Up next, out Loud with Gianno
0:02
called part of the gang, which switch. Remember
0:05
when Joe Biden was supposed to be the man to
0:08
bring the American people together, the
0:10
moderate savior who would unify this country.
0:13
Yeah, I don't believe any of that either,
0:15
and needed that I believe it to begin with. This
0:18
is out Allowed with Giano called Brow. Welcome
0:24
back to aullowed with Giano called Brow. I'm really
0:26
excited for this week's show. My guess
0:28
is Brian Killed Mead. One of the most well
0:30
known political commentators in America today.
0:33
Brian hosts the nationally syndicated radio show
0:35
The Brian Killed Me Show weekdays from nine am
0:37
to noon on Fox News Radio. You can
0:40
also see him each weekday as the co
0:42
host of Fox and Friends. Beyond radio
0:44
and television, Brian is the New York Times bestselling
0:46
author who has written several books on American
0:49
history, including his most recent
0:51
book, Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers,
0:54
The Texas victory that changed American History.
0:56
Today, Brian and I are going to talk about the biggest
0:59
issues of the day, immigration, race,
1:01
politics, culture, and much more. Let's
1:04
go today on Allowed with Gianno called While
1:06
I have a very, very special guest, someone
1:08
who's a bit of a mentor to me,
1:10
someone who endorsed my
1:12
book Taking for Granted, and he was one of the first ones
1:15
to say absolutely, I'll do it. Brian
1:17
Kiell me thank you for joining me today.
1:20
Is such a pleasure to have you on. Go
1:22
get him Gianno, congratulations really your success.
1:24
Thank you so so much. So. I want to start
1:27
by talking about Prince Philip.
1:29
As everyone knows, it was breaking news last
1:32
Friday that Prince Philip
1:34
had passed, and I know that there was
1:36
a bit of a flare
1:39
from the mainstream media suggesting
1:41
that you um said that he
1:43
might have died because of
1:46
the Megan Markle interview with
1:48
Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry. They
1:51
say that you're saying that they contributed to
1:53
it. Can you run us through what your
1:55
comments were? Uh, you mean on
1:57
the show, Yes, on the Fox and Friends terrble.
2:00
I mean, if if that's my grandfather in the freaking hospital,
2:02
I wait on the interview or don't publish it. And
2:05
evidently he was outraged by it, so it's part
2:07
of the story. So that's why I speak spoken about it.
2:10
Yeah, and the media is running crazy with it. I
2:12
want to talk about your trip to Texas of not
2:15
long ago. I guess it was last week. You
2:17
went to Texas and you did a tour with Commissioner
2:19
George P. Bush. What did you learn from
2:21
your trip to Texas? For people not
2:23
in Texas, it's not a big position. For
2:26
people who live in Texas, it's a huge position
2:28
because literally it's the land. Is the development
2:30
of the land, especially for
2:33
oil, gas, wind, solar when
2:36
you talk about developments, industrialization,
2:40
ports, So it's a launching
2:42
pad for a career. And he obviously
2:44
is extremely ambitious, but humble guide typical
2:47
Bush. And what he's saying
2:49
is, I'm fighting when they win. Joe
2:52
Biden opened up those books and signed those an executive
2:54
order putting a pause on oil and gas, and
2:57
his job is to say, that's unconstitutional.
2:59
We out of state here, we gotta
3:01
be able to do this, and please give me a reason why you're
3:03
pausing this. And the other thing to keep
3:06
in mind, too, is that when you pause oil
3:08
and gas and federal land, you're destroying
3:10
Wyoming in New Mexico,
3:13
because Wyoming is something like their
3:16
land is federally owned and thirty
3:18
five to is
3:20
New Mexico, and that's the democratic
3:22
run state. Right now, why would
3:24
you first destroy them with border issues?
