Speaker 1: This is the US Report with James Morrow.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program coming up tonight.
Speaker 2: Will he or won't he? The entire world waits on
Speaker 2: tenderhooks for Donald Trump's decision about whether to throw US
Speaker 2: military might into the Middle East conflict.
Speaker 1: Plus, what's the deal with this guy?
Speaker 2: Is New York City about to elect a Palestine loving
Speaker 2: socialist as mayor? Really? And it's a walkout? Democrats refuse
Speaker 2: to attend a hearing on Joe Biden's competency, So what
Speaker 2: are they worried? They'll find out? But first, the only story,
Speaker 2: really I think the world cares about right now when
Speaker 2: it comes to American politics is this, Will Donald Trump
Speaker 2: order b two bombers equipped with advanced bunker busting bombs
Speaker 2: to take out Iran's nuclear weapons facilities very deep Undergrod
Speaker 2: beneath the mountains of four tod Oh, Well, it looks
Speaker 2: like we are going to be waiting a little bit
Speaker 2: longer to find out. Hours ago, the president's spokeswoman, Caroline
Speaker 2: Levitt said there was now going to be a two
Speaker 2: week deadline allowing Iran to decide whether to come back
Speaker 2: to the negotiating table.
Speaker 3: Have a look, I have a message directly from the President,
Speaker 3: and I quote, based on the fact that there's a
Speaker 3: substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take
Speaker 3: place with Iran in the near future. I will make
Speaker 3: my decision whether or not to go within the next
Speaker 3: two weeks. That's a quote directly from the President.
Speaker 1: Two weeks.
Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to be left to negotiate
Speaker 2: by then, but the word is that the Trump White
Speaker 2: House is still trying to weigh up all the different
Speaker 2: factors when it comes to that be two strike, what
Speaker 2: could go wrong, what might come next? And will an
Speaker 2: American action possibly make things worse? If and if I say,
Speaker 2: if this is the thought process that is going on
Speaker 2: in the White House, well, you know what, I think
Speaker 2: that's probably not a bad thing. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: hot rhetoric around this right now, and Donald Trump should
Speaker 2: not be allowed to be baited into action, but instead
Speaker 2: think long and hard about what happens if the US
Speaker 2: jumps in, what the consequences might be, And again that
Speaker 2: all important question with every Middle Eastern endeavor, what comes next?
Speaker 2: Because personally, I think that for far too long now,
Speaker 2: this whole debate has been boiled down to a simplistic binary,
Speaker 2: and particularly over the past few days in particular, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yes, no black white.
Speaker 2: But this sort of thinking, in this sort of situation
Speaker 2: is not helpful, not when there are so many other
Speaker 2: possibilities in the cards.
Speaker 1: What something else could happen?
Speaker 2: Will the Iranian regime of Iatola Commany collapse of its
Speaker 2: own accord? Could its surrender? Will the Mulas decide to
Speaker 2: flee to some other country, like maybe Russia? Or will
Speaker 2: they be deposed like say the dictators of Eastern Europe
Speaker 2: were at the end of.
Speaker 1: The Cold War. Will they come though.
Speaker 2: As Trump suggests, to negotiating table and agree to demands
Speaker 2: they drop their nuclear weapons program and be allowed to
Speaker 2: keep control of Iran? And of course there is the
Speaker 2: biggest question of all, if they go, who would take over,
Speaker 2: either by force or of their own volition. Now I
Speaker 2: ask all these questions for a very simple reason. I
Speaker 2: want to make the point that the whole will he
Speaker 2: or won't he do it? Question is so much more
Speaker 2: complicated than pretty much everyone in the media has been
Speaker 2: portraying it. If you ask me, a lot of people,
Speaker 2: both outside and in the Republican Party or its various factions,
Speaker 2: have been using the question as a way to split
Speaker 2: the right. I mean, ask yourself this, over the past
Speaker 2: few days, how many articles have you seen in the
Speaker 2: news pieces on TV, especially in anti Trump newspapers and
Speaker 2: news outlets, gleefully talking up division between MAGA Republicans on
Speaker 2: one side and other conservative or neo Kon Republicans on
Speaker 2: the other. Well, probably quite a few. Because of course
Speaker 2: this is not helpful, so allow me to suggest this instead.
Speaker 2: Reports of a conservative MAGA split have been at least
Speaker 2: somewhat exaggerated. Basically, and here's a quick summary. The MAGA
Speaker 2: wing of the party, the hardest of the hardcore Trumpers,
Speaker 2: are saying to the president, don't do it. We do
Speaker 2: not want to be in in any foreign conflict.
Speaker 1: We elected you, mister.
Speaker 2: President, on a promise that there would be no more
Speaker 2: boots on the ground in places like Iraq or Afghanistan,
Speaker 2: and the MAGA cru they have a point. I mean,
Speaker 2: the post nine to eleven invasion of Iraq, well we
Speaker 2: know that was based on a live stap was saying,
Speaker 2: didn't have WMDs.
Speaker 1: He certainly didn't do the.
Speaker 2: Attacks and the occupation of the country was botched from
Speaker 2: the get go because contrary to the assertions of some
Speaker 2: of the Bush administration, we were not welcomed as liberators,
Speaker 2: and of course we all know what happened, and I
Speaker 2: get why people in this camp are feeling like they're
Speaker 2: a bit burnt by all of that experience. Meanwhile, more
Speaker 2: traditional Republicans, conservatives, and the dreaded Neokans, well, they have
Speaker 2: a different view. The dispute was sort of encapsulated this
Speaker 2: week a verbal paunch shop between Senator Ted Cruz and
Speaker 2: podcast hosts Tucker Carlson. Now here's a bit of what
Speaker 2: went down as Ted and Tucker went head to head
Speaker 2: about whether Tucker's mind change on Iraq, which he supported
Speaker 2: at the time, has made him too timid about using
Speaker 2: American force today.
