James Rosen Describes Breaking a Crucial Hunter Biden Story
"Let's give credit where credit is due. Did you not break one of the crucial stories regarding Hunter Biden? So tell us about that. I did on October 29, 2020 when I was a reporter for the Sinclair broadcast group, which is the owner of about 200 TV stations across the country. We broke a story that aired on those stations. Citing a very high level Department of Justice source that Hunter Biden was under active FBI criminal investigation over his finances. I had somebody very high up in Trump world telling me, James, can you in Sinclair instead of getting this out at 6 p.m., get this out at 5 p.m. because president Trump is literally waiting on Air Force One to retweet your story, which was flattering if true, we couldn't, and we didn't. But nothing happened in short. No other news media organization, aside from taking note of what I had reported such as political playbook did the next morning was able to advance or refute the story to corroborated or knock it down. The FBI said nothing, DoJ said nothing. The Biden Harris campaign said nothing. I mean, it attracted something like 40,000 likes on Twitter, but it kind of ended with my story until after the

Corey Lewandowski Agrees With Dan Bongino on Sussmann Trial
"Corey Dan bongino called the sussman trial and the revelations that are being uncovered. The biggest political scandal in modern American history. I agree with that. Do you? I absolutely agree with it. And the fact that it isn't being covered in most of the press is because they know it's true. They know sussman lied to the FBI. They know the political hit job. And at minimum, they were complicit in this. I know. That came to. They knew this whole dossier was fake. The media did nothing to validate it. They took sussman at his word and they peddled information. Look, Michael, don't forget the guy who lied on the Pfizer applications who was an FBI employee. He liked a spy in Americans, got a one year probation. He still works at the FBI

Corey Lewandowski: Mainstream Media Gives No Coverage of Sussman Trial
"But here's the problem. The mainstream media ABC NBC CBS News, MSNBC, zero coverage of the sussman trials. Zero. Can you imagine if Corey Lewandowski as the former campaign manager, Donald Trump was on trial right now for peddling misinformation? And trying to and being accused of lying to the FBI. I mean, the problem we have Michael is, look at lying to the FBI, it's only a crime if you're a normal person. If you're a special person and you're Andy mccabe or your Peter struck or at least a page or in this case sussman, there is no crime. Cory. Don't worry about it.

Corey Lewandowski: Why Does the Media Only Validate the NY Times?
"Right. Look, we knew and remember this. The New York Post ran this story, the fourth largest newspaper in America, and if you attempted to share the New York Post story, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns The Wall Street Journal, if you attempted to share that, you were flagged for disinformation on Twitter, right? Why is it that once The New York Times decides something is validated that the rest of the media comes and says, well, The New York Times said it. Look, over the weekend, The New York Times said that 5000 kids between the ages of 5 and 11 years old, 11 years old, died from COVID. Absolutely not true. I know. And they had to go make the corrections. They would diagnose. Well, it was a big difference between a diagnosis and dying. They also

Corey Lewandowski: Where's the Apology From the Media for Being Wrong?
"So what is really justice? Michael, there's a lot of guys like clue and asking other people who've been part of team Trump that were vilified and chastised by the legacy media, told us we were liars and wrong, only to see them go back and change their headlines 7 years later, say, whoops, I guess the Hunter Biden laptop, oops, I guess the whole Russia collusion narrative was a falsehood. We'll keep the Pulitzer Prize that we got. And sorry for destroying your lives. When does that apology come? Well, in fact, funny, you mentioned that because I was just reading over the weekend, NBC News has now joined The New York Times, The Washington Post Politico in verifying the laptop dismissed as Russian disinformation in 2020. I mean, there I saw a report from Hallie Jackson on NBC the other day. I thought fell off my couch where she did the whole Hunter Biden story. She sounded like a talking head on newsmax.

