  Speaker 1: EVERY GENERATION HAS ITS GREAT BATTLE. OUR GENERATION'S GREAT BATTLE, WELL,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: IT'S TAKING SHAPE RIGHT NOW. AND IT'S A WAR THAT'S
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: BEEN FOUGHT AND WON BEFORE. THE WEST VERSUS THE SOCIALISTS. FORTUNATELY,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: WE HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO THROUGH HIS DON ROE DOCTRINE
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: AND ELIMINATION OF USAID HAS SET THE SOCIALISTS BACK DECADES
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: IN THEIR PLAN TO TAKE THE WEST. LOOK AT THE MAP.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: ARGENTINA HAS JAVIER MILLE, ECUADOR RE-ELECTED DANIEL NOBIA, BOLIVIA ENDED
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: NEARLY 20 YEARS OF SOCIALIST RULE AND CHILE ELECTED JOSE
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: ANTONIO CAST. BRAZIL WAS THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: THE KEYSTONE TO A GEOGRAPHICAL WALL THAT WOULD HAVE REMOVED
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: MUCH OF CHINA'S INFLUENCE OUT OF OUR HEMISPHERE AND TAKEN
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: AWAY ONE OF THE PRIMARY ECONOMIC ENGINES FOR THE SOCIALISTS
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: IN SOUTH AMERICA. This week, on Sunday, through impossible odds,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the socialist dictator in Brazil somehow won re-election and immediately
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: went after his political enemies. We've seen this play out
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: time and time again in socialist strongholds throughout the world, right?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And tonight, Flavio and his family are safe in America,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: thank God, escaping Lula's persecution. But here at home, we
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: are less than a week away from finding out if
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we're able to stop it from taking hold here in America.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And as we were warned about yesterday, it takes hold
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: here in America. Where do we run? There's a reason
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to be concerned this week. We've watched a socialist celebrate
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Lula's claimed victory in Brazil, and yesterday, communism tried to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: intimidate an American ambassador here in New York. UNITED NATIONS
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: AMBASSADOR MIKE WALSH WAS LAYING OUT HOW CUBA'S RULERS LIVE
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: WITH THE PRIVATE ISLAND, THE YATS, THE ROLEXES. WHILE THEIR
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: PEOPLE SIT IN THE DARK, THE CUBAN DELEGATION STOOD UP
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: AND IN WALSH'S WORDS, REGIME THUGS RUSHED THE STAGE. HE
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: TOLD THEM THIS IS AMERICA. THIS IS THE UNITED NATIONS.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: THIS ISN'T YOUR COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP. WATCH THIS. Mr. President, this
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: individual needs to back away from this podium.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: He's not going to intimidate me in the United States
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of America like he tries to intimidate political prisoners.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And I'll ask everybody to go back to their delegations.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And I'm the representative of the United States of America.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Back up!
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Back up, Ambassador.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Back away. This isn't Havana. I'm suspending the meeting. You're
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not going to intimidate me.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I'm suspending this meeting.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Do you understand who you're dealing with?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: This is America.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Back up. The rule is clear. Unbelievable. Now here's Waltz
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: on Hannity last night explaining what happened.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Just before I came on tonight, Secretary Rubio signed the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: paperwork to eject the diplomat that thought he could, the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Cuban diplomat, the first secretary of their delegation, who shoved
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and tried to assault one of our American diplomats.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: He's gone.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: He is going to be on a plane to Havana
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: within the next 24 hours. You lay a hand on
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: an American here in the United States, President Trump, Secretary Rubio,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and myself, we're not going to stand for it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There will be consequences.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: I've known you for a long time.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: You're not somebody to mess with. So here's the question.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Why would a communist regime feel this bold on American soil?
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Seems it has comrades here. The Democrat Senate nominee in Florida,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Angie Nixon, she's a member of the Democratic Socials of America.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We showed you this last night. This is her on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: CBS News. Do you consider that Cuba is a dictatorship?
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: You know, that is what people have told me.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: I have never been to Cuba, and so I will
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: have to take their word for it. And I know
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: you're going to go into this, how do I feel.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Things need to be handled with Cuban relations?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Right now, this decades-long failed embargo has yet to change.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Over the regime.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Now, apparently she's walking it back, and I'd be embarrassed, too.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But she said it. And in August, the DSA called
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Fidel Castro a stalwart symbol of anti-imperialist struggle. Look who's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: toasting Lula. Cuba's Miguel Diaz-Canal called him THE PRESIDENT OF
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT OF THE
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: OF THE UNITED STATES. ARE CLEAR AND TAKING SHAPE. JOINING
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: ME NOW, HE'S A SENIOR FELLOW FOR WESTERN HEMISPHERE SECURITY
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: AND MARITIME AFFAIRS AT THE AMERICA FIRST POLICY INSTITUTE. PETER BROWN,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. THIS IS A,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO REALIZE HOW MUCH OF A
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: THREAT COMMUNISM, THE TYPE THAT SPREAD IN CUBA, THE TYPE
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: THAT SPREAD IN PLACES LIKE RUSSIA, THE TYPE THAT SPREAD
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: EVEN IN CHINA, How big of a threat it is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to the United States. We fought it back for decades.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And now it's at our doorstep yet again. And it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: seems they feel like they have allies within the United States. Now,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this is cause for concern, right?
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: It absolutely is, David. And thank you for having me
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: on the show.
