As another mass shooting grabs headlines in Louisville. We examine whose really fuelling the rising gun violence decades of lies about marijuana are beginning to collapse and Joe Biden premises. Twenty twenty four. On as europe caves to china. I venture of Zeus: the bench Barroso This episode is brought to you, my good ranchers, free bacon, great meet a secure price, an extra twenty of my code, Ben had I'm good ranchers icon, use code ben for twenty bucks off your order, self and other awful mess shooting in Louisville Kentucky yesterday. It is like five dead and nine others injured. Accordingly, cnn, a twenty five year old bank employee, open fire at his workplace in downtown louisville kentucky on Monday morning. He lives dreamed the attack once more social media, doing a favour to all the world's worst people. It happen five deadened, eight others injured. authorities initially said that nine were injured in the attack. Five of those injured had gunshot wounds, a hospital spokesperson said, and
then originated. Forded later it became five that the mass shooting began old national bank on east main street, just after eight thirty am according to police. About thirty minutes before the bank opened for the public, there were some prominent people who are murmured in this particular mass shooting up We, the gunman, had said that he was going to be fired and then he said, heated to go online and pose a bunch of very weird stuff. Just before he went in and try to bring up. The media coverage has focused on the fact that this guy was some sort a varsity athlete back in college. They are ignoring what he actually posted that morning and again we don't mention in a mass shooters on this shop, but the things they posted the day of the shooting he posted means one was a meme from star wars. Last July of an driver saying I know what I have to do. Not only have the strength to do it and then the One was from office space should I could work this whole place down and then find the last one was they won't listen to work.
or protests, let's see if they hear this so very unclear what he meant by any of that halves. It's all a workplace violence incident- perhaps it's not perhaps their simple angle. We just don't know at this point. The kentucky governor any bashir He had some personal friends were murdered in this particular mastered here. He was. This is often have a very close friend that didn't make it tonight. and I have another close friend who did neither and one whose at the hospital- but I hope is- is gonna make it through. So when we talk about praying, I hope people will I Agee campaign was out of that. Building so everyone in it that's my bank. I hope that they will all retail and get the help that they need. There are a lot of people that are hurt in today. And if we have a place to focus our energy, I hope to surround them with the love and compassion,
been so good at showing one another. That is certainly the proper response from the governor of Kentucky. Meanwhile, the improper response came courtesy of our usual political actors. President Biden immediately I swiveled into gun control talk. He said once again, our nation mourns after a senseless, active gun, violence. German. I pray that one lawson impacted by today's shooting too many americans are paying for the price of inaction with their lives when work begins in congress act to protect our communities which weird because he controlled congress until about five minutes ago yet fully the role of the senate. He had full control of the house of representatives and he passed something very close to nothing. Meanwhile, David hogg, who is famous as a parkland, shooting survivor you several buildings where, but he was on the parkland campus when the shooting happened he went after the senator from rick, scott rick Scott apparently also had a friend I tommy elliot
friend, Tommy ellie was killed today in Louisville. He was my banker for many years. This news is very shocking and sad for enemy. He did so much in the louisville community. We pray for his family during this awful time and David hogg being a not very smart or a good person immediately. Tweeted out must be tough, knowing you're complicit, which is a just a vile thing. We may well green jean pierre doing the exact emerging world worth press secretary blaming the glp for a mass shooting in kentucky now, but by the way, it doesn't matter that it's in kentucky are measured in california, be the same exact math does not matter anytime. There is a mass shooter. The republicans get blamed, and, as you will see, there is a reason why Democrats like talking about mass shootings, but they don't actually like talking about you, know the actual overall problem of gun violence. Does things get real uncomfortable when you start talking about why there's been uptake and overall gun violence in the united states, here's green job here, Once again, today, the president has called on the public is in congress to work together with democrats to take action to ban assault, weapons and high capacity magazines to require safety,
ridge of firearms. We know that majority of the american people support this. Instead, we watch republic in official, after republican official after republican official double down on dangerous bills that make our schools that makes our places places of worship that makes our communities less safe. While too many americans are paying with their lives. So again we need to act and we need republicans to show some courage republicans in congress again they control congress they did nothing. They dont have a solution for any of the stuff. It's all grandstanding garbage and it all derives from the same line they've been telling for decades, which is that You do not agree with them. That gun control is the proper solution to things like mass shootings. Then this must be the your insufficiently motivated to stop murder, which is in Coming from the party that intimately tried to defund the police a couple of years ago gets more on this in just one second. First facts and logic are precious rarities in this,
crazy world. But you know what is even more precious than fact and logic. Gold unites what rayford literal right there, the economies in turmoil and the stock market is thinking.

