CNN demands any member of congress who questions PELOSI'S MANDATE BE KICKED OUT OF CONGRESS! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

  Speaker 1: Do as I say, not as I do. On full
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: display again by Democrats. You're demanding that you not only
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: get vaccinated, but you also wear that mask. And we're
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: going to force your kids to wear that mask as well.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: The FEDS want your school kids to be masks until
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: everyone gets a vaccine around them, including their parents. The
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: NIH boss Francis Collins, had this to say about your
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: kids and masking. If Delta is as contagious as we
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: now know it is, and we want to try to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: put an end to what is a very significant uptick
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: right now, Wearing masks if you're under twelve and can't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: be vaccinated when you're in school is a really smart
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: thing to do. And I know it's tiresome and kids
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and their parents are sick of it. Yeah, I know
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you're sick of it, but you got to do it now.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: This comes after DC's mayor has come out and she's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: angry that people aren't getting masks. That's right, the DC
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: mayor has come out saying we got to do these
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: masks mandates again. Right, that's we're gonna We're gonna do
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: what they're doing, you know out there in the Capitol. Right,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna mandate this stuff again. So the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: DC mayor says this and then immediately she goes maskless.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: That's right, the DC Mayor Bowser, you know, the same
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: woman that allowed for the historic church to be burned
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: across the street from the White House. The same woman
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: who has renamed the square Black Lives Matter Square and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: has defunded the police. She came out and was angry
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: about people not wearing their masks. Angry. Former Argas Governor
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Mike hu Coulby slammed the DC Mayor Bowser for going
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: maskless at a weekend wedding despite her new mask mandate.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And that's the problem. It's, as Steve mentioned a moment ago,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: rules for thee but not for me. They've all been
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to Gavin's garden of gas bad government out in California.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: He was the first to really just show what hypocrisy
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: rule among some of these left wing politicians who want
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to impose standards for other people. Remember, he famously went
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: out to the French Laundry restaurant during the time that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he had closed all the restaurants down, told everybody to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: wear a mask, not go anywhere. He took his mask
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: off partied hard with some lobbyists at the French laundry.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, I was just in California last week.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I think the voters are going to send him to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the cleaners. And Muriel Palliser is another example of asking
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: others to do what she's unwilling to do, and rule
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: one of leadership, never ask others to do what you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: unwilling to do. Governor Hunt can be, by the way,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: absolutely right slamming the DC mayor just hours after she
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: dated her masks and mandate. She is out there at
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a wedding. Somebody at that wedding took her picture of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: her not wearing a mask for an extended period of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: time in a closed environment, sitting at a table with
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: other individuals. But you're supposed to follow and do exactly
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: what they tell you're supposed to do. And if you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: think that's not enough to get your attention, Governor Cuomo
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: now has come out telling private businesses it's time for
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you to go vaccine only, and anyone that's not vaccine
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: don't let them in your business. Private businesses, I am
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: asking them and suggesting to them go to vaccine only admission,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Go to vaccine only admission. We did this. Radio City
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Music Hall months ago reopened vaccine only, sold out all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the shows, sports arenas. They went up to about ninety
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: vaccine only private businesses, bars, restaurants go to a vaccine
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: only admission. I believe it's in your best business interest. Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: so that and of course that you should do it,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: because I believes the governor that this is in your
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: best interest to do this. Schools need to reopen. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: harm we're doing to our children as just immense. Another
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: said today on TV, but you got to put the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: mask on if we're gonna do it. Yes, put the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: mask on, and then it will work to your advantage. Now,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: if you want to know if Democrats are going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: follow their own rules, I just gave you two examples
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of them. Not let me give you another one. You
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: know that guy, former president of the United States of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: America who could really do a lot of outreach the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: minority community who are not getting vaccinated, to have very
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: low vaccination numbers, a guy by the name of Barack Obama,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Michelle Obama. You would think, right, they would just go
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: out there and they would help out a little bit, right,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: help out. Guess what they're doing They've decided they're gonna
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: have a big birthday bash. Forget the rules. Barack Obama
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: is planning a monster sixtieth birthday bash at Martha's Vineyard
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for our present, set aside ongoing concerns over large events
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: during the coronavirus pandemic to push ahead with plans to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: throw a massive outdoor party on Martha's Vineyard to Massachusetts
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: next weekend to mark his sixtieth birthday. Sources have said
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that hundreds of guests are expected to be an attendant
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Saturday to fill Obama's nearly thirty acres of state. All