Speaker 1: Look, I will say this, and look, I believe you're sincere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm.
Speaker 2: God, I'm just some guy watching trying to figure out
Speaker 2: the right thing from America. And I think because you
Speaker 2: believe you are mistaken, and I agree previously, I think
Speaker 2: you've overcorrected.
Speaker 1: Over corrected.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about turning this mess in Iran into a
Speaker 2: much larger mess.
Speaker 1: That's the concern, and that's a reasonable worry. Look, I
Speaker 1: know it's reasonable.
Speaker 2: But the whole thing descended into farce when the two
Speaker 2: men got into a fight over, of all things, the
Speaker 2: size of Iran's population.
Speaker 1: Okay, see top of their human by whatever means? What
Speaker 1: happens then? How many people living around? By the way,
Speaker 1: I don't know the population at all. No, I don't
Speaker 1: know the population. You don't know the population of the country.
Speaker 1: You seek to topple? How many people living around? Ninety
Speaker 1: two million? Okay? How could you not know that? I
Speaker 1: don't sit around memorizing population tables.
Speaker 2: Really, seriously, this is what we're fighting about, stupid debating
Speaker 2: points about Iran's population size. Look, this is all too
Speaker 2: important for dumb gotchas like that. So let me jump
Speaker 2: into all of this and suggest that there is a
Speaker 2: way that we can square the circle here. Yes, there
Speaker 2: are a lot of war cheerleaders out there on one side,
Speaker 2: and frankly some but not all, of those on the
Speaker 2: anti war right. Well, they've got some odd ideas too,
Speaker 2: some of them about Israel that that might be more
Speaker 2: at home at you know, Harvard, if you get drift.
Speaker 2: But the polls are divided, though This New York Post
Speaker 2: polling suggests that actually MAGA may be more okay with
Speaker 2: strikes on Iran than perhaps that Tucker exchange suggested, And personally,
Speaker 2: I think that's right, because here's the thing. If you
Speaker 2: are truly about America first, that does not mean that
Speaker 2: you never use American power, particularly against a state like Iran. Now,
Speaker 2: putting aside Israel's war with Iran going on right now,
Speaker 2: the fact is the Iranian Islamic regime is a nation
Speaker 2: that from its very inception at its revolution, has been
Speaker 2: at war with America, storming the American embassy in nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy nine and holding sixty six Americans hostages for four
Speaker 2: hundred and forty four days. In the years since that,
Speaker 2: there have been countless attacks on Americans, both civilian and military.
Speaker 2: Iran has also conducted targeted assassinations and even yes, tried
Speaker 2: to kill President Donald Trump, and Newsweek fact checked this,
Speaker 2: so you know it's true. Now to my way of thinking,
Speaker 2: if you are America first, well, these guys in Tehran
Speaker 2: they're not your friend. But let me also add a
Speaker 2: little wrinkle to this because there's that whole question of
Speaker 2: what comes next that I mentioned a few moments ago.
Speaker 2: I mean, we want to know will the regime collapse
Speaker 2: of its own accord. This is important.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: A little while ago, Crown Prince Raza Pahlavi of the
Speaker 2: Iranian royal family that was deposed in the revolution, well,
Speaker 2: he was on Fox and here's what he had to say,
Speaker 2: and it was pretty interesting.
Speaker 4: The latest support that via Padmarta, is that the control
Speaker 4: apparatus of the regime is almost collapsing, and we see
Speaker 4: more and more of that sort of reports that are
Speaker 4: coming to us from personnel within the military or inte
Speaker 4: Just that says so that it's really falling apart much
Speaker 4: faster than it was, let's say, last week. And hopefully
Speaker 4: at some point the world will say now it's time
Speaker 4: for us to step in and allow for this process
Speaker 4: to take its natural course. Help me running people overcome
Speaker 4: this regime.
Speaker 2: So there's that possibility again that maybe in this two
Speaker 2: weeks something else happens in Tehran and the question of
Speaker 2: bombing Foordo becomes moot. But Palavi also said that he
Speaker 2: hoped that it didn't come to Trump having to bomb
Speaker 2: I Ran, and he hoped that there was enough damage
Speaker 2: done to the regime without having to take it to
Speaker 2: that next level. And in doing so, he offered himself
Speaker 2: up as a figure who could help the nation emerge
Speaker 2: from the crisis.
Speaker 4: I don't think I need a title to perform as
Speaker 4: a transitional neither. I think the reason people are looking
Speaker 4: for me, for me to play that role is because
Speaker 4: of their confidence in me. That trust in me, and
Speaker 4: I think to a great extent, the track record that
Speaker 4: I've demonstrated in the past forty four years since I've begun,
Speaker 4: and that trust in me allows me to play that
Speaker 4: national liberal role if you will, and be able to
Speaker 4: be the element that miss assembles people together on a
Speaker 4: common agenda, knowing that we might differ in opinion, but
Speaker 4: you are committed to the democratic outcome.
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff, and I'd rather him than anyiatola running the
Speaker 2: show in Tehran. But anyway, look, let's get on with
Speaker 2: the show. But I think that whether or not Trump
Speaker 2: decides to bomb Fodoh, one thing remains absolutely clear, and
Speaker 2: that is whether you were Mega America first or a
Speaker 2: Ted Cruiz neocon. The Iranian regime must fall, whether under
Speaker 2: its own weight or because it was given a good
Speaker 2: old push, Because think about what happens if they survive.
