Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Well, good morning everybody, anda happy happy Thursday to all of you
and yours. It is Almond inthe Morning. It is Common Sense Radio
and Jamie Alman with you. Pleasedand privilege to be back with you while
here on one O four nine ThePatriot. Thank you all for your birthday
wishes. And it's been a greatfew days. Off headed to Arizona for

(00:23):
a little bit to see Aiden toschool and just hang it out in the
sun. And I know you guyshave had a nice little run of weather
with the exceptive yesterday. So yeah, spring is here. It seems like
it is. So I am too, so happy to be with all of
you. Good this morning, guests. So yeah, we've got Haiti on

(00:44):
the brink, and as it hasbeen for a long time. And ultimately
I'm going to get into this alittle bit later on in the show because
at some point we're going to haveto re reevaluate and indeed even revisit.
Remember the whole Bush Clinton Clinton BushHaiti project. You remember that one,

(01:07):
you guys, that bipartisan project thatthey took in gobs and gobs and gobs
of money to supposedly aid the Haitiansin relief from the earthquake. Remember all
that. I remember that that wasa big, happy, little HW Bush,
Bill Clinton type of configuration, andit was supposed to solve the world's

(01:33):
problems. And the globalists were allgoing to take part, and they were
going to invite all these companies into do business in Haiti. And you
know what they did though, rightwhat they did was they came in and
the Bush Clinton team with Hillary andBill and HW and all the rest of

(01:55):
the globalist Lincoln poops out there,I decided they were going to try to
lure businesses to Haiti to do business. So they wanted Levi's to come in
and start employing Haitians. But inorder to do that, they had to

(02:15):
start to tinker with the government there, and invariably what they had to do,
and what they did do was theyartificially suppressed wages, so they actually
they actually created it. Like herein the United States, you see they
are increasing the minimum wage, right, Well, in Haiti they went the

(02:38):
opposite direction. They decreased the minimumwage. They purposely suppressed wages in order
to get these companies to come into Haiti and to put their businesses together
on the backs of Haitians, andso they suppressed they suppressed the wages there,

(03:00):
and ultimately what you had was anentire invention of poverty. You had,
you had an entire creation of asubculture of poor people in Haiti,
and that you didn't necessarily have before. I mean, I know, Haiti
wasn't doing all of that great before, even post earthquake. But what Hillary

(03:24):
and the Clintons and the Bushes alldid was they came in and messed around
with the government in order to helptheir globalist masters out there, and to
come in and basically build stuff onthe backs of Haitians. Well, that
ultimately didn't last long. That thiswas this was basically post earthquake, uh,

(03:50):
And ultimately what happens instead of rebuildingthe country, instead of actually making
the country better, they just madea whole new generation of really angry Haitians
who were working basically for slave labor. And it didn't didn't take long for
that kind of poverty and that kindof slave labor and that subculture to kind

(04:15):
of start to work its way backup again. And of course, ultimately,
because Haitians were turned to even evenmore peasantry than they were involved with
before the government then of course tookadvantage of them and manipulated them and controlled
them and beyond, and now youhave the collapse over there and everything else.

(04:40):
This is I'm not quite sure thatHaiti would have survived one way or
the other. I don't think that'sa ford on conclusion that that Haiti was
going to become a great country anyway. But the fact of the matter is,
once again you have these globalist Rhinodemocrats all getting together and leading to

(05:04):
what we have now, which isa total breakdown of the entirety of the
Haitian society. And you're seeing theblow up there, and now we have
the Marines going in there to protectthe embassy and beyond. I don't think
that the Haitian or the Haitian government, or even a lot of the gun
toting terrorists there are well put togetherenough to do whatever we might fear they

(05:30):
might do. I don't know thelevel of brains and terrorism that they have
there. So we pray for ourmarines obviously, as they are in there
since Sunday. But the fact ofthe matter is this Haiti is a creation
of a bunch of rhino democrat globalistAmericans, and that's why it's blowing up

(05:56):
right now. And you don't seeClinton or Bush or any of those people
hanging around anymore, do you.You know. See, you remember all
the Haiti fundraisers, and Haiti waskind of the new little plush toy for
all for Hollywood and all that kindof stuff. Well they're they're nowhere to
be found now because they came inand they wrecked the joint. And that's

