism or whatever other policy he had.

00:05:43.640 He didn't do that.

00:05:45.420 Instead,

00:05:46.080 he deliberately systematically broke the border.

00:05:48.560 He did that the first week in office.

00:05:51.320 There are three decisions that caused this border crisis.

00:05:54.940 Number one,

00:05:55.900 he immediately halted construction of the border wall.

00:05:58.180 By the way,

00:05:58.540 he didn't reverse that today.

00:06:01.020 Number two,

00:06:02.540 he reinstated the disastrous policy of catch and release.

00:06:06.980 So now when people apprehend illegal immigrants, 0.66

00:06:10.300 the Biden administration lets them go.

00:06:13.080 He didn't change that today.

00:06:15.920 Number three,

00:06:16.740 he pulled out of the incredibly successful remain in Mexico agreement.

00:06:21.180 That is how we achieved the lowest rate of illegal immigration,

00:06:24.940 in 45 years.

00:06:26.140 He did not reverse that.

00:06:28.600 Those three decisions took us from the lowest rate in 45 years up to the highest rate ever recorded.

00:06:38.580 11 million illegal immigrants have crossed under Joe Biden.

00:06:43.300 Understand this is deliberate.

00:06:45.600 This is the outcome they want.

00:06:48.560 They're willing to overlook every person who dies,

00:06:51.400 every criminal who comes into this country, 0.88

00:06:53.260 every terrorist who comes into this country,

00:06:55.080 every child who is brutalized, 0.74

00:06:56.980 every woman who is raped.

00:06:58.340 All of that they're willing to overlook. 0.66

00:07:00.380 Why?

00:07:00.720 Because they look at 11 million illegals, 1.00

00:07:02.680 and they say those are future Democrat voters,

00:07:05.240 and we want power.

00:07:06.560 And if people have to suffer and die,

00:07:09.420 we'll take that trade off.

00:07:10.640 Now, go ahead.

00:07:12.920 No, my question was,

00:07:14.140 you look at this,

00:07:15.260 and you mentioned the timing in the intro,

00:07:17.040 that this is five months before Election Day.

00:07:19.900 And the White House is going to say,

00:07:20.800 no, this is significant.

00:07:22.000 I go back to the headline from NBC News.

00:07:24.120 It says,

00:07:24.420 Biden signs executive order dramatically tightening the border.

00:07:27.720 He has faced political pressure

00:07:29.060 as migrants have continued to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border,

00:07:32.400 saying that this is,

00:07:33.860 because of the facing,

00:07:35.420 mounting political pressure over the migrant influx

00:07:37.640 at the U.S.-Southern border,

00:07:39.620 and this is significant.

00:07:40.780 You're saying that the news is lying as well,

00:07:43.160 because this is not significant at all.

00:07:46.040 Well, yes and no.

00:07:48.480 Look, we're five months out from an election.

00:07:50.520 I'm going to make a prediction.

00:07:52.460 We're going to see the numbers of the border drop

00:07:54.960 over the next five months.

00:07:57.080 They're not going to drop massively.

00:07:59.120 They're going to drop modestly.

00:08:01.380 And Joe Biden and the Democrats

00:08:03.120 are going to jump up and down and say,

00:08:04.760 see, we solved the problem.

00:08:06.140 And we've seen this game.

00:08:08.600 Listen, they only have about three plays in their playbook.

00:08:11.160 They're not subtle.

00:08:12.780 They're not sophisticated.

00:08:13.820 They're not complicated.

00:08:15.540 Think before 2022.

00:08:18.060 What did Biden do before the election then?

00:08:20.400 He did a couple of things.

00:08:21.240 Number one,

00:08:22.380 right before the election,

00:08:23.640 he released massive quantities of oil

00:08:25.500 from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

00:08:27.680 Why?

00:08:28.120 Yeah, put us at an all-time low, by the way,

00:08:29.780 in our oil reserves,

00:08:30.560 and didn't care that that made us vulnerable.

00:08:32.460 He doesn't care.

00:08:33.580 National security,

00:08:34.860 protecting the country,

00:08:36.140 doesn't matter to this administration.

00:08:38.600 They have consistently undermined national security

00:08:42.220 from day one.

00:08:43.060 But it was all designed to lower gas prices.

00:08:46.100 So gas prices,

00:08:47.220 the price of gasoline had doubled under Joe Biden.

00:08:50.420 So he does this massive release from the Spro. 0.93

00:08:53.760 Why?

00:08:55.100 Because he wanted to lower gas prices.

00:08:56.920 And he succeeded.

00:08:57.820 They lowered gas prices a little bit.

00:08:59.720 And then they campaigned,

00:09:01.660 see, gas prices are going down.

00:09:03.540 And by the way,

00:09:04.340 they enjoyed some electoral success.

00:09:08.560 Because,

00:09:09.300 I think in part,

00:09:11.740 gas prices went down.

00:09:13.680 I'll give another example.

00:09:15.660 Student loans.

00:09:17.220 Right before the election in 2022,

00:09:19.540 Joe Biden announces,

00:09:20.500 I'm giving away a trillion dollars.

00:09:23.320 Young people,

00:09:24.600 I'm giving you money.

00:09:25.700 I'm Santa Claus.

00:09:26.580 All you got to do is vote for Democrats.

00:09:28.220 I give you money.

00:09:29.720 Now,

00:09:30.160 Joe Biden knew

00:09:31.600 that that was not going to survive.

00:09:35.400 I promise you,

00:09:36.440 every lawyer in the administration

00:09:37.980 told him,

00:09:38.700 Mr. President,

00:09:39.180 as president,

00:09:41.280 you can't give away a trillion dollars.

00:09:43.820 There's no power in the Constitution

00:09:45.200 for the president to give away a trillion dollars.

00:09:47.520 The only way to spend a trillion dollars

00:09:49.180 is if Congress appropriates that money.

00:09:51.160 They haven't done that.

00:09:52.660 This will be struck down by the courts.

00:09:55.740 I promise you,

00:09:56.440 DOJ said that.

00:09:57.640 Even the White House counsel said that.

00:09:59.080 Every lawyer around Biden said,

00:10:01.380 this ain't going to survive.

00:10:02.860 And you know what they said?

00:10:03.520 We don't care.

00:10:04.840 We're going to announce it.

00:10:06.520 Because their view is, 1.00

00:10:07.900 they think young people are stupid. 1.00

00:10:10.220 And they think young people will be like, 1.00

00:10:12.060 ooh, free stuff.

00:10:12.920 Vote for Democrats.

00:10:13.860 And by the way,

00:10:14.600 again,

00:10:15.640 2022,

00:10:16.500 they enjoyed some electoral success.

00:10:18.180 Now, let's be clear.

00:10:19.240 Biden's done it again.

00:10:20.240 He announced a brand new,

00:10:21.840 I'm giving away

00:10:22.980 hundreds of billions of dollars

00:10:24.520 of student loans.

00:10:25.760 That's going to be struck down too.

00:10:28.300 Biden knows it. 1.00

00:10:29.920 But he thinks young people are morons. 1.00

00:10:33.160 And so he thinks he will buy votes. 1.00

00:10:34.760 And so this announcement

00:10:36.800 is entirely designed.

00:10:38.700 In three weeks,

00:10:39.480 he's going to be debating Donald Trump.

00:10:41.380 Yeah.

00:10:41.600 And he's going to stand on the debate stage

00:10:43.340 and he's going to say,

00:10:44.960 Donald?

00:10:45.840 He's not going to call him Mr. President.

00:10:47.260 He's calling him Donald.

00:10:48.920 Donald?

00:10:49.920 I just entered an executive order

00:10:52.040 to secure the border

00:10:53.080 because you,

00:10:54.460 and he's going to blame Donald Trump,

00:10:56.240 you killed the fabulous bipartisan bill

00:10:59.720 that would have solved this problem.

00:11:01.260 Now, every syllable of every word

00:11:03.820 of that sentence is a lie.

00:11:06.080 And I'm going to wager you a white claw.

00:11:11.620 I can't wait.

00:11:12.440 Anything else.

00:11:13.340 Those things are terrible.

00:11:15.120 You don't want to win the wager.

00:11:16.940 You get a white claw.

00:11:17.520 What do you do with it?

00:11:18.120 Not for a white claw.

00:11:19.160 That's losing.

00:11:20.760 By the way,

00:11:21.480 for those of you all listening,

00:11:22.640 why are we wagering a white claw?

00:11:24.040 Because when I was riding

00:11:25.060 in the Houston Astros victory parade

00:11:27.500 for winning the World Series,

00:11:29.200 some lefty 20-something guy

00:11:32.360 threw not one,

00:11:33.300 but two white claws at me. 0.82

00:11:35.580 And so that's why we wager a white claw

00:11:38.400 because the secret is,

00:11:40.140 Ben really loves the raspberry kiwi pomegranate

00:11:46.120 with the umbrella white claw.

00:11:51.340 You're getting Boone's Farm blueberry

00:11:54.500 for Christmas this year.

00:11:56.240 I'm just saying, Ben.

00:11:57.360 A whole case.

00:11:57.880 A whole case.

00:11:58.380 Ben, let me ask you something.

00:11:59.820 If you admit you love white claw,

00:12:03.200 does Ole Miss rescind your diploma?

00:12:05.780 They should.

00:12:06.740 They absolutely should.

00:12:07.720 I actually think Ole Miss would be like,

00:12:09.360 you're not a graduate of our university.

00:12:11.620 I'm sorry.

00:12:12.080 I don't know what's wrong with you.

00:12:12.600 Take back a diploma.

00:12:13.760 That's just blasphemy right there, 0.90

00:12:16.120 my friends.

00:12:17.640 Blasphemy.

00:12:19.940 I would rather go with,

00:12:21.800 no, I almost said Miller Lite.

00:12:23.020 I take that, I mean, Bud Lite.

00:12:24.480 I take that back.

00:12:25.080 It's like a hard one between Bud Lite or,

00:12:27.260 I'd pick white claw over Bud Lite.

00:12:29.120 White claw over Bud Lite.

00:12:30.460 That's not even close, dude.

00:12:31.760 Yeah.

00:12:32.220 It's Bud Lite.

00:12:33.200 I can't go back.

00:12:34.420 All right.

00:12:34.940 So, but let me say this.

