Speaker 1: This is the US Report with James Moroar.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program, and buckle up
Speaker 2: for another year of star spangled politics out of the
Speaker 2: US of a coming up tonight, Minnesota, Mayhem. The tolerant
Speaker 2: left is now guess what invading church services? And yes
Speaker 2: they think this makes them the good guys. Don Hondaker
Speaker 2: joins me to explain what's going on. Plus has Trump
Speaker 2: chickened out on Iran? Or is there war going on
Speaker 2: behind the scenes? And guess who's refusing to testify new
Speaker 2: Congress about Jeffrey Epstein. Is this the real reason that
Speaker 2: that story has suddenly dropped off the front pages. We'll
Speaker 2: find out. But first, the political year of the US
Speaker 2: has already geared up, and hey, did it ever slow down?
Speaker 2: Where The focus this week has been the president's trip
Speaker 2: into the viper's pit known as the World Economic Forum
Speaker 2: in DeVos, Switzerland, where he went to deliver a strong
Speaker 2: message about the need for the West. Yes, that's right,
Speaker 2: the Western world, which, weirdly enough, so many of the
Speaker 2: West so leaders love to run down to rediscover its spirit.
Speaker 3: We have to become stronger, more successful, and more prosperous
Speaker 3: than ever We have to defend that culture and rediscover
Speaker 3: the spirit that lifted the West from the depths of
Speaker 3: the dark Ages to the pinnacle of human achievement.
Speaker 2: Damn straight. But of course no one there wanted to
Speaker 2: talk about high minded stuff like that. No other attendees,
Speaker 2: folks like Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom, wanted to get
Speaker 2: down in the gutter.
Speaker 4: I can't take this complicity people rolling over.
Speaker 5: I should have brought up a bunch of kneepads for
Speaker 5: all the world leaders.
Speaker 3: They say, diplomacy with Donald Trump, He's a t rex.
Speaker 6: You mate with him or he devours you.
Speaker 2: Knee pads mating with a t rex. I feel like
Speaker 2: that fantasy says more about Newsome than it does about Trump.
Speaker 2: But hey, that's another story. Of course, everyone at Davos
Speaker 2: was freaked out about Trump's saber rattling over Greenland, though
Speaker 2: now Trump is touting a deal that will supposedly give
Speaker 2: the US access to small pockets of the strategically vital
Speaker 2: island colony. And it is amazing to me that after
Speaker 2: more than a decade watching Trump, people just don't get
Speaker 2: that this is his style, this is his modus operandi,
Speaker 2: as it were, because I mean, it's all in his book,
Speaker 2: but most of the media is too lazy to read it.
Speaker 2: That his mo is to make maximalist claims I want
Speaker 2: all of Greenisland and then come up with a solution
Speaker 2: that's far short of that. His critics also miss key facts,
Speaker 2: like the fact that even as the press spins up
Speaker 2: the idea that Trump is going to war with Denmark,
Speaker 2: the US is also selling the Danes massive amounts of
Speaker 2: defense technology. Again, so much of the bluster is just
Speaker 2: for show, and yet people falling for it. But for me,
Speaker 2: the biggie out of Davos is this, Trump went to
Speaker 2: Davos with a very important message that first rab hinted at.
Speaker 2: You see, Trump told everybody in attendance what they needed
Speaker 2: to hear. And yes, I know, sure Trump may sometimes
Speaker 2: act like a petulant toddler, and the press loves to
Speaker 2: say this over and over again, but it's far worse.
Speaker 2: And this is what Trump called them out on is
Speaker 2: that for years, decades even Europe has acted not like
Speaker 2: a toddler, but like an occasionally employed forty two year
Speaker 2: old loser who still lives at home with his parents,
Speaker 2: demanding endless support and inviting his dirtbag mates around to
Speaker 2: trash the house and steal things. Trump gives his tough
Speaker 2: love message not because he hates Europe, but because he
Speaker 2: loves it, loves its heritage, loves what it has given
Speaker 2: to the West, and he knows that once we lose
Speaker 2: that it is gone forever. Frankly, all these issues with
Speaker 2: Greenland and NATO and oppressed that steadfast and refuses to
Speaker 2: accept strategic realities is really looking like small beer, however,
Speaker 2: compared to the challenge that Trump is facing over the
Speaker 2: next ten or eleven months. Now. Trump has just marked
Speaker 2: the one year anniversary with second inauguration, but now it
Speaker 2: is an absolute race to the midterm elections, which could
Speaker 2: see not only every achievement of his presidency either noveled
Speaker 2: or undone, as well as also Republicans and Trump's supporters,
Speaker 2: or as the left likes to call them, trump enablers
Speaker 2: in the gun. I just want to give you three
Speaker 2: little examples of this phenomenon that involved Democrats, ironically enough,
Speaker 2: not observing the very principal's democracy that they claim to support,
Speaker 2: as well as acting like the very vengeful totalitarians they
Speaker 2: claimed Trump has been all along. You see, and we
Speaker 2: see it in Australia all the time too. When the
Speaker 2: Democrats come into power, they act like they are all moderate,
Speaker 2: while at the same time they conceal behind them a
Speaker 2: revolutionary agenda. Now we are going to speak a bit
Speaker 2: more about her later in the program, but there is
Speaker 2: a wonderful example of this on foot in the moment
Speaker 2: with new Virginia governor Abigail Spamburger, an ex CIA agent.
Speaker 2: If that's not enough to get your intended going, who
Speaker 2: ran as a moderate but now is anything but you
Speaker 2: recall Spamburger from this cold des ice moment in her
Speaker 2: gubernatorial debate when she was called out for supporting a
Speaker 2: fellow Democrat who fantasized about the murder of a Republican
Speaker 2: politician's children.
Speaker 7: Why she won't say it is not okay and that
Speaker 7: he must leave the race because Jay Jones advocated the murder, Abigail,
Speaker 7: the murder of a man, a former speaker, as well
Speaker 7: as his children who were two years, two and five
Speaker 7: years old. You have little girls. What would it take
Speaker 7: him pulling the trigger?
Speaker 2: Is that? What would do it?
Speaker 7: And then you would say he needs to get out
Speaker 7: of the race.
Speaker 2: Abigail Well Spamberger won trying to paint herself as a moderate.
Speaker 2: But what's the first thing that happened when she took office.