Corey Lewandowski: Michael Sussmann Will Get a Slap on the Wrist
"Must be a similar satisfaction that you're feeling right now in Robbie mook testifying Friday that it was actually Hillary who said give this phony story to the news media. Corey, give me your thoughts, give me your take. I know you're following this Michael sussman trial pretty closely. What's the Corey Lewandowski takeaway of what we've learned so far? Michael, here's the problem. Sussman is probably going to be found guilty of lying to the FBI because we have his text messages when he reached out to baker who at the time was the chief legal counsel for the FBI and said I'd like to come and see you and it's not for a client and it's not for a political campaign just as the goodness of my own heart. I want to share this information with you. We have that text message and that's what Durham predicated this whole follow-up on. Now what we're going to find out, though, because justice is not equally distributed, we know that Robbie milk has now said that Hillary Clinton green lit this, but that Robbie never knew it was going to go to the FBI. We were just going to give it to The New York Times. And what sussman told baker we now know was we think you should investigate this because The New York Times is about to run the store. And then baker actually called The New York Times and said, hey, please don't run the story yet because the FBI wants to track it down when the entire time Susan was a source to The New York Times. And so what's going to happen to sussman? My guess is, I get to slap on the wrist. Maybe he loses his law license for a year. Maybe he gets probation, but his life will get destroyed like Michael Flynn. He's not going to end up bankrupt. He's not going to be dragged in front of Congress like Corey Lewandowski was in front of Jerry Nadler.

"Wireless. I'd love to. The Mike Gallagher show. These people who brag about how competent they are, it's a total fiasco from start to finish. Yeah, well, this is one of the big reasons why they had to destroy Donald Trump and why they're still intent on destroying Donald Trump because he was not one of them. He was not part of the ruling class, he owed no one, anything. And he had never done any of this before. And he comes in and he actually began solving America's problems. In the relief factor dot com studios, here's Mike. I wonder if president Trump ever gets tired of being vindicated. I wonder if Corey Lewandowski ever gets tired of being vindicated. One of these guys ever get tired of The Washington Post vindicating them. I mean, look at headline after headline. How about The Wall Street Journal? We talked a lot about it yesterday. Opinion piece from the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal, Hillary did it. Hillary Clinton was the one according to the testimony by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robbie mook. It was Hillary who greenlit the phony Russia collusion garbage. Let's talk to mister mooks counterpart over on the Trump side. Corey Lewandowski was senior Trump 2020 campaign advisory service similar capacity in 2016. In fact, I once heard it described this way. It was Donald Trump, Corey Lewandowski, Hope Hicks and maybe one other that got into an office one day and said, mister Trump should run for president. So you talk about being in the room where it happened here he is. Corey Lewandowski, it's great having you back on the show. How you been? I'm doing great, Mike. Thanks for having me. And you know, I would love to say that that description is far off, but it really wasn't. And it goes to show you what a small group of people can do when they only have a singular focus, which is to try and change the direction of the country. And really, I believe Hope Hicks and myself in a very small group of people tried to do that and we did it through Donald Trump, whose 99.99% of the campaign and the rest of us were .01, but it seemed to work. Yeah, sure did. And you are never given the credit you deserve for playing that role. And I think so fondly of you when I think about that small group that you were a part of sitting down with mister Trump insane, hey, let's do something crazy. Let's challenge the entire orthodoxy. Let's turn the machine upside down. Let's knock over the sacred cows and let's have you run for president and what a feeling it must have been for you election night 2016, but it also must be a similar satisfaction that you're feeling right now in Robbie mook testifying Friday that it was actually Hillary who said give this phony story to the news media. Corey, give me your thoughts, give me your take. I know you're following.

The taxpayers of the United States, whether you like it or not, are going to be spending billions with a B to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere in an attempt to save the planet from the destructive impact of climate change.

"Hey Phil witches, are they this dumb or is this intentional? And they're just gaslighting this. Well, I think mainly if you read into some of it, every one of them Democrats when Biden got into office, ran and bought stock in Tesla and Ford and Chevrolet into the electric cars. Every one of them did. It's called insider trading. Let's start there. Then on top of that, they're really so stupid to think that the average American will go spend anywhere from 70 to $90,000 for an electric car and have their house rewired to put in one of these plugs, which you still got to pay for the electric. Which I'm told is going to run us anywhere from 70 to a $100 a week to charge one of these damn cars.