Speaker 2: If the Mullas are allowed to continue their reign of
Speaker 2: ten rror and oppression. Even without nuclear weapons, they will
Speaker 2: still be able to say to the world, Look, we
Speaker 2: stood up to the little Satan that's Israel. We stood
Speaker 2: up to the great Satan that's the United States, and
Speaker 2: they backed down. They will say while saying that we survived,
Speaker 2: we are the future the United States, Israel, Western civilization. Well,
Speaker 2: they're yesterday's news, and that, my friends, is why. Whether
Speaker 2: you are Maga or neo Khon, well, that is bad
Speaker 2: news for America and her allies. All right, let's get
Speaker 2: right into it right now with Fox News contributor and
Speaker 2: Washington Examiner columnist Joe Conscient. Joe, thanks so much for
Speaker 2: joining me. There's so much happening with this Iran situation
Speaker 2: with the Trump administration. I've got a lot of people
Speaker 2: asking me here in Australia, what is the hold up now?
Speaker 2: Two things I'm hearing about are the concerns that if
Speaker 2: they topple this regime, it could wind up looking like
Speaker 2: Libya did after Benghazi. And there's also concerns that these
Speaker 2: bunker busting bombs might not be strong enough to do
Speaker 2: the job to get into this mountain complex where the
Speaker 2: Ranian enrichment is taking place. Joe, what's the latest and
Speaker 2: what are you hearing about the thought processes around the
Speaker 2: Trump decision making.
Speaker 5: Well, when I talked to the people within the Trump
Speaker 5: administration off the record, of course they will say that
Speaker 5: this is a wait and see approach. In other words,
Speaker 5: let's see if the Israelis can do the job for
Speaker 5: us as far as taking out Iran's nuclear capabilities, which
Speaker 5: they've done a great job to this point. It's been
Speaker 5: let's put it this way. You guys don't really watch
Speaker 5: football over there. I guess you watch soccer, but rugby.
Speaker 5: I guess if I were to use a proper term
Speaker 5: for Australia, they're up nine to nothing right now, right,
Speaker 5: it's a nine to nothing game, and the Israelis have
Speaker 5: shown that they control the skies over Iran. Iran's air
Speaker 5: force is non existent, and therefore they could just pick
Speaker 5: and choose what targets they want to go after, especially
Speaker 5: ballistic missiles. When they're fired, they know exactly where they're
Speaker 5: being fired from. They could take out those sites and
Speaker 5: that's why less and less missiles are being fired at
Speaker 5: this point. So to your question, can we take out
Speaker 5: in terms of Israel the United States ultimately Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Speaker 5: The answer is, we just don't know. It's very deep.
Speaker 5: As you said, into mountains, you need bunker busters. Can
Speaker 5: it happen. But if you disable it enough, I would
Speaker 5: think that the Iranian regime would want to negotiate and say, Okay,
Speaker 5: obviously this is something that we can't defend. Therefore we're
Speaker 5: going to go to the negotiation table and say, all right,
Speaker 5: what can we do here as far as not surrender
Speaker 5: per se. But at the same time, we don't want
Speaker 5: to see the rest of us killed. And that's what's
Speaker 5: going on now at this point because the Israelis have
Speaker 5: taken out so many top officials and have taken out
Speaker 5: so many facilities that they've shown clearly they're winning this
Speaker 5: war right now?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean almost. The question is who's left
Speaker 2: to negotiate with if they do come back to the table.
Speaker 2: But what about the domestic politics of this, Joe, because
Speaker 2: we're seeing here an awful lot of this split between
Speaker 2: the kind of the conservative and neo coon wings of
Speaker 2: the Republicans and the Mago wing. Now it feels to
Speaker 2: me like a bit of this is being played up
Speaker 2: by people who don't like Donald Trump to make it
Speaker 2: look like this is splitting the conservative movement and the
Speaker 2: right in America. What's your read on this and how
Speaker 2: much is the White House looking at the politics of
Speaker 2: this domestically when they make a call about what to
Speaker 2: do here.
Speaker 5: The read at this point is that basically there is
Speaker 5: no split. In other words, what we're seeing is that
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is saying, Okay, if you are Benjamin and
Speaker 5: Yahoo and you want to take out all these facilities, fine,
Speaker 5: no problem. And what we're hearing from Tucker Carlson, for example,
Speaker 5: my former colleague, or you know, others that say they're
Speaker 5: in the Magga you know, Maga movement, saying that Okay, well,
Speaker 5: you know this is too much and we shouldn't be
Speaker 5: doing this. Well, most if not all, of people that
Speaker 5: voted for Donald Trump are all for this. If you
Speaker 5: could take out Iran's nuclear capabilities, and that's the whole
Speaker 5: ballgame right now, can you take out their ability to
Speaker 5: blackmail the Middle East and therefore the world in terms
Speaker 5: of having a nuclear weapon? Would you take that chance
Speaker 5: right now? And I would say that ninety ninety five
Speaker 5: percent of people that voted for Donald Trump would say, yes,
Speaker 5: let's do this now. They are weak. Israel's doing a
Speaker 5: great job. If we have to finish a job in
Speaker 5: the United States, then so be it. But I don't
Speaker 5: think this is really like this big fifty to fifty
Speaker 5: split that some of the media are saying. It's more
Speaker 5: like a ninety split.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, And I think that if you're America first,
Speaker 2: I think a pretty America first thing is making sure
Speaker 2: that Iran doesn't have those nuclear weapons. But meanwhile, let's
Speaker 2: talk about the Democrats for a moment, because as the
Speaker 2: media tries to split the right, the Democrats have some
Speaker 2: very big problems of their own. Now again, if you'd
Speaker 2: listen to the media, you'd think all the momentum was
Speaker 2: with the left after those No Kings protests. I mean, hey,
Speaker 2: that's what CNN told me. But I noted today that
Speaker 2: the New York Times is reporting that the Democrats are
Speaker 2: out of money. They're out of cash, They're desperate for
Speaker 2: financial infusions. What's going on, Joe has all their USAID
Speaker 2: money dried up?