Okay, so all of this raises the question, there's a lot of focus in the media, always on mass shootings, measuring represent a fraction of the homicide with guns that happen in this And whenever you see statistics about how their two hundred three hundred mass shootings a year in the united states, that is a definitional question, so what they mean by it, is any shooting that includes two or more people, though now as for measuring the desert but they're trying to do is play samantha game with you when you think of them ass, shooting you think alike. Something that just happen in Louisville or you think of the trends man who shop a bunch of christian school kids at a school nor national tennessee, that's what you think when you think measuring. Then they say there hundred of these year. Well, I didn't realize their them. There aren't ok, the sort of spectacular six, seven, eight victim mass shootings in more than you see, there's maybe six
or seven of those year. Why a sword top of the funnel? Now again, everyone, those in active evil, we should do what we can to prevent those things. But when they say there's two hundred three hundred year, what they mean by that is basically gang violence there looking a gang members were shooting each other and then their reclassifying those as mass shootings for purposes driving the notion that the thing we have to do is crackdown on shooting like the one that happened in Louisville or no more than the overall problem of gun homicide, they focus in the overall problem of gun homicide you find very quickly exactly this happening in the answer is a big blue cities. Big blue cities, where most of the gun homicide is happening in the united states, and not only that it is happening centrally located in neighborhoods that have a disproportionately black population now again that has nothing to do with the inherent qualities of race or anything like that. That is just a statistical fat, and that's it Verbal conversation that nobody left wants to have, because if you point out that remained, has
lots of guns and virtually no gun crime, and that chicago has lots of guns and tons of gun crime. It might suggest that the problem actually is not either race organs. The problem, is the societal structures that incentivize crime in these areas, areas and that might implicate. You know some of the actual governance in these areas have you focusing on chicago evils in Washington DC, in on the baltimores of the world than ever require very different solutions, because you'll get those places, those living gun by democrats for pretty much all the time and I've noticed a problem there, which that virtually all of the member in the united states is happening in cities like those ones and you can This is stance, so pew research came out with a study just last week. which they pointed out that the number of children and teens killed by gunfire in the united states increased fifty percent between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty one. That's a shocking statistic by fifty percent, the number of kids in the means killed by gunfire now the by administration the media there take on. That is that's because
Applicants are evil and what kids to die in mass school shooting, but here's the reality that majority of children in teens or being killed in shootings are not being killed in schools by mass shooters. Obviously, there are being killed in neighborhoods where people are shooting at people in twenty nineteen before the covered pandemic that one thousand seven hundred thirty two gun doubts among your kids age under the if by twenty twenty one, that figure had increased to do that. Five hundred and ninety the gun rate among kids. Indians rose from two point. we're fatalities per one hundred thousand minor residence and twenty nineteen to three point. Five one hundred thousand two years later to forty six percent increase. So what exactly happened here? number one you can see where the spike occurred. The spike occurred immediately during the black lives matter. Protests. So as soon as black lives matter happened and all the cops were removed from a high crime areas in the united states, all the gun homicides went up. Isn't that a shocker? It also turns out
gun doubts are much more common among some groups of children and teens. According to view, the number one. Homicide is leading type of gun death for twenty twenty one for not to us. For all kids under the age of eighteen, but suicide, account for a significant share of gun. Doubts among those aged twelve. Seventeen accidents, I emphasise what you have done, that some of those five, under racial and ethnic differences. This view. So if Europe with the racial breakdown bow to argue with you, rachel I think differences in gun doubts monkeys are stark and twenty twenty one. Forty six percent of all gun deaths, all gun deaths among children and teens involved, black victims? Only fourteen percent of the united states under eighteen population that yours black much all issues of gun deaths among children and teens, and twenty twenty one involve white thirty, two percent hispanic, seventeen percent, an asian one percent victims, so in other words the share of the population were begun. That's our approximately equivalent to the percentage of the population over all is hispanic.
the white populations about sixty seventy percent of the country. Thirty two percent of adults lack americans, fourteen and of the european population. Forty six percent of all gun deaths black for about five times likely as white kids to die from gunfire. Five times likely and again that that increase in debt is largely centralized twenty nineteen. when do you? Twenty post, berlin, post berlin, So if we actually wanted to stop the death of children, if you actually want to stop done humming I generally, you might have to think about indifferent things than ban all the guns. Then all the guns, ain't gonna, do it you're, looking at their own pace but hidden, is what you get the media focus in unmasked shootings, so they don't have to talk about the actual problem of gun, homicide which might implicate their own policies. So instead, what who is they misdirected to republicans want guns on the streets. Republic. Republicans are the real problem here and not the real problem is the real problem. Is there insufficiently committed to stopping death and that in fact, They are so little committed to stopping death and destruction.
