 Later we'll conduct a question and answer session and instructions will be given at that time. Looks like we're starting again. If you need assistance during the call, please press style then zero. I would now like to turn the conference over to Jen Saki. Please go ahead. Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us on this snow day. And we wanted to ensure we held the briefing today to of course keep our street going and ensure we were being transparent and open as possible to all of you. And we have a couple of questions you have on a daily basis. And as we like to do, we have also secured an excellent policy advisor. Today we are joined by Homeland Security Advisor, Deputy National Security Advisor, Liz Scherwood Randall. She will discuss the administration's continued efforts around the winter storm impacting Texas, Oklahoma, and other states in the Central United States. And then she has time to take just a couple of questions before she needs to get back to her day job of monitoring the storm. But a little background on Liz, before I turn it over to her, she was the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Energy from 2014 through 2017. Earlier in the Obama administration, she served as White House coordinator for defense policy countering weapons of mass destruction and arms control. Hey, devil's advocate. Prior to that, she was Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European Affairs at the National Security Council. In the Clinton administration, she served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Ukraine and Eurasia. And she began her career working for then Senator Joe Biden as Chief Advisor on Foreign and Defense Policy. I'll turn it over to Liz. She'll take a couple of questions. And then I will do a briefing after that. So Liz, the floor is yours. Guys, after this, I'm going to hang out and talk for a while. Hello to everyone. I'm sorry we can't be doing this in person. As we in the White House have continued to monitor the situation with the extreme weather in the South, I'm glad to share an update with you on what we've been doing. And to provide you with some context for the beginning of this. They're getting ratio pretty hard here, you can see. The municipal storm system began to bear down on the South. I reached out last weekend on behalf of the President to Texas Governor Abbott. And then on Monday also to Louisiana Governor Edwards. Robin Spielman. Hello. I.V., Mississippi Governor Reeves, Oklahoma Governor Stitt and Kansas Governor Kelly to offer any federal assistance that the governor might need to help their citizens get one of those gaming chairs. But we anticipated to be the brutal sucks of the gathering. I have to like sit up in it. My posture is terrible. Then on Tuesday, February 16th, President Biden called a broader group of governors and there's been extensive follow up with respect to those governors conversations with the presidents on specifics they discussed during that call. Hello to Twitch and D live and Facebook as well. To Governor Abbott's request for a federal emergency declaration, Oklahoma Governor Stitt submitted a request yesterday and it was approved last night for a federal emergency declaration. And late last night we received a request from Louisiana Governor Bell Edwards and FEMA is processing that request as we speak. The president's actions authorized FEMA to provide immediate assistance Devils advocate. Absolutely suffering that's being caused by this emergency. And let me just note there is a silver lining to the very dark cloud of COVID, which is that our FEMA teams have been deeply embedded for quite a long time with morning Robert emergency preparedness and response agencies across the country and in this affected region. Yeah, I didn't expect this to be audio only guys. So I apologize for that in needing to work these issues now because we're trying to do these every Thursday on COVID response this morning. I was also in touch with the leadership of FEMA also with the Department of Energy and our private sector partners in the electricity sector. Hey, thanks Robert. I appreciate you watching that. More that we can do to provide support for our citizens across the swath of territory. Ed Zurich. Hey, thanks buddy. I really appreciate it. We know that there's still about a million or more people who are experiencing power outages in the hardest hit areas of the country. So those numbers are declining significantly. Yeah, we can talk about some of this stuff after the press conference guys if you want to. Millions of people without power now to approximately 600,000 at the last data point that I received from FEMA earlier this morning. It's important to set expectations, however, that due to the nature of the storm. Citizens will continue to experience rolling power outages in some communities. And that's just part of the process of trying to get power online and to get it delivered where it needs to go. Yes, but why FEMA is providing generators to support. What I can guarantee you is that once they start getting questions about this, none of this will put, none of them will put air or the turbines on the chopping block because they're really, they really are what's to blame because Texas would have enough power otherwise. Water treatment plants and hospitals and nursing homes. We're getting snow here too. Again, also providing blankets and meals and other supplies as requested by the governor of Texas. I want to express our deep thanks to all of the brave first responders who've continued to deliver essential aid to those in need in these very difficult circumstances. There are many infrastructure workers who are responding under extraordinarily challenging conditions to restore energy and water systems. And there are lots and lots of citizen volunteers who selflessly extended themselves to help others. We are urging all people affected by the storm to listen to public officials to take precautions, to stay indoors, not to get on the roads unless they absolutely have to. I'm just going to step back and make a couple more observations, which is that more broadly- Here's what I'm dealing with right now as far as that goes. We've had tons of snow. We're getting more today. Do yet again demonstrate to us that climate change is real and it's happening now and we're not adequately prepared for it. And in particular, power- Oh, it's climate change. Overloaded by the demands that are placed on them under these circumstances and the infrastructure is not built to withstand these extreme conditions. If they're talking about Texas, that's because they never get weather like this. It's very rare. Occasionally it happens. Going forward, we will be leading an effort to strengthen and harden our critical infrastructure so that it can be prepared to meet the full spectrum of challenges that we're likely to face in the future. We know that we can't just react to extreme weather events. We actually need to plan for them and prepare for them. The snow is privileged because it's white. Technology, innovation, and close collaboration among the federal, government, states, communities, and the private sector that enables us- Yeah. How often have we been told that weather is not related to climate change? When the weather doesn't go along with their narrative on the climate, they say, oh, it's got nothing to do with it. But then a regular storm happens that would happen any other time. And they're like, oh, that's because of climate change. How convenient. Us to incentivize the kinds of actions that need to be taken to build critically- to build the kind of resilient infrastructure that we will depend on in the future. Resilience, yes. Like the wind turbines. And it's demonstrating his commitment to serve all Americans in these difficult times. Working across the states of the south to deliver any federal support that is requested by the leadership of those states. Thank you. And now I'm glad to take a couple of questions. Yes. Questions. Here they come, guys. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a question, please press one then zero. Oh, God, this is- Press one then zero. One moment for the first question. I have a question. I have a bunch of questions. I don't want them answered immediately. Who is your daddy and what does he do? I'm a cop, you idiot. Hey, Smoke Steve, what's up, buddy? Your line may be open. I'm not sure, Art, do you want to let them know who you- Yes, I am. One moment. One moment. Well, I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it to the stomach and break your goddamn spine. Zeke Miller, you're open. Please go ahead. Thank you so much for doing the call. In terms of- can you give us a rundown of the resources that BM has sent to Texas, the number of generators, the number of meals for any sort of data you have on that? Well, I'm going to pause this. We're talking about hardening the grid. What role does the federal government have in making the Texas grid more resilient given that it is largely separate from federal oversight? Also here, see, the media is already setting up the narrative that the government is the savior here, that the only reason this is happening in Texas is because there's not enough regulation, guys. If the government would have handled this, no problem, because they have such a good track record of doing that, right? It's this evil private business that caused this. Not the fact that they never have ice storms and they rely too much on wind power, which is the problem. Start with FEMA. The update I have from FEMA this morning for what it has provided to Texas is, as I noted, it has moved water, blankets, shelf-stable meals, and generators and fuel to help respond to this event. Specifically in Texas, it has made 60 generators and fuel available to support critical sites like hospitals and water facilities. It has moved in 729... Don't you just love how the media and Democrat administrations coordinate on narratives like this so they can reap maximum political benefit from it? So you just get storms that are normal when ice and snow storms that are normal in the winter, but then they frame them as something that's way outside the norm and then they can shove their policy through by scaring everybody. They do this on a lot of different things. You notice this exact same pattern. I've talked about it before. 