(06:21):
what Haiti is right now. Andso who knows what's gonna happen with our
marines and beyond, but hopefully everything'sgoing to be okay. But ultimately we're
gonna have to get back in therein some way, shape or form.
I'm not quite sure how it's gonnawork. But you notice that the US
government Biden, to know, allthose guys, the Democrats and even some

(06:43):
of the Republicans aren't kind of goingnear it anymore. They're kind of like,
oh, what what happened in Haiti? What are you are you talking
about? Saying? Oh, yeah, you know what happened in Haiti?
You know what you guys did inHaiti. And they're still obviously you probably
have some clothing somewhere along the linethat's still made in Haiti, but believe

(07:05):
me, it was. It wasmade totally on the backs of slave laboring
Haitians that had their wages artificially suppressed. I mean, if you can imagine
it here, they're they're artificially increasingwages, destroying businesses and beyond. But

(07:26):
they're doing that. But they didthat in Haiti with the opposite direction and
of course a predictable result, butnot before Clinton and Bush and all these
carpetbaggers raised millions, I mean hundredsof millions of dollars in funds, and
I think Allison you rightly point outthat ultimately we're gonna probably see some of

(07:50):
the same stuff going on as wehave to rebuild Gaza all of a sudden,
So keep your eye on that.Speaking of the economy, Janet now
saying, oh, I'm sorry,I called inflation transitory. So all that
for you. Also, RFK Juniorshould be an interesting month as he starts
to name VP guys, Good morningeverybody, and happy Thursday to all of

(08:16):
you. Also going to be followingup on the TikTok nonsense. The ban
on TikTok that well they're claiming reallyisn't a bad it's just trying to get
somebody else to come in and buyTikTok. Mike is online one. Good
morning, Mike, thanks for callingthe show Man. How are you,
and welcome to the program. What'sup, Hey, I just wanted to

(08:37):
bring up the Haiti Q. Idon't know if you mentioned it or not,
but there's a certain person that ownsthe miller rights in his company and
his last name is Rodham work dondybillion dollars with a goal down there?
Oh really? Oh yes, sir, Oh dive down a rabbit hole.
Yep. And that's been for years, so no kidding. So they so

(09:01):
not only did the Bush Clinton disasterteam, uh create this disaster in Haiti
basically during that time, you're sayingthat Hillary Clinton's family kind of got their
fangs into the gold mining industry downthere. Huh yes, sir. All
you gotta do is look it up. Oh yeah, dive down that rabbit
hole a little bit, and allthis is this is all They're all gonna

(09:24):
end up here. Yeah. AndI don't know if you've seen some of
the recent videos of Haiti, butthere's people actually committing cannibalism. We're gonna
and it's gonna it's gonna come rightto our shore. I've seen the video,
Yeah, digesting, and it's gonnacome right to our shores. Yeah.
Just wait, Well they're gonna they'regonna create. In this case,
they're gonna create. Actually, becauseof their involvement here, they're gonna fear

(09:48):
it in some way to create somekind It's not gonna be a flotilla type
of thing. It's gonna be anactual regimented refuge infusion here. So exactly,
yeah, exactly, And they're goingto bring that craziness here. Yep.
But this all stems back over twentyyears ago when they discovered gold.
Gold there over twenty billion now intoday's market worth over thirty billion. But

(10:11):
all you gotta do is look downthe rabbit hole and his last name's Rodham.
There you go, and you'll findall your answers. Yeah, Jamie
again, good board this morning.It's a great day, brother, Thank
you, Mike. I appreciate you. Good morning this morning, Mike.
Yeah, that's another there's another aspect, it's there's another level there. This
is such a crime and you knowdarn well that the news media is not

(10:33):
going to cover this with any kindof analytical mind at all. They're not
gonna they're not gonna look into thisbecause it's all going to trace back to
the Clintons and the Bushes, mostlythe Clintons. I mean, I think
HW was involved in this whole thingin Bush. I think the Bush family
was involved just as a kind ofI never did get that and nor buy