3:27
And number one and number two come
3:29
back and say, well, you still make a living And
3:32
what are you talking about? Because this is agenda
3:34
driven. Now, what's in the best interests of
3:36
the people in the country, Because if you want,
3:39
you could tell everyone to stop with oil and
3:42
gas. Let's do that. Let's feel great about
3:44
ourselves. Just so you know, we're gonna
3:46
be buying it from the Middle East, Saudi
3:48
Arabia, which obviously they have a problem with,
3:51
and then Russia, who I don't know if you've
3:53
heard, they're not the best neighbors. So now
3:55
we're going to be buying from them,
3:58
fattening up their accounts instead
4:00
of making Americans successful.
4:02
So I wanted to go out and cover that story and
4:05
find out the human cost, and the human
4:07
cost is tremendous, so immediately
4:09
it's affecting the economy. During your trip
4:11
in in Texas, I know you also discussed immigration
4:14
while you were there. Fox News recently
4:16
reported on the ranchers in places like Texas
4:18
and Arizona finding bodies of dead
4:21
immigrants on their properties. We
4:23
know many people in Central America have been encouraged
4:25
to try to enter America illegally
4:28
because Joe Biden is in office. What do
4:30
you make of the Biden administrations immigration
4:33
policies and what lessons, if any, should we
4:35
learn from the Trump administration on immigration.
4:38
I'll tell you what. Whatever you think about the Trump administration,
4:40
they admitted there was a problem, they made
4:42
mistakes, they fired people, they
4:45
hired people. They've moved it through.
4:47
They going through two secretary defenses, they went
4:50
into other areas. Uh, they were trying,
4:52
and then when you showed up, the border patrol
4:54
was allowed to take you through. I mean I was literally
4:57
doing interviews with the border patrol while
4:59
people will walking up on them, families
5:02
turning themselves in. So I
5:04
don't feel like I was being lied too. I was seeing
5:06
a situation that we needed
5:08
to be handled and they couldn't find a way. But
5:10
eventually they got it right to remain
5:13
in Mexico with Mexico's cooperation was genius.
5:15
The way the President said I'm gonna put
5:17
tariffs on you unless you start
5:20
reigning in your your southern border, and
5:22
they said, well, in turn, I will give you financing
5:24
to let these people apply
5:27
for citizenship in your country, and
5:29
then we'll decide if they stay come into our country.
5:32
And they said all right, and then they put twenty
5:34
thousand troops on their southern border. They said that was impossible.
5:37
Then they passed this other role that says, if you're going to apply
5:40
for citizenship in America, the first
5:42
country you crossed into is where you apply. So
5:45
they were crossing into the next country and applying,
5:48
okay, and then they went
5:50
ahead and started building the wall. That doesn't
5:53
work, then everyone needs so
5:55
they were doing it, and then things dropped
5:58
dramatically to the point where I'm
6:00
saying to myself, why is Trump not running
6:02
on this, Like why is he not bringing up that we quieted
6:04
down the border. But what happened is it became
6:06
a non issue. Almost reminds
6:08
me of when McCain got
6:11
the domination. It's because he supported the surge
6:13
in Iraq and we eradicated
6:15
ISIS or are on route to eradicating ISIS
6:17
there. But by the time he
6:20
got the nomination was running for president.
6:22
The big issue was the crashing of the economy. I
6:24
almost felt like Trump, you fix the trade,
6:27
you fix the border, too quick. It's
6:29
not even on people's minds anymore. So
6:32
there is so much that Biden's doing that is
6:35
wrong. Saying I'm being in humanitarian
6:37
by letting kids stay here is inviting
6:39
tens of thousands to come here and risk their
6:41
lives to get here and to drown
6:44
in the Rio Grand River in route, or
6:46
to be taken advantage of by coyotes,
6:48
or having families say the best thing
6:50
I can do for my kid is to sell my house
6:53
and send my kid to America because he gets to
6:55
stay. So everything they're
6:58
doing is so shortsighted, and
7:00
the fact that they're ignoring it, the Vice
7:02
presidents refusing to do anythings that make one
7:04
phone call getting
7:07
a total pass on it. Yeah, and they're there's
7:09
projecting that there's gonna be over
7:11
two hundred thousand unincompanied unincompanied
7:14
children coming to the southern border,
7:17
and we're not hearing a whole lot of conversation
7:19
about that. So it provides
7:21
a problematic status
7:24
for the country continuously because you're bringing
7:26
people in, you're inviting a man, as Joe Biden
7:28
did, and certainly he's
7:30
endangering these families. Johnna.