9,729,000 liters of water, more than 10,000 wool blankets, 50,000 cotton blankets, and 225,000 meals. And it's also deploying additional capabilities that we need to... Yes, hit that Like button, guys. ...trying to be posture for additional demands that Texas may place. An additional request that Texas may express to FEMA for needs that FEMA can respond to. Check out Smoke Steve's channel. He does a regular stream every week. Fuel oil and diesel oil, if necessary, to power facilities in this emergency. To the question about the Texas grid, you're right, the Texas grid is islanded. That's it, islanded. That is a deliberate decision that was made by Texas. But I do think, going forward, there's an important conversation to be had around how we can enhance the resilience of our critical infrastructure to meet the needs of all our citizens. For now, we're focused obviously on these days. Has anybody even heard the word wind turbine yet, or over-reliance on wind power? I haven't. These days, the future will give us an opportunity to... See, these people aren't at all interested in actual solutions. All they're interested in is propping up their narrative and their agenda. It just reminds me so much of the Soviet Union. You know, it's such a failure. Everything they do is a failure. And a lot of it's because they can't admit the truth and they're always propping up these lies. It's just that this is my concern going forward. People say, oh well, it's good because the Democrats are going to go crazy and then there'll be a whiplash. Oh yeah, you think? Or will they just have scapegoats already set up to blame? They have full control of the flow of information now. To conduct that discussion at the federal, state, and local level. Thanks. Thanks. We have Jennifer Jacobs, Bloomberg News. You're open. Hi. Thanks, Liz. The Texas governor has ordered gas producers in Texas to sell the product within the state, effectively barring export and potentially jeopardizing foreign allies that are relying on those supplies. It raises some commerce clause questions and issues under the Natural Gas Act. Is there anything you can say about the fine administration? Is it okay with all that? Yeah, we're going to talk about rush, guys. We're aware of the decisions of the Texas state officials. This is an authority that is a state authority. Stick around when this is over. We're going to keep going for a little bit. And we're in discussion with our Mexican partners as well as with the state officials around the decision that the state officials are taking. Yep, Gwen Castle. That's exactly what they're going to do. That's what they're doing. Ken Thomas, will you please press 1-0 again? These laptop questions. And while we're waiting for that, this will have to be the last question Dr. Sherwood Randall needs to go back. The last question, guys. Well, we'll invite her back when we are all back in the briefing room. Ken, you're open. Please go ahead. Here's my question. What's your evidence that any of the weather that's actually happening is really more severe or way down after we were told they were going to increase. They were like, oh, no, no, it has nothing to do with climate change. You're open. Please go ahead. Do you remember that? Dr. Sherwood Randall, what additional steps can the federal government take to relieve the power grid in Texas? I understand that the energy department could use some kind of emergency authority to connect Texas to the national grid. Is that under consideration? So that is actually not something that is physically feasible at this time. We have already seen the energy department take the decision to enable Texas to use generation capabilities that otherwise would be constrained by regulation having to do with what is emitted by those sources of supply. Trust the plan. Stop it. Don't come in here with that. For pollution we can generate sufficient power absolutely. We're going to talk about rush in just a minute when this is over. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Sherwood Randall for joining us. We appreciate you taking the time out of a very busy week for you and we look forward to welcoming you into the briefing room next available. Thank you. It was a pleasure to be with you. Thank you. Bye-bye. So I ask you just more additional updates to provide all of you and then we will take as many questions as we can in the time allotted. First, the federal government is also monitoring the weather's impact on our vaccination efforts. We are experiencing delays in COVID-19 vaccine shipments and deliveries. CDC and federal partners are working closely with the jurisdictions as well as manufacturing and shipping partners to assess weather conditions and to help mitigate- Stephen Hayes, I am. They're right over there actually on my shelf. Our COVID response team is in constant communication with our officials hearing about what's going on on the ground. By doing so- I turn around to show you, but if I do that- The extent we can to address- Everything is so precariously placed. This week we've already had and will continue to field many one-on-one calls, correspond to email and conduct new meetings with states, tribes, territories and key partners to remain in close contact about our vaccination efforts and the impact of the storm. We're also working with our partners to move up scheduled deliveries whenever possible and to surge shipment operations through the end of the week into the weekend. We're in conversation about extended hours and additional appointments- Mail bar. Yeah. Exactly. As soon as the questions get uncomfortable I'm out of here. Stable and equitable as possible through this program and we continue to monitor, work closely with jurisdictions and pharmacy partners to achieve that goal. And I would expect tomorrow that when you all have your- one of the three weekly updates from the COVID team, they will provide a more extensive update on this and also answer any questions you have about the work- You predict my channel will be continuously growing? It's not growing. It's pretty much been stopped in its tracks for the last year. I'm going to keep going though until they ban me. LB, hey, no problem. If I didn't do it I would go insane. I'm going to keep going. Fling persecution. I just want to quickly say that she put that caveat on it at there at the end of fleeing persecution. I don't know why I'm trying to think of when people come into the country there's word for it, my brain is blank. Why no video? I don't know why there's no video. But they can't come here like that and claim what's the word I'm looking for? My brain has just gone blank. I'll come back to this. I'll circle back. Modernizing it as long overdue the system. Refugee status. Refugee status. So we can finally get this done. I also wanted to note So quickly, she said that we need to address the root causes of that. Very small percentage of people that come to this country seeking refugee status meet the requirements and Obama even admitted that way back when his regime was going on. So what Trump had done was got them stopped at the Mexican border where we could then try their cases to see if they could get refugee status. And most of them don't even show up for their courts. So what the Biden administration has now done is wiped that out and they're just back to flooding in and tons of people getting refugee status that don't actually meet the requirements. If you're coming from a poor country that even if it's a violent poor country with gangs and stuff, guess what? That doesn't meet the criteria. To get refugee status you have to come from an oppressive government that has targeted you for some sort of a trade that you can't change. That's clear. So anyway... Steven. Smoke, Steve, maybe. It's been hard since I had... since we got the baby. That's why I've been doing it in the afternoon. But I'll try. I might do it tonight. I'll take your questions. I want to ask a bunch of questions like... I want them answered immediately. Really, my wife is doing pretty much all the work with the newborn. I just have the other two rug rats, so... What is she even saying? Thanks, Bob. I'll try. You should see our eyes for it. You should see our eyes for it outside. My daughter and I built an eyes for it in the backyard. It's a little igloo. Thank you, Sarah Khanna. Come with me if you want to live. Do you have the Uzi 9mm? Oh, my God. Flash poll. Number one for yes, two for no. How many of you think the press is going to ask a question about Biden's response to the question on the CN town hall about the Uighur Muslims in China? How many of you think he's going to get a tough question about that to Jen Psaki from the press after this? One for yes, two for no. Sarah Khanna, you're on something. I think you're right. The flash poll is pretty predictable. Let's see what happens. Let's take your questions. We always love follow-ups, but we want to get to as many people as possible. Always got to be the rebel. As a reminder, if you have a question, please press one then zero. Once again, if you have a question please press one then zero. Zeke Miller with Associated Press, you're open. Hi Zeke. Oh Zeke. Press one zero again. You might have took yourself out. Hi Zeke. We all get along so good. Best buddies. If you're still on, please press one zero. Zeke is falling asleep. Zeke probably had a question about the Uighur Muslims, so they're like he's got technical issues. And we'll move on. Jennifer Jacobs. Bloomberg News, please go ahead. Another Bloomberg News. Hi. But we're trying. Question about reports on the recovery package. Being about $3 trillion for jobs and infrastructure as part of the President's Build Back Better Program is the $3 trillion about in the ballpark that you're talking about? Well Jennifer, let me first say that right now the