remember that we're supposed to be a unified country i know these are incredibly divisive times and people look at each other across the aisle and we think how about a national divorce like we don't seem that we want to live in the same country anymore well it's amazing to say that it's been nearly 20 years since 9 11 but for those of us who are old enough to remember 9 11 it was a formative experience for a lot of us i know a lot of people who shifted from left to right in the aftermath of 9 11. i know a lot of people who had a revivified sense of what it meant to be an american after 9 11 it turns out that when america is under attack from an existential threat when americans are being murdered by the thousands in america's biggest and greatest landmarks americans tend to to to resonate to that and remember what it is that was supposed to bring us together as americans and frankly it's incredible that in the midst of a great pandemic we can't even do that again in the midst of a global pandemic that has taken at this point nearly 200 000 or about 200 000 american lives that we can't come together and at least recognize why exactly we like each other or why we want to occupy the same country and maybe it is that it's just been too long since 9 11 for people to remember exactly how we felt on the morning of 9 11 as we watched terrorists plow two civilian airliners into the twin towers and as we watched them plow another civilian airliner into the pentagon and as a fourth civilian airliner went down in a field in pennsylvania but for those of us who are old enough to remember we remember the gut-wrenching horror of watching our fellow americans people we had no idea their politics we had no idea what they believed about the world having to hurl themselves from the highest stories of the world trade center people with families people with children watching as firefighters charged into those buildings knowing full well that they would probably die doing that and trying to save other people's lives knowing full well that people who are joining the military and making sacrifices most of us were not willing to undertake to go overseas and protect america that this was indeed a great country in a country worth upholding and that is worth remembering again that is worth remembering again that what unites us is supposed to be so much more than what divides us unfortunately in today's day and age maybe it's because we haven't faced down a 911 maybe it's because we haven't had a the the spectacularly horrifying images on tv of what happened on 9 11 hit the united states again maybe because covet isn't an external enemy so much as just an ever-present threat maybe for whatever reason we have not come together instead we've decided to savage each other tear each other apart and see each other as enemies rather than friends as enemies rather than brothers and sisters good indicator of this today on twitter there's a trending hashtag that would hashtag all buildings matter now the ideological contortions you have to go through in order to tweet that and believe that you're saying something good relevant or moral are pretty astonishing so presumably this has meant this this hashtag all buildings matter is meant as a rebuttal to the all lives matter rebuttal to black lives matter so in order to try and understand the logic of this you have to go back to what black lives matter was supposed to represent so black lives matter as i've said before is a term of semantic overload it can mean several different things one it can be the inarguably true and obvious proposition that black lives matter in the united states which we all agree with then it could mean the black lives matter organization which is a radical neo-marxist movement and then it could mean the black lives matter movement more generally not the organization but the movement more generally which argues that america is systemically racist and dislikes black americans and discounts black bodies and tries to harm black americans a proposal for which at this point in american history there's not only no evidence there's significant counter evidence okay all lives matter was meant as a rebuttal generally speaking to that second contention which is that everybody agrees that black lives matter because black lives matter just as much as everybody else's life okay so people who are advocates of black lives matter decided that they were going to hashtag all buildings matter as though the the comparison where you say that the the world trade centers matter well all buildings matter equally okay this makes no sense this makes no sense because the argument of black lives matter is that black people are being disproportionately targeted that america is systemically racist okay that that is a bad argument there's not a lot of data to back that in fact as i say there's significant counter data to back that the hashtag all buildings matter presumably suggests that certain buildings were not targeted well we we know which buildings were targeted and in fact we know why we were upset that those buildings were targeted not merely because they were landmarks but because as it turns out they were holding thousands of human beings black white and green anybody who thinks it's an intelligent point to tweet out all buildings matter at this point is an idiot and everybody understands that they're an idiot or should understand that they're an idiot and that they're not making a good point about black lives matter or anything else for that matter but to use 911 as in as an anniversary for divisiveness to suggest that 911 ought to immediately be channeled into a debate about black lives matter is kind of wild uh the only only thing that makes it not wild is of course if you buy into this theory that america is inherently bad then you end up in the ta-nehisi coates position of writing about the fact that you watched 911 happen from your apartment rooftop smoked pot and felt nothing that's something that ta-nehisi coates has actually written about in his books because america's so systemically terrible that he didn't feel anything while watching 911 this is something that he wrote in i believe between the world and me if you believe that then there