00:12:36.360 And by the way,

00:12:37.260 all right,

00:12:37.480 I'm going to make a connection

00:12:39.420 to the Houston Astros.

00:12:41.640 World Series,

00:12:43.300 2022,

00:12:44.180 we're winning it.

00:12:45.820 I've been,

00:12:46.680 so for the last seven years,

00:12:48.140 Houston Astros have been in the ALCS

00:12:50.240 for seven years consecutively.

00:12:53.420 Yep.

00:12:53.980 My youngest daughter,

00:12:55.000 Catherine,

00:12:55.400 she's 13 now.

00:12:57.200 She was seven

00:12:58.140 when we won the first World Series

00:13:00.640 in 2017.

00:13:02.260 We have been to virtually

00:13:04.060 every single home game

00:13:05.920 in the playoffs

00:13:06.660 for the last seven years.

00:13:08.360 It's been,

00:13:09.220 I got to say,

00:13:09.960 actually,

00:13:10.200 as a dad,

00:13:11.680 what a joy it has been

00:13:13.280 to like,

00:13:14.040 take your daughter. 0.57

00:13:15.080 These are memories.

00:13:16.460 And I keep telling her,

00:13:17.460 she's sort of used to it.

00:13:18.620 In fact,

00:13:18.860 she made a comment 0.95

00:13:19.640 a year or two ago.

00:13:22.100 She's like,

00:13:22.780 hey, Dad,

00:13:23.200 when are we going to go

00:13:24.140 to the play?

00:13:24.620 When are we going to go

00:13:25.440 to an Astros game?

00:13:26.140 Because we hadn't been in a while.

00:13:27.560 Yeah.

00:13:28.060 And I made a comment.

00:13:29.620 I felt incredibly embarrassed

00:13:31.280 as soon as I said it.

00:13:32.200 I said,

00:13:32.500 we'll wait to the playoffs.

00:13:33.620 And I like stopped

00:13:34.580 and I'm like,

00:13:35.100 Catherine,

00:13:35.620 oh my goodness,

00:13:37.040 I'm tempting

00:13:37.800 the baseball gods.

00:13:39.180 Don't jinx it.

00:13:39.940 I'm sorry.

00:13:40.340 I'm sorry.

00:13:41.280 I like immediately told her,

00:13:43.420 but I'm going to tell you

00:13:43.960 another Catherine comment,

00:13:45.060 which you'll really like.

00:13:46.320 So 2022,

00:13:47.460 and you know my girls

00:13:49.300 very, very well.

00:13:50.260 Yep.

00:13:50.980 But 2022,

00:13:53.240 so ALCS,

00:13:54.780 we're getting ready to head

00:13:57.000 and you had the Yankees

00:13:58.460 and Cleveland playing.

00:14:00.180 And Catherine asked me,

00:14:01.260 she said,

00:14:01.640 okay,

00:14:02.100 who do we want to win?

00:14:03.340 Because we'd already made

00:14:04.100 it to the ALCS

00:14:04.700 and the Yankees

00:14:05.980 and Cleveland

00:14:06.360 were still playing.

00:14:07.020 And I said,

00:14:07.500 well,

00:14:08.440 the Yankees are better.

00:14:10.840 So if we want to say

00:14:12.940 what maximizes the chance

00:14:15.700 of the Astros winning,

00:14:16.660 we probably want Cleveland

00:14:17.840 and Catherine

00:14:19.440 at age 11,

00:14:22.280 I think it was,

00:14:23.820 she said,

00:14:24.360 dad,

00:14:24.900 no,

00:14:25.920 if we're going to win,

00:14:27.320 I want to beat the best.

00:14:28.640 I want the Yankees to win

00:14:29.780 and I want to beat them.

00:14:30.760 And I got to tell you 0.99

00:14:31.820 as a dad,

00:14:32.280 I don't know

00:14:32.880 that there's been a moment

00:14:33.660 I've been more proud

00:14:34.460 of that girl.

00:14:35.040 I'm like,

00:14:35.440 that is my daughter.

00:14:37.960 That's stout.

00:14:38.940 See,

00:14:39.220 that's when you know

00:14:39.720 you raised them right,

00:14:40.460 right there.

00:14:40.920 You just got to get them

00:14:41.740 addicted to the sports

00:14:42.720 and your home team

00:14:43.560 and everything's good.

00:14:44.420 to be clear,

00:14:44.920 the Yankees won

00:14:45.620 and then we swept them

00:14:46.380 in four games

00:14:47.060 and I went to Yankee Stadium

00:14:48.440 for game four

00:14:49.200 and we beat them

00:14:50.000 in Yankee Stadium

00:14:51.060 and I was in bright orange,

00:14:52.660 Astros colors

00:14:53.340 and it was glorious.

00:14:54.140 And I will say,

00:14:55.060 by the way, 0.99

00:14:55.560 we have a crap ton

00:14:56.880 of listeners on Verdict

00:14:58.100 who live in New York.

00:14:59.000 I'm sorry,

00:15:00.280 but as Houstonian,

00:15:02.080 I take great joy

00:15:02.880 in our beating the Yankees.

00:15:03.800 That's the best part

00:15:04.640 about going,

00:15:05.080 hey,

00:15:05.400 trust me,

00:15:05.840 they gave you enough

00:15:06.580 high fives in the air,

00:15:08.980 right?

00:15:10.280 I had at least

00:15:13.360 200 New Yorkers

00:15:14.840 suggest that I do

00:15:16.560 something anatomically

00:15:17.680 impossible.

00:15:18.520 Yeah,

00:15:18.940 that's when you know

00:15:20.220 you're at a playoff game

00:15:21.080 in New York.

00:15:21.700 And I'm in bright orange

00:15:22.860 and I'm just smiling

00:15:23.880 and all I'd say

00:15:25.000 is I'd point up

00:15:25.860 and I'd say scoreboard

00:15:26.820 and they're just like,

00:15:28.220 ah!

00:15:28.920 I'm like,

00:15:29.540 I hope you enjoy

00:15:30.500 watching the World Series

00:15:31.560 on TV.

00:15:32.640 Now,

00:15:32.840 I will say this

00:15:33.480 right now

00:15:33.820 the Astros season

00:15:34.720 is less than optimal

00:15:36.700 so maybe they turn it around

00:15:38.160 but it's not feeling

00:15:40.460 like a fantastic year

00:15:41.640 right now.

00:15:42.760 Canadian women

00:15:43.500 are looking for more.

00:15:44.820 More out of themselves,

00:15:45.880 their businesses,

00:15:46.840 their elected leaders,

00:15:47.780 and the world around them.

00:15:48.980 And that's why

00:15:49.460 we're thrilled

00:15:49.960 to introduce

00:15:50.620 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:15:52.660 I'm Jennifer Stewart

00:15:53.660 and I'm Catherine Clark

00:15:54.880 and in this podcast

00:15:56.060 we interview

00:15:56.760 Canada's most inspiring women.

00:15:58.880 Entrepreneurs,

00:15:59.580 artists,

00:16:00.260 athletes,

00:16:00.860 politicians,

00:16:01.300 and newsmakers

00:16:02.220 all at different stages

00:16:03.500 of their journey.

00:16:04.640 So,

00:16:04.980 if you're looking to connect

00:16:06.200 then we hope you'll join us.

00:16:07.860 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast

00:16:09.260 on iHeartRadio

00:16:10.260 or wherever you listen

00:16:11.220 to your podcasts.

00:16:11.940 All right,

00:16:14.140 I've got to ask you

00:16:14.900 two questions

00:16:15.740 real quick

00:16:16.220 about the border.

00:16:17.460 One of them,

00:16:18.500 and I want to know

00:16:19.580 your thoughts

00:16:20.220 because I'm genuinely

00:16:21.740 torn on this.

00:16:24.440 You,

00:16:24.800 NBC News,

00:16:25.980 they came out

00:16:27.120 and they're like,

00:16:29.320 hey,

00:16:29.820 this executive

00:16:30.720 order from Biden

00:16:32.260 is one

00:16:33.780 that probably

00:16:34.480 isn't going to have

00:16:35.180 that big of an impact.

00:16:36.620 And at first,

00:16:37.580 I'm like,

00:16:38.000 wow,

00:16:38.240 they're telling the truth.

00:16:39.140 But then there was

00:16:39.740 a second part of this

00:16:40.820 in my mind.

00:16:42.180 And I want to know

00:16:42.760 your thoughts.

00:16:43.740 Is this NBC News

00:16:45.260 carrying water

00:16:46.100 for the White House

00:16:47.140 to those

00:16:49.020 that are angry

00:16:50.480 that Biden

00:16:51.520 would even think

00:16:52.180 about using

00:16:52.800 an executive action

00:16:53.620 that looks like

00:16:54.260 something,

00:16:54.840 quote,

00:16:54.920 Trump would have done,

00:16:55.920 right?

00:16:56.220 Or did.

00:16:57.040 That's a better way

00:16:57.640 of putting it.

00:16:58.580 And so,

00:16:59.220 they're trying

00:16:59.720 to kind of

00:17:00.220 wink and nod

00:17:00.980 to the hardcore

00:17:02.020 extremist base

00:17:03.100 of his movement

00:17:04.220 that,

00:17:04.540 hey,

00:17:04.620 guys,

00:17:04.880 don't worry.

00:17:05.940 This is all

00:17:06.680 for the cameras.

00:17:07.460 This is all

00:17:07.960 for show.

00:17:09.340 This isn't actually

00:17:10.440 to secure the border.

00:17:11.500 We're fine.

00:17:12.120 We're going to keep 0.99

00:17:12.580 flooding America.

00:17:13.560 And I want your response

00:17:14.660 after I play it.

00:17:15.520 Listen.

00:17:16.540 Based on the details

00:17:17.620 of this executive order

00:17:18.560 and how it actually

00:17:19.340 functions that we've

00:17:20.880 learned so far today,

00:17:22.200 I actually have to say

00:17:22.940 I'm quite skeptical

00:17:24.300 that this is going

00:17:24.960 to have any kind

00:17:25.560 of immediate

00:17:26.200 widespread

00:17:26.920 dramatic impact

00:17:28.580 on the border,

00:17:29.280 on the number

00:17:29.720 of migrants 0.99

00:17:30.180 who are crossing

00:17:30.600 the border

00:17:30.960 and on the number

00:17:31.620 of migrants 0.99

00:17:31.980 who managed

00:17:32.320 to stay

00:17:32.720 in the United States

00:17:33.380 as a result.