administration's sole priority our sole priority is getting the American Rescue Plan passed. Which means getting shots in the arms of the American people. Oh God, stop saying shots in the arms. Scares the kids. I would not expect the President or any of us to lay out next pieces of his agenda until that package is through and signed. I love kids more than anyone else. But what I can confirm for you is that there are discussions that are on billing about the President's agenda looking ahead. No final decisions have been made and we're certainly not at the point where we are either finalizing or... Downvote their stream. Not mine. Upvote this one. But downvote their stream. It's up to 2.3K. God, this sucks. Absolutely, Melba. Saracana. When she talks, she sounds automated and I'm tired of the term shots in the arms. Yeah, it is a weird term. I agree. Coran Drake said I like getting updates about Hong Kong. Me too, man. They got that American spirit there. They have it more than Americans do. Wow. This is what... I think you're right about them making these incredibly boring so nobody watches them. Guys, go back and watch. Get on YouTube when you're done here. Look up press conferences with George W. Bush through the years. Like Dana Perino. The media were like bloodthirsty, right? It was like just like the way they were with Trump. Yeah, watch the Democrat administrations. It's all like, we're all a bunch of buddies. We're not coming after you because we all agree. Are we waiting for somebody to ask a question or are we having a technical issue? God, this is terrible. Oh God, she's just going to end this without taking questions. I think we're having a technical issue. Give us a second. Thank you. Our next question will come from the line of Andrea Shalala of Reuters. Please go ahead. Hi Andrea. I'm curious about getting a little work to ask you a little bit more on the technical infrastructure but I'm getting an echo. Oh God, this is terrible. Guys, stick around after this because we're going to talk a little bit. I'll probably bring some of you into Discord if you would like to chat in Discord chat. I'll post the link. If one of my mods can post the link to Discord, that'd be cool. So my question is what we just heard about the forthcoming efforts to shore up the infrastructure grid in Texas. Do you have any idea whether that will be included in the recovery package that you're talking about? Would that be a separate measure? Do you have any kind of sense of the price tag? What are these questions? I just have a separate question on the COVAX effort. There is a waiver that has been proposed by India and South Africa that would temporarily suspend intellectual property protection to ensure that vaccines can get to places in developing countries. Is that something that the United States supports? There aren't questions about America that you can ask. I understand this is something that doesn't need to be asked now. See, this is the difference when there's a press conference during a Democrat administration. All they're really looking to do is make that administration look good. So all the questions are going to be geared towards that. They're not coming looking to get gotcha questions and to make the administration look as bad as possible, which is what they were doing when they were resisting the last four years. I like to repeat this over and over, guys. This isn't new. This has been the pattern going back as long as I've been paying attention to politics, which goes basically to the Clinton administration. And I'm telling you every administration you know it's going to switch. They're going to go, and it's just like the fact checkers. The fact checkers are when a Democrat gets caught in the lie, the fact checkers and the media all run to their defense trying to like add context to it or to spin it so it's not a lie. Whereas when it's a Republican, all that they want to do is remove any context and just call them a liar. So, yeah. That we're just seeing now in Texas. And whether that is already part of the recovery what you're thinking about the recovery plan, whether it'll be folded in, and if you have any estimates of what specific components of the recovery infrastructure. Fascinating. Well, I would first say that again, our sole priority right now is getting the Americans rescued. Hey, I agree. There are still more work to be done on that front. We are, we have our foot on the gas and we are remaining engaged with Democrats and Republicans on the hill about moving that forward. It is not on the President's desk, it is not signed and it is not, that relief is not in the hands of the American people. At the same time, there are ongoing discussions internally and with stakeholders in consultation about what the agenda looks like what the President's agenda looks like. See, it's just, if this were Trump still in, you know that they'd be just going off about it. Like, oh, it's not, you're not getting enough shots in the arms of people and you know, they'd be going off, but in this case it's all kid gloves. Man is passed. In terms of your question about Texas, as Dr. Sherwood Randall conveyed, clearly, you're all alone. Marty Peterson, everybody's in YouTube pretty much man. Take a look at how we protect and support critical infrastructure across the country including our national energy grids and ensure that we are better prepared in the future. There's plenty of time to have that conversation. Right now our focus is on working every lever that we have at our disposal through the federal government to get relief to the people of Texas. So I don't have anything to preview for you other than to convey that our focus is the that is what we are putting our internal and interagency efforts on. And then, can I just go up to the president? We asked Governor Abbott to try to stick the facts in the cause. What? I apologize, Andrew. You're kind of coming in and out. Can you just start that again? I heard Governor Abbott but I didn't hear the rest of the question. It's not like she was launching an attack for her. We asked the president to Governor Abbott to stick the facts on the cause. The president spoke with Governor Abbott I believe it was two days ago and conveyed his commitment to helping utilize the resources available from the federal government to help the people of Texas. We are engaged at many levels as Dr. Sherwood Randall conveyed with governors, with members of their teams with FEMA, with local authorities to ensure that relief is getting you into the right hands and into the right communities. But I don't have an additional call to read out for you now. Thank you. That question sounded like the reporter was kind of launching an attack on Governor Abbott. C. Cortis of CBS News, please go ahead. Hi, Jen. Hi, Jen. How are you? Thank you for doing this remotely. My first question is about the yen. I'll see you later for drinks. The immigration bill. I know you addressed this a little bit yesterday but just a White House take on the pros and cons of passing parts of the immigration plan instead of doing it in one fell swoop a number of these congressional Democrats seem to be very open to the possibility of doing it in a piecemeal fashion. Sure. Well, first, the bill being introduced today is much of President Biden's vision which includes addressing some key components of what he feels needs to be modernized in our system including providing an earned tax citizenship which includes of course streamers responsibly and effectively managing our borders investing in smart security and addressing the root causes of migration from Central America. He feels these are each of these components are vital and imperative to address our Democrats held in the common they do immigration system because Democrats think there'll be a new pool of global voters years is no stranger to the process of a bill becoming a law and he is looking forward to working directly with members hopefully both parties of immigration is not a rose she say apparently they were snowed in there and they're having a snow day or something so that's why they're doing the audio only all too familiar or very familiar with the fact that a bill proposed is typically not look like the final bill signed but it is just being formally proposed today we're eager to work with Democrats Republicans yeah Steve that's my thing it's like I want immigration and I want people to come here but at the same time we have tons of problems in this country like why that we can't handle like why are we adding more people more poor people to the to the mix that it seems all planned to me it seems like they're doing it on purpose that has been voiced by some House Democrats like Henry Cuellar that if you put out something this ambitious this early that it's first going to motivate a surge of migrants to try to come here exactly open up president Biden to attempt by Republicans to try to paint him as soft on immigration well so they're already like she's already pre defending Biden from attacks that he's soft on immigration illegal immigration board a immigration bill on its first day in office just reflects his own commitment to modernizing an outdated system and also taking every step he can to move forward thanks everybody for being here hit that like button come hang out with us in discord if you want that's not that's not a position or an approach that's being done for a political prism but through a moral prism what is right for the country what is right for the millions of immigrants who are living in the shadows and frankly what is right for our security at the border and what is right for addressing the root causes that that led to the crises at the border that you guys want to join a chat I'm going to have a little call in or something after this and you guys can chat with me on the stream we will continue to convey and repeat from the fact that this is not the right time to come we have not we don't have the systems in place we don't have the policies in place we don't have the laws in place or the processing in place at the border to consider a wave