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: The setup was outstanding because I had the opportunity to
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: serve in my 36-year career in the Coast Guard from
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: President Ronald Reagan through President Donald Trump's first term.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: And both of them staunch anti-communist.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: And you made a number of excellent points that I
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: hope that we'll have time to get to them all.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: But I want to point.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: Out two personnel superpowers of this Trump administration and two
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: policy superpowers.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Of this Trump administration.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: On the personnel side, you saw Mike Walz display just
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: plain straightforward and forceful speaking when that was required of
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: the situation. And for too long, we've had cabinet secretaries, diplomats,
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: and leaders who have been unwilling to speak plainly to
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: the American people and to our friends and adversaries around
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: the world. And the second personnel superpower, and this is, again,
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: one that Walt's displayed, is he's not beholden to the
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: bureaucracy that he needs to change. In his case, the
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: United Nations. But other senior leaders within the administration did
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: not come up through the ranks of the bureaucracy that
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: they need to change. For example, Secretary Rubio at Department
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: of State. He's not a career foreign service officer. So
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: those are two superpowers on the personnel side that Mike
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Walsh displayed. And then on the policy side, the Western
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: Hemisphere and the fact that the national security strategy places
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: the Western Hemisphere as the primary regional priority for the
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: United States. For too long, the United States has ignored
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: the Western Hemisphere. And for every nation in the hemisphere,
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: their relationship with the United States, good or bad, is
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: their most important relationship. So, for example, for Cuba, it's
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: not the most important relationship to the United States. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: their antagonism toward the United States is their most important
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: foreign policy priority. And their mission at the United Nations
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: is almost Havana. It's a hotbed of Cuban espionage. It's
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: larger than it ought to be for a country of
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: its size. And a State Department report from a couple
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: of months ago points out that level of communism that's
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: in there. And then I'll very briefly touch on the
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: other policy superpower of the national security strategy, which is
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: that it raises the commercial and economic interests of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: American people to the same level as diplomacy and traditional
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: military security. No one of them can be complete without
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: the others in place. They are mutually supportive and all
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: three are necessary.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You did a great job of getting every one of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: those points delivered, and you're so right on so many
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: of all of those points. The thing that compelled me
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the most, the thing that I found most fascinating about
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: this video was that Cuba seems to be almost dipping
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: their toe in this sort of antagonistic behavior towards the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: United States while in the United States. And I really
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: do feel like the communists are testing how far they
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: can push it in the United States based on these
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: relationships with these perceived allies. Again, Lula... There's still a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: lot of questions about that election. Literally the same night,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you have Waltz, you have Newsom, you have Zoramandani, you
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: have all these Americans congratulating Lula, despite the fact that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the election was questionable at best. And then before the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: ink was even dry on the election, you had them
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: revoking Flavio Bolsonaro's passports, causing him to flee. And yet
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you have American elected officials not saying, this concerns me.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEE THIS. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEE THIS. I THINK IT'S
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: REALLY what we're allowed to say in our own country.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: That is what concerns me, is how emboldened they feel
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: based on what they're seeing on their TV, based on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the language from our own politicians. And if we don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: nip this in the bud, if we don't push back
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: on communism, I fear what we're seeing in a place
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: like Brazil can certainly happen here. And we have a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: lot of elections ahead of us, hopefully, to root this
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: thing out. I got about 30 seconds left, but I
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: want to give you the final word on this.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: There's an absolute through line from the campus havoc of
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: the 1960s through the Black Liberation Movement of the 1970s
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Puerto Rican independence groups robbing armored cars.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: And killing people in the 1980s.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: Through Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the pro-Palestinian movement.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: It's all documented in that State Department report. And just
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: one other piece. This isn't new for Cuba. They gave
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: sanctuary to Ashata Sarkar, a convicted cop killer, Black liberation movement,
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: a fugitive from United States justice. Her poster hangs in
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: Angie Dixon's cafe. And so the idea that this is
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: something new, that Cuba and worldwide communists support the most
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: radical elements.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Within the United States is not new.
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: And you're right on the de Silva regime immediately threatening
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: Flavio Bolsonaro, whose father remains in jail, whose brother has
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: had to flee. It's absolutely crazy the way these repressive
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: regimes absolutely must crushed dissent by both silencing and or
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: imprisoning their critics.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something we got to pay attention to and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it's something we have to speak out against. Now that
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Flavio is safely here in the United States, I'm hopeful
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that the president will take a stronger stance on what
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: we just saw happen in Brazil on Sunday.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Brown, thank you so much for being here. You better
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: come back because I think we have a lot more
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to talk about, my friend.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Take care.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You too. Still ahead tonight, Barack Obama promised you could
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: keep your plan, and that typical family's premium would drop $ 2, 500
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a year. Well, Obamacare didn't deliver. This Sunday, open enrollment starts,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and Obamacare insurers are asking for a median hike of 15%. Dr.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Robert Malone joins me with that. Then Proposition 40 would
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: tax California billionaires about 5% on all their wealth. But
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Meta's board builds Mark Zuckerberg a way out. And later,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Texas' land commission just claimed nine more islands to keep
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Texans safe. All that's coming up. Don't go anywhere.
• 12:07

  Speaker 7: you can't get anywhere else.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to go in the way back
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: machine to remember a promise made by Barack Hussein Obama
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in a room full of doctors.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: No matter how we reform health care, we will keep
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: this promise.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: To the American people.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: If you like your doctor, you will be able to
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan,
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: you'll be able to keep your health care plan.