Speaker 2: Her party introduced a bill this week to eliminate mandatory
Speaker 2: minimum sentences for rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer,
Speaker 2: possession and distribution of child pornography, and all repeat violent felonies.
Speaker 2: There's a lot more to it her agenda too, for
Speaker 2: moves to stop checks on migrant status, to enshrining a
Speaker 2: hard left, anti American, woke curriculum in the schools nice
Speaker 2: and federally too. It's the same story by Democrat Chuck
Speaker 2: Schumer is already planning to restore all the money, all
Speaker 2: the billions wasted and went out the door on god
Speaker 2: knows what that were cut by Doze if the Democrats
Speaker 2: win the midterms.
Speaker 8: You look at the budget actually we're working on right now,
Speaker 8: and we'll have the Tea HUD budget, you know, transportation
Speaker 8: and HUD budget. We restore most of the cuts and
Speaker 8: even go higher than previous years on many of the
Speaker 8: programs that Dog slashed.
Speaker 2: But that's nothing compared to what the left in America
Speaker 2: is saying in their guarded moments when they think, you know,
Speaker 2: we're just having a real talk between us and nobody
Speaker 2: else is listening. Here's Democrat activist Jennifer Welch.
Speaker 1: Blue Tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon
Speaker 1: Musk big balls and a bunch of other peoples in
Speaker 1: front and say what crimes did you commit? And it's
Speaker 1: going to get really serious, and the same with Trump
Speaker 1: because I believe, and this is just my opinion, that
Speaker 1: Trump and all of the bottom feeding moron surrounding him,
Speaker 1: and Elon Musk and all the bottom feeding clinger honers
Speaker 1: that surround him, I think they commit crimes every day.
Speaker 1: And I think to reconcile all of this is going
Speaker 1: to take hardcore, not integrity Democrats through Democrats over our country.
Speaker 1: We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We're going
Speaker 1: to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did.
Speaker 1: We will be relentless about it. And that's the mindset
Speaker 1: they've got to have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember all those times the left claimed Trump was
Speaker 2: all about seeking retribution and vengeance on his enemies. Well,
Speaker 2: guess what, you ain't seen nothing yet, but you do
Speaker 2: see the problem Trump has Over the next ten or
Speaker 2: so months, he has to not only bed down as
Speaker 2: much of his agenda as possible, but he has to
Speaker 2: do it while increasing Republican majorities in Congress, historically almost
Speaker 2: unheard of at a midterm election. Good luck, mister President.
Speaker 2: It's only the future of the country and the free
Speaker 2: world at stake. But first, let's jump straight into Donald
Speaker 2: Trump's visit to Davos for the World Economic Forum. Joining
Speaker 2: me to discuss this and a whole lot more is
Speaker 2: Trump's former White House chief of staff and of course,
Speaker 2: senior advisor of Bondai Partners, Mick Mulvadey. Mick, I want
Speaker 2: to get into the politics of this trip to Davos,
Speaker 2: but you know, I also want to hear about you
Speaker 2: and your experience with Trump on some of these trips.
Speaker 2: You were his chief of staff in his first term.
Speaker 2: He went on a lot of these things. We saw
Speaker 2: all that drama with Air Force one turning around. What
Speaker 2: is the energy like on these trips. I keep hearing
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump never sleeps. He bothers people all night
Speaker 2: long when they're trying to sleep on the plane. Is
Speaker 2: all that true?
Speaker 5: Oh, James, There's so much fake news about Donald Trump
Speaker 5: it's hard to nowhere to start. But this is not
Speaker 5: one of them. The man doesn't sleep. He's slept about
Speaker 5: four hours a night when I was chief of staff,
Speaker 5: and he can perceive sleep as a sign of weakness
Speaker 5: amongst his staff. So yes, we used to sleep in
Speaker 5: shifts on these overseas trips, so that at least somebody
Speaker 5: was awake all of the time and he wouldn't come
Speaker 5: around looking for some body to wake up. But yes,
Speaker 5: that's exactly what I was thinking. It's funny you say it.
Speaker 5: When I saw that the Air Force one had to
Speaker 5: turn around in the middle of the Atlantic and then
Speaker 5: had to change planes to the smaller plane, that that
Speaker 5: is really brutal on the staff because they are ordinary
Speaker 5: human beings that need to sleep, and Donald Trump does it.
Speaker 5: So No, it's a it's a it's a wonderfully underreported
Speaker 5: part of the Trump presidency, his sleep habits when he's
Speaker 5: traveling overseas.
Speaker 2: No, it's absolutely fascinating that just the sort of the
Speaker 2: number of hours he's awake in a row. But going
Speaker 2: getting down to the getting down to the business of
Speaker 2: the summit here, you know, the big question, of course,
Speaker 2: was about Greenland and what's going to happen with this.
Speaker 2: We spoke last year about the real strategic importance of Greenland.
Speaker 2: Trump has announced that he has reached some sort of
Speaker 2: framework for a future deal with NATO. Have a look
Speaker 2: at this. It's a deal, does It's all people have
Speaker 2: jumped at.
Speaker 3: Really fantastic for the USA gets everything we wanted told me,
Speaker 3: but including especially real national security and international serce.
Speaker 4: Can you get Well, the deal is going to be
Speaker 4: put out pretty soon.
Speaker 3: We're going to say it's right.
Speaker 9: Now, a little bit of a drug us, but pretty
Speaker 9: far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.
Speaker 2: But even as we are speaking here, some of the
Speaker 2: players involved on the European side are still worried about sovereignty. Nick,
Speaker 2: is this the best outcome out of this deal? And
Speaker 2: is this really just that art of the deal thing
Speaker 2: where Trump takes a maximalist position, will take all of Greenland,
Speaker 2: and then comes to something much more reasonable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if it's the best possible deal,
Speaker 5: but it's certainly better than a military invasion of Greenland
Speaker 5: that would, you know, end the NATO alliance. I'm not sure,
Speaker 5: James yet what we got in the deal. Trump is
Speaker 5: famous for this, announcing a sort of the framework of
Speaker 5: a deal, you know, a mo ou on a deal
Speaker 5: sort of the outlines of a deal without having many details.
