Latest / Normally / Normally Podcast: Normal-ish Takes on Political Insanity
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome to normally this show with normal
- 0:04Speaker 1: ish takes, but when the news gets weird.
- 0:06Speaker 2: I am Mary Katherine Yam and I'm Carol Markowitz.
- 0:10Speaker 1: We are excited to be here with you guys. The
- 0:13Speaker 1: thing about Carol and me is that we're normal ish, right, guy.
- 0:18Speaker 1: We got kids, We do grocery shopping, we drive our
- 0:21Speaker 1: own cars, things that a lot of people in the
- 0:24Speaker 1: elite circles do not do. But we pay so much
- 0:27Speaker 1: attention to the news that we thought maybe we could
- 0:30Speaker 1: bring some of that to you guys normally exactly that.
- 0:34Speaker 1: So that's what we planned to do here today. I
- 0:36Speaker 1: think Carol's going to kick us off with a little
- 0:39Speaker 1: bit about what Kamala Harris actually believes. We're going to get.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Right into it today and see if we could figure
- 0:46Speaker 2: that out. Now, Yeah, the round kids, as we recall
- 0:50Speaker 2: a magical time in the year twenty twenty. You see,
- 0:55Speaker 2: the left got to say anything, literally anything, And let
- 1:00Speaker 2: MK get into it further about what Kamala Harris believed then.
- 1:04Speaker 2: But it's a long and crazy list.
- 1:07Speaker 1: So yeah, our friend Mark Tayson at the Washington Post
- 1:11Speaker 1: has put together a helpful list for us, and you
- 1:13Speaker 1: do need a list because there have been so many
- 1:15Speaker 1: changes we have banning the sale of gas powered cars.
- 1:20Speaker 1: In April twenty nineteen, she co sponsored an act that
- 1:24Speaker 1: would eventually get us to the banning of gas powered
- 1:26Speaker 1: vehicles by twenty forty. She wanted to accelerate that model
- 1:31Speaker 1: as part of her twenty nineteen campaign get us there
- 1:33Speaker 1: by twenty thirty five. You know, just very very normal
- 1:36Speaker 1: stuff in a federal ban on fracking. At CNN's twenty
- 1:41Speaker 1: nineteen town hall, we've seen her on tape saying there's
- 1:44Speaker 1: no question I'm in favor of banning fracking, ending private
- 1:47Speaker 1: health insurance. She's also on tape saying that she was
- 1:50Speaker 1: a co sponsor for Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All Act.
- 1:55Speaker 1: She was asked by Jake Tapper at a January twenty
- 1:57Speaker 1: nineteen town hall about it, and she said she would
- 2:00Speaker 1: totally eliminate private insurance. The great Neil new Deal, decriminalizing
- 2:04Speaker 1: illegal border crossings, defunding ice healthcare for illegal immigrants. I
- 2:09Speaker 1: mean it goes on and on, mandatory gun buybacks, and
- 2:13Speaker 1: now I mean, yeah, that stuff.
- 2:15Speaker 2: You forgot my personal favorite sex changes for illegal immigrant prisoners.
- 2:21Speaker 2: You know, so if you're in prison and you're an
- 2:23Speaker 2: illegal immigrant to this country, free sex change for you.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I mean, that one is so wild, though a lot
- 2:28Speaker 1: of people just thought it was fake because it sounded
- 2:31Speaker 1: so crazy.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Right, So they got allowed to be as crazy as
- 2:36Speaker 2: they wanted in twenty twenty, and they got a lot
- 2:38Speaker 2: of cover from the media about it. But now it's
- 2:42Speaker 2: not as cool to be insane anymore. And it's twenty
- 2:45Speaker 2: twenty four, and so now the media is doing a
- 2:48Speaker 2: little bit of a cover job. The New York Times
- 2:50Speaker 2: sends out this email occasionally, and I make the mistake
- 2:54Speaker 2: of reading it. And in the last one they tried
- 2:58Speaker 2: to say that in twenty twenty, here's the quote. Trump's
- 3:03Speaker 2: extremism had radicalized many Democrats in the opposite direction. Progressives,
- 3:08Speaker 2: especially the college graduates whose staff campaigns and think tanks,
- 3:12Speaker 2: wanted to decriminalize border crossings, band fracking, abolish private health insurance,
- 3:17Speaker 2: and defund the police. The party's presidential candidates embraced at
- 3:21Speaker 2: least some of these positions, even though they were never
- 3:23Speaker 2: broadly popular, and they never became popular despite the passionate
- 3:28Speaker 2: arguments that advocates made. Now, in order to do this,
- 3:32Speaker 2: they also have to rewrite what happened in twenty twenty,
- 3:35Speaker 2: which was that Bernie Sanders was going to be the
- 3:37Speaker 2: nominee until the Democratic Party did what the Democratic Party does,
- 3:42Speaker 2: banded together and got rid of him. They made sure
- 3:45Speaker 2: everybody else dropped out. Joe Biden had a clear path,
- 3:48Speaker 2: and that's how it went down. So you have the
- 3:52Speaker 2: situation where she doesn't believe any of that stuff anymore,
- 3:56Speaker 2: we're told, but we don't actually know that, because never
- 4:00Speaker 2: has Kamala Harris come out and said I no longer
- 4:03Speaker 2: hold these beliefs. Instead, we have a whispered network where
- 4:06Speaker 2: an aid off the record tells somebody at the New
- 4:10Speaker 2: York Times or the Washington Post, oh, no, she doesn't
- 4:12Speaker 2: believe that anymore. How we're supposed to just accept that,
- 4:15Speaker 2: especially since one of the candidates running for president didn't
- 4:19Speaker 2: have to go through a primary answer any questions at all.