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: will be asked to be vaccinated, while a COVID coordinator
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: will be on hand to make sure protocols are followed
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: quote for invitees. A source also said negative coronavirus tests
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are required for every guest, but didn't get details on
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just how that would be policed. It's going to be big,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: one source told The Hill. The size of the party
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: has raised concerns as the Delta coronavirus variant continues to squirrel,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: particularly due to the recent breakthrough cases in a nearby
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: area by Martha's Vineyard, Provincetown. Their breakthrough cases actually helped
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: shape the Centers for Disease Control MASK guidance. The party
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was first mooted last month, but now looks to be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: firmly going ahead with it, whether there's a threat of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: delta or not. Because remember, you get to do what
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you want to do when you're in charge as a Democrat,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and you have to shut up if you're one of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the peons. And we'll even tell you how to run
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: your business. I laugh, because the Obama example is just
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the perfect one. We're now being told more than seven
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: hundred attendees will show up for the sixtieth birthday. Now,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: none of the people lecturing you about masks and we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all in this together and lockdowns have to make a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: single adjustment to their lives. None of them are taking
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: their own advice. This pandemamic clearly has a group of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: individuals that are the halves, right, these people like Obama,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and they're seven hundred friends and the have nots, the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: average peons in America. Here's the thing, right, she wasn't actually,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as far as we know, violating the new rules, correct.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think that is fair to say, But I think
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it might also be about is she violating the spirit
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of it? I don't know, what do you think. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: get it. Well, you know, it's hard for me to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: remember what we're all supposed to be angry about, because
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago we were criticizing politicians for
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: wearing masks still where the science was telling them, oh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they didn't need to be you know, we kept on
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: asking the White House, why is Joe Biden still wearing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a mask when the mask guidance, you know, has changed,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And now of course we're saying she should be wearing
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a mask even though she was still following the guidance. Look,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I get it. If you're a politician, you don't want
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a picture that raises questions. That's bad politics. The question
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is whether or not she did anything functionally policy wise wrong,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. I mean, I guess it really
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: depends on if she was eating or drinking at the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: time she was photographed not wearing a mask. Yeah, I mean,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I look at the photo and I see it seems
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like it could be during the toast, right, everyone's heads
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are pointed in a certain direction. It seems like maybe
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they are listening to someone, is what it appears to me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I do wonder for a politician like Mayor Bowser, if
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it's just better to you know, air on the side
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of being conservative when it comes to mask use, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: considering her constituency here in DC, and that you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: DC actually is qualifying as a bit of a hotspot.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Right now, I get of an accelerated caseload. I get it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I love this. They're like, well, maybe it was the toast.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe she technically didn't violate her own order. Maybe it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was just a moment when the pictures taken, when they
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: were when they were doing X, Y or Z. Now,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: if you think that CNN is the only one that's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: out there right now attacking conservatives with mass mandates and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: defending Democrats who aren't wearing masks, no, you're wrong. MSNBC said,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: forget all the mass stuff. We're going to take it
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a step further. We want to get rid of all
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: states rights in this country. In fact, MSNBC had an
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: entire conversation about Florida governor saying no to mass mandates
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and said parents can choose. And now they're saying De
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Santis is trying to kill children, and we should take
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: away local rights, city rights, states rights, and Joe Biden
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: should do it. So Ronda Santis Johnathan Lemier with this,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: especially this latest move on masking, I just wonder can
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the White House do anything to overrule a governor when
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he does something incredibly stupid and dangerous for his people.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Rondas sant Ronda Santis, as far as I can tell,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem stupid. So this seems politically motivated. Yet the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: children of Florida are the ones who are going to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: be in danger if schools aren't allowed to make choices
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: about what's going on in their communities and if there
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: is a COVID outbreak asking the children to wear masks. Well,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: certainly the twenty twenty four Republican politics or the backdraft
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to all of this. As Dave just said, I mean
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the White House expect them to be critical of physician.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: There's a limit to what they can do, you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: since the beginning of this pandemic. We learned this when
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: President Trump back in Martyr last spring. You know, it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was very deferential to the governors and the states. There
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: there's not so much they can do from the federal
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: level on things like this, outside of say federal property
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: or things like airports, things like that. But in terms