7:32
They're not letting us talk to
7:35
the border patrol people, they're not letting
7:37
us into the facilities. Why
7:39
is this media so compliant. Why
7:42
are they okay getting the heisman? Well,
7:44
where where's the anger? I mean, Okay,
7:46
you don't like Trump and you're Democrats.
7:49
I get it. If that's the case, it clearly is
7:51
the case. But don't you have
7:53
pride in what you do? I mean,
7:56
as I said, Trump was willing to have a bad
7:58
story told because
8:01
he didn't think he was to blame and he was trying to fix it. Whatever
8:04
I had access, I literally they said
8:07
to me I could fly down with the Secretary of Defense
8:09
and do whatever story I want. I flew
8:11
down there on the pen on the Secretary
8:13
Defenses plane, and they talked about
8:15
how they were gonna use both the
8:18
Defense Department funds and HHS funds
8:20
in order to stop immigration.
8:23
But they didn't tell me making a positive
8:25
story. I said, let me just tell the story.
8:28
They okay, yeah, if you want, you can hop
8:30
on their plane. And I was able to do interviews on the
8:32
plane on the way down there. Now I
8:34
don't I don't think, not only couldn't you
8:36
do that? Now you're not even allowed to
8:38
talk to a border patrol person. If they're caught communicating
8:41
with you, they get fired. Wow,
8:45
So things have changed. Extraordinarily
8:48
in terms of getting the story out. We haven't seen
8:50
people like AOC make some of these
8:52
bizarre and extreme comments that you
8:54
made with regards to the Trump administration, even
8:57
though the Biden administration uh
9:00
has really encouraged
9:03
the displacements of these children.
9:05
So there's no safety, they're just coming
9:07
over and you've got a lot of smugglers still
9:09
in the space that are profiting off these
9:12
families. Is really disgusting. You're
9:14
paying taxes on daily basis, you're gotta buy something, you're
9:16
paying taxes. You're writing a check at the end of the year, you're
9:18
paying taxes. Uh, you know you
9:20
work, you know how hard you work to get this job.
9:23
If you sell a sponsorship on this job, you get
9:25
a percentage of it. But if you ever get paid
9:27
paid as a freelancer, which
9:30
when when you do a book or a speech you get paid as
9:32
a freelance, you don't take any taxes out. That's
9:35
when you understand how much of your
9:37
paycheck goes to taxes. And
9:39
now in New York, of all
9:41
your money is going to taxes. If you're in
9:44
the higher tax bracket, why
9:48
why am I working for half the year? All right? But I understand,
9:50
you got to tax, you gotta ge roads, you gotta get subways.
9:52
I get it, but is totally
9:54
out of control. Highest in the country. If
9:56
you're writing tax checks on these
9:59
taxes at the around
10:01
now every year, how do you feel
10:04
about New York putting two
10:06
point two billion dollars worth
10:08
of some of which is your tax money aside
10:11
for people here illegally. So
10:13
now they're getting up to sixteen thousand to
10:16
come here. It's a magnet. Number
10:18
two, I've never seen something.
10:20
To qualify. You have to prove that you
10:22
don't exist. I promise you, I
10:24
don't have any idea and I snuck in here. Please
10:27
give me sixteen thousand dollars. What
10:30
country can afford to do that? Can
10:32
I answer that? None? What country
10:34
would do that? None? That wanted
10:36
to be successful and sustainable?
10:39
And now we're thirty thirty trillion
10:41
dollars in debt. People say, well,
10:44
you're you're a rich country. You should be able to know.