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: Period.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: No one will take it away, no matter what. Period.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: No matter what. Even PolitiFact named it the lie of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the year, and he promised to cut the typical family's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: premium $ 2, 500 a year. Ah, the promise of Obamacare. This Sunday,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: open enrollment starts for next year. And Obamacare insurers are
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: asking for a median premium hike of 15%. Look at
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the record. It's unaffordable without subsidies, and the subsidies keep
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: getting bigger. THE AVERAGE MONTHLY PREMIUM PAYMENT JUMPED 58%. THE
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE SAYS MAKING THEM PERMANENT COSTS $ 350 BILLION.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: WHO IS PAYING FOR THAT? OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE. ONCE YOU
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: HAVE PAID THE PREMIUM, GOOD LUCK USING IT. The average
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: bronze plan, over 7,000. So doctors are walking away. Practices
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: where patients pay the doctor a membership fee grew 83%
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in five years. And only about two in three doctors
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: will even take a new Medicaid patient now. That is
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the unaffordable Care Act in action. And it was set
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: on a path to fail so they could replace it
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: WITH HEALTH CARE FOR ALL. YOU'RE HEARING IT ALL OVER
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: THE TALKING POINTS FROM THE RADICAL LEFT RIGHT NOW. HEALTH
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: CARE FOR EVERYBODY. THE MEDICARE FOR ALL BILL HAS 114
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: CO-SPONSORS IN THE HOUSE. ROCANA CALLS IT ARGUABLY THE MOST
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: IMPORTANT PRIORITY. WE KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN PARTS
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: OF CANADA. YOU CAN WAIT UP FOR A YEAR TO
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: GET AN MRI. A YEAR. HURT YOUR LEG? CAN'T GO
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: TO YOUR DOCTOR? WAIT A YEAR. Over these subsidies, 43 days,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: longest full shutdown in history, and nothing's changed. Republicans have
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: since put solutions on the table. Then the House passed
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: one to lower premiums earlier this year. The Senate, of course,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: hasn't been able to act, thanks to people like Chuck Schumer,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: who says Republicans riddled their plan with poison pills. Democrats
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: haven't budged on health care reform. They want it to fail.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They want you to suffer until you demand the government
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: take away your private insurance and replace it with a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: public option. It's another path towards socialism, and they're full
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: steam ahead. President Trump already cut drug prices with Trump Rx.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: The Osempic went from $ 1, 028 a month to an average
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of 350 insulin, as low as $ 25 a month. But
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: here's the bottom line. Healthcare needs reform now more than
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: ever before. Election Day is next Tuesday. Republicans have to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: get this done while we still have the majority. How
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: much more can your family pay before the coverage isn't
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: even worth the premium? Joining me now is Dr. Robert Malone, physician, vaccinologist,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: early pioneer of mRNA vaccine technologies and former vice chair
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: Dr.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Malone, welcome back to David Pollack Prime Time. We haven't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: talked about health care reform enough. It is unaffordable. It's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: not unaffordable because of President Trump. It's unaffordable because of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama's Unaffordable Care Act. And it's on a path
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to fail, and Democrats couldn't be happier about it. How
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: important is it that Republicans pick up this issue now
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and run with it before we have to potentially lose
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the House and turn over this Congress?
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: So the polling indicates that this is one of the
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: most critical issues with today's voters, is the cost of
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: medical care. And that really has been, let's say, under-addressed
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: or poorly addressed during this election cycle, particularly by the
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: party that has the biggest investment in trying to do
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: something about it, and has a logical base for approaching this,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: which is, of course, the Republican Party, the right and
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: the center-right. And we have a lot of talk also,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: not just about MAGA, but about Maha and its emphasis
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: on improving Americans' health. And the record is now quite clear.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, has been an abysmal failure.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: It's resulted in catastrophic loss and bankruptcy of an enormous
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: fraction of the American population, particularly the elderly. And there's
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: no end in sight. This idea of substituting more and
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: more government regulation and more and more financial control, subsidies,
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: et cetera, centralized planning, is an abject failure, no surprise
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: to any of us that have followed Ron Paul for
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: forever and are familiar with his logic. But it's not
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: just what's happened to the patients. Medicine is being destroyed.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Physicians are increasingly leaving. You mentioned the concierge medicine strategy
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: that some are resorting to out of desperation. But we
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: have a situation in which Obamacare or the ACA has
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: accelerated corporatization of medicine. And that has resulted in the
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: destruction of what used to be a staple small business
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: of most towns, which was the independent physician and his
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: practice or her practice. And so now we have a
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: situation in which docs that are coming out are burdened
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: by enormous medical school costs. They're forced to comply with,
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: you know, widespread incentives to buy in to these policies
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: of DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, that's baked into medical curriculum
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: as well as the selection process. And they're routed to
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: work for the big corporations. They're not taught anything about
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: how to run a small business. And there are... Essentially
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: no federal programs that are written to support physicians as
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: small business persons. It's all written to support the big
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: corporations and the insurance companies. And the consequence is predictable.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: And look. breaking it down to just the bottom line
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: for a family, and this is Obamacare. Before Obamacare, you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: can pretty much get insurance at an affordable rate with
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: pretty reasonable deductibles. I remember, because I didn't have insurance
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: when I graduated college, and I remember shopping for my
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: own insurance, and I remember finding it pretty affordable. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: then I had a job with a company and they
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: had health care coverage. And then recently I started shopping
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for insurance again as an independent business person. And I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: was shocked to see what the premiums turned into. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it is not affordable for people to buy insurance anymore.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And the way it was sold when Obamacare was passed
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: is that this would make health care more affordable. It
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: hasn't done that. Healthcare has gotten so unaffordable just even
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: by the plans. And then you have the deductibles, which
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: makes it almost useless to even use it. You can
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: go and get a cash price and then forget the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: prescription drugs because you're better off not using your prescription
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: drug coverage and just paying cash and getting those silly