(10:54):
into the whole little Bill Clinton HWBush type of flying around the globe doing
their thing. It wasn't that Ididn't buy that for one second. But
that's what's going to be happening.And as Mike points out, yes,
it's not going to be a flotilla, it's it's going to be a refugee

(11:16):
system where they're just going to bringthese people in right now. And some
people are saying they're already starting tofly them in. So here we go,
all right. This week or inMarch twenty six is when RFK Junior
is going to be apparently announcing hisVP candidate. It's going to be in
Oakland, California. Dential candidate RobertF. Kennedy Junior has some notable names

(11:39):
on his short list of running mates, and it includes former Packers quarterback In
Rogers Rogers and former governor of Minnesotaand professional wrestler Jesse Ventura seemed to be
on the top of the list.Kennedy told The New York Times that he's
talked quote pretty continuously with Rogers aboutsurveying as his vice president. Whether Rogers

(12:00):
sort of Ventura actually accepts the potentialoffer, though, is unknown this morning.
Yeah, I might maybe. Uhthat doesn't make any sense. Uh.
RFK Junior would be foolish to pickan Aaron, right, I get
it. I love him because ofhis stance on the vaccines and that kind
of stuff. But he's not He'snot the most articulate guy on the planet.

(12:22):
And uh and Jesse Ventura, ohlord, are you kidding me?
I mean you guys. You guysknow his background. Although Jesse Ventura has
a really good, solid libertarian streak, I'm just not quite sure whether or
not he's He's kind of this thisis this is the time. It's it's
really weird that these two names havepopped up, of all people on the

(12:46):
planet for a VP candidate for rf K Junior. After all the hard
work he's done to kind of legitimizehis his candidacy and everything else. Uh,
Ventura would be an absolute rollback thatcredibility. But the Aaron Rodgers thing

(13:09):
might be okay, but it'd beconsidering his stances because he's he's a total
anti vaxer, which I love abouthim, and it took a lot of
crap for it. But this wouldreally cartoon RFK Junior's candidcy. I'm sorry
to say, but well we'll see, We'll see how that goes. Just

(13:30):
to be very very unusual, allright, your pocketbook. So Janet Yellen
is now saying, well, youknow, that whole thing about inflation being
transitory, I'm sorry, I reallydidn't mean that. You know, in
twenty twenty one, though, youdid say that inflation was transitory. Do
you regret saying that now as Iregret saying it was transitory? It has

(13:50):
come down. But I think transitorymeans a few weeks or months to most
most people. Yeah, and thatit's lasted longer than that. Yeah,
uh huh. Absolutely, Thank youJenna for finally figuring it out that,
you know, people are really definitelyseeing a huge change in their personal economies

(14:16):
thanks to inflation. I mean gasis up again and all your grocery bills
are up again, and it's incredible. Gary Kohne, who is the vice
chairman of IBM, but he alsoserved as former President Trump's top economic advisor,
did a really good job with ittoo. And here is what he

(14:39):
had to say about about how inflationcompounds. So you know, when you
see a percentage of inflation, it'sreally not necessarily just that percentage alone.
As he explained, adding up thosenumbers, you're not starting at zero every
year. If we had six percentinflation last year, seven percent inflation,

(15:03):
and now we have four percent inflation, that's ten percent inflation. So if
you take a basket of groceries atthe beginning of twenty twenty, just a
simple basic basket that cost one hundreddollars, it costs well over one hundred
and twenty five dollars today because thosefour percent one year, and seven percent
one year and seven percent the nextyear, they add up their cumulative So
it was a huge cumulative effect inflation. So when people are being told consumers,

(15:26):
you're wrong, inflations had no,they're right, they're complete right.
Yeah, Margaret Brennan, you knowthis should have been hard for you to
figure out even before you interviewed GaryCohen. It's so interesting that. I
mean, I'm glad that she hadthem on the air, and I'm glad
he laid it out there. ButMargaret and CBS, she didn't have to

(15:50):
wait this long to determine that theconcerns of the average every day American were
not overblown. I mean, people, these people have spent time and time
again on their Sunday shows and beyondall saying well, but people, just
the inflation is fine, the economyis great. People just aren't getting it.