of people slaying their country this is a priority we are eager to get it through and we are also going to take additional steps as you've seen from the Department of Homeland Security and their efforts to increase processing through executive action more executive actions don't you love how popular executive actions are with the democrats in their media now but when Trump was president they were dictatorial it's different when they do it get that through your head I miss Kaylee too this might be a good one for doing this two questions related to the disaster relief aid and then something on another topic I guess we can take them separately to make this easier is there a federal assistance or aid available to municipalities who previously paid or paying high gas prices for natural gas or does that assistance depend on a state request for instance the state of Missouri would they have to make that request for a municipality on a related topic Alicia would Randall had mentioned a request from Louisiana for disaster relief aid but what about the other states that have been affected and whose governors the president spoke with earlier this week such as what disaster are we just talking did something happen I don't know about we're just talking about snow and ice storms during the winter right snow and ice storms are common during the winter again it's this idea that they're going to make things that are common seem like they're outside the norm weird federal level to do exactly that we have been sharing with all of you our engagements on a daily basis so you all are kept abreast of those conversations but I would certainly point you to some of the state governments on what their needs are and requests and what they've been requesting specifically of the federal government to ensure it's helping provide the assistance to the people in their states that's needed during this difficult time of the storm it's an excellent question about municipalities I will have to follow up with our homeland security team on that specific technical question a good one but maybe we can connect you with them directly after the briefing she's trying so hard and it's a nice circle back the vice president said today that she views the number of women leaving the workforce as a national emergency does the president share the vice president's view on that and if so does he plan to make a national emergency declaration and take action to address the declining number of women in the workforce aside from the stimulus package that he's presented to congress well Francesca first say that this is something the president and vice president have discussed and he has raised with in a number of meetings I have been in with him his concern about the impact of the dual crises of COVID-19 and the economic downturn on women in the workforce as you well know it is not women who are leaving the workforce now why are they leaving the workforce in future years if there are women taking themselves out of the running for moving up the corporate ladder out of the running for seeking PhDs for getting law degrees you know women taking themselves off of the front lines of essential industries like healthcare work that has an impact of course on gender equality it also has an impact on the economy so the men should be quitting their jobs I mean is that what they're saying that the women should be quitting it should be the men I don't get it like people can choose to do what they want they can leave their job like I don't what does this even mean this is weird key components in there some are meant to help address exactly this crisis including funding to reopen schools as a mom myself I can confirm for you that the fact that schools still need additional resources to reopen obviously the CDC I mean you see what I mean they're saying that's a problem that women are leaving the workforce I'm sure there's a lot of men leaving the workforce but like if it's an issue of that they're leaving it because someone's got to be home with the kids or something like that then if it wasn't the women it would be the men leaving the workforce so would that have been a better scenario like I don't suppose to be like really scared because it's women doing it I mean women tend to be the mothers and they tend to be the ones that will stay home I mean but all they're concerned about is that some women may get out of the running for CEO positions or something that's just their priority seem really whacked the severity of this crisis the impact on women that's part of the reason why he why there are some of these key components in this package and he certainly agrees with the vice president's assessment he agrees that it's a national emergency a national emergency an emergency and a crisis Francesca but I think we're going to have to move on because why would that be a national emergency and we'll certainly connect you with on the municipalities question thanks John that's just like a weird please go ahead Marxist question thank you for doing this so on the immigration bill you know obviously front burner for you guys right now all these people care about are people not who aren't Americans that's all they care about on the decision to introduce this today you know why now while there's clearly a higher priority for you guys as it relates to Congress and then secondly you know there isn't much in the way of new funding for border security and enforcement in this bill I'm wondering if the president is open to increasing funding for border security including for more wall or fencing construction in order to get this bill there well first let me say that the president introduced or I should say announced his plan to introduce this package to work with Congress to introduce this package on his first day in office see the reporters question is from the democrat point of view it's like why are you doing this why aren't you doing this what we want you to do it's not like an objective question it's a partisan question move forward like suggesting that whatever the Republicans want screw that who cares about border security we want you to focus on this on our our effort to get the American Rescue Plan passed and as you all know Jeremy and many people on the phone know there are negotiations that will need to happen there was a reset that was really needed to get this bill discussed and negotiated and that is what our effort is to do here as you know Representative Sanchez Senator Menendez are starting this process and we certainly are eager to have many more co-sponsors Republicans join that given that this has historically been an issue Democrats and Republicans are committed to there is of course funding in here one of the key components of the bill is investing in smart security outside our force of entry this is riveting actually effective the funding the entire strategy of the last four years was to to do funding for a wall that was not effective in securing our border was not effective in providing a pathway to citizenship obviously was not effective at addressing the root causes how could that possibly be walls are only effective if Democrats use them to wall around the Capitol that's the only time they're effective apparently that's introduced today we're supportive of that and we'll look forward to working with Congress the walls around your house yeah those work too but not those walls on another topic because Trump built those walls so they don't work Sanchez threatened to move a possible vaccination clinic after facing criticism from some county officials he threatened to move it to another county would that kind of action by Governor Sanchez or any other governor affect government shipments of vaccines to Florida and prompt the federal government to take oversight of vaccination deliveries and administration in the state well first let me say that our efforts to vaccinate get 100 million vaccines in the arms of America get them in the arms and exceed that goal is not shots in the arms and we certainly would not support any effort to their next their next slogan will be that they need to get shots in the faces of Trump supporters or I'm sorry white supremacists the decisions of their leadership so no I would not see us us taking action in those in that along those lines we have increased as you know Jeremy the shipments to states by 57% not a critical question yet pointing out that vaccines are being distributed in Florida but of course states across the country you know if this was a Trump press conference every question would have been ultra critical and hyperbolic and over the top and partisan in this case not a single one our next question will come from the line of Nikki Schwab of Daily Mail please go ahead hi Jen can you hear me I can great just wondering if the president has any reaction to these reports that say Senator Ted Cruz Buddha can tune and did this giant winter storm in the home state of Texas well I don't have any update see one critical question it's critical of a Republican nor does anyone at the White House but our focus is on and and working directly with leadership in Texas and the surrounding states they get a critical question it's about the Republican who has no power essentially many people across the Democrats control everything without the resources they need and we expect that would be the focus of anyone in the state or surrounding states who was elected to represent them but I don't have any update on his whereabouts our next question will come from the line of Joey Garrison of USA Today please go ahead yeah Jen thanks for taking this call can you hear me hey how are you Republicans increasingly jumping on the reopening schools issue for the 22 they're bouncing parents children aren't in school what's your reaction to that what's pretty openly a line of attack right now oh a line of attack see the question is the defense of Joe Biden you know as you're looking ahead towards the midterm the scandal is that somebody is criticizing Joe Biden political front that no polling I have seen has shown that is effective and there was actually