When we talk about the children of the community, they are a children of the community. No, from the relief factor dot com studios. Here's Mike Gallagher. The community, you are, after all, the children of the community. Did you know that? How profound am I? You are the children of the community. And when I welcome the children of the community, they are absolutely you are the children of the community. Yeah, that's our vice president. How about listening to mama Kamala? That was her nickname she gave herself, right? Mama Kamala, Kamala mamala, Kamala Harris. Rhodes scholars have nothing on this one. This is, listen, I'm at a point right now. I know it's primary day. We got a lot to talk about. We got Pence, Mike Pence, signaling he might run for president against Donald Trump in 2024. Wow. Oh boy, how do we get started on that? But before we dive into that, you got to hear the vice president, let me give you a twofer. Yuri, let's play cut one, and then we'll play cut two. Vice president Kamala Harris, giving a speech outside the children's national hospital in Washington, D.C.. Check out these words of wisdom. Kennedy? They are a children of the community. No. No, you don't say. When you talk about the children of the community, they are the children. You know what, I'm telling you right now. She's doing this on purpose. She's not this stupid. She can not be this stupid. She's got people that write things for her. She's got people who do things on her behalf. There's no way she's this dumb. She's doing it on purpose.

How am I going to pay to fill up my gas tank? I got to get to work. I have to do my job. I got to get from point a to point B it's $5 and 40 cents a gallon. It's 80 $90 to fill up my minivan, what do I do? Well, grandpa Joe says, don't fret. 'cause this is actually good news. And when it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that God willing when it's over will be stronger in the world be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over. You see what Europe is doing relative to the importation of Russian gas. You see anyway, I won't go through it all, but and what I've been able to do to keep it from getting even worse, and it's bad. The price of gas, the prompt is something I told you heard me say before, it would be a matter of great discussion on my kitchen table when I was kid growing up. It's affecting a lot of families. I've heard the phrase tone deaf, but that isn't just tone deaf. That is bizarrely out of touch with hardworking Americans who are witnessing the complete destruction of any logic coming from The White House. An incredible transition as part of the process to wean ourselves off fossil fuels, oh, that's what this is about. Good to know. They can't be this bad. Are they gaslighting us? Are they trolling us? Kamala Harris can't be so stupid. When we talk about the children of the community, they are a children of the community. No, no, no adult says that. If a 9th grader stood up and gave that in a speech, the speech teacher would give him an F nobody talks that way in public life, the soaring gas prices are part of an incredible transition, God willing we will be stronger and will be less reliant on fossil fuels, so let me go back, we're going to break a lot of stuff down today, but let me open up the phone lines right now. I want you, I ask you this question a lot, but it makes me crazy, and I'm obsessed with this question. Are they this bad or are they just trolling us? Is this just a game they're playing? Are they doing this on purpose? One 806 5 5 mic. Are they destroying America on purpose? Are they sane the most profoundly stupid things they can on purpose or are they really this ignorant?

"So here's the tsarina herself. Kamala Harris, being asked by George Stefan biopolis, why don't you fix the border? You're supposed to be calling the shots. Listen to this, astounding answer, and keep it in the context of knowing she's what we're stuck with if we don't have Biden. 8 months ago, the president gave you the job of addressing the root causes of migration. But last month, we learned that in the past year had the highest number of illegal border courses, since they started to be recorded in 1960, what are you doing to turn that around? How long will it take? Well, it's not gonna be overnight. We can't just flip a switch and make it better. The reality is that we inherit a system and immigration system that was deeply broken, and it's requiring us to actually put it back together in terms of creating a fair process that is effective and efficient. But on the root causes peace, what we're looking at is that, you know, frankly, people don't want to leave home, George. And when they do, it's one of two reasons. They're fleeing some kind of harm, or to stay at home. They just simply can not satisfy the basic needs of their family. That would be the alternative to Joe Biden.

"This is all part of how we should be postured now and moving forward. I think it's units unfortunate if other countries take a different stance on approach. Now getting back to vaccines in the us dr fouled. She said that he thinks there should be more vaccine requirements at the local level. The federal government hasn't laid out a mandate to get vaccinated How do you view that choice. And the role of the federal government. I don't have to get a moment to sort of stop and say listen. This is where we were in january and where we are. Now i think the federal government presidents by his leadership has been just so focused is so clear a whole of government response to where we are now. And i think it's important to note that progress in terms of vaccine and vaccination but importantly as you pointed out the federal government has not issued a mandate. Does it evidence to do. So is not issuing a vaccination verification system or or pass for doesn't have intention to do so now the reality is we started talking about earlier is every community looks very different cove in nineteen. We have set national benchmarks national. Metrics we are pushing we are doing just pulling every federal policy lever imaginable and inventing you want to be able to get people connected with the resources they need. So the federal ministration clearly We see the role important critical role for the federal administration of play. And also right. It's to understand that at the community level is where these transmission dynamics enters mission. Metrics matter the most and so whether we're talking about anything be it mask right or other mitigation strategies. It has the following like what's happening on the local seed lending about the vaccine mandates. And that's that this before you know. I'm a practicing physician. Healthcare worker and it is customary for my employer to require me to have certain vaccinations. And so i anticipate we will see that that we will we will see. Mandate we see them now into of colleges and universities and being campus and other things there and i for some And there's been pointed to suggest that you for some people they get back sedated if it were mandated for other people say they are waiting for. Fda approval on in order to get vaccinated. And so i expect we will see some. Maybe not huge numbers but we might see some shifts in vaccine behavior as mandates emerge in transition to ten dissipated full approval from the fda so last question. What does success look like for you. You can either frame that in terms of covert nineteen or just in terms of your whole career. What what does success mean to you. Equity of verb equity also teams for right and so the success. Whatever we achieve or don't achieve will will rise and fall in our partnerships in our collaboration.