Speaker 5: That's about where we are right now. It's not readily
Speaker 5: apparent to me what the Americans got that they didn't
Speaker 5: have already. Again, we had fairly broad rights militarily to
Speaker 5: operate on Greenland under previous treaties that we had talked
Speaker 5: to the Danes about helping them and US sort of
Speaker 5: jointly develop their rare earth minerals and so forth, all
Speaker 5: of which we get under this deal that Trump has
Speaker 5: sort of announced, as is so often the case, which
Speaker 5: Trump the devil will be in the details. But yeah, look,
Speaker 5: I think at the end of the day, which you've
Speaker 5: got is a situation where America can bolster the defenses
Speaker 5: of Greenland, bolster the defenses of the Arctic, help develop
Speaker 5: the critical minerals on the island, and didn't blow up
Speaker 5: the NATO alliance too badly on the road to doing that.
Speaker 5: So I guess that has to be seen as a success.
Speaker 5: I'm just not sure how different it was in the
Speaker 5: status quo ante.
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right there, Mickhay. I want to
Speaker 2: move on to another stroach I think is not gotten
Speaker 2: anywhere near enough attention. This is the new governor of Virginia.
Speaker 2: We remember that controls race last year, Abigail Spanberger. She
Speaker 2: is pushing through whole sorts of legislation about you know, well,
Speaker 2: let's have a look at one piece less that she
Speaker 2: just signed, and this.
Speaker 10: Executive order rescinds Executive Order number forty seven.
Speaker 11: State and local law enforcement should not be priored to.
Speaker 10: Divert their limited resources to enforce federal civil immigration laws.
Speaker 10: It is a responsibility of federal law enforcement.
Speaker 2: Mick. She's also, along with not cooperating with federal law
Speaker 2: enforcement immigration, raising taxes, pushing a whole swag of other
Speaker 2: hard left agenda items. This really shows the consequences of
Speaker 2: elections and what's at stake in the midterms here, doesn't it?
Speaker 5: Or not just that, James, keep in mind animal Spanberger.
Speaker 5: Spanburger who served in Congress, and I'm familiar with her
Speaker 5: from her time there, ran as for governor as a moderate,
Speaker 5: a down the center Democrat, and actually railed against some
Speaker 5: of the more far left leaning policies of her party.
Speaker 5: But here she is in her first week, maybe her
Speaker 5: first day or two on the job, and is putting
Speaker 5: in some fairly progressive left wing sort of policies. I
Speaker 5: think that is a wake up call for both parties
Speaker 5: going into the midterms and to the voters that you know,
Speaker 5: just because someone runs as something doesn't mean they're going
Speaker 5: to vote or govern as another. And I think that
Speaker 5: the Spamberger situation we watch very very closely as we
Speaker 5: go to the midterms, because there will be a lot
Speaker 5: of Democrats in swing districts, especially running under her playbook,
Speaker 5: and of course now they're going to have the questions, well,
Speaker 5: when if you do win, will you govern as the
Speaker 5: type of person you ran as, or will you govern
Speaker 5: as the type of person that animal Spamberger is running
Speaker 5: is governing as well?
Speaker 2: Nick, One of the things that Spamberger ran as was
Speaker 2: kind of an anti zoron Momdanni character. But you know,
Speaker 2: in office now she's proven to be this other thing.
Speaker 2: As you say, does this show that the center of
Speaker 2: gravity of the party is now shifting further and further left?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 5: Sure, you, but you and I have talked about that
Speaker 5: for weeks now, ever since the Mandanni rise, even going
Speaker 5: back forth, you know, to the last election cycle, when
Speaker 5: the influence of the progressive left, Ernie Sanders, the AOC
Speaker 5: wing of the party Spamberger ran explicitly against that. She
Speaker 5: was the one who said, look, I don't want my
Speaker 5: party going this far left. I want to be more
Speaker 5: of a centrist. She wants to run for president than
Speaker 5: she doesn't think she can do so as a progressive.
Speaker 5: But yes, all of the energy in that party is
Speaker 5: on the far left. So even those folks who are
Speaker 5: running as centrists when they govern are being forced to
Speaker 5: govern from the left. So it's going to be fascinating
Speaker 5: to watch. The Democrat Party hasn't figured out what they
Speaker 5: want to be yet going into the midterms.
Speaker 13: The Republicans.
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, James. They've got their own issues
Speaker 5: and we do, but one of them is not the
Speaker 5: sort of the unified force the Democrats, because they're just
Speaker 5: as screwed up as the Republicans are.
Speaker 2: Right now, Well, you know, Mick, this moving to the
Speaker 2: left business. So we saw another example of this, and
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned this shift because it was really
Speaker 2: disturbing that Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, he has
Speaker 2: released memoirs in which he says that when and this
Speaker 2: guy is a very centrist, very moderate, very normal Democrat
Speaker 2: who also happens to be Jewish. He has released memoirs
Speaker 2: and say that when he was being vetted for Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris's potential vice president in twenty twenty four, they asked
Speaker 2: him was he or had he ever been a double
Speaker 2: agent of Israel. This seems to be well, it's an
Speaker 2: ancient canard. But also this really shows where these guys are,
Speaker 2: doesn't it?
Speaker 5: It does, and I think it was an eye opening
Speaker 5: I give him credit for exposing it. Look, both parties
Speaker 5: are dealing with the anti Semitism in ways I never
Speaker 5: expected they would have to deal with in the twenty
Speaker 5: first century. Republicans have got an issue with that. The
Speaker 5: Democrats certainly do at the very highest level. Let's understand
Speaker 5: what this was. This was a vetting to be or
Speaker 5: not to be the Democrat nominee for vice president on
Speaker 5: the ticket with Kamala Harris. It doesn't get any higher
Speaker 5: than that in a party than being vetted for vice president.
Speaker 5: And if that's one or some of the questions that
Speaker 5: her team or she was asking or curious about, it
Speaker 5: shows you just how deep this anti Semitism runs in
Speaker 5: the Democrat Party. They are going to have to do
Speaker 5: something about it. They're going to have to address it.
Speaker 5: By the way, Joshapiro will be on the front line
Speaker 5: of that, because my expectation is that he will run
Speaker 5: for presidents in twenty twenty eight as well. So be
Speaker 5: curious to see how a Jewish Democrat does in a
Speaker 5: Democrat primary in this current environment.