would rather spend their time expelling heroic members tennessee state legislature, so the media decided to cover as heroes yesterday, the so called tennessee three, I gotta say these folks are somewhat most grandstanding political actors. I have ever seen. truly amazing, raising stuff so, for example, to want to show you a tweet, from representative Gloria Johnson This was worn johnson and her two friends Just in jones, interesting pearson, Johnson pearson have been expelled. Gloria johnson cheat survive because she is a coward and so well look tenancy legislatures, like I didn't do anything. Like I was there and it was like sure, but you were the ones who really did it. The minute they get expulsions like I m a heroine standing next to these two young black men be I am a hero, not all heroes, where kate Zeb picture for those who can see of the three smiling broadly and giving particular hand gestures to the camp
and behind them is a sign that says good morning. America. What are these Look really broken up bad mass shooting in national tennessee that that was what sourced all that's right, the way that they had this protest that turned into a quasi right. in which they invaded the state. Capitol building was, of course, is the care so much about the victims in tennessee. Do these people look to you like well, who deeply care about victims or they'll super duper happened beyond the tvs, their superman, happy to be on the dvds again. Imagine republican what was going on tv to talk about mass shooting and oppression was. everybody in the media be like that's creepy and weird, but you're democratic, Means that you are a hero and again this is all grandstanding crap to avoid the actual real conversation we'll get more of his grandstanding garbage in just one second, first, the economy made noticed not good. You need a chain, spending habits if you haven't changed by me, get you really needs, because the price of meat are out of control. Lemme. Give you three way: mrs subscribe to good ranch. First good ranchers, giving you
free bacon for a year, there's a pound and a half of bacon in every box. That is a two hundred and forty dollar value. Second good read this offers a priceless guarantee, meaning when you said your price does not change for the length of your subscription when the price of meat is expected increased by another four point: five percent this year. This could huge savings for you and your family third good ranchers meet its unlike. Whether they are all natural burgers. U s. J prime steaks better than organic chicken will change your standard for greet me. So they made me I'm a special person. They made me one special kosher steak and let me just tell you that Ivanka, mistake is indicative in any way of the rest of their product, which it is it's one of things: I've had my life so good what a good ranchers dotcom use. Michael ban for twenty bucks off your order. Again, you get free bacon, great meet, secure price. Twenty bucks off your first water use, promo code. Then a good is dot com. That's good! Ranchers. I've come american meet, delivered at livestock com, We greens means keeping green in your pocket to with forty poorest.
And off selected products that are worth day sale. Oh great, your windows with new customer shades shutters and more at blind. Stockholm need installation services at blindsided, calm, we ve got you covered their two plus. You can rest easy with our one hundred percent satisfaction, guarantee shop line, saw comes earthy, sale now and say. Forty percent on selected products plus store busters. Forty percent off selected products have livestock. How wilson restrictions may apply is, on these grounds, dinners amazing, so the media again, they decided not to focus on the actual real story here of of real gun I was aware that is happening instead. They're gonna talk about suppose it victimization of these three heroes my three euros, are really mean to heroes and no lightly and apparent so according to the washington post, nashville expulsions. Two steps forward, one back for black residents, the black residence. national are the real victims in all of this sure it it's just a bunch of christian school kids who got murdered, but the real victims here. So this is the second round the first round,
the real victims, are members of the trends community they trans memories, bunch christian school, get that's the real they can now The real victims are the black people and national tennessee. If you're wondering why it is that we want just talk about the topic and issue a transmit murmuring, christian kids. I wonder why I will not talk about the the actual issue gun homicide in the united states and the areas from which it springs. You can see? Why you can see why it does not fit the bill but according to the washington post, last week's decision by the tennessee house of representatives to kick out the black man who represents this area, reinforced to Taiwan, a nation that hoes that this is still a state where white men wield the true power persistent legacy ingrained here for centuries. She said what you tell me We go two steps forward and one step back is never like just keep going forward across.
Eastern nashville and surrounding davidson county, the expulsion of former state representative justin jones, who represented this area until republicans, booted him and a Memphis based legislator on thursday, has roiled the emotions of residents who are trying to make sense of what it means for their own futures or are cosplaying the revolution. Okay. So let's talk about this cosplay revolution, nonsense so number one this represented just in jones, one of the two when in tennessee to its antenna separate within the white, they didn't get expelled. The do black eyes going about up just jones has now been reinstated and sworn in. as the national metro council. It voted Monday night to reinstate jones to his former seat, and this led to jubilation in the streets up so much so much excitement. Here we go declaration its main, a document You can see this the overall for sound batter, chancellor, so this is, we are saying, is true right now: real dad
I saw it older vileness somewhat history that the person you are commenting, there's mark thompson, civil rights activist on MSNBC. it certainly is history. That's because gun violence touches everyone, but the republicans didn't expect. Was this type of reaction? This type a backlash you couldn't get a flight international The masses were coming here are the absolute he doesn't now is a costly revolution. Let me just point out that the two people who are at the centre of this, namely just in pearson and just in jones They have a long history of em of costly, the revolution so back in twenty nineteen, just in jones was twenty three and whose arrested and charged by the tennessee highway patrol. After throwing a cup of coffee, into an elevator of lawmakers, allegedly at stake capital, as in dignity. So there's a person, my great respect for the state capitol building on back and twenty nineteen, when he apparently was going tell it