Speaker 5: That's the funny thing, right you hear about the No
Speaker 5: Kings protests, or Corey booker twenty five hours filibuster on
Speaker 5: the Senate floor, or all the Elon Musk protests that
Speaker 5: we saw earlier this year, and you hear like, wow,
Speaker 5: the resistance is really gaining a momentum, It really is
Speaker 5: taking on strength. And then you see that the fact
Speaker 5: that no one is donating to Democratic Party to the
Speaker 5: point where they may not be solvent in two weeks,
Speaker 5: three weeks a month.
Speaker 4: So that's the thing.
Speaker 5: Democrats are not offering any solutions in terms of what
Speaker 5: they would do if they were in power, to make
Speaker 5: the country better, from an economic perspective, from a foreign
Speaker 5: policy perspective, from a crime perspective, from an immigration perspective.
Speaker 5: So you can't just resist. And if you have the
Speaker 5: far left of the party showing up to these protests,
Speaker 5: well great, that's nice. But in the end, are they
Speaker 5: bringing in independence or disgruntled Republicans to say, all right,
Speaker 5: be part of our movement. The movement is to basically complain,
Speaker 5: sound and fury about nothing, but at the same time
Speaker 5: not offer any solutions or proposals that the American people
Speaker 5: can embrace. So that's why the donations are drawing up.
Speaker 5: And that's why the Democratic Party, because it has no leader.
Speaker 5: Who's their leader at this point is a Kamala Harris?
Speaker 5: Is it avin newsom is it, Tim Walls. That's the
Speaker 5: question of this point, And those are your three choices
Speaker 5: that ain't good.
Speaker 2: That ain't good for you. But you know you mentioned
Speaker 2: resistance there, Joe, And I've noticed this phenomenon here. We
Speaker 2: saw Democrat Alex Padilla making it all about himself trying
Speaker 2: to get arrested there. He's called President Trump a tyrant
Speaker 2: this week in the Senate. But this performative arrest movement,
Speaker 2: it seems to be now a feature of Democrat campaigns,
Speaker 2: with one of the candidates for New York mayor also
Speaker 2: getting himself handcuffed for the cameras, protesting Ice or acting
Speaker 2: like idiots. These guys are basically the slip and fall
Speaker 2: accident guys of politics, now, aren't they.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a rest porn is what I'm calling it
Speaker 5: at this point, because it's who's the next Democrat who will?
Speaker 5: Oh boy, the cameras are rolling, and I guess I'm
Speaker 5: going to obstruct Ice in terms of their job. Therefore,
Speaker 5: if I get arrested, I'll go on CNN, I'll go
Speaker 5: on MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post will run these
Speaker 5: glowering reviews of me. By the way, all these people,
Speaker 5: whether it be the Comptroller of New York, whether it
Speaker 5: be Alex Padilla, the Senator of California. They've been fundraising
Speaker 5: off of it ever since. So now the question is
Speaker 5: who's next will be AOC, will be Corey Booker. This
Speaker 5: is the thing now with the Democratic Party Resist, Resist
Speaker 5: by the way, who they're protecting those who came to
Speaker 5: this country illegally and also are criminals who have raped, murdered,
Speaker 5: and actually child molested people. If that's your position, you're
Speaker 5: not going to win any elections anytime soon, but it
Speaker 5: will get you on MSNBC. But that's not the goal
Speaker 5: now at this point.
Speaker 2: Defending child molesters. That's a hell of a platform there,
Speaker 2: Joe Concer, we're going to have to leave with here.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining me from New York.
Speaker 5: Thank you appreciate it. Have a good night.
Speaker 2: Well let's bring in my next guest here, commentator and
Speaker 2: author of The Children We Left.
Speaker 1: Behind, Adam B.
Speaker 2: Colemyan Adam, thanks so much for coming back on the
Speaker 2: US support. I want to start out talking about some
Speaker 2: startling but maybe not so startling news that was revealed
Speaker 2: this week, and that was that internal FBI emails revealed
Speaker 2: that rogue, and I use that word advisedly, agents and
Speaker 2: prosecutors within the Biden Department of Justice kept looking for
Speaker 2: new ways to pile on new and more criminal charges
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump over the January sixth Capitol riot, this
Speaker 2: time over his involvement with the j six prisoner choir,
Speaker 2: based on a single partisan news article. Adam, you know,
Speaker 2: I know we keep talking of a lot about on
Speaker 2: this program about what happened during that Biden administration, but
Speaker 2: I feel like it's important to understand just how undemocratic
Speaker 2: the Democrats and particularly people who were running that White
Speaker 2: House really did seem to be acting. What was your
Speaker 2: reaction when you heard about this news.
Speaker 6: I wasn't shocked at all. Every conspiracy, every conspiracy that
Speaker 6: was out there as far as the Biden administration going
Speaker 6: after Donald Trump, just about all of them. It turned
Speaker 6: out to be true. The very thing that they were
Speaker 6: saying that Donald Trump is going to do in the government,
Speaker 6: they were actually doing themselves. They're projecting onto the Trump administration,
Speaker 6: onto Donald Trump himself, as this terrible character who get
Speaker 6: in in a position of power and abuses authority. Meanwhile,
Speaker 6: we're uncovering now that Joe Biden is probably the worst
Speaker 6: president at least in my lifetime. We're uncovering that, essentially,
Speaker 6: Joe Biden is exactly the guy that he was warning
Speaker 6: America about.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad, Adam that you mentioned the word projection,
Speaker 2: because I do believe that that is the key to
Speaker 2: understanding so much of what the left is all about.
Speaker 2: But what we're on the subject of the former president,
Speaker 2: it does seem that the Democrats still cannot come to
Speaker 2: terms with this whole question of his mental decline. Here's
Speaker 2: one of our favorites from this program, been Crockett describing
Speaker 2: her relationship with the former president.