- 4:22Speaker 2: We don't know what Kamala Harris stands for, and the
- 4:25Speaker 2: media does not want us to find out.
- 4:27Speaker 1: There's an LA Times piece that addresses this a bit
- 4:30Speaker 1: as well. And again she's getting all this credit for
- 4:33Speaker 1: having abandoned these positions. Let's leave aside the fact that
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know she's a weather vein if in fact she
- 4:42Speaker 1: has abandoned them and become something totally different. But the
- 4:45Speaker 1: La Times piece suggests Harris has long since jettisoned those
- 4:50Speaker 1: positions on healthcare, immigration and fracking. She abandoned her stance
- 4:54Speaker 1: on jailhouse balloting. But the fact is we don't hear
- 4:57Speaker 1: that as you may. In fact, when she center which
- 5:01Speaker 1: is probably the smart thing to do for a general election,
- 5:04Speaker 1: she does it through these aids, some of them already
- 5:07Speaker 1: even named or given anonymity. And when she texts to
- 5:11Speaker 1: the left, she proudly does it herself. I would suggested
- 5:14Speaker 1: that tells us something about her. This La Times piece
- 5:17Speaker 1: also suggests that she's just like a center left lady.
- 5:22Speaker 1: And you know, she allowed the politics of twenty twenty
- 5:25Speaker 1: to sort of subsume her and get her into this
- 5:28Speaker 1: tactical position she shouldn't have been in. She's not center left.
- 5:33Speaker 1: She needs a California Democrat running slightly center to totally
- 5:39Speaker 1: insane California policies occasionally does not make you center left.
- 5:43Speaker 1: That's not a lauderate place.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And again, are we crazy for wanting a presidential nominee
- 5:49Speaker 2: to tell us what she believes? You know, during the debate,
- 5:53Speaker 2: which I thought was a travesty, I tweeted repeatedly about
- 5:56Speaker 2: the unprofessionalism and the general incompetency of the debate minderators,
- 6:00Speaker 2: and my friend Robert George responded, the moderators are not
- 6:04Speaker 2: the problem. But I have to disagree. I get that
- 6:08Speaker 2: people watch debates as sports. Guilty, I do that definitely. Also,
- 6:13Speaker 2: who can land more blows? Who will be the victor?
- 6:15Speaker 2: But again in an election season where one of the
- 6:18Speaker 2: candidates skip the primary process and has answered hardly any
- 6:22Speaker 2: questions at all, this was a rare moment for the
- 6:26Speaker 2: country to hear from Kamala Harris about what she believes.
- 6:29Speaker 2: That is, what she still believes. We really have no
- 6:32Speaker 2: actual idea now. Stephanie Ruhl was on Bill maher explaining
- 6:37Speaker 2: why that's okay that Kamala Harris isn't giving interviews and
- 6:41Speaker 2: we're wild and crazy for even thinking she should.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Let's roll the clip is we don't know her answer
- 6:46Speaker 3: to anything, okay, answer to everything, and that's why I
- 6:51Speaker 3: would never vote for him, and people should.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Vote for him.