So that senator schumer laying out the case for a brown jackson so this is somebody who will be tapped for the supreme court which was a biden harris campaign. Promise right to get a black woman. Nominee ginny what to. You is the importance of this representation couple of newsletters ago. I think Where i focused on how racist the legal profession is in the view of indigenous federal indian law. You know when you look at who are feeling these federal judges largely white and male and has been that way. I think it was last month. We currently filled only the third native american judge since seventeen eighty nine so when i read the story i always see things through the indigenous lens and i did not find it surprising but it is uplifting to know that the courts are getting a little less wider. And that why these appointments matter when you're looking at critical cases that even if it's say for instance involving something like abortion that goes to supreme court when you talk about those kinds of pieces of legislation they are not divorced at all from this kind of systemic inequality when it comes to people of color so we spoke a few weeks ago about how nicole hannah jones was denied tenure at her alma mater the university of north carolina after concerns were raised regarding her pulitzer prize winning sixteen nineteen project and there now seems to be this broader war over critical race theory in the us so jenny. How do you think about how important is to understand our history of racism. While i don't know if any of you will repair attention but rick. Santorum was recently fired from his pendant position with the network over these outlandish statements that he made about the foundation of the united states. I was paying attention. Thank you so much for that farai. He's refused to apologise about his statements which basically said that the birth of the nation you know did not evolve native american people at all and that we have no culture and i find that interesting as we have this dialogue about the history wars right. I mean we're in a point in this reckoning where you have as farai you've said you know everything is politicized these days and that boils down to the actual Notion of which narrative you know is accepted..