and throwing cups of coffee at state legislators at the time the hennessy highway patrol reported that when then speaker, Glen Casado left a meetings get on elevator jones attempts to push past troopers and get on the elevator when it wasn't allowed on the elevator. Apparently they tell us how intrusted joan started yelling and speak with calling him a racist and then, through a cup, with an unknown liquid, believed to be coffee at the speaker now person, is sitting in the tennessee state legislators up that heroism comes in so many shapes and sizes I would like to point out at this point that no an apparently had any problem whatsoever when the republicans when a republican in the oregon house was expelled from the four The oregon state house, in december of twenty twenty in june of twenty twenty one lawmakers in Oregon ejected one of their own colleagues from office, fifty nine to one. Why? Well because he courage, people to breach the stay capital again. The rule is when a Republican does it and then gets expelled, that's totally deserved and he and he needed it. Speaker Tina,
the democratic world. His actions are blatant and deliberate. His show Nora board for jeopardizing the safety of every person in the capital that day and then times compared to the generous siege again when it the crowds doing, it is heroism ones, republicans doing it while they they deserve to be expelled from legislature. read the other person just in jones is one of the people who who has been making the most of this. He actually ones on good morning. America, you know smiling super happy about doing it, cause he's gettin his day in the sunshine He said this was like a political lynching, which is answered, considering he. This is exactly what he wanted. He is now significantly more famous than he was before you know it. You know what they are, not a lot of pictures of at lynchings people who are being launched smiling broadly for the cameras in front of a good morning. America sign a point that I hears. Here's justin jones playing the part
I think there is no coincidence that the two young, this black law makers, on twenty seven robes and persons twenty eight, were kicked out by almost entirely white. Seventy five member caucus on strictly partisan lines- it was a political lynching, was an attempt to make a spectacle an example out of us. Is it? How do you think you are equal and in what they're doing is which the most courageous parts it is not about us, but what a seventy eight thousand people each of us represent probably black and brown constituents who have no voice on capital who right now, no one to do there can your relations, and I want to speak for them. Yes, you did the horizon. We get to the other hero of the day, just pearson in just one second, because when you talk about people who are, let's see they ve, let's say they changed their public profile. But kindly is that in just one moment. First, let's talk about the fact that I need experimental coffee gothic. My kids wake me up to early every single morning and I'm barely awake stumble into the kitchen with my three children ends.
Well, I pour them some cereal and then I get myself some black rifle coffee, and that gets me going every single morning. Black rifle coffee is fueling americans before they go out and do epic things with their lives. They're ready to drink cans are crafted for quality and convenience If you want a spartan level, caffeine, kick try black rifles drink. Three hundred in electrifying, one of em city oil enemy, lessons that will supercharged jordi ready. Frankly, hundreds back to three hundred milligrams of caffeine, plus it comes in a variety of the wishes. Slavers each combined with large dose of weak, the heck up, ready, drink hands there. An amazing grabbing, go coffee actions designed to give you the boost you need to get through your dick. I love blabber. coffee, not only because they make excellent coffee, but because a portion of every single sale is donated to support veterans, law enforcement and first responders, when I buy from black rifle and supporting the people who keep our country safe and free, you should do- I don't know if the black rifle coffee, dot com use, promo code shapiro at checkout for ten percents off your order as black rifle coffee, dot com use, promo code shapiro for ten percent off. You can also find black rifle coffee and grill three and convenience stores near you, black rifle coffee is America's coffee. The other here on the day is, of course, just in person.
I'd like to introduce, you do just in pairs and so we're gonna do he said yesterday and then we're going to go back into the past. Just intrinsic here was just here. I'm good morning, america, again very mourn. About gun death in in tennessee, which is why, whose on good morning, america smiling broadly here, he was but he didn't know they were breaking a rule which that's. Why? I'm sorry? What how many of you? You know who didn't know they were breaking the rules. By the same token, all the people who are trespassing on January. Sixth, that day they were wandering through. They were just standing between the rope line, as you know, just the tour was a normal tour everybody unless they now those are rioters. Those are evil, terrible writers, throw them in prison for ever the ones were violent, all the through everyone in prison for the rest of their lives, because, obviously there live just in pearson. Let a crime, to breach the capital building and then standing on video in the middle of the capital. Building with a bull horn is like because that's the way. Normally you do business right. You go down to the rostrum. I've seen Speaker of the house, I think, the honourable, whom he does it all the time and they federal legislated. Here's just imprisonment, onion we! What
but no you're semi broke the no do you say you knew would be violating decorum rules, but did you have any idea that the backlog she would be like this from your colleagues know. We had no idea that what we were doing would break a rule that can lead to our possible expulsion or actual expulsions. What we were doing was listening to voters who said that we need to listen to the people who want to have gone safety laws. We need to stop the epidemic of gun violence and we need to stop the proliferation of weapons in our communities, in addition to our schools. This was a tragedy that happened at the covenant schooled in nashville, but instead of addressing the tragedy, the republican super majority in tennessee decided that we're using our first amendment right to listen to the thousands of protesters deserved expulsion. Well, that that was actually the first minute right is to break into the capitol building and then sees the rostrum and start chatting from a bullhorn, as it turns out also again, when what's amazing about too much of the media coverage is they're, pretending the tenancy legit