10:46
We're not. We're we're overspending
10:48
our budget. And if I'm going to overspend,
10:51
it's not gonna be because I'm going to the clubs and partying
10:53
and taking littles home. It's gonna be
10:56
because I'm doing something that's gonna benefit your
10:58
life. And sometimes you're overdrawn, go too
11:00
much in your credit card. But to go
11:02
over for this reason, it's
11:05
to me unacceptable for for America.
11:08
I agree with you completely. Before we move
11:10
on, let's take a quick break back in a second,
11:18
and I want to switch gears a little
11:20
bit because there's something really big
11:22
going on in the news, Baseball's decision to move
11:24
this All Star game from Atlanta due
11:26
to the backlash against the law. As
11:29
a former sports commentator, you
11:31
know, I I got some thoughts about
11:34
what you may think because I've I've read some of your
11:36
stuff. But how ridiculous
11:39
could this actually be? When six of
11:41
African American support voter I
11:43
d American support voter
11:45
I D the companies to say
11:48
that this is racist. I
11:50
think it's ridiculous. I think you just took a hundred
11:52
million dollar investment from the black community
11:55
and and put it over to where else where.
11:57
There's not a lot of black folks in Colorado.
12:00
It's not a lot of black folks in Denver, Colorado.
12:02
So wokeness is a new shot
12:04
in the face because you're taking
12:06
economic power away from a community that
12:08
needs it. To see Jim Crow and how ugly
12:11
it is part of America's past. No one ducks it
12:13
terrible. Don't ever justify it. Please,
12:16
I don't know anybody that does. If they do, they're
12:18
probably whispering it somewhere in some back alley.
12:20
I never hear it, but to
12:22
say that this is Jim Crow on steroids. And now
12:25
you're saying it's worse. So
12:27
you're saying segregated
12:30
life, several segregated neighborhoods
12:32
from eighteen seventy on down where
12:34
if you want to vote, you better pay some money. When you
12:36
want to vote, you better take a literacy test.
12:38
When you want to vote, you can have your life threatened
12:41
or you could actually lose your life to vote.
12:43
So people, uh minority communities
12:46
weren't even doing it. To compare
12:48
this law and these these
12:51
measures to that is
12:53
so beyond logical,
12:56
practical and accurate.
12:59
I can't put into words. So Georgia
13:02
does this openly.
13:04
They're happy about it. They pushed back on Trump
13:07
and they made some changes and
13:09
they said, well, you're trying to rule out before
13:11
it's even done. Stacy Abrahams
13:13
comes out and says, I want to say
13:16
that this is Jim Crow to point
13:18
out, wow, is that insulting number
13:21
two? Number two is what don't you like about
13:23
it? Just tell me who you don't like about. Just
13:25
go to bat on these measures. You're very popular,
13:28
you have a lot of power. Tells who you don't like. So
13:30
as you look at these measures and read this bill and then
13:32
you hear what they explain on almost each one
13:34
of them, it makes total sense to me what I'm
13:37
saying is and I believe if you put from
13:39
what I know of the Georgia officials, I only know
13:41
him from television and radio. But
13:43
if you gave them a lie detective test and
13:46
said do
13:49
you want everyone to vote
13:52
accurately and fairly? The answers yes.
13:55
What they're guarding against is fraud.
13:57
They're not guarding against people voting
14:00
what they're doing in Texas. They're not saying
14:02
minorities stay home. There is
14:04
a sense that they've lost control of the process
14:07
on the unsolicited no excuse
14:10
balloting. They these ballots
14:12
are and apartment buildings where people haven't lived
14:14
in four years. There in licenses when people
14:16
leave, when they leave college there Obviously
14:18
there are just changes. If they didn't request
14:21
a ballot, the ballot will just sit
14:23
in that dorm room, in that building, in a
14:25
house. It doesn't belong and people might
14:27
pick it up, fill it out, send it in. What
14:30
do I have to lose? I hate Trump, I love
14:32
Trump, I loved Rondo Santis, I love
14:34
Stacy Abrams. I'm gonna vote for Brian
14:37
Kemp. That doesn't make anybody
14:39
feel good about the election process. So
14:42
expanded hours. There's seven and seven. They've always
14:44
been seven and seven when it comes to mailing
14:47
in a ballot. No excuse, balloting is new, okay,
14:49
so you don't have to tell say you could be in town, it doesn't
14:52
matter. But they just want to have an idea on this.