- 6:53Speaker 3: But people also are expected to have some idea of
- 6:57Speaker 3: what the program is of the person you're suppose to
- 7:00Speaker 3: vote for. You're just not supposed to say, well, you
- 7:02Speaker 3: have to vote for why because X is this, that
- 7:04Speaker 3: and the other. Let's find out a little bit more.
- 7:07Speaker 3: And I don't think it's a lot to ask her
- 7:08Speaker 3: to sit down for a real interview as opposed to
- 7:11Speaker 3: a puff piece in which she describes her feelings of
- 7:15Speaker 3: growing up and operated nice laws.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Then I would just say to that, when you moved
- 7:20Speaker 2: to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker's number and
- 7:23Speaker 2: I'll be your nextural naghbor.
- 7:24Speaker 1: We don't live there. It's so funny to be a
- 7:30Speaker 1: network host who is against people in power doing probing interviews.
- 7:34Speaker 1: And that is that I don't know far that you got.
- 7:37Speaker 2: I didn't want the interview right. Why wouldn't she say,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I think you're one hundred percent right, and I want
- 7:42Speaker 2: to interview Kamala.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Harris because she's afraid of handicapping Kamala Harris. That's what
- 7:48Speaker 1: it is. Her allegiance to her side politically, which is
- 7:53Speaker 1: the left, does not allow her to give a tough
- 7:57Speaker 1: interview to Kamala Harris because that would endanger the cause.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Journalists against interviews is such an amazing thing we've come
- 8:07Speaker 1: to and I must say there are plenty of my
- 8:10Speaker 1: preferred candidates who don't always perform well in interviews. But
- 8:14Speaker 1: I don't think they should stop doing interviews, right.
- 8:17Speaker 2: I don't want to hide them.
- 8:18Speaker 1: No, they need to answer questions. People need to see
- 8:21Speaker 1: them perform, and should they fall because of their performances,
- 8:25Speaker 1: That's the game we're playing, That's right.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Last media clip on this or not a clip, but
- 8:31Speaker 2: I'm going to read the Michelle Goldberg of The New
- 8:33Speaker 2: York Times was on Leandrew Sullivan podcast saying, well, Kamala
- 8:38Speaker 2: was triangulating back in twenty nineteen when she ran. Was
- 8:42Speaker 2: she though? Because triangulation is the term associated with Bill Clinton,
- 8:46Speaker 2: it largely means to be non partisan, support the issues
- 8:50Speaker 2: as you see them. But that's not what Kamala did.
- 8:52Speaker 2: She embraced all of the super far left positions of
- 8:55Speaker 2: the moment. I think your point, MK, is so good
- 8:58Speaker 2: about the fact that when she goes left, she tells us,
- 9:01Speaker 2: but when she goes center, somebody else tells us that.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what's crazy about the twenty twenty thing, too,
- 9:09Speaker 1: is that this is incredible double standard, which is that
- 9:13Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, Kamala Herricks could say without much problem,
- 9:19Speaker 1: that she was going to bail out all these people
- 9:22Speaker 1: rioting in Minneapolis, that police should be defunded, that there
- 9:28Speaker 1: should be health care for illegal immigrants up to and
- 9:30Speaker 1: including transitions here, surgeries, just wild things coming out of
- 9:36Speaker 1: their mouths, all private healthcare gone. You and I were like,
- 9:40Speaker 1: maybe we should open schools, and they were like, that's
- 9:45Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah, that's the crazy thing. And that's why
- 9:50Speaker 1: we're making this podcast, because sometimes weird becomes normal and
- 9:54Speaker 1: normal becomes weird. One last thing on this point is
- 9:57Speaker 1: that at this point their campaign, Harrison Walls have managed
- 10:03Speaker 1: to divorce themselves from their own positions, their own records,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and in fact, the current Democratic administration of the United
- 10:13Speaker 1: States of America under Biden Harris. That Walls is saying
- 10:17Speaker 1: this on the campaign trail, this is something else we
- 10:21Speaker 1: can't afford.
- 10:24Speaker 2: We can't afford four more years of this. He's right,
- 10:27Speaker 2: we cannot afford four more years of this.
- 10:30Speaker 1: It's too much. I mean, when you see that, you
- 10:33Speaker 1: understand why tactically it makes sense for them maybe not
- 10:36Speaker 1: to do a ton of interviews, but this is real
- 10:41Speaker 1: through the looking glass messaging. Yeah, and your party is
- 10:44Speaker 1: currently leading now now some of my liberal apologist friends
- 10:49Speaker 1: told me, but he's just referencing Donald Trump. Great, Donald
- 10:52Speaker 1: Trump's not in office.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Speaking of our absent president, there was a cabinet meeting
- 10:56Speaker 2: last week which he did not lead, which is so
- 11:00Speaker 2: who did lead?