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: little coupons. So basically health insurance has turned into something
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: that if you have a decent income, YOU CAN'T EVEN
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: USE HEALTH INSURANCE ANYMORE. YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST PAY CASH.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: AND THEN IF YOU HAVE NO INCOME, EVERYBODY WHO CAN'T
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE IS SUBSIDIZING THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: THIS WAS ALL PART OF THE PLAN. THIS IS THAT
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: DEATH SPIRAL. SO THEN THAT WAY THE PEOPLE WHO CAN
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: ACTUALLY AFFORD INSURANCE GO, WELL, FORGET IT. LET'S JUST GET
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: THIS GOVERNMENT. THIS IS ALL PART OF THE DESIGN AND
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: IT'S HAPPENING IN REAL TIME. People will have no choice
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: but to either be beholden to a company that can
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: pay for their benefits or beholden to the government to
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: give you your benefits. This is the failure of health
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: care or health insurance, I should say.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Well, you mentioned the Canadian system, and there is an
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: even darker side behind that, which is the policy having
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: to do with the acronym is MADE, Medical Assistance in Dying.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: And it appears that the Canadian.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Government has promoted a system in which individuals who are
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: no longer contributing in a significant financial way to the
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: overall economics of Canadian economy are being routed in many
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: ways into this MAID program that, from an objective outside
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: point of view, looks like it's designed to reduce costs
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: for the Canadian government. by reducing those individuals that are
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: more dependent on the, quote, healthcare system, the socialized system
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: that exists. So if we do this, if we follow
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: this track that the Democrats have been promoting of increasing
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: socialism in healthcare, what we end up with is a
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: situation in which we're entirely at risk for the whims
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: of the state, large insurance companies, And this consolidated industry
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: in which what's happened is you've had private equity come in,
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: scoop up physician practices, scoop up hospitals. The real estate
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: trusts now control most of the hospitals. And it's all
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: being driven by how can you extract value, capital out
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: of this system? How can you extract profit? from people suffering.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: That is really what's going on. And the state is
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: completely compliant with this. They seem to be endorsing it
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: and backing it. And frankly, for a skeptical Austrian school
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: of economics kind of person, such as myself, what you
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: see is the state giving one of the clearest examples
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: of how it tends to promote monopolies or oligopolies. And
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: it tends to promote the interests of the very large
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: businesses that have the resources both to comply with regulations
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: and to lobby Congress to get policies that favor their
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: financial interests implemented, as opposed to the policies of the
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: small business person who has no seat at the table.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: That's what we're facing.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And, you know, the last thing we need is
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: government rationing healthcare and then deciding whose life is worth saving.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: How else does this end?
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly what it is.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: How else does this end?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: And you can say all the pretty words you want.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: You can put all the propaganda around.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It you want.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: You can listen to smooth salesmen such as Barack Obama.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: and feel compelled by those emotional ties that they're so
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: good in promoting. But if you take a step back
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: and look at the overall arc of this, which, by
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: the way, starts with HillaryCare, and that was a thing
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: as a young medical student that I foresaw that was
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: going to completely destroy the economics of what I had
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: intended to do, which was go into a pediatric practice
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: in a small town in the U.S.A. It is when
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: when Hillary care got rolled out and all that discussion
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: started happening, it was clear to me what the arc
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: was here and that my whole idea about being a
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: small business person and running a private practice was completely
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: obsolete and had no future in the American health care
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: system that was being promoted by the Democrat Party.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Well, look, and it's important for people to hear it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: They have to know what's going on. I think we
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: have to put this talking point out in front of everybody.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: They have to understand what's at stake in this next
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: election and in the next couple of years, because if
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: we let them socialize our medicine, I don't think people
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: understand how bad it can be. Dr. Malone, thank you
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: so much for being here. Please come back often. Please
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: continue to spread the word. We have to save health
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: care in America before the socialists take it over. Sir,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. Thanks, David.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Coming up, Bernie Sanders says the billionaires are
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the enemy and Proposition 40 in California would hit every
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: single resident here. worth a billion dollars or more with
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a one-time 5% tax. Just give it up to the government.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: But guess what? The oligarchs aren't having to pony up
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the cash. Meta's board cut Mark Zuckerberg a deal to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: pay it without affecting his majority voting control, and the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: campaign pushing the tax cheered. I got Dennis Neal joining
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: me after this.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: For all of our viewers out there asking where to

  Speaker 7: to easily sign up for the news and conservative talk

  Speaker 7: you can't get anywhere else.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: For years, the left has told you the billionaires are
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the enemy. Bernie Sanders came to California this month to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: say to himself.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Look, never before in American history have we seen a
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: billionaire class with so much political power.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And never before.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Have we seen such an unprecedented level of greed, arrogance,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: and irresponsibility on the part of the ruling class of
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Yay!
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: We hate the people that give us jobs! Woo! You
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: want to talk about arrogance and greed? Do you know
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: what Proposition 40 is on California's ballot Tuesday? It's a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: one-time 5% tax on the net worth of every Californian
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: worth a billion dollars or more. Think about this. They
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: want to vote to seize 5% of the wealth of
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the wealthiest people in California. How can you vote to
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: steal somebody's money? A health care union put it on
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the ballot, and Bernie Sanders calls it a fight against
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the greed of the oligarchs What about the greed of
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the state? And then as, you know, oligarchs do, they
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: tend to exempt themselves from having to pay these taxes.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about what Meta did. Meta's board built Mark
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Zuckerberg his own way out of the billionaire squeeze. Every shareholder...