14:54
As you just mentioned, seventy pers out of the country
14:57
is for it, of
15:00
non whites, of African
15:02
Americans. Wow, okay, so they
15:04
want to but know what they're saying, don't worry
15:06
about the signature verification. So that was
15:08
controversial last time. They said, let you throw it out.
15:10
Now that Brian kempt do a good job explaining that.
15:12
No, they're able to say no water on the line.
15:16
But for the President to come out and say that's sick
15:19
is to me something that Trump
15:22
would be raked over the cold for saying so that's
15:24
irresponsible. It is irresponsible.
15:26
Do you get the feeling that black folks
15:29
are continuously being exploited
15:31
not just bout the Democratic Party but the mainstream
15:34
media as well. It just seems like everything
15:36
is a narrative and beyond
15:39
just what the political aspects of our of
15:41
it is, black folks end up being
15:44
this disenfringised, a marginalized
15:46
some way. And that's by virtue of these MLB
15:49
taking the game out of Atlanta. You lost
15:51
a hundred million dollars in your community businesses
15:53
that needed it, especially after a year
15:55
with cold. They also bring up that they're gonna honor Hank Aaron
15:58
in Atlanta the year they he died, Uh,
16:01
you know, celebrating he is the true
16:03
home run king. In my mind that they're not
16:05
gonna do that in Colorado. If they do, no one's gonna care or
16:07
not enough, not as much as Atlanta. I
16:10
want to say a couple of things. I don't
16:12
want to. I think the stereotyping I thought was a
16:14
problem. Why am I stereotyping
16:16
on immigration that it hurts blacks
16:19
or minorities? Isn't a
16:21
stereotype to think that all African
16:23
Americans or might not that modern our communities are working
16:25
class or at the bottom run I don't think that way.
16:28
But people just say, if you let the illegal immigrants
16:30
in, it's gonna hurt minorities. No, I
16:32
don't know. I mean, does it hurt the CEO
16:35
of the founder of b ET, No,
16:37
it doesn't. I don't like that. To
16:40
me is the generalization that should not be acceptable.
16:43
And number two is why is it acceptable
16:45
to believe? Why is the conventional
16:47
thought to believe that minorities don't have I d S. I
16:50
think that's an insult. What do you think black
16:52
folks can do the to kind
16:54
of stop this? And I'm kind of reminded of
16:57
someone who book or T. Washington,
16:59
And I've been reading his Up
17:01
from Slavery, his book Up from Slavery, and
17:04
seeing how he was just one
17:06
of the greatest intellectuals of that time. African
17:08
Americans respected him, White folks
17:11
respected him, and his idea was, if
17:13
we can just secure the right education
17:15
and economic freedom, we can
17:18
be quote co equals in
17:20
this country. And black
17:22
folks. If I look at Black women specifically,
17:25
they're one of the most educated groups period.
17:27
You see a lot of black CEOs. Now you see a lot
17:29
of folks in senior positions. But yet and still
17:32
the same issues of the
17:35
early nineteen and seventies, nineteen
17:37
eighties, nineteen, early two thousand's
17:39
people are still there's still a sense of
17:42
a fight and black
17:44
folks not being equal with white or there's
17:46
injustices. And I know that there are injustices.
17:49
We see that, But some of this stuff is
17:51
being used as a political weapon. Is not
17:53
all totally true, just like the Georgia
17:56
Law. What do you think folks can do the sound
17:58
the alarm and say stop mar generalized in
18:00
us, Stop saying that we're basically
18:02
so stupid that we can't get an I
18:05
D we can't afford it. What kind of stuff isn't
18:07
so much? I remember doing talking
18:09
about slavery and the the
18:11
original sin and George W. Bush talking
18:13
about that and the horror of it. Nobody
18:16
ever, no pun intended, but whitewashed
18:19
it. Ever, uh No one ever talked
18:21
about saying that reconstruction went smooth.