- 11:01Speaker 1: It?
- 11:01Speaker 2: Was it his vice president Kamala Harris.
- 11:04Speaker 1: No, she was also not there. In fact, so the
- 11:08Speaker 1: president was there at the cabinet meeting. Everybody's called together.
- 11:11Speaker 1: It's the first time they've been called together in about
- 11:14Speaker 1: a year, maybe a little under a year, which a
- 11:16Speaker 1: lot of caball meetings and I which a lot of people,
- 11:18Speaker 1: given the condition of the current president, have wondered, Okay,
- 11:23Speaker 1: well who is running things? And by a lot of people,
- 11:27Speaker 1: I mean us, not certainly not the press, no press corps.
- 11:31Speaker 1: But they gather finally after a year, and he's sitting
- 11:34Speaker 1: in the center of the table. But first Lady Jill
- 11:37Speaker 1: Biden is sitting at the head of the table. Doctor
- 11:40Speaker 1: dot excuse me, First lady, doctor Madam Jill Biden is
- 11:45Speaker 1: sitting at the head of the table, and he interros
- 11:47Speaker 1: her very generously, and she talks about her Women's health initiative.
- 11:52Speaker 1: What's striking about this is it's clear that the cabinet
- 11:55Speaker 1: meeting has been called for this, right.
- 12:00Speaker 2: I did not recall anybody voting for her, and.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I watched the entire c Span clip of it to see, Okay,
- 12:09Speaker 1: maybe I'm missing some context here, Perhaps this is not weird,
- 12:13Speaker 1: even though it seems weird. But no, he speaks for
- 12:16Speaker 1: a minute and a half ensuring her. She speaks for
- 12:19Speaker 1: another six to seven minutes about her initiative, and then
- 12:23Speaker 1: a couple reporters yell questions and then they usher everyone
- 12:26Speaker 1: out the door. So it's her for six of the minutes,
- 12:30Speaker 1: him for two. It's an eight minute clip. Now they
- 12:34Speaker 1: may have done other things. Yeah, but does the press
- 12:37Speaker 1: not have any questions about why this cabinet meeting is
- 12:44Speaker 1: finally called and this is the order of the day.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Yeah, let's roll that Jill Biden clip. I want to
- 12:50Speaker 2: hear what she had to say.
- 12:51Speaker 4: We need where the United States continues to be home
- 12:55Speaker 4: to the most cutting edge research in the world, where
- 13:00Speaker 4: everyone can lead healthier lives. Thank you.
- 13:09Speaker 2: So it's funny about the cabinet meeting because again, this
- 13:13Speaker 2: show is called normally, We're going to try to be normal.
- 13:15Speaker 2: But I have to say that it fueled a lot
- 13:17Speaker 2: of conspiracy theories. It fueled definitely the idea that Joe
- 13:22Speaker 2: Biden is just a figurehead. It fueled the idea that
- 13:25Speaker 2: perhaps the October surprise will be swapping out Biden for
- 13:29Speaker 2: Kamala because he's clearly not in charge anymore. What do
- 13:34Speaker 2: you think of that?
- 13:36Speaker 4: So?
- 13:36Speaker 1: I've actually thought from the beginning post debate, when everyone
- 13:40Speaker 1: finally admitted that Biden wasn't really up to the task here,
- 13:45Speaker 1: that the constitutionally and morally correct thing to do is
- 13:48Speaker 1: to allow for Kamala Harris to do the job, because
- 13:51Speaker 1: I don't think he's doing it. We have a process
- 13:54Speaker 1: in place whereby you give that power away if you
- 13:57Speaker 1: can't do the job. Given that information, I'm arguing against
- 14:02Speaker 1: interest because I think it would probably helper be elected.