really is nothing that can hold america together anymore so if 9 11 doesn't mean anything to you because you weren't born that's one thing but if you're old enough to remember 911 if you're old enough to remember what it felt like and you don't still have that that churning gut feeling every time you think of the horrors of that day and you still can't think that like why people would fly a flag in the aftermath of 911 i remember this i mean we all remember this all the flags that went up all around the united states in solidarity with each other they had the feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood that came along with 911 the the final record final realization that we were all part of the same country and that it was a country worth upholding that we are a good country that when shown against in stark relief with so many other places around the world including the the ideologies of places like afghanistan and and the taliban and al-qaeda that when you're replacing the united states in stark relief with any place else on earth this is an amazing amazing place with amazing people heroes you know people that don't know other people who they are willing to sacrifice their lives for we should be remembered we should be reminded of that as we approach a contentious election when it appears that violence in the streets is a real possibility we should remember all of that okay in just a second we're going

block coveted relief the media are covering for them so what you've seen is senate republicans fail to advance bill senate republicans fail to advance bill no that's not what happened here what actually happened here is that senate democrats who are in the minority utilized that jim crow relic according to barack obama the senate filibuster to filibuster a coveted relief package kamala harris voted in favor of that filibuster so democrats used the filibuster to kill a coveted relief package just a few weeks after using that jim crow hallmark the filibuster in order to kill police reform proposed by republican senator tim scott so it seems like democrats are very much willing to use jim crow relics when it serves their interests they are willing to use any institution of power or get rid of any institution of power in pursuit of their goals which is one of the reasons why republicans have very little trust that democrats are going to abide by any rules of the game when it comes to upholding american institutions it's one of the reasons why i among other conservatives deeply fearful that democrats who have now pledged that they wish to pack the courts that they wish to get rid of the senate filibuster that they wish to add states could systematically change the nature of american government if they achieve a majority in the senate and the presidency of the united states in 2020. so why are democrats doing this the answer is obvious they would love to see the economy tank just before the election and ensure that joe biden wins election according to the new york times prospects for any additional stimulus to address the coronavirus pandemic's devastating toll before the election darkened considerably on thursday when a whittled down republican plan failed in the senate on a partisan vote democrats voted it unanimously to block the proposal from advancing calling it inadequate to meet the mounting needs for federal aid in the latest indication of a lack of political will to reach an agreement even as critical federal aid for individuals and businesses has run dry it was a nearly party-line vote whose outcome was never in doubt the proposal amounted to a fraction of the 1 trillion plan republicans had offered negotiation with democrats who in turn were demanding more than twice as much well the reason that the republicans then proposed a slim down bill is they said you can't agree on any of the ancillary stuff in the bill so let's just at least agree that we should extend some unemployment benefits for a little while we should make sure that people have enough money to pay their rent for the next month or so a failure to compromise would leave millions of jobless americans in potentially dire straits as they exhaust traditional jobless benefits and states run out of additional funds trump steered to the unemployed by executive order last month it would also strand a wide swath of small business owners who have endured steep drops in revenue as the pandemic chilled economic activity senator pat roberts republican of kansas said quote along with the pandemic of cove 19 with a pandemic of politics looking to the house for that matter our colleagues across the aisle is a sort of dead end street this is right senator marco rubio of florida republican he said congress isn't going to pass more covenant 19 relief before the election and again the reason for this is because democrats have decided that they will benefit from a lack of relief at this point remember democrats have never met a spending bill they don't like except for this one because the spending bill that they don't like is the one that would presumably help trump have a possibility of winning re-election or help republicans who are in very contentious senate races there are a lot of very close senate races around the nation right now so combine the alarmism that democrats are performing about covid and the possibility of a second wave in new york new jersey with their unwillingness to push forward relief and it's pretty obvious what is going on here people are playing politics the media are helping out by immediately running headlines about how the republicans have failed here it's the republicans who it's not the democrats who are obstructionists it's the republicans who failed meanwhile the same media are pushing the idea that the virus is continuing to be a complete threat to all americans of all sorts the new york times ran with a research letter from harvard that talked about how covet 19 is quite a life-threatening disease in people of all ages that research letter from harvard found that among the 3 22 young adults hospitalized with covenant 19 88 died about 2.7 percent one in five required intensive care one in ten needed a ventilator to assist with breathing among those surveyed 99 