18:23
Ever, when I read Booker
18:25
T. Washington's Up from Slavery, one
18:27
of the best books I've ever read, the story,
18:29
I love the fact that it's not his biography it's
18:32
his autobiography. It was his words
18:34
exactly. So what
18:36
he found out is, yeah,
18:39
people, you know, people who brought up and they just assumed that
18:41
certain color skin made you were smarter or better.
18:44
And then the people started realizing that's washing
18:46
away because there
18:48
was a sense that if you do
18:51
not you know, uh, that whites were smarter than blacks.
18:53
It was only that our of education. Booker
18:55
T. Washington was somehow that was
18:57
instilled in him. He was determined to get
18:59
that education Aian, and when he did,
19:01
he studied both cultures.
19:05
And when he built the Tuskegee School,
19:08
he watched the orderly way in which white
19:11
farmers would plant their crops opposed to black
19:13
farmers. He watched as whites were helpless
19:15
after slavery because they had absolutely no skills.
19:18
He actually felt bad for white because
19:20
they couldn't do a thing themselves. They couldn't
19:22
build a house, they couldn't take care of a farm, they couldn't
19:24
fix anything. Um and
19:27
the African Americans had all the skills, all
19:29
the trades. So what he said is we're
19:32
gonna do both. I'm gonna teach
19:34
you to build stuff, and I'm also
19:36
gonna teach you to know stuff. So
19:38
they're building buildings and built the Tuskegee School.
19:40
But he found out is if you could be a
19:42
benefit to people, that's the equal
19:44
that's the equalizer. And they would make the
19:47
wagons that would be transportation back
19:49
then and just drop it off in the middle of the town and say, hey,
19:51
is this from the Tuskegee School, And
19:53
they would become great neighbors. And
19:55
then little by little, this preconditioned
19:58
preconception of slave me and blacks
20:00
being better than whites and whites being better than blacks just
20:03
would fall by the wayside. There'd be people and
20:05
that that we were on our way, and
20:08
those people who are ignorant would be stepped
20:10
aside. I'm not gonna focus on them. I'm gonna keep moving
20:12
forward. And when I address a white audience,
20:14
I'm gonna have the same speech as a black audience.
20:17
I'm not gonna change my message at all. And
20:19
if my goal was to have a president speak
20:21
at an all black school, he made
20:23
it happen. Got William McKinley to show
20:26
down and give the commencement address. Everything
20:28
that was seemed impossible, he made happen.
20:31
In the time in which I still think it's impossible,
20:33
and he did in eighteen seventy, eighteen eighty, right,
20:36
he did it. I mean, we were making so
20:38
much progress, and I feel now
20:41
there's a there's an invisible force forcing
20:44
us apart. I'm just like a loss for words
20:46
because it seems as though the energy has
20:48
definitely dialed up. We
20:50
saw what happened with George Floyd last
20:53
summer, and everyone knows that it was a
20:55
tragedy. Uh. You saw a senator
20:57
attempt Scott come out with the police reform bill, with
20:59
which the Democrats pushed back against
21:01
because they hit their own agenda and they wanted to use
21:04
it as a wage which issue for
21:06
the election. But it doesn't appear
21:08
that things are becoming better. Even
21:11
though the wealth gap is
21:13
closing when it comes to African Americans between
21:16
the whites and black college education is
21:18
up. It just doesn't seem like
21:20
there's that is making much of a
21:22
difference in our country. So you mentioned
21:25
people are apologizing for white privilege. No,
21:27
they're apologize it for being white. It's
21:29
it's there's a difference, you know there,
21:31
there's there's a distinction there, and it's
21:34
it's become really awful for people.