sure did nothing. That's not true. Tenancy legislature literally passed me bill to increase the amount of security at schools in peers, and he doesn't like that solution, because that's illusion doesnt service political work so he says more security officers is not a solution, which is we are because literally every single mastering is stopped by the presence of security officers. Eventually, the only question is whether it sooner or whether it is later walk to the floor of the well because we were being silenced by the speaker and by people in positions of power who weren't listening to the thousands of people who showed up to the capital saying to do something. We walked to the well the floor in a peaceful protest, because we know that there is a way to end and to prevent gun violence from happening, and the republican party in tennessee would rather tried to put more guns and security officers in schools, then solutions and white. Now what we are seeing is the erosion of our democracy erosion of democracy, because help this when I say cause blaine, I mean he's gosling, okay, so here here
Give a speech over the weekend did just in beers and at a local church and it was kind of wild here's. What he sounded like it does go into the house of the lord, I'm so glad to be in the house of the lord with you this morning. Would would you mind going ahead and praying with me now, mother, god, creator- god loving god holy god? Take this your servant made from dust and connected with the raw materials of star dust to speak in this moment to say something that brings forward the word you placed into my heart, at my unworthiness for such a task as bold as this, and I seek your guidance as you use me and speak through me. Do the ancestor preachers who made sermons from hymns, moons and groans and spiritual from the bondage of slavery. Speak now. Through this, your descendant and I'm laughing is because I also have a club of just in person from twenty sixteen when he was in
running for student president, and he did not say anything remotely like that. Also, he looks completely different, he's wearing like a very nice to bees suit and he has a very close crop kennicott, and here he is sounding completely not like that. I'm just synergy, running for president the issue. There are few reasons there were running this campaign. This one Did you with representation? How can we represent all voices in a conversation? I wanted to do this by partnering, with organisations from the booty Democrats to the booty republicans bring together different voices, doubted zig, you didn't you hear than ever, and this is how the game of politics is played in cosplay, idiocy europe, by the way, all the policies that it that's actually britain, the big cities that maximizing done homes it turns out they maximizing, gun homicide according to the wall street journal chicago, mayor, elect Brandon Johnson use just thought
the of lorelei lightfoot and he decided to put in male lorry lightfoot, whose Brandon Johnson, and he immediately declared that his first priority is to make large corporations pay more time. He said quote: seventy percent of large corporations and the state of Illinois did not pay corporate tax. It's. That kind of. it on our budget and has caused the table investment that is legit poverty. That, of course, is alleged violence. So it's not lack of cops on the streets is not hamstring, the cops. It is not fortifying the the violent crime areas, city is the fact that corporations need higher taxes, so it'll be fun. Watch Chicago turned completely into detroit, as we ignore all the real problems in our society in favour of the of the famous fortune to be won through political cosplay. It may well, when we say of crime. It is amazing that for literally decades, we have been told that man wanna was going to be just a normal part of american life, and that is completely non addict in that it has no real impact on on people and now we are starting to see the people are just now. recognising that people were lying for very very,
in time, according to the new york times, which was big. Proponents of the idea that we was totally via apparently, Nearly six percent of all american teens, an adult, have cannabis. He's disorder their addiction We remember that time that people said that we were not addictive, which always seemed a little sketch, and if you know anybody in the circle of friends. There are certainly people who are addicted to weed there's a huge percentage of people in this country, particularly young people, who are in fact addicted to weed and, if you're looking at, why the underperformance of the millennials- it's not all of it, but part of it is definitely people who are. Sweden are underperforming their lives because of that, according to the new york times. Despite the common misconception, people can become addicted to canvass just They can with other drugs like alcohol or cocaine as more safety them decriminalize legalised cannabis, more people. Are you than ever before, according to national survey on drug use in health, in twenty twenty one, approximately ninety percent of americans, twelve, an older used cannabis, nearly six posts, of teens and adults qualified as having canvas use disorder? That would be the clinical name for addiction for comparison
at eleven percent of americans over the age of eleven are alcoholics soap, But by the way it is worth pointing out here that the marrow the people are using today is significantly more potent than the marijuana that people are using when we were growing up. I'm forty left, I'm thirty nine when people are when, when people are growing up, when I grew up the table, Rwanda is being shipped over the border, largely for mexico that that that type of measure when it was simply less powerful. The kind of marijuana. The kids are now smoking and using and this is why you get stories like the one from national review about wanna induce psychosis, which is becoming ever more common as well. According to national review. cat may mayberry grabbed her backpack and ran out the door with no jacket had our gloves ran through snow flurries on a cold minnesota day. She ran down the street down the hill. She ran down the nature trail near her family's home in Eden, prairie, a southwest suburb of minneapolis trend. Maybe

Meanwhile, world war, three is actually drawing ever closer, not just because Donald trump, literally just put out on food social, a giant statement just said world war three, but also because world war, three is actually drawing ever closer I'll explain in a moment, but first I think that we need an inspiring and inspiring announcement. Joe Biden, reelect effort, was easter sunday and the president of the united states had some there. Inspiring and edifying words all of us about his twenty twenty four run, your squandering just, MR president, will you be taking

I dunno I got like a chicken nugget drink. I like chicken, chicken's, delicious, fried batter, wasted those, I president and your Biden standing there, increasingly horrified like a deer in the in the oncoming dear. Headlights train is oncoming yak that good stuff right their backing.