(16:12):
They're not feeling it, and you'rebeing blamed for the fact that you're
not understanding just how amazing the Bideneconomy is. But I'm glad Margaret Brendan
handam On, I love all thatkind of stuff. But the fact of
the matter is it should this shouldnot have been a surprise to her,

(16:33):
and it should have taken this longto figure out the obvious. So there's
a huge cumulative effect inflation. Sowhen people are being told consumers, you're
wrong inflations, no, they're right. They're completely right. They're completely right.
And what they're more right about iswe at least finally have gotten to
the position where wage growth is fasterthan inflation, but we had not been

(16:56):
there till the last few months,so people were losing purchasing power and that's
why people were angry. And thentake on top of that the high interest
rate environment, where if you thoughtyou might have been in a position to
buy a house because you save money, you go out to get a mortgage
at seven or eight percent, youcan't afford a house. So people got
very frustrated because the cost of theireveryday life has got very expensive and the

(17:18):
cost of investing in their future bybuying a home got nearly impossible. Yeah,
well, thank you Faced the Nationfor that. And again the housing
element is one of the biggest contributorsto this sense of economic malaise that everybody
is feeling. And if you're notfeeling it, then your children are as

(17:40):
they strive to get into their firsthome or do whatever. And of course,
unfortunately, thank you Face the Nationfor having Gary Cohen on. You
wouldn't see this guy on Neil Cavudo'sshow, right because Neil Cavudo's too busy
flirting with whoever it is it comeson, which is embarrassing by any stretch

(18:00):
about how well you know, whenI was younger I remember when in the
nineties when interest rates were twice atwhat they are now. Well, it's
a different environment now, Neil.The purchasing power and the and the and
the power of the dollar is farfar less than it was back in the
day when people could absorb those higherinterest rates, and there weren't all of

(18:23):
these things that were piled up onindividuals, including some of the payroll taxes
and other outlays like health insurance andthings like that that work nearly at a
car insurance. I mean, thosekinds of things are really piling up,
even sales taxes and property taxes andthose kinds of things. So glad to

(18:45):
see the great awakening there on theFace the Nation Show, all right,
coming up, don't forget Later onAmby Bailey is going to be joining us,
the Attorney General, and he's hoton the trail of this racist kid
who beat up a white kid inHazel with the East. We'll follow up

(19:07):
on that coming up the All Newon All four nine, The Fatriot.
Good, good morning, everybody.It's Almond in the Morning and it's Common
Sense Radio. And what are therock stars of conservatism in these United States?
Would be Carolyn Fippen. She isrunning for the Senate seat vacating soon

(19:30):
to be vacated by Mitt Romney,and that will be none too soon.
She is a constitutionalist there in Utah. She is a boy mom five boys,
which is always awesome and impressive byany stretch of the imagination. And
she loves this country and is readyto battle all of the left wing crazy

(19:55):
policies that actually are affecting, especiallythe border policy. You wouldn't, I
think, Carolyn Fippen. First ofall, welcome to the show. How
are you doing great? Thank youso much for having me this morning.
Carolinfo Senate dot com c A RO L Y N for Senate dot Com.
Check it out. Uh. Youknow, it's interesting because people wouldn't
automatically assume that the border would affectyou, taught, because you taught it's

(20:22):
not along the border. But timeshave changed and the pervasiveness of illegal immigration
is really hurting everybody and trickling intoyour state. Oh yeah, it is
everywhere. Travel anywhere in the UnitedStates of America, and people are feeling
the impacts everywhere we go. Igo to the grocery store and I can

(20:45):
hardly come across people who are speakingEnglish. It really is a different place,
and this begins to really change theface of our country. I've heard
stories of schools near me where fiftypercent of the kids in the classroom don't
speak English and they're crying. They'resitting there trying to learn, and they're

(21:06):
not being put in a situation wherethey can succeed. Nor are the English
speaking children being put in a situationwhere they can succeed. None of this
benefits the children especially, and thepeople of the United States of America.
We are all being pinched by ourlack of adherence to the law at our
southern border. Wow. Absolutely,And obviously the residents of Utah there are

(21:32):
tired of the namby pamby, wishywashy politicians like Mitt Romney, who seemingly,
if they haven't turned their back onthe immigration problem, even aided in
a benetit. So those days arehopefully over, at least is when it
comes to Utah's representation. Yeah,we need to make sure they are.