- 14:04Speaker 1: But yeah, but it matters. And if we were in
- 14:08Speaker 1: a position where the president was very clearly at the helm,
- 14:12Speaker 1: it wouldn't bother me. If a first lady's talking for
- 14:14Speaker 1: a few minutes, right, we have a very different situation.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Yes, yes, if he was normal and fine and everything
- 14:20Speaker 2: was okay, sure give you a little speech.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Why not not in this situation and the lack of
- 14:27Speaker 5: curiosity again with the press is an issue here because
- 14:31Speaker 5: it is their job to dig into what is happening,
- 14:34Speaker 5: and we are going to hear.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Some appalling stories, perhaps in David Lanhard's New York catch
- 14:41Speaker 1: Up in about a year and a half, about what
- 14:44Speaker 1: went down behind the scenes, and normally you'd want to
- 14:48Speaker 1: hear that while it was happening, because it's important to
- 14:50Speaker 1: the American people.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Right, nobody's gonna have a problem with the fact that
- 14:53Speaker 2: there's going to be tons of books out about this
- 14:55Speaker 2: time at the White House. And the thing that everybody's
- 14:58Speaker 2: going to say to let us know that they're important
- 15:00Speaker 2: is everybody knew. Everybody knew. Everybody knew, not you, not
- 15:05Speaker 2: the media, but everybody knew.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Things everyone knows. We should probably be reporting so that
- 15:10Speaker 1: everyone actually knows them on paper.
- 15:12Speaker 2: That would be good, right. I feel like I really
- 15:14Speaker 2: I recall just a lot of like Harvey Weinstein, everybody knew,
- 15:18Speaker 2: Like if everybody knew, why didn't anybody say anything?
- 15:21Speaker 1: Yeah, we should get everything everybody knew out in the
- 15:24Speaker 1: open more quickly? Shall we move on to Yes we
- 15:28Speaker 1: are still mad? Bro? Yes?
- 15:30Speaker 2: The final segment, We're going to try to do this
- 15:32Speaker 2: every week. Things that we're still angry about that no
- 15:35Speaker 2: one else seems to care about anymore.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Yep. So these are the ones that kind of go
- 15:40Speaker 1: by the wayside in the media cycle but are still
- 15:44Speaker 1: having very serious consequences for people. And one of those
- 15:47Speaker 1: in particular is COVID policies, COVID era policies that I
- 15:53Speaker 1: understand people want to forget about, but I think it's
- 15:56Speaker 1: important to hold people accountable for. And in this case,
- 15:59Speaker 1: there's a New York City COVID zar who is admitted
- 16:04Speaker 1: on a sort of covertly taken video while he was
- 16:07Speaker 1: set up on what he thought was a date, and
- 16:10Speaker 1: he admits to hosting two countum two sex parties in
- 16:18Speaker 1: the year twoenty twenty one, I believe in the summer
- 16:23Speaker 1: fall August and one in the winter. If you'll remember,
- 16:27Speaker 1: we weren't allowed to go to a restaurant at that time,
- 16:31Speaker 1: but the guy who was enforcing that messaging in New
- 16:34Speaker 1: York City, the epicenter, decided that he should host orgies.
- 16:40Speaker 1: And a little bit of content warning on this particular story,
- 16:44Speaker 1: but that's appalling.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Yeah, Doctor J. Varma, he was former Senior Advisor for
- 16:51Speaker 2: Public Health to the New York City Mayor's office, and
- 16:55Speaker 2: he was one was in fall twenty twenty one. Was
- 16:58Speaker 2: in winter twenty one. I was in New York during
- 17:00Speaker 2: that time. Restaurants were closed for indoor dining with this
- 17:04Speaker 2: guy is having drug fueled orgies with strangers, and he's
- 17:09Speaker 2: the guy who is giving us direction on what we
- 17:13Speaker 2: should be doing to stay safe. Mary Catherine, if only
- 17:16Speaker 2: you and I had written a thousand articles about let
- 17:19Speaker 2: us have all the sex orgies, yes see.
- 17:23Speaker 1: That would have been normal. The going to school very strange,
- 17:29Speaker 1: very sindiary. I enjoyed an Atlantic piece on this entitled
- 17:34Speaker 1: public health officials should have been talking about their sex parties?
- 17:39Speaker 1: Yeah the whole time. This is by Kristen Brown, and
- 17:42Speaker 1: it won't surprise you that the important thing about this,
- 17:45Speaker 1: the revealed truth here, is that we should have we
- 17:50Speaker 1: should have empathy for him.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Yeah, herd guy, he needs his sex parties.