with it. While he has a strategy complaining when, if we're going to access your binds the actual strategy he's going to lean on social media influencers, so get ready for all of your we'll make up artist, Angela mulvaney, to put out inspiring videos about power. Joe Biden must be re elected president of the united states. General molly deal the white house, deputy chief of staff, we're trying to rejoin people, but also my use different platforms, get information and climate activists and people whose main way of getting information is digital. So who exactly is? given access and fine white house, this includes harrison a twenty year old and why use you'd, who breaks down the news on tiktok bossin college professor heather cops richardson was widely read some second huge twitter following an vivian too, former trader, discusses financial topics in chocolates on Tik tok, an instrument that everything and shut down take tat, probably probably while they used to talk in order to foster Joe Biden, reelect efforts. I'm sure china would be very, very happy with your minds, like efforts, given these strained, the Joe Biden has now given to china's entry.
is growing ever more aggressive. They should put out a video the other day of what it would look like when they take the or to taiwan. Here's looking at that We ain't Georgiana another day of unpredictable chinese drills around taiwan this morning, simulating sealing off this self government. Island title. says dozens of chinese warplanes once again cross the very soon its yves de facto maritime border of the taiwan strait. China's army releasing an animated video of what it would look like if key targets were hit. China sending a clear message that its angry about a visit to the? U s by taiwanese leader tying one when she met with house speak of Kevin Mccarthy, Joe China has been in the anti accordingly associate the china's military declare our money. It is good and what ready to fight, the completing three days of large scale combat exercises around taiwan at simulated sealing off the island in response to be taiwanese president stripped to the united states. Last week the combat readiness patrols named joy,
sore were meant as a warning to self governing taiwan, with china claims its own. According to the chinese military, they sent put the troops are ready to fight it. All timing, invited anytime resolutely smash, any form of taiwan, independence and foreign interference attend those exercises were similar to the ones conducted by last august, that is when they want to missiles around. I want to yell it basically Nancy Pelosi visiting These are a smaller and less disruptive. Apparently, not actually the big move by china right here. But my china is that they are drawing ever closer to europe, so you recall Joe Biden during the war in ukraine has been given crab by the entire media for unifying europe? Look at the leadership of job. I know the reality is the job I led from behind, whose laid on every decision, Joe Biden, you recall, actually have a press conference in which he said that russia could double up at least part of ukraine with no repercussions insane. We greens, like part of you, It has earned marzano that'll, be the project bismarck and it turns out the recently. Ok, we'll just eat the whole thing and then
he has slow walked aids, ukraine, this entire, despite people on the right suggesting that he's like open, ended aids, you re actually isn't true the realities. japan is actually slow, walked aids, Ukraine, which is one of the reasons why, according to leaked documents about the? U s, war, effort in ukraine Ukraine is now running short on missile defence systems, which is a real problem for them. Is it but Europe We want those actually leading, and then Joe Biden was sort of filling in the gaps. It was poland, leading it was believed, or not. Britain and France were actually more aggressive at the beginning, Joe Biden was out there. Take another credit who say: listen we're drawing closer to you, because now that russia is at war in ukraine it's alienating you from their oil supplies, you're now more reliant on the united states. Look at this look at the strategic opportunity. Well, you would imagine, then, that if the president's friends visited with Jian ping over in china that it would be kind of a cool reception right, it would be kind of like it stand office. You expect them to be best. Friends are in F wrong. Joe Biden has suggests:
The china is an opponent of the united states. China is working with russia in ukraine. Pretty clearly china has aggressive. Intend with did taiwan and Joe Biden is apparently the centre European foreign policy he's a guy who's, unified the entire west, according to our beloved media. Well, that's not what came out from that emmanuel mccrone visit so first manual mccrone himself put out an extraordinaire my warm video about going to china and he basically looks like tourist him grinning ear to ear as he meets with chinese officials and is just a chinese propaganda. Video on behalf of the french government system, if it wasn't easy now hugging chinese officials and then very ask what's of visiting from china This would be sort of one of the areas various people enjoy.
partly with, namely the english ass friends? There is raising religion. King. I share my personal view. any in italy, videos from the chinese soldiers were walking. Italy propagandist fashion here comes here, comes It's a propaganda videos, a junior here it comes from the quran. There are visiting rural happy that is on this. For now, the and then it turns out that now is just the first up, because morocco, actually then came out publicly, and he said that We must reduce its dependency, not on china, not on russia, on the united states and of what getting dragged into a confrontation between china and the united states over taiwan speaking who had to go into french journalist after spending around six hours with jumping emphasizes pet period. Strategic autonomy for europe, presumably led by become a third superpower. He said the great risk europe faces. It gets caught the crises that are not ours, which prevented from building its strategic autonomy as the paradox would be that overcome with panic. We believe we're just america's followers. The question europeans needs answer is: is it enough?