00:17:34.280 And there's a few

00:17:34.640 complicated reasons

00:17:35.480 for that.

00:17:35.880 But the main one

00:17:36.940 is that I and a lot

00:17:38.040 of other people

00:17:38.440 were expecting

00:17:38.920 that this authority

00:17:39.960 to, quote unquote,

00:17:40.660 close down the border

00:17:41.340 was going to be dependent

00:17:42.240 on the United States

00:17:42.940 being able to summarily

00:17:43.980 expel migrants 1.00

00:17:45.020 with no due process,

00:17:45.920 no access to the asylum

00:17:46.720 system,

00:17:47.400 immediately back

00:17:48.220 into Mexico

00:17:48.900 shortly after they cross.

00:17:50.800 That does not appear

00:17:51.780 to be the case,

00:17:52.600 mainly because Mexico

00:17:53.540 has not agreed

00:17:54.500 to accept any more

00:17:56.060 migrants than it 1.00

00:17:57.000 already does.

00:17:58.340 Mexico has pretty

00:17:59.100 strict,

00:18:00.320 you know,

00:18:00.980 specific requirements

00:18:02.000 on the number

00:18:02.620 of migrants 0.99

00:18:03.060 that it accepts

00:18:03.660 and on the nationality

00:18:05.260 of migrants 0.99

00:18:05.640 that it accepts.

00:18:06.360 And the U.S.

00:18:06.740 cannot simply

00:18:07.340 return people

00:18:07.840 to Mexico

00:18:08.240 without Mexico's 1.00

00:18:09.000 active participation.

00:18:12.680 It's weird

00:18:13.480 because, like,

00:18:14.320 all right,

00:18:14.560 they're telling the truth,

00:18:15.600 but is it because

00:18:16.260 they want the Biden

00:18:17.360 supporters to know,

00:18:18.080 hey, don't worry,

00:18:18.700 this is all fake?

00:18:20.760 Look,

00:18:21.240 I think that's actually

00:18:22.560 a little too cynical

00:18:23.660 and I'll rarely say that.

00:18:25.580 I actually think

00:18:26.520 the NBC reporter

00:18:27.560 was telling the truth there.

00:18:28.760 I think he was saying

00:18:29.520 this is not going

00:18:30.140 to be effective.

00:18:31.200 And I'm going

00:18:31.880 to make a prediction,

00:18:32.620 I'm actually going

00:18:33.320 to make a prediction

00:18:33.840 that's going

00:18:34.280 to surprise you.

00:18:35.840 I think this order

00:18:37.080 will be marginally

00:18:39.220 more effective

00:18:40.040 than NBC just said

00:18:41.860 it would be.

00:18:43.060 Really?

00:18:43.540 And here's why.

00:18:45.440 We're five months

00:18:46.360 out from an election.

00:18:48.020 I think the Biden

00:18:49.080 administration

00:18:49.660 wants the numbers

00:18:51.080 at the border

00:18:51.640 to drop.

00:18:53.060 And I think

00:18:53.680 what we're going

00:18:54.100 to see is

00:18:54.660 we're going

00:18:54.920 to see a drop.

00:18:55.580 I'm going

00:18:55.740 to make a prediction.

00:18:56.860 We're going

00:18:57.340 to see a drop

00:18:58.060 in illegal immigration

00:18:58.940 of 20%.

00:18:59.920 enough

00:19:02.140 that they can

00:19:03.380 say

00:19:03.900 the president

00:19:05.140 took bold

00:19:06.200 action

00:19:06.720 and delivered

00:19:07.220 results.

00:19:07.760 And understand

00:19:08.320 he controls

00:19:10.040 this.

00:19:11.120 The reason

00:19:12.020 we have an invasion

00:19:13.400 is because

00:19:14.020 Joe Biden

00:19:14.640 and the Democrats

00:19:15.160 wanted it.

00:19:15.820 So he can

00:19:16.880 reduce the numbers

00:19:17.980 and I think

00:19:18.440 he's going

00:19:18.740 to direct

00:19:19.180 his Homeland Security

00:19:20.020 Department

00:19:20.460 for the next

00:19:21.680 five months

00:19:22.300 stop letting

00:19:24.580 as many

00:19:25.340 illegals go. 1.00

00:19:27.480 Now,

00:19:27.900 to be clear,

00:19:29.440 if God

00:19:29.980 forbid Biden

00:19:30.760 wins in November,

00:19:31.780 the numbers

00:19:32.200 will skyrocket

00:19:32.920 immediately.

00:19:33.940 They want

00:19:34.620 this invasion.

00:19:35.500 They want

00:19:35.760 $11 million

00:19:36.320 to become $15 million

00:19:37.240 to become $20 million

00:19:38.040 to become $30 million

00:19:38.880 because they view

00:19:40.380 it as this is

00:19:41.160 how we the Democrats

00:19:42.060 stay in power

00:19:42.700 forever.

00:19:43.880 So,

00:19:44.560 this is a short,

00:19:46.300 it's like gas prices,

00:19:47.480 it's like student loans,

00:19:48.940 it's a short

00:19:49.940 little burst

00:19:50.760 right before

00:19:51.520 the election

00:19:52.240 that they're

00:19:53.300 gambling.

00:19:53.940 Number one,

00:19:54.460 they know the

00:19:54.860 corporate media

00:19:55.380 will lie and say,

00:19:56.380 oh,

00:19:56.560 Biden solved

00:19:57.120 the border.

00:19:58.280 But number two,

00:19:59.620 they're hoping

00:20:00.220 that voters

00:20:00.880 who are not

00:20:02.220 engaged

00:20:02.900 will be deceived

00:20:04.480 by this.

00:20:05.540 So,

00:20:05.920 I am predicting 0.83

00:20:06.920 and there are

00:20:08.340 fairly few

00:20:09.080 Republicans and

00:20:10.780 conservatives

00:20:11.220 who are predicting

00:20:11.780 this.

00:20:12.540 I'm predicting 0.90

00:20:13.320 the numbers

00:20:13.800 will go down

00:20:14.440 between now

00:20:14.960 and election day.

00:20:16.240 But it is

00:20:17.160 purely

00:20:17.960 political

00:20:19.380 camouflage

00:20:20.300 designed

00:20:21.920 to fool

00:20:22.840 the voters

00:20:23.340 and I don't

00:20:23.700 think it's

00:20:24.000 going to work.

00:20:24.520 I think

00:20:25.120 the American

00:20:25.560 people

00:20:25.960 are actually

00:20:26.760 quite savvy.

00:20:27.560 I don't

00:20:27.680 think they're 1.00

00:20:27.980 stupid. 1.00

00:20:28.840 Yeah, 1.00

00:20:28.940 and they've

00:20:29.220 seen the crime

00:20:29.840 that has come

00:20:30.320 with illegal

00:20:30.700 immigrants as

00:20:31.340 well.

00:20:31.660 They've seen

00:20:32.080 it that every

00:20:32.700 major city

00:20:33.480 in America

00:20:33.880 now is a

00:20:34.620 border city

00:20:35.380 now.

00:20:35.900 So,

00:20:36.240 let me jump

00:20:37.040 in on that,

00:20:38.320 Ben.

00:20:38.860 You look at

00:20:39.760 this week,

00:20:41.540 you had two

00:20:42.160 New York

00:20:42.560 police officers

00:20:43.460 who were

00:20:44.460 shot and

00:20:45.940 they were

00:20:46.220 shot by

00:20:46.900 an illegal

00:20:47.500 immigrant that 0.91

00:20:48.200 Joe Biden

00:20:48.660 released,

00:20:49.240 and this

00:20:49.500 was a

00:20:49.820 Venezuelan.

00:20:51.060 He was a

00:20:52.180 Venezuelan

00:20:52.800 illegal immigrant.

00:20:53.560 His name

00:20:54.060 was Bernardo

00:20:55.000 Raul Castro

00:20:57.640 Mata.

00:21:00.280 Now,

00:21:00.980 this is a

00:21:01.800 name out

00:21:02.300 of Charles

00:21:02.760 Dickens.

00:21:04.640 Mata

00:21:04.980 is Spanish

00:21:07.000 for he 1.00

00:21:08.120 kills. 0.99

00:21:10.280 His middle

00:21:11.420 name is

00:21:12.160 literally a

00:21:13.160 communist 0.99

00:21:13.880 murdering 1.00

00:21:15.180 dictator. 0.98

00:21:15.880 He's named

00:21:16.260 after Raul

00:21:16.920 Castro.

00:21:18.200 This

00:21:18.860 Venezuelan

00:21:19.800 illegal

00:21:20.180 immigrant

00:21:20.620 came to

00:21:21.580 America,

00:21:22.000 came to

00:21:22.340 Texas.

00:21:23.380 He was

00:21:23.960 apprehended

00:21:24.660 at Eagle

00:21:25.040 Pass.

00:21:25.540 Now,

00:21:25.720 if Joe

00:21:26.000 Biden and

00:21:26.400 the Democrats

00:21:26.920 had just

00:21:27.280 said,

00:21:27.900 we're going

00:21:28.060 to follow

00:21:28.340 the law,

00:21:28.780 they would

00:21:29.000 put him

00:21:29.280 on a

00:21:29.520 plane,

00:21:29.840 they would

00:21:30.080 send him

00:21:30.380 back to

00:21:30.860 Venezuela.

00:21:31.360 They didn't

00:21:31.680 do that.

00:21:32.080 They let

00:21:32.340 him go.

00:21:33.400 He went

00:21:33.740 to New

00:21:34.000 York,

00:21:34.940 and he

00:21:35.740 shot two

00:21:36.240 police

00:21:36.540 officers.

00:21:37.840 By the

00:21:38.360 way,

00:21:38.720 Joe Biden

00:21:39.220 could have

00:21:39.560 entered this

00:21:40.040 executive order

00:21:40.740 a month

00:21:41.060 ago,

00:21:41.700 or two

00:21:43.000 months ago,

00:21:43.540 or three

00:21:43.800 months ago,

00:21:44.280 or four

00:21:44.560 months ago,

00:21:44.940 or three

00:21:46.520 years ago,

00:21:48.080 and he

00:21:48.440 could have

00:21:48.760 prevented

00:21:49.240 this individual

00:21:50.060 from being

00:21:50.500 released.