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: gets a new non-voting share, and the board cut Zuckerberg
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: a deal on his. The company's own filing says he
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: can sell up to 20% of his new shares for
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: any reason, including so that he may pay his potential
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: tax liability under California's Proposition 40. without affecting his majority
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: voting control. Nobody is building you a workaround. They're not
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: building you a workaround. In California, a single filer hits
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: a 9.3% income tax bracket at $ 72, 724. Every paycheck loses
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: another 1.3% to the state disability tax with no cap.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: You pay 63.4 cents a gallon in a gas tax.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Even the Iron Workers Union fighting Prop 40 warns it
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: can turn into a trap door for working families. THE BUSINESSES,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: THE BUSINESSES, THE BUSINESSES, THE BUSINESSES. THE RICH, THE POWERFUL
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: GET REWARDED AND THE GUY WORKING HIS WAY UP GETS
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: THE BILL WHEN THE PEOPLE WITH THE MONEY EITHER DON'T
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: PAY THEIR TAXES OR LEAVE. THEY SAY THEY'RE AGAINST THE
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: BILLIONAIRES BUT IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT HOW THIS WORKS,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they're really against the middle class climbing up behind them.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Joining me now is Dennis Neal, former anchor at CNBC
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and Fox Business, former managing editor, Forbes, author of The
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Leadership Genius of Elon Musk, and host of What's Bugging
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Me podcast. Dennis Neal, welcome. Now, can you break down
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: what in the world kind of a deal Zuckerberg made
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: with California so they don't touch his billions? I'm confused.
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's interesting that the board of Meta, the owner
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: of Facebook, was so intent on keeping him officially in
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: California that they're willing to put up billions of dollars
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: in shareholder money. And this means that the California proposal
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: now ostensibly is taken, was supposed to be a soap
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: the billionaires tax and spread it to rank and file shareholders.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Of Facebook, including... teacher.
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: Pension funds and nurse retirement funds and firefighter funds. That's
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: what they've done here. And it's rather belated because let's
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: also remember that $ 1 trillion of the total $ 2 trillion
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: held by billionaires in California, $ 1 trillion has already left
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: the state in anticipation of this passing. And that includes
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: the billions held by Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. And
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the co-founders of Google.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: So the losses already are counting.
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: We underestimate how even the very richest among us will
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: do almost whatever it takes legally to avoid and reduce taxes.
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: Taxes are the most inefficient drain on your wealth. Not risk,
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: not things going out of business.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It's taxes. So if I understand, here's what's happening. California
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: wants to steal 5% of billionaires' money, and the billionaires.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Say— Only one time, though.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Only one time, we promise. How many times can you
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: steal 5%? I guess you can only do it, what,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: 10 times or 20 times before there's no billions left.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: But the idea is— When you have people that can
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: just take their money and leave the state, well, now
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you're not only not getting that 5%, you're not getting anything.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And that's what's happening. Exactly.
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: In fact, California's own projections show, I believe, that they
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: could end up, is it $ 30 or $ 36 billion in
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: lower revenue in tax collections? as a result in response
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: to this kind of move. And let's remember, it's never
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: going to be one time only. And the problem isn't that,
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: I guess, Jeff Bezos worth $ 150 billion, let's say. So
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: you take 5% of that. So that's $ 5 billion. Oh,
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: it's just $ 5 billion. But he has to sell stuff
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: to raise that $ 5 billion in cash.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: And then so he sells, say, $ 7.
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: Billion because he's got to pay 20% capital gains on
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: whatever he sells. And so then just ripples and ripples.
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: And it's just terrible tax policy. You should be cutting taxes,
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: not raising them. Government needs to get by with less
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: because that then forces government to cut. Look at the
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: federal cut span. Almost, what is it, 400,000 fewer government workers.
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: Do we sense any change at all in the services
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: we receive?
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: None.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's all waste. And the crazy part about
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: it is California, I think they have the seventh largest
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: economy or something in the world. And yet you drive
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: around the roads here, it's like driving on the surface
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: of the moon, potholes and craters and nonsense. You have
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: all these supposed social service plans, and then you just
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: have homeless people still sleeping right outside of the public
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: funded homeless centers. It's like everywhere they spend the money,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: it seems it just goes to waste. But the interesting
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: part here, Dennis, is the fact that you have all
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: these liberal billionaires and billionaires, especially the billionaires, they're all
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: so liberal, but yet they don't want to pay their
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: taxes and they want to leave California so they can
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: avoid paying the taxes after they vote for the people
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: that want to seize their wealth. This is just the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: craziest thing ever. And of course, Bernie talks about oligarchs
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and oligarchs that are putting this tax burden right back
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: on the middle class. And it's just a lie that
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: we see every Every time these people try to steal,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: steal money, they just steal it from us, isn't it?
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: Well, the real trickle down economics is taxes because it
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: starts on the rich and ends up down. Look at
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: cell phone tax. It was originally just a service of
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: the rich.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Very high taxes.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: One of the highest.
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: Taxes of necessary service today that most poor people have.
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: And yet the tax rate is huge.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a shame. Well, you know, good luck, billionaires.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: If you elect Democrats, there's not going to be a
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: state in the country you can hide from. There'll be
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: a federal 5% billionaire's tax. Dennis Neal, thank you so
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: much for being here. As always, look forward to talking
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: again real soon, my friend.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: Thanks, David.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Still ahead, Texas just got even bigger. The land office
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: confirmed nine more islands in the Rio Grande. About 66
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: acres belong to the state of Texas. And it sent
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the coordinates to DPS and the Texas military department to patrol, inspect,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and clear them. And later, in BioWare's last big game,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: a character misgenders a companion. and drops for push-ups as pennants.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Gamers answered with their wallets. And last week, EA shut
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: down BioWare's Edmonton studio. All that's coming up. Don't go anywhere.