a pullout yesterday that showed that President Biden and teachers were the most trusted entities well gee I wonder why we obviously rely on science and rely on our health experts but the science says that schools aren't a transmitter of the virus so what science is she talking about we're also we're also committed to doing that so there are CDC guidelines that came out on Friday that provided a road map for schools to open safely the president wants schools to open my kids have been in school all year too teachers want kids to be in school and he also believes that teachers should be prioritized they don't care about science they care about what the teachers unions want there are a range of mitigation steps or I should say he follows the guidelines as we all do and should that were put out by our health and medical experts that show there are a range of mitigation steps vaccinations are one of the additional steps that the CDC is recommending but there are additional steps including masking the CDC said that schools can reopen don't you love how they pick and choose what science they want to follow school districts across the country lead that effort to reopen schools and we remain committed to that any concern about this issue though making democrats vulnerable in 2022 if it's not turned around if schools don't start reopening here in the coming months that's the problem that democrats will become vulnerable not that kids aren't getting their education or that people can't work because their kids are homeless who cares what really matters is democrat power to do it safely and the president is committed to reopening schools 5 days a week as quickly as possible unbelievable the media is just trash and working with school districts I just can't say that enough our media is a disgrace of the highest order they're a disgrace within his power we are working with congress to get additional funding I hate what they've done to science that they can follow and take these mitigations it's a new religion for them smaller class sizes that there are more like most religious people they're very hypocritical about their science religion something he's focused on every day and night so that we can open schools open them 5 days a week within 100 days and that's where it focuses I see that's a political prism kids are not democrats or republicans and their parents I think this is an issue that all Americans care deeply about thanks Jen thanks Jen do I get my cookie, don't be cookie our next question will come from the line of that was pathetic wow hi Kayla hi Jen thank you for doing this hi Jen I have two questions the first is on the economy this week we saw retail sales and inflation data that were unexpectedly strong I was going to talk about that the size of the rescue package and whether 1.9 trillion dollars would as some critics say overheat the economy and then my foreign question which I'll just go ahead and ask is that Iran has said it will stop allowing SNAP inspections by the IAEA beginning on Monday in the interim step toward full compliance does the president see this as motivation to engage with Iran sooner rather than later well let me take the second question first engage with Iran Iran is a long way from get stuck in the butt that's what you mean our focus is on working with our partners and allies flash poll 1 yes 2 no will Iran get a nuclear weapon no matter what happens a new deal that we get with Iran through the Biden administration will they get nukes yes or no I say yes absolutely that meeting but certainly our focus is of course on preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear deal a long way from compliance and our focus is also on working with our partners and allies I don't believe that they don't want them to get a nuke on the economic question I don't want to say something here about that I don't necessarily think that the left that Democrats don't want Iran to get a nuke I think they do want them to get a nuke because if you remember back during the Clinton administration Madeleine Albright one of her big things was that she wanted to see other nations rise up as leading superpowers and that the U.S. would take a back seat that's something that they wanted for a long time for whatever reason and it just seems like we're kind of working towards that and to help expedite that and that is part of what this package will do by providing direct release to the American people by reopening schools working mothers and parents across the country by getting vaccinations it makes sense if you consider that we've already been taken over that we already been infiltrated and it's already over without a shot fired on that and that we still have a long way to go in our recovery so it is essential at this point in time thank you appreciate it sure our next question will come from the line of Peter Alexander of NBC news please go ahead hi Peter thanks for hosting us sorry we can't do it in person you sort of hit on this a bit but I just want to sort of drill down a little bit on the immigration announcement today and what specifically is the strategy for this White House to get this immigration bill passed right now will you bring Republicans here to engage them in the process we'll see you later man how are you going to get something this big done sure all great questions Peter I think we're not quite there because today alright guys I think I'm not going to end the stream I'm going to keep going here for a minute but I think I am going to end the Jen Psaki thing here because this is just on the hill to determine in coordination with us the next steps it's just they're not asking anything interesting like it's all just talk about what is in the package why the key components and they don't care about Americans they care package and in terms of the they don't care about Americans so much as they care about other countries other countries people coming to our country and the benefits that we're going to give them they care about that and then they care about people losing their power in as much as it helps them to get more government power bigger government so I'm not stopping the stream or two more questions and we'll of course do this again tomorrow but I just have a bit of a heart out coming up but go ahead whoever's next our next question will come from the line of Matt Visser of the Washington post please go ahead I thank you for doing this in an unusual circumstance we know it's not an unusual circumstance to get snow during the winter just so we're clear it's not unusual weather conditions most of his visibility though it's been on another disaster of COVID can you highlight a little bit these people act like everything it's some sort of crisis have you noticed that has been with the natural disasters if he's briefed hourly everything's a disaster a crisis a national disaster you know why because that's how they it's the most effective in scaring people and deflects and distracts from everything that all these policies that Joe's just signed executive orders on everything else it's crazy funding states and receives updates every day but more than once a day Drake it is certainly a focus and ensuring that the people of Texas the people of the surrounding states have the resources they need is something that he raises in because we need the government to come in and have that fix it in terms of whether he will visit you know I think as you well know Matt one of the factors to consider here is what the impact is the footprint of a presidential trip it can take up resources it can take up the time and energy of police and security and so those are factors that we consider as we determine when and where he will visit but he is does receive he is in the White House today of course where he lives but he is I should say you know working today receiving updates today I expect he would receive several updates from his national security team and he is focused on and has directed his team to provide him and sure he's updated but also made rapid distortion it's the specific needs this is what they like though they like just telling the American people what to think and manipulating them and having no pushback that's what they are trying to get back to the way it used to be our next question and Q will come from the line of Mr. James Rosen of Sinclair Broadcast Group please go ahead thank you Jen can you hear me alright I can hi James Jen thanks for expanding the call today and it's nice to be back with you if only by telephone I just wanted to follow up on the comments of Liz to have the deputy national security advisor brief us on the Texas grid collapse you know it's not just the immediate logistical issues that she's grappling with I want to ask about the nexus between energy policy and national security as you know Republicans in Congress and in the energy sector have been pointing out that according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration one of the core benchmarks of energy independence in 2019 that was the first year right 1957 that the U.S. produced more energy than the country consumed but they don't want to use that energy definition of energy independence and they claim or they argue that the policies being pursued by the Biden administration will sacrifice those gains how do you persuade the American people that U.S. national security can be safeguarded by this transition to a green economy that we don't have anywhere relative to exactly and there's no critical scrutiny of it you know in this way House we like to follow the facts and also rely on experts as you know and I would say that you know officials at the electric reliability council of Texas which operates the state's power grid has said that the failures in wind and solar were the least significant factor in the black out and no they weren't there has been a range of reports that are inaccurate right it's inaccurate if it disagrees with what they are saying you see as Dr. Sherwood Randall also conveyed clearly there is a need to assess how we protect and support our national infrastructure to