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of Florida schools. No, their hands are largely tied, despite
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that they will message that that, of course
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: children should be wearing masks. The White House has throughout
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: this pandemic since the Biden has taken overs, really defer
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to the CDC. Those are the CDC guidelines. That's what
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they would want them to do. And you're right, De Santis,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: like he is someone who has said he's encouraged people
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to take the vaccine, he hasn't perhaps done it as
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: strongly as we've heard from some of his other counterparts.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of Republicans in recent weeks have
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: really been out there saying to do so. To Santas. Also,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we should know we heard from President Biden last week
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about some of his plans to get people more people
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to take the vaccines. One of them was to have
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: state and local officials give one hundred dollars to people
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to get those shots. To Santa says he won't do that,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that Florida is not going to be involved in that program,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: even though other states might. But this, by the way,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you notice what the media is doing here. They're hoping
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that governor to Santists after being right on lockdowns, after
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: being right on freedom, after being right on having a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: state that was opened up, after being right on all
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of these basic freedoms in his state. They are begging
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and hoping and praying that there will be a significant
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: number of people that get infected. They're hoping there will
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: be an outbreak within the schools. They're hoping that all
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of this will happen so then they can attack Governor
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to santists, ruin his chances of ever having a shout
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: at running it for the White House, and destroy him
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: as a Republican leader that has been consistently siding on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the side of freedom over governor government tyranny and total
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: control over your life. That is what they are hoping for.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And you can hear it and how angry they are,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you know, referring to him, how stupid he is, you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: saying get rid of states rights, get rid of local rights.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Doesn't Joe Biden need to just step in here and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: say no, governor standards, you can't do this. Governor a Florida.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The headline says, block school mass mandates as parents can choose.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Isn't that freedom? Shouldn't parents be able to choose? Oh no, no,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: we're the media, we need to tell you what you've
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: got to do in every state in America. This is
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: certainly underscoring the great level of concern right now across
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the country. As much as the White House is heartened
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: by the increased level of vaccinations, we're seeing a lot
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of these states that are being hit hard. They've got
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a long way to go. These cases are surging, hospitals
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: are filling up, and this is suddenly COVID of course
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is refocus as the number one priority for this White
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: House right now, But their hands are tied to what
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: they can do for the state of Florida. Yeah, they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: really are. I mean this is love this. Yeah, they
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: really are tied. They're tied down there. You might want
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to move. You might want to leave the state. They're
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: trying to kill you down there, right, You really might
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: want to move and lead because they're just they're probably
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: going to murder you down there because you're idiot, Governor.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: This is the same media that didn't even hold Governor
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Cuomo accountable for actually killing seniors with as rules, changing
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the numbers, lying about the numbers under criminal investigation. This
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is the same MSNBC that was totally fine with all
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that and you know, they're like, Wow, their hands are
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: really tied. Good luck Florida. You guys are probably gonna
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: die as are tied to what they can do for
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the state of Florida. Yeah, they really are. I mean,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this is a stretch day of Ehrenberg. But if you're
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a parent in Florida and you actually don't depend on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Facebook for your news, then they start mocking the right.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Just want to make sure you knew who public enemy
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: number one is down there, right, It's conservatives. It's idiots
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: down there. It's it's the idiots conservative leaders down there. Yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: there you go. That's what it is. That's how they're
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: going to treat you and anybody that says no to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: their lockdowns that are clearly coming, and they're gonna and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: they're mandating the businesses lock you down. Did everybody gets
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: shut up? I mean, the NAH director is prudent to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: wear masks even if you're vaccinated. This is their new
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: line they pushed over the weekend as he went on
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: all the Sunday shows, the c NA director telling you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: now it is prudent to wear masks even if you're vaccinated.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: In America right now, it's having a pretty big party
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the country. Yeah. No, I hope
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that that's that's what's happening as well. I have to say,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: there's some confusion out there about the Biden administration and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: about the CDC's new guidance that vaccinated Americans need to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: again wear masks indoors in most of the country. Can
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you clear this up. Do most vaccinated Americans need to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: wear mask indoors in order to protect themselves and other
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: vaccinated Americans or is this primarily about protecting unvaccinated Americans,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: including children under twelve or people who are refusing to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: get vaccinated. It's mostly about protecting the unvaccinated. That's where