(21:52):
We have some options for Romney twopoint zero in this race, and that
absolutely cannot happen. I'll tell you. We like to elect people who just
sound really nice, and there's alot of talk about compromise, right,
we hear this all the time.Well, guess what the Constitution was the
great Compromise. Those really big compromiseshave been made, and now it's important

(22:17):
that we all are willing to adhereto the principles contained within the Constitution.
And those who are looking to dosomething else in our nation are the actual
extremists. And that's time that moreof us get on the same page and
get on the right page and dothe right things for the American people.
That is Carolyn Fippens. She isrunning for the US Senate seat soon to
be vacated by Mitt Romney in thegreat state of Utah. Carolyn for Senate

(22:42):
dot com. And you were atone time on the Great Senator Mike Lee's
staff. Is that correct? Soyou know a little bit about how things
are operating there in DC. Huhyo, I know a little bit.
So I'll tell you it's funny becausesomebody got really upset with me on Twitter

(23:03):
last week when I tweeted something aboutgetting rid of the Department of Education.
Actually it wasn't somebody, it wasa whole lot of somebody, And there
was a response at one point thatwas, oh, my gosh, this
woman's awful. She's Mike Lee ina wig. So let me tell you.
I went out and bought Mike leeanewigdot com and that can also take
you to Carolynfsene dot com, Mikeleanewig dot com. But truly, we

(23:30):
need to have somebody who understands theimportance of the restoration of those principles that
have made this nation great, thathave provided economic opportunity for the next generation,
and that have allowed our country tothrive in so many ways, instead
of what we're experiencing now. Irecently learned that at the grocery store,
prices are up twelve percent in oneyear twenty twenty two, and of course

(23:55):
we all know they're up significantly morethan that twenty five percent overall. Just
it and came into office. Thiskind of thing is untenable and the American
people cannot continue in this way.Carolyn Fippin, how does this election work?
Then? In Utah we were talkingoff air about a convention in April,
and how does how does it ultimatelywork in terms of the eventual nominee

(24:19):
or how does that operate? Yeah, So here's what happens. We will
vote all across the state, inour communities and neighborhoods for those who will
represent us at the state convention onApril twenty seventh, and they will decide,
you know, who will be theparty nominee for governor for the Senate
seat. And what happens is Apriltwenty seventh, they meet, they make

(24:42):
their selection for who the official partynominee is. It will be whittled down
to one or two. If it'sone individual in the Senate race who receives
sixty percent of the vote or youknow, sixty percent plus one, that
is the official party nominee. Butyou know, a whole lot of people
in the establishment got upset when MikeLee took out a sitting senator in twenty

(25:07):
ten, I think it was.And so now you have a process where
they can still get on the balloteven if they lose in April. And
so what they do is you drophalf a million dollars, you can get
twenty eight thousand signatures, get onthe ballot even though you've lost. And
that's what I expect to be theparty nominee on April twenty seventh and come

(25:30):
out and I will then face ina June primary. Those more establishment candidates
who chose to almost circumvent the system, they still go through it. You
can choose to or not, butlose there and then can still get on
the ballot in June for a primarywhere there will be a number of them
who will be fighting for that samemaybe forty percent to fifty percent of the

(25:55):
vote, and I expect to winas the party nominee out of convention in
April. Well, this seems likeit's a version of rank choice voting,
which is a complete invention of establishmentRepublicans who didn't want to lose to those
who supported Donald Trump. So don'tyou think right, isn't that what that

(26:17):
is? Oh, I'm telling youit's different. But you are exactly right
that it's one more way to circumventthe will of the people. While making
arguments, I'll tell you here's whatthe argument was made. Initially, it
was do you want a small groupof party insiders deciding who will represent you
or do you want the voice ofthe people to be heard? Right?