patients three percent could not be sent home from the hospital or were transferred to facilities for ongoing care or rehabilitation the study quote establishes that covenant is a life-threatening disease in people of all ages okay now the reason that this study is incredibly stupid is because of course number one the people who are young that you are talking about are largely people with pre-existing conditions over one-third were obese one quarter extremely so roughly one in five had diabetes one and seven had hypertension but more than that you're talking about the number of people who got covet who were then hospitalized you're talking about a subset of a subset of a subset you're like young people who got coveted were then hospitalized for covet and who had pre-existing conditions yes it turns out that a disease can be very dangerous to people who are already hospitalized but the question is how many of those people are actually hospitalized in the first place when you're talking about young people the answer is not very many young people are not being hospitalized at a at a high rate when it comes to covid19 but again there's a narrative that is attempting to be driven by the media and that is covet is an ever-present threat particularly to everybody in the united states including young people this is an anti-data perspective it's the reason why the ap ran a story yesterday suggesting that three teachers had died because schools reopened none of the three teachers actually died as a result of contact with students so you're just seeing alarmism in the media combined with democratic intransigence on providing any sort of relief before the election the conclusion they want you to draw is that this is an unchecked pandemic about which the federal government is doing nothing and that of course is donald trump's fault now this has been driven forward of course by trump's foolhardy decision to speak with bob woodward and then say on tape to bob woodward that he downplayed the pandemic as i said yesterday the narrative that is being driven by this is actually not true so the narrative that the democrats are trying to drive is that trump lied people died right the trump knew full well in early february this thing was airborne and super dangerous way more dangerous than the flu and then you lied about it for months okay this assumes a level of knowledge and intent on the part of president trump that i think is utterly not in evidence as bob woodward himself recognized the reason he didn't report trump's comments at the time is because he didn't know whether trump was puffing or knew what the hell he was talking about because literally no other health official was saying that this thing was airborne and multiple times as deadly as the flu in early february that was not a thing that was being said okay nonetheless jonathan carl of abc news questioned trump about that yesterday said why did you lie to the american people and as we'll see the biden campaign is already running ads on this why did you lie to the american people and why should we trust what you have to say terrible question and the phraseology i didn't lie what i said is we have to be calm we can't be panicked i knew that the tapes were these were a series of phone calls that we had mostly phone calls and bob woodward is somebody that i respect just from hearing the name for many many years not knowing too much about his work not caring about his work but i thought it would be interesting to talk to him for a period of you know calls so we did that okay so again why would you speak to bob woodward because you thought it was interesting like this is just setting a trap for yourself and then yesterday of course trump then talked about how much tv he had watched which is always a bad look in the middle of a pandemic or a presidential election he talked about all the shows that he had watched over the past 24 hours which of course provided fodder for joe biden i watch some of the shows i watch liz mcdonald she's fantastic i watched fox business i watched lou dobbs last night sean hannity last night tucker last night laura i watched uh fox and friends in the morning you watching shows you don't have to go too far into the details they cover things that are it's really an amazing thing okay so as you will see this became fodder for biden ad again the entire biden campaign is predicated on the fact that he can stay in his basement and just rip on trump and the media will do his heavy lifting for him because when he steps out of basement things get very ugly for him we'll get to joe biden in just one second first let's talk about how now is not a great time to go to the auto parts store in fact as it turns out never is a great time to go to the auto parts store you're gonna go there it's gonna cost you too much money they're gonna have to order the part online anyway they might offer you an upsell based on whether you are a commoner or whether you are an auto parts pro instead why don't you just go check out rockauto.com it is much much easier than walking into a store and someone's manning quick answers to things like is your odyssey an lx or an ex and then they usually just have to order the part online anyway and they upcharge you for it instead go directly to the source with rockauto.com rockauto.com will always offer the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do i spend up to twice as much for the same parts like say you happen to need a delphi fg 1456 fuel pump assembly for 2005 to 2010 honda odyssey and it cost like 354 bucks at a big chain store that is the kind of thing you could get at rock auto for 217 bucks rockauto.com is a family business that serves auto parts customers online for 20 years go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers best of all prices at rockauto.com they're always reliably low and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers why spend up to twice as much for the same parts the rockauto.com catalog it is unique it is remarkably easy to navigate they have amazing selection reliably low prices all the parts your car will ever need check them out at rockauto.com head out head out to rockauto.com right now see all the parts available for your car