ensure it's resilient and sustainable during storms during any threats to it and there is of course plenty of time to do that and it is a priority for this administration but right now Texas has a lot of wind power if that wind power was natural gas or oil or coal they wouldn't have had an issue they would have had the extra energy stored up that they would have needed so we will have this policy discussion but we are focused on the emergency at hand at this point in time thank you everybody so much for joining the one tough question and she's out after that oh I snorted she got a snort out of me alright well yeah get out of here get out of here hey so yes welcome back everybody I thought I'd talk to chat here for a little bit and talk about a couple of things I did kind of want to just I did a video yesterday about rush and I had to rush it I didn't have a lot of time and me and my wife just had a baby and that makes three for us and while she's basically taking care of him all the time I'm getting the other one so it's been kind of hectic around here not so easy to make videos but I did a video about how the media was attacking rush after he's dead and can't defend himself you know that's just hilarious they never were able to beat him and then he dies and then they start lovin' bombs at him when he can't come back which is pathetic very typically pathetic of them and another thing is that a lot and I didn't have time to go through all of them I used one example in my video yesterday about the phony soldiers they smeared rush in exactly the way that they do trump and exactly the way they do any prominent republican you know they oh he called this woman who was trying to push policy calling for free birth control provided by the government putting yourself out there he attacked her, he did call her the s-word which I don't think it's that big a deal look at so many other people have said much worse about us over the last four years calling us traitors and russian agents and all this kind of stuff so they go after him for that because when democrats push policy they have teflon, they always use people of genders disabilities that they can use to deflect criticism of that person but anyway, pretty much any example that they use of rush to say that he's a bigot or a racist or something like that they're all made up, manufactured taken out of context, quotes misrepresented quotes and I think that phony soldier was one of the best examples but I did just want to say that I probably wouldn't be doing this right now if it weren't for rush when I first got into rush I didn't like him, I thought I didn't anyway and then just over time I came around and he really opened my eyes to a lot of stuff and he is the reason that I'm doing this today and I knew he was going to die I always thought when he died I'd feel so lost like man, if rush is gone we're lost, we have nobody but since my fears of that decades ago a lot of other people have stepped up and have taken the mantle I know you guys, everybody doesn't like everybody that's out there but guys like Ben Shapiro Steven Crowder and they're all different Crowder is more comedy Shapiro is more hard news or however you want to look at it but there's plenty of people out there now that have taken that mantle and so it's not so dire that we've lost rush and we all knew it was coming after he got his diagnosis he pretty much came out and said that he's dying I think he even used those words but it does really suck to just see all the stuff that they're saying about him right now ABC News called him bombastic, divisive CBS called him a bigot and it's funny too because CBS when Rush dies calls him a bigot and a racist and all these things and he divided the country and he's a horrible monster but when that, what's his face the porn guy died, I can't think of his name but he was gushing over that which I found strange what was his name that's really bugging me now Larry Flint kind of a scumbag kind of a guy but I don't necessarily have any problem with him he's just kind of a scumbag but for some reason he's some kind of a hero to the left they seem to love everything that's bad for the country on the view they said that Rush Limbaugh normalized racism and hatred I don't know about you all Rush because I was like going to him for hatred or anything like that I don't hate anybody based on race or anything so it just shows they say that about literally anybody that's saying things that they can't they can't argue against it's like any kind of argument they can't beat or they are not able to convince people otherwise they just start calling you a racist and a bigot and everything else the left, they're so bad at debating that's one of the reasons they have this overreliance I just word bombs that they can lob at you so they're not so good at actually arguing let's see what we got here in the questions or in the comments and just think Rush's wife reading those attacks on her husband yeah, it's too bad but she's used to it, no doubt she's married to Rush she's used to those attacks and I do want to say when you look at it Rush was really one of the very first targets of cancel culture I mean, look at it he really was like the first one and he's kind of the first guy that they pioneered, they started a lot of these strategies for shutting down speech they don't like, you know, calling everything racist because they've got a Pepe Silva board that somehow connects your point of view to racism it's something like a say conspiracy theory that somehow links it all and that's how they call everything racist that's why I say you can't even you can't even be against democrat policy anymore and not be a racist like, I used to say you can't be against democrat policy and be white and be against it because you're racist, but now it doesn't even matter if you're not white, if you're black and you oppose them you're a white supremacist so that's how insane it's gotten here yeah, Robin said no counter argument, you're just racist, exactly and that's what really makes me nervous about what's going to happen in the schools now as I'm starting to read about schools adopting these BLM conspiracy theories and adopting critical race theory that's scary because these things are not have not been through any kind of peer review or scientific rigor nothing it's undergone no scrutiny it has undergone scrutiny, if you read into it you can find there's plenty of smart people out there warning against it it throws out the scientific method it throws out reason and logic it sees these things as western prescribed or like white supremacist logic and reason and the scientific method and sorry about that and they replace it with stories whether they're fictional or anecdotal or whatever which is why, and I don't want to go I'm going off into a tangent here, but this is why when you look at like police shootings they only report on black people being shot by white cops and even when they do that it's like it doesn't matter if the shooting was justified or not it's just the fact that a white cop shot a black guy that's white supremacist systemic racism I mean you saw it at the Joe Biden CNN Town Hall one of the guys asked him oh well as you saw these police officers weren't prosecuted for shooting Jacob Blake what are you going to do about that they weren't prosecuted because he had a knife he was just raping and assaulting a woman police showed up to lawfully arrest him because he had warrants anyway and he pulls a knife and fights the police that's why he got shot and I've talked about this before I've gone out and interviewed people at anti-gun rallies and I've asked them is there any like is there any scenario where a cop shooting a black person is justified no they don't think that they'll walk off they never answer they don't believe that there is okay guys I'm telling you they don't that's why it's just sort of this broad judgment and broad reporting of what happened details of the minutiae of why that occurred because it doesn't matter anymore this is critical race theory the logic and the reason and the looking at the data and scrutinizing it that's all white supremacist so they don't do that anymore this is why I mean I don't know what's going on in our country but it just seems like we're definitely sliding off into some dark territory here you know I don't want to get on McCarthy and say communist I have been saying communist but I don't say how you can deny it I mean the people that are driving this stuff are Marxists and communists go to look at BLM what is that in DC BLM Avenue or whatever that street is look at it, hammers and sickle flags all over it all the time so let's look at some of the you guys chatting in there nice I still got people Nate Rose minorities no believe me they know a lot of this crap oh I know it I see that's another reason that I get upset when they call this stuff racist when we take these positions and we are critical of what the stuff they say because for one I don't think it's some sort of like you know minority conspiracy or Jewish conspiracy or any of that I don't buy in any of that but there's definitely some sort of conspiracy going on I mean I don't think it's being driven by like a minority group or anything like that and I don't blame a minority group in fact it seems like it's mostly white people driving this you know the establishment powerful white folks who I don't know maybe they see something coming and they feel that they can only save themselves by joining you know if you can't beat them join them kind of a thing and then anybody who doesn't join is going to become the enemy right so I think that's where we're at now Susan Ingram says if you go to work and do your job and keep your comments to yourself you have much more respect than what color you are absolutely I agree Quarantine Dragon congrats on the new baby hey thanks man he's awesome he mostly just he pretty much just sleeps right now that's basically all he does all day all night opening his eyes a little bit during the day actually he's been waking up at night unfortunately for my