(26:40):
Well, the voice of the peoplecan be heard if you just bother attending
your caucus meetings and participating in theactual process that has been laid out.
But now they say, well,we need to deal with this because now
you can have more than two peopleon the ballot, so somebody can win
with less than fifty percent. Youknow, you guys just created the problem
that you're trying to solve. Butisn't this the whole situation that we always

(27:03):
have with government? Right They arealways chasing their tail, attempting to solve
the problem that they just created byinterfering in things that they never should have
interfered with in the first place.Yeah, I mean, these establishment guys
always figure out a way to kindof squat on the ballot, which is
what they're doing. They don't wantto leave. They're kind of like the

(27:26):
relative it keeps overstaying their welcome atthe house. You know what I mean,
It's exactly what it is. There'sgot to be another way in every
single time. But I'll tell you, as the strong conservative, really constitutionalist
Canada in this race and one witha loud voice and an ability to speak

(27:48):
to the people, I think thisis going to be a little bit surprising.
They've had ten years where they've beenable to get away with this and
circumvent that process. There's some thingsthat are are different this time, and
people really have had enough and Ithink that could be enough to get us
the right candidate ultimately in the USSenate from Utah. Well, and I

(28:10):
certainly appreciate you being on with mehere in Saint Louis because it is important.
I try to tell people that itdoesn't matter what state it is.
We all have a stake in whois elected, regardless of whether it's a
state we live in. And sobecause we know what happens in the US
Senate, we know how important itis to have strong constitutional conservative senators in

(28:36):
the Senate, even if they're notours. We need them in other states.
And so this is a really superimportant election. And Carolyn Fippin,
we wish you the best of luck, really appreciate your time and know that
you're welcome here any day because welove your take, we love your commitment
to this great country of ours,and we appreciate your fight. Thank you,

(29:00):
Thank you so much. All right, that is Carolyn for Senate.
And it's it's true, this issuper important here and anything and to replace
Mitt Romney with someone who's a realAmerican will be just amazingly awesome. So
that was a ton of fun.Stay tuned. It's Almond in the Morning.

(29:21):
This is one oh four nine ThePatriot. It's common Sense Radio.
Good morning everyone, and happy happyThursday to all of you and yours.
This is Almond in the Morning andit's common Sense Radio. Jamie Allman pleased

(29:41):
and privileged to be back with youhere four nine The Patriot. You're in
the right place, so welcome tothe show. Three one, four,
five, five, six sixty oneoh four. So I am with the
fifteen Republicans in the House who votedagainst the TikTok band. I am with
Rand Hall in the US Senate whosays this is absolutely a ruse, a

(30:06):
distraction from the real China and fromthe real China fight. And this is
nothing more than a band aid ina way, I believe for the uniparty
to avoid true responsibility for dealing withChina in any kind of significant way,

(30:26):
because they all have interest in companiesthat still do business in China. They
all have a vested interest in thepharmaceutical industry which gets all of its medications
made in China. Pharmaceuticalceutical industry,the number one campaign contributor to our members
of Congress and who are you kiddingwhen you tell me that you're a badass

(30:52):
because you're going after TikTok? It'sa way to soothe and to passify the
American public into believing that our uniparty, our US Congress is doing anything at
all about the real China problem.If you really wanted to hurt China,

(31:15):
you'd impost tariffs like Donald Trump wantedto do, and like Biden and the
uniparty. Well back, come on, who are you kidding? We're doing
business with China on a regular basisduring COVID and all the other stuff.

(31:36):
You know who is making all themedicines even the vaccines for that matter of
China? Come on? Who areyou kidding? When you say, well,
we're gonna ban TikTok? Then it'slike come on, and I don't
buy it for a second, andI realize it's kind of the feel good
action of the day is to banTikTok because it's poisoning the minds of our
children. It's like, you area parent, right, you do have

(32:00):
children? Right? Do you monitorthem? How often do you let them
on TikTok? Well, they're stealingmy mind. It's like, well,
then don't let them on TikTok.It's that easy. Yeah, but what
about kids without parents? Like,okay, you got me there, Well
I don't have time. We don'thave time. It's like, well,
that's too bad that you should havehad kids. If you don't have time

(32:22):
to monitor them and watch them andcontrol what they're doing, then why did
you pro create? Seriously, So, at that point, this ban on
TikTok completely and totally fake. Andbelieve me, you give the House and
Congress power to start meddling around onsocial media platforms and beyond. Just wait