  Speaker 1: And if you recall back in 2023, Texas looked at
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: a 170-acre island in the middle of the Rio Grande,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: front an island in Starr County, and declared it state land.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Texas DPS called that stretch the most violent region on
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the Texas-Mexico border, with armed gunmen coming across. DPS and
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the Texas Military Department cleared the brush, and the land
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: office says crime at that hotspot was halted dramatically. But
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: this week... Well, Texas got a little bit bigger. The
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Texas General Land Office identified nine more islands in the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Rio Grande, about 66 acres in all, from the Laredo
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: area south towards McAllen, and confirmed they belong to the
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: state of Texas. In the commissioner's words, for years, the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: ownership of these islands has been uncertain. Customs and Border
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Protection had questions about 28 islands whose ownership has hadn't
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: been established. So Texas went back to the historical records
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and surveys, did the paperwork, and sent the coordinates to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: DPS and the Texas military department so they can patrol, inspect,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and clear them of any illegal activity they may encounter
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: in Mexico. Well, of course, they pushed back, but the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: reality is Texas didn't grab everything in the river and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of the 20 islands surveyed. She says the other 11
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: are likely Mexico's. Texas took what the records say belongs
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to Texas. Let me explain why those islands matter to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Texas so much. Because they remember what the Biden years
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: looked like. In the fiscal year 2023, Border Patrol apprehended 338,000
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: people in the Rio Grande Valley sector alone. This fiscal
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: year through August, it's under 20,000, down 93% from the
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: same months under Biden. And while Texas was trying to
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: hold the line, the Biden administration fought it every step
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: of the way. Biden's Justice Department sued Texas over its
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: buoys in the river. Biden's Homeland Security Department demanded Texas
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: open Shelby Park and Eagle Pass to back up federal agents.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: And the Biden administration went all the way to the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court and won five to four in order, letting
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: federal agents keep cutting Texas's razor wire. President Trump, the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Bowie lawsuit was dropped. And thanks to Trump, there's no
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: criminal activity on these islands anymore. That's the point. This time,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Texas isn't waiting for cartels to move in. It's making
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: sure Democrat border chaos never comes back, no matter who
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: sits in the White House. Joining me now is Dr.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Dawn Buckingham, surgeon, former Texas state senator, and first woman
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: ever elected to Texas land commissioner. Commissioner, welcome back to
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: David Pollak Prime Time. Love having you on, and I
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: love what you're doing in Texas. I mean, everybody loves
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: big things in Texas. Texas isn't big enough. Let's get
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of islands to make Texas safer, right? Talk
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: about what the move is there to secure Texas's border.
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: Well, we are really excited about this because we want
• 38:31
  Speaker 11: to be sure that we are sleuthing out and eliminating
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: every potential cartel safe haven. So the Border Patrol wanted
• 38:37
  Speaker 11: us to look at 28 islands. We found that nine
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: were actually Texas. We've got them declared as Texas. Texas
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: is getting bigger and safer. Just like you said, this
• 38:46
  Speaker 11: will give law enforcement access to those islands to be
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: sure that we're not having any illegal activity on them now.
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: And nor can we ever in the future. And we're
• 38:54
  Speaker 11: just excited to be a part of making Texas bigger
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: for the second time in a few hundred years. And
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: we've done it twice in about two years.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: So now, obviously, Mexico is probably not happy to just
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: give up islands that it thinks it's entitled to, from
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: what I understand. You know, there's the Texas, there's the
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Mexico ones, and then there's the Texas ones. And you
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: guys basically just took control over the Texas islands. And
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that's because they need to be secure. So cartel activity
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: can't cross over to them. How does this play out?
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Because Mexico is its own country. You're a state. It
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: gets in like a foreign affairs issue. This has to
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: get messy, right?
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: I don't think it's going to be very messy. But
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: our treaty with Mexico from 1836, anything north of the
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: center of the Rio Grande is Texas. It's the United States.
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: And we were founded in 1836 as the mapping entity
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: for the state. It's our job to determine just that.
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: So we think this is plain and simple, easy to
• 39:47
  Speaker 11: go back to that 1836 agreement. We don't expect any
• 39:50
  Speaker 11: big issues from Mexico, but we'll stay on our ground,
• 39:54
  Speaker 11: so to speak.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Well, look, and I think, again, this is just such
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: a smart move, and this is why Texans are so
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: proud of their Republican government there in Texas. This is
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: why they should show up next Tuesday, because you have
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: to remember what it was like when Biden was president
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: and what Texas had to do to just defend itself
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: from Biden's open borders. I know you've got to run.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: How much better is it now with Trump's border policy
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: for Texans than it was before?
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: It is literally and statistically 99.9% better. We saw an
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: immediate change when Trump took office. It's the perfect example
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: of how we were saying it's the federal policies that
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: actually drive illegal immigration. So Trump has really set that down.
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: But we've got to be sure that we're ready if
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: the pendulum swings back. If at some point in the
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: future we have another administration that refuses to uphold its
• 40:44
  Speaker 11: constitutional duty to defend our borders, we're going to be
• 40:47
  Speaker 11: sure we secure everything up now. We're good going into
• 40:50
  Speaker 11: the future. And again, we just love making Texas bigger
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: and safer.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Well, keep up the great work. Great, great job. And
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: good luck on Tuesday, Commissioner. Thank you so much for joining.