- 17:55Speaker 1: He needed his sex parties. And it's funny because she
- 17:58Speaker 1: stumbles on the truth in here, because she she points
- 18:01Speaker 1: out what we were saying at the time, which is
- 18:04Speaker 1: that social science research tells us that public health messaging
- 18:07Speaker 1: wins trust most effect effectively when it leads with empathy,
- 18:11Speaker 1: when leaders show that they understand how people feel and
- 18:14Speaker 1: what they want, rather than barraging them with rules and facts.
- 18:18Speaker 1: You'll notice we got the exact opposite of that at
- 18:22Speaker 1: almost every turn during COVID. There was no cost benefit analysis.
- 18:26Speaker 1: There was no weighing of what really mattered in life
- 18:29Speaker 1: and how much these rules were going to help you.
- 18:32Speaker 1: As one of our friends Fetasy noted on Twitter, people
- 18:36Speaker 1: died alone. Yeah, while this man was hosting parties.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Right and died alone because of his advice. That's, you know,
- 18:45Speaker 2: the craziest part here. And I think the rewrite of
- 18:48Speaker 2: what happened. You know, a lot of the comments on
- 18:50Speaker 2: Twitter were, first of all, why do you care about
- 18:53Speaker 2: something that happened four years ago? Because I don't care
- 18:56Speaker 2: what this guy does now. We could have all the
- 18:57Speaker 2: drug fueled orgies he wants. It was that he having
- 19:00Speaker 2: those drug fueled orgies while my kids could not go
- 19:03Speaker 2: to school. And so one of the comments was also like,
- 19:06Speaker 2: well it was twenty twenty one. Everything was open, Like
- 19:09Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. My kids were eating on the ground
- 19:12Speaker 2: outside in New York City at their public school, sitting
- 19:15Speaker 2: on the ground having to mask up in between bites.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Was he masking up at these parties? Was he masking
- 19:21Speaker 2: up between bites. Mary Catherine, you.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Know, I gotta say that The Atlantic does a heroic
- 19:26Speaker 1: job trying to sort of describe his sex parties as
- 19:29Speaker 1: possibly within the bounds of public health, which is an
- 19:31Speaker 1: amazing thing. They were very safe sex parties. They were
- 19:35Speaker 1: testing before they went to them. So obviously that's very
- 19:38Speaker 1: different from your children eating lunch at school and is
- 19:41Speaker 1: totally fine. But it ends with that. You know, he
- 19:44Speaker 1: should have been talking about this because the end result
- 19:47Speaker 1: may seem hypocritical. Carec may it may, yes, but it's
- 19:51Speaker 1: also relatable. It is relatable, except he was the one
- 19:57Speaker 1: using and advocating for using police power agains the rest
- 20:00Speaker 1: of us having barbecues. Okay, so that's the problem.
- 20:03Speaker 2: He also did admit in that undercover video that it
- 20:07Speaker 2: was the teachers' unions keeping the kids out of school,
- 20:10Speaker 2: and the Dublasio wanted the kids back in school, but
- 20:13Speaker 2: just was afraid of the teachers' unions, which I'm glad
- 20:16Speaker 2: he said that. Obviously, you and I knew that was true.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Most people know it's true if they are honest. Randy
- 20:23Speaker 2: Weingarten continues to want to be the hero of the pandemic.
- 20:27Speaker 2: When she was one of the key villains. He admits
- 20:29Speaker 2: that basically. But you know, as I said the whole time,
- 20:33Speaker 2: it wasn't that the unions were so strong, it's that
- 20:35Speaker 2: these politicians were so weak. Bills Ablasio was in his
- 20:39Speaker 2: second term.
- 20:40Speaker 1: What was he doing.
- 20:41Speaker 2: He was going to run for the point in zero
- 20:43Speaker 2: one percent chance of being president, and that's why he
- 20:45Speaker 2: needed to keep the unions on his side. Pathetic.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Yeah, No, we needed we needed leaders, and we needed
- 20:51Speaker 1: brave leaders, and we did not get them for the
- 20:54Speaker 1: most part. Well we did, and we got people doing
- 20:56Speaker 1: that behind the scenes while they were telling us not
- 20:57Speaker 1: to go to a restaurant. So that's right. And the
- 21:01Speaker 1: other thing is people say, why do you still care
- 21:02Speaker 1: about something from twenty twenty twenty twenty one, because this
- 21:06Speaker 1: guy shouldn't be anywhere near public health in this hue, right,
- 21:09Speaker 1: So keep your eyes open for when he gets another
- 21:11Speaker 1: gig telling you what to do.

- 21:17Speaker 2: will be back on Thursday. Please tune in, Please subscribe,