00:21:50.940 He didn't

00:21:51.180 do that.

00:21:51.880 He could

00:21:52.220 have prevented

00:21:52.680 Lakin Riley

00:21:53.280 from being

00:21:53.720 murdered.

00:21:54.080 He didn't

00:21:54.380 do that.

00:21:54.720 He could

00:21:54.940 have prevented

00:21:55.320 Jeremy

00:21:55.680 Caceres

00:21:56.040 from being

00:21:56.420 murdered.

00:21:56.740 He didn't

00:21:57.020 do that.

00:21:58.100 But,

00:21:59.640 because Biden

00:22:01.640 has the

00:22:02.260 control over

00:22:03.060 the dial,

00:22:04.740 he is going

00:22:05.460 to reduce

00:22:06.120 the numbers

00:22:06.840 enough that

00:22:08.780 the press

00:22:09.380 can claim

00:22:10.280 Biden has

00:22:11.640 solved the

00:22:12.300 problem.

00:22:12.800 It will

00:22:13.100 be a lie,

00:22:13.920 but they're

00:22:14.980 going to

00:22:15.200 say it.

00:22:16.180 It's a

00:22:16.720 great point.

00:22:17.320 I want to

00:22:17.600 talk to you

00:22:18.080 real quick

00:22:18.540 about chalk.

00:22:19.960 I,

00:22:20.600 about a

00:22:20.920 year ago,

00:22:21.420 started taking

00:22:22.260 chalk,

00:22:23.320 and I can

00:22:24.020 tell you it

00:22:24.860 is truly

00:22:25.500 incredible.

00:22:26.220 I am now

00:22:26.920 down about

00:22:27.840 60 pounds

00:22:28.960 from where I

00:22:29.800 was a little

00:22:30.500 over a year

00:22:31.600 ago,

00:22:32.100 and it has

00:22:33.420 been a huge

00:22:34.680 help in

00:22:35.320 getting back

00:22:36.360 my strength

00:22:37.040 and vitality.

00:22:38.120 If you look

00:22:39.200 at what's

00:22:39.660 happened,

00:22:40.280 it's very

00:22:41.440 clear.

00:22:43.020 Testosterone

00:22:43.540 levels are

00:22:44.040 off a

00:22:44.520 chart right

00:22:45.360 now.

00:22:46.580 They're

00:22:46.900 historically

00:22:47.620 off a

00:22:48.020 cliff at

00:22:48.540 an all-time

00:22:49.040 low.

00:22:49.960 If you

00:22:50.620 feel like

00:22:51.080 you've

00:22:51.260 gotten a

00:22:51.560 little bit

00:22:51.800 older and

00:22:52.920 you feel

00:22:53.260 like you've

00:22:53.680 got a

00:22:54.120 weakness

00:22:54.420 and complacency

00:22:55.740 that have

00:22:56.640 just set in,

00:22:57.260 like you

00:22:57.540 want to

00:22:57.900 work out,

00:22:58.460 but you're

00:22:58.680 having a

00:22:58.980 hard time

00:22:59.460 getting just

00:23:00.300 the energy

00:23:00.900 to work

00:23:01.280 out.

00:23:01.480 Maybe you

00:23:01.820 want to

00:23:02.060 go play

00:23:02.960 a sport and

00:23:03.660 you just

00:23:03.920 don't feel

00:23:04.440 like you

00:23:04.820 have that

00:23:05.520 energy to

00:23:06.040 do it

00:23:06.180 anymore.

00:23:07.040 That is

00:23:07.600 where you

00:23:08.120 need to

00:23:08.400 check out

00:23:08.920 chalk and

00:23:09.500 what they

00:23:09.800 can do.

00:23:10.600 The problem

00:23:11.180 is,

00:23:11.600 like I

00:23:12.100 said,

00:23:12.420 men's

00:23:12.640 testosterone

00:23:12.980 levels are

00:23:13.620 off a

00:23:14.020 cliff

00:23:14.260 historically.

00:23:15.360 The

00:23:15.460 Patriots

00:23:15.980 at

00:23:16.160 Chalk,

00:23:28.400 days.

00:23:28.840 Now,

00:24:17.580 Senator,

00:24:17.980 one final

00:24:19.020 question.

00:24:20.640 What

00:24:21.120 approach do

00:24:22.060 you think

00:24:22.420 Donald Trump

00:24:23.040 should take

00:24:23.600 in the

00:24:23.820 debate coming

00:24:24.400 up about

00:24:25.440 this

00:24:25.720 executive

00:24:26.200 action?

00:24:27.100 Does he

00:24:27.480 come at

00:24:27.880 the

00:24:28.020 president

00:24:28.380 and say,

00:24:28.860 look,

00:24:29.160 this is

00:24:29.540 the bare

00:24:29.880 minimum

00:24:30.220 still that

00:24:30.680 you could

00:24:30.960 have

00:24:31.060 done?

00:24:31.340 You're

00:24:31.440 playing

00:24:31.700 politics.

00:24:32.420 If you

00:24:32.580 were

00:24:32.720 serious

00:24:33.060 about it,

00:24:33.460 you would

00:24:33.760 have

00:24:33.900 re-implemented

00:24:34.900 building the

00:24:35.420 wall.

00:24:35.740 If you were

00:24:36.000 serious about

00:24:36.580 securing the

00:24:37.060 border,

00:24:37.380 you would

00:24:37.620 have done

00:24:40.180 things that

00:24:40.460 he had

00:24:40.740 in place,

00:24:41.740 what should

00:24:42.740 he say?

00:24:44.140 He should

00:24:44.880 prosecute the

00:24:45.620 case.

00:24:45.960 For three

00:24:46.300 and a half

00:24:46.660 years,

00:24:47.060 you presided

00:24:47.600 over a

00:24:48.120 criminal

00:24:48.760 invasion of

00:24:50.020 the United

00:24:50.380 States of

00:24:50.920 America.

00:24:51.520 We have

00:24:51.800 seen people

00:24:52.480 dying across

00:24:53.300 this country.

00:24:54.180 We have

00:24:54.540 seen children

00:24:55.120 being brutalized.

00:24:56.060 We have

00:24:56.240 seen women 0.99

00:24:56.720 being raped. 0.96

00:24:57.860 We have 0.98

00:24:58.140 seen,

00:24:58.680 in the last

00:24:59.660 couple of

00:25:00.180 years,

00:25:00.540 over 100,000

00:25:01.600 Americans

00:25:02.100 dying year

00:25:03.280 after year

00:25:03.840 after year

00:25:04.500 of drug

00:25:05.080 overdoses,

00:25:05.840 fentanyl

00:25:06.180 overdoses.

00:25:07.080 All of

00:25:07.800 that is

00:25:08.240 your fault.

00:25:09.820 Why did

00:25:10.460 you allow,

00:25:11.380 and by

00:25:11.720 the way,

00:25:12.060 you've made

00:25:12.420 Mexican

00:25:12.800 drug cartels

00:25:13.680 multi-billionaires

00:25:15.680 in the most

00:25:16.880 powerful forces

00:25:18.020 in the country

00:25:18.960 of Mexico.

00:25:19.760 You've utterly

00:25:20.600 destroyed Mexico.

00:25:21.880 Why have

00:25:22.500 you done it?

00:25:23.120 And you've

00:25:23.900 put out a

00:25:24.540 red carpet

00:25:25.260 for every

00:25:26.640 jihadist,

00:25:27.320 every Hamas 0.97

00:25:27.880 terrorist,

00:25:28.400 every Hezbollah 0.98

00:25:28.980 terrorist who

00:25:29.840 wants to 1.00

00:25:30.300 murder Americans. 0.99

00:25:31.440 You have had

00:25:32.300 an open

00:25:32.780 invitation,

00:25:33.600 two million

00:25:34.160 gotaways in

00:25:34.880 this country.

00:25:35.440 why have

00:25:37.840 you allowed

00:25:38.500 America to

00:25:39.120 be invaded?

00:25:39.800 And he'll

00:25:40.080 come back

00:25:40.660 with,

00:25:41.180 oh,

00:25:41.460 I just

00:25:41.820 did an

00:25:42.100 order.

00:25:42.400 He had 0.64

00:25:42.720 nonsense.

00:25:43.520 Three and

00:25:43.920 a half

00:25:44.240 years,

00:25:44.700 11 million

00:25:45.300 people.

00:25:46.280 Why did

00:25:46.920 you allow

00:25:47.500 America to

00:25:48.260 be invaded?

00:25:48.880 He needs

00:25:49.220 to prosecute

00:25:50.140 the case,

00:25:51.480 and then he

00:25:52.400 also needs,

00:25:53.260 and we're

00:25:53.640 going to talk

00:25:54.060 more about

00:25:54.460 the debate

00:25:54.800 as we get

00:25:55.220 close to

00:25:55.700 it,

00:25:56.260 he needs

00:25:58.060 to let

00:25:58.460 Joe Biden

00:25:59.000 talk.

00:25:59.440 I will

00:26:00.560 say if

00:26:00.960 you go

00:26:01.240 back to

00:26:01.700 2020,

00:26:02.340 the first

00:26:02.700 debate,

00:26:04.020 Trump talked

00:26:05.240 a lot.

00:26:06.140 He was so

00:26:06.660 eager to

00:26:07.180 talk that

00:26:08.620 he bailed

00:26:09.620 Joe Biden

00:26:10.140 out.

00:26:10.500 The man 0.55

00:26:10.920 is senile

00:26:12.640 and has

00:26:13.000 dementia.

00:26:14.240 Let him

00:26:14.640 talk.

00:26:15.940 Let him

00:26:16.200 talk.

00:26:16.560 Great point.

00:26:17.880 Speaking of

00:26:18.600 letting people

00:26:19.140 talk,

00:26:19.900 Dr.

00:26:20.400 Fauci was

00:26:21.140 in front

00:26:21.660 of Congress,

00:26:22.920 and this

00:26:23.840 is a guy

00:26:24.420 that is an

00:26:25.080 unbelievable 0.99

00:26:25.640 narcissist 0.92

00:26:26.420 that was

00:26:27.020 elected by

00:26:27.720 no one.