• 41:01
  Speaker 11: Thanks for having me on. Have a great day.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: 85% of American teenagers play video games, and BioWare's last
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: big game came, well, with a woke lecture. One companion
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: gets a whole coming out storyline, and the main story
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: makes you recruit them and then have to watch them
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: get misgendered. Gamers answered with their wallets. Go woke, go broke.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Hits again. My producer's coming on. Thomas joins me after
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the break.
• 41:38

  Speaker 7: you can't get anywhere else.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Woke ideology has infiltrated everything. Hollywood, the music industry, the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: shows your kids stream every night. You sit down for
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: a story and somewhere in there you get a lecture.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: But the place a lot of parents aren't watching may
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: be the worst of all. The video games Pew Research
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: found 85% of American teenagers play video games and 41%
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: play every single day. One of the biggest names in
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that world was a company called BioWare, the studio behind
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. They make role-playing
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: games where you play a hero, make choices in the story,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and travel with a crew of companion characters. Their last
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: big one was called Dragon Age The Veil Guard, and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: one of those companions, Tash, Kits a whole storyline about
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: realizing they're non-binary. Video game characters realizing they're non-binary and
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: coming out to their friends, look.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: So, I'm non-binary.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: It means I don't feel like a man or a woman.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: If you are neither a man nor a woman, then
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: what are you?
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: Non-binary.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: Non-binary.
• 43:31
  Speaker 12: I just said, and I'm going to use they instead
• 43:34
  Speaker 12: of she from now on.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: If this is because I have criticized your dress or
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: your manners. It isn't. You couldn't avoid it. The main
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: story makes you recruit Tash. And then in another scene,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: a character calls Tash she. And there's this awkward pause
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: before someone corrects them on the proper pronouns in the game.
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: Look.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: And this time, no dragon escaped.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: Thanks to Tosh.
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: That's why we recruited her.
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: Um.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Actually, Tosh uses them for themselves now.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: They asked us to let folks know, so now you do.
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 13: I appreciate it.
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: Thank you for telling me.
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: That's why we recruited them.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: The character creator even gives your hero an option. I
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: can't even believe this. For top surgery scars. Mark Kern,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: a former World of Warcraft team lead, said the game
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: lectures you on the right way to apologize for misgendering someone.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Watch what happens when yet another character misgenders Tash.
• 44:47
  Speaker 12: She's still holding the ruby in her other hand. Maker's panties,
• 44:50
  Speaker 12: I was so proud.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, um, ah, sh * *.
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: They, they're still holding it, sorry.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: What are you doing?
• 45:02
  Speaker 12: Pulling a barve.
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Okay. A barve?
• 45:07
  Speaker 12: Tradition in the Lords of Fortune, from one of our
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: old members, Barve. Good guy, but like most of us,
• 45:12
  Speaker 12: his plans went sideways a lot. Bad blood among your crews,
• 45:15
  Speaker 12: not good for morale, but there's not always time for big,
• 45:18
  Speaker 12: drawn-out apologies. So when one of us screws up and
• 45:21
  Speaker 12: we know we've screwed up, we do a quick ten
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: to put it right.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Pulling a barve. Now, gamers answered with their wallets. EA
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: says Veilguard drew about 1.5 million players, about half of
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: what it expected. This summer, EA's $ 55 billion sale closed,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and the company went private. And last week, after the sale,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: EA shut down BioWare's Edmonton studio, part of about 400
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: job cuts. I guess go woke, go broke. Games, where
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: millions of American kids spend their evenings, And what's on
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: that screen shapes them. I see BioWare closing as a
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: positive step for kids' minds now that the rest of
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: the industry, they need to get their message. Our kids
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: want a good story. They want to play a video game.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: They don't want your nonsense woke lectures. Now, in order,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I don't play video games, so in order to break
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: this down in a way I can understand this, joining
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: me now is actually somebody who's usually behind your camera,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: and now he's in front of it, my producer here
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: at David Pollak Prime Time on OAN. Thomas, Thomas, welcome.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: On this side of the camera. Now, you brought me
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: this story because you're like, David, look at this video game.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: You showed me that scene where Tash is coming out
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: and you can't even skip the scene. You're forced to
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: watch this whole stupid thing play out. And I said, oh,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: my God, I did not realize how they were targeting
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: our kids in these role playing games. Talk about this,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: because this is all new to me.
• 46:51
  Speaker 13: Well, I think one of the biggest things here is
• 46:54
  Speaker 13: even less so about just the forced woke ideology and
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: all these things, as important as it is that that
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: is happening, because like you said, you cannot skip this scene.
• 47:04
  Speaker 13: And as we saw, people are, there's characters doing pushups
• 47:07
  Speaker 13: as a recompense for saying she instead of they, and
• 47:12
  Speaker 13: probably the most awkward coming out scene in any media
• 47:16
  Speaker 13: that I have ever seen, and they've been happening more
• 47:18
  Speaker 13: and more often, But in addition to that, it's also
• 47:21
  Speaker 13: the reaction to this because this was the latest game
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: of one of the biggest studios. The Mass Effect games
• 47:27
  Speaker 13: were huge. I played the last one, Mass Effect Andromeda.
• 47:31
  Speaker 13: It was an amazing game despite its unfinished state. The
• 47:36
  Speaker 13: last Dragon Age game, Dragon Age Origins, is widely considered
• 47:39
  Speaker 13: one of the best RPGs of all time. And now
• 47:43
  Speaker 13: they come out with The Veil Guard, and instead of
• 47:46
  Speaker 13: making a... storyline that really captures audiences and really brings
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: people in on what they want to do, which is,
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: as you said, create a hero, fight enemies, save people.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: That's what these RPGs are about.