"He's under attack to wait until you find out how that's happening at five o'clock Lieutenant Colonel James Carroll final will join us and talk about the disaster that has been the Biden Harris foreign Policy and then at 5 30. Gordon Chang joins US China expert on this breaking news around a possible high level Chinese defector working with the United States government all very interesting find out what Gordon Chang thinks about the developments. But right now I want to concentrate on the nation's border and the way that some of the governors of the United States are working to do the job The bite administration is refusing to do, which is to secure the border. Let's get into those details with Tom Homan, the former immigration and customs enforcement director. And, of course the police officer as well, Tom. Good to have you with us, sir. Thanks for having me. What do you make of the governor's? We saw Governor Greg Abbott is working to build the wall now as much as he can. In Texas. His crowdfunding Arizona's looking to secure the border as much as it can, And you've got the Florida governor Rhonda Santa's now sending police officers to help the overstretched Border Patrol do his job. I think governor have as a patriot. I think he sees that The federal government by administration has abandoned their responsibility to secure the border. And, you know, Texas has taken a huge holes. So not only the governor Abbott stepping up to protect its citizens, the Texas the whole country should thank him because majority of people crossing the border and majorities of drugs come across that border aren't staying in Texas. They're going throughout the nation. I was on an airplane down real brain Valley and I took it playing back with the Dallas to get a connecting to D. C and I saw about 14 family groups down, playing with packets, confidence of the taxpayer where pants are final trip to the final destination, people internal legally and there was going to Washington, D. C. New York, Chicago. I saw the text there having all of the country Boston So you know, Governor and was doing the right thing for not when the citizens of Texas he's doing the right thing for the country. I think that's why Governor Sanchez to standing up because they're going to feel the effects of the opioid Fentanyl dog. Come in this country legal we already are. Thousands are dying of overdoses. So God bless you. He's doing the right thing. Yeah. Meanwhile, as these governors are announcing efforts to try and crackdown on what's coming across the border, the Justice Department just announced that they're changing what they consider to be an eligibility eligibility for asylum. They are now expanding it to include people who claim domestic violence as well as people who say that they're trying to flee. Gang violence that seems to me like it would open up asylum claims to millions of more people. Tom Homan, Of course, that's why they're doing it and what's really from the service Mark Darwin did he even read the statute. But statues clear what asylum. The definition Asylum and Immigration Nationality Act is that you're escaping fear and persecution from your home government. Because of race religion, you know, political affiliations or participations and a specific, You know, a group. Uh, has nothing to do with domestic violence. Nothing to do with gang bang. And if they are escaping domestic violence and even El Salvador as soon as you get the message. Oh, had they not escape that domestic violence. They left the country where the spouse was. They've left the country where the gang was. So this isn't about escaping domestic violence. Anything about escaping domestic violence is about getting United States. And the bite administration did this on purpose. This is an open border strategy. I've said many I said six months ago, they would do this. And here's why, because 90% of all Central Americans who claim asylum at the border lose their case. They don't qualify. Turner was asylum. So now they're changing the rules. For now 90% will qualify would just be a further enticement for more people to claim asylum. It is ridiculous. It is incomprehensible What they're doing that lost clear. I'm not a lawyer by no Immigration Nationality Act. I brought it 1000 times. I know what the law says that was passed by Congress. Their interpretation is wrong. And I hope the governor sue because they will win the laws clearing how consequential was this changed by the Justice Department this week? Huge. This is shoes. Like I said 90% of such Americans, the dad is clear in the last decade. If you look at the immigration court data 90% of such Americans don't qualify because either don't show up, but they just don't qualify for asylum based on the the rules and what the statute says. This change is going to completely reverse that. And what do you want to do is more people don't come here and claim aside. I'm not saying they got beat up by their spouse or claim they got threatened by gang and we got we had investigations. Ice directed. If you want a police report from the police now, Salvador, you can go play your neighborhood cop. $100. Who you re a lighter Sr. Victim of Game violence. This is this is just this is just open borders. They're taking one more step more really just irks me. Is there every week There's still another enticement. Whether we're going to change the rules of amnesty, or we're going or we're going to, you know, stop detention last week, they said another memoir to the immigration lawyers about how they should administratively closed cases and not prosecute cases. Every week. They're doing something more. Entice people to come. But they get done one thing they haven't taken one step too slow the flow. They're busy trying to managing the optics of the crisis. Okay, we got people of more mature custody. Their their barbeque was no longer you know, got 1000 people and tells you there's no overcoming these facilities. No kidding. Why did you release them quicker? They think that's the success and then tell you something. The quickly released people entered country illegally. That's just another enticement for more to come. This is it. Look, this isn't incompetence. This is by design. This is her plan, and I can't believe America's standing by and watching and more people aren't raising house just we're losing the border and when title 42 ends, which is going to end in about a week. In the single adults are coming across. They won't be able to send them back to Mexico like we're doing under title 42 agreement. They're going to be released in the US, There is no stopping the surge that's coming. You know, As you're saying all this I'm thinking like, you know, really, clearly you watch. As you know, Kamala Harris goes to Guatemala, and she does in front of the cameras in English, she says, Do not come, do not come. But beyond that, What you really have going on is a dramatic change in the Justice Department, while the Biden administration is pretending in front of the American media that is trying to get control of the border crisis. They make it a dramatic change at the Justice Department that will instantly be commuted. Communicated by coyotes in Central America. Hey, baby, the floodgates are open. If you've been looking to get your meal ticket punched now's the time The Vita administration just expanded widely. The number of people who will be eligible to claim asylum in the United States Tom home and you're doing a nice job of summarizing this, but it really reveals that The administration is flat out lying about its intention of getting the border under control. Of course, your line. They haven't done a thing to slow the flow. And at the same time they crippled ice. You know who I can't arrest Now They can rest illegal and he has been convicted of an A great film convicted have their tummy. They can't arrest somebody. We just being here illegal anymore. This administration is no longer illegal to be illegally here to all these people come across the border. Look, it's a win. Even if they lose the court case, they win because no one is looking to remove them. What respect nor why Don't we just shut down immigration courts because every final orders issued by Judge is meaningless if I skip as QB order Lost a resurgent if the immigrant just makes you think you must be removed the issue what they call remove order. Isis job is to take that or execute. Remove the person but I can no longer remove non criminal fugitives..