21:36
And I wonder me as an individual
21:38
who doesn't have kids. I'm not married or
21:40
anything like that, yet, like, what kind of country
21:43
will my kids grow up in if this is what we
21:45
have right now, and it just seems just
21:48
overly divided to me? Yeah,
21:51
I mean it's just overkill. I mean,
21:54
if there are sections in America that think
21:56
it's eighteen, what's
21:58
straightened them out? But I really believe
22:01
most of America respects
22:05
you as much as you might respect me, and
22:07
might be disrespectful to you as much as disrespectful
22:09
to me, but not because of the color of
22:11
your skin, and not because of
22:13
the color of my skin. Some people like, yeah, the one thing
22:15
I know for sure is that guy Brian killed me and I hate him
22:17
on Fox. I never he was cognizant
22:21
of color. And I think a lot
22:23
of it has to do with number
22:25
one growing up lower middle class, not further
22:28
closer to lower than middle. Number
22:30
two is playing soccer. It
22:32
was such a you don't understand this, probably,
22:35
but when you play soccer in the nineteen seventies, nobody
22:37
was playing and almost everybody
22:40
was so called foreigners or minorities.
22:42
And even when I went to college, I was one of four
22:45
Americans on my college soccer team. And
22:47
would you you never see Cohen? You say, well, I
22:50
got three Israelis over here. They're gonna
22:52
be good, hard working midfielders. I got a Greek
22:54
guy in the back. He's gonna be a great sweeper. This
22:56
guy is from Somalia. You know he's gonna be great
22:58
foot skills. I don't know about his in durance. And
23:00
then you got somebody from Jamaica or
23:03
Tobago. Straighter that to
23:05
Bago, I'm gonna tackle in
23:07
a way it's gonna cut you in half. I didn't
23:09
do that to label people. I just said that's what's
23:11
gonna make a great team. I never
23:14
saw color. I
23:16
saw the culture and I loved
23:18
it. You know, we had three guys from Tobago.
23:21
All these guys people I just mentioned that made up
23:23
our team over the next four years. Had two
23:25
guys from Greece, one guy from Colombia. The
23:27
whole back line was Jamaican and
23:30
the other guy was from Huntington Long Island. The goalie was
23:32
from Huntington Long Island. When you play
23:34
sports, it really gives you an
23:36
education on where a team,
23:38
what's it gonna take. And that's the way
23:40
I've always looked at it, and now they're
23:42
forcing everybody to see black
23:44
and white. Even that United Airline
23:47
story. We're going to now fifty
23:49
of all new pilots are gonna be minorities. And I'm thinking
23:51
to myself, Well, if I'm a minority, I wanted to be a pilot.
23:54
I don't want it to be because you made a policy.
23:56
I want to be the best guy. Right.
24:00
No, our hundred percent agree with you on and that we
24:02
need to policy. Here for a quick break, but we'll be back
24:04
in a second. You
24:07
know, being black, growing up like I
24:09
did on the South Side of Chicago, I
24:11
think a lot of times we were taught to
24:13
view life through the prism of race, because
24:17
oftentimes they would tell you, listen,
24:19
you're gonna be discriminated against. You're not gonna get the
24:21
best opportunities. You're not gonna white
24:23
people are gonna look down on you. These are things
24:25
that that are taught. These aren't things
24:27
that you you just grow up believing, you
24:29
were born into believing that you weren't going to be the
24:31
best. These are things that you're taught. And we live
24:33
in a society and a culture which continues
24:36
to perpetrate that narrative and say,
24:39
because of your color, especially if you're
24:41
black, you're you're gonna be insignificant to
24:43
do these major things that so many other people
24:46
have done. And it's something that I would
24:48
have thought would have changed
24:50
by now, but you continue to see it in
24:52
ways that can be micro. So United
24:56
Airlines, Yeah, it's fine to have
24:59
diversity. The most important thing
25:01
is safety in the airplane. Can you do the job
25:03
first and foremost? And this is
25:06
what it doesn't. So
25:08
let's say that Giano Caldwell wants to be
25:10
a pilot and you apologize and