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the real serious risks of illness are. If you're vaccinated
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: right now, your likelihood of getting severely sick is twenty
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: fivefold reduced. You gave some numbers right before this segment,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Jake about that the vaccines work extremely well. But the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: new news, and much of this comes from that outbreak
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, is that vaccinated people are capable
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of getting the virus in their nose and throat, and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they do seem to have high enough levels of virus
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that they might be contagious, and hence the reason. If
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you're in a community where this virus is spreading, which
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: is about seventy five percent of counties right now, it
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: is prudent to put on a mask, even if you're vaccinated,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: just in case you might be somebody who's currently spreading
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it and you don't want to do that to kids
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: under twelve or to some of those other folks who
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: remain unvaccinated. It's just good common sense. I know it
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: is confused everybody because it's a change in direction. But
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: if we can step aside from all of the political
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: assumptions which really don't fit here, and look at the data,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that's the data. That's the data. So just listen to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: what we're telling you. I know we've been telling you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: one thing completely opposite the entire time. I know we've
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: been contradicting ourselves. I know that you know, the president,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: former President United States America, can have seven hundred of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: his closest friends, over seven hundred of his closest friends
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: over to hanging out for his big sixtieth birthday party.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I know that the DC mayor can go to a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: wedding this weekend after telling you to mask up and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: cannot wear a mask. But we can explain that away
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: because maybe it was the toast. So you just take
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that mask off. I know we've been all over the place,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: but it's really just common sense. Even if you're vaccinated,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: put the mask back on, wear that mask. You just
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: need to do it, folks, You just need to do it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It's patriotic to do it. Patriotism. Remember, it's all about
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: protecting your fellow man, your kids. You are not how
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: crazy this whole thing's gotten. Look right now at what
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: they're saying in Australia, for example, in Australia right now,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: they actually put out new guidance, and their new guidance
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that they put out literally said parents need to keep
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: distance from their own children and also wear a mask.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Did you hear me? Parents need to keep distance from
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: their own children. That's in Australia now. At least I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: will give a little bit of credit to one person
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: in the media. ABC actually had one of their commentators
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: talking about Biden's mass mandates saying, all of this is
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: just weird where you need national unity or some consensus
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: about what kind of signs, what kind of signals you're
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: going to follow, and you really have the opposite. And look,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you can blame the virus for being confusing and for adjusting,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: but at this stage, you don't have a reservoir of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: goodwill that the Biden administration has been able to build up.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Because there's been conflicting information, there's been conflicting advice, the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: science has been changing. We don't know what zone we're
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: living in or what the mandate's going to be for
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: indoors versus outdoors. Vaccinated unvaccinated. People want their lives back,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and Joe Biden told us just a few weeks ago,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: told the American people that we were about there, we
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: were getting our lives back. Now we're seeing this backslide.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We're seeing his advice adjusting, and it is confusing. You think,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they even care how confusing it is.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I really don't. But you look at ABC News and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: at least their political director, they're talking about the politics
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of this, talking and explaining about how confusing this actually is.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: You know, this administration's latest mass mandate, it's madness. It
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: is not rooted in logic. Ben Shapiro was on Fox
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: News talking about that, and he explained it brilliantly when
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: he said, it is madness, and it's not rooted in
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: anything resembling logic or data. And the simple fact of
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the matter is that, as you mentioned, Jesse, if you
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: have had the vaccine, you're essentially safe from this virus.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't had the vaccine, at this point,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: it's been out there for months, you've had every ability
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to get it. You can get it today if you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: want it, but you are a rational adult. You can
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: make your own risk assessment. And now that whatever happens
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: is on you. The notion that we have to mask
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: up everybody who's vaccinated to protect the unvaccinated, or that
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: whatever Joe Biden says about masking is going to be
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: effective anyway across the country is acinine on its face.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Beyond that, the undermining of confidence in the vaccine is
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the big takeaway, I think for a lot of Americans
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: who are sort of on the fence. If you go
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: out there and you keep saying over and over and over,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the people who are vaccinated are still transmitting, people who
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: are vaccinated are still creating risk. A lot of people
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: out there are going to say to themselves their big