Speaker 7: Have listened to this, I never saw anything in Joe
Speaker 7: Biden that made me wonder whatsoever. Even if you're saying
Speaker 7: that there was a mentally deficient Joe Biden, I know
Speaker 7: that he absolutely had a mental acuity that is supreme
Speaker 7: when it comes to comparing him to Donald Trump, because
Speaker 7: at least he kept good people around him.
Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing she preave about Joe Biden
Speaker 2: is maybe he had about the brand of a supreme pizza.
Speaker 1: What did you make of that one?
Speaker 6: So she's it sounds like she said in her bets
Speaker 6: on one hand, she didn't say anything. On the other hand, well,
Speaker 6: if it did happen, it wasn't that bad, but it
Speaker 6: was bad enough for every Democrat to get behind and
Speaker 6: force Joe Biden to step down from running for president.
Speaker 6: But you know, she's the most apparently most oblivious woman
Speaker 6: that exists in America who doesn't utilize all of her senses,
Speaker 6: or at least one of her senses, her eyes to
Speaker 6: see that Joe Biden is falling off his bike, falling upstairs,
Speaker 6: and constantly asleep and when he's in meetings and muttering
Speaker 6: like of course, he has a mental decline. And I
Speaker 6: actually have some empathy towards him because I don't think
Speaker 6: he was all there in the first place, and he
Speaker 6: had people who are around him who are enabling him
Speaker 6: to move forward consistently. So more people in the Democratic
Speaker 6: Party should have actually been looking out for Joe Biden
Speaker 6: instead of using them, but they tossed him aside when
Speaker 6: it became too obvious that he couldn't move forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Adam, I mean, on this program we use
Speaker 2: the phrase elder abuse an awful lot during the term
Speaker 2: of his administration. But you know, let's move on to
Speaker 2: the Democrats still today. And one of the things that
Speaker 2: strikes me here, Adam, is that Democrats do not have
Speaker 2: any sort of positive message that would make people want
Speaker 2: to vote for them and inspire them. I mean, you've
Speaker 2: got Donald Trump and he wants to make America great again.
Speaker 2: But instead of saying America was already great, Ilhano Omar
Speaker 2: is here explaining that America is well one of the
Speaker 2: worst countries in the world.
Speaker 1: Have a look at this.
Speaker 8: I grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even
Speaker 8: remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy,
Speaker 8: a peakan of hope for the world to now be
Speaker 8: turned into one of the you know, one of the
Speaker 8: worst countries where the military are in our streets.
Speaker 2: Ah, the gratitude of Ilhanomar coming over to the United
Speaker 2: States at the age of eight from Somalia, which apparently,
Speaker 2: you know, the United States is now just as bad
Speaker 2: as I mean, look, that's pretty horrendous stuff. But how
Speaker 2: are mainstream voters ever supposed to connect again to a
Speaker 2: party that thinks there's no difference between the United States
Speaker 2: and Somalia.
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously this is a winning message. I mean,
Speaker 6: what proud American loves to hear that the United States
Speaker 6: is just as bad as her former nation of Somalia.
Speaker 6: I mean because there are men in fatigues who are
Speaker 6: standing by enforcing our laws and doing it in an
Speaker 6: honorable manner. So these are people. Ilan Omar is someone
Speaker 6: who is obviously anti American, who aligns interests elsewhere and
Speaker 6: not with the American people, who more so aligns with
Speaker 6: an ethnic culture that is from abroad and not with
Speaker 6: a melting pot like America is. As a child of
Speaker 6: an immigrant, you know, I am proud to be born
Speaker 6: into this country. My father who came to this country
Speaker 6: came here for a reason, just like Ilehano Omar came
Speaker 6: to this country for a reason. But she also wants
Speaker 6: to crap all over the country that took her in
Speaker 6: as a refugee. There is something incredibly ungrateful that is
Speaker 6: coming from her mouth, and most Americans would basically take
Speaker 6: that stance. You came from a place where you were
Speaker 6: being oppressed, that you were left behind to come to
Speaker 6: our country and crap all over it. This is where
Speaker 6: people say, you know what, go home.
Speaker 2: Now, it's time to hit a quick break. But first
Speaker 2: we all know that Woopy Goldberg is fundamentally deranged. Sorry,
Speaker 2: there's no other word for it, and that the show
Speaker 2: she stars on, the View is ground zero for some
Speaker 2: of the worst talking points imaginable, like you know, the
Speaker 2: idea that being a black multi millionaire celebrity in America
Speaker 2: is just as dangerous and oppressive as being a woman
Speaker 2: or gay in Tehran. Yeah, she said it roll the tape.
Speaker 8: But let's just remember too, the Iranians literally throw gay
Speaker 8: people off of buildings. They don't have to sert a
Speaker 8: basic human.
Speaker 1: Listen, here's the thing. Let's not do that.
Speaker 9: Let's not do that because if we start with that,
Speaker 9: we have been known in this country to tie gay
Speaker 9: folks to.
Speaker 1: The car where hey, I know, but where they are
Speaker 1: just black people. So it is not even the same.
Speaker 1: I couldn't. No, that's not what you mean to say.
Speaker 1: It is the same.
Speaker 8: No, it's not. The year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5: The United States is nothing like if I step foot
Speaker 5: wearing that's a younger interact.
Speaker 3: I think it's very different to live in the United
Speaker 3: States in twenty twenty five than it is to live
Speaker 3: in Iran.
Speaker 1: For everybody, not every black, anyone else.
Speaker 2: Want to take up a collection to said Whoopy Goldberg
Speaker 2: to Teyron and see how she goes anyway? Who knows
Speaker 2: what wasn't of you supposed to tone down the politics,
Speaker 2: That's what I remember. I guess Whoopy didn't get the
Speaker 2: memo and Whoopy do. We'll be back after a short bag.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program man. In a moment, I'm
Speaker 2: going to be joined by Kelly Jane Torrets, who is
Speaker 2: going to tell us all about the Israel hating Muslim
Speaker 2: socialist candidate for mayor in New York City who is
Speaker 2: actually in with.