or truck and write shapiro in there how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent you again right shapiro and they're how to hear how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent you okay so joe biden his entire campaign has been predicated on orange man bad and he continued that trend yesterday he put out an ad about trump why is trump watching so much tv and again all trump has to do is not right all trump has to do is not just deprive biden of the air and biden will keel over politically speaking that because once he actually has to talk as we'll see joe biden gets himself in all sorts of trouble all sorts of hot water anyway here is the biden out against trump watch some of the shows i watched liz mcdonald she's fantastic i watched uh lou dobbs last night sean hannity last night tucker last night laura and then it runs the counter of us yesterday versus minutes of tv watch and then it concludes minutes of television watched 480 u.s coveted deaths yesterday 1176 now i have a question if trump were watching less tv would fewer people have died the answer of course is no but again this is this is trump kind of shooting himself in the foot now the reason i keep saying that trump has to avoid giving biden this sort of air this sort of oxygen is because when biden is deprived of the trumpian oxygen upon which he lives he heals over so yesterday joe biden had a rough day in terms of interviews there's a reason that on 9 11 he has decided he's not going to politics he says he's pulled all of his ads i've seen no evidence he's pulled all of his ads thus far on 9 11. he says he's not going to do any interviews today which maybe that's about 911 or maybe it's about the fact that he doesn't like doing interviews i mean the past several days he has done like one interview and it went really really poorly in any case here's how the interviews went yesterday for joe biden so in the middle of an interview he mocked trump over trump making claims about biden's health and he lost his train of thought in the middle of mocking trump for going after his mental health here is joe biden wandering off into the into the blithering wilderness i mean this idea of you know slow joe i anyway i i shouldn't laugh about it because uh anyway donald trump uh just look at us both watch us and determine whether or not you think um i'm misleading anyone not you perturb personally but the public you know look at me judge me based on i know what the job takes um yeah slow joe why would they call me slow joe uh what was over here is there pudding uh uh is it early bird time yeah that's that's a good look hey bret bear ask biden spokesperson because this has come up recently whether biden is using a teleprompter during interviews because there's an interview that he was doing uh with uh some labor union in which somebody asked him a question and he literally says in the interview i want you to scroll up okay now as somebody who operates with a teleprompter right i don't use this teleprompter on the show i'll tell you exactly when i use the teleprompter okay the only time i ever use the teleprompter on the show is if i'm reading an ad which you'll know or if i'm making a pitch for the subscribers which you'll know or at the very beginning make that little intro at the beginning of the show that's the only time i use the teleprompter all the other times i'm not using the teleprompter i'm just staring into camera and when i do interviews i'm not using the teleprompter either because during interviews that would be incredibly distracting and very weird no one uses a teleprompter during interviews that's called cheating right you don't do that but joe biden's spokesperson was asked whether biden uses a teleprompter during interviews and he has literally no answer it's it's very very awkward stuff has joe biden ever used a teleprompter during local interviews or to answer q a with supporters brett we are not going to engage this is this is straight from the trump campaign exactly they're using it and what it does and what it does brett is it's trying to distract the american people i'm just they're using it they talk about it every day can you say yes or no that's because they talk about it every day brad because they don't have a coherence well you have an answer yes or no brett they talk about it every day because they don't have a coherent argument for why donald trump deserves re-election deserves four more years we know that he lied to the american people we know that he has not uh shown leadership during this crisis and they are desperate to throw anything they can against the wall to try to distract from that fact i understand but you can't answer the question correct correct because the fact is that joe biden is using teleprompter during interviews because he is in declining mental health we all know this his decline is obvious to everyone and that's why his interviews are going really really badly so he did an interview with jake tapper yesterday in which he he did a bunch of stuff that really was not beneficial to joe biden so he suggested that um he tried to deny trump credit for renegotiating nafta so he had said over and over that he wanted to renegotiate nafta they never did it and tapper was like well trump did it shouldn't he give him credit and biden's like no and tapper looks at him incredulously it's pretty amazing tv now when you ran for president and when barack obama ran for president you both said you would renegotiate nafta you didn't he did does he deserve credit for that no i think we remember he didn't he wasn't the one that pushed that particular one the past the house amended the bill you renegotiated nafta and you didn't is the point i mean because we had a republican congress that wouldn't go along with us renegotiating it but doesn't he deserve some credit for that it's better the usmca is better than nafta it is better than nafta um so um yeah yeah that pause from jake tapper is everything like can you believe this guy it's pretty it's pretty amazing so good stuff right there from dubai and speaking of good stuff from joe biden he also said that it was not a bad idea to give china most favored nation status when it came to world trade which is