"Conman of all time is set to release a book on cove and appear in a new disney backed documentary I know eric. I think is i'm gonna make his head explode. One of these days live on the show. The ratings will be through. The roof and civil. Has head of the book is called. Expect the unexpected ten lessons on truth service and the way forward it will be released by national geographic books november. Second and. I know it's just interesting because this guy is already making money off. The backs of tax payers the highest paid federal employees In the entire country makes more than the president's four hundred and seventeen thousand six hundred and eight dollars per year as the director. The director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. And i mean obviously set to make more money. It's weird though. Because i thought that he was supposed to be heading up this whole pandemic which was like the biggest crisis that the united states has ever seen according to don't know him and i guess he was just busy like writing a book and making sure that he could profit off of the backs of the americans whose businesses he destroyed. Who's children's lives. He destroyed. But i mean you know. I mean it's offered you know just just a couple of dollars look low. I will probably about to go crazy chick. Okay i want. The editors mature. Take time here. I think a lot of people were naive. And i think they've conceded this fact when you gotta look at guys like fall chief and his whole pandemic deal folks would wonder if it's not as bad as what they're saying it is why on earth would they be acting in a way that they are. I do believe that fraught. She is narcissistic egotistical enough for him to want to kick that can continuously down the raw because it put him in the spotlight and now he's getting things like this. It's not just a book deals. We've seen them all these magazines. He's being paraded around right now. I believe he loves it. He wasn't getting it before. This is a very old older guys with eighty one or something like that eighty eighty He's been around for a minute but he became a household name. Because of this. Yeah we know by the pandemic. We know all of that but as far as being like a household name that was a relatively new thing he loves it and that's why he like. You couldn't turn on tv without him being on it anyway and you wonder like all right. We'll look asked me to bad right. Act that because why would on early he continued to say. Do you look at what these guys have to gain from keeping this going as long as they go if the pandemic ended like all most immediately say after martha gig which should have been up. Y'all should have known that this fraud he goes away. Nobody's listening to him. Nobody's paying attention to you. Think he wants that. Of course he doesn't want of course he didn't want that he had a lot to gain him. A lot of people had a lot of ways. A lot of things to gain be of to stimulus packages the money and stuff that they're being line. I think with him. He just loved the basking in the fame and fortune that he's going to get from kicking. This can continuously down the road. Yes people are that evil and they work for the government. I mean not conflict of interest. Much like hello. You guys want him to continue making decisions on a pandemic that he's profiting from willpower is intoxicating. I mean it really is an even go to your point again about a token about him being a narcissist who in their right mind would announce that they're going to release a book right now. Who would do that when you think. Oh you know what probably wait a little bit like get it. I'll get the win right like make sure it's all gone away. Now he's doing it and we still have only went up yet. I mean you can't make this up and then all the other variants in when these downtime. I don't have enough time to do my washing. You know. I'm like busy all day. And he's sitting them writing a book in the midst of this really. Yeah it's incredible. It's also expect the unexpected. I hope lesson number one is just be prepared to take both sides of an issue that way. Nobody ever knows you've said the wrong thing works. Every time he is if nothing else he mastered the art of taking multiple sides of the same issue so he can never be pending on being raw although eric. Although but don't you think that the media was complicit in that he's taking opposite ends of the issue but if someone would just really him on because now the people have been actually pushing back on him you see the cdc. Relax all of their guidance. They were doing that before. The media started pushing back on him. So it's like gosh. If only we had a media to push back on him from the beginning maybe he wouldn't have been at all a lot of moving parts that allow this to get as disastrous as as would it did and obviously the media which are the enemies of the people had the if not the biggest hand into i mean again. Those are the people that he's kinda was appealing because they put them on tv all the. I'm tom and was parading. Him around acting as if he was the absolute beacon of truth. So of course so yeah. You're right if people question them and came back in like a really grilled town on the subject matters when he did take both sides of the same issue. Well we wouldn't be in this position but that will require journalist actually meet journalists but we also we have. We have a situation where we creating deities right. This is what's happening year after year. Now is as i think. People moving away from faith like any kind of one of the christian. So what they doing now is they. They need that. God's right so i've seen you driven the guy messed faraji. Oh man i'm going. This is the most embarrassing thing i've ever seen in my life. It's just horrible. Who would do that and that crowning these these idols almost every one of them bad people. This is the irony of it right. They're bad people. They're incompetent they have. They have bad intentions. So i'm interested in is the book He's going to say well. you know. i said you don't need a mask. Say do you need a mask. I mean he has flip flopped on absolutely everything so be interesting to see if you hold himself accountable. Or if he says how amazing is all the way through it right. Yeah i'm spoiler alert. I've not read the book. But i can promise you that. He's going to be amazing. The whole way through beginning middle and end. We've got more to come. I wanna thank our sponsor omaha steaks so summer is here. All right and by the way father's day is around the corner if you wanna hook up with a bunch of meats to grill also.