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: takeaway is the vaccine is not working. The way that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you said it was working, which of course is not true.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: The vaccines are working, they are working to prevent hospitalization,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they're working to prevent death. But at a certain point
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you have to say to the American people, you're on
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: your own now, you go back to regular The movement
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of the goal post here's been astonishing. At the beginning,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it was two weeks to slow the spread, don't overwom
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the hospital system, so we did that. Then it was
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wait until the vaccines are available, Then we did that,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and then it was wait until all adults have had
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to get the vaccine, and we did that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: So what are the goalposts now other than something that
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: is utterly impossible zero COVID? And yet that's what the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Democrats and the White House seemed to be focused in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: on Tritas, He's right by the way they keep moving
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the goalposts. So what is success? What is failure? Or
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: is it just total control over our lives everywhere we go?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Which goes back to exactly what this pan on ABC
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: this week was saying when they talked about the House
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: mass mandates facing an all out civil disobedience and there's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: quote no reservoir of goodwill made by the Biden administration.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Respect Well, there's something binary going on in Congress. I mean,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the Republicans are not in the House. I mean, you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: have basically all out civil disobedience, it seems in terms
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of the requirement for a mask in the House. I mean,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: by the way that the Jonathan Kleiner's saying this right now,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: he's right, and the Republicans in the House are clearly
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: making an example, as they should, for what we should
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: be doing. What civil disobedience looks like. When Nancy Pelosi
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: ordered that members of Congress be arrested for not wearing
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a mask, Republicans said, watch this, We're not going to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: do it. We're not It's civil disobedience and we should
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: all be doing this. And that's the point that he's making.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Basically all out civil disobedience, it seems in terms of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the requirement for a mask in the House. I mean,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: how Nancy Pelosi going to enforce this? I mean it's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for her. And I think
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that you know, Republicans, some of them at this point
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: are just saying they're gonna they're gonna pay the fine,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: or they're trying to find out a way to keep
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: from being fine because you know Pelosi, Speaker Pelosi has
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: tried to sort of double down on these mask mandates
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: by saying, Okay, if you're not following the rules, you
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: know you could you could face some of your salary
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: being cut. But I mean things right now in the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: House are just totally ugly, not only over this issue,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: but also you know, when it comes to the January
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: sixth panel, I mean, you had Pelosi calling Kevin McCarthy
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a Moore on this week. You had Kevin McCarthy saying
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: something yesterday about how when he gets the gabble to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: be speaker, you know he'll try not to hit her
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with it, which is just incredibly insane. The type of
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: rhetoric we're saying right now, things are really really heated.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it does it's been bad. I remember get
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Part at one point making the joke that when he
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: handed the gabble to Ginglish that he thought of using it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But I think it was a joke. But I mean, Rick,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: it's it is unbelievable. I mean, the Congress actually seems
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: maybe even more divided well, and this is a time
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: where you need national unity or some consensus about what
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: kind of signs, what kind of signals you're going to follow,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and you really have the opposite. And look, you can
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: blame the virus for being confusing and for adjusting, but
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: at this stage you don't have a reservoir of goodwill
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that the Biden administration has been able to build up
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: because there's been conflicting information, there's been conflicting advice, the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: science has been changing. We don't know what zone we're
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: living in or what the mandate's going to be for
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: indoors versus outdoors. Vaccinated unvaccinated. People want their lives back,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and Joe Biden told us just a few weeks ago,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: told the American people that we were about there, we
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: were getting our lives back. Now we're seeing this backslide.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: We're seeing his advice adjusting, and it is confusing. And
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I think on the other side, when you get to
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the politics, it's become a cultural touchstone. When you have
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: people like Rohnda Santists raising money off of anti fauci imagery.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Don't fauci my Florida is what the T shirts and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the couzies say right now. And you have Republicans who
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: are in an outright open defiance of what the federal
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: government is telling you. You have a major clash, and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a clash that has public health consequences, not just for
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: people who are unvaccinated, but for people who are vulnerable.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: The way that doctor Fauci outlined it today, everyone's health
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: is at risk. But I love by the way they
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: end that there, right like, well, you know you've got
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a real problem here because you've got Republicans are just
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: saying no, and you've got you know, De Santists raising
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: money off don't founce you my Florida. I agree with