00:26:28.480 I think

00:26:28.820 we prove

00:26:29.320 it on

00:26:29.500 the show

00:26:29.780 before he

00:26:30.280 is.

00:26:30.840 I am

00:26:31.020 the science,

00:26:31.940 Ben.

00:26:32.280 I am

00:26:33.060 the science.

00:26:34.020 I am

00:26:34.280 science.

00:26:34.760 By the

00:26:35.000 way,

00:26:35.260 capital T

00:26:36.140 and capital

00:26:36.700 S.

00:26:37.140 I am

00:26:37.740 the science.

00:26:39.660 This is a

00:26:40.180 guy who I

00:26:40.960 think it's

00:26:41.280 pretty clear

00:26:41.720 lied to

00:26:42.200 Congress.

00:26:43.220 You look

00:26:44.100 at what he

00:26:44.640 said back

00:26:45.120 even in

00:26:45.500 2021 compared

00:26:46.620 to what he

00:26:47.140 said before

00:26:47.740 Congress.

00:26:48.300 There's a

00:26:48.560 montage I

00:26:49.240 want to

00:26:49.480 play,

00:26:49.700 and I

00:26:49.800 want to

00:26:49.960 get your

00:26:50.200 reaction

00:26:50.660 to it.

00:26:51.580 But it's

00:26:51.940 obvious.

00:26:52.940 Fauci

00:26:53.260 basically

00:26:53.660 says,

00:26:54.400 I didn't

00:26:54.600 do anything

00:26:55.000 wrong.

00:26:55.600 Everything

00:26:55.920 was right.

00:26:56.520 I do

00:26:56.880 it all

00:26:57.180 over

00:26:57.520 again.

00:26:58.480 And no,

00:26:59.140 you're not

00:26:59.500 going to

00:26:59.720 get me to

00:27:00.220 admit that 0.91

00:27:00.660 we screwed

00:27:01.100 up on

00:27:01.480 anything,

00:27:01.940 or most

00:27:02.820 importantly,

00:27:03.300 that we

00:27:03.640 deliberately

00:27:04.100 lied to

00:27:04.780 the American

00:27:05.380 people.

00:27:06.920 You're going

00:27:07.620 to know

00:27:08.200 which Fauci's

00:27:09.100 from 2021

00:27:09.880 if you pay

00:27:10.660 attention compared

00:27:11.520 to what it

00:27:12.160 sounded like

00:27:12.900 on Capitol

00:27:13.880 Hill in the

00:27:14.820 last 24

00:27:15.420 hours.

00:27:15.920 Take a

00:27:16.240 listen.

00:27:16.480 Did the

00:27:16.940 COVID vaccine

00:27:18.260 stop

00:27:18.680 transmission

00:27:19.240 of the

00:27:19.640 virus?

00:27:20.840 That is a

00:27:21.680 complicated

00:27:22.080 issue because

00:27:23.000 in the

00:27:23.460 beginning,

00:27:24.140 the first

00:27:24.920 iteration of

00:27:26.560 the vaccines

00:27:27.380 did have an

00:27:28.960 effect,

00:27:29.700 not 100%,

00:27:30.760 not a high

00:27:31.580 effect.

00:27:32.360 They did

00:27:32.980 prevent

00:27:34.380 infection and

00:27:35.460 subsequently,

00:27:37.600 obviously,

00:27:38.140 transmission.

00:27:38.820 However,

00:27:39.560 it's important

00:27:40.340 to point out

00:27:41.260 something that

00:27:42.300 we did not

00:27:43.000 know early

00:27:44.220 on that

00:27:44.940 became evident

00:27:45.820 as the

00:27:46.720 months went

00:27:47.500 by is that

00:27:48.860 the durability

00:27:49.560 of protection

00:27:50.860 against infection

00:27:52.580 and hence

00:27:53.560 transmission was

00:27:55.100 relatively limited

00:27:56.420 whereas the

00:27:57.520 duration of

00:27:58.320 protection against

00:27:59.780 severe disease,

00:28:01.440 hospitalization,

00:28:02.460 and deaths was

00:28:03.580 more prolonged.

00:28:04.980 We did not

00:28:05.800 know that in

00:28:06.460 the beginning.

00:28:07.580 In the beginning

00:28:08.220 it was felt that

00:28:09.640 in fact it did

00:28:10.580 prevent infection

00:28:12.040 and thus

00:28:12.500 transmission,

00:28:13.220 but that was

00:28:13.640 proven as time

00:28:15.180 went by

00:28:15.800 to not be a

00:28:16.940 durable effect.

00:28:18.020 When you get

00:28:18.480 vaccinated,

00:28:19.240 you not only

00:28:19.800 protect your

00:28:20.540 own health,

00:28:21.460 that of the

00:28:22.220 family,

00:28:23.020 but also you

00:28:24.040 contribute to

00:28:24.840 the community

00:28:25.420 health by

00:28:26.140 preventing the

00:28:27.060 spread of the

00:28:28.440 virus throughout

00:28:29.120 the community.

00:28:30.040 In other words,

00:28:30.540 you become a

00:28:31.120 dead end to

00:28:31.780 the virus.

00:28:32.880 And when there

00:28:33.160 are a lot of

00:28:33.600 dead ends around,

00:28:34.540 the virus is not

00:28:35.320 going to go

00:28:35.720 anywhere.

00:28:36.580 And that's when

00:28:37.060 you get a point

00:28:37.800 that you have a

00:28:38.860 markedly diminished

00:28:40.220 rate of infection

00:28:41.280 in the community.

00:28:42.640 And that's

00:28:42.960 exactly the reason,

00:28:44.100 and you said it

00:28:44.680 very well,

00:28:45.620 of why we

00:28:46.300 encourage people

00:28:47.320 and want people

00:28:48.180 to get vaccinated.

00:28:49.220 The more people

00:28:49.880 you get vaccinated,

00:28:51.180 the safer the

00:28:51.960 entire community

00:28:52.880 is.

00:28:54.920 That was

00:28:55.820 Fauci in 2024

00:28:57.080 at the beginning.

00:28:58.460 Fauci in 2021.

00:29:00.820 And he's sitting

00:29:01.480 there and he's

00:29:02.200 acting like he

00:29:02.860 never said what

00:29:03.500 he said in 2021.

00:29:05.200 He flat out lied

00:29:06.300 to the American

00:29:06.880 people and he

00:29:08.160 knew he was

00:29:08.820 lying to them,

00:29:09.900 but it was to

00:29:10.640 go all in

00:29:11.560 no matter

00:29:12.500 what.

00:29:14.000 So Dr.

00:29:14.860 Anthony Fauci

00:29:15.600 is the most

00:29:16.220 dangerous and 0.99

00:29:16.900 damaging American 0.99

00:29:17.820 bureaucrat in the

00:29:18.780 history of the

00:29:19.340 United States of

00:29:20.060 America.

00:29:21.260 He was willing

00:29:22.520 to put politics

00:29:23.700 ahead of science.

00:29:25.280 He did more

00:29:26.220 damage to

00:29:27.620 science and

00:29:28.400 medicine than

00:29:29.020 any person in

00:29:29.780 our lifetime.

00:29:30.800 People no 0.99

00:29:31.760 longer believe

00:29:32.860 what the so-called

00:29:33.980 experts say

00:29:34.900 because Anthony

00:29:36.200 Fauci was willing

00:29:37.080 to say what was

00:29:37.740 politically convenient

00:29:38.700 rather than

00:29:39.900 follow the

00:29:40.400 science.

00:29:41.560 the policies he

00:29:42.560 advocated were

00:29:43.380 disastrous.

00:29:44.860 He advocated

00:29:45.800 shutting down

00:29:46.400 businesses across

00:29:47.240 the country that

00:29:47.960 lost billions if

00:29:49.140 not trillions of

00:29:49.960 dollars.

00:29:50.760 He advocated

00:29:51.920 shutting down

00:29:52.760 schools across

00:29:54.180 the country.

00:29:55.240 I think we will

00:29:56.120 look back a hundred

00:29:57.000 years from now as

00:29:58.820 that being the

00:29:59.680 most catastrophically 1.00

00:30:00.900 stupid public 1.00

00:30:01.880 policy in modern 1.00

00:30:03.400 times.

00:30:04.920 Children,

00:30:06.780 tens of

00:30:07.420 millions of

00:30:08.000 children for

00:30:09.180 more than a

00:30:09.940 year did not go

00:30:10.900 to school.

00:30:11.560 the damage they

00:30:13.380 face, the

00:30:14.040 learning loss they

00:30:15.040 face is massive

00:30:16.140 and by the way

00:30:16.940 nobody has done

00:30:18.380 more harm to

00:30:19.900 African-American and

00:30:20.900 Hispanic kids than

00:30:22.220 Anthony Fauci because

00:30:23.320 shutting down

00:30:23.920 schools had a

00:30:25.760 disproportionate

00:30:26.720 impact on minority

00:30:27.780 kids.

00:30:28.340 He did enormous

00:30:29.120 damage.

00:30:30.060 He advocated

00:30:30.580 shutting down

00:30:31.180 churches,

00:30:31.800 shutting down

00:30:32.280 gyms,

00:30:32.820 shutting down

00:30:33.240 stores,

00:30:34.180 shutting America

00:30:35.080 down.

00:30:35.560 He also advocated

00:30:36.740 mask mandates

00:30:37.600 despite the fact

00:30:38.360 there was no

00:30:38.920 science behind it.

00:30:39.720 He also advocated

00:30:40.740 vaccine mandates

00:30:42.200 despite the fact

00:30:43.020 there was no

00:30:43.440 science behind it

00:30:44.160 and vaccine

00:30:45.080 mandates for

00:30:45.820 children and

00:30:46.740 there was zero

00:30:47.700 science behind

00:30:48.860 it and yet

00:30:50.180 he is brazen.

00:30:51.900 He is

00:30:52.120 unapologetic.

00:30:53.600 He is proud of

00:30:54.820 his role

00:30:55.500 shutting the

00:30:56.660 country down.

00:30:57.700 You mentioned

00:30:58.080 that he's

00:30:58.540 unapologetic.

00:30:59.600 Congressman Jim

00:31:00.380 Jordan, a good

00:31:00.880 friend of the

00:31:01.720 show here,

00:31:02.740 he questioned

00:31:03.600 Fauci on U.S.