Speaker 2: Mick Maulvaney is a very sad state of affairs that
Speaker 2: are on the left. Thank you so much. As always,
Speaker 2: Thanks James. Let's move on now to the great or
Speaker 2: now not so great state of Minnesota, with the head
Speaker 2: of the Center for the American Experiment and author of
Speaker 2: the brilliant power Line blog, John Heineaker. John, Welcome to
Speaker 2: the program. In nineteen seventy three, Time magazine ran a
Speaker 2: cover story entitled the Good Life in Minnesota A little
Speaker 2: bit of trivia, by the way, that was written by
Speaker 2: my father. And today Minnesota looks like this.
Speaker 3: Have a look Renee god Renee god Renee God.
Speaker 10: All the people in this church.
Speaker 13: They're living real comfortable lives while children are dragged in
Speaker 13: a concentration camps.
Speaker 2: So if we disturbed there Sunday, oh no, we needn't.
Speaker 2: Nobody should have comfort right now, while our immigrant communities
Speaker 2: are afraid to leave their houses. Yes, that's right, John,
Speaker 2: the tolerant left is now invading church services, and apparently
Speaker 2: XCNN host Don Lemon was involved. Tell us about this,
Speaker 2: what's going on, and surely there have got to be
Speaker 2: some legal repercussions for this.
Speaker 4: Well, this is a terrible story, James. This happened Sunday
Speaker 4: morning at the City's Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. This
Speaker 4: is a Baptist church and it was invaded by leftists.
Speaker 4: The service was disrupted, the ministers were harassed, and federal
Speaker 4: officials reacted with outrage. Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, said
Speaker 4: that there would be criminal charges brought and that in
Speaker 4: fact has happened. I believe three of the leaders of
Speaker 4: this church invasion have now been placed under arrest by
Speaker 4: the FBI. And the other interesting aspect of this story
Speaker 4: is that Don Lemmon, the former and now disgraced talking
Speaker 4: head at CNN, was part of this church invasion, and
Speaker 4: he purported to be covering it. He's not at CNN anymore,
Speaker 4: but you know, on whatever platform he's using. But as
Speaker 4: far as you could tell, he was part of the
Speaker 4: group invading the church. He was harassing ministers, and he
Speaker 4: seemed to be one of the organizers in fact of
Speaker 4: that church invasion, and so he is one of the
Speaker 4: people that the Department of Justice wanted to charge under
Speaker 4: the Face Act, which which deals with harassment, among other things,
Speaker 4: with interference with the church services. And the kind of
Speaker 4: remarkable story here just today out of Minnesotia is that
Speaker 4: a federal magistrate signed off on the arrest warrants for
Speaker 4: the other individuals who led this church invasion, but declined
Speaker 4: to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon,
Speaker 4: apparently as best anybody can figure out, because he's supposed
Speaker 4: to be a journalist.
Speaker 2: That's really fascinating. And of course all of this stems
Speaker 2: from the raids that have been going on in Minnesota
Speaker 2: connected to that Somali daycare welfare scam that we've been
Speaker 2: talking about last year. Have there been any further developments
Speaker 2: on that. What's happening with federal efforts to crack down
Speaker 2: on these sorts of ethnically linked daycare and welfare frauds
Speaker 2: that allegedly have been going on all over the place.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, James, that's really a separate story, and
Speaker 4: it's not a separate track. What's happening there is that
Speaker 4: the US Attorney's office here in Minneapolis has estimated that
Speaker 4: something like nine billion dollars or more in additional fraud
Speaker 4: above and beyond what's already been prosecuted, has occurred in
Speaker 4: recent years in the medicaid programs being administered here in Minnesota.
Speaker 4: And so we're now waiting for that shoe to drop,
Speaker 4: expecting that anytime now there's going to be a number
Speaker 4: of additional indictments coming down, no doubt, followed by guilty
Speaker 4: pleas and ultimately probably some jury trials. So the fraud
Speaker 4: story continues. In the bottom line, James, is that these
Speaker 4: frauds have been centered overwhelmingly in the Somali community, and
Speaker 4: they have infected basically every welfare program in the state
Speaker 4: of Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Hey, JOHNA, why do we want something else? And again,
Speaker 2: pick your brilliant legal brain about another drama playing out.
Speaker 2: And I thought this was fascinating here. Bill and Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 2: the former presidents and first Lady, are now potentially in
Speaker 2: some jeopardy of being found in contempt of Congress after
Speaker 2: they refuse to testify. But what they knew about the
Speaker 2: illicit activities of Jeffrey Epstein and the goings on on
Speaker 2: Epstein Island, among other things. This isn't really great look
Speaker 2: for the Clintons. Apparently Jeffrey's old girlfriend, JILLIANE. Maxwell is
Speaker 2: going to testify, so why not the Clintons.
Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting, James. The only politician who actually is
Speaker 4: known to have been close to Jeffrey Epstein was Bill Clinton.
Speaker 4: Epstein had this bizarre painting of Bill Clinton in a
Speaker 4: blue dress hanging in his house in New York, or
Speaker 4: maybe it was the island, I forget, but they were
Speaker 4: actually relatively close, and Clinton is the only politician who
Speaker 4: had that kind of relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. So this
Speaker 4: whole matter is totally political. The Democrats have been trying
Speaker 4: to smear Trump with Epstein, even though Epstein hated Trump.
Speaker 4: And now I think the Republicans are kind of retaliating
Speaker 4: by putting Bill and Hillary Clinton under oath for depositions.
Speaker 4: And they refused to appear last week for those depositions,
Speaker 4: and they're under subpoena, and so the House Oversight Committee
Speaker 4: voted to hold Bill Clinton in contempt, also to hold
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton in contempt. Now that potentially could turn into
Speaker 4: a criminal charge, but that's a ways off. The entire
Speaker 4: House of Representatives would have to go along and vote
Speaker 4: Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress. And if they did that,
Speaker 4: it would be up to the Department of Justice to
Speaker 4: decide whether to actually bring criminal charges that may or
Speaker 4: may not ever happen.
Speaker 2: But you know, John, it is interesting to me because
Speaker 2: I remember late last year it was all in the media, Oh,
Speaker 2: Trump Epstein, Trump Epstein, Trump Epstein. I kind of wonder
Speaker 2: if maybe this is why we're not hearing so much
Speaker 2: about Trump Epstein anymore.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the whole Epstein's story has been blown
Speaker 4: massively out of proportion. The idea that there was this
Speaker 4: international ring of pedophiles operating at the highest levels of politics.