Speaker 1: A chance as the old hometown lost his mind.
Speaker 2: We'll find out soon enough, But first, the reverberations from
Speaker 2: last week's No King's marches are still vibrating around the place,
Speaker 2: and I have been trying to figure out what about
Speaker 2: this movement really bothers me so much? And then it
Speaker 2: struck me all the lefties out there protesting in the
Speaker 2: No King's movement, well, they aren't against kings. They're simply
Speaker 2: mad that the so called king isn't one of their own.
Speaker 2: Because I was thinking about this, who can forget how
Speaker 2: when Barack Obama was president, the left wanted to turn
Speaker 2: him into a wise, benevolent philosopher king and imbue him
Speaker 2: with behaviors that had someone suggested them for Donald Trump, well,
Speaker 2: they would have screamed that this was all democracy dodging tyranny.
Speaker 2: Back in twenty fourteen, NPR, recently defunded by the House,
Speaker 2: enthused about Obama using just two tools to get his way,
Speaker 2: not the Constitution in the legislature, but a pen and
Speaker 2: a phone. Then in twenty twelve, CNN said that liberals, yes,
Speaker 2: the left, wanted Obama to be a king, not a president.
Speaker 2: Some went further. Newsweek equated Obama's presidency to the second
Speaker 2: Coming of Christ. Hey, what's a little sacrilege between friends?
Speaker 2: And of course there were all these images to designed
Speaker 2: to make Obama look like a long suffering saint, something
Speaker 2: out of an Eastern Orthodox icon. I suppose, So you know, honestly, guys,
Speaker 2: I say this to you on the left. If you're
Speaker 2: going to go out and protest Trump acting like a king,
Speaker 2: or at least a king who's every move is thwarted
Speaker 2: by seven hundred district court judges, maybe instead you should
Speaker 2: look in the mirror.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Joining me now is a neuro Post editor at large,
Speaker 2: Kelly Jane Torrens Kelly, thanks for joining me. I just
Speaker 2: played a little while ago in the show. Here some
Speaker 2: of the comments from Whoopee Goldberg where she compared the
Speaker 2: United States to Iran and said, well, it was mutual
Speaker 2: muchness if you're a minority group. Now, I understand you
Speaker 2: have spoken to some Iranians in New York, But what
Speaker 2: they thought of the comments, I can't imagine that they
Speaker 2: were terribly impressed. But what did you find out?
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's always a pleasure to be here, James.
Speaker 9: You know, they were actually quite outraged and offended. You know,
Speaker 9: these are people who have been you know, some of
Speaker 9: them have been in jail themselves. I published a piece
Speaker 9: at the New York Post just this afternoon from someone
Speaker 9: whose father was tortured in jail and his family has
Speaker 9: been targeted since he left Iran because he speaks out
Speaker 9: against this evil regime and the idea that America is
Speaker 9: as bad as Iran for black people, as Whoopi Goldberg
Speaker 9: said on the View, is just insane. And he you know,
Speaker 9: he kind of makes some good points. Iranians kind of
Speaker 9: wish they could have the kind of problems Americans complain of.
Speaker 9: You know, fear is everywhere you know you're being watched
Speaker 9: at all times. Anything you say could be used against you.
Speaker 9: Even if you don't say something, they can just have
Speaker 9: trumped up charges. And of course there's public hangings of
Speaker 9: political dissidence to send a message to the rest of
Speaker 9: the population, don't speak out. So, you know, if whoopee
Speaker 9: would like to really know what it's like in Iran,
Speaker 9: I'm happy to pay for a one way ticket for
Speaker 9: her to check it out for herself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think a lot of people here
Speaker 2: would help crowdfund that one there, Kelly. Now, I also
Speaker 2: want to talk about, too, because I flagged this earlier
Speaker 2: in the show, the intriguing and entertaining race currently going
Speaker 2: on in New York City, which, as you know, I'm
Speaker 2: personally quite invested in. Over the who's going to be
Speaker 2: the Democrat candidate for mayor Now Andrew Cuomo has a
Speaker 2: lead over controversial mayoral candidate zoron Mom Donnie, but the
Speaker 2: fact that he has done so well and engaged so
Speaker 2: much celebrity support. He has seemingly questioned Israel's right to
Speaker 2: exist as a Jewish state, and yet or perhaps actually
Speaker 2: not surprisingly, has also been drug celebrity studded crowds with
Speaker 2: the likes of Alexandria Cagio Cortes and all sorts of
Speaker 2: people on the left. It's been this weird sort of
Speaker 2: leftist populist movement. What is going on here? Who is
Speaker 2: this guy? And have New York has lost their minds
Speaker 2: on the left that this person is even being spoken
Speaker 2: about as a serious potential candidate.
Speaker 9: Well, I have to say, James, I feel like it's
Speaker 9: really only entertaining if you don't live in New York
Speaker 9: and are.
Speaker 1: Going to true sorry, possibly.
Speaker 9: Being ruled over by one of these guys. No, but
Speaker 9: you're right, James, it is entertaining. And Zoran Mndamie, here's
Speaker 9: a guy who really has hardly worked a day in
Speaker 9: his life. He's basically has three years of job experience,
Speaker 9: and part of that was as a rapper where he
Speaker 9: made one thousand dollars. Another was scoring some music for
Speaker 9: one of his mother's movies. His mother is Mire and Naire,
Speaker 9: who's you know a director who actually interviewed once when
Speaker 9: when I was a movie critic. But he's really hardly
Speaker 9: worked a day in his life. And it's amazing.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: Bernie Sanders actually endorsed him for New York City mayor.