00:31:04.800 tax dollars

00:31:05.580 going to a

00:31:06.600 grant recipient

00:31:07.880 to the lab

00:31:09.580 directly in

00:31:10.840 China.

00:31:11.940 I want you to

00:31:12.900 hear what he

00:31:13.620 had to say

00:31:14.300 when he was

00:31:14.800 asked about

00:31:15.420 this.

00:31:15.860 It was honestly

00:31:17.120 a little bit

00:31:17.660 shocking to

00:31:18.380 hear just the

00:31:19.480 arrogance from

00:31:20.240 Fauci.

00:31:20.920 Prior to that

00:31:21.440 call, it would

00:31:21.760 have been on

00:31:22.040 the call.

00:31:22.680 Well, the

00:31:22.980 call was

00:31:23.420 arranged by

00:31:24.080 Jeremy

00:31:24.440 Farrar.

00:31:24.940 You should

00:31:25.240 ask him.

00:31:25.980 Okay.

00:31:26.580 Did U.S. 0.96

00:31:27.160 tax dollars

00:31:27.660 flow through

00:31:28.080 a grant

00:31:28.380 recipient to

00:31:28.980 the lab in

00:31:29.400 China? 0.73

00:31:31.360 I'm sorry.

00:31:32.260 Did U.S. 0.96

00:31:33.040 tax dollars

00:31:33.720 flow through a

00:31:34.440 grant recipient

00:31:35.020 to the lab

00:31:35.680 in China?

00:31:36.940 Yes, of

00:31:37.380 course.

00:31:37.900 It was a

00:31:38.400 sub-award to

00:31:39.240 the Wuhan

00:31:39.680 Institute.

00:31:39.880 And who

00:31:40.080 approved that

00:31:40.580 award?

00:31:41.580 Excuse me?

00:31:42.180 And who

00:31:42.400 approved that

00:31:42.920 award?

00:31:43.180 What agency

00:31:43.600 approved that

00:31:44.080 award?

00:31:44.560 National

00:31:44.920 Institute of

00:31:45.540 Allergy and

00:31:46.020 Infectious

00:31:46.480 Diseases.

00:31:46.940 Your agency

00:31:47.740 approved that,

00:31:48.400 right?

00:31:48.740 Yes, it

00:31:49.200 did.

00:31:49.700 Does that

00:31:50.300 have anything

00:31:50.740 to do with

00:31:51.320 this downplaying

00:31:52.120 of the lab

00:31:52.540 leak theory?

00:31:53.800 No.

00:31:54.880 Nothing to

00:31:55.300 do with it?

00:31:55.820 Nothing.

00:31:57.700 This is a

00:31:58.400 guy that still

00:31:58.960 wants you to

00:31:59.360 believe that the

00:31:59.960 lab leak theory

00:32:00.780 was a theory

00:32:01.420 and not reality

00:32:02.400 and that this

00:32:03.660 somehow came from

00:32:04.500 a wet market

00:32:05.160 there.

00:32:06.100 And then the

00:32:06.920 other question

00:32:07.700 that was asked

00:32:08.840 of him was

00:32:09.960 from Representative

00:32:10.600 Brad Winthrop,

00:32:11.560 a Republican

00:32:12.220 from Ohio.

00:32:13.660 This was the

00:32:14.420 question he

00:32:15.100 asked and

00:32:15.740 listened to the

00:32:16.740 anger from

00:32:17.840 Fauci.

00:32:18.480 The vaccine

00:32:18.960 saved millions

00:32:19.580 of lives and I

00:32:20.460 want to thank

00:32:20.880 you for your

00:32:21.900 support and

00:32:22.580 engagement on

00:32:23.320 that.

00:32:24.360 However,

00:32:24.760 despite statements

00:32:25.880 to the contrary,

00:32:27.320 it did not stop

00:32:28.520 transmission of the

00:32:29.520 virus.

00:32:29.960 Did the COVID

00:32:31.140 vaccine stop

00:32:32.580 transmission of

00:32:33.400 the virus?

00:32:34.800 That is a

00:32:35.580 complicated issue

00:32:36.520 because in the

00:32:37.360 beginning, the

00:32:38.180 first iteration

00:32:39.820 of the vaccines

00:32:41.360 did have an

00:32:42.860 effect, not a

00:32:44.100 hundred percent,

00:32:44.940 not a high

00:32:45.480 effect.

00:32:46.260 They did

00:32:46.880 prevent infection

00:32:49.060 and subsequently,

00:32:51.500 obviously,

00:32:52.040 transmission.

00:32:52.700 However, it's

00:32:53.880 important to

00:32:54.480 point out

00:32:55.160 something that we

00:32:56.360 did not know

00:32:57.360 early on that

00:32:58.840 became evident

00:32:59.720 as the months

00:33:00.960 went by is

00:33:02.580 that the

00:33:02.980 durability of

00:33:04.220 protection against

00:33:05.560 infection and

00:33:07.100 hence transmission

00:33:08.100 was relatively

00:33:09.620 limited, whereas

00:33:10.980 the duration of

00:33:12.220 protection against

00:33:13.680 severe disease,

00:33:15.320 hospitalization, and

00:33:16.500 deaths was more

00:33:17.840 prolonged.

00:33:18.860 We did not know

00:33:19.980 that in the

00:33:20.480 beginning.

00:33:21.420 In the beginning,

00:33:22.300 it was felt that

00:33:23.540 in fact it did

00:33:24.480 prevent infection

00:33:25.940 and thus transmission,

00:33:27.100 but that was

00:33:27.540 proven as

00:33:28.720 time went by

00:33:29.680 to not be a

00:33:30.840 durable effect.

00:33:33.400 I mean, just

00:33:34.820 there, he's like,

00:33:35.340 well, I didn't

00:33:35.780 really get it

00:33:36.420 wrong.

00:33:36.780 It was just, you

00:33:37.500 know, the science

00:33:38.580 that I'm in charge

00:33:39.480 of was not what

00:33:40.160 we thought it

00:33:40.740 was.

00:33:41.380 They'll never

00:33:42.160 admit they 0.79

00:33:42.980 really screwed

00:33:43.660 up on any of

00:33:44.320 this.

00:33:45.180 So listen, let

00:33:46.820 me give a moment

00:33:47.740 of benefit of the

00:33:48.540 doubt to Fauci.

00:33:50.380 I agree when 0.91

00:33:51.400 this pandemic was

00:33:52.280 starting, people

00:33:53.680 didn't know what

00:33:54.280 we were facing.

00:33:55.960 No doubt.

00:33:56.680 People were

00:33:57.260 concerned and

00:33:58.000 there were

00:33:58.300 people dying

00:33:58.940 and in the

00:34:00.360 face of a

00:34:00.880 pandemic, I

00:34:03.140 understand the

00:34:03.920 decisions.

00:34:05.060 Look, Donald

00:34:06.100 Trump signed

00:34:06.840 off on

00:34:07.800 shutdowns early

00:34:08.640 on.

00:34:09.960 The decision

00:34:10.880 to have

00:34:11.240 shutdowns for a

00:34:12.240 week or two.

00:34:13.820 Yeah, it was

00:34:14.080 two weeks.

00:34:14.620 Remember to

00:34:14.960 stop the

00:34:15.320 spread.

00:34:15.820 Two weeks

00:34:16.340 to stop the

00:34:16.880 spread.

00:34:17.680 In hindsight,

00:34:18.620 that was a

00:34:19.320 mistake, but I

00:34:20.160 can understand

00:34:21.000 why people made

00:34:21.860 the decision at

00:34:22.500 the time.

00:34:22.920 We didn't

00:34:23.200 know.

00:34:23.800 We didn't

00:34:24.240 know what the

00:34:24.840 spreading was.

00:34:26.060 We didn't

00:34:26.300 know what the

00:34:27.060 lethality was.

00:34:28.560 And it was

00:34:29.080 trying to save

00:34:29.680 lives.

00:34:31.480 If Fauci said,

00:34:32.440 listen, we had

00:34:33.180 limited information,

00:34:34.240 we were trying to

00:34:34.960 do steps to

00:34:36.500 stop the spread

00:34:37.600 of a contagious

00:34:38.300 virus, and these

00:34:39.240 were steps that

00:34:39.860 made sense, that

00:34:41.920 would not be a

00:34:42.680 crazy thing to

00:34:43.360 say.

00:34:43.580 But by the

00:34:43.960 way, he

00:34:44.660 doesn't admit

00:34:45.240 any mistakes.

00:34:47.060 And what

00:34:47.880 Fauci did that

00:34:49.160 was fundamentally

00:34:49.820 wrong is he

00:34:50.720 elevated politics

00:34:52.240 above science.

00:34:53.220 If he admitted

00:34:54.600 we didn't

00:34:55.080 know at the

00:34:55.480 time, we

00:34:56.820 made those

00:34:57.340 decisions in

00:34:58.040 hindsight, some

00:34:58.880 of those

00:34:59.140 decisions were

00:34:59.760 right, some

00:35:00.260 were wrong, that

00:35:01.800 would be

00:35:02.340 rational.

00:35:02.940 But his

00:35:03.280 position is

00:35:03.940 everything we

00:35:05.040 did was right.

00:35:06.500 Be glad we 0.60

00:35:07.380 shut your

00:35:07.900 schools down.

00:35:08.880 Be glad your

00:35:09.700 children didn't 0.82

00:35:10.480 go to school

00:35:10.940 for a year.

00:35:11.500 Be glad their

00:35:12.460 math scores and

00:35:13.200 reading scores

00:35:13.760 have dropped.

00:35:14.280 Be glad that

00:35:14.880 they will face

00:35:15.420 learning loss for

00:35:16.580 the rest of

00:35:17.040 their lives.

00:35:17.920 Be grateful that

00:35:19.100 we, the

00:35:19.600 benevolent

00:35:20.140 dictators, did 0.56

00:35:21.620 that.

00:35:21.980 there is an

00:35:23.280 arrogance.

00:35:24.180 This man, look,

00:35:26.060 he publicly

00:35:26.840 says, when you

00:35:27.700 attack me, you 0.57

00:35:28.520 are attacking the

00:35:29.480 science, because

00:35:30.340 I am the

00:35:31.400 science.

00:35:32.440 There is an

00:35:33.420 arrogance.

00:35:34.260 He embodies

00:35:35.200 the leftist

00:35:36.300 arrogance.