Speaker 4: It's just not true. There was never any evidence to
Speaker 4: support that. And the whole Epstein thing now has turned
Speaker 4: into a political football, with the Democrats demanding that all
Speaker 4: these files be produced and declassified and so on, and
Speaker 4: the administration kind of reluctantly saying, Okay, if you really
Speaker 4: want them, here they are. And so they're in the
Speaker 4: process of doing that, but they are not producing anything
Speaker 4: like the kind of information that some people have alleged.
Speaker 4: And I come back to where we started out, which
Speaker 4: is the fact that the only major politician with whom
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Epstein really had a significant relationship appears to have
Speaker 4: been Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2: Well there you go, hey, John Finley. Before I let
Speaker 2: you go, I wanted to get your thoughts on something
Speaker 2: that I was reminded of by your excellent power Line blog.
Speaker 2: This month marks the ninth anniversary of that fantastic moment
Speaker 2: scene and heard around the world. But for everybody who
Speaker 2: doesn't remember this, have a listen.
Speaker 3: Donald J.
Speaker 4: Trump is now President of the United States. President step
Speaker 4: solution for the.
Speaker 5: Great runner to be able to introduce for the the
Speaker 5: first time ever anywhere, the forty fifth President of the
Speaker 5: United States of America.
Speaker 2: No, John, I need your thoughts on this, James.
Speaker 4: That poor woman, we've all seen her a thousand times
Speaker 4: since then over the last nine years. It's become a meme,
Speaker 4: the woman's screaming in the green jacket. But the thing
Speaker 4: that I would remind our viewers of, James, is that
Speaker 4: it's also the ninth anniversary of the riot that the
Speaker 4: Democrats perpetrated on the day when Donald Trump was inaugurated
Speaker 4: in twenty seventeen, and that riot they burned buildings, they
Speaker 4: burned vehicles, they smashed storefront. Six law enforcement officers were injured,
Speaker 4: they attacked passers by. They did I think a thousand
Speaker 4: or ten thousand times as much damage in that riot
Speaker 4: has occurred in that famous incident of January sixth, twenty
Speaker 4: twenty one, that the Democrats always love to talk about.
Speaker 4: So it's also the ninth anniversary of when the Democrats
Speaker 4: rioted when Donald Trump was first inaugurated back in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Yes, John, but of course that was the tolerant left
Speaker 2: at work there, so of course we can't criticize it.
Speaker 2: But all, John Heineger, thank you so much for your time. Now,
Speaker 2: time for a quick break, and when we come back,
Speaker 2: the latest in the ongoing power struggle in Iran. But first,
Speaker 2: America just celebrated Martin muth King Day, in honor of
Speaker 2: the civil rights leader who looked forward to a day
Speaker 2: when Americans weren't judged on the color of their skin.
Speaker 2: Too bad, Michelle Obama didn't get the message. She's just
Speaker 2: revealed how she does her clothes shopping. And if the
Speaker 2: designer's white, it's not all right.
Speaker 11: If I hear of someone who's fashion that I like,
Speaker 11: and I know that their person of color. I can
Speaker 11: try to make it a point, but the clothes have
Speaker 11: to be available, you know. I think we can all
Speaker 11: do some more to think about that balance in our wardrobes.
Speaker 11: You know, what does our closet look like and who's
Speaker 11: in it?
Speaker 2: Great question, and I'm sure that's a discussion that has
Speaker 2: often had in the Obama household. But really interesting that
Speaker 2: supporting designers based on race is what Michelle is doing
Speaker 2: as America celebrates mister content of their character himself. Stick
Speaker 2: around Iran latest after the break, Welcome back to the program.
Speaker 2: Of course, the other big foreign policy story involving the
Speaker 2: US right now is Iran. But after more than a
Speaker 2: fortnight of protests across the country and the deaths of
Speaker 2: what is believed to be thousands of pro democracy demonstrators,
Speaker 2: the US appears not to be getting militarily involved in
Speaker 2: the toppling of the Mullahs, despite Donald Trump telling protesters
Speaker 2: that help was on its way here to help us
Speaker 2: pick our way through all of this. A workout just
Speaker 2: what's going on is a great friend of the program.
Speaker 2: Senior fellow and director of the Center were Peace and
Speaker 2: Security in the Middle East at the Hudson Institute. Michael Dorin. Michael,
Speaker 2: welcome to the program. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 2: Help me out here and tell me what is going
Speaker 2: on with the administration. First they say help us on
Speaker 2: his way. Then it seems like they're backing off. Walk
Speaker 2: us through what the strategy is here.
Speaker 13: Well, thanks for having me. Great to be here.
Speaker 2: I'm not as I'm not.
Speaker 13: As certain as you that there is no military action planned.
Speaker 13: Part of what's happened here is that the President has
Speaker 13: been buying time to bring forces into the Middle East.
Speaker 13: He was warned off the attack after he first threatened
Speaker 13: it by the neighbors, by the Saudis and the Turks especially,
Speaker 13: but also reportedly by Prime Minister Natanyahu, who said that
Speaker 13: if we're going to do this again, because I mean,
Speaker 13: if Donald Trump starts the war or if the Israeli
Speaker 13: whether whether Donald Trump starts the war or the Israeli started,
Speaker 13: it's going to involve Israel and the United States. And
Speaker 13: so Prime Minister Nathanielle said, it's not worth all of
Speaker 13: the effort if we don't really bring about a significant
Speaker 13: change this time. And so I think then Donald Trump
Speaker 13: bought some time. Uh, listen to the listen to the Allies.
Speaker 13: But now he's also bringing reinforcements in and as of tomorrow,
Speaker 13: we're going to have an aircraft Carrier Group UH in
Speaker 13: the region, as well as augmented UH missile air and
Speaker 13: missile defense systems. So I think that next week we
Speaker 13: might actually see the showdown.
Speaker 2: Well, that's going to be fascinating to watch, and we
Speaker 2: will keep watching this. But the other question, of course,
Speaker 2: is you know what targets would the US be looking
Speaker 2: to strike to actually bring forth a toppling of this
Speaker 2: of this hated regime which has been causing mayhem, not
Speaker 2: just in Iran, not just in the at least, but
Speaker 2: around the world since nineteen seventy nine. Where would you
Speaker 2: expect that they would be hitting targets? Would they be
Speaker 2: IRGC Republican Guard targets, would they be other military installations?
Speaker 2: How do you get militarily that regime to full And
Speaker 2: eventually I suppose the eye Tota and all his pals
Speaker 2: to pack their bags. It's some golden a carry on
Speaker 2: and head off to Moscow.