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: by the way what De Santists is doing. I mean,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: who doesn't. If you live in Florida, do you want
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it to become New York? Do you want the rules
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to look like New York? I would not want them
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to look that way. I think most of people in
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Florida say, you can keep your rules in New York
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and DC out of my state. We don't want any
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of them, right. I mean that's if you if you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: really want to get down to it. Governor De Santists
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: has got it right now. Cases are rising, and they
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: left is hoping that all these people die. I mean,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: we can see that. It's very clear. That's what they
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: want to happen. They want it to become a disaster.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: They can say, aha, see we told you so, haha,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: we warned you. Haha, we said you need to listen
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to us, and you didn't. You should have shut everything
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: out down, You should have had the mask mandates, you
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: should have done everything that we told you to do. Right,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: That's what they were hoping for. That's what they want.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: They want it to be that in your face. These
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Republicans that are defying what Nancy Pelosi did in civil disobedience,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: good when she starts threatening to arrest people members of
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Congress not wearing a mask, even if they've been vaccinated. Good.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I would argue this as a blueprint for what we
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: need to be thinking about moving forward. There are a
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: lot of people that have been vaccinated. This idea I
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: need to wear a mask in my house or around
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: my kids. If I believe that I'm threatening my kids
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: safety and security, then as an individual, I'll deal with that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: But this idea that I must do what they tell
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: me to do or I am public enemy number one. No,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: this idea that I got to shut down my busines,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: this is again because they tell me to no that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not doing it. I'm just never going
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to comply the way that I did the first go around.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And I think most Americans feel the exact same way.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You know, people are starting to get angry at Joe
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Biden's incompetence. They're starting to get angry at people like
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the mayor in DC. I think what you're going to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: see out in California and the recall election there is
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: they're going to get rid of their governor over what
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: he did to their economy. And remember what they're advocating
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: right now for to happen all over the country is
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: exactly what they advocated for. They want Florida to become California.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: They believe that the entire nation should do what California
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and what Michigan and what New York did. They want
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: there to be total locked ouns. Just listen to what
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: CNN had to say about members of Congress, for example,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that even question the mass mandates of Nancy Pelosi. They
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: actually say, you shouldn't even be allowed to be in
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Congress if you're the stupid to ask questions about the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: science behind the mass mandates. The other senator from Kentucky,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Rand Paul, who is tweeting, quote, No, the government doesn't
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: decide who gets vaccinated. You do do not submit to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the fearmongers. Kirsten, which message wins out here? Well, I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: don't know which message is going to win out, and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I think that it would have been helpful also if
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Republicans would have been putting this message out sooner than
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: they're putting it out. But what Mitch McConnell is saying,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: contrary to what Rampaul is alleging, is exactly what Rampau says,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you should do. You decide to get the vaccine. He's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: not saying that the government's forcing people to get the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: vac scene. Though if the government did force people to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: get the vaccine, that actually wouldn't be that big of
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: a deal because it happens already. All most of us
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: have been vaccinated with vaccines that are required when we
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: were children to go to school. People who have children
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: have to have vaccines to go to school. So this
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: is not a new thing. And I was listening to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the story before these accusations from the Republicans. They're just
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: so nonsensical, the idea that Democrats are somehow trying to
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: force them and control them to wear masks, like what's
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the master plan here that democrats walking while I'm wearing
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: masks so they can make you wear a mask, like
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: can we please use our heads here? This is not
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: this is nonsensical. And the members of Congress who are
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: saying the things that they're saying, like which is it?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Is it we wear a mask or we get vac
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to say, oh, I'm so confused. If you're that can
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: be used over what's happening. You shouldn't be in Congress
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: because you're not smart enough. Okay, you shouldn't be in
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Congress because you're not smart enough. So we'll just mock
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: your intelligence, tell you you're stupid. If you ask any
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: questions about the logic of what Fauci in the NIH
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: or anybody else says, we'll just mock the hell out
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: of you and say you're too stupid to be in Congress.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: This is how they're going to try to get control
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of all of us through mass mandates. If you question them,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: they will brate you, they will mock you, they will
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: attack you. That's what they're going to do, all right.