00:35:36.920 And to be

00:35:37.740 clear, look,

00:35:40.000 he early on

00:35:40.920 when people

00:35:43.800 asked him,

00:35:44.580 okay, are

00:35:45.000 masks, do

00:35:45.740 they make

00:35:46.160 sense?

00:35:47.040 He said, no,

00:35:47.740 you shouldn't

00:35:48.120 wear masks.

00:35:48.720 They don't do

00:35:49.420 any good.

00:35:50.520 A mask is

00:35:52.120 not going to

00:35:52.560 stop the

00:35:53.020 spread of a

00:35:53.540 virus.

00:35:54.260 And then going

00:35:55.080 forward, he

00:35:55.560 said, everyone's

00:35:56.100 got to be

00:35:56.380 masked.

00:35:57.140 And he didn't

00:35:57.900 explain the

00:35:58.620 change.

00:35:59.040 And by the

00:35:59.440 way, when it

00:35:59.940 came to the

00:36:00.620 Wuhan lab

00:36:01.280 leak, understand

00:36:02.900 Anthony Fauci

00:36:03.860 personally funded

00:36:05.060 the research that

00:36:05.980 I believe created

00:36:07.260 the COVID

00:36:08.860 virus.

00:36:09.940 He was desperate

00:36:11.100 to cover his 1.00

00:36:12.000 own ass. 1.00

00:36:12.660 He was desperate 1.00

00:36:13.400 to argue, no,

00:36:14.760 came from a wet

00:36:15.600 market.

00:36:15.960 We now

00:36:16.380 know that

00:36:16.820 is false.

00:36:17.720 But he

00:36:18.160 reached out,

00:36:18.920 he asked

00:36:19.460 Mark Zuckerberg,

00:36:20.980 will Facebook

00:36:21.560 suppress any

00:36:23.400 allegations that

00:36:24.900 this came from

00:36:25.800 a Chinese

00:36:26.320 government lab?

00:36:27.480 And to be

00:36:27.940 clear, I want

00:36:28.560 you to go

00:36:28.880 back.

00:36:29.900 If you look

00:36:30.680 at this

00:36:31.140 podcast in

00:36:32.980 March and

00:36:33.700 April of

00:36:34.380 2020, right

00:36:35.360 at the

00:36:35.640 beginning of

00:36:36.140 COVID, we

00:36:37.520 did two

00:36:38.160 different podcasts

00:36:39.240 on verdict where

00:36:40.760 we laid out the

00:36:41.720 evidence then

00:36:42.700 early on that

00:36:44.000 I thought the

00:36:44.620 clear evidence

00:36:45.400 was this

00:36:46.740 virus escaped

00:36:47.980 from a

00:36:48.580 government lab.

00:36:49.860 I think that

00:36:50.520 is now

00:36:50.940 overwhelming.

00:36:51.880 It is almost

00:36:53.940 indisputable as

00:36:55.560 strong, but it

00:36:56.340 is clearly the

00:36:57.760 overwhelming way

00:36:59.040 to the evidence

00:36:59.640 is that it

00:37:00.120 escaped from a

00:37:00.900 Chinese government

00:37:01.480 lab.

00:37:02.340 And I think the

00:37:03.160 majority of the

00:37:04.020 evidence, this is

00:37:04.700 not as strong, but

00:37:05.580 I think it is

00:37:06.080 greater than 50%

00:37:07.240 is that this

00:37:08.860 virus was

00:37:09.660 deliberately created

00:37:11.100 by the Chinese

00:37:11.860 government.

00:37:12.800 Now, I don't

00:37:13.420 think they created

00:37:14.320 it because they

00:37:14.920 wanted people to

00:37:15.380 die. 0.91

00:37:15.940 I think they

00:37:16.320 were creating

00:37:16.800 it because they

00:37:17.260 were engaged in

00:37:17.960 research and

00:37:18.500 they were

00:37:18.740 irresponsible and

00:37:19.620 reckless.

00:37:20.600 But they took

00:37:21.380 viruses and

00:37:23.200 they engaged in

00:37:25.160 gain-of-function

00:37:26.040 research, which

00:37:26.980 is they made

00:37:27.980 them more

00:37:28.400 deadly and

00:37:29.740 they made

00:37:30.140 them more

00:37:30.540 transmissible to

00:37:31.640 humans, and

00:37:32.800 then I think the

00:37:33.480 virus escaped and

00:37:34.480 the world faced

00:37:35.080 a pandemic.

00:37:36.260 There's something

00:37:36.720 else that's also

00:37:37.480 very shocking, and

00:37:38.460 that is, Dr.

00:37:40.060 Fauci was asked a

00:37:41.180 very simple

00:37:41.800 question, and I'll

00:37:43.060 wrap with this,

00:37:43.940 but it's an

00:37:44.780 important one.

00:37:46.160 And that was

00:37:47.340 about the

00:37:48.220 unvaccinated, and

00:37:49.240 I want you to

00:37:49.900 hear just some of

00:37:50.860 the kind of

00:37:51.320 disdain.

00:37:52.120 They're still

00:37:52.680 shaming the

00:37:53.600 unvaccinated.

00:37:54.460 Yes, it's proven

00:37:55.540 that.

00:37:56.220 And do you also

00:37:57.220 agree that it's

00:37:57.780 saved hundreds of

00:37:59.200 thousands and

00:37:59.920 possibly millions of

00:38:00.960 lives in America

00:38:02.340 and across the

00:38:03.160 world?

00:38:03.880 That is absolutely

00:38:05.120 correct, and it's

00:38:06.460 very clear that it's

00:38:07.600 saved millions of

00:38:09.080 lives here and

00:38:10.880 throughout the world.

00:38:11.920 the Europeans have 0.95

00:38:13.320 done the same

00:38:13.940 studies that we

00:38:14.740 have, and the

00:38:16.100 data are

00:38:17.420 incontrovertible

00:38:18.500 that they save

00:38:19.500 lives.

00:38:20.220 Sir, and do you

00:38:20.820 think the American

00:38:21.500 public should

00:38:22.780 listen to

00:38:23.340 America's brightest

00:38:24.680 and best doctors

00:38:25.960 and scientists,

00:38:26.940 or instead listen

00:38:28.120 to podcasters,

00:38:29.440 conspiracy theorists,

00:38:30.720 and unhinged

00:38:31.460 Facebook memes?

00:38:33.320 No, listening to

00:38:34.420 people who you

00:38:35.640 just described is

00:38:37.480 going to do

00:38:37.840 nothing but harm

00:38:38.740 people because

00:38:39.460 they will deprive

00:38:40.380 themselves of

00:38:41.140 life-saving

00:38:41.780 interventions,

00:38:42.800 which has

00:38:43.520 happened, and

00:38:44.860 you know, some

00:38:46.500 have done studies,

00:38:48.060 Peter Hotez has

00:38:49.580 done an analysis

00:38:50.860 of this and shows

00:38:51.860 that in people who

00:38:53.220 refuse to get

00:38:54.100 vaccinated for any

00:38:55.200 variety of reasons,

00:38:56.760 probably responsible

00:38:57.840 for an additional

00:38:58.760 two to three

00:38:59.700 hundred thousand

00:39:00.360 deaths in this

00:39:01.080 country.

00:39:02.140 An additional

00:39:03.120 two to three

00:39:03.760 hundred thousand

00:39:04.320 deaths in this

00:39:04.980 country.

00:39:06.260 They're still

00:39:06.960 shaming.

00:39:07.480 Anyone that asks

00:39:08.160 a question,

00:39:08.760 remember the

00:39:09.260 ivermectin,

00:39:10.040 oh, you guys

00:39:10.600 are taking

00:39:11.080 horse to

00:39:11.640 warmers.

00:39:12.080 I mean, the

00:39:12.340 list goes on

00:39:13.080 and on.

00:39:15.220 And by the

00:39:16.200 way, in a

00:39:16.960 subsequent pod,

00:39:17.820 we should play

00:39:18.640 Chris Cuomo

00:39:20.340 when he was

00:39:21.500 called out for

00:39:22.480 his lying on

00:39:23.800 ivermectin.

00:39:25.480 But it is the

00:39:26.820 corporate media

00:39:27.820 crawled in bed

00:39:29.420 with Anthony

00:39:29.980 Fauci, crawled

00:39:31.000 in bed with

00:39:32.320 the left-wing 0.99

00:39:34.320 dishonest

00:39:35.140 political 0.88

00:39:35.940 scientific

00:39:37.540 medical

00:39:38.060 world.

00:39:39.180 And they

00:39:39.480 just lied

00:39:39.960 to people.

00:39:40.600 And I

00:39:41.220 will say,

00:39:41.680 if you

00:39:41.880 look at

00:39:42.240 something like

00:39:43.100 COVID

00:39:44.340 vaccines for

00:39:45.420 children, for

00:39:46.180 children under

00:39:46.760 six, there

00:39:48.160 was zero

00:39:49.180 scientific

00:39:49.880 evidence to

00:39:50.840 back that.

00:39:51.460 I get why

00:39:52.500 someone who

00:39:53.200 was 80 or

00:39:53.840 90 or even

00:39:54.560 someone who

00:39:55.020 was 50 or

00:39:55.620 60 made

00:39:57.000 the decision

00:39:57.600 to get the

00:39:58.100 COVID vaccine

00:39:58.880 because, look,

00:40:00.040 you could make

00:40:00.580 a rational

00:40:01.120 cost-benefit

00:40:01.900 analysis that

00:40:02.660 we don't know

00:40:03.020 everything about

00:40:03.520 this vaccine,

00:40:04.280 there are risks

00:40:04.760 to it, but

00:40:05.860 we also know

00:40:06.580 this is a

00:40:06.980 very infectious

00:40:07.540 disease, and

00:40:08.320 particularly for

00:40:09.520 people who are

00:40:10.400 health-compromised,

00:40:11.800 it can be really

00:40:12.640 damaging, and so

00:40:13.520 people who are

00:40:14.100 older could make

00:40:15.680 a rational decision

00:40:16.900 to get the

00:40:17.380 vaccine.

00:40:18.620 For a five- or

00:40:19.580 six-year-old, I

00:40:21.560 think there was

00:40:22.120 no rational

00:40:23.260 decision to give

00:40:24.060 a child that

00:40:24.720 because the

00:40:26.120 rate of fatality...