Speaker 13: Well, I think that the number one target would be
Speaker 13: how many himself? I think that the president of Iran
Speaker 13: possession has been signaling quite openly. It's quite remarkable. Actually,
Speaker 13: he's been saying, look, I feel your pain to the
Speaker 13: protesters that you're suffering economically. We understand that the only
Speaker 13: way to solve this is to have a negotiation with
Speaker 13: the Americans, because it's because of the sanctions that we
Speaker 13: can't make any economic advancement. But we can't negotiate with
Speaker 13: the Americans because the leader won't let us. I mean,
Speaker 13: he doesn't say it quite like that, but if you
Speaker 13: put together all of the statements he's made, he's basically saying,
Speaker 13: my hands are tied. I think we should negotiate, but
Speaker 13: the Supreme Leader won't let us. So I think the
Speaker 13: natural thing if you're Donald Trump is to try to
Speaker 13: is to try to decapitate the regime and try to
Speaker 13: deal with the remnant, which is what they did basically
Speaker 13: in Venezuela. So it wouldn't surprise me at all. One
Speaker 13: scenario would be to try to decapitate the regime. Another
Speaker 13: would be another would be to try to embolden the
Speaker 13: protests by, as you suggested, hit IERGC basis but very
Speaker 13: visible IERGC and besiege besieges the militia that is shooting
Speaker 13: all the people on the street.
Speaker 2: Right, And I mean, if you're the if you're the
Speaker 2: eye tool, if you're the supreme leader. You've watched what
Speaker 2: happened to Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. You've seen all of
Speaker 2: the targeted assassinations by the Israelis. You would have to
Speaker 2: be feeling very insecure right now, just about where you're
Speaker 2: going to sleep at night.
Speaker 13: Well, he's very very insecure. One of the things that's
Speaker 13: gone on, it's fascinating James since the June War between
Speaker 13: Israel and Iran, is that he has surrounded himself by
Speaker 13: ultra loyalists because he found out after the during the
Speaker 13: war that he was lied to by his own people.
Speaker 13: They lied to him about their capabilities, and then after
Speaker 13: the destruction by the Israelis, they lied to him about
Speaker 13: the extent of the destruction. And so he has he
Speaker 13: has such distrust of the people around him that were
Speaker 13: around him because of the lies, but also distrust because
Speaker 13: of the deep penetration of Iran by Israelian intelligence, and
Speaker 13: this has led him, this has led him to surround
Speaker 13: himself now by ultra loyalists who are actually much more
Speaker 13: extreme in their political views than their predecessors. That's one
Speaker 13: of the things that worries the Israelis. They're expecting a very,
Speaker 13: very very sharp escalation by the Iranians the minute the
Speaker 13: Ranians are attacked.
Speaker 2: Right, fascinating. Mike, thank you so much for walking us
Speaker 2: through this, and hopefully by the next time we speak
Speaker 2: we might actually see some resolution to this and a
Speaker 2: sayonara to the Ayatola. Thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 2: As always, Now, don't go away because after the break,
Speaker 2: a foreign visa scam in the United States has been
Speaker 2: exposed with massive repercussions. But first we need to address
Speaker 2: an elephant in the room now. When he was at Davos,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump made an embarrassing and much reported blunder when
Speaker 2: he mixed up Greenland and Iceland. It's true, but here's
Speaker 2: what's worse. That's not the only geography error Donald Trump made.
Speaker 2: See if you can spot it here, have a listen.
Speaker 9: There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all
Speaker 9: over the place, and they are losers. One thing I've
Speaker 9: noticed is that the more windmills the country has, the
Speaker 9: more money that country loses, and the worse that country
Speaker 9: is doing.
Speaker 2: Did you catch that that's right. He meant to say Australia,
Speaker 2: not Europe. And yet we keep building the damn things.
Speaker 2: Stick around the Blazed TV Sara Gonzalez is here after
Speaker 2: exposing a crooked visa scam in Texas. Don't go Away,
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program. Well forget Somali daycare centers.
Speaker 2: Another major scam has been revealed in the United States
Speaker 2: in Texas in specific and possibly the rest of the country.
Speaker 2: Overseas fraudsters are allegedly exploiting something called the H one
Speaker 2: B visa, which allows employers in the US to hire
Speaker 2: and sponsor foreign nationals to fill the jobs requiring a
Speaker 2: bachelor's degree or hire. But all you need to do
Speaker 2: to get in on this, apparently is set up a
Speaker 2: business at a home address, and their allegations that foreigners
Speaker 2: are using these home addresses to create fake businesses and
Speaker 2: fake job postings to bring in their overseas buddies. It's
Speaker 2: all been exposed by Blaz's TV hosts Sarah Gonzalez. Have
Speaker 2: a look at this.
Speaker 10: I was wondering, I was just looking for more information
Speaker 10: on Quibitt's technology. Cops, I would yeah, sure, I would
Speaker 10: love for the cops to come out here. I just
Speaker 10: have some questions about the H one B visa workers
Speaker 10: that you workers for your company in here. Do they
Speaker 10: work out of here?
Speaker 2: Cool? Well, I'm pleased to say that the Blaze TVs.
Speaker 2: Sarah Gonzalez joins me right now on the program. Sarah,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. Explain some of this to our
Speaker 2: viewers here. What is an H one B visa and
Speaker 2: how does this scam work?
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you so much for having me on to
Speaker 10: talk about this very important issue that's happening here in
Speaker 10: the United States. So, the H one B visa was
Speaker 10: designed for people from certain other countries to come here
Speaker 10: to this country if they have a very special set
Speaker 10: of skills like say, you know, very very highly developed,
Speaker 10: you know, engineer, software engineer, is very high tech, elevated
Speaker 10: senior management people. This was designed specifically for people with
Speaker 10: that unique skill set because the idea is, hey, we
Speaker 10: can't find American workers. We need to import these people
Speaker 10: to fill American jobs at high levels. But what's ended
Speaker 10: up happening is that this H one B visa program
Speaker 10: that was intended for good, is now of course being
Speaker 10: abused by people who want to bring their friends, their
Speaker 10: family and by people who, in this particular man's case,
Speaker 10: I worry that he is what they call a body shop.