Speaker 9: And that's you know, a senator from Vermont endorsing someone
Speaker 9: for New York City mayor. This doesn't happen that often.
Speaker 9: And the polls still show Andrew Cuomo ahead in the
Speaker 9: Democratic primary, but Mandani's been gaining on him. The last
Speaker 9: poll I saw he was up ten points from the
Speaker 9: one before that. So it is concerning this guy. You know,
Speaker 9: he has he has such policies as he wants the
Speaker 9: government the City of New York, which as you know,
Speaker 9: is not a very efficient operation. He wants them to
Speaker 9: run grocery stores in all five boroughs.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 9: You know, this is kind of insane. You have, you know,
Speaker 9: some grocery store, and as saying, well, if that's if
Speaker 9: he's if he gets elected and does that, we're closing
Speaker 9: up shop.
Speaker 1: But really the best.
Speaker 9: Moment came this week. You know, he was in an
Speaker 9: interview refused to condemn the phrase globalize the intafata, which
Speaker 9: of course is a call to kill Jews. And he
Speaker 9: was roundly you know, criticized for that, including by by
Speaker 9: you know, someone you know, some of his allies. And
Speaker 9: so he gave a tearful address to reporters saying it
Speaker 9: pains him to be called an anti Semite, but that's
Speaker 9: exactly what the guy is. So, you know what, I think,
Speaker 9: you're right, James, it is pretty entertaining.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but we do know in serious points
Speaker 2: that what globalized in a fat of means. I mean,
Speaker 2: we saw that on the streets of Washington recently, we
Speaker 2: saw that in Boulder, reason, you know, two terrible tragedies there.
Speaker 2: But there's also some other well glimmerus for hope here
Speaker 2: in the United States here, and I was very interesting
Speaker 2: to see the Supreme Court this week upholding Tennessee's ban
Speaker 2: on gender affirming care that sex change, you know, procedures,
Speaker 2: physical procedures for transgender miners, with the Court voting six'
Speaker 2: three in favor of the. Band this is a hugely
Speaker 2: important landmark. Decision what are the implications going to be
Speaker 2: for this nationally because it's Just tennessee obviously where the
Speaker 2: case came, out but it's gone to The Federal Supreme.
Speaker 2: Court does this mean that the whole trend of engaging
Speaker 2: in surgeries and things like that for under eighteens who
Speaker 2: may be, transgender that that may be coming to an?
Speaker 1: End, finally, well.
Speaker 9: Let's hope So, JAMES i, mean it's you, know mutilating
Speaker 9: children before you, know they even have a chance to
Speaker 9: understand what's going. On it's just. Shameful but this case
Speaker 9: was just about ten to. See but there are twenty
Speaker 9: six other states that have similar laws in, place banning you,
Speaker 9: know any sort of transgender you, know they call it
Speaker 9: gender affirming, care which is you, know it's new speak for. Mutilation,
Speaker 9: Really but twenty six other states also have these, laws
Speaker 9: and so this is A Supreme court, speaking so it
Speaker 9: seems unlikely that any of any of those, states you,
Speaker 9: know you couldn't be able to challenge those bans. Either
Speaker 9: so it really has big implications Beyond. Tennessee and you,
Speaker 9: Know i've heard that they may have something in the
Speaker 9: One Big Beautiful bill that would ban these sorts of
Speaker 9: procedures on minors. Nationally but really it's it's the states that,
Speaker 9: matter and they're the ones that really are going to
Speaker 9: be the one setting legislation on. It so it's huge
Speaker 9: and it really is a chance for. HOPE i, mean
Speaker 9: The United states is way behind on. This other. Countries you,
Speaker 9: know The United kingdom has seen the you know how
Speaker 9: how tearleness is and the damage it's done to children
Speaker 9: and has stepped back long before The United, States so you,
Speaker 9: know we're really catching up here and it's it's really about.
Speaker 9: TIME i, mean you, Know i've talked to a number
Speaker 9: of people who were you, know confused kids and we're
Speaker 9: basically pushed into it by doctor therapists and came to regret.
Speaker 9: It and it's it's you, know it's, lifelong you, know
Speaker 9: changes their life when they go through some of these. Procedures, so,
Speaker 9: uh you, know a lot these doctors and therapists have
Speaker 9: a lot to answer.
Speaker 2: For, yeah, well if you think you're behind in The United,
Speaker 2: states you come down To ustrea. Sometime Kelly Jane, torrens
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to leave it, there but thank you
Speaker 2: so much for joining me. Here now it's time for a.
Speaker 2: Break but don't go anywhere because when we come, Back
Speaker 2: i'm going to be joined by a great friend of the,
Speaker 2: Program John. Fund but, first a little lesson on not
Speaker 2: sleeping on the. Job why that is important not to.
Speaker 2: Do check out this footage of a crane operator who
Speaker 2: just happened to be having us newze when someone special
Speaker 2: dropped by the work site to say hi to his. Coworkers, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 2: mate didn't want to wake Up John fund after the
Speaker 2: break stick around. Well joining me now is political journalist
Speaker 2: and great friend of THE Us, Report John. Fund, john
Speaker 2: thanks so much for joining me again here on THE Us.
Speaker 2: REPORT i want to go To washington, first here where
Speaker 2: The democrats continue to bury their heads in the sand
Speaker 2: when it comes to what was going on with Former
Speaker 2: President Joe.
Speaker 1: Biden and there was.
Speaker 2: A stunning scene When democrats failed to show. Up they
Speaker 2: boycotted A Senate judiciary hearing On President biden's autopen use
Speaker 2: and mental. Decline have a look at what.