• 48:00
  Speaker 13: Instead, it became this, well, now we're going to talk
• 48:04
  Speaker 13: about this character's non-binary and you have to take them
• 48:08
  Speaker 13: with you and you have to watch this happen. And Gamers,
• 48:12
  Speaker 13: for better or worse, didn't react well to that. That's
• 48:15
  Speaker 13: not what they wanted out of their game. And so
• 48:17
  Speaker 13: now that EA has been purchased and they shut down BioWare,
• 48:23
  Speaker 13: that's all that happens. That's where everything ended for BioWare.
• 48:26
  Speaker 13: And it's a shame that such a legendary studio had
• 48:30
  Speaker 13: to be shut down because they couldn't make games people wanted.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: Instead, they make games that they wanted.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: And we talk about at the beginning of the show,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: we talk about sort of this battle between socialism and
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: the West. And I don't want to make everything about that.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: But you have to understand this effort to divide people
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: on every single issue, where you can't even escape it.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: You can't go to a sporting event now and escape
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the division. You can't play a video game and escape
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: the division. You can't go to a concert anymore and
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: escape the division. You can't go and watch a movie
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: and escape the division. And it's on every single thing,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: whether it's Palestine, whether it's a war in Iran, whether
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it's gender fluidity. A video game character, this one in particular,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: it's like some beast thing with horns.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: And.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: It's like a dragon. They're like part dragon.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't even have an anatomy as far as I'm concerned.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: We all remember when we were young and we had
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: our action figures. None of them ever had clothes on.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: And you know what? They didn't have any private parts.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: It was just either plastic underwear or nothing. It was
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: just with their legs attached. None of us, when we
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: were young and played with things, ever thought of... characters
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: that are like non-human alien looking things of having any
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: gender at all. It's just, it's not relevant to playing.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: And here they've gone out of their way, freaking top
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: surgery scars to make characters have these. I mean, what
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: would be really funny if they want to have fun
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: with it, what they could say is he can look
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: down and go, I have no gender. I guess I'm non-binary.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Now that would be funny because we would all laugh
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: because that's like a toy story joke from the way
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: these things are made. Nobody wants this stuff force fed
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: to them constantly. People go to video games to escape life,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: especially now more than ever, because it is just so
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: overwhelming to be bombarded by all these politics. And now
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: they've even ruined that. So where do people go? Now,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: what are people playing now if they're running away from
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: these types of games? What games are successful?
• 50:21
  Speaker 13: I think actually there's been a huge rise lately in
• 50:25
  Speaker 13: indie video games, which is games made by smaller teams.
• 50:29
  Speaker 13: Usually some of these big ones are made just by
• 50:32
  Speaker 13: one person sitting in their garage on a computer and
• 50:35
  Speaker 13: programming a game they want to make. And it's been
• 50:39
  Speaker 13: crazy to watch in the last couple years how these
• 50:42
  Speaker 13: big AAA studios, which is what we call the big
• 50:45
  Speaker 13: companies like EA, and you've got BioWare up there, Obsidian,
• 50:50
  Speaker 13: some of these really big companies that have made great
• 50:53
  Speaker 13: games in the past, But lately they've been falling short.
• 50:56
  Speaker 13: And so people have been turning more to indie studios
• 50:59
  Speaker 13: and independent game makers. And just watching that rise as
• 51:03
  Speaker 13: people have been able to play what they want to
• 51:06
  Speaker 13: play and make what they want to make has been
• 51:09
  Speaker 13: the big thing. It's amazing what happens when you have
• 51:12
  Speaker 13: a small group of people that don't have to answer
• 51:15
  Speaker 13: to somebody pushing Like, oh, we need more representation in
• 51:19
  Speaker 13: this game. And I honestly think that's what happened with
• 51:22
  Speaker 13: the last Dragon Age game. They just said, they looked
• 51:25
  Speaker 13: at the game and went, oh no, we don't have
• 51:27
  Speaker 13: any representation. And non-binary was the big thing when that
• 51:31
  Speaker 13: game came out a couple of years ago.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: And so they said, well, here's our non-binary character. We're
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: throwing it in.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I think it's, everybody's just so sick and tired of that.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I remember when I watched the Eternals and when Marvel
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: really just fell off a cliff. I used to love
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: all the Marvel movies. I watched Eternals. And they have, like,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: these are aliens from another planet that came to Earth and, like,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: blended in to shape human history. And each one of
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: them checked some kind of woke box that had, like,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: a deaf one, a non-binary, minor-looking one that was attracted
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: to an older adult. I mean, they literally went as
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: far as they could. And I'm like, this has nothing
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: to do with the story. Video games went the same way.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: You know, if people want a fun game, they can
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: go to whitehouse.gov. They have real simple video games. I
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: was playing that day. You just press the button, little
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: bird flaps.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 52:16
  Speaker 13: Anybody who played Flappy Bird on the iPod back in
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: the early 2010s, they have a version of it on there.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: So we could just get rid of all the woke
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: stuff and just play the whitehouse.gov games. And that's pretty simple, right?
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 52:29
  Speaker 13: That's a really simple way to do it. And I mean, again,
• 52:32
  Speaker 13: like nowadays... it's so easy to make a game. It's it,
• 52:37
  Speaker 13: they've made it so simple with some of these ways
• 52:40
  Speaker 13: that now like steam is the big way people play
• 52:43
  Speaker 13: games on their computer. There's games on there that people
• 52:46
  Speaker 13: are selling for $ 2 and some of them look better
• 52:50
  Speaker 13: than some of the big AAA games that have come out.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: And that's the strategy is give back to the people
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: that have built what they want. Thomas, my producer from