wife yeah I was going to do some discord chat you guys are all in here let me unmute you and bring you all in one second hey guys hey guys hold on guys hello hello you guys hear me I am in the discord chat now if you guys want to hop in and talk a little bit hello anybody here hey what's up how you doing so what do you guys yeah I can hear you what do you guys think what do you guys think yeah I can hear you guys what do you all want to talk about I can hear you guys cool long time no talk yeah man how you doing oh they warned yeah yeah today it's funny because where I live in Ohio we haven't really gotten very much snow the last few years and I've been complaining about snow for a little bit you know it's fun for a little bit but this year my god man we're just getting hit up it's like every day we're getting snow that my daughter's already used up all her snow days yeah I don't know I hear a lot of people still talking about their kids being home from COVID-19 and still have to do distance learning my daughters have been in school the entire school year so I don't know it's weird we don't really get snow days this week they've been out they're supposed to go back on Monday spending the weather yeah you know that's same here my daughter's been in school all year and I gotta tell ya since this thing started I mean it's been annoying and we've pretty much been in the house bunkering down the whole time but we're homebodies anyway so it's not that different from what we usually do outside maybe we go out to dinner once a week or something or go to the park or whatever but it's just we don't know anybody that's gotten coronavirus we don't know anybody that's died or gotten it and so our kids are in school it just seems like it's not really happening here I don't know it's weird yeah I've been tested I think five or six times for a coronavirus now I was sick as a dog at one point and tested negative the times two times that I tested positive I had no symptoms whatsoever my aunt was actually going through cancer treatment right now at Memorial Herman over in Houston and she's been tested about 13 times yeah seven I think seven of those tests were negative and she has never had symptoms not once she's 74 she's like I said she's got thyroid cancer it's over anybody's at risk it's her she's tested positive completely asymptomatic excuse me well that well I'm sorry to hear that I'm glad that she's been good with corona yeah I mean she's she's doing a lot better she had under your heart a gamma knife she had a gamma knife procedure on a brain tumor that seemed to help quite a bit she had her thyroid removed the thyroid tumor itself was like it was going all the way down her throat and actually pressing it against her heart but they were worried that it was going to be a real in-depth surgery there where they're going to have to actually crack open her rib cage they were able to just do one incision and the whole thing came out wow that's good if you think about where the thyroid is if it was touching her heart it had to have been like 10 inches long or so it came out at once that's awesome so it could have been bad she's had some other complications come up but she had a thing called thyroid storm which I had never heard of basically because it's thyroid cancer all of the other tumors in her body which metastasized from that thyroid tumor all of those started producing the hormone after they pulled the thyroid out so she was like hyperthyroid we believe they've got then under control but now they've got to start doing target therapies target radiation on the other tumors throughout her body so she's actually recovering I mean it's going to be a long hard road but they were saying she had maybe a matter of months they're saying if she completes all this it could extend her life by 10-15 years that's awesome man hope it works out and I keep hearing all these horror stories on the news about how bad COVID-19 is and like I said if anybody should be struggling with it and hurting because of it it would be her and the other thing she had whooping cough when she was a kid so she's got scar tissue in her lungs already and COVID-19 just really didn't do anything to her at all that's wild supposing the tests were accurate you know right yeah I think we might have had it in December and my family here went before it became like a news thing yeah you know something I did want to you kind of hit on something there and I wanted to talk about the what was it he was complaining about during the question that they asked what was it dang it one of the questions was like oh since schools aren't opening now and the Republicans are promising you know what what are you going to do to protect Democrats from and like the whole question was centered around oh you know being critical of Democrats on this isn't fair what are you going to do to stop it you know kind of a thing and I just found it insane because it goes in line with like everything else we saw and like we just said our kids are in school and have been and they're just fine and yet you know you look at these jobs numbers and these states and these Democrat states I just think that's insane like Florida like DeSantis is supposedly this big villain and yet hit everything's fine there per capita death rate it's way down the list I don't know exactly where I think like 13th or something and then their jobless rates like 6% I don't know it just blows my mind she was up there talking about how we're pro science but you know the CDC has come out and said that schools can't open pro science it just really bugs me because I love science I'm a huge science lover but they have just bastardized it you know to use the advanced agenda basically yeah I'm in the same boat it drives me nuts I mean my whole life I'm like you I've always been really into science like I would watch the science channel and stuff like that other people would be watching movies and what not my entertainment was and it's like watching them claim to be the party of science and then just completely ignore actual scientists it just kind of sticks in my crawl yeah it does we got a guy arguing in the chat comments he said the founders clearly didn't think non whites were oh crap yeah my thing is like that may have been true at the time but that's just the way it was you know there's countries now that like look at Japan they may have changed their immigration but aren't they doesn't their immigration policy center around preserving their culture yeah absolutely that's not a problem right and there's lots of countries like that in the world yeah people get really outraged about what the way America was hundreds of years ago it's so odd to me almost like it's a narrative being directed at the United States for a reason sorry I was going to say if you look back to when he might be cutting out because he's in Texas he was having that problem earlier he may be falling prey to the storm but somebody brought that up a good point about that up the other day which was okay Hitler tried to exterminate Jewish people and you don't see Jewish people walking around bagging on Germans and pissed off and we're talking we're talking within a lifetime there are people still alive who lived through that and have very good reasons and the same Japanese Americans you have a lot of Japanese Americans who have very good reason to just hate the US government Americans who are you know are not some have gone and wanted you know to get property back or to get recognition for what they went through but at some point in time you want to focus on your own success in your own life and it seems like there's and I don't think it's black Americans I think it's certain groups trying to keep certain grudges alive for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with helping people it's to keep them divided or to push an agenda of some kind manipulation Japanese Americans got reparations years ago those that were in the actual internment camps you know but would you say reparations first off were they all compensated to the degree to which they feel was justified pretty sure they were you're not going to say you're not going to get every Japanese person to agree that they were fairly compensated for what happened and some of them lost property that was not recoverable I got recognition and reparations the point being at least they got something but these other people are full on psycho just wrong 40 acres in a mule you're not going to compensate people from three generations ago it's something that didn't or five generations ago not depending on generations I don't know it's too long what's happened in other countries I mean recently too like Uganda had a huge problem with they were expelling a lot of Asians they were there for generations under EDM and there's still a lot of bitterness and division in East Africa along those lines I think Americans sometimes fall under the idea that hey we invented racism no we're not even the best at it we're really just kind of the history of racism and slavery is the history of mankind you know what bothers me the most is Biden's comments about we should be okay with China because they want to be united what would happen if we opposed they went full China propaganda what if we didn't say that about Hitler because he wanted to unite him we should just let Hitler do what he wanted to do well a lot of people did say that he went I don't think we did I'm just saying that's full crap that's all I can say well yeah that's a lot of these things that we it's like there's a lot of the stuff there's not what we can do about all we can do really is like say it's there and be like yeah we acknowledge it's there but it's like what can you really do about it not a lot when they don't know it's that selective moral outrage that they seem to think people don't notice I hate to call it the left always but they do seem to have that very situation specific rage where it goes back to the science thing you must trust the science unless it relates to gender and then you ignore it you must in this particular case you