=== The Left's Textbook Policy (04:19) ===

[00:00:00]  That we have to pass this stimulus bill, what is it, almost two trillion dollars more?
[00:00:08]  Otherwise, think of all the hunger and pain in people's lives and unemployment, all of which was induced by Democrats much more than Republicans in lockdowns.
[00:00:21]  People will be scarred, which is true, people are being scarred.
[00:00:26]  Why didn't he speak against the lockdown in California, which prevented restaurants from functioning?
[00:00:32]  I don't know how many restaurants in this country have closed their doors.
[00:00:38]  The left always does this.
[00:00:41]  Always.
[00:00:41]  This is part of their textbook policy.
[00:00:45]  They make rules that ruin things, and then they pass laws to deal with the ruination that they brought about.
[00:00:53]  It is classic.
[00:00:55]  You know why the Republicans oppose this 1.8 trillion?
[00:01:03]  The primary reason is it's going to state governments.
[00:01:07]  They're bailing out the Democrats who ran profoundly irresponsible operations in spending money that they didn't have.
[00:01:18]  So there's no consequence.
[00:01:22]  That's the key.
[00:01:23]  There's no consequence.
[00:01:24]  It's a democratic malfeasance.
[00:01:27]  There you go.
[00:01:28]  We'll bail you out.
[00:01:30]  We'll print more Monopoly money.
[00:01:34]  Well, it's really something.
[00:01:37]  The whole thing is really something.
[00:01:38]  The time that we are in now.
[00:01:42]  Right.
[00:01:44]  Let's go to Cynthia in Palos Park, Illinois.
[00:01:49]  Hello.
[00:01:51]  Hi, Dennis.
[00:01:52]  How are you this morning?
[00:01:53]  I'm well, thank you.
[00:01:55]  I'm calling because I wanted to tell you that my friend and I, my friend Karen, my best friend, and I are planning on going with you on the Stand with Israel tour.
[00:02:05]  And my reason for going is I'm feeling very, very unsettled in my life right now with what's going on in my beloved country.
[00:02:17]  And I want to go to Israel.
[00:02:20]  To find some peace and some wisdom.
[00:02:23]  And I'm wondering how many others that listen to your show are feeling the way I'm feeling.
[00:02:29]  This loss of optimism with what's going on right now.
[00:02:34]  It's just kind of a feeling of dread that I'm sensing.
[00:02:39]  Well, I feel it too.
[00:02:42]  I don't patronize my listeners.
[00:02:45]  And as much as I put emphasis on happiness, I... How could I be happy about the left's destruction of the Tower of Liberty on Earth?
[00:02:56]  The last best hope of Earth, as President Lincoln said.
[00:03:00]  Well, I'll tell you this.
[00:03:01]  You're making a wise decision coming to Israel.
[00:03:04]  For many reasons.
[00:03:05]  One is Israel.
[00:03:06]  Another one is me.
[00:03:07]  And the biggest one is who you will meet.
[00:03:10]  Yes.
[00:03:11]  Yes.
[00:03:12]  That's what you need.
[00:03:12]  You know, it's not even not being happy.
[00:03:17]  It's just, I'm looking around and I'm thinking, what is happening to our very foundational values?
[00:03:25]  You know, what is going to happen to us as the beacon of, you know, hope and democracy around the world?
[00:03:32]  Yes, and what happens when that democracy declines?
[00:03:38]  It means that the cruel are in ascendant.
[00:03:42]  We go down, the bad go up.
[00:03:44]  Get it?
[00:03:45]  That's the way the world has been since World War II, or before World War II. I really do wonder if China attacked Taiwan if Joe Biden would go and send troops in defense.
[00:04:03]  Because that would be the ultimate statement that we don't back sovereignty of countries.
[00:04:09]  You are not sovereign.
[00:04:11]  If a big country wants to eat up a little country, We'll watch.
[00:04:17]  If indeed we would.
[00:04:18]  I'm not saying we would.