00:40:27.300 There was as much

00:40:27.520 science behind

00:40:27.700 that as there

00:40:28.320 was behind the

00:40:29.400 six-foot rule,

00:40:30.180 which apparently

00:40:30.660 he's admitted now,

00:40:31.720 yeah, we just

00:40:32.140 kind of made it up.

00:40:32.860 He just made it

00:40:33.720 up.

00:40:33.980 And this was

00:40:36.680 all about

00:40:37.380 politics and

00:40:38.440 power, and

00:40:39.620 Fauci was

00:40:40.420 willing to put

00:40:41.060 politics and

00:40:41.820 power above

00:40:42.540 medicine and

00:40:43.220 science.

00:40:44.400 Ammo squared

00:40:45.360 helps you stock

00:40:46.280 up on ammunition

00:40:47.140 automatically.

00:40:48.700 This is a

00:40:49.380 really cool

00:40:50.280 concept in a

00:40:51.520 company.

00:40:52.080 If you are

00:40:52.560 like me and

00:40:53.160 you want to

00:40:53.500 make sure you

00:40:54.040 have ammo, and

00:40:55.180 you want to

00:40:55.420 make sure you

00:40:55.800 get it at a

00:40:56.860 great price, and

00:40:58.080 you want to

00:40:58.700 make sure the

00:40:59.300 next time there's

00:40:59.840 a run on ammo,

00:41:00.640 and it happens

00:41:01.300 every couple of

00:41:02.080 years, something

00:41:02.700 happens and

00:41:03.420 people run

00:41:04.020 out and buy

00:41:04.440 ammo, and

00:41:04.780 then you

00:41:05.000 can't find

00:41:05.620 it.

00:41:06.100 It really

00:41:06.740 happened during

00:41:07.700 the COVID

00:41:08.300 time.

00:41:09.320 Well, ammo

00:41:09.980 squared, if you

00:41:10.820 were a member

00:41:11.180 then, you

00:41:11.620 didn't have to

00:41:12.060 worry about

00:41:12.560 that.

00:41:13.540 It is set it

00:41:14.420 and forget it

00:41:15.260 automated ammo

00:41:16.300 purchasing program.

00:41:17.900 You pick your

00:41:18.740 calibers, you set

00:41:19.940 your budget, you

00:41:20.920 select a shipping

00:41:21.640 trigger, and that's

00:41:22.840 it.

00:41:23.380 Your ammo grows

00:41:24.380 slowly over time,

00:41:25.980 and the best part

00:41:27.120 is it is stored

00:41:28.040 for free as it

00:41:29.640 builds up, and

00:41:30.420 is shipped with

00:41:31.180 the click of

00:41:31.820 a button or

00:41:32.840 automatically

00:41:33.560 whatever you

00:41:34.400 want to do.

00:41:35.340 It's like an

00:41:36.120 ammunition

00:41:36.740 subscription on

00:41:37.700 steroids because

00:41:38.560 you aren't

00:41:39.240 forced into a

00:41:39.940 set budget and

00:41:40.980 shipping every

00:41:41.720 month.

00:41:42.020 Instead, you

00:41:42.600 decide your

00:41:43.100 budget, and

00:41:44.020 you schedule

00:41:44.540 when you want

00:41:45.020 your ammo

00:41:45.440 shipments to

00:41:46.100 arrive.

00:41:47.120 Ammo squared

00:41:47.580 offers more

00:41:48.160 than 60

00:41:48.840 different caliber

00:41:49.540 options, and

00:41:50.380 each shipment

00:41:50.960 contains a

00:41:51.620 carefully curated

00:41:52.400 mix of

00:41:52.940 factory new

00:41:53.580 ammunition for

00:41:54.820 brands you

00:41:55.320 know and love.

00:41:56.200 It's budget

00:41:56.800 friendly as well,

00:41:57.680 and you can

00:41:58.040 save money.

00:41:59.300 Buy as little

00:41:59.800 as a few

00:42:00.220 dollars a

00:42:00.860 month.

00:42:01.200 You heard me

00:42:01.560 right.

00:42:01.960 Buy as little

00:42:02.400 as a few

00:42:02.800 dollars a

00:42:03.240 month, and

00:42:03.740 use dollar

00:42:04.340 cost average

00:42:05.140 to your

00:42:06.160 advantage over

00:42:07.020 time.

00:42:07.940 Everything is

00:42:08.580 managed online

00:42:09.220 using a

00:42:09.680 simple web

00:42:10.200 app.

00:42:10.720 Forget about

00:42:11.180 moving heavy

00:42:11.740 case of

00:42:12.200 ammunition in

00:42:12.780 your garage or

00:42:13.420 your home.

00:42:14.340 Yeah, you

00:42:14.820 don't have to

00:42:15.140 deal with that.

00:42:15.800 And if you

00:42:16.080 ever want to

00:42:16.440 get rid of

00:42:16.780 ammo, you

00:42:17.120 don't have

00:42:17.320 to worry

00:42:17.480 about selling

00:42:18.040 it online.

00:42:18.940 You can

00:42:19.200 literally

00:42:19.460 exchange your

00:42:20.080 ammo squared

00:42:20.600 inventory from

00:42:21.380 one caliber to

00:42:22.440 another in

00:42:22.980 seconds with

00:42:24.120 just the click

00:42:24.960 of a mouse.

00:42:26.160 Now, here's the

00:42:26.560 other thing.

00:42:28.740 Skyrockets, you

00:42:29.680 can sell your

00:42:30.560 ammo and make

00:42:31.620 big profits as

00:42:32.920 well.

00:42:33.660 There is no

00:42:34.520 minimum to

00:42:35.020 buy, no

00:42:36.140 memberships needed,

00:42:37.420 and no extra

00:42:38.640 fees.

00:42:39.740 Customers can

00:42:40.300 buy ammo on a

00:42:41.020 small budget, then

00:42:41.780 watch it grow

00:42:42.280 over time like a

00:42:43.560 savings account.

00:43:05.780 you've got a really

00:43:06.600 cool trip, and I

00:43:07.600 want to use this as a

00:43:08.300 moment to preview a

00:43:10.500 very important 80th

00:43:12.240 anniversary that

00:43:13.700 you're going to

00:43:14.300 celebrate and

00:43:15.200 remember on this

00:43:17.280 trip to France, and

00:43:19.000 we're going to

00:43:19.420 actually have you

00:43:20.360 live from there

00:43:21.420 that we're going to

00:43:22.320 record our next

00:43:23.040 podcast.

00:43:24.440 Well, that's

00:43:24.860 exactly right.

00:43:25.660 Later today, I'm

00:43:26.440 going to get on a

00:43:26.920 plane.

00:43:27.260 I'm going to fly to

00:43:27.880 France for the

00:43:29.200 80th anniversary of

00:43:30.520 D-Day.

00:43:30.900 I'm going to go to

00:43:31.380 Normandy.

00:43:31.900 I'm going to be

00:43:32.240 there for the

00:43:32.980 celebration.

00:43:34.360 President Biden's

00:43:35.240 going to be there.

00:43:35.960 We're going to have

00:43:36.300 about 25 senators are

00:43:37.680 going over.

00:43:38.780 Hold on.

00:43:39.120 Are you going on

00:43:39.740 Air Force One, or

00:43:40.620 you guys saw you

00:43:42.420 didn't get the

00:43:42.860 invite?

00:43:43.600 I can't believe that.

00:43:44.860 Why would he possibly

00:43:47.300 bring any of us?

00:43:48.180 We're going to go on

00:43:48.760 a separate plane, but

00:43:50.180 we'll be over there.

00:43:51.340 And I've got to say

00:43:52.480 I'm excited.

00:43:53.180 So, five years ago was

00:43:54.780 the 75th anniversary of

00:43:56.300 D-Day.

00:43:57.160 And I wanted to go, but

00:43:58.780 I had a scheduling

00:43:59.480 conflict, and I didn't

00:44:00.580 go.

00:44:00.840 And I've got to tell

00:44:01.320 you, Ben, I've kicked

00:44:02.340 myself. 0.98

00:44:02.880 I've been mad at

00:44:03.940 myself that I didn't

00:44:05.600 go to the 75th

00:44:06.640 anniversary.

00:44:07.140 I missed it.

00:44:08.320 And so, for this one,

00:44:09.380 listen, the 80th, this

00:44:10.980 is particularly

00:44:11.820 special, because if

00:44:14.560 you were 19 years

00:44:16.100 old in World War

00:44:17.060 II, you're 99 now.

00:44:20.960 Yeah.

00:44:21.900 This is, in all

00:44:23.120 likelihood, the last

00:44:24.680 major anniversary

00:44:25.960 where we will have

00:44:27.660 living veterans from

00:44:28.840 World War II.

00:44:29.540 The people who are

00:44:30.060 going to be there

00:44:30.580 are going to be 98,

00:44:31.780 99, 100, 101,

00:44:34.240 102, 103.

00:44:36.300 It is going to be an

00:44:37.740 incredible privilege to

00:44:39.020 be there with these

00:44:40.120 American heroes.

00:44:40.980 of the greatest

00:44:41.540 generation to say

00:44:42.520 thank you, thank you,

00:44:44.460 thank you, the boys

00:44:45.600 who scaled those

00:44:46.720 cliffs, who defeated

00:44:49.140 the Nazis, who saved 0.96

00:44:51.420 the free world.

00:44:52.640 It is an incredible

00:44:54.320 moment of American

00:44:55.480 heroism and American

00:44:56.620 leadership.

00:44:57.960 And I'm thrilled.

00:44:59.260 I'm really, really

00:45:00.240 looking forward to

00:45:01.080 this.

00:45:02.260 It's going to be, and

00:45:03.120 we're going to do the

00:45:03.660 next podcast from

00:45:05.280 France.

00:45:05.760 I'm going to record,

00:45:06.460 I'm going to bring the

00:45:06.940 equipment, and I'm

00:45:07.520 going to record it

00:45:08.040 there.

00:45:08.740 And so we're going to

00:45:09.480 talk to you from

00:45:10.300 France.

00:45:10.740 And right after the

00:45:13.660 ceremony on D-Day, we're

00:45:14.760 going to talk about

00:45:15.240 that.

00:45:15.980 And it's going to be

00:45:16.440 awesome.