interests to accelerate a crisis on Taiwan know the worst thing would be we europeans, must become powers on this topic and take our cue from the? U s: agenda and a chinese overreaction. Just now, after his white left one job. back to paris. China, large scale military exercises because, as it turns out one of the things the china desperately want Is flexibility from here begins Rigel Joe Biden couldn't in order to dissuade china waiting taiwan, you need to show a united front. This had been the entire premise of the war in ukraine. We want to stop the you. I'm from baiting taiwan, show a united front in Ukraine has been like there's not a secret. nobody knows that this was the agenda item in ukraine. It was with one eye towards china and taiwan, and now the which are preemptively being like yeah. You know, if you, if you guys going to war over taiwan, I'm not sure sure we're in and maybe maybe we should be like, I'm trying to say I dunno, maybe in and trying to immediately goes okay, fine, let's ramp up those military exercises, because obviously we've got some wiggle room here between europe and the united states, so excellent diplomacy in here the president of the united states was somehow achieved here.
viewed of alienating the very allies you supposed to unify applause as it turns out the allies? of the united states are also being alienated by these Lee. They came out there a bunch of leaks that came out over the course of the last week with regard to american foreign policy in you According to the wall street journal the pentagon injustice, arm again investigation last week into document leagues when some purported. U s Oh gee presentations were posted by russian propaganda on telegram on thursday, though, regional has been able to independently verify their authenticity, but pentagon spokeswoman, sabrina thing said sunday: you can need to assess the validity of the documents that appear to contain sensitive and highly classified material. well, some of that material suggest that ukraine may run out of air defences sometime in the very near future, which means russia is going to escalate everything that is going on. An american allies are freaking out about it. to political. U s in crisis mode with allies after ukraine in telling senior yours officials are racing too. Frustrating confused allies from europe to the Middle east to keep following a leak of highly classified information.
bad law in ukraine and other global issues after news of the leopard Last week, senior intelligence state department, pentagon officials, reached out to their counterparts to quell worries the publishing of the entail according to for officials familiar with those conversations one and the members of the five eyes. That's the intelligence consortium between us, canada, uk australia, new zealand have ass for briefing from washington. never received a substantive response. Officials in london, brussels, berlin, dubai and keep question washing about how the information ended up online in first place, who is responsible for the leak? What Actually, it was going to happen to stop all this so more crisis from this administration with regard to form see again. China is getting stronger. The bricks nations recently surpassed the visa in terms of total global gdp. Now, again, that's not a fair comparison because the bricks nations also and forty one percent of total global population, the G7 nations are nowhere near that, but it does mean. Is that the aggregate power of those countries, and mainly be russia, china, india and Brazil and south korea are bringing up the rear their that
The possibility of providing a counterweight to western power, especially a fragmented western power, is real, which is why you seen so many nations in the Middle east, including saudi arabia, in IRAN. And even allies like Israel, starting to look at china billy do we have to triangulate here? What exactly are we supposed to do here? It's it's! It's amazing! You want to generate this ease with the international system I have to do is follow Joe Biden path he's great, more chaos more countries are looking go nuclear now everyone feels less safe because Joe Biden as president of the united states a closer than ever to world war. Three because job I need say very very bad president? Meanwhile, the God has been relegated to warning journalists, not report on things, which is always a good sign. Here's John Kirby, who is the national security spokesperson, warning journalists that they shouldn't. Reportedly documents again, without confirming the validity of the documents, this is information that has no business in public,
It has no business. If you don't mind me saying on the pages of of from pages of newspapers or on television, it is not intended for public consumption and it should not be there. This is what relegated to just so many signs of strength. Ok, we'll get some more in just one moment. First, let's talk about the fact that you probably haven't changed. Something for me. time, your underwear, not I mean that specific beer. I hope the change that recently, I'm just saying that they entire brand of underwear use the garbage.

It turns out that their purchasing our has real impact. So this is my favorite story of the day. Apparently bud late is just getting absolutely crushed in terms of its ales over the course of the last week and have it turns out that when you decide their chief mark, effort needs to be led by a man pretending to be a woman. Who is all Let us know what march madness is and to do this way the union got. You wanted versify your audience away from a century, Oh income white people and
ford. Instead, you know like trans women, that terrible marketing strategy according to fox business bud. Like somebody bloodbath this past week, end consumers nationwide revolted against the nations top selling beer brand efforts have recklessly into the culture wars. Last week with its new spokesperson, Dylan move according to bar owners and beer industry experts around the country, Jeff bitter owner of caisson botz, restaurants, sports bar in barnhardt, misery said. I think society since its muscle, sometimes he's had imbibed later, the inclusive excluded. most everybody else, including their traditional audience. Fitters bar witnessed a category a decrease in sales of the hometown sides, manuel and local customers. This week salesman, MR bush and MR bush bottle products dropped thirty percent. Over the past week, draft beer plummeted. Fifty percent But light normally ourselves, rival products like miller light incurs like twenty five to one brain tree, brew housing massachusetts that its ports by bar outside of boston- not this week, eighty percent, but