25:12
the United had an opportunity to go in there, And
25:15
do you want people in that class saying well, Gianna
25:17
only got here because it was a quota. No,
25:20
you want to know what you're great to a great You know you've
25:22
got great perception. It has always been your dream. Can
25:24
I please have my dream back? Please? Can
25:27
you please? You know, I'm
25:29
just astounded about some
25:31
of the logic here. Is Democrats now control the federal
25:33
government. The left control so many of our
25:35
most important institution is the media, academia,
25:39
Hollywood, increasingly athletes,
25:41
and now even corporate America. How
25:43
do you see our culture changing in the coming
25:46
years as a result of all the leftist control
25:48
and what role does Joe Biden terrible? It couldn't
25:50
be more disappointed. I think, I don't
25:52
want people are listening to this, but for him to now
25:55
put together a thirty six
25:57
person committee to study fattening
26:00
the courts, for him to be
26:03
writing checks one nine trillion
26:05
dollars, essentially bribing people to vote for him
26:07
and then putting two point two trillion in there and
26:09
pretending its infrastructure. We basically
26:11
we elected AOC. Everything
26:14
that's going on is way
26:16
to the left, and I don't think the country
26:18
is there yet. My worry is they're being
26:20
bribed. They're being bribed with tax
26:22
dollars, tax tax dollars, and
26:25
he's gonna get credit for as
26:27
we come out of the pandemic and vaccines or shott
26:29
into people's arms, and then we'll be
26:31
able just to go back to work, not asking
26:33
to reboot where in
26:36
two thousand and eight we had to go back and go find with the
26:38
bad new banking system will be and find new careers
26:40
in some situations. But
26:42
now we have to just go back to work, go back to that restaurant,
26:44
go back to the department store,
26:47
Uh, go back to go back to your apartment
26:49
building. Uh, and now go back to your
26:51
workplace. And that's gonna put the economy
26:54
on turbo speed. My big worry is they're
26:56
going to say that these policies gave us
26:58
that and and this kind
27:01
of economy was blown was coming back.
27:03
I don't care who was president because
27:06
of the pandemic. Yeah, I think that he's
27:08
gonna gut defense. That's what I think the legacy
27:10
is. And it gout defense at a time where
27:13
China doing the exact opposite. It's death. It's
27:15
death to our superpower status. Speaking
27:19
of China, to pick pick up on that point,
27:22
recently, they threatened the United States
27:24
if they boycott at the Olympics. They said that it
27:26
would be a robust Chinese response
27:29
if the US was to do
27:31
that. I think Joe Biden kind of cow
27:34
til to that because at first there was at least
27:37
reports that there were conversations
27:40
with our allies about boycotting because
27:42
of the human rights abuses in China.
27:45
Joe Biden is clearly showing weakness to China.
27:47
Why do you think that is? Yeah,
27:50
I mean Anthony B. Lincoln was the recipient,
27:53
but did give some back in Alaska. I'm
27:55
mildly encouraged by him. He talked about
27:57
the go to the Asian Accord, uh,
27:59
the Braham Accords. Um.
28:02
He did talk about how NATO is paying more
28:04
than they thought. That's really a tribute
28:06
to Trump. He's leaving the tariffs in
28:08
place, which I like. It shows that tariffs did work
28:10
and all that criticism was all politics. But
28:14
they are really belligerent to come into
28:16
arts on our soil and talk to us as
28:19
if slavery was taking
28:21
place in our country. They because you have a huge
28:23
problem with Black America. They're
28:27
being slaughtered on a daily basis, and
28:29
equate that to what they're doing with the Muslim
28:31
weakers as if it's eighteen
28:33
seventy or eighteen thirty. Is
28:36
unbelievable, but it shows you are all politics are hurting
28:39
us internationally, but they want
28:41
to beat us. Our advantages, we
28:43
have innovation, our advantages.
28:45
We need to be challenged and uh, if you give
28:47
us a common enemy, we can rally. Hence the
28:50
Soviets in every way, shape or
28:52
form. So we have to get interact together.