Speaker 10: So a body shop are people who act as consulting companies,
Speaker 10: bring in a bunch of H one B workers and
Speaker 10: farm them out and take a portion of their money
Speaker 10: that they are making. It's a really, really nasty scam.
Speaker 10: But unfortunately the fraud that we've uncovered is just the
Speaker 10: tip of the ice. Or we started finding so much
Speaker 10: information here in the state of Texas that we decided
Speaker 10: we've got to do a multi part expos just going
Speaker 10: around and exposing all of this potential fraud that is
Speaker 10: really happening right in front of our eyes, and nobody
Speaker 10: seems to be paying attention.
Speaker 2: And Sarah, this whole debate about skilled visas, we have
Speaker 2: the same thing here in Australia, where people are worried that,
Speaker 2: you know, you're bringing in migrants to take jobs of
Speaker 2: local workers. I have heard that these H one B
Speaker 2: visas have been devastating to people who say have computer
Speaker 2: science degrees and things of that nature because they keep
Speaker 2: getting undercut by foreign workers. And corporations absolutely love these things.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, because they can get these
Speaker 10: they can get these foreign workers. They think that they
Speaker 10: can get them at a lower rate, and of course
Speaker 10: these workers are it's kind of like a new slave
Speaker 10: that they're importing. Because they know that these people are
Speaker 10: beholden to these companies. They want the H one B.
Speaker 10: They have to do exactly what is told to them
Speaker 10: so that they can continue to keep that H one B.
Speaker 10: It's a really, really nasty thing that they're doing. I'll
Speaker 10: give you a few others as well. I was going
Speaker 10: through a database that listed all of these H one
Speaker 10: B jobs that were out there for people to apply to,
Speaker 10: and I started noticing something very interesting. What I started
Speaker 10: noticing is that there were a lot of elementary school teachers.
Speaker 10: There were a lot of middle school math teachers. There
Speaker 10: were a lot of bilingual teachers, there were a lot
Speaker 10: of In fact, I even found one at Texas A
Speaker 10: and M University for an athletic trainer. I refuse to
Speaker 10: believe that we don't have Americans that are able to
Speaker 10: fill these jobs with these people that are exploiting the system.
Speaker 10: They're abusing the system, and as you pointed out, there
Speaker 10: are a lot of people in computer science that are
Speaker 10: very upset. We set up an email address for people
Speaker 10: to send tips to, and we started receiving a flood
Speaker 10: of tips that were bringing that were coming into our
Speaker 10: email address, and people were saying the same story time
Speaker 10: and time again. I'm a computer software programmer, and I
Speaker 10: found myself without work because there was an Indian in
Speaker 10: management who came over and brought over all of their
Speaker 10: Indian friends, and they refused to hire anyone else who
Speaker 10: was not Indian or came from India. I received time
Speaker 10: and time again, story after story after story. It's a
Speaker 10: huge problem in this country. And I have to wonder
Speaker 10: what the folks over at the center, you know, the
Speaker 10: uscis for Immigration Services. I have to wonder what they're
Speaker 10: doing well.
Speaker 2: I mean, Sarah, it sounds like, to break it down,
Speaker 2: to put it quite simply, it sounds like everybody is
Speaker 2: getting a cut in this program except the American worker
Speaker 2: who winds up getting the shaft.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, you're exactly right. You're absolutely exactly right. And
Speaker 10: as much as I support President Trump and his second term,
Speaker 10: and as much as I am so grateful to God
Speaker 10: that we are blessed with another term of President Trump,
Speaker 10: we need answers on this. We need a federal government
Speaker 10: that will take control of this. Many people who are
Speaker 10: outside this country see what's happening with illegal immigration and
Speaker 10: they think, oh, well, they're taking care of it. They're
Speaker 10: taking care of the immigration problem. We don't have just
Speaker 10: an illegal immigration problem. We have a legal immigration problem.
Speaker 10: It has been heavily exploited and it has been changing
Speaker 10: our communities not for the better. So there is still
Speaker 10: a lot of work that needs to be done in
Speaker 10: rooting out all of these fraudulent visas and all of
Speaker 10: these fraudulent jobs and getting rid of them.
Speaker 2: But Sarah, there is so much to do in so
Speaker 2: little time. But there is a bit of good news here.
Speaker 2: I was struck by this story from the Council on
Speaker 2: Criminal Justice, which found that murders, and remember, murders are
Speaker 2: the hardest crime to not report. They're not like a
Speaker 2: car theft or a burglary. They found murders in the
Speaker 2: United States dropped more than twenty percent in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five from the year before. This is the single largest
Speaker 2: one year drop on record, possibly the lowest murder rate
Speaker 2: in the US since nineteen hundred. Does this vindicate this
Speaker 2: idea of going after criminal aliens you don't belong in
Speaker 2: the country is there a connection that we can draw
Speaker 2: between the active deportation of gang members and criminals and
Speaker 2: this drop in the American murder rate.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, of course you can. I mean, it doesn't take
Speaker 10: a rocket scientist to understand that once you finally have
Speaker 10: law and order into this country, once you finally have
Speaker 10: a federal law enforcement agency that has been of course
Speaker 10: emboldened by their executive, President Trump, to go out and
Speaker 10: fight crime and get rid of the bad guys. It's
Speaker 10: really that simple. We're getting rid of the bad guys.
Speaker 10: We are sending them back home. And not only are
Speaker 10: we sending the illegals back home, but again President Trump
Speaker 10: has made very clear that we will have law and
Speaker 10: order back in this country. So whether that is ICE,
Speaker 10: whether that is DHS, whether that is the National Guard
Speaker 10: who's going into places like Washington, d C. Who's going
Speaker 10: into these places with their local leaders who have decided
Speaker 10: to just completely abdicate their responsibility. President Trump has made
Speaker 10: it very clear that we will no longer tolerate the
Speaker 10: lawlessness and the vicious, violent criminals that we're getting led
Speaker 10: out into our streets time and time again. So I mean,
Speaker 10: there's a new watchman, and everyone has been put on
Speaker 10: alert that we will not tolerate it anymore, especially with
Speaker 10: regard to illegals. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: Well, and it's not just so about the crime and
Speaker 2: the immigration and everything. The economy. The economic situation is
Speaker 2: something that I think is going to play hugely in
Speaker 2: these coming mid terms later this year. I was struck
Speaker 2: by this. The CEO of the huge hedge fund Citadel,
Speaker 2: has slammed former US President Joe Biden over his handling
Speaker 2: of the economy. Here's what he had to say at
Speaker 2: Davos a little while ago.