drinkers, ordered something else this week, according to the rules on the twenty percent or did order, but light went on social media. Have you heard about the transgender person pitch yet what I've been hell's kitchen when you're neighbourhood known for its large and vocal gay community reported blood, but like draft sales dropped fifty eight percent this week, but my bottle sales were down seventy percent. Apparently there are typically cells through three kegs bud light at one. their events is it is, it is a sales rep and taxes and eight these bonds. Weekly dark with bleak within a hundred plus players every thursday night that ourselves three kegs above, I did the event usually, which is a total of four hundred. Ninety five, well, then spores the bar sold a grand total of four twelve hours by labour. The entire week. It turns out, you know what, but like customers like doing mulvaney, add campaigns it turns out. That is a bad bad move according to
some of the other owners goat, it's kind of mind, boggling. They stepped into this round new marketing to an audience. The represents a fraction of one percent of consumers, while alienating in much interbase of your consumers. Apparently bud light sales have been declining for years, and the brand is likely to be overtaken soon by corona or mozilla as the nation's top selling beer brand. According to industry observers in in in the competition for which is the worst beer, I guess bud light is now coming in. First, there are the worst beer in the erika, but your marketing campaign did not help now. Here's the thing you might imagine you might imagine for just a fraction of one second, that the executive, who is responsible for all this would get fired, ragged vp over at an heizer bush who is responsible for this knowledge We would lose her job after all, she's done in absolutely whore. Finally, terrible job. She's the person who suggested as we played on yesterday, show that they needed savers
neither audience the best demonstrated zephyrs via your audience- is to find a man who pretends that he is a little girl and then have him hold up a bun light can, with a picture of himself on it as woman That person will never be fired ever for the rest of her life. She's just ensure job security for him. Forever. This the beauty of wilderness areas, Alyssa, hindsight she's, illicit will be working for, but, like the rest of her career, as long as she wants to, because the minute she is fired, she will soon. This is the beauty of de. I, you hire people you hire, people for diverse the and equity and inclusion, then they promote diversity according inclusion and then your business explode. enjoy all man. You did a crap job. I thought that you are in charge of selling more beer, not less beer like yes, but the beard, the p we're selling beer to our better people, and if you don't appreciate the moral quality of the people who now buy bud light sure it's like to have them, but they they are the best people they are, and gender half native american half black half hispanic three have little people bit.
was about people, and if your appreciate that a new fire me I will see you. I was you discrimination against me against the trans community. All I was doing was trying to make the world a better place this. What have When companies decide they are not in the business of catering to their audience, they are in the business of making the world a better place, you're, not the way the companies typically make the world better place, is by providing goods and services that the market actually likes. It is not the job of Alissa, whatever her name is to actually promote the world a better place from her perch at bud light we're looking to bud like for moral guidance. It is a beer If they want provide moral guidance and they should get into any non alcoholic beverage business, it turns out alcohol. amazing for moral guidance but again The best way to ensure job security for ever is to be woke as asked. Oh, meanwhile, a thing that I hate ok, so It is just an awful story and I hesitate to even comment on it because it so terrifying and growth, so the dalai lama
is eighty seven years old and dumb. A video has emerged of the dalai lama being a giant weirdo. That is, to put it very very kindly. in most other contest. This would be considered at a felt. Like I mean I don't know. How to describe it. Well in eighty seven year, old man tells a child to suck his tongue. That is a thing that actually happened, and I I know it's uncomfortable to talk about it, but it did happen. He is supposedly one of the world's great moral leaders. That's not good, exactly and by the way you do know that the media have focused on it like a tiny little bit. Imagine that this was pope Francis gave his rob Frances nonstop media coverage, entire catholic church filler pedophiles, now give media coverage rather than the entire, The budget for two thousand years has been about molesting little boys, and now the evidence is right before our eyes, theory of the dalai lama, caught on tape, saying to a small child to suck his tongue in the infirmary, is like
WU y. U whos! Okay! Here we go so there's this boy who went up to him and asked him for a hug The dalai lama call them on stage and said, along with that hug give me a kiss on the cheek save ii, obliged that young boy stood off that the dalai lama then ask for a kiss on the mouth. He pulled the boys chin in and gave him a kiss on them now moments later than the dalai lama say the longer caught him here and suck my tongue. Now, this click has gone via. Across social media sections of people on social media have called this outrageous his holiness wishes to apologise for the boy and his family as well as many friends across the world for the hurt his words may have was once interesting here is foreseen, did not talking about his actions, but the words that would be the that that would be the weird thing about that. You can say at this point that maybe the dalai lama has lost it
seven years old. Maybe he's lost it that that raises uncomfortable questions about the current present If the united states, who has a penchant for smelling the hair of other human beings and happens to also be eight years old, but you can say that he's lost it the way that people very often lose. It is not in super and predictable ways. It's like the barriers sort of come down so Let's put it this way. If this is not launch a bunch of media investigations into this sort of behaviour in this particular rina. Then you know why and the reason is once again. Certainly since our free by media in different ways than other religions are treated by the media. There is no question about it about with such a complex rent. A visit happen happened. if one of the major rabbis and the jewish community had done this same sort of deal. Major evangelical christian had done this huge. deal. Muslims not so much buddhist, not so much more than that, the way that the western media works on this sort of stuff. But I does this required. Explication
He was to me ass because that's not just like a little bad. That is what ban, Are you guys the rest of the show is concerned? Where now you're not going to visit will be getting into the mail bag?
