| Okay, let's hear her. | |
| This is important. | |
| Named after Confederate leaders, but there are leaders like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson who were slave owners, and some people are demanding that their monuments come down, too. | |
| So, in your view, where does it end? | |
| Should statues, an example of George Washington, come down? | |
| Well, let me just say that we should start off by having a national dialogue on it at some point, but right now we're in the middle of a global pandemic. | |
| Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. | |
| We should have a national discussion on it. | |
| So she's not prepared to say no. | |
| Senator of the United States of America, from Illinois, whether we should tear down George Washington and Abraham Lincoln statues. | |
| Yeah, blow up the Washington Monument. | |
| These are Taliban. | |
| The left, Democrats are equivalent to the Taliban. | |
| Remember everybody got angry about blowing up the Buddhist statues? | |
| They regarded Buddhism as heretical, and these people regard the founders as heretical. | |
| I see no difference. | |
| Well, you say, well, they're not violent. | |
| Really? | |
| There's not a violent wing? | |
| Taliban had a violent wing, or was a violent wing. | |
| There's no violent wing to the left? | |
| Say, well, there's a violent wing to the right. | |
| No, there isn't. | |
| There are violent individuals on the right. | |
| Not a wing. | |
| Anyway, certainly, ideologically, they're like the Taliban. | |
| So we'll have a national discussion. | |
| That's all she says. | |
| Now she goes on to what the president should have talked about. | |
| Go on. | |
| At some point, but right now we're in the middle of a global pandemic, and one of our allies, one of our countries that are opposed to us, Russia, has put a bounty on American troops' head. | |
| What really struck me about the speech that the president gave at Mount Rushmore was that he spent more time worried about honoring dead Confederates than he did. | |
| Okay, that's a lie. | |
| He did not worry about dead Confederates. | |
| They didn't say anything about it. | |
| Is that correct? | |
| I mean, I just want to bounce this off Mr. Truth. | |
| The living martyr is Mr. Truth. | |
| I'm sorry? | |
| Talked about Lincoln. | |
| They say anything, because truth is not a left-wing value. | |
| Next, continue. | |
| Honoring dead Confederates than he did talking about the lives of the 130,000 Americans who lost their lives to COVID-19. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| He's supposed to go to Mount Rushmore on Independence Day to talk about deaths from COVID? Okay, go on. | |
| ...or by warning Russia off of the bounty they're putting on Americans' heads. | |
| I mean, his priorities are all wrong here. | |
| He should be talking about what we're going to do to overcome this pandemic. | |
| What are we going to do to push Russia back? | |
| What does it mean, overcome the pandemic? | |
| What is your take on overcoming the pandemic? | |
| Keep Americans unemployed for another year? |