must get enraged because of something a Republican did but the fact that Trump makes crass remarks he's unforgivable the fact that Biden is literally creepy he's creepy at the best in the best case you should be able to ignore yeah like he basically said with that genocide that's happening that's cool like we're cool with that because it's China that's what he said that's just their culture the Uighurs got to get in line with their culture that's just how it is yeah that level of cultural relativism is dangerous because that's saying basically if your culture accepts slavery or female gender mutilation or anything killing apostates okay well you know that's your culture that's the danger of cultural relativism anything goes yeah and I also worry about given the current climate is he not saying anything because he's about to start interning Americans you know what I mean as long as we're united as long as we're united that's their idea of unity though we're going to unify you're going to unify by crushing people who oppose you that's not unity when the rounding up starts how does it start getting people rounded up into these things I think exactly they couch it and make it look like it's some sort of like legal like it's a legal proceeding these people have broken our laws and that's why they keep repeating insurrection do you notice like where does it start does it just arrest you it starts exactly like I think if you want to see how it starts and how it progresses exactly at 1930s Germany because they're following that playbook they keep calling everybody a Nazi but they are literally doing Goebbels would blush at the things they're doing they're following Hitler's playbook and it's that idea of you do it little by little you turn people's neighbors on each other you make people who do terrible things seem like they're righteous true when do you actually get kind of like in the middle of saying you gotta go somewhere like when does that happen I think after they disarmed you step one is you take away the weapons so that you can't fight back when they come for you and I think part of it may be that that's a twofer they come to take your weapons and you either hand them over or they drag you away and if you get killed in the process well that's just yet again that's just the problem solving itself well look at that Bundy guy that was all going on remember he got shot killed by the cops see my thing is you won't get a letter in the mail or anything police will just show up and arrest you they'll serve a warrant or whatever or the FBI they'll arrest you under the laws that we passed during the Patriot Act or they'll just show up throw you in the car come from like gun registry they'll just pull everyone who owns a gun and then they all get some sort of when everybody's gun registered I mean that is part of it well each are 127 to pass well look you don't but they do look at like parlor look at what happened to parlor guys look at like parlor where they downloaded remember before it went down somebody there downloaded all the user information or whatever and so like that way they could get your information that way and then somehow loosely connect you posthumane they're also tracking people through like Bank of America has had to admit they're tracking you through where you spend your money and what you spend your money on so if you go to a rally and you buy a bottle of water that's the best part about no more cash we don't want you on cash because we can track anything that you spend money on through a credit card we can track your internet history they don't like the VPN movement because that makes it harder for them they're mapping the dark web too so that if you try to do things sort of off the grid they can still track you they don't like that idea of you having any safe space in the virtual realm any more than they like you having a safe space and look at what they were passing out look what they were sending out to parents in New York where they were sending them out these documents that basically said if you don't agree with us you're a white supremacist by default and so if the government is cracking down on white supremacists you essentially become a terrorist I mean it seems crazy but it's already surpassed way several levels of crazy like I have no trouble believing we could reach that that's part of making people do terrible things in the name of of good if you're killing a racist that's not that's not inhumane you're a good person so the fact that they're dehumanizing people on the right the fact that they're dehumanizing Trump supporters is all part of that plan same as same as the Hitler's Third Reich did you have to make your neighbor seem less than human so that you can take your neighbor out and feel good about it it's a psychological trick you have to feel good about hurting other human beings look what happened to Rand Paul look at what happened to Rand Paul with his neighbor beating him up look what happened to Steve Scalise look what happened in Portland where they shot that guy in Denver where they shot that guy these are people shooting people in the street not because they were threat but because they were the wrong kind of people both of those guys are dead now isn't that crazy that guy walked up to a Trump supporter executed him and then got to a shot out with police and he's dead hey good job media you did that Howard has a good point I think that a lot of it will come from the ISPs that too? that's why I've been pushing PPN they're letting you connect to VPNs but all they got to do is list every VPN server and then your ISP is now preventing where you can go or look at online yeah I mean all this stuff is going to happen and I think opposing this stuff it's like a Chinese finger trap that we're in right now it's like the more that we stand in opposition to things that are clearly wrong the more we fit their narrative of a monster and the people who buy into that will just increasingly look like monsters there was a Outer Limits episode like forever ago where it's like the future and these soldiers are fighting these creatures and they're like why are we fighting them we don't even really know well eventually they find out that they've been brainwashed and that these creatures are killing are just other people that are inconvenient to the government and it's like that's essentially what's happening it's right into the vaccine mutation conversation or demolition man the cuter version of that where they're basically hunting people until they're like living in the sewers because they would not unify and it was all about unity and love when are they going to come for the non-vaxxers probably soon as they can they're pushing that vaccine in a very creepy way too especially with all the side effects yeah did you guys see where I'm on the phone she's got it in the background I hear vaccine vaccine we're doing this we're doing that and it's just it's all good but if you go to VAERS and you see who's dying it's all about yeah I was going to say it's going to be part of a social credit system just like in China oh yeah did you guys see where what is it Canada where there's businesses that will only hire you you can only come to work if you've gotten the vaccine yeah you can't travel last time in the UK that's happening in the UK now they've already said it you can't leave the country we're going to allow other countries to dictate to us sorry am I it's Toronto here yeah my friend in Toronto says he got a pamphlet that says he should be just realized that because he's white he's guilty of being a racist that's what I was just talking about basically he's white he should be guilty and he's definitely a racist and he should be nice black like that's a threat they should sue over that stuff yeah if you guys aren't aware I'll see if I can find that story but yeah these schools send out these papers basically saying that there's these if you're not a white trader then you're a white supremacist essentially but there's varying levels it's complete bullshittery it's complete fuckery and it's threatening it's threatening based on race these parents if I were them I would get together and sue the shit out of them bullshit if they pull that shit here oh they're gonna have me up in their faces a lot this moment mostly only happens in predominantly white communities I live in a pretty lower socio-economic community all this stuff is fucking retarded to them I don't want to say the R word but it's stupid no it's stupid oh I know I know tons of minority black and brown people who think this is insane they think that stuff is crazy but guess what it won't matter because they in the eyes of these cultists they're white supremacists the other thing that's so funny about that is say white people truly are intrinsically evil and they're so horrible and anytime you get near us we somehow like I don't know hold you back why don't you just leave and why do people keep wanting to move to majority white countries because we are easy to avoid globally we're like a minority you can get away from us without much effort and instead people put a great deal of effort into getting to white majority countries we were really the X factor that was holding everybody back people would simply get the hell away from us and stay the hell away from us it's not a difficult thing to pull off just like the immigration you got from Central and South America like we get from Africa they got to travel through seven safe countries to get to the UK and they're claiming France is a war zone just like it's a travel through seven countries yeah I mean if you count Greece maybe Turkey, Greece Italy, Spain France maybe Serbia in between climbing up through the Alps but either way they're all safe countries and just like you get your South American lock coming through all the way to America we get it with the UK because we give them everything we give them hotels when they arrive illegally in our country we go UK alright guys I am going to have to end the stream I just heard my daughter get home from school so I'm going to have