Speaker 10: HAPPENED i will note that a few of My democratic
Speaker 10: colleagues are here. Today thank you to So Welsh vermont
Speaker 10: for being, here leaving us with no other option than
Speaker 10: to take the boycotting of this hearing as an admission
Speaker 10: of guilt for their role in this. Crisis we must
Speaker 10: not turn away from the search for.
Speaker 2: Answers i'm, Sorry, john they boycotted the. Hearing where are
Speaker 2: the norms of civil behavior? Here they won't even show.
Speaker 2: Up what are they afraid?
Speaker 11: Of, Well, james, Look biden had the auto, penny was
Speaker 11: signing thousands of commutations and pardons and other. Things by remote,
Speaker 11: control effectively you having the ten do his work for.
Speaker 11: Him so The democrats are following and instead they've discovered auto,
Speaker 11: attendance where you attend simply by having an empty. Chair,
Speaker 11: yeah so it's all part of a piece government by remote.
Speaker 2: Control But, JOHN i, mean do you think that they're
Speaker 2: concerned that these hearings might actually uncover something or that
Speaker 2: they some of The democrats might be called on and asked, about,
Speaker 2: well what were you doing all? This didn't you know
Speaker 2: that the president was? Declining and yet you all covered it?
Speaker 11: Up, WELL i have to ADMIT i think their strategy
Speaker 11: was probably the best from a pr point of. View
Speaker 11: notice how little coverage this hearing has, gotten even though
Speaker 11: it involved the president of The United states and one
Speaker 11: of the biggest scandals in the post war history Of.
Speaker 2: America, unbelievable unbelievable, stuff AND i can't wait to hear
Speaker 2: more about what comes out of. This is going to
Speaker 2: be keeping us occupied for, YEARS i. Predict but in
Speaker 2: further news from the Classy Democrat party files, here it
Speaker 2: seems that formercy and and Correspondent Jim acosta apparently Mocked
Speaker 2: President Donald trump's deceased former, Wife ivana when talking about
Speaker 2: the ongoing immigration raids across the.
Speaker 1: Country have a look at.
Speaker 12: This where are the ice raids at The trump? Properties you? Know,
Speaker 12: yes can somebody ice on The trump golf course In
Speaker 12: virginia telling me there's nobody in there that is undocumented
Speaker 12: or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their.
Speaker 12: Paperwork give me a, Break, hey how? Many how many
Speaker 12: immigrants has he? Married he's got one buried at his
Speaker 12: golf course In New. Jersey isn't she buried by the
Speaker 12: first hole or the second tea or something like.
Speaker 2: That he's got one buried by the first hole at
Speaker 2: his golf. Course i'm, sorry couldn't these people have a
Speaker 2: bit more?
Speaker 1: Class?
Speaker 11: Oh his middle name has long Been. Sophomark look when
Speaker 11: a reporter as opinionated As Jim acosta was basically shown
Speaker 11: the door at the, NETWORK i think he decided to reinvent. Himself,
Speaker 11: unfortunately his real forte is, insult comic and not a
Speaker 11: very good. One so Because Stephen colbert's And Jimmy kimmel
Speaker 11: were filling the shoes of the hosts that the major,
Speaker 11: networks he's basically gone to podcasting and you, know, cable
Speaker 11: cable lowlife television to pedal as wares.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable what a? Decline, HEY i want to talk about
Speaker 2: also some serious stuff, here the big beautiful, bill The
Speaker 2: Big Trump Economic. Bill we've been a bit distracted by
Speaker 2: all the events in The Middle, East, john with fairly
Speaker 2: obvious reasons for. That, however there's also news that The
Speaker 2: senate has unveiled their own version of the bill after
Speaker 2: it's been cleared by The. House now there's a lot
Speaker 2: of provisions Around medicaid and tax and tax. Credits where
Speaker 2: is this. Going is The trump administration going to wind
Speaker 2: up ultimately getting a win on this, bill or are
Speaker 2: the sort of government, purists the libertarian, purists going to
Speaker 2: wind up holding this.
Speaker 11: Up, WELL i think the biggest danger is actually From
Speaker 11: Rhino republicans who want outrageous tax deductions for high income
Speaker 11: people in their high tax. Districts they want extending these
Speaker 11: clean energy tax. Credits they want to basically prop up
Speaker 11: hospitals with Endless medicaid subsidies that they don't. Deserve SO
Speaker 11: i think that's probably the bigger obstacle this bill.
Speaker 5: Is going to.
Speaker 11: Pass it's going to, pass and because it's a reconciliation.
Speaker 11: Bill it doesn't address the real, problem which is the entitlement.
Speaker 11: Programs the closest thing it does, IS i think Reform,
Speaker 11: medicaid which is horrible medicine and make it a little
Speaker 11: better for patients and a little less expensive for. Taxpayers
Speaker 11: so this bill will. Pass it will be. Messy you
Speaker 11: don't want to look at the sausage. Making but in the,
Speaker 11: end the tax cuts are going to be. Extended that
Speaker 11: will provide needed stability for the, economy and they will be,
Speaker 11: permanent AND i think the stock market and job creators
Speaker 11: will respond. Appropriately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, WELL i, MEAN i guess that's a bit of good, News,
Speaker 2: John BUT i still don't still worry about that big
Speaker 2: deficit that's growing by a trillion dollars every one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty. Days so we'll have to wait to deal with.
Speaker 2: That now it's time for a quick, break and of
Speaker 2: course only In america will be. Next but, first, Well
Speaker 2: i'll tell you more than one hundred days into The trump,
Speaker 2: presidency and guess what.
Speaker 1: The left is still not taking.
Speaker 2: It, well have a look at this perfectly normal scene
Speaker 2: that played out at one of the Recent No king's.
Speaker 2: Rallies boy, No, now remember The democrats are supposed to
Speaker 2: be the party of sane, people the normal, ones and
Speaker 2: it is The republicans who they say are really.