(32:44):
until the loons start to want toban x or any other concoction they can
come up with where they can claimsomehow that China is grabbing all of our
you know, having all of ourinformation. What exactly are they getting from

(33:04):
a thirteen year old on TikTok,by the way, that they aren't getting
by stealing our research at universities andby collaborating with us on like COVID research.
Right, come on the Wuhan lab. I mean, we're worried about
TikTok when we have universities in thiscountry who are collaborating with Chinese researchers doing

(33:32):
doing gain of function research and allthat kind of stuff. Do I do
I see a House bill outlawing gainof function research? Do I see a
House bill banning colleges and universities fromcollaborating with the Chinese? Do I see
a house bill imposing tariffs on China? No, China is eating us for

(34:00):
lunch on a regular basis, andTikTok, believe me, isn't the one
way they're getting at us. Sothis is all nonsense. It's all a
ruse. It's all created to giveus, to anesthetize us, give us
this impression they're actually doing something abouthorrible China when China doesn't give one rip

(34:22):
about this. Sell to an Americancompany. So what I mean, big
deal, but this idea, AndI realize I'm not in agreement necessarily with
all of the experts on this.I mean people like Gordon Chang I've interviewed
and he says, TikTok's terrible,but it's not the most terrible thing that
China's doing China. We're in bedwith China on a number of different levels,

(34:46):
and none of that is being rolledback. No tariffs, no ban
on universities still doing research, Westill have the Uhan Lab for crying out
on that still is in existence.We're still still funding research that's Chinese researchers
are doing. Come on, Imean so so if these people had any

(35:07):
guts, they tackle the real thingsthat are that are going on, the
real problems that we have, andnot TikTok. I've never believed this was
uh the biggest deal on the planet. And and unfortunately, and I'm not
not on you guys, but onother people. Even conservatives think they're bad

(35:29):
asses for going after TikTok. It'slike, no, you're not. If
you really want to be a badass, impost tariffs on China. If you
if you really want to be abad ass, then then ban US researchers
from from doing any kind of collaborationwith Chinese researchers. If you really want
to be a bad ass, tellyou what to stop allowing pharmaceutical companies to

(35:51):
make pills and pharmaceuticals in China,because I guarantee you half this country's taking
medication that's made in China, Sostop it. Uh. If you really,
if China is really that bad andreally that much of a threat,
then do something about the threat.Do something about it. But TikTok is

(36:15):
the least of the problems we hadwith China and the low hanging fruit that
people of lesser intellect continue to harpon and go after. It drives me
crazy, Jake Sullivan. So whenwe're not really really banning TikTok, where
we're just we're just trying to getsomebody to them to sell it. I

(36:37):
just want to be clear about whatthis bill is all about, because a
lot of people are going around throwingaround the words ban TikTok, TikTok band
and the ultimate object of the billis about a question of ownership. Do
we want TikTok as a platform tobe owned by an American company or owned
by China? Oh? I see, so now the US government's going to

(36:59):
dictate who who owns what ownership ofcompanies is? Is that in any way,
shape or form even remotely conservative forRepublicans to be going along with some
kind of manipulation of who owns whatwhile we're selling land to the China,

(37:20):
farmland to the Chinese, But wejust want an American company. Know,
It's like, that's none of yourbreaking beeswax, This isn't this isn't communist
America, or shouldn't be at least, But since when does the House or
or Congress for that matter, determinewho what, who owns what company in
America? I mean, if ifyou want to, if you want to

(37:45):
take this down a rabbit hole,you certainly can. But you don't want
to give Congress that kind of poweror the President that kind of power to
dictate who owns what. While we'reselling farmland to China, China is buying
up housing in America. You're gonnayou're gonna get into that, uh,
to the point where sometimes they'll eventake over neighborhoods where you can't These are

(38:08):
with Chinese interests. You can't evenafford the homes anymore. I mean,
this is ridiculous. Uh. Andsooner or later, you go ahead and
let Congress in this kind of doorthey'll do. You give Congress an inch,
they will take a mile, whetherit be on involving themselves in business

(38:29):
interests and in American business interests,or involving themselves in talking about social media.