Speaker 14: You cannot imagine how painful it was each and every
Speaker 14: day under the Biden administration to look at what new,
Speaker 14: crazy proposal was being put into place to solve a
Speaker 14: problem that didn't even exist.
Speaker 2: Sarah. This is a massive indictment from a major, major
Speaker 2: person in the hedge fund industry of just how bad
Speaker 2: things really were under Biden.
Speaker 7: It.
Speaker 2: I mean, we all knew it, but this kind of
Speaker 2: confirms it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it of course does.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 10: I will say, we could have used that energy during
Speaker 10: the actual Biden regime. It would have been nice to
Speaker 10: hear from all of these high ranking you know, economists
Speaker 10: and individuals who are now comfortable saying it, But of
Speaker 10: course it's total vindication for the rest of us who
Speaker 10: were talking about prices were up everywhere. We have had
Speaker 10: gas prices up, we had grocery prices up, everything was up,
Speaker 10: Inflation was up. And it turns out when you actually
Speaker 10: elect a president who understands the policies which he is setting,
Speaker 10: you get the results that President Trump is now delivering on.
Speaker 10: We've got a ways to go. Obviously, you can't solve
Speaker 10: a four year crisis in an entire year, but we're
Speaker 10: already seeing I will tell you they are strangely silent
Speaker 10: the left. As much as they were screaming about the eggs.
Speaker 10: Remember President Trump came into office and they were screaming
Speaker 10: about the eggs.
Speaker 4: I don't seem to.
Speaker 10: Hear too much about the eggs anymore because the ad
Speaker 10: prices have gone down tremendously. They can't scream about the
Speaker 10: eggs anymore, and now all of a sudden, they don't
Speaker 10: want to talk about those things. But I'm very, very
Speaker 10: encouraged by what I've seen, and it's nice to hear finally.
Speaker 10: Could have used it earlier, but it's nice to hear
Speaker 10: finally all of these people admitting Joe Biden ruined our economy.
Speaker 2: But Sarah, of course, there's still the culture to discuss here.
Speaker 2: And I was struck by this story out of a
Speaker 2: Kansas public school which has told kids they cannot list
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, or other right or conservative figures
Speaker 2: as heroes, including even Jesus. It's just matters. Have a
Speaker 2: look at this.
Speaker 15: The class was asked to write out who they consider
Speaker 15: a hero. One child wrote Charlie Kirk was their hero,
Speaker 15: and the guidance counselor apparently got frustrated. Then another child
Speaker 15: wrote Donald Trump, and they got more annoyed. After that
Speaker 15: a student wrote Jesus, and the counselor said that none
Speaker 15: of those names were allowed.
Speaker 10: Sarah, very quickly your reaction to this, Yeah, it reminds
Speaker 10: me of the time a few years ago pre COVID,
Speaker 10: when I took my son to his charter school and
Speaker 10: he was supposed to come up with his hero. They
Speaker 10: were doing a little walkthrough that got to dress up
Speaker 10: like it. He said, Donald Trump. They said no, And
Speaker 10: curiously enough, there was a Barack Obama who was able
Speaker 10: to be there, but know Donald Trump. Look, this is
Speaker 10: the result, the end result of all of these communists
Speaker 10: and Marxist coming in and infiltrating in the education system.
Speaker 10: You have, of course, guidance counselors like this one who
Speaker 10: are going to come in and tried to train all
Speaker 10: of these young people, trying to train an entire generation
Speaker 10: of communists. This is why the school choice movement has
Speaker 10: set fire across this nation, is because conservatives and just
Speaker 10: sane people don't want communists teaching these children what to
Speaker 10: think rather than how to think. And this is really,
Speaker 10: really truly despicable. But I hope that the parents in
Speaker 10: the school district are opening their eyes and looking at
Speaker 10: their other choices because we have to change the public
Speaker 10: school system here in this country.
Speaker 2: Sarah Gonzales from Blaze TV, thank you so much, and
Speaker 2: thank you for your courage in calling out communists that
Speaker 2: need we need more of your straight talk. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much, Sarah. Now don't go anywhere, because Only in
Speaker 2: America is coming at you right after the break. But
Speaker 2: first I wanted to show you this great lady who
Speaker 2: shut down some anti ice protesters who think that, oh, no,
Speaker 2: enforcing immigration laws is all about white supremacy. Well not
Speaker 2: so fast.
Speaker 3: Take it away, all right, you want to help me
Speaker 3: go home wherever that Homeians go.
Speaker 7: All right, I know why supremacy American knowing an.
Speaker 2: American is now there is a patriot, And I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what, those Karens could learn a thing or two
Speaker 2: from her. Stick around because Only in America is next.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program, and now it's time for
Speaker 2: that segment. You know and love Only in America. Right Well,
Speaker 2: if you like me, you cannot stand how politics has
Speaker 2: infected sport and particularly sports journalism. So I love this
Speaker 2: response of American tennis player Adasamova, who absolutely shut down
Speaker 2: this numpty who tried to get her to dump on
Speaker 2: the US of A at the Australian Open. Here's this
Speaker 2: reporter's first serve.
Speaker 6: Hey An, I'm congratulations on the wind. I've been asking
Speaker 6: a lot of the American players just how it feels
Speaker 6: to play under the American flag right now, and I'm
Speaker 6: curious how you feel.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I was born in America, so I'm
Speaker 12: always proud to represent my country, and yeah, a lot
Speaker 12: of us are doing really well and it's great to
Speaker 12: see a lot of you know, great athletes on the
Speaker 12: women's side, on the men's side, So yeah, I feel
Speaker 12: like we're all doing a great job representing ourselves.
Speaker 2: But he wasn't done there. He had another go.
Speaker 6: Just to clarify a little, I mean, sort of in
Speaker 6: the context of the last year of everything that's been
Speaker 6: happening in the US. Does that complicate that feeling at all?
Speaker 12: I don't think that's relevant.
Speaker 2: Good on Anna, I think she aced that one, and
Speaker 2: it was a double fault from the reporter who I
Speaker 2: probably didn't need to tell you this was from, of course,
Speaker 2: the New York Times. Anyway, that's all the time we
Speaker 2: have this week. See you next time, and I'll see
Speaker 2: a Sunday for outsiders. Bye bye.