"It's like why are we focusing mean. Call me crazy. But i feel like when it comes to our armed forces and our military we may should be focusing on just like the strength of it rather than what the hell color of skin everyone has and what they identify as and whether or not their gender fluid other things that they advocate that have basically infiltrated basically that i mean. Those are things that they obviously focus on. Not right right then. They don't care about married based on anything. Say what you will about like military. Everybody here knows how feel about what they do is another conversation but you would think that off this home protection protection idea. You would think that would be about be about married more than anything. How you look how you act. None of that matters. Can you pass. X amount of whatever again is mayor mayor and basically you have the skills to fill this particular position. Now you think that of all things. Even if i did concede that it was a legitimate thing you think of all things hell. We'll take it back to like a private militia. If we looked at it from that standpoint you want those people to be the best suited for that job and it doesn't matter if they have a one i You know whatever scant on brown. Purple black doesn't yellen didn't matter what what skin is. But that's not what they're pushing. They're focusing so much on this whole diversity element and then his whole diversity is our strength which would really make any sense because it's really not like that doesn't mean anything to make up of something. Which is what are the point that i've been driving home when it comes to this concept the makeup is irrelevant to whether or not that is a good or bad thing. This is why. I say when it comes to diversity. That's just a symptom. Like sometimes some things may have over was no such thing as the over under representation which you get it. Maybe example i always use track and field athlete with my own spread facility or something where i trained athletes most of them. Probably that are coming through going to be black. That's just the nature of what it what it is. That doesn't mean that just because my staff for or that it is working there and athletes that come through our predominantly black. There's something wrong with that or that. Were actively keeping out some sort of person. No that's just naturally how it happened but for you guys do value like the you know the the militaristic institution that you shouldn't be scared for your life the fact that that audit marxist bullcrap. They're putting up. There has infiltrated this. So you thought it was immune to it was not not even close. I can just imagine like russia's coming to attack us or you know whoever china and but we're like we'll we'll out woke you have to lesbian mom so take that long shooting me. This is the most important thing. Is that the military is the most efficient full force in the world there about killing. Hopefully the threat of killing the others means that that never happens but of course. That's the only thing that matters is how efficient you are what you do. His the strange thing is i've been very fortunate to what with a lot of branches of the military career path and they do not care about color they none of those things is ever come up in fact you ask marine about that and they say no you know on the marine. That's it i'm green. We're we're all they want so nobody cares. Nobody cares but anyway. And here's the other thing. The thing that really drives me crazy about this diversity stuff is they don't apply universally right. Diverse is strength right. Is that strength apart. From when i disagree with you apart from when you think differently to me then i'm gonna destroy right then it's not strong. Then you're threat okay. So diversity is so. That's fine and the other thing that i notice coming to america. Is that if you embrace the american. The idea of what america is all about then. It doesn't matter what sex you are. What you know a any color you come from. Whether you're british you know come from another country. While massey's you're all joined in focusing on the american dream and what is to be an american and that actually unites people so what they do and he's they're putting the rest of the stuff. I you know what i'm saying. Instead of the stuff they should be focusing on all right before we leave the topic of president biden. The backlash continued for him over the weekend he was. He was giving some remarks on He was speaking at joint base. Langley eustis in hampton virginia.

"Sent sending a letter requesting president biden vice-president harris to lower the medicare eligibility age to fifty five they want to expand medicare benefits include hearing dental and vision care. Wouldn't that be something. allows a program to negotiate lower drug prices. I saw a senator sanders clapping about that In the address. I mean just does this kind of pressure for members of their own party worked to put this on the agenda while i think that maybe the average person doesn't know about what i like to call sign on industrial complex but these letters are really important. Way that senators communicate with one another. It's extremely common for people to to send out letters like this organizations and members of congress. It truly hearkens back to these like very formal days when legislators would write letters to each other. So it's kind of quaint in that way but it's also really important because the more senators that you can get on a letter the better I would say seventeen is a little low. So there's more to go to make sure that This gets into the package. I'm an sometimes these. These letters can be a signal Amount of support That a policy has in the caucus end. You know this. This is just isn't what we would expect for something as important as medicare eligibility. So i don't i don't know if this is really gonna make a difference but this pressure on the medicare eligibility age is essential because it would make a huge difference to people for that age should be lowered and i will just add to that you talked about The medicare conversation. But you really don't have issues like black. Maternal health police reform equal pay on the table. Unless you're getting pressure in less women and people of color are really at the table so those are all good points.

"This is our body politic. I'm the creator and host farai. Today this week we take stock of the first hundred days of the biden harris administration. I a trip to washington. Dc congresswoman eleanor. Holmes norton has represented the district of columbia in the house for thirty years as a delegate from the district that is not a state. She doesn't have the right to vote for legislation on the house floor but that might change her colleagues in. The house voted a week ago in favor of making dc a state congresswoman norton. Welcome to our body politic. Thank you for having me looking over the three decades that you've been in congress what has changed powerfully for the better in terms of equity and what is still lagging behind. What what do you. How do you measure success. We certainly can look at what has been accomplished for women. And what has been accomplished for african americans as leaning in toward success we see for example more women in congress today say it still lags well behind the numbers you would expect as for african americans. I think once we saw black lives matter we understood that black people just would not take it anymore and they went after everything from the way. African americans are treated personally to getting statutes down that extolled the old confederacy so we are seeing the end of the tolerance racism in our country and yet of course there is a powerful resistance to that including white nationalist who marched on the capital on january six and there is the question of taxation without representation which is the rallying cry of many people who look at the status of the citizens of washington. Dc tell us about your relationship to the push for statehood and what it would mean for the residents of dc and for the nation at large. Well i've been in congress for decades pushing for statehood at actually when i first came to congress democrats are in power and i got an actual vote on statehood. A large number of those democrats were southern democrats in so i did not in fact get statehood in my first term. So the first time i got in the majority again i was able to get our dc statehood. Bill passed and i must say it is about a time. When you consider that dc residents pay the highest federal taxes per capita in the united states we think knowledge of that may account for why today fifty four percent of the american people support statehood for the people who live in their nation's capital. And so if you were to speak to a congressperson who you don't know well and make a case for dc statehood in simple terms. What would it be. I would tell them some of the things i think. They don't know for example that we have a budget that is larger than that of twelve states That we have a higher personal and gross domestic product than any state that they did know that that we have a bond rating greater than that of thirty five states. Anna words if anything. I think that the district is over qualified for statehood. And what about the racial dynamics of this moment in time around the demographics of washington washington used to be called chocolate city. Some still do but it has become increasingly mixed in there have been a loss of working class and middle class. Black home ownership as the city has gotten more expensive. What in addition to statehood would really help people who are working class residents of washington..

They're gonna be dragged out in body bags. That's how badly they want this in the headaches. They done a real bang up job. Thank you very much so I hope the kids keep floating and they've got a good platform. They respect that issues that they shouldn't be bipartisanship like climbing. Hmm. And with that, I'll bet you argue, Shawn. Thanks, Elizabeth Rogers. And you gotta be curious to get your reaction to what Sean was saying. I understand that you're interested potentially in a career in public service. I mean, do you feel like, uh There should be more people say of Shawn's age. He's 46 or younger in in federal government. I do. I think that we would love to see more young people for it. It's pretty young. Still, so I would think that we all could just work together and shout that generation generation. Things changed, but we're still able to work alongside each other. Despite our age gap. I know that tradition. There's a lot of older white book in these spaces, and that's what I believe needs to be addressed. And I think that this past election cycle We're able to see that change by having more people of color, more woman in these positions. That's what we need to see and more young people. I have friends who are now elected officials. And I think that's what I admire. And I think that despite our age gap, we're able to work together. And that's what Alec for two in public service. Well, Kelly asks for the person who did not watch the inauguration and spoke about the many years of slavery, white supremacy and genocide. Do you believe Vice President Harris can make a difference in the lives of black and brown